The Communist Party Leads Fight
Against Bosses in the ChGcO Var

war in the last two years. The real
ization that they are fighting an
Anglo American conflict for oil is
swiftly gaining ground in the army
Rotten food and lack of clothing
are stirring up great discomfort at
the front. Only the severest terror
keeps the soldiers in line.
The government breads anticipat-
ing rehabilitation when, and if,
the war comes to an end. The gov
eminent is scared by the prospect
of what may happen when thou
sands of soldiers with guns in their
hands are released from the army.
Preparations have already been
made to prevent revolt following
the mobilization. The Foreign
Legion, composed Of mercenary
soldiers, is being strengthened with
view to pitting them against revo-
lutionary troops. White Russian
officers are taking a leading part
in the counter-revolutionary plans.
Forced Labor Established
Conditions behind the battle
lines in Paraguay are intolerable.
Forced labor has been established
all over the country. Women and
children are compelled to work in
the factories, since even fifteen
year-old boys have been drafted
into the army. Those who resist
forced labor are shipped to the
front. Demonstrations against the
high cost of living and strikes
against wage cuts have been bru-
tally attacked by the police.
Paraguayan peasants are literally
fighting against the war. They
have been stripped of their property
by military acquisitions for the sup
port of the war. The peasants.
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party, have rallied around
the slogan Peasants, resist all army
acquisitions! Not one grain of corn,
nor a single horse, nor mule, nor
a COW to help the imperialist war;"
Peasants Take Up Arms
In many sections the peasants
have taken arms and organized into
fighting forces. They are waging
guerilla warfare against regular

LONDON, Oct. 3.-All efforts to
put cleft" tinge on the British
Labor Party were defeated by the
trade union leaders and former La
Dor Cabinet ministers at the Saith
Conference of the Party, now in
session.
Rejecting the amendments of the
Socialist League, the Labor Party
leaders in control of the confer
ence mover more openly in their
support of British imperialism and
it's war preparations.
Sir Stafford Cripps, leader of the
'lefts," attacked the Labor Party
program as aiming to maintain
capitalism, working only for wrest-
ing the maximum reforms for the
workers. The "lefts" proposed
measures for peaceful specialization
of industry, finance and land.
Votes for the bureaucracy were
cast by leaders of 2,146,000, while
leaders of 100000 voted for the
"lefts."
Support to the British govern
ment's role in the League of Ma
tons was urged by Arthur Hender-
son. Even the so-called lefts were
in favor of Britain's policy in the
League, raising illusions about the

New Cabinet

MADRID, Oct. 3-After an all
day conference with political lead
ers, President Zamora asked Ale
jandro Lerroux, leader of the Rad
ical Party to form a new Cabinet
incorporating the Center and Right
Parties and excluding altogether
any representation of the Spanish
masses.
In thus utilizing the figure-head
Of a mass party, without actually
allowing a representative of the
workers to enter the Cabinet, the
leaders Of Spanish reaction hope to
strike out for fascist dictator
ship.
Although the government refuses
to hold any new elections, in fear
that the anger of the masses at
being excluded from the Cabinet
will be registered at the polls, So
cialiSts, Communists and Syndical-
lists stand together on their decIara-
ton opposing any administration
which does not include representa-
ton Of the workers.

army troops who are sent to col
lect acquisitions and to recruit peas
ants into the army. The peasant
guerillas have engaged the regular
forces in many sharp battles, and
they have inflicted several smash
ing defeats upon the government
troops.
At least twice, once at Villa En-
carnacion and again at Coronel
Bogado, peasant forces have stormed
government troop trains full OF
recruits bound for the front; the
peasant partisans promptly freed
the recruits and helped them to
escape the war; at the same time
the peasants conf1scated the army
food supply. Organized armed
peasants have cut the wire fences
of the rich ranch owners and killed
cattle for their own use.
Aid from Argentina
Help in the anti-war struggle has
also come from Argentina. The
longshoremen of Buenos Aires have
refused to lead or unload munitions
destined for the Gran ChacO.
In all the anti-war struggles, in
Paraguay's shops, countryside and
army, the Communist Party is in
the forefront. Many Communists
have been arrested, jailed and tor
tured. In spite Of the terror the
Communist Party continues to lead
the fight against the war. The toll
ing masses, both at the front and
at the rear, have been eagerly re-
ceptive to Communist propaganda.
The government is justified In its
panic stricken fear of the increas-
ing influence Of the leadership OF
the Communist Party, for neither
Wall Street nor the League of Ma
tions (neither the Standard Oil
Co. nor Royal Dutch SHIELD will
stop the war. But the workers and
peasants, led by the Communist
Party, and assisted by the Interna-
tional proletariat through such &C
lions as the longshoremen of
Buencs Aires, are advancing rap
idly toward the point of transform
ing the imperialist war into a civil
war.

