of the American ruling class. His opposition to
Communism is servilely based on a defense of the
imperiaiSt oppreSSors and of the ghetto interests
OF the Negro bourgeoisie He says:
IF Communism is menace to American ideals
and institutions the only panacea or solution
appears to be real democracy government OF
the people, for the people, and by the people
rather than government Of people, for people
and by people,
Mfr Richardson thus pretends that the white
masses participate in the government Of this
country under capitalism. He cannot see the
reality of the capitalist dictatorship behind the
shibbloleths of democracy and the pretense Of
popular government. Yet, as notable a repreSen-
tative Of capitalism as Mr.. James W. Gerard,
former U. S. Ambassador to Germany stated
abut year ago that the United States was
ruled by SO men, Mr.. Gerard gave their names
They were naturally all capitalists. The Commu-
mist Manifesto long ago pointed out that "the
executive of the modern (capitalst) State is but
a committee for managing the common affairs
OF the whole borgeosie" Even casual study
OF the government apparatus of the capitalist
states prove the truth of this analysis
In his article, Mr. Richardson shows a COM
plete lack of understanding of the fundamental

Indeed, In past conventions of the A. F. of l..
they have already accepted these plat1tudes and
eVas1ons The s. p. trade union program is not
one OF opposition to the A. F. of L, blIreaucrats
but Of unity with them 1t provides united
front basis for their common struggle against
the Communists and militant masses of workers.
AS for the trade union policy of the 'lefts' or
m1llta1ts,~ submitted in the form of an amend
ment to the committees proposals it is vague
and absurd For many months these 'lefts,"
the Music wing Of the S. p have been talking
radical" on the trade union question in the
8. p. And now when they come forward with
their definite proposition it sums up, after few
mild whereases of criticism of the A. F. of L.
leadership, as follows: that there be called
conference OF all organizations and individuals
who favor their kind Of labor mionism and that
there be set up an American section of the Am
sterdam International which shall proceed d.
rectly to organize the unorganized This smacks
OF dual unionism, but the whole project is
couched 30 ambiguousy that we are not let into
the secret Of just what is meant by it exactly
In any event 1t will give the "left" social fascists
something radical to talk about, and that is all
they need. Experience, as well as their proposals
to the s. P. convention, shows clearly that their
policy is the same as that of Hillqut and Green
and their differences with them are only matter
Of words.
The proposals Of both the right and "Ieft"
wings OF the Socialist Party show that this
organization has no program Of militant struggle
Tor the workers. The whole thing is Just pres
entstion ot the A. r. Of l. line OF class collabora-
ton, dressed UP here and there with radical
Technology to adapt it to the growing radicaliza
ton OF the workers From the s. p. the workers
can expect only treachery and betrayal Only
In the T. U U. L. unions and revolutionary minor
tiles in the A. r. of 1. unions is there policy
to be found Of militant leadership corresponds
fpr TO the reestng needs ot tbe workers.

matter OF course that wages have to come down
In the crisis and they base their wage policy
upon that conception. Their proposal for the
six-hour day, five-day week is only Hoover's
stagger plan in overalls.
AT time when the tyrannical suppression OF
democracy in the trade unions and the mspeak-
able gangster rule fairly cries out the Socialist
Party passes over the whole situation with glib
sentence that Socialists should work for democ-
racy wherever undemocratic practices may
exist" 1nasnluch as its own unions are the most
gangster-ridden in New York and the most de-
void Of rank and file control, this whole question
is touchy one for the S. P. People who live IN
glass houses are not given to throwing stones.
The question of industrial unionism Is handled
with typical hypocrisy. The committees pro-
posal favors consolidation and analgamation of
unions wherever practical" This is almost as
what the A. F. Of L. said 20 years ago at its
Rochester convention when Gompers a militant
enemy Of Industrial urionism, wrote the resoIu-
ton. Every labor faker In the A. r. Of L. will
subscribe to the S. P. conception Of industrial
unionism. Just how much the Socialist Party
fights for industrial unionism is indicated by its
stubborn and long resistance against every at
tempt to amalgamate It's needle trades craft
unions. Here, evidently, the question is not
practical" one.
The committees proposal reterates the tradi-
uonal s. P. hypocrisy that the Party does not
seek to dominate the trade unions. And this in
the face of its complete control OF the A. r. Of
l.. needle trades unions. These organizations,
Ike their similars in Europe, do not take single
step unless 1t is first OK'ed by the leadership
OF the s. P. They, like Socialist unions in gen
eral are only mass auxliaries of this reactionary
party
There is not word in the proposed trade
union program of the official leaders of the So
cialist Party that Green and VOL will object to.

THE year Of 1882 viii witness sessions OF many
political parties-parties that are responsible
for policies Of government in their respective
countries determining the welfare of several
hundred millions Of people. In Italy the Fascist
Party will convene; in Germany the Social De-
naocratic; in the United States the Republican
and its Wall Street twin the Democratic.
And in the Soviet Union the Communist Party
has recently held It's Seventeenth Conference for
mulating policies, and checking up ON results OF
the past years work.
In outlook, guiding principles, in whom it rep
reSents and in results achieved, this last Party
differs as fundamentally from the others as the
new community dining rooms and teeming fac
tories OF Stalngrad and Magnitogorsk differ
from the bread-lines and Silenced workshops of
Chicago and Berlin.

