A New Crime of the Bulgarian
FasClsts
Fascists

THE Macedonian fascist organi-
cation termed INTRO has per-
petrated new crime in Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital On June 9th,
five individuals armed with revolt :
vers and bombs attacked the WELL
known Macedonian fighter for
freedom, Simeon Kavrakiroff, a
member of the Executive Commit
tee of the Union of Salonika Emf
grants in Sofia, struck him to the
ground and then made off with
their victim in the direction of the
Petritch district.
Crime Arouses Indignation
This crime has caused wave of
indignation to sweep over the Ma
cedonian masses in Bulgaria and
the whole Bulgarian toiling popu-
lation. Protests have come from
all sides. A delegation of forty
Bulgarian lawyers has protested to
the Home Minister and demanded
the immediate liberation of the

Peaceful Bosses Militarist
Workers, Says Socialist Paper

THE Jewish Daily Forward, in an
editorial printed May II, 1881,
stated the following:
"The overwhelming majority of
the Representatives of merchant
and finance capital in all coun-
tries are now opponents Of war
and supporters CT policy of
peace and disarmament"
The Social Fascist theology is so
obvious here that no comments are
necessary But while the merchants
and representatives OF finance cap
ital are represented as Angels of
Peace, the same editorial continues
to say:

did not develop correct methods of
work under semi-legal conditions.
Our few leading comrades working
under terrific difficulties did not
try sufficiently to develop local
cadres. Our form Of organization
was not simple enough. We failed
to make real fight against the
treacherous Negro reformists and
takers. But the basic reason for
our poor results has been the fail
ure to develop joint struggles of
Negro and white workers for their
common interests and specifically
for equal rights for the Negroes.
Here we must say that it was the
solidarity struggles in the North
that were a contributing factor in
organizing the Negroes in the South
and also influenced the Southern
white workers. Our Northern COM
rades should not forget this.
Therefore it is clear that one of
our important immediate tasks is
to win the white workers for Joint
struggles with the Negro masses.
In the past we didn't orientate
clearly on this. We capitulated
before the difficulties of organizing
the white workers who after decades
of skillful boss propaganda on Ne
gro inferiority did not readily re-
spond to our program of Negro
equality. We approached the white
workers abstractly and in a hui
manitarian way (early editorials in
Southern Worker) on the question
of unity. We thought that spread
ing thousands of leaflets would get
the white workers to smash their
main objection to the Reds. We
did not accept in our mass organ
izations white workers who still had
traces of race prejudice because we
did not see clearly enough that not
abstractly or in a humanitarian
way, but precisely by struggle would
we unite Negro and white and break

HAIL THE STRUGGLE OF
THE CHILEAN MASSES!

Resolution proposed by the Anti
Imrerialist League for and adopted
by the State Nominating Conven-
ton Of the Communist Party in
Schenectady, Sunday, June 10.
HUNDREDS of Communists in
~ Chile have been jailed by the
fascist Junta led by Davila. Strik-
es have been forbidden. These
measures are aimed to stop the
mass demonstrations already led
by the Communist Party of Chile;
the revolutionary trade union cen
ter, the Chilean Labor Federation;
and the Anti mperialist League of
Chile. These acts prove the fascist
nature of the Davila Government.
The recent declarations of Davila
prove that he and the other leaders
of the movement which overthrow
the Montero Government used
radical" phrases and radical
program to win support among the
masses of Chile. But their Gov
eminent is not anti-imperialist; it
is not a working class movement.
The Davila Government is an effort
OF the bourgeoisie of Chile to re-
tain control of the Government, to
stem the rising tide of revolution
airy struggle.
This Nominating Convention ex-
poses the reactionary nature of the
Davila Government before the mas
ses of New York State, and of the
Socialist Party, which hailed the
'Davila Socialist Government" as
a movement in the interest of the
working class. We send our frat
ernal greetings to Elias Laferte.
Secretary of the Chilean Labor
Federation, twice the Communist
candidate for president of Chile,
and in April of this year for the
Chilean Senate, and to the hun
dreds of other Communists thrown
into Jail by the fascist Davila re-
gime. We demand from the Chilean
Government and from the United
States Government the release of
all snti-imperialist fighters now in
the jeilS of Chile. We pledge to
raise this demand throughout the
election campaign.

