The Socialist Convention

THE National Convention of the Socialist
i Party opened yesterday in Detroit
The leaders of the Socialist Party face
internal dissension in their party. They
are disputing among themselves as to
questions Of policy and tactics. There are
cleft" groups and cold Guard" groups.
There is group that calls for revision of the
plank of internationalsm. There is group that
calls for revolutionary methods"
This motley confusion of doctrine reflects the
struggle that has been going on in Socialist Party
of the honest working class elements against the
support which the Thomases, ETC.. have been giving
to the N. R. A. Codes and the effort of the lead
ership to stem this rebellion in the rank and file
against these policies.
Fundamentally the leadership of the Socialist
Party supported the main actions of the Roosevelt
program. 1t played into the hands of the Roose-
welt reaction by depicting it as liberal" govern
ment. Its main task will be to determine how to
continue this under the new conditions.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party
has addressed an open letter to all members of the
Socialist Party and to the delegates at the Conven
ton. This letter, printed in the Daily Worker on
May 26, deserves the widest popularity 1t will be
placed in the hands of the convention delegates.
1t calls upon all honest, class conscious members
OF the Socialist Party to consider the vital ques-
tons that face the working class with the objective
of forging the working class united front, without
which the capitalist class can never be overthrown
1t warns against those who are now coming forward
with pseudorevoutonarl platforms to block the real
revolutionary development of the Socialist workers
The Socialist Party convention emphasizes the
necessity for popularzng the letter of the Central
Committee to the Socialist Party membership.

More Trickery in Steel

ROOSEVELT is again moving forward
IL as the chief strikebreaker in the steel
industry.
He tricked the Weirton steel strikers
with his honey promises of N.R.A. "arbi-
tration.' The result of that was the recent
Weirton decision upholding the Weirton
employers to the full against the steel workers.
Faced now with the prospect of an approaching
steel strike Roosevelt signs a new steel code and
comes forth again with his same old stall about
IAN election" under the Supervision Of appro-
pirate government agency"
The new code means absolutely nothing and
the workers know it.
AS for the new Roosevelt promise about super
vsed elections for collective bargaining" they are
like poison gas They drugged the workers last
year when they weren't so wise to Roosevelt, when
the Roosevelt line still sounded good.
Today there must be a drastic rejection of all
the Roosevelt promises The steel workers must
go ahead with their strike plans with absolute
disregard Of anything Roosevelt has to say. What
ever Roosevelt says is only to trick the men, to
weaken and confuse them, so that they will be
unable to strike at their Steel Trust exploiters
Steel workers, watch out for the Roosevelt
NR.A arbitration" and Supervised election" stuff
Stick to your own rank and file committees your
own shop committees.
Prepare for strike. Delay through endless
arbitration" means defeat The steel corporations
just love this arbitration" stuff Lock what it
brought them in the Weirton case.
Mass power, struggle, strike. Let the
Steel Trust feel the power of the workers!

Toledo, A Warning!

ITO THE workers of Toledo we sound the
L most earnest warning. Roosevelt's
agent, Taft, has just managed to get
twenty-four hour delay in the strike of
the electrical workers.
These delays are terribly dangerous
for the strike A delay is blow at the
strike and the strikers. The experience of
Minneapolis, Detroit, and other strikes
should be serious warning.
The N.R.A. mediator, Taft, has only
one purpose-to protect the corporations
from the power of the oppressed workers,
He has no other purpose. And his main
strategy now is to stall, stall, stall, in the
same way that a hurt fighter stalls for
time until he can get his wind again.
But when your enemy wants to stall is
Just the time to strike hardest That is
the crucial strategic moment. The men
re ready and eager to strike. Who is hold
ing them back? Whoever does so is an
enemy of the strike
Spread the strike No delay! Do not
give the companies any chance to mobilize
their forces! Toledo, take warning!

Fascism Drops Out and
Takes Leading Role in
War Preparations

All that the Bolsheviks said about
it when the League of Nations was
founded has been fully confirmed.
But those powers remained in the
League who are interested in the
maintenance of peace.
This is how historical develop
ment reversed the role of the
League. The bourgeois powers who
prepared the united march against
the U.S.S.R. split. The U.S.S.R. be-
came the tremendous international
force dangerous for the enemies,
and force capable of rendering as
sistance to its friends. The US.
SIR. proved she is firmly pursuing
the policy Of peace, and that the
idea of aggression is foreign to her.
Her neighbors, who uninterruptedly
had been provoked against her with
SANDER regarding Soviet imperial
ism,' were compelled by the U.S.S.R.
to extend diplomatic recognition. BY
signing non-aggression pacts, and
pacts regarding the exact definitions
of aggressor, proposed by the Soviet
Government to all neighbors of the
U.S.SR, they recognized her policy
of peace.
THE U.S.S.R., as defender of the
cause of peace, earned the trust not
only Of the masses of the whole
world, but compelled all who we're
menaced by imperialist aggression
to look towards the first state of
workers and peasants

MOSCOW, May 31.-Karl Radek,
outstanding Soviet journalist, in a
special article entitled Diabetes,
History, and the League of Nations, f"
published in the Soviet press, en-
phasizes number of cardinal
changes which have occurred in the
League of Nations recently.
President Wilson," declares Ra-
dek, put forward the idea of the
League of Nations as means of
appeasing the masses of the entire
world who we're undergoing the
greatest discomfort, as a means
against revolution. Other imperial
list powers agreed to create the
League of Nations because they saw
therein an institution which not
only should counterfeit the revolu-
tionary frame of mind by pacifist
illusions, but should become an or
ganization of international capital
for fighting the proletarian revo-
luton in Russia.
However, international reaction
carried out intervention against the
proletarian revolution in Russia be-
fore the League of Nations was Gre
ated to organize intervention, and

