American Traditions

THE shades of Washington and Lincoln
will be dragged into the service Of
ballyhoo for new war.
Roosevelt's high-powered war propa-
gandists, ably assisted by the whole tribe
of.yelow Hearsts, will whoop it up for war,
deliberately distorting American revolu-
tionary traditions.
Washington recalls the revolutionary
war of the American people against Brit
ish feudal domination Lincoln is the SYM
Dol of the traditions of the Civil War
against slavery. But the aim of the Roose-
welt regime with its $2,0OO,0OO,OO0 war
program is to pervert and blot out these
revolutionary traditions in Defense
Week" for the purpose of speeding war
for Wall Streets aims
To counteract this campaign, every
worker, every enemy of imperialist war
should point out the American revolution
airy traditions, and how, today, these ira
ditions require extension into a war of
the toilers against the tyranny of CAPT
talism, against advancing fascism, and
against all efforts to plunge humanity into
new criminal, imperialist war.

dustry, how the workers could take
over the factories and work full
time, making shoes, hats, caps, blan-
kets, and furniture, while the farm
ers were producing all the goods
and things these workers needed to
eat. Show in a concrete way, that
factories, farms, mines and credit
would be seized by the workers, and
made to serve the masses. Show
how production would be i'm
possible under such a system. This
would at the same time show that
crises would be forever abolished.
Don't take it for granted the
masses understand this simple fact.
The masses don't understand any
thing except hard work and suf-
fering. Hold up to the poor farmer
that he can seize the land, and
don't forget that land hunger has
been one of the greatest factors in
pushingt he world forward. Show
how simple the revolution will really
be.
There is so much of the Daily
that could be better, even though
it is now the best paper in the
country.

Attorney for the Prosecution

A LBERT GOLDMAN, Trotzkyite-Social-
"A ist lawyer for one of the Sacramento
defendants, showed himself in his true
colors last Friday. He exposed his dis
ruptive role in the trial by lining up with
the prosecution against the LID. defense
lawyer, Leo Gallagher
When Gallagher was the victim of
planned attack by the Judge and the
special prosecutor, who is in the pay of
the employers, Goldman, who had been
silent for four days, suddenly piped up
and joined in the attack.
Il am not all in sympathy with Mr..
Gallagher's methods" he said "In fair
ness to my client, want that to be made
clear"
Goldmans stooIpigeon action is the
elimination of his career as a renegade
from Communism. He was expelled from
the Communist Party for descriptive activ-
tiles. He joined up with the Trotzkyites.
Later he left them to join the Socialist
Party, Now he turns up again with the
Trotzkyites in Sacramento.
His conduct at the trial illustrates the
real role of the renegade Trotzkyites. They
disrupt the fight of the workers against
capitalism.

War Moves in Mongolia

NEW light on Japan's ceaseless drive INTO
~ Mongolia and towards the Soviet Dor
der is thrown by Premier Gendun of the
Monaghan Peoples Republic He declares
in an official statement just issued that
when Japanese troops on January 81 seized
the Lake Dor Nor section, the Monaghan
troops, to avoid bloodshed, did not fire, but
retreated, The territory taken by Japan
was recognized as Monaghan land by the
Chinese emperors as far back as 1874.
Yet despite this Japanese imperialism
continues to move on toward Inner and
Outer Mongolia on fve-hundred mile
stretch.
From the Great Wall in China, up on
through Dolon Nor and now Lake Dor Nor,
the aim of Japanese imperialism is to seize
the main routes through the Mongolian
Peoples Republic with the aim, in the
event of their precipitating war, to strike
blow at the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Japanese imperialism has secret
treaty with Hitler Fascism for simuItane-
Gus action from the West in the event
of war.
And now the Roosevelt regime, through
it's State Department takes some blunt
action which the Japanese n1ilitarists will
not be slow in interpreting as favoring
their war moves.
The Friends of the Chinese People have
called for mass protest meeting at Cen
trail Opera House, February 22nd, to rally
the American people against these war
naneuvers in Chahar, and against Amer
lean shipment of arms to be used against
the Chinese people. This meeting should
be a great demonstration against these
latest and most dangerous war moves in
the Far East

Hearst is ruthless enemy of the rank and file
veterans. He has lied about them, slandered them,
heaped contempt upon them and would as willingly
send them today to another mperalst slaughter for
Wall Street profit as he helped send them in 1917.
"Amercanism" a la Hearst is trap for the vet
eran, trap which he should at all costs avoid.

A Glass Labor Party

THE New Militant, organ of the newly
Matched alliance between the Trotsky
sect and the Music crowd. finds that the
Communist Party "is trying to create
reformist labor party in the United States
They accuse us of adopting the line of
the Socialist Party "Old Guard" which
also calls for "a Labor Party"
In view of the crystal clear line laid
down by the c. P. Central Committee in
its resolution adopted at its recent sessions
(printed in the Daily Worker, January 26),
this is only deliberate distortion on the
part of these slippery gentlemen.
What kind of a Labor Party does the
Communist Party want? Any kind? No
The Communist Party says plainly that it
wants truly working class Labor Party,
built up from below on the basis Of the
workers in the trade unions.
It wants Labor Party that will help
the masses along the road of class struggle,
a Party which in its revolutionary mass
struggle for immediate demands goes be-
yond the limits Of the interests of capital"
Both the Trotsky- Music crowd and the
S. P. "Old Guard" have distinguished
themselves in action as the hangers-on of
the upper, reactionary A. F. of L. officials
The Revolutionary" phrase-mongering
of the one, and the open opportunism of
the other conceal persistent support for
the policies of the William Greens, the
VOLS, and the rest. Music helped defeat
the Toledo strike, Cannon aided Gov. Olson
in Minneapolis and the S. P. cold Guard"
helped German break the textile strike

emphasized by the Communist Party reso-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-02-07

