The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-06-26

We are printing today the direc-
tives for July as issued by Dis
trict 6, as an example TO be followed
BY all Districts. It is the duty Of
the Communist Party to revive the
revolutionary traditions Of this
American holiday, trsnslating it
into present day conditions. Every
District and Section should work
out similar plans to popularize the
revolutionary objectives of the
Communist Party. and the slogan
of Soviet Power"
ION July 4, the bourgeoisie will
let loose a flood of chauvinistic pro-
paganda in a special effort to mobi-
lie the masses behind its program
of hunger and war. The revolu-
tionary traditions of July 4, 1776
have long been forgotten by the i'm
perialist bourgeoisie, which brands
the revolutionary way out of the
crisis as American" 1t is the
task of the Communists to expose
this Justification OF American his
tory and to use the occasion Of July
4 to popularize the revolutionary
way cut and the slogan Of Soviet
Power.
LAS the Manifesto of the Sth Ma
tional Convention of our Party
states To-day the only party that
carried forward the revolutionary
traditions of 1776 and 1861, under
the present day conditions and re-
lationship of classes is the Commu-
mist Party Today, only the Com
munist Party finds it politically ex-
pedient and necessary to remind
the American working masses of
how, in a previous crisis, the way
out was found by the path Of revo-
luton. Today only the Communist
Party brings sharply forward and
applies to the problems of today
that old basic document 'Ameri-
canisn, the Declaration of indie
pendence.
Applying the Declaration of In
dependence to present-day condi-
tionS, the Communist Party points
out that never was there such a
mass Of people so completely de-
prived Of all semblance Of the right
to life. liberty and pursuit of hap
piness.' Never were these such de-
structive effects upon these rights
by any form Of government. as those
exerted today by the existing form
Of government in the United States.
Never have the exploited masses
suffered such q long train of abuses
CT been so reduced under absolute
deSpotsim as today under capitalist
rule. The principle which must
provide the foundation of the new
government" mentioned in the De-
clsration of Independence is. in
1884, the principle of the dictator
ship Of the proletariat; the new
form in the form of the workers
and farmers councils-the Soviet
Power. The new guards for their
future security" which the workers
must establish. are the installing of
the working class in every position
Of power. and the dissolution of
every institution of capitalist class
rule"
In this connection it is necessary
to overcome the shortcomings that
were manifested in our May first
demonstrations with regard to the
capitalization of the revolutionary
way out of the crisis. The central
committee in reviewing the lessons
OF May Day pointed out that in the
united front literature (for May
Day. the slogans and agitation were
limited to the immediate demands,
while the Party had little if any
material printed in which the revo-
lutionsry detectives and slogans of
the Party were brought forward. es-
pecially in connection with the fight
for Soviet Power" lessons of May
Day. June Communist.
The principal slogan of ell Com
mupist Parties today is the slogan
for Soviet Power, but so far we have
not learned how to make this. a
