friend of President Roosevelt paid to
the Goodwill Industries plant in Bost

such an impression on the President

Mass Basis for Common Struggle Often Neglected
in Dealing With Individuals

in which the writer is, to be able
to fully judge events going on
throughout the entire Party and
country nevertheless I have certain
impressions and beliefs which l be-
lieve it relevant to express during
this discussion period.
The United Front tactic is linked
up with the entire struggle of the
Party to break down It's isolation
from the working masses, to win
the majority of the working class.
From now until the revolution this
tactic will be one Of the chief
weapons to achieve our goal. In
order to be successful in its appli-
cation We must raise the proper
slogans, which will answer the
needs of the working masses,
around which it will be possible to
unite non-revolutionary workers in
a common fight OF necessity these
slogans cannot be the general po-
litical aims of the G. P. U. S. A.,
which are not yet the aims of the
broad masses in this country. They
must be the chief practical aims
of the present class struggle"
(KuuSinen. In the Appeal of the
E. G. c. I. it was pointed out that:
the negotiations between the par
ties concluding such an agreement
must be based on the most eIe-
mentary prerequisites for the COM
mon fight" my emphasis The
points proposed as basis for
agreement by the e. @. c. I. fell
In two categories, both of them very
simple and elementary demands.
First the carrying on Of defensive
actions against the attacks of Fas-
cism and reaction on the workers
organizations, and secondly, organ
ling protest, strikes, demonstra-
tons against wage reductions,
worsening of conditions, and cut
ting of unemployment benefit.
Around such demands it is possible
to rally wide sections of workers not
yet ready to support and even op-
posed to the general aims of the
Communist Party.
UOW was this applied In the
IL U. S. A? The proposal for
United Action issued by the Central
Committee was sent and addressed
not solely to the Socialist Party,
but also to the National Commit
tees of the A. F. of L., C. P. L. A.,

Trade Unions and working class or

CARNATIONS, national and local, Ne
gro and white" Difficulties were
created right from the start by the
broad character of the appeal, max
ing no distinction in the demands
placed to the A. F. of L. and to an
organization which differs so radi-
cally from that body as the T. U.
.. l.. There is difference also
in the kind of demands we will
propose as a basis for united front
to a political party such as the
Socialist Party, and to trade
union organization, such as the
A. F. Of L.
Instead Of several simple ele-
mentary demands proposed as a
basis for united action, there we're
fully $3.50 demands raised, run
ming the ganut of all immediate
and some not so immediate de-
mands. If we make proposals for
a United Front to the A. F. of l..
leadership then our demands, if we
desire to be taken sincerely by the
workers, must be of such a char
acter that it will be difficult for the
A. F. of L. officials to refuse. Re-
fusal on their part would expose
their true role to the working
masses. To the A. F. of L. some
elementary proposals, including a
fight against wage-cuts, against
forced labor, for Unemployment In
surance and similar demands
should have been made. Around
such demands, in the event of a re-
fusal of the A. F. of L. executive,

Chicago Workers
Warned Not Vote
In April Primaries
By Not Voting Can Sign
Petition of Workers
Candidates

DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau
CHICAGO.-A call to all workers
to abstain from voting in the Chi
cago city primary elections April 10
has been issued by the Communist
Party of this district. BY voting in
the primaries, the call points out,
workers deprive themselves of the
right to sign petition to place the
candidates of the Communist Party
on the ballot in the November cleo
tions.
A change in the election laws of
Illinois, making it more difficult to
place workers candidates on the
ballot, was also pointed out.
''The District Committee of the
Communist Party" reads the call
to all workers and working class
organizations, wishes to ask you
at this time to abstain from voting
in the primaries on April 10. These
primaries decide only which of
the capitalist candidates of the
respective capitalist parties, the
Republican and Remocratic, should
be placed on the ballot in the final
elections in November BY voting

c. P. Candidate
Loses by | Vote

MARKHAM, Minn.-In this little
farming community, the Communist
Party candidate for township SUI
pervisor was defeated by one vote
in the elections held March 10.
The vote was 80 for Henry Maxi,
running on the Communist Party
ticket and 83 for the winner. There
were only two candidates, the local
politicians and reactionaries join
ing hands to fight the Communist
Party.
The results show that the farmers
look to the Communist Party as
their leader. This is a result of the
many and determined struggles for
relief and the other demands of
the farmers which have been waged
here under the leadership of the
Communists. Two years ago, the
Communist Party candidate for SUI
pervisor received only % votes.