Here we have an open call for
imperialist war against the Soviet
Union. The Second Socialist In
ternational in all it's sections has
recently adopted left phrases in
the struggle against war in order
to lull the watchfulness of the toll
ing masses. We call the attention
of the readers to the leading edi-

BY HARRY JACKSON AND
NAT ROSS.

THE economic crisis in the terri
tory covered by District II
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and louisiana is sharper
than in other sections, of the United
States. This is true because of the
existence of semi-feudal remnants
in Southern economy on which is
superimposed a highly rationalized
industry. Second, because of the
traditional lower social standard of
living OF the masses which was
established primarily by the super
exploitation of the Negroes in in
dustry and in particular in the
Black Belt and the maintenance
Of the separation of Negro and
white workers on the basis of Ne
gro inferiority. Finally, because of
the chronic and deep agrarian crisis,
the main base of Southern econ
ofny, which is intensified by a back
ward agrarian technique.
The depth of the crisis and the
unbelievable starvation and misery
among the Southern masses has al
ready sharpened the class struggle,
despite the weakness of the revo-
lutionary movement in the South.
The bosses realize that their rule is
loaded with dynamite which may
flare up any moment under the
pressure of mass hunger of the
fighting Southern toilers. The
revolutionary organizations have to
work under Semi-legal conditions,
with frequent outbursts of violent
terror against them. There already
exist number of fascist organ
izations who try to bolster a sharp
nationalist patriotic spirit and who
preach a special increased terror
against the Negroes in an attempt
to keep Negro and white workers
divided. They know full well that
the entire structure of Southern
economy is based primarily on the
super exploitation of the Negroes
and the continued division of Ne
gro and white workers. At the
same time there is an increase in
social demagogy in an attempt to
chain both Negro and white work
ers to capitalism. Despite the mar
row social base for social fascism, they
are steadily increasing their activity
especially among the middle class
elements as well as among the
white workers and are being given
more and more encouragement and
support by the lynch masters and
their press.

We Must Find Time to
Spend with the Worker
New York.

lNEW Vi
Comrades:
L am in the Party two and a half
months now and almost since the
very first week I have heard and
read on all sides about the failure
thus far of the Party to get into
close contact with the masses.
In analyzing the past activity of
the Party, in an effort to see where
the fault lay in regard to this i'm
portant question, the Party has come
to the conclusion that the all too
frequent and lengthy meetings &C
count in part for our failure to be a
Party of as well as for the masses.
However, we have found it diff
cult to eliminate most of these meet
ings, especially functionaries Il am
aware of the experiment with some
of the units who are to have a meet
ing every second week instead OF
every week..
The reason for this difficulty is
that we have not gone into the mat
ter deeply enough. 1t is insufficient
to say that there are too many meet
ings. When we examine the content
of these meetings then we can decide
whether they may be reduced in
number and in length.
Have we ever stopped to realize the
tremendous number of demonstra-
lions that we have, each of which
must be planned either by the ~ o.
or taken up by the District, discussed
and planned by the Section and then
by the Unit, for every one Of which
leaflets must be drawn up, issued,
distributed?
I counted the demonstrations in
the months of April and May and
there were at least ten. Think of i'll!
more than one week. For the
month of June the average will be
almost two a week. Then, is it any
wonder that the District and Sec
ton and Unit bureaus and members
must meet and meet and meet, and
that they have not the time for
living among, becoming part and par
eel of the masses?
If we could spend more time among
the workers and have demonstra-
ton, say on the average of two a
month, instead Of two week, then
when we would hold demonstration
we would really be able to mobilize
a great body of the workers and it
would really be a mass demonstra-
ton,
That does not mean that I think
we could scrap any OF the issues
around which we call demonstrations,
but good many of them could be
linked up, coordinated.
And my suggestion is that:
J. We spend our time organizing
block committees and work with
these and the ones already organized
so that they function.
g. All these thousands of sigma
lures we've collected should be con-
sidered contacts. Comrades should
visit them again and again. All those
workers who did not sign--distrustful

have been betrayed so many times by
