Win School Strikes

Spartacus League counterpart to the
Young Pioneers in the United States)

Hamburg at which Nazi flags were

known for whipping school children,
had to be removed under the pres
sure of children's demonstration
Three hundred children assembled
outside the school, waiting for this
teacher. AS soon as he appeared,
wearing the Nszi uniform, the chill
dren booed and demonstrated against
him. The teacher was forced to ask
for transfer to another school.
Thousands Of workers children in
Berlin refused to participate in the
Nazi May Day celebration, although
attendance was compulsory. The
children refused to sing the Nazi
songs in school
Eleven school strikes have taken
place recently. the children demand

May I add further that not only
is circle for united fronts, but all
of the circles of New York City are
in favor too This was shown at the
city central committee of April /.
At this meeting a motion was passed
that committee of five be elected
to go to the executive committee of
the Socialist Party of local New York
to let them know that the yipsels of
New York were in favor of united
fronts, and whether it was possible
for us to join in the united fronts
The executive committee of the So
cialist Party answered mo-.
Being a member Of the yipsels,
know just how they feel about this
whole question. Many of us are be-
ginning to lose faith in the Socialist
Party mainly because of their atti-
tude and actions concerning the uni
ted front. Their main excuse for
not going into the united fronts is
that they are afraid that they would
be swallowed up by the Communist
Party In other words they haven't
enough faith in themselves.
How can we Yipsels have faith in
our leaders if they haven't any faith
in themselves? Are they afraid to
let us work hand in hand with the
Communists because we might sec
them in comparison to our own par
ty? Are they afraid that we might

leave the Socialists and Join the
Communists? According to their ex-
cuses, this seems to be the main
reason they are aaginst united fronts.
reason they are against unitde fronts.
Why, too, did the police stop the
Upset parade before reaching Union
Square on May Day? Did julius
Gerber, perhaps, give them orders to
do SO? Is it possible that julius Ger
Der did not want us to listen to the
Comm'&ists at their demonstration
Perhaps that also explains why a
special meeting was called of the yip-
sells to take place at the Rand School
at the time of the Communist de-
monstration. Why are our leaders
afraid of having us hear the words
of the Communists? What do they
fear?
The Socialist Party is taking the
risk Of losing lis entire younger mem
bership if it continues to stay out Of
the united front and thus keeps the
workers split Let the Socialist Par
ty take notice!

The Washington Press during the
time of the convention Of the vets
in Washington published all kinds of
provocative stories in an attempt to
oisorganize the fight and break the
unity of the veterans. 1t carried
stories aimed at creating race riots
between Negro and white veterans.
In this campaign, however, it failed
miserably and its attempt to get away
with the lying story about my join

Of the lengths to which the capital

ton camps proposed by the Roose-
Welt administration at 81 per day as
a substitute for the payment of the
bonus. I oppose the taking of dis
abled veterans into these camps in
lieu of their disability allowances
For 3-Point Program.
I stand for the three point pro-
gram adopted at the Convention Of
the Veterans in Washington which
demand: l. Immediate cash payment
of the Bonus; g. Restoration of the
cuts in the disability allowances; g.
Immediate remedial relief for the I'M
employed and farmers.
For these veterans, who because of
years Of unemployment, starvation
and restitution, have been forced to
go into these camps, / urge that they
continue to organize the fight for

ny on inside these camps fight for
increased pay, better food and living

against Negro veterans and against
the orders and army discipline of the

CALL FOR YOUTH ANTlWAR CONGRESS IN THE UNITED STATES
S SPA R K S

MORGAN sat at the Senate investi-
wi cation looking very amused at the
Office boys who were asking him ques-
tions.
He could fire anyone of the pyg-
mics who were exposing him.
Morgan didn't pay any income
taxes for the last three years.
Why should he? That would be
like taking money from one pocket
and putting it into another.
WHEN Morgan decided that he had
" had enough for the day, he Simp-
ly insisted that his Office manager
continue the answers to the question.
IN 1918, Morgan's father was ex-
L amined before Congress. He told
them that he controlled practically
every important corporation in the
United States, and what were they
going to do about it.
low much was done about it can
Ii be judged by the fact that the
present Morgan controls even more
companies than his father did.
CENATOR Glass was always rushing
v in eagerly to help Morgan when
some of the questions got warm.

In March, 1917. and quarterly
thereafter until March 1920 or well
through the remainder of the World
