The Nominating
Convention

TINE New York State nominating con-
vention, which will be held in the
Star Casino on Saturday, and the mass
ratification rally which will follow on
Sunday in the Bronx Coliseum, will mark
the formal opening of the broadest and most
energetic election campaign ever conducted in this
state by the Communist Party.
These two meetings are the more important
because of the situation in which the campaign is
taking place, The growing threat of relief cuts
In all parts of the state as well as in New York
City, the approaching strike of Atlantic coast
marine workers in which Mayor La Guardia will
see his first big opportunity to use his infamous
rifle squad" the continued suffering of workers
and poor farmers up-state-these problems give
redoubled Importance to the Communist election
campaign and to the two weekend meetings which
will open it formally.
The Communist Party wants the participation
of the widest masses in these two events as it does
in all its activities.
Party members, non-Party members, sympathetic
workers and trade union members of all Affiliations,
as well as Socialist Party members and sympathiz-
ers are urged to attend
The success of these two events will help the
Party turn the election campaign into real mil
liant struggle for the daily needs of the toiling
masses Of this state.

IAnti-Fascist
Actions Grow
In Greek Army
Soldiers Give Funds to
Illegal Communist
Army Group

ATHENS. Greece, Sept. 26.-De-
tails of militant unrest which have
filtered in to this city from the
neighborhood of the summer en-
campmentS of regiments all over
Greece, furnish surface indications
of the way in which the revolu-
tionary movement has transfused
the Greek Army.
In Saloniki, for example, IS SOL
diers Of the 18th regiment of noun
tain artillery have signed pro-
test which reads: I'VE protest
against the attempts being made to
establish q military-faSciSt dictator
ship in our country, and swear we
will warn all of our comrades about
this danger, who are not yet con-
scious of it. We will bring them
over to our side, so that we may
together fight fascism in Greece"
A group of soldiers of the 10Th
Infantry Regiment in Series has
collected Is drachma, and group
of soldiers Of the fourth regiment
Of mountain artillery 80 drachma,
and sent these sums to the head
quarters of the illegal military or
ganization of the Communist Party
of Greece, in order to help its
struggle against the impending mil
itary fascist rule.
Eleven soldiers of the second in
fantry regiment at Series were ar
rested. They will be tried for hav-
ing pasted up posters with slogans
against war and fascism on the
walls of their barracks. The court
martial sentenced them to 20 days,
but due to the lack of evidence,
was forced to commute this sentence
The men of the 18th regiment in
Series found similar posters on the
walls of their quarters, and read and
discussed them with great interest.
In order to uncover the author, the
officer in charge tested the hand
writing of so of his men.
In the Kozani barracks, soldiers
refused the food given them for the
reason that it was full of worms.
Two soldiers were subsequently ar
rested as ''mutineers."
A private of the 18th regiment
Of artillery was also arrested as a
'mutineer."
Twenty soldiers of the 10th regi-
ment in Series have written a pro-
test against the brutality practiced
by the police at the time of the
peasants gathering in Aegion, and
have called on their brothers in
arms in future to lay down their
arms.

Anti Communist Party
Publishes Newspaper
In Costa Rican Capital

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Sept. rs.
The Anti-C Communist Party, re-
Gently founded here as a means
for breaking the banana strike,
has shifted its field of operations
for the moment, from the swamp
lands of the Atlantic coast to the
safer atmosphere of a print-shop
in the capital.
The Anti-C Communist Party will
henceforth combat Communism
with newspaper, Defensa Ma
tional. which it will publish once
a week. Trabajo, organ of the
Communist Party of Costa Rica,
is three years old, and will shortly
appear as a daily.
1t will be remembered that not
long ago President Jimenez stated
that Communist propaganda could
not be fought with bullets.

General Strike Frees
Mayor and Aldermen
Of Red Town in Greece


ATHENS, Greece The inhabi-
tants of the town of Cavalla have
freed their arrested Communist
mayor and aldermen by declaring
a general strike, in which workers,
artisans and stopkeepers joined,
as soon as it became known that
the prisoners were to be exiled.
At one of the meetings held,
there was a clash, during which
one policeman and two peasants
were wounded, one of them fatally.
The workers demanded the COL
lective freedom of all those ar
rested, and, under the stress of
mass protest, the Communist mayor
and aldermen were set free.

