warning the workers not to patron

daily struggles carried on by the
workers, especially in the factories,
and among the unemployed for
recruiting members into the Party.
In order to carry this through, an
agitation campaign must be conducted
in the Party and among the workers
in mass organizations close to the
Party, industrial unions, ETC., on the
role OF the Communist Party.
In view of the fact that a large
majority Of our Party members have
only recently joined, we should bring
before them the whole struggle of
our Party towards Bolshevization.
We will lave to bring forth the
struggle against sectarianism, its
roots in the history of our Party and
in the American workingclass move
ment, the liquidation of the factional
struggle which followed the Commu-
mist International Address in May,
1929. and the present tasks confront
ing us in building a mass proletarian
Party in line with the Open Letter.
Activities should be conducted
around the development Of our Party
during the past IA years, dealing Spe-
officially with the role of the Party in
the struggles of the American work
ing class, the task of the Communist
Party in winning the American work

In the words of the founders OF
modern Socialism, Marx and Engels,
THE Communists fight for the every
day interests of the movement. But
in defending these, it also fights and
prepares for the future of the move
ment.
The Socialists betray both the
present and the future of the move
ment.
On the question of democracy"
violence dictatorship, etc., the So
cialiSt Party deceives the workers,
while the Communist Party defends
the interests of the workers.
The Communists point out, what
Marx and Engels pointed out in their
works, that there can never be any
democracy for workers while the CAPT.
talists own the newspapers, the fac
tories, and control the State power
and the Army and police. The Com
munist Party declares that the right
to vote is only the form that conceals
the real dictatorship of the capitalist
class, and that therefore the dictator
ship of the capitalist class must be
abolished and replaced by the rule
of the workers, the dictatorship Of
the proletariat
The Socialists are opposed to the
dictatorship of the workers. They
believe in permitting the capitalists
to have all the rights of workers,
after the workers are in a position
to seize power. s9@
The two opposite policies have
already been tested. In Germany the
Socialist Party was in the majority
at the Weimar Convention after the
Kaiser was overthrown. Instead of
going forward to the establishment
of Socialism, they established capital
ist democracy" And since all the
factories and the real organs Of
power were in the hands OF the CAPT.
talists, the capitalist democracy de-
veloped into what we see today in
Germany Fascism.
In Russia, the Communist Party
put its principles into practice, and
established real workers democracy,
democracy only for the workers, by
establishing the proletarian dictator
ship. And today they are laying the
basis for Socialism. In the Soviet
Union the workers are stronger than
anywhere in the world. There one
can see the results of the two differ
ent policies.

Comrade Editor:
We know that all the boys and
girls and even men are interested in
some kind of sports, and very little
has been done for them to show them
that the workers have a Labor Sports
Union. I know if something were
done to show them the sports union
of the workers they would fall in
line.
How could this be done when we
are so short of forces? One way
is for every speaker of the working
class organizations to give some of
their talks on street corners for this
needy cause. The young worker
wants sports.
The second way is to get the ad-
dresses Of all sports clubs, send the
Labor Sports pamphlets to them, and
ask them for a game in the parks
where hundreds of workers who know
nothing of the LSU will become &C
quainted with it. Playing games
with other LSU teams will not cause
them to expand, and they must step
out of that circle to reach the mass
es. This can only be done by all
workers pushing thenr> into larger

which first has to be made, and bread
crumbs, and then baked in an oven.
The oven creates heat and is ex-
pensive to run.
At this season fresh fish is much
cheaper than canned fish by half
and more, and it is certainly more
healthful. Cooked, or broiIed plainly
with lump of butter melted over
it, it is less labor, cheaper and more
beneficial than escalloped salmon.
Today tomatoes are cheap. They
are most beneficial to the health and
should be eaten daily. Vegetables
such as carrots and wax-beans are
also at their lowest, lower than the
fresh or canned lima beans which
were recommended.
The fruits of the day are grapes,
plums and peaches. These too are
cheaper than the recommended
orange.
1t should be the function Of the
writer to point these out; to make up
menus of the cheapest current foods
which will make a completely ade-
quate diet, and not a minimum MAIN
tenance diet.
He should also attempt to steer

Socalled fresh eggs can be bought
from II to AZ cents a dozen. 1t is
perplexing to choose the correct ones.
Usually larger sized items are
cheaper by weight altho more expen-
sive by the piece. But this is not
true at present in the egg market.
Very large eggs are 20 per cent more
expensive, although only Is per cent
heavier than the next size. The most
expensive article is not necessarily
the best. There is much trickery
and fraud in the markets which
should be exposed in the Daily

food markets Of the capitalistic sys-
tenn step will be taken towards the
radicalizing of the women, and by
