the American working class unless
it reached out to the million-fold
American masses and gave consist
ent everyday guidance In their
struggles in all political questions.
Yes, it would be tremendously hard
to establish and maintain such
big enterprise. But couldn't we see
that the very demand upon the
masses for their support of such
paper would be itself q political
matter OF Importance?
7 ENNIS advice on our problems,
If it did not convince all Of the
comrades, at least, paralyzed their
resistance. We came home deter
mined to put through the program.
And then came the raid and ar
rest of practically the entire lead
ership in the Summer OF 1922, by
which Harry Daugherty (Attorney
GeneraD thought to destroy forever
the Communist Party. Such raids
and arrests are always a serious
matter. But a Communist Party
always makes use of whatever ma
terial is at hand, even if it be
brickbats thrown at our heads. And
the Party decided to make the ar
rest OF the Party leadership the
occasion for a struggle to bring the
Party out of the underground"
existence-to win for itself legal
existence!
Why mention all of this now?
Because the arrest Of almost the
entire party leadership in 1922, or
rather our fight in defense, played
big part in the foundation of the
Daily Worker! In the first meet
ing of those members of the Cen
trail Committee who had escaped
arrest, we resolved to transform the
attack into a counter-o offensive With
the definite objective OF getting the
Party out of its state of illegality.
And as one Of the means to do
this, we decided Il think it was at
the second meeting) to launch the
campaign for the founding of the
daily English-language paper of

LENIN ON POLITICAL
EDUCATION

what does political education
mean? Is 1t sufficient to confine
oneself to the propaganda Of the
working class hostility to auto
cracy? OF course not. 1t is not
enough to explain to the workers
that they are politically oppressed
(any more than it was to explain
to them that their interests were
antagonistic to the interests of
the employers). Advantage must
be taken Of every concrete ex-
ample Of this oppression for the
purpose Of agitation Tin the same
way as we began to use concrete
examples Of economic oppression
for the purpose of agitation). And
inasinuch as political oppression
affects all sorts Of classes in So
ciety, inasmuch rs it nnanifests
itself in various spheres Of life
and activity, In industrial life,
civic life, in personal and family
life, in religious life, scientific life,
ETC., etc, is IL not evident that
we shall not be fulfilling our task
of developing the political con-
seriousness of the workers if we do
not undertake the organization Of
the political exposure of autocracy
in all its aspects? In order to
agitate over concrete examples of
oppression, these examples must
be exposed in the same way as 1t
was necessary to expose factory
evils in order to carry on economic
agitation" Nenin-"What Is to
be Done" p. 81, International

STAIN ON WORKERS
CORRESPONDENCE

an THE first anniversary of the
" Farmers Gazette" in the So
Wet Union, on Nov. 90, 1924, Joseph
Stain, Secretary Of the Communist
Party Of the Soviet Union, in his
greetings to the paper, said:
Farmers Gazette, guard your
farmer correspondents as the apple
of your eye. This is your army.
Bind yourself more strongly with
the most honest and most conscious
of the farmers, particularly with
those who formerly were in the Red
Army. This is your mainstay. Plant
the truth in the village; blow your
trumpet increasingly throughout the
countryside; blow your trumpet
throughout the entire world an
nouncing that the emancipation Of
the farmers is unthinkable without
a brotherly union with the workers;
that the victory of labor over CAPT
tai is impossible without the farm
ers, under the leadpvshin of the
workers -

Younger workers, not familiar
with the history Of the Party should
be reminded that, on the basis of
the red scare" and arrests in the

call to all workers to defend the

to the first serious trade-union

The collection of funds for the
establishment Of the Daily Worker
went hand in hand with this, and

the conditions OF that after-war

By January, 1924, the collections,

DROUGHT CATTLE
PACKING SPEEDED
U. S. to Build Own Plants to
Double Capacity Within
80 Days.
By the Associated Press.


The Government win have dou-
bled within 30 days its facilities for
processing cattle purchased from the
drought stricken areas.
Lawrence westbrook. assistant Fed
eral relief administrator. said yes
terday the Surplus Relief Corporation,
in addition to using privately owned
packing plants, was. leasing other
available canneries formerly used for
processing vegetables, and likewise
was building its own small, mex
pensive plants. At least 100 Of the
latter already are in operation.
Westhrook's disclosure that the ad-
ministration is going TO broaden It's
program of processing drought cattle
by 100 per cent was regarded as
definite evidence that purchases would
be stepped up all along the line and
that the situation was viewed officially
as becoming more serious.
He said Texas still was leading all
States in processing beef for the
needy, adding:
They are canning 2.500 head a
day down there now and. Will be
handling more later"
The processing plants the Govern
ment is building will be dismantled
when the drought emergency is over
and removed to rural rehabilitation
communities the Relief Administra-
tion is organizing The first such
experiment completed in the coun-
try, that near Woodville. Tex, will
get one of the plants, Westbrook said.
Complaints from private interests
that the Government is unfairly going
into competition with packing COM
panies were termed absolutely un-
tenable" by Westbrook.
1T should be thoroughly under
Stood" he said, that the Government
is Using every available private can
ming plant and that we never under
took to go temporarily into the busi-
ness ourselves until private companies
proved unable to handle the load"
1T is obvious that we. must avoid
the thought of congestion in markets
that has heretofore somewhat ham,
pered the program. After all. cattle
must not be permitted to starve when
it can be avoided"