IeIS6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS &c
No better analysis Of the frame-up system as
weapon Of capitalism in its war on the work
ing-clas could be had than Vern Smiths PAM
phlet on that subject. Himself prisoner many
times, the author knows from first-hand ex-
perience of what he is writing. Sitting in the
Pinevile, Kentucky Jail for nearly four months
Comrade Smith devoted his time to prepare a
second edition of his pamphlet by bringing it
up to date. Now the workers will get in this Sec
ond edition. an analysis of such event as Mayor
Walkers demagogic trip to California to make
political capital out of the Mooney Case etc.
The other three pamphlets mentioned above are
on three of our present outstanding cases. Tom
Mooney exposes in his own words the rotten
betrayal by the A F. Of L. leaders Of the fight Of
the working class for his unconditional release.
scottsboro in Pictures gives vivid account of
the whole story of this fragrant trame-up against
the Negro nation in America; this unsuccessful
attempt to keep the Negroes cowed and afraid to
fight under the leadership Of the Communist
Party for equality and self determination
The Imperial Valley pamphlet is a masterpiece
Of workers self-defense in court
ALL THESE PAMPHLETS MUST BE UTn-
lied TO MOBILIZE FOR MAY SEVENTH

for international demonstration for the safe

tors a day, Magnitogorsk sends word that the
first metal has come forth from the furnace
Nizhni-N ovgorod sends delegation who pre-
sent the Conference with the first fifteen auto
mobiles made in their recently completed plant, !
After discussion on this years tasks, in COM
plotting the first Five Year Plan, Molotov pre-
sented the program and directives of the Second
Five-Year Plan Formerly metal worker Mo-
lotov, has become leading Bolshevik and
chairman of the Council of Peoples Conlmissars.
The Second Plan calls for an even more ambition
economic and social development than the first.
But there is no question of its practical realiza-
ton, even over-fulfillment. For, as Molotov
commented, the plan is not product of mere
desk work. but of millions of workers enthusiast
tically building socialism 1t is task set by
life itself.
Its concrete provisions are already broadcast
which by the end of the Second Plan, will triple
the populations standards of living, and so
develop productive forces of the country that all
remnants Of capitalist elements, classes in gen.
eral and exploitation Of man by man will be COM
pletely ended. In the words of the thesis, ''the
Second Plan will transform the whole of the
toiling population into conscious, active builders
of a classics, socialist society"
Two Glass Parties and Two Worlds
The only perspective that all parties OF the
capitalist class including the socalled socialist,
can in reality hold before the masses is that of
increasing misery and oppression, and imperialiSt
wars.
The perspective that the Communist Party
holds before the masses, as demonstrated by
what is taking place in the Soviet Union is rising
economic and cultural standards and-following
the vanqushing of the bourgeoisie-unbroken
international peace.
Two worlds, and two classes, with their Parties
leading, the one to destruction, the other to
construction There can be no doubt as to the
road and the leadership which the worlds masses
will choose.

Before the Conventions OF Our Enemies
The Socialist Party and Trade Unionism

IN THE MATERIAL submitted to the coming
national convention of the Socialist Party in
Milwaukee the agenda committee composed of
Hlquit, Oneal and LaYdler outlines a long state
nlent on trade union policy. This is charac-
teristic combination of demagogy and subservi-
ence to the A. F.. of L. bureaucracy The So
called left wing also submits it's program in the
form of resolution, which is fit companion
Of the official statement of policy.
The proposals of Hillquit ct al are in sub
stance appeal TO the A. F. OF L. leadership for
recognition the party of the trade unions.
The main difficulty is that the A F. of L. bureau
Gratis do not see the need for the Socialist Party
as their official party The central problem as
the report sees it, is ''the lack Of satisfactory
understanding between the trade unions and the
Socialist Party" that is, between the Green-Wo
leadership and the S. P. In the whole document
there is not single word of criticism of the A.
F Of L nlisleaders, not one denunciation of their
shameful betrayal Of the unemployed of their
wage-cutting policy, of their gangsterism and
graft, of their support of American inperialisms
war preparations Doubtless Green and Co. Will
be duly appreciative Of this pledge of support by
the s. p They will correctly understand it as
a proposal for united front against the revo-
lutionary unions of the r. U. u L. and the
growing ninorities in the A. F. of L.
DemagOgy.
OF course, the committee demands the six-hour
day and five-day week. and it has the cheek to
add without reduction in pay" The cynicism
and demagogy of this demand" is exemplified
by the fact that in every country the Socialist
trade unions are busily accepting wage cuts,
forcing them through in fact. while at the same
time engthening the hours and speeding up the
workers. The experience in the needle trades
here shows what an utter fake is the proposal
for no reduction in wages. The fact is that the
Socialists, no less than the capitalists accept as
