What Is "Americatisn,''?

The necessary first step for the es-
Enlistment of Socialism is the setting
up of revolutionary workers govern
ment. The capitalists and their agents
shrek out that this revolutionary pro-
gram is un-American. But this ex-
presses not the truth, but only their
own greedy interests. Today, the only
party that carries forward the revolu-
tionary traditions of 1776 and 1861 I'M
der the present day conditions and rela-
tionship of classes, is the Communist
Party. Today, only the Communist
Party finds it politically expedient and
necessary to remind the American work
ing masses of how, in a previous crisis,
the way out was found by the path of
revolution. Today, only the Commu-
mist Party brings sharply forward and
applies to the problems of today that
old basic document of "Americanism,"
the Declaration of independence.
Applying the Declaration of hide
pendence to present day conditions, the
Communist Party points out that never
was there such mass of people so

the right to life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness" Never was there such
destructive" effects upon these rights
by "any form of government" as that
exerted today by the existing form of
government in the United States. Never
have the exploited masses suffered such
long train of abuses" or been so ere
duced under absolute despotism' as to-
day under capitalist rule The "prin-
ciple" which must provide the founda-
ton of the "new government" men
toned in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is, in 1884, the principle of the
dictatorship of the proletariat; the new
form is the form of the workers and
farmers councils-the Soviet power.
The new guards for their future Sc
curity," which the workers must estab-
fish, are the installing of the working
class in every position of power, and the
dissolution of every institution of capt.
talist class rule.

U.S.A. Is Ripe for Socialism

In every material respect, the United
States is fully ripe for Socialism. It's
accumulated wealth and productive
forces, together with an inexhaustible
supply of almost all of the raw ma
terials, provide a complete material
basis for Socialism. All material con-
ditions exist for a society which could
at once provide every necessity of life
and even degree of luxury for the en-
tire population, with an expenditure of
labor of three or four hours per day.,
This tremendous wealth, these gil
gantic productive forces are locked
away from the masses who could use
them They are the private property
of the small parasitic capitalist class,
which locks up the warehouses and
closes the factories in order to compel
a growing tribute of profit. This para
lysis of economy in the interest of profit,
at the cost of starvation and degrade
ton to millions, is enforced by the capt.
talist government with all its police,
courts, jails and military.
There is no possible way out of the
crisis in the interest of the masses eX-
cept by breaking the control of the State
power now in the hands of this small
monopolist capitalist class. There is no
way out except by establishing a new
government of the workers in alliance
with the poor farmers, the Negro peo-
pie, and the impoverished middle class.
There is no way out except by the
creation of a revolutionary democracy
of the toilers, which is at the same time
stern dictatorship against the capt.
talists and their agents. There is no
way out except by Selling from the CAPT
talists the industries, the banks and all
of the economic institutions, and trans
forming them into the common prop
erty of all under the direction of the
revolutionary government. There is no
way out, in short, except by the aboli-
tion of the capitalist system and the
establishment of Socialist society.

Fight for Bread Is q Fight
Against Capitalism

The capitalist way out of the crisis
lies along the way of wage cuts, speed
up, denial of unemployment insurance,
fascism and war. The revolutionary
way out of the crisis begins with the
fight for unemployment insurance.
against wage cuts, for wage increases,
for relief to the farmers-through dem
onstrations, strikes, general strikes,
leading up to the seizure of power, to
the destruction of capitalism by a revo-
lutionary workers government.
The Communist Party calls upon the
workers, farmers and impoverished
middle classes to unite their forces to
struggle uncompromisingly against ev-
cry reduction of their living standards,
against every backward step now being
forced upon them by the capitalist cri-
sis, against the growing menace of Fas-
cism and war. The Communist Party
leads and organizes this struggle, lead
ing toward the only final solution-the
establishment of a workers govern
ment.
The establishment of a Socialist So
ciety in the United States will be at the
same time a death blow to the whole
world system of imperialist oppression
and exploitation. 1t will mark the end
of world capitalism. 1t will be the de-
cisive step towards a classics society
throughout the world, towards World
Comrrunisml

4. F. of L. and Socialist Party
Leaders Support Roosevelt

How can the workers and farmers
fight against these policies which are
driving them into starvation? The lead
ers of the A. F. of L. have openly iden-
titled themselves with the policies of
the Roosevelt administration. To the ex-
tent that these leaders control the trade
unions, they prevent or demoralize the
struggles of the workers and deliver
them helpless into the hands of the can
italists. The Socialist Party supports
the A. F. of L. leaders and endorses and
actively supports every particular policy
of the New Deal: initiation, NRA, AAA,
PWA, CWA, CCC, Wagner Bill, ETC.,
hailing these fascist and war measures
as "steps toward Socialism"
1t is clear that the workers and farm
ers cannot fight back the capitalist at
tacks unless they break away from the
policies of the A. F. of L. and Socialist
Party leaders. AS against the united
front which these leaders have set up
with the capitalist government, the toll
ing masses must establish their own
working class united front from below,
against the capitalist class and the
Roosevelt administration.

TO ALL WORKERS OF
THE U. S. A.:

We speak to you in the name OF
$4,000 members of the Communist
Party who elected the delegates of this
Eighth National Convention; in the
name of several hundred thousand
workers who elected fraternal delegates
from trade unions, unemployment coun-
ellis. workers clubs, fraternal societies;
in the name of the miners, steel work
ers, metal workers, auto workers, tex
tile workers, marine workers, railroad
workers, whose delegates constitute
majority of this convention.
To you, the working class and toiling
farmers of the United States, this Con-
vention of workers addresses itself, to
speak few plain words about the crisis,
and about the possibility of finding q
way out.
The crisis of the capitalist system is
becoming more and more a catastrophe
for the workers and toiling masses.
Growing millions of the exploited popu-
lation are faced with increased diff
culties in finding the barest means of
livelihood. Unemployment relief is be-
ing drastically cut and in many cases
abolished altogether. Real wages are be-
ing reduced further every month, and
labor is being speeded up to an inhuman
degree.
The vast majority of the poor farm
ers are slowly but surely being squeezed
off the land and thrown on the "free"
labor market to compete with the work
ers. The oppressed Negro people are
loaded down with the heaviest economic
burdens, especially of unemployment,
denied even the crumbs of relief given
to the starving white masses, and fur
Their subjected to bestial lynch law and
Jim Crowism. Women workers and
housewives are especially sufferers
from the crisis, and from the fascist
movements to drive them out Of indus
try. Millions of young workers are
thrown upon the streets by the closing
Of schools and simultaneously are de-
MED any chance to earn their living in
the industries.
