Solid Basis Among the
American Workers

OFT is time that the entire Party should understand
that without a solid basis among the decisive ee-

the revolutionary struggles of the working class and
free them from the influence of the social democrats
and the bourgeoisie which still prevails among the
decisive elements of the working class however favor
able the conditions for influence may be-
It is idle chatter to talk about the revolutonizing
Of the working class by the Party unless the Party

Talk about the defense of the Soviet Union and
struggle against imperiallst Is nothing but empty

LYNN. Mass, Oct. 19-Frederick j.

Mayor polled 1896 votes in the pri-

vote recorded for the Communists
here. DR.. Ahronian, running on the

the Communist vote was 1875.
Mayor Frederick J. Manning polled
1888 and Michael J. Murphy l,446.
A recount is demanded in order to
place the workers candidate on the
final ballot. The two candidates poll
ing the highest votes remain on the
ballot for the final election. Rey-
nolds' vote is close to Murpf1y's. 1t is
quite certain that recount will place
the Communist candidate ahead Of

vantage of it. The masses are even
more eager to learn how the Party
proposes to carry out the revolution
and what the revolution will give
them. The workers, peasants, city
poor, students ask this question. This
has not yet been answered.
There is still among the masses
the thought that the idea of the
agrarian and anti-imperialist revolu-
ton is a very good one, but it cannot
be brought about. The explanation
OF this is one of the biggest tasks
before the Party and the revolution

day means much and the Party and
the Y. G. l.. are straining all efforts
to bring their message to the masses
and rally the workers to higher
struggles.
Against "Class Peace"
The government asks for peace
to be able to stabilize itself. The
Communist Party calls upon the
workers to prevent class peace In the
country, and while the exploiters
rule such peace can only be secured
at the cost of submission of the
workers to the bosses.
Strikes, demonstrations, unem-
ployed struggles, the taking Of land
by the peasants. will prevent the
government from consolidating itself
and will make it easier to go ahead
with the tasks of the revolution.

With Roosevelt

Fear More Revolt.
In response to pressing inquiries,
Aldrich finally admitted that he had
requested the Senate Stock Ex-
change Committee to avoid any
serious inquiry into the loans of
the Rockefeller bank because Of
the disturbed condition of the
island"
He feared that the knowledge Of
the extent mad the methods of
American bank loans would arouse
the Cuban masses to uncomfortable
furies of revolt, he said.
The Chase National Bank, which
was headed by Albert H. Wiggin
at that time, loaned over $225,000,-
900 to the Machado butcher govern
ment for the construction of the
Capitol buildings, roads, resorts.
Workers and Peasants Pay
On this enormous loan the Ma
chado and the present Grau San
Martin governments have guaran-
teeu to collect the huge interest
payments and repayments. These
payments must be collected in
taxes.
The Communist Party Of Cuba,
leading Cuban workers and peas
ants, is fighting for the complete
cancellation of all these loans
made by the Wall Street bankers.
1t is to avert cancellation that
Welles, United States Ambassador,
is now comforting with the Cuban
officials of the new regime.
Other Investments
The Rockefeller interests are not
confined to the enormous loans
through the Chase National Bank,
however.
In addition to these loans, Percy
Rockefeller, together with Vincent
Astor, owns tremendous sugar
plantations and mills in the Oriente
province of Cuba.
Tied Up With Roosevelt
1t is well known that the Rookie
Teller interests are closely connect
ed with the Roosevelt government.
Roosevelt has been guest on Vim
cert Astor's private yacht. Roose-
Welt is also connected with the Wall
Street interests who have huge in
vestments in Cuba through his
son-in-law Dali, who is closely
connected with the New York Stock
Exchange. Roosevelt received the
support of the Rockefeller crowd
during the last election.
These Rockefeller properties are
at present in the hands of the
Cuban workers and peasants who
have seized them from their over
seers. The warship Hamilton of
the United States feet is now
anchored near these plantations
ready to land marines at mo-
ment's notice, in defense of the
properties.
Other Wall Street groups have
enormous investments in Cuba, in
Guiding the Morgan controlled Elec-
trio Bond and Share, the National
City Bank, etc.
Earlier in the hearings it Was
shown that the Chase National
Bank, together with Virgins, has
reaped enormous profits by secret
ly buying their own stock and then
unloading it upon the market after
they had run the price up from
5000 to 5000 a share. Virgins
family made huge profits this way.

"a Thorn in Your Side" "

People who do not profess erudite or

thing that is irritating. a perpetual
source of annoyance, as being thorn
In the side.
The original form of the phrase is "a
thorn in the flesh" and it comes to use
from the Bible 1t is in the Second
Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Cor
tnthians that we find:
And lest I should be exalted above
measure through the abundance of the