Call For Textile Strike

TiHE need for strike faces all the workers
L in the textile industry.
The original N.R.A. code fixed wage
cutting standards, and terrible speed-up.
Now the original starvation SIP wage is
being slashed to &c. in fact through the
latest General Johnson order cutting pro-
duction by IS per cent. When the countless wage
cutting tricks Of the employers dragging down even
the original sl2 level are taken into consideration
the new wage level in textiles is seen to be down
to absolute cOoie levels.
The NR.A. has brought stark misery to the
textile workers Strike must be the answer
But in order to be successful the textile workers
must fight not only the employers, but the A. F.
Of L. leaders, Mcmahon, German, etc. 1t was
these A. F. Of L. leaders who fastened the cotton
code on the workers in the first place. 1t was
these A F. of L. leaders who fought bitterly against
the proposed code of the National Textile Workers
Union, calling for minimums of so cents an hour,
80 hours a week. and 20 weeks guaranteed work,
equal wages for North and South, reduction Of
the maddening spesd-up, etc.
These A. F. of L. leaders, sensing the strike
mood Of the textile workers, are beginning to talk
strike. But only in order to trick the workers
through arbitration" only in order to break the
strike if they cannot stop it. What happened in
the Amoskeag mills and in the South shows what
to expect from the A. F. of L. leadership
To win, the textile workers should elect their
own strike committees all negotiations to be placed
solely in the hands of the reliable, rank and file
workers elected by the strikers. Militant picketing
mobilization of the unemployed together with the
employed, and the bringing in of the women and
children into the pcketing must be arranged for
We call upon the Party organizations to get
on the Job at once in all the textile areas Pre-
pare the groundwork for strike. There is no time
to be lost. Now is the time to strike.

"National Unity"

AT GETTYSBURG, yesterday, Roosevelt
"A sounded the theme song which seems
to be obsessing the high and mighty rulers
of the leading capitalist countries of the
earth-the theme-song of national unity"
At the present moment Hitler is sing
ing it with especial vigor.
1t is unfortunate for Roosevelts Gettysburg Ad-
dress that his proclamation of national unity" was
interrupted by the news of approaching national
strikes in textile and steel mills
And we wonder if Roosevelt at Gettysburg
could catch any of the dying sounds of the ex-
ploding gas bombs and rifle fire in the streets
of Toledo and Minneapolis?
1t is the basic fraud of every capitalist govern
ment that it tries to appear before the working
masses as government in their interest as their
government, as government of the entire nation
and not as it really is the government of the rich
est capitalists the banks stock exchanges and in
dustrial monopoies
What unity there be between the employer
and those whom he exploits and robs in the fac
tories? What unity there be between the
bankers, the mortgage holders and the ruined
impoverished farmers groaning under the yoke
OF debt slavery? What unity can there be be-
tween the lynch masters and the oppressed Negro
people?
The government is painted by Roosevelt as the
government IN which all have stake" But he
does this only to hide the fact that the govern
ment is carrying out the orders of the Wall Street
bilonaires. He tells the workers that the govern
ment is their" government only that he may de-
mobilize, confuse the struggles of workers against
their exploiters.
In the last analysis the national unity" of the
government rests upon naked, military force the
Army and Navy upon bayonets and machine guns
In the name of national defense" and "patri-
otlsm,' the sons of the working class are drawn
INTO these armed forces. But it is to defend Wall
Street investments Wall Street factories and profits
that they fight, forced to shoot down their own
class brothers in Toledo as well as on the Yangtze
River in China.
This talk of national unity now is sinister with
the preparations for imperialist war It is ALWAYS
IN the name of national unity" that the ruling
class sends the of the working class to
slaughter.
There is no national unity Between master
and slave there can be unity, no bond of soli-
dar1ty There can only be class struggle for the
overthrow of the yoke of capitalist wage slavery
and oppression.

RooSeuelt's Allies in
Alabama

A NEWS dispatch from Alabama, swiftly
IA deleted from the later editions of the
capitalist press, reveals that the White
Legion, notorious for its Fascist brutality
in the Birmingham strike, is now lobbying
the legislature for two Bills that will "out-
law Communism" and close the Alabama
courts to Outside lawyers"
The meaning of this movement Of what is de-
scribed in the Southern press as "a rechristened
Ku Klux Khan" is unmistakeable
1t is the beginning Of another drive to crush out
every vestige of struggle of the Negro and white
workers against the Alabama plantation and fac
tory masters
1t is aimed at snothering the Herndon and
Scottsboro cases in a ring of silence, at stamping
the oppressed Negro masses, and the white workers.
deeper into subsection by policy of ruthless soa-
ton.
1t is therefore of interest to know who this
White Legion is. There can be no question that
it is linked up with the dominating political
machine of the State, the Democratic Party This
is Roosevelt's party. Even more it is the section
of his party from which he draws his greatest
support.
The lynch rule of the South, the terrorism
against the Birmingham strikers, the frame-up of
Herndon and the Scottsboro boys, are all carried
out directly by RooSevelt's political machine, by
his closest associates and supporters.
The White Legion the sinister Ku Klux Khan,
all this is Of RooSevelt's own gang
The Negro reformists of the NAA.CP call upon
the Negro masses to follow Roosevelt as their
dehverers. They call upon the head OF the lynch
system to protect them from lynching!
The fight against Southern terror rule, against
jim Grow oppression, against lynching is a fight
against Roosevelt. He is the conscious leader and
upholder of the whole lynch system

France naturally defends the in
