cific features Of the current strikes
the large proportion of spontaneous
strikes, the advancing Strike-leader-
ship of the T.U.U.L. unions, and, as
the outstanding characteristic, the
victorious outcome of the great ma
jority of the strikes. The editorial
shows against the revolutionary
leadership Of the Trade Union Unity
League the reactionary leadership Of
the American Federation of Labor
and the Socialist Party 1t shows the
strike breaking role of the govern
ment in its use of military and police
force, in its labor departments for
Cancellation, and, finally, in its fas-
cist-featured National Industrial Re
covery Bill (although, it should be
stated in criticism, the current issue
of "The Communist" contains no ar
ticle that specifically takes to task
the Roosevelt hunger program
OF particular Importance is the
Resolution Of the Political Buro, THE
Scottsboro Struggle and the Next
Steps" A new stage, the Resolution
points out, has been reached in the
liberation struggle of the Negro
masses: the ground has been pre-
pared for the Negro masses to assert
themselves as IAN active political
force independent of the bourgeois
political parties" Accompanying this
manifestation, in logical consequence,
is the noticeable struggle Of the Ne
gro proIetariat for leadership within
the Negro movement.
The Resolution analyses our united
front tactics in the course of the
Scottsboro struggle and draws at
tention, through telling examples, to
the Right (the main) danger in our
application of the basically correct
Party line Of the united front, The
Right errors, as well as the Left"
opportunist mistakes, the Resolution
correctly points out, reflect, besides
general sectarianism, a lack Of clarity
on the feminist teachings on the ma
tional question: lack calling for
inceSsant enlightenment and relent-
less correction.
The rising militancy of the Ameri-
can farmers is represented in an in
formative analytical article by Com
rade Puro. THE Glass Struggle in the
American Countryside" - a survey
Of the recent militant mass struggles
of the American farmers.
Excellent is the article of Comrade
r. Martinez Villena, 1.-THE Rise OF
the Revolutionary Movement in
Cuba" Besides evidencing a wide
range knowledge Of the Cuban situa-
ton and of an ability to view that
situation as a clear feminist, Com
rade Villena is gifted with prose
style that is refreshing. incidentally,
the translation deserves to be COM
mended)
AS an extension Of the Marx Mem
orial Campaign there has been in
cluded in this issue Of "The Commu-
mist" a reprint of the valuable In
PRODUCTION by the Marx Engels-Lenin
Institute to the new edition Of Karl
Marks "Critique Of the Gotha Pro-
gram" recently published in English
by International Publishers.
In addition u current issue con-
tains Jan Rellings very useful ar
ticle, 1.-THE Political Connections of
the International Armament Firms"
and the concluding section of Com
rade Olgins thoroughgoing and in
structive review Of the two new Lenin
volumes, Towards the Seizure OF
Power" which, incidentally, Comrade
Olgin translated from the Russian.
