Grafton, deported from his birthplace
by the Free State Government OF
Fianna Fail, says. 1907
THE workers and working farmers
are reading the writings of James
Connolly, Ireland's Socialist martyr
murdered by the British for leading
the 1916 instruction. The workers
are reading the writings of Lenin
There's unemployment, people are
hungry. So they're curious about the
tactics of the leaders who brought
about the First Workers Republic"
Grafton says you must go back to
1921 and 20 to understand his de-
portation.
In 1921 he had returned from AM
erica to fight with the Eighth Bat
talon Of the South Leitrim Brigade
Irish Republican Army, against Brit
aims black and tans. Then the re-
publican war was sold out by the
Free Staters. The compromise gave
the big capitalists concessions, rich
farmers gratefully accepted a few
crumbs from the bankers tables. The
workers and small farmers-they who
bore the brunt Of the fighting-were
left stranded, their fate in every pre-
vious Irish instruction. The Sim
Fem opposition led by De Valera
fought the treaty. De Valera at
tracted the support Of the poorest
farmers and town laborers, but his
was more the platform Of discon-

We'll back De Valera In the fight
against the treaty." Grafton told his
neighbors. But we'll have to dc
more than that. Well fight the
treaty by resisting evictions and tax

"Only those who have explored
in detail the Soviet system, can
understand the difference between
the dictatorship imposed in Mos
COW and the great experiment now
under way in the United States
The Russian revolution vested alb
solute authority in one man
The government here depends
upon public opinion :. The courts
are open. The press is free. Any
paper may express whatever views
it chooses, and any citizen may get
his opinions into print I. :"
These, of course, are the old, IA
miliar fiction of capitalist demo
cracy".
How glibly this capitalist paper
talks of democracy. But where is
it? What happens during any strike?
Does not every worker know that
the whole repressive apparatus OF
the government is Immediately mob
ilized to defend the interests of the
employers, the ruling capitalist class?
Is not this exactly what happened
in the recent milk strikes, the recent
coal strikes, the recent textile
strikes?
Liberty of the pressl Who owns
the press, who owns the paper sup
ply, the printing apparatus, etc? The
employers, not the workers. How
then can one speak of liberty" of
the press? The Boston Herald is
fully aware that practically every
newspaper in this country is doni-
mated by the employers. Every man
in the street knows that.
Public opinion Who controls the
agencies of public opinion, the radio
the movies, the newspapers? Wall
Street, the capitalist class. Under
such conditions, all talk of democracy
is a delusion.
The recent Morgan investigation
just scratched the surface of things.
Yet 1t showed Enthusiastically the capt.
talist domination of the government,
it showed that Wall Street controls
the Representatives" Of the people.
The Boston Herald speaks of the
MIRA as a democratic experiment.
But the NRA forbids the workers
the right to strike 1t is being used
to stop all picketing by the workers.
To enforce it, the government is
ready to send troops and police. The
capitalist class and its hireling news
papers talk of democracy" only SO
long as the workers do not resist
their exploitation.
But the capitalist rule of force, the
capitalist dictatorship, appears as
soon as the workers fight against the
exploitation of the employers.
AGAINST the fraud of the Boston

statement made by Lenin in his

W hat
a
World
by Michael Gold
God. The Devil and
SectdridnisBt.

1 wonder whether some of our
comrades know what is really meant
by the word ''sectarian." This bust
ness of sectarianism has been the
chief bane of the American revolu-
tionary movement. Tt has held back
growth, it isolated the Communist
Party, it has even introduced new
styles in haircutting.
I haven't a dictionary handy, but
in a neighbor's thesaurus I find that
some Of the synonyms for sect are:
species, tribe, caste, clan, breed, set,
assortment, birds Of a feather, Of
kidney, set and type.
Now does that begin to make mat
ters palmer? Species: Are Com
Dlnists a special species Of human
beings? No, I think we'd all admit
they are about as good or bad, in
dividually, as most other human be-
sngs, except perverts like Hitler.
Tribe; caste: clan: Are Communists
caste or clan? Are they a special
breed, type, a setP
Alas, alas, the answer is: In the
U.S.A., we often try our hardest to
be little caste. Around New York
for a time young Communists never
wore hats and never patronized the
barber. The result was that at every
demonstration they presented first
class targets for the cops Worse
than that, they were regarded by
other young serious-minded workers
as a species! mot Of revolutionist, but
Of freak.
Nobody will listen seriously to q
freak, or accept his leadership in a
struggle. And so wheels began to
work within wheels, commiSsars and
gay pay 90 men with Moscow gold
wove a dizzy dance, secret wire
less station on Second Ave. received
a secret code message from the
Kremlin. Comrade Stain the DOGGY
man of bourgeois liberals dictated
a most terrible piece Of dictatorship,
and 10 and behold, the Komsomols
of Union Square commenced to have
their hair cut and to wear hats.
The fact of the matter is: the
change we advocate is so new, so
far-reaching and world-important,
that it is trivial for us to bother
with minor customs. Our originality
is of the mind. And anything that
isolstes a Communist from his fell
workers, be it loud necktie or
a loud manner. vegetarian complex
or an obsession with Inprecorr words,
is another small defeat for the rev.
olution.
The social revolution is an act Of
world health. 1t is the most normal
way out for a sick and mad society.
Let us keep ourselves as normal and
effective as possible, even if it means
giving up the vanity of long hair
and longer words.

OF course, the real curse of Sec

Communism is truth that isn't a

it into effect. And the Communist
who refuses to teach and work with

of course. Sometimes it is hard to
be patient; one is hurt by all the
