The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-09-15

we DeueVe JnaJ every increase IN
working class unity favors the de-
velopment of a class conscious pro-
letariat, able to defend itself and
prevent fascism. We are confident
Of what will be the verdict of the
workers on larger questions Of pro-
gram once they get into action in
struggle for their immediate de-
mands. Every proposal towards
achieving united action of the
workers can in this sense be called
'maneuvers,' but not in the false,
narrow sense implying trickery,
which you impute to us, but in the
sense of serious, proietarian
strategy directed against the COM
mon enemy, capitalism, worked out
by agreement between the two
parties. We make no maneuvers to
perpetuate divisions among the
working class. Our goal is to over
come the existing split in the work
ing class.
Greet Local United Actions
"The final paragraph in your let
ter opens up possibilities of local
united actions, particularly in de-
tense of workers rights. We will
do everything possible to stimulate
such local actions. We point to the
successes already being achieved in
this respect, for example, the united
front of Socialist and Communist
Parties in New Orleans and the
splendid maneuver which they
jointly carried out by leading a
mass demonstration of 5000 work.
erS in between the armed camps Of
the two Democratic Party factions
with the demand that the money
being spent on corrupt factional
warfare should be diverted to I'M
employment relief. Such local ac-
lions in all spheres are springlng
up everywhere. We have encour-
aged and will continue to encour-
age them by all possible means.
THE Socialist Party has spoken
not a little in recent times about
the necessity to fight against fas-
cism and war. If these words are
not to remain empty phrases, we
ask you openly and frankly, is it not
necessary to move boldly and de-
cisively toward uniting all forces of
the revolutionary working class?
We ask you, is not this the only
way to reach the bread circles of
the suffering farmers and middle
classes, who are only driven away
from the working class by the pol
icy of collaboration with the rep
resentatives of capitalism. The
united front between the Socialist
and Communist Parties will enor-
mously extend the fighting capacity
of the working class. A united
front will rouse millions Of hitherto
passive workers, and the exploited
masses generally will follow them
with new hope and a new enthu-
siasm, new courage to fight
against the common enemy.
Time for Action, Not Pondering
"There is not long time to OBJ
serve and ponder about this prob
tim. The deepening crisis of capt.
talism is rousing all the black re-
dictionary forces of fascism all
around us every day. The impe-
rialist antagonisms are rushing the
whole world toward a new mass
slaughter. Fascism can be defeated.
war can be prevented, the condi-
tons of the life of the toiling
masses can be protected only by a
fighting united action of the two
parties Of the most advanced sec
tons Of the working class, drawing
the broad masses into the struggle
behind them.
1--WE appeal to the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Social
list Party, and to their members
and followers: End all hesitation
and evasion, come together with
us upon an agreed program of
the NEST immediate needs. Fight
unitedly and thus march forward
toward victory.
"Fraternally yours,
