The government, in fact is show
ing q tendency TO conciliate certain
reactionary Catholic elements at
this crucial period by taking action
only against absent prelates. Thus,
in order to Dust Archbishop Diaz, an

it was necessary for the Attorney
General, Portes Gil. to fly to Presi-
dent Rodriguez in Lower California

According to certain church
correspondence published today,
Catholic officials are bitterly crit

cists. the Camisss Dorsdos, and the
church has not been developing

astical hierarchy from attack.

declares that it will be satisfied only
when all churches have been con-

which class you are speaking for
For Mr.. Hearst and his gang of
blood-sucking exploiters, it would
be a terrible thing. 1t would end
their grip over American labor. 1t
would destroy their power to wiring
millions out of the sweat and blood
of the American workers. It would
end their rule of hunger and mass
murder. But for the workers 1t
would be emancipation, freedom,
power to destroy their enemies and
build up new order OF life without
unemployment, without starvation,
without lynchings, without imper-
ialist war

An Anti-Labor Agency

most vicious anti-labor, anti-union
propaganda agency in the United
States, well realizes the force Of

Communist Party for the ending

Hearst keeps singing the refrain

Communist Party.

same pamphlet, mas given q devel-
opment and expansion of democracy
hitherto unprecedented in the
world, precisely for the vast major
ity of the population, for the ex-
plotted and for the toilers."
Hearst, of course, does not quote
Lenin on these facts, because it is
not his aim to educate the masses
in MarXism-Leninism, the science
of the revolutionary workers f1oht-
ing to destroy capitalism and to set
up workers rule.
Hearst is concerned only with
trying to smash the most advanced
forces Of the workers fighting
against the misery and exploitation
of capitalism, and hence does not
quote what Lenin said about the
dictatorship of the proletariat and
how it functions when it has de-
stroyed capitalist rule.
Lenin Defines Soviets
We think, however. that it is more
interesting, more helpful to the
present struggles of the American
workers to read just what Lenin
did say about the dictatorship OF
the proletsriat and Soviet power,
and how it would smash the lying
propaganda and slave rule OF the

Distorted Lenin
1t will be seen how the Hearst
press distorted Lenin, by taking the

Party is fighting for in the United

Lenin talks when he refers to the
proletarian dictatorship, is the VIC

they defeat their exploiters, and set

the domination OF the big trusts,

" has Just discovered Lenin.
Hearts, yellow, poison spewing

writings of the great leader of the
world revolutionary proletariat. The
aim of Hearst, of course, is not to
acquaint the readers of his prosti-
tute sheets with what Lenin actually
said. Anything-lies, distortions,
slander-are grist to Hearst's red
batting mill.
For the past few weeks, especially.
the Hearst press has been printing
a series of articles against Commu-
nism. Most OF them are written by
Richard Washburn Child, former U.
s. Ambassador to Fascist Italy.
where the well-paid gentleman
seems to have learned a lot about
how to whip up a lynch frenzy
against militant and revolutionary
workers. Child's chief function for
Hearst now is to work up fascist
pogroms against the most militant
workers in the American labor
movement.
This is done under the disguise
of Hearst posing as a friend of
labor"
Every one of Mr.. Chid's articles
in the Hearst press, as well as every
editorial, is headed by what Hearst
tries to palm off as a quotation
from Lenin.
Here is the quotation given in all
OF Hearst's recent red batting trash,
as supposedly having been written
by Lenin in Volume XVIII, page
36l. of his complete works:
The dictatorship Of the prolc-
tariat is nothing else than power
based upon force and limited by
nothing-by no kind of law and by
absolutely no rule"
Is Fabrication
Now you can search all of Volume
XVIII Of Lenin's works until you
are blue in the face and will find
no such quotation. This volume
deals with The Imperialist War"

English COR any other edition. of

tstion which the Hearst press palms
off as Lenin's words OF what Com

Election Returns
Should Be Compared
With Past Results

All comrades sending election
return material are requested to
send in four figures wherever
possible: the detailed Commu-
mist vote this year as compared
with the previous vote, the de-
tailed Socialist vote this year as
compared with the previous vote,
and the total Communist vote
for the state or county.
These figures will permit an
analysis of the returns. Single
figures without comparative data
make it difficult to judge the
trend of the election returns.
