japanese Envoy Says His Land
Follows Wall Street Footsteps

CHICAGO, May 22.-Declaring
that the japanese militarists we're
using the American army men as
their guides, Hiroshi Saito, japanese
Ambassador to the United States,
in a speech here yesterday, declared
Japan's intention in the Far East
was comparable to Wall Streets in
Latin America.
Our military people" he asserted,
ARE not militarists in the sense of
those bent upon bloody aggression
and expansion. They are honorable
patriots, just like their American
brothers at arms"
Speaking Of Japan's motives OF
Remembering China, he said:
"Japan's motives in the Far
East are not different from the
motives of the United States in
this hemisphere. They consist in
bringing about a higher state of
security and order, of better
condition of affairs in the regions
in which we are vitality interested,
and of a conditions of affairs &C
ceptable to the rest of the world.
Japan is determined to fulfill her
responsibilities fully and success
fully as the principal stabiIizing
incluence in Eastern Asia"
In listing these honorable" mo-
tives, Saito forgot to detail the tens
of thousands of Chinese workers
and peasants slaughtered in the

propose a respectable" dictatorship
of the proletariat, without Commu-
nists They want to transform this
proletarian weapon of the revolu-
tionary overthrow of the bourgeoisie
and Socialist reconstruction of So
ciety into toothless and meaning
less phrase.
Not Revolution
Nor does the r. P. G. advocate the
proletarian revolution and t h e
forcible overthrow of capitalism. The
R. P. G. wants the workers to be-
lieve that it is possible to establish
the dictatorship of the proletariat
in the U. S. within the framework
of the capitalist system, without de-
stroying the capitalist state ma
chine, They expect to establish the
dictatorship of the proletariat in
America by taking possession of
the state machinery by the mandate
of the workers. This is the usual
Social-Democratic credo of getting
into office through parliamentary
majority and voting the capitalists
out OF power. With this exception:
Whereas they previously talked of
establishing a democracy" they
now speak of the dictatorship of
the proletariat," This is the whole
essence of their victorious revolu-
ton" Will American imperialism per-
nit a revolutionary party to take
possession Of the state machinery"
even if tbs party has the mandate
of the workers." without a revolu-
ton? The American workers have
seen by the German and Austrian
examples where this theory leads.
But they have also seen by the Rus
sian example that only the complete
destruction of the capitalist state
machine permits on its ashes the
building of their own proletarian
state. Only thus will capitalism be
defeated,
But the r. P c. will first make
the victorious revolution" and then
they will proceed by "arming the
workers" The r. P. c. believes that
the American workers will make the
victorious revolution" by means of
paper ballots, fire crackers and toy
pistols.
This is quite consistent with the
R. P. G. If it is possible for the
workers to take possession of the
state machinery" then why cannot
the R. P. c. go to the Secretary of
War and ask for the keys to the
arsenals to arm the workers. The
r. p G. is not yet certain whether
the defeated American capitalist
class will make desperate attempts
to restore its power through coun-

Still Holds Theories
Typical of Social
Fascism

the Second International has al
ready rid itself of reformisn. In
speaking of the German Socialist
Party, this same Kantorovitch says,
Not a trace is left of its reformism."
However, by the very experience of
their class struggle the workers know
that no matter what names Social
list Parties use, revolutionary So
cialism," workers democracy" or
even dictatorship of the prole-
tariat," Social-F ascism can lead our
class only to certain defeat and
disaster. That is why we must call
the r. P. c, and all other "lefts"
bent on Transforming the Socialist
Party and the Second International
by their true, real names. The
harder we fight against them, the
more convincingly we expose their
Revolutionary" phrases hiding their
treacherous deeds, the sooner will
social-democratic workers liberate
themselves from the theology of
their social-fascist leaders and take
the road of the proletarian revolu-
ton, the road of Soviet power, the
road of the Communist Party and
the Communist International. No
one has made our task in this sit
uation SO clear as Lenin when he
said:
"All groups, parties, leaders in
the labor movement, fully or par
TALLY standing on the viewpoint
of reformism, "centrism" and the
like, are inevitably placed by the
force Of the extreme sharpening
of the struggle either on the side
of the bourgeoisie, either amongst
the vacillating, or what is most
dangerous of ALL fall in amongst
those unreliable friends Of the
victorious prolctariat. Therefore,
the preparation Of the dictator
ship of the proletariat demands
intensification of the struggle
against reforfnist and "centrist"
tendencies but also a change of
the character of this struggle. The
struggle cannot be limited to clari-
fication of the wrongness of these
mistakes, put must expose I'M
deviatingly and mercilessly every
leader within the labor movement,
showing these tendencies, because
otherwise the proIetariat will be
unable to recognize with whom he

gle with the bcurgeoisie."

ter-revolution, hence they speak
only of possibility of counter
revolutionary resistance" Only
misleaders can talk in such man
ner. Only those who wish to de-
feat and prevent the victorious
revolution" can advise the Ameri-
can workers to plan their revolt
ton in the manner proposed by the
R. P. c.
S. P. and Glass Dictatorship
However, even if the S. P. con-
vention in Detroit should adopt the
r. P. c. proposals for the dictator
ship of the proletariat" (Which is
very unlikely, does any sincere
revolutionary believe that the S. P.
will be the political party of the
working class able to guide the
proletarist in establishing its class
dictatorship? Can the S. P, cor
rupted with bourgeois theology as it
is, permeated with opportunism,
and tied with numerous threads to
the chariot of American capitalism,
be "the leader within the system of
the dictatorship of the proletariat"
(Stalin)?
Even should the R. P. C. be placed
by the coming convention in the
leadership of the S. P, will they be
able to fill this function? At the
Second Congress of the Communist
International Lenin said:
"The usual socialist work Of
groups and parties recognizing the
dictatorship of the proletariat is
yet far from being sufficiently
subjected to that radical trans
formation, to that radical renova-
ton which is necessary for the
recognition of this work as Com
rnunist, fitting the tasks on the
eve of the proletarIan dictator
ship"
THE second important question is,
what are the organs of the prole-
tartan state power? The r. P. c.
says that the new type of state"
will be based on workers councils,
historically suited to serve as the
organs of liberation" The R. P. c.
does not explain how these councils
will be made up, nor how they will
function
However, we want to ask, why
only workers councils? How about
the rest of the toiling population,
the poor farmers, the armed forces,
and all the exploited masses gener-
ely? They. too, must be repre-
sented in the organs of the new
proletarian state. The proletariat
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-23