Hinton's dismal outlook is based
on the proposition that the con-

Soldiers Fraternize at Front
Paraguayan soldiers are frater-
nizing with Bolivian troops at the
front. They are sharing each
others cigarettes and food They
ore applauding each others sing
ing.
Paraguay's troops in many in
stances have turned their guns at
their own officers, of whom many
have been killed in this manner.
The government has no faith in
the arny's loyalty. In fact guns
are issued to the soldiers only at
the front. Rebellion in the army
has reached such heights that the
ruling class is afraid to risk put
ting weapons into the hands of
workers and peasants in uniform.

side the hall more than 1000 sea-
men from the mass meeting that
was held at South and Whitehall
Streets marched past the 7. s. U.
hall, shouting denunciations of the
Olander betrayal and urging all
rank and file seamen to join the
strike on Monday.
Yesterday members Of crews of
ships belonging to the Eastern
Steamship Company came to the
I. S. U. hall and asked to see the
agreement which Olander signed.
Silas B. Axtell, counsel to the dis
trict committee of the I. S. u. told
the men that he could not show 1t
to them, but that he could tell
them what was in it. The men
left the hall disguised when Ak
tell failed to show them where the
seamen had won anything.
Protesting against the refusal to
include representatives of the Joint
Strike Preparations Committees in
the negotiations with the ship
owners, Roy B. Hudson, chairman
of the committee, sent a telegram
to Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the
National Labor Relations Board,
demanding again that the commit
tee be represented.
Yesterday a group Of more than
200 licensed officers who drew up

to the Joint Strike Preparations
Committee, sent a delegation to the
Offices of the United Licensed Off

the organization to discuss the de-
mands and to form a united front
officers strike committee which will
have representation on the general
strike committee. Bert Todd, secre-
tary of the Association, gave the
delegation no definite answer on
the unity proposal. A licensed off,
GERS committee will present their
demands to the ship owners today.
To rally the Philadelphia seamen
for the struggle, a mass meeting
will be held at 312 South Second
St, tonight, addressed by Hayes
Jones, editor of the Marine Work
ers' Voice.
A report from New Orleans states
that there is tremendous sentiment
in that port for the strike. The New
Orleans Provisional Strike Action
Committee has announced that it
will hold a port conference of sea-
men who are on the beach and ship
representatives Sunday at pm.

all likelihood has been timed to
coincide with the moment the anti
Red drive is expected to get under
full steam.
There are a number Of develop
ments tending to show that con-
vention off1cialdom is preparing with
more than usual care to attack the
resolutions which support the rank
and file program, as well as take
some kind of organizational steps
against delegates suspected of Com
munist leanings. 1t is even prob
able that such measures will be di-
rected against all lower delegates
whose resolutions in any way run
counter to the official program of
the convention leadership.
Weinstock Cross Questioned
Louis Weinstock, secretary of the
A. F. of L. Rank and File Commit
tee for Unemployment Insurance,
has been closely questioned by a
number of newspaper correspon-
dents whose close connections with
Green, VOL, Morrison and others
are fairly well known.
The questions put to Weinstock
related to his alleged connections
with one Bill Dunno and the con-
nection of Dunno, if any, with the
Another indication that official
dom is trying to build up a better
case for their anti-Red drive thar
they have at present is the fact
that Frank Morrison, national secre.
tary Of the A. f. of L., has ques-
toned a number of delegates in
Producing resolutions dealing with
various points of the rank and file
program in regard to their knowl-
edge of the meaning of the reso-
lutions they have sponsored. The
inference is that they are simply
dupes of cunning Reds. So far the
delegates have replied to Morrison
that the resolutions speak for them
selves and that what they mean as
part of a proposed program for
organized labor will be shown or
the floor during the discussion.
Rank and File Meeting Held
The popular character of the
meeting held Monday night in
Eagles Hall, with between 300 and
1000 workers present, most of them
members of unions and including
a large number of delegates to the
convention, doubtless has caused
the convention bureaucracy to dc
little thinking of not too cheer
full character.

Indian Festival Believed Basis
Of Thanksgiving of Pilgrims
Celebration May Haze Been Reuival
of Martinmas of Europe-Words
of Ritual BibIe-Like in Nature.

Did the Pilgrims invent T'hanksgiv-
ing or did they find it?
1t may have been pure inspiration
or it may have been revival on the
desolate Cape Cod shore of the Mar
tinmas of Europe. with which they
had been familiar from childhood.
Still third possibility is that they
took over purely aboriginal American
festival and made it their own. In
giving would be Degandawida, the
peace-bringing apostle of the Iroquois.
In any event, the Six Nations, who
were in contact with the Algonquins
met by the Massachusetts settlers. had
a harvest festival strikingly similar to
the present American holiday. The
words OF its ritual, in particular, might
almost have been taken from the Bible
DR.. j. N. B. Hewitt, ethnologist of
the Smithsonian Institution, has re-
covered the text of the Iroquois great
feather dance ritual, which antedated
by centuries the Thanksgiving inau-
gurated at Plymouth. The chances
are that the festival is partly inspira-
tional, partly European and partly In
dian in origin.
Spirit Of Holiday.
But. especially in its closing words
the IroquoiS ritual expresses the finest
spirit Of the holiday when the red
men praised the Master of Life" for
he willed that just and righteous acts
shall be the means of making US true
men and women: so let us be thankful
that his words are being carried out
on the earth"
The text. as gathered by Hewitt, is
| in part as follows:
I'VE congratulate one another this
day because We are still alive in this
world.
I'VE give thanks to the earth and We
| give thanks also to all the things
which it contains. Moreover, We give
thanks to all the visible sky We give
| thanks also to the orb of light that
daily goes on its course through the
| daytime. We give our thank. nightly
also to the light orb that pursueS its
course during the night.
