still holds good. The beginning OF
the systematic exposure of the So
cialist Party as the Party of Socialist
words and Fascist deeds, is beginning
to bear fruit among the workers. The
leaders of the Socialist Party are
feeling its effects. OF course, not being
able to refute our statements, name
calling In the truest American yellow
journalist style is being reeorted to.
The New Leader in its July 18th
issue carries an editorial under the
title "Sadist Communism The peace
loving and fair minded social fascists
complain bitterly about the barrage
Of Sadist falsehoods" and the wild
statements.
Merely to give two examples of the
wild charges" The exposure of Mr..
Norman Thomas determination with
Secretary of War Hurley, at the
meeting of the War Policies Commits
sion on May IA, 1881. There among
other things, he said, GAS Socialist,
I rejoice at the demonstration given
by the late war that planned produc-
ton is absolutely essential. the
planned production of the world war
was both impressive and imperfect"
Here, as we have already pointed
out in previous article, Mr.. Thomas
presented the world butchery of the
irnperialists as a Socialist blessing in
disguise.
Here is an example of another
wild statement" Mr.. Charles Solo
mon, their leader in Brooklyn at the
Socialist Convention in Milwaukee,
boosted that he is great liberal and
broadminded and that he would like
to see the civil rights restored to the
Czarists and White Guards in the
Soviet Union. Nothing less but that!
In this article we will ado few
more Of the wild statements" and
"Sadist falsehoods" without attempt
ing to besmirch the knightly char
acter and divine soul Of our Reverend
Mr.. Norman Thomas. We will be
very much pleased" and "honored"
if the Reverend will oblige us with an
answer instead of name calling.
Mr.. Norman Thomas in discussing
the present japanese war against the
Chinese people, states in his book,
"As See It," page U.s.
bad as Is that Intervention,
even the militarists could hardly
have forced it If Chinese chaos had
not given the Japanese some gen.
uine grievance"
Indeed one could not find better
imperialist lingo justification of rob-
Der imperialist wars against colonial
peoples than the above statement Of
Thomas. So, the fault does not lie
with imperialism, but with the Chin
ese people
Japanese imperialism did not want
to wage war against China, according
to Mr.. Thomas, they were forced. And
may we ask what are some of the
genuine grievances" Of Japanese i'm
perialism against the Chinese people?
We suppose it is the sacred right of
the imperialists to introduce cap
italist robber civilization among the
colonial peoples. Indeed the foreign
Office in Toxic and other scribblers
could not find a better ideologist to
"selr" their inperialist war than the
above quoted statement of the Presi-
Dental candidate of the Socialist
Party.
The Chinese chaos of which Mr..
Thomas speaks is the hunger and
exploitation caused by world i'm
perialism and their feudal militarist
flunkies such as the Marking Gov
eminent, etc. The Chinese toiling
masses who are suffering from the
chaos imposed upon them by world
imperialism have found a way how
to eliminate the rule of imperialism
and the native exploiters. The re-
volutionary way through the growing
developing Chinese Soviets which are
unifying the country and are the only
power which, can do away with the
hunger and misery existing in the
country.
You, Mr.. Thomas, call upon the
imperialists who have some genuine
grievances" to restore order in China.
The Chinese toiling masses, the only
ones who have genuine grievances,
have chosen another way, the revolu-
tionary way, through their Red Army
and the building Of their Chinese
Soviets.