alone without these allies cannot
overthrow the bourgeoisie. Why
does not the r. P. G. propose the
setting up of Soviets as the organs
of the proletarian state authority?
Soviets are not peculiar to Russia
Soviets are already established in a
great part of China. Workers OF
many other countries have made
attempts to establish Soviets. Only
recently the workers, peasants and
soldiers of Chile and Cuba tried to
establish Soviets.
1t is precisely the Soviet form
of power that makes possible for
the most advanced class, the
prOletariat, to exercise its guild
ance over all the exploited and
oppressed masses. 1t is through
the Soviets that the political ac-
tivity and initiative of the broad
masses is developed and given full
expression. It is only through So
viets that every worker learns to
take real part in government.
The Soviets are the most direct
organizations of the masses and
therefore the most democratic,
involving the broadest possible
strata of toiling masses in the
management of public affairs and
thereby preparing the ground for
the gradual dying out of the
state. Such functions workers
councils can not accomplish.
Of course, it would not make a
basic difference if the R. P. c.
would advocate the establishment
of Soyiets instead of workers coun-
ellis, AS Comrade Stain points out:
"The problem is, first of all, in the
content of the work of the Soviets
the problem is the character of the
work of the Soviets, the problem is
this: WHO exactly is leading the
Observation-Disclosures or counter
revolutionaries?'
The r. P. c. talk of workers
councils" is only the mounting OF
senseless phrases, confusing and de-
stroying the perspectives of the
American proletariat toward estab-
fishing Soviet form of government
in America, where, under its lead
ership, the poor farmers, the armed
forces and all exploited, rising in
rebellion against capitalism, will be
enabled to carry through the prole-
tartan revolution to its successful
conclusion and to build Socialism.
THUS far we have dealt with the
fundamental programmatic dues-
tons raised in tbs R. P. G. program.

SHERWOOD COPS
GIRLS MEET
At CENTRAL

Sherwood Playground has only
been open since last spring, but
today its athletes are not thinking
about that interesting sidelight.
What occupies their thoughts
most is the Department of Play
grounds city championship they
won yesterday at Central Stadium
in a meet for girls.
Sherwood had to battle to gain
the 81 points which represented
it's margin over the second-place
Georgetown team, which had 80
points, but after the dust of
battle had cleared the battling
was worth it, just as all battles are
worth the rewards of a victory.
AS fate would have it, Sherwood
won the meet by a Frank Merri-
we'll" finish. It had 30 points as
the final event of the day arrived,
three more than Georgetown's q,
which is a close second in any
league.

gained to offset anything George

The race finally ended. Sher-
wood didn't win. Neither did
Georgetown. But both finished
in the money" Georgetown Sec
ond and Sherwood third. Janney
won, but it was so far down the
list of point scorers that it's tri-
umph didn't affect the leaders.
Sherwood won-only by one
point, but it was a victory just
the same. It gained this win
ming point by finishing third in
the shuttle relay-the final event
for the day. Georgetown gath
cred it's 80 points-one less to
cop honors-when it finished
second in the relay to add only
three points to its total OF q
before the race began.
Rosedale finished third behind
Sherwood and Georgetown, with
% points while Janney and
Hayes brought up the rear" with
IA and Is points for fourth and
fifth places, respectively.
The triumph for Sherwood
made additional history besides
the fact it was its first success
in only one year of organization
in that it broke a three-year
reign of Georgetown.

seen. In 1882, which was the real
bluefish year, the menhaden run
was large. Now although blue
will take them regardless of size,
it is much easier for them to feed
on the small ones. So with their
food so easily obtained, they don't
school up on top. All this is to
the detriment of the angler.
Last weekend we took some
nice ones around Thomas Light.
Since then we have drawn a

Roland England at Plum Point
says the run of blues there Satur-
DAY was the best he has ever
seen. Capt. Ralph Lee, OF Shady
side, took some nice ones yester-
day, trolling off West River. He
said that otherwise they haven't
been doing anything at all. That
is the way it is going all the
way around the bay and river;
here and there a good catch but
the majority of parties get only
q few.
Numerous Menhaden
This seems to be explained by
the great numbers of alewives, or
menhaden. They are small, but
thicker than 1 have ever seen
them before. The pound nets are
so loaded there is no room for
food fish.
Even above the bridge at South
River they look like sardines in
a can. With so much food avail
able, it is only occasionally that
you can find the blues really
feeding. One day they are on

Capt. Sam Tillett reports the
fishing as still exceptionally good
at Oregon Inlet, N. c., although
now it is large trout, three to seven
pounds and so to 10 to the boat,
instead of bluefish. The highest
boat last week on channel bass
was 20. This is one place where
you can catch fish any day you
can get outside, and on bad days
you can generally catch something
on the inside.
Rockfish trolling has been fine
