Revolutionary Theory
Is Guide to ActiOn!'

OF JleOry. FOR II Is only Che prOle-
tariat, the only revolutionary class
in capitalist society, which is capable
of understanding and developing the
scientific principles of social devel-
opment.
Our Communist Party is often
accused of being narrow, dogmatic
and intolerant, lacking in broad
mindedness, because we struggle
against all individuals and groups
who try to revise, change and water
down the essential features Of
Msrxism- Leninism.
In our approach to the masses
whom we are striving to win, to
organize, to mobilize for the revolu-
tionary struggle, We always must be
tolerant and patient, as well as stub
born and persistent.
But in the field of revolutionary
theory, to accomplish our main task
Of winning the broad masses, the
majority of the working class for
the proletarian revolution, we must
be resolutely intolerant against every
deviation in theory, against every
effort to revise Marxism and Lenin-
ism.
This theoretical intransigence,
this unyieIding adherence of the
Communist movement to the rev.
olutionary theory of Marxism-
Lerinisru is not sectaria nism. 1t
is net dogmatism. 1t is the nee
essarv pre-condition for the
smashing of sectarianism of all
opportunist tendencies in the
working class.
nUR theory is developed in life. in
" mass struggle. Onlv through
mass struggle can this theory grow
and develop further In our theoreti-
cal literature We make available the
knowledge that has been accumu-
lated from the experience of the
past struggles in order to solve the
problems of present and coming
struggles. Only in these struggles,
by arming ourselves with the lessons
Of the past struggles, do we develop
the theory, the knowledge and the
practice that makes up Marxisn-
Leuinism.
The works of MarXism -Leninism
arm the leading cadres Of the work
ing class with weapons which give
them the ability to resist the influ-
ence of class enemy ideas, to combat
them, to overcome them. With them
they can master the theological
weapons of Marxlsrn -Leninism and
put them into effect in the mass
struggle.
I EFT us grasp the full meaning Of
that slogan of our great teacher
Marx, that an idea becomes power
when it Is seized upon by the masses.
Our ideas are not forces in them
selves. They are instruments Of the
masses for the carrying through Of
the class struggle.
In greeting International Pub
fishers on its Tenth Anniversary,
we must at the same time realize
that we have not done all that was
necessary in extending the distribu-
ton of Marxist-Leninist classics.
One Of our most important tasks
now is to bring the great heritage
of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stain
to broader masses of the workers.
The two special anniversary pub
LEGATIONS Of International are espe-
cially suited for this task. The

classic, Foundations of Leninism,"
should reach at least 100000 work
ers. The Lenin set, which has been
issued at one-third the original
price, should serve as the nucleus
for library in all units and work
ers' organizations. 1t is our task to
utilize these WeaDOnS effectively

Questions and Answers

Question: How can the popularity
Of such movements as the develop
mentS leading to the formation of
a third party, Sinclair's EPIC pro-
gram, the Utopian Society, and the
like, be accounted for? M. HE.
Answer: The working people of
the United States are seeking a
genuine way out of the crisis that
would remove its crushing burdens
and establish social and economic
security. They can no longer be
deceived with the old fluff about
rugged individualisn. A subtler
form of capitalist ballyhoo has
therefore been concocted, which
outwardly is radical, but whose
purpose is the maintenance of the
present scheme of things, with all
its irreconcilable contradictions.

FEELING To RENEW
STRIKE IS STRONG
German Reports Sentiment
Grows in South Due to
discrimination"

BY the Associated Press.
Francis J. German, chairman of the
Textile Strike Committee, said today
sentiment for renewal of the strike
was strong in Southern mill centers
because of allegedly widespread dis
elimination against strikers in re-
employment of the workers.
German said he was urging union
members to be patient until the new
Textile Labor Relations Board was
appointed and had been given time
to act.
we know now with certainty
German said, that number of en-
ployers, particularly in the cotton in
dustry. are using methods of reprisal
against members of the union. In the
South the most vicious type of dis
elimination is prevalent.

unions and absolute refusal to employ
workers unless they repudiate the
union and throw themselves on the
mercy of the mill owners are being
used.
The condition is one of rankeSt
discrimination against union members
and manifestly an effort TO punish
them not only for striking against
the conditions that had prevailed in
these Southern mills. but to punish
them for union membership by deny
ing them Unemployment as well.
We are waiting for the appoint
ment of the board by the President
under the findings of the Winant re-
port. We hope this BOARD Will be
named without delay.

DOLLAR ADVANCES

British Currency Hits Lowest

NEW YORK. September 25.-With
the dollar exhibiting the strongest
tendency in many weeks, the British
pound fell TODAY to the lowest level
since early February Gold currencies
likewise dropped sharply in terms of
dollars.
The pound attracted particular in
terest in banking quarters in view of
its depreciation of more than cents
from the prices prevailing a week ago.
The rate declined to S4.9714 today,
an overnight loss of l1s cents This
was the lowest since early February
when the British currency was on
the upgrade seeking adjustment with
the newly-revalued dollar.
The dollar appeared to be the as
cendant currency for the moment, re-
placing the French franc in that role,
for the exchange rate on Paris also
improved dollarwise. The franc was
quoted 666 cents, a loss of .01as of
a cent on the day. The pound slipped
in Paris to 7468 francs from 74.75.

The latter foot prints, investigators
declare. were made by John" when
he leaped over the fence of Woodlawn
Cemetery on the night of March IL,
on which date he first met the man
who claimed he was the kidnaper of
the Lindbergh child.
On that occasion, shortly after
John" had said Hello doctor" to
Condor as the latter walked along the
cemetery fence a cemetery guard ap-
preached and frightened John"
Found Hiding in Bushes.
Concon said the stranger. a man of
German accent Immediately jumped
over the fence and ran through the
graveyard and into Van Cortlandt
Park, nearby. Condor followed him
to the park and found him hiding
in the bushes.
Reassured. John" sat on a park
bench with Condor and talked with
him for about half an hour about
plans for the ransom payment
The next day police went to the
cemetery and secured plaster casts of
heavy foot prints at the spot where
Condor said John" had landed in his
leap over the fence.
These foot prints. together with the
one found outside the Llndbergh home,
have been carefully preserved since the
crime
Heretofore it had been said repeat
edly that no footprints were saved for
future identification purposes, due to
the stampede of investigators and
newspapermen around the house on
the night of the kidnapping.
Fingerprints Found.
It Is known also that blurred finger
prints were found on the window pane
and sill of the baby's nursery window
after the abduction but investigators
in the past have declared the prints
were useless for purposes of identifica-
tion.
Justice experts identified blurred
fngerprints in the Dillnger case and
the Lamar, Colo, bank robbery case,
however. and it may be that they
have been able to make good use of
the prints found at Hopewell. Justice
officials refused to discuss this angle.

CUTTER ARGO OFF NEWPORT,
September 25.-The American De-
fender Rainbow today overcame a l.
advantage the Brit
ish challenger Endeavour had built
up on the first l0-mile leg of the 30
mile triangular course and led the
way at 20 miles in the sixth race Of
the Americas Cup series.
The white -hulled defender, footing
alone at great rate in the ll-knot

The challenger made the turn at

Rainbow.
Race Is Changed.
The White-hulled American sloop
had negotiated the l0-mile beat 3 min

complexion of the race.
Their elapsed times to the 20mile
mark were. Rainbow, 232: and

T o. NJ. Sopvith Endeavour's own

with Rainbow, letting the defender

far to windward, but he got the breeze