BY HARRY YARIS

THE present pre-convention dis
l cuSsion period marks the passing
of one year since the memorable
United Front Appeal issued by the
Executive Committee of the Com
intern last March. During this time
our Party has had innumerable ex-
periences in the policy of the United
Front. 1t is appropriate at this
time, to examine the results of the
application of the E.C,CI. Appeal
in the U.S.A., to estimate our
achievements, to expose our short
comings and mistakes, and to draw
some lessons necessary for future
struggle.
The conditions making necessary
the setting up of the United Front
struggle as pointed out by the E. C
G. I. are still present today in an
even more aggravated form. Fas-
cism, (which is Enchanting all the
forces of world reaction against the
working class of Germany" (Appeal
of E. c. G. l., Daily Worker, March
10, 1889 is today spreading to all
capitalist countries, taking it's toll
of working class lives and leaders.
In the United States, the growing
fascist trends in the government,
the growth of fascist and semi
fascist moods and organizations,
make more necessary than ever be-
fore the blishment of a united
working class front in the struggle
against Fascism, in defense of liv-
ing standards and working class or
carnations.
That our Party has had certain
successes during this period IN the
application of the United Front
tactic, cannot be denied, but that
we hav' not realized broad united
front between the Communist and
Socialist workers, between the revo-
lutionsry vanguard and the work
ers in the reformist organizations,
Is sell evident. The chief reason
for this remains as before-the
policy of these reformist and social
fascit organizations, their policy
of class collaboration with the
boulgeoisie," which leads them to
OPP ,se the united working class
fro 1t.
However, certain shortcomings
aid mistakes of our Party have
{ attributed to this.
1t is difficult, of course. from a
city so far removed from the center
Of the Party and its life. as the one

result. if the movement is not raised
at least one notch higher, then we
have not moved forward. One bad
effect that may result from such
United Fronts is the building UP
of these people into prominence
and allowing illusions about them
to flourish. This is a step back
ward.
Often in our endeavors to win
the reforrnist masses for united &C
ton we have concentrated our eff
forts towards separating these from
their leaders. 1t is insufficient to
merely point out the social fascist
character of the leaders. This has
been done and should be continued.
We must further our criticism
showing the role Of the very or
ganization itself-pointing ON to
the workers that the character and
program of the organizations are
social fascist. In exposing the role
Of the leaders we must also show
how the very ideas and theories Of
the organization are wrong and
anti-working class. Individual and
even groups of rank and filers may
agree with our characterization of
the social fascist leaders, but still
remain separated from us by the
theology of the social fascist organi-
5ation-the loyalty to the organiza-
ton being stronger than the loyalty
to the leaders.
We should carry on q broad edit
4 cation around those questions
which separate the Communist
from the Socialist Party and other
organizations. Through convincing
the worker on the social fascist
character of his organization, we
make a step further toward working
class unity. The worker must be
called upon to draw the necessary
conclusions from such beliefs.
One difficulty in reaching the
workers under the influence Of
social fascism is a feeling of "dis-
trust" on the part of these workers
towards Communists. This is duC
in part to past experiences, mis-
takes in approach made by somt
Communist, but mainly to the in
fluence of social fascist leaders anc
ideas which aim to develop thi.
"distrust' in order to keep TIT
workers divided. In some places
this feeling is so deep that it mus

united action and struggles are pos
sible. ~.
