anything in the local situation
of particular significance at the
time, an analysis of the matter
linking it up with world cOndi-
tions-would be profitable both
to members and to newcomers.
Should such a discussion be
impractical, the tone of the party
might be set, and good deal Of
inspiration received, by reading
some of the many articles now
appearing in magazines.
Strong Article Good
Dictatorship of the Proletar-
lat" by Anna Louise Strong in
the October American Mercury,
for instance, could not fail to
arouse interest in the minds of
even the most skeptical guests.
Prizes for the evening should
be working class literature. The
wide range in prices of pamph-
let's and books makes it possible
to tit them to every occasion.
If it is desirable or necessary
dramatic sketches dealing with
the working class problems are
even more popular.
III the party is smaller the first
to make the evening profitable
financially, a Dutch rattle can be
held after the card games. This
consists OF offering some object,
anything from book to a pie,

the bid five cents at a time, put

The Dicksteni anti-Communist law, meas
ure backed by the U. s. Chamber of Commerce,
the Hearst press and the reactiOnary heads of
veterans organizations, is the weapon with
which the American ruling class hopes to make
labor helpless to resist wage cuts, relief cuts
and its other attacks on the living standards
of the masses
The bill, which will be introduced in Con-
gress during this session, would make it fell

rights, which millionaire hypocrites like Hearst
pretend to treasure so highly.
The ruling class knows that If it disposes
of the Communist Party and few other milit-
ant working class organizations, organized la
Dor, with its treacherOus OffieiadOm will not
be able to fight effectively against the Wall
Street program of lay-offs, wage cuts, speed-up,
relief cuts and war.
Workers, both individually and through
their organizations should lose no time in
sending resolutions to their congressman, de-
handing that they fight and vote against
the bill.

We Face a Sell-out
ANOTHER PART of the mes.

sage deals with the international
situation. The President admits
that international rivalries and
war preparations are serious in
deed. He urges the extension of
"our own peaceful and neighbor-
ly attitude" In the light of our
own war preparations mention
ed in preceding columns these
, words are a hollow sham. We are
facing in the near future a SELL
out even more blatant than
Woodrow Wilson's campaign:
"He kept us out of war" Only
the rapid completion of the unit
ed front can prevent the grow
ing preparations for another inn
perialist massacre.
AS FOR FAsCIsM, watch the
extension of the CCC camps and
the disguised peonage of the
subsistence homestead plan, the
threat over labor in the unem-
ployment and old age pension
systems. Those workers who
strike against government orders
will lose their benefits. The sub
sistence homesteads will have a
government mortgage of about
$1,000. 1t is planned that the dwell
er will work for total OF $1,000
in cash wages during the year
and will get 5000 in food from his
homestead. Out of this he must
pay interest. the principal OF the
mortgage and live. As for the
CCC camps, even the army offic.
ers and the reactionary American
Liberty League agree with the
President that they should be
extended.

Dear Editor:
As l have been a member of
an AFL craft union for six
months | consider this an appro-
pirate time to voice what some
may term a rather severe critic
ism of the tactics and policies of
the AL.
In the first place, how can a
reasonable person defend the
paying OF such salaries as $500 to
$500 a month to organizers and
top officials when so many are
working for $l2 a week? I think
it is very unreasonable.
Craft Unions Split workers
Another thing that / have
found out and that is that craft
unions split the workers up and
keep them pitted against each
other. That is why l am strong
for industrial uniOnism and 1
have found that it is the ignor-
anee of the membership that is
responsible for the officials get
ting by the way they do.
IL the members were more class
conscious and politically educat-
ed do you mean to tell me the
top officials could get by the
way they do?
Another thing is, how can "a
worker get up and defend the
capitalist press when his own
union paper comes out and
states how unfair the local press
J is to the strikersl
Why don't the officials encour-
age the members to cultivate an
open mind and visit the libraries
and read anything and every
thing? knowledge is power. OF
course it is dangerous to some
people who like to see things
stay as they are. II the ALL is
supposed to speak in the name of
organized labor in America why
doesn't 1t fight for the defense
and release of all class war pris-
oners like the Scottsboro boys
and others?
Hits Green, VOL
Why is it that the top official
dom OF the ALL conducted cam
paigns of propaganda against the
recognition of the first workers
republic ever known in the his
tory Of mankind, and yet Green
and Vol have the gall to speak
in the name of organized labor in

Rabid War Propaganda

Daily, the Times has been run
ming a series of illustrated strips
(map and explanatory text "the
World War-20 Years Ago To
day"-the most rabid of war pro-
paganda.
And to all these the govern
ment pro-war moves, the rumor-
ed engagement of Franklin ID.
Roosevelt Jr. to a daughter of
one of the DuPonts whom the
Senate recently put through a
mock trial and whom President
Roosevelt Immediately put on
his national war mobilization
board and the picture becomes
clearer, the government and it's
financial parent-big business
daily push more rapidly toward
war.
To render the greatest pos
sible aid in the push toward war
William Green of the ALL ad-
vises Congress to lose no time
in Outlawing the Communist
Party and all other militant la
Dor groups. s-
Vol Aids Fascist Drive
Matthew VOL, president of
the powerful and reactionary-
patriotic National Civic Fedora
ton and vice-president of the
AFL, urges the same. Congress
sional committees are already
hard at work framing such
measures to push through Con-
gress before it adjourns this
spring.
Postal authorities are urging
Congress to add further teeth to
the law by passing an act pre-
tending to ban obscene material
from the mails, but that would
in reality be used as a weapon
against working class literature.
As Dutt, well-known author
Of that excellent book, "Fas-
cism and Social Revolution"
says, The ornaments race is
the thermometer of the worlds
rising war fever; and the ver-
dict of that thermometer can
no more be concealed today
than in the years before 1914"
Only the building of a power
full and militant labor movement
can prevent the speedy arrival
of a second imperialist slaughter
toward which the American rul-
ing class is pushing with relent-
less certainty and force.

Terror Indicates
Trend toward
Fascisrn, War

Capitalist Americas swing to
the right" under Roosevelt is
graphically shown In the rapid
rise of violence as indicated by
the number of cases OF dep0rta-
tions, criminal syndicalism cases,
kidnapings by vigilantes, official
and unofficial terrorism, etc, re-
ported by the international La
Dor Defense.
In Los Angeles recently five
Scottsboro meetings were broken
up in one evening by the police.
As the New Masses reports the
drive toward war: 'The transpar-
ency OF President Roosevelt's slo-
gan about taking the profits out
of war was further emphasized
last week when the War Depart
ment, breathing fire and defiance,
strobe into the Senate munitions
hearings and read statement
defending war profits and the
private manufacture of arms"
Fears Of support
The statement makes it clear
that the President is worried
about the profits only when he
is afraid the munitions boys won't
be getting enough, and might
refuse to play ball with the gov
eminent.
To inflame the masses with
the false spirit of war and car
mage, the poisOns of the press
are being pushed to the ut
most. Scare-heads in all papers
on January said that Japan
ese naval officer had been ar
rested after taking pictures Of
all Atlantic ports. Soon this
charge was disproved-but the
press said little about that.
