NEW YORK-RetaiI sales for

The drop in retail buying is a

Cultural Society held last week in
Swiss Hall, the secretary, Mr.. Con
zalez, told the $50 members present
that he had been requested to an
nounce that all those desiring to
return to Mexico would be provided

he thought that it would be a good
thing for the unemployed members
land they are nearly all unem-
ployed if they would take advan-
tage of this offer.
If the plans of Maj. E. o. Braught,
chairman of the Ohio Relief Com
mission, are successful, 1000 Mexican
workers, and thousands of other
foreign-b born workers will leave
Ohio voluntarily" This will save
the Ohio Relief Commission 5000 900
monthly. The great majority of the
Mexican workers are in Northwest
ern Ohio.
Mr.. Gonzalez says that it would
be good thing" and of course is
purely voluntary" In 1881 when
$4,000 we're deported to Mexico; the
local press carried stories at that
time saying that when they arrived
in Mexico, they were forced to eat
grass to keep from starving.
Those who are on relief have been
told by the representatives of the
relief commission that if they do
not accept this offer that they will
be refused relief.
These workers we're brought here
by the railroad companies and sugar
beet companies to sweat out profits
for the bosses. They and their wives
and children toiled long hours in
the beet fields and on the railroads.
Now they are no longer needed, they
are told to go back and face star

Shows That Leaders
Defy Open Wishes
of Rank and File

The following document, a let
ter of the Executive Committee
of the Communist International
to the British Independent Labor
Party, is not only of historic i'm
portance, but of peculiar impor-
lance at the present time. 1t sums
up the negotiations which have
been going on between the LIP.
and the Comintern since last year
regarding the possibility of work
ing out some form of eo-Opera-
ton between the two.
The leadership of the LIP,
headed by Fenner Brockway, rep
resents a political tendency that
Is not confined to England. In
the United States it is represented
in the activities of Music, and his

Party. 1t is significant that

Is similar in one respect-to keep
the masses from moving toward
the Communist Party and the
Communist International.
The exchange of letters between
the LIP. and the E.C.CI. grew
out of the decision of the Derby
Conference of the LIP. held
last year, at which the pres
sure Of the LIP. rank and
file forced the LIP. leadership to
make overtures to the Comintern
for utilization or cooperation. This
action met with strong opposition

ingly valuable for its crystal clear
political analysis Of the Brock

plication by the E.C.CI. does not
depend upon the recognition of the
81 conditions by this Party. but
upon whether the party in ques-
ton is workers party that really
sympathizeS with Communism. If
the E,C.CI became convinced of
this and found that the utilization
of such party to the C. I. in
sympathizing capacity would be eX-
pedient, it would be able to parti-
cipate in all the Congresses Of the
c. l. and meetings of the Execu-
tive Committee through its dele
gates, with a consultative vote, to
present its proposals and suggestions
and to express its opinions. Such
q party is not bound by the discip-
line established by the statues of
the C. I. for its Sections, but it has
to prove in practice that it is as
sisting the work of the Communist
International.
Necessary Conditions
The Party connot be regarded as
sympathizing with Communism un-
less it carries on an irreconcilable
struggle against the bourgeoisie and
for this purpose participates in the
organization and development of the
united front of the workers to-
gether with the Communist Party
on the basis of a mutually agreed
platform Of the class struggle de-
mands.
A party cannot be regarded as
sympathizing with Communism
unless it fights against the treach-
erous social democracy, against the
Second International and the re-
formist leaders of the trade unions
and comes out decisively against all
attempts to create new interna-
tionals.
A party cannot be regarded as
sympathizing with Communism
unless it sympathizes with the
slogan Of Soviet power and supports
the Soviet Union.
Without these political perequi-
sites the basis for the utilization of
a party to the c. I. as a sympathiz-
ing party would be lacking.
We, Of course do not doubt that
