Must Fight Against All
Signs of Increasing
Chauyinism
BY BEATRICE SHIELDS
District No. s

THE 18th Plenum of the E. C. C. 1
warns its sections that fascism
cannot be fought in a general
manner. 1t must be fought con-
cretely wherever it raises it head
The 18th Plenum characterizes fas-
cism in the following manner:
The growth of fascism means
that the capitalists are no longer
able to maintain their dictator
ship by the old methods of parli-
amentarism and bourgeois demo-
cracy generally. Moreover, the
methods of parliamentarism and
bourgeois democracy are becon1-
ing hindrance to the capitalists
IN their home politics tthe fight
against the proletariat) as well
as their foreign politics (war for
the imperialist Redistribution of
the worId)."
This does not mean that fascism
comes about suddenly when the
bourgeoisie can no longer rule the
old way. Fascism comes directly
out of the bourgeois democracy.
Bourgeois democracy lays the
ground and prepares for fascism.
What is the basic theology of
capitalism? Nationalism is the
theology of capitalist class rule.
The American empire, for instance
was built up on the basis of a
bloody policy of divide and rule.

the Negro question. characterizes
American Imperialism as Yankee
arrogance" which "stinks with thu

2 C.. p. Conventions Are
Held in Heart of South
Districts 10 and IL to Concentrate on Struggles
in Textile Iron, Steel, Coal, Railroads

Two district conventions of the
Communist Party. held in the heart
of the big Southern industrial and
agricultural centers. in the midst of
the terror which the Southern bosses
have aimed against both Negro and
white workers, were held last week
in preparation for the Eighth Ma
tional Convention Of the Communist
Party to open in Cleveland on Mon
day, and for the purpose Of def
nitely turning the face Of the Party
and it's forces toward several key,
concentration industries in the
South.
The conventions we're those of
Districts is North and South Caro-
lima and most Of Virginia. and II
(Alabama).
The district 16 convention, held
in a section of the country which
contains the bulk of the big South
ern textile mills, was attended by
big group of delegates determined
to consider thoroughly the prob
lens Of organizing the textile mills
and making such organizational
work the basis of building a mass
Communist Party in the district.
The textile, as well as the shipping
and railroad industries, were chosen
for concentrated discussion at this
convention, as well as concentrated
work during the coming period.
The marine industry, which is
concentration point in this district,
is largely centered around the
Hampton Roads Va,) region This
is one Of the biggest shipping CEN
ters in the world, through which
tremendous amount of coal and raw
materials is shipped every year. The
railroad industry also received much
attention from the delegates at the
convention,
Much criticism was made in con-
nection with the building of the
Party in the textile mills, the rail-
road shops, the docks. ETC. In the
past three months, however, it was
pointed out that some progress had
been noted in shop work. This gave
a decidedly optimistic tone and
spirit to the convention.
All forces in District Is, the con-
vention revealed, are ORIGINATING
themselves toward colossal, quickly
approaching struggle in the textile
mills, In a number of cases, dele
gates declared that superintendents

OTHER organizations, such as the
" New America" which started as
a semi-fascist organization, with a
definitely anti-capitalist appeal has
now matured into a full-f1edged

gram calls for the abolition OF the

Their answer. of course, is violence.

to build up our union and the
building Of rank and file groups
with the A. A.
How is this work to be done2
IL Firstly we must have q vide
distribution of leaflets exposing the
reasons for the loss Of the strike
and outlining the necessity of rank
and file organization and fight for
the demands Of the workers. A
program Of action must be worked
out by the rank and file and pop
ularized among all the workers to
get their support in the A. A. meet
ings. In every department we must
work insistently for a united front
with all the workers, A. A, S. NJ.
w. I. u. and unorganized, on the
grievances facing them.
BY forming such united front &C
lions, the leaders Of the A. A. will
try to prevent any action, will be-
come exposed to all the workers,
One issue upon which we can form
united front is the Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill, for
which already some of the rank
and file A. A. members are begin
ming to fight. At all times We must
be ready TO take action on any
issue of the workers, we must ever
be in the fore front with propaganda
and action If this is done the
workers will be drawn into sharper
and sharper conflict with the A. A.
leaders, who will thereby lose all in
fiuence among the workers.
During this time there is one
other thing that must be done or
else We will not succeed, and that
is the building of the Party. The
Party must be made into a func-
tioning Party that will become a
leader. All the best elements from
the A. A. rank and file, S. M. w.
I. U. and unorganized workers must
be drawn into the c. P. during this
time. This means that an organ
izer for the Party must at once be
sent to Eastern Ohio. This is
large and important section; what
we are able to do here will have :

war in the United States. In the
words of General johnson at a con-
ference of industrialists: 'T would
rather deal with Bill Green, etc.
Their interests are our interests"
The Socialist Party, with its in
ternational policy of the lesser
evil" has been internationally and
is in the U. S. the factor that is
paving the way for fascism as
agents inside the ranks of the
working class. In preparation for
war they stand for the defense of
the bourgeois fatherland In the
last war Mr.. Hillquit promised that
the Socialist Party will not call
strikes to handicap war prepara-
tons. Today, in preparations for
fascism in the U. S. the Socialist
Party gives full support TO the N.
R. A and boosts it as "the only
true road to Socialism" The Soci-
alist Party that refuses to recog-
nize Socialism in the U. S. S. r.,
and actively participates in inter-
vention plans of the Imperialists,
however, finds its Socialism "in the
Roosevelt program" This is decep-
ton of the rankest kind. The OBJ
iect is to exploit the desire Of the
toiling masses for Socialism. Hear
what they say in their platform for
the Socialist Party National Con-
vention:
In common with the rest of
labor, the Socialist Party SYM
pathizes with all efforts aimed at
recovery and the restoration of
jobs to the unemployed. 1t well

The Fight Against Growing Fascist Moves

applies especially to the policy of
American imperialism towards the
most oppressed section, the Negro
masses.
However, We will find that Amer
lean imperialism not only divides
Negro and white, but foreign born
and native-born with great deal
of viciousneSs. There is systematic
propaganda being conducted against
certain sections of the working
class, especially the sections of the
foreign-born workers who are I'M
skilled and working in the most
basic industries in America. There
is system of MATCHMAKING which
has almost become second nature"
in America.
This results in an almost brutal
chauvinism among the native
Americans, especially the middle
class, and arrogance that does not
tolerate any other nationality. In
times of so-called peaceful" de-
velopment of capitalism, this system
of divide and rule is quietly. but
firmly being practiced When CAPT.
talism can no longer keep the
masses divided and the urge for
unity is getting stronger, when the
privileged sections of the American
working class are standing in the
bread-lines and on the charity lists
along with the foreign born
and Negro workers, imperialism
strengthens its .chauvinist propa-
ganda and creates open fascist or
CARNATIONS to violently put its
propaganda into effect.
1t is especially important at this
time, with the approaching war,
to expose concretely every maneuver
of the bourgeoisie and the cam
paigns of Jingoism and chauvinism
being conducted by the capitalist
press, their radios. etc. It is very
interesting to note that Mr.. Simons,
