institutions were unsound.'
Another Stupid Forgery
That the letterhead of the Grand
Rapids Party organization is for
gerry of the most inept kind-capable
only of the most stupid police pro-
voeateurs-is seen even by casual
comparison of the faxed one with the
original:
1. The official nameof the Com
munist Party section-as printed ON
the authentic letterhead-is COM
MUNIST PARTY OF U. S. A. DIS
TRICT SEVEN, SECTION "R."
On the other hand, in the forged
Ietterhead, it is given as COM
MUNIST PARTY OF U. S. A.,
DISTRICT SEVEN, GRAND RA-
PIDS SECTION.
2. In their zeal, the police for
gers had printed on the fake letter.
head, READ THE DAILY WORK
Err, THE OFFICIAL PARTY
PAPER. The genuine letterhead of
the Grand Rapids organization
contains no mention of the Daily
Worker. What is more, the Daily
Worker is never described as the
official party paper" but usually
as the central or official organ
of the Communist Party"
8. The forged letterhead puts
forward the slogan: "Organize the
unorganized into fighting union"
Such a Slogan was never put forth
by the Communist Party, which at
all times calls for the organization
OF the un0rganized INTO specific
mining, etc.,-under the leadership
unions, such as auto, metal, rubber,
of the Trade Union Unity League.
4. Note that the forged letter
head contains no address, while the
general letterhead contains the adj
ress of the section headquarters.
Only police spy would be stupid
enough to invest money in printing
letterheads without an address.
The rest of the letter, which is on
par with the whole police fabrication,
purports to be instructions to Com
munists to spread rumors in order to
bring about the failure of banks.
Confirms Fosters Charge
Thus, the charge made in Detroit
yesterday by William z. Foster, Com
munist candidate for president, that
this new plot is police fabrication
from start to finish, is fully con-
firmed. There is no George Row.

member of the staff of the Daily
Worker, and stationed permanently
in its editorial offices in New York