WHAT are the conclusions that we must draw from
" this new feature of the rehabilitation of the
masses? 1t is first that the struggle for the united
front is no longer largely question of agitation,
but is becoming more and question of action,
of the daily organization of the united struggles
of all workers regardless of their political aflia-
TONS Tt is second that we must not relent for a
single moment the pressure upon the Socialist Party
for united action with the Communist Party. It
is, third that we must increase MANIFOLD the pro-
paganda for Communism, for the revolutionary way
out of the crisis recruiting most intensivey the
more advanced radcazed workers into our Party
eliminating membership fuctuaton, and building
the Communist Party as the mass Party Of the
American proletariat
The reply of the Central Committee to the rejec-
ton of our united front offers by the Milwaukee
meeting of the NEG. of the Socialist Party pub
lished in this issue, carries important message
to our Party membership and to the workers in
general. 1t is, namely, that no amount of evasion
rotten diplomacy, and searching after excuses for
not having a united front, can or will stop our
Party from seeking and establishing united front
of action with the Socialist workers. Norman
Thomas, who sang sweetly of united working
class action when he was in the minority of the
NEG. of the Socialist Party began to- demonstrate
peculiar sort of timidity and hestancy on the
matter after he became the majority The real
"Militants," that is those who fight and get what
they want in the NEG. of the Socialist Party seem
to be the spiritual children of Abe Cahan (the I'M
speakable) rather than the official "Militants" of
Norman Thomas persuasion. And as to the leaders
of the Revolutionary Policy Committee" the ones
that have promised the Socialist Party workers a
revolutionary" Socialist Party, what has happened
to them? If they disagree with the evasive and
negative reply of their NEG to our united front
proposals, why don't they say so? Why don't they
do something about it in clear daylight 50 the work

MOST important is the struggle for the united
"h front the trade union field. Our strategic
aim is the achievement of trade union unity as one
of the most important means for liquidatng the
split in the working class brought about and per-
petuated by the class collaboration of the social
fascists The resolution of the Central Committee
makes the struggle for the united front on the
trade union field the only way to trade union unity
one of our major tasks. AS demonstration of the
most recent efforts of the Communists in the unions
to bring about unity of action between the unions
of the Trade Union Unity League and the American
Federation of Labor, point to the united front
proposals of the National Textile Workers Union
made upon the initiative of the Communists in that
organization to the United Textile Workers. These
proposals. and the practical steps taken in connec-
ton with Them have already greatly increased the
morale of the striking textile workers, thus
strengthening the fighting front of the workers
and the militant leadership among them.
In this higher stage of our struggle for the
united 'front.' the resolution of the Central Com
mittee warns especially against the danger of two
opportunlst errors. One is the danger of tagging
behind in the exposure of the strike breaking and
social-fascist leaders of the A. F. of L. and of
tmidity and hesitation in fighting for the indepen-
dent leadership of the economic struggles of the
workers by the left and revolutionary elements in
the A. F. of L. unions Tagging behind in the ex-
and at times entirely failing in this central task
was the error committed by our San Francisco COM
rades, the comrades who played leading and or
ganizing role in the great strikes on the Pacific
coast This error then rationalized by one COM
rade (Morris) and presented as "noder policy
Tor the whole Party. The struggle against such
Right opportunist errors is an absolute condition
for successful struggle for the united front At
the same time we must wage determined struggle
against all forms of resistance to systematic revo-
lutionary work in the unions of the A. F. of L.
At time of the most rapid rehabilitation of the
masses in the A. p. of L.. and in the face of the
most varied maneuvers of the A. F. of L. bureau
cracy to retain leadership of these masses re-
formal acceptance but practical opposition to such
work leads inevitably to the isolation of the pro-
letarian vanguard from large masses of organized
radicalized workers and plays directly into the
hands of Green, Lewis & Co., into the hands of
the capitalist class
The resolution of the Central Committee and
Comrade PROVIDERS report Ghe latter to be pub
lshed in the October issue of The Communist)

situation and with practical directives for the
further unfolding of the growing counter offensive

A Fresh Weapon in the
Struggle for the
United Front

DECENTLY the Daily Worker published
II the resolution adopted at a meeting
of the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party, U. S. A.
In the light of the tremendous strike
struggles going on the deepening Of the economic
crisis and the paramount issues in the election cam
paign, this resolution can and will become a power
full weapon in the hands of every Party unit and
of all militant and class conscious workers of the
United States.
And in order to make it so, It is necessary to
study the resolution with a view of applying its
directves to the concrete and specific tasks the i'm
mediate practical tasks of each Party organization
each Party unit and each Party fraction in the
non-Party mass organizations. The resolution makes
it obligatory for the Party units and fractions to
carry through such discussion at their earliest
regular meeting.
The Central Committee, at the recent meeting,
placed in the center of its deliberations the Strug-
gle for the united front. In reviewing the course
of the sharpening class struggle in the United States
since the 9Th Convention of the Party, comrade
Browder pointed out the growing rehabilitation of
the masses drawing attention to "a distinct new
feature" Of this rehabilitation It is the sharply
favorable response that is arising and rapidly
spreading to the call for a united front against
the capitalist class, against fascism and war" We
have seen this growing urge of the masses towards
unity of action in every one of the recent strike
struggles. It came to brilliant expression in the
Pacific Coast maritime strike and in the General
Strike of San Francisco because of the leading and
organizing role played by the Communist Party in
these great class battles
