THESE VIZ iJtings Of Comrade
Hathaway are model of Com
munist journalism. AS such they
have a more than passing value,
more than their great value in the
present strike. They are valuable
because they are model for all
our agitation and propaganda in
all our daily fights against the
treachery Of refOrmism.
This pamphlet reveals the
main link which We must seize
in winning the masses for the
path of revolutionary struggle
the driving home Of the idea that
it is the Communist Party, pre-
cisely because il is a revolution
airy party, which is the most
loyal. and abIest defender CT the
day to day interests of the work.
ers, their wages, their working
conditions their health and well
fare.
In the most practical way, Hath
away answers the SANDER the Red
Scare" DOGGY and the ISLANDERS Of
the U. T w. officials that the Com
munists are not interested in win
ming the demands Of the workers,
but are interested only in using
the strike for their own purposes,
for the purpose Of Revolution
Hathaway shows that the Commu-
mist Party fights for one basic thing
in the present strike, namely that
those policies are pursued in the
strike that will guarantee to the
workers better wages and an end
to the stretch-out, the demands
specified in the recent U. T. w.
convention.
A single copy Of Hathaways
pamphlet placed by a Communist
in the hands Of a militant worker
on the picket line has possibilities
Of influencing scores of workers
onto the correct path of struggle
in the fight against reformist
treachery.
And if hundreds of thousands Of
copies Of Hathaway's pamphlet are
placed in the hands Of textile pick
cts by well-organized distribution
in the strike areas, then we will be
striking powerful blows against the
U.TW. officials like German who
are leading the strike only that
they can protect the basic inter-
ests Of the employers and restrain
the workers from recognizing the
class character of their struggles
against the employers and their
capitalist government.
Here is a clean, powerful weapon.
1t contains an excellent preface by
Comrade Bittelman One copy
costs two cents. Let lis place it
into the hands of the striking tex
tile workers. The excellence Of the
pamphlet is a real challenge to the
initiative of the Party units upon
whom rests the immediate respon-
sibility for distributing it.

cause they are compelled by the
pressure Of the crisis to shout with
the unemployed millions: All war
funds to the unemployed!
CLEARLY the fight against impe-
v rialist war is sew n-day
week task to be constantly exposed
as an inevitable, not unthinkable
product Of capitalist society For
capitalism" says Lenin in his $50
cialism and War has now,
in its imperialist stage, become the
great oppressor Of nations. It
has developed the productive forces
to such an extent that humanity
must either pass over to Socialism,
or for years, nay, for decades, wit
ness armed conflicts of the great
nations for an artificial mainte-
nance of capitalism by means Of
colonies, monopolies, privileges and
all sorts of national oppression"
Systematic presentation of such
MarXist theories will help arouse
the workers to the dynamics of i'm
perialist war and the futility Of
gentlemanly investigations. There
is no lack of excellent pamphlets
which present the Marxist feminist
analysis of the war danger. A few
taken at random from Internal
tional Publishers list alone, for ex-
ample, would include such classics
as Lenin's Imperialism. the High
est Stage of Capitalism; THE
War and the Second International"
THE Foundations of the Commu-
mist International" "A Letter to
American Workers; Donald Cam
erons Poison Gas and the Com
ing War; Samuel Weinman's "Ha-
vail; Luis Monies Bananas" all
in the International Pamphlets Sc
ries. More valuable than superb
cial exposures of arms interests is
the chapter on the War Danger in
the Labor Fact Book, II. prepared
by the Labor Research Association
and published by International.
This chapter not only exposes the
rise in arms purchases by every
capitalist government but traces
the bases for the drive for armed
conflict and presents the program
Of the American League Against
War and Fascism as fighting pro-
gram against imperialist slaughter.

Reviewed by
MILTON HOWARD

This pamphlet by the editor of
the Daily Worker, written during
the first week of the present tex
tile strike, constitutes an authori-
tative statement of the position OF
the Communists in the present
strike. It reveals a position exactly
opposite from that which the CAPT
talist press and the UT.W. officials
are trying to paint for the workers
The purpose of Hathawsy's pam
phlet is to prove to the textile
workers that the Communists are
the best defenders Of their day TO
Gay interests. their wages, their
fight against the stretch out
against the company union, and in
defense of the health and welfare
Of their families.
Further, Hathaway proves that it
is German and his officialdom, who
despite all their clustering talk, are
really faithless and untrustworthy
as leaders of any working class
fight against the employers be-
cause Of their fundamental support
Of capitalism.
Hathaway's pamphlet escapes
most Of the pitfalls which make
good deal Of our agitation and
propaganda still too highfalutin,'
too technical, too distant from the
immediate, hourly needs OF the
workers and their families.
Hathaway is not afraid to 20
down deep into the most trivial"
ideas, the little things" which are
too often ignored in our agitation
because We want to impress people
with our superiority.
He gives to every reader com
plete set of the most practical,
concrete and detailed instructions
as to how to act in the strike. He
shows them how to organize the
greatest strength of the workers to
win the definite demands for which
the textile workers are fighting
His arguments and 6irectives
leave nothing unsaid or assumed.
They not only argue against the
ideas spread by the Germans, but
they show the workers themselves
how to argue with others.
One can see the ideas in it, so
simply and reasonably expressed,
take fire as a picket reads them
aloud TO his fellow strikers on the
picket line.
Every one Of the arguments of
German against the Reds is torn
apart. showing the most backward
worker exactly what these ideas of
German & Co.. lead to as 1t con-
Germs the workers pay envelopes
and the welfare of his family.