Independent class struggle policy
which goes beyond the interests of capital
that the Musteites and S. P. cold Guard"
find common ground.
AT every step, on one pretext or an
other, they will always yield the interests
of the workers to the interests of capital
That is why both are trying to block
the Communist Party line for the advance
of mass party, basing itself on an I'M
swerving fight for working class interests
against the interests of capital

Small Farmers Lose
Land to Bankers
sallisaw. Okla

SalllSaW, Okla,
Comrade Editor
just now people in Sequoyah
Country are wondering how they
are going to live another year. Tens
Of thousands of acres of land have
been taken out of production here
by the mortgage companies, Land
cannot be rented, yet the farmer is
told that he should raise what he
needs to eat another year. The
best land is beyond the reach of the
poor farmers.
In short, the poor farmer is land
less, yet he is told that if he does
not raise what he needs to eat
another year, he must starve
take it that the same conditions
face the poor farmers over the
entire United States, to greater
or less extent.
Even if the poor farmer has land,
he must have money or credit to
get the wherewithal to make an
other crop. Under capitalism, the
money is owned by financiers and
credit is likewise owned by the same
bunch. And under capitalism, when
the landlord has a crop planted, it
is not for the feeding Of humanity;
it is for profit, which purpose often
works directly opposite to that of
feeding the people, as for instance,
the destruction of hogs, cotton,
wheat for profit, under Roosevelt.
This brought profit to the landlord,
but misery and starvation for the
poor farmer and wage Garner.
Every time write what think is
a good article, you come back at
me by saying that should be con-
crete and not deal in the abstract.
Now comrades, take that advice
home to the Daily Worker. Tell the
masses plainly how this crop situa-
ton would be handled under the
Soviet America. Perhaps the masses
are not so far from being radical,
if you would only show them con-
cretely how Soviet America would
enable them to live better. Much
of the stuff that comes out in the
Daily" is Greek to the masses.

Party Life
Peoria Workers
Form Daily Worker
Readers Club

/
THROUGH a Negro comrade
L in this city, to whom the
Daily Worker is being mailed,
another Negro comrade and
white comrade have gotten to-
gether and have set up a
DAILY Worker Readers Club"
Of three.
None Of them would have been
able to pay full subscription price
regularly, but all three have agreed
to form this club of three, reading
the paper together. After reading
the paper, they will pass it on to
friend whom they will try to get
to form another club of three, as
above. Next month they will each
pay Is cents, their portion of the
rs cents monthly subscription price,
and continue to pay monthly, read
the paper and pass a copy on to
friends whom they will also try to
induce to form the club of three.
We are going to follow this up
by mimeographing the Daily Work
err Readers Club of Three" plan for
general distribution among the
workers, with occasional samples of
the paper. Due to the fact that
many workers are hard pressed for
funds, this method perhaps will
prove effective in getting them to
take it not as individuals at COM
paratively greater cost, but collec-
lively greater cost, but collectively
by three, spreading the monthly
cost among them. In some cases
half-yearly or yearly subscriptions
may be secured on q like basis,
spreading the cost among the groups
Of three.
In addition to distributing the
paper, getting workers to read it,
this will also create the basis for
small discussion groups, which may
later form the basis for a street
nucleus, for shop connections, etc.
This plan is being placed before our
unit, then to the section and the
I District.
If you on the staff think 1t ad-
viSable, I would suggest that you
print such portion of this letter as
you think necessary to establish
such circulation and agitational
plan in other parts of the country.
am sure it will help solve some
of our problems as to the paper.
Hundreds of workers want to get
the paper and read it, but they
simply do not have quite enough
money to get it regularly. This plan
will help them cut down the cost
and also offers us way out to get
to the ear of many who could not
take it otherwise, and in addition,
helps to draw them into collective
discussion and activity,

The Gentleman Chairman"

New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
Mr.. Algernon Lee, so-called So
cialist, a gentleman chairman Of
Madison Square Garden who likes
to slug peoples heads, a boaster of
democracy who refuses to give the
floor to workers while making a
united front with fascists, this
same gentleman again showed his
colors at Cooper Union when he
said Stain and Hitler are alike
and compared the execution of
counter revolutionary terro rist
White Guards in the Soviet Union
with that of terrorist execution of
workers in Hitler Germany.
What? No Socialism in the So
Wet Union? Well, Mr., Algernon
Lee, there is no such Socialism
there as you peddle from the Rand
School show window, but Socialism
that workers are building with iron
and steel!
Thus while you, Mr.. Lee, defend
the White Guards, the enemies of
Socialism, the working class of the
Soviet Union, under the leadership
of the Communist Party, is defend
ing Socialism. A WORKER.

Conqueror of Canzoneri Is
Considered Strong Foe
for Local Lad.

Chuck Woods, the Detroit light
weight who stepped into national
prominence on Feb. 26 by trimming
Tony Canzoneri, former worlds
champion, will face Tracy Cox,
popular local mauler, on the Her
cules A. C. boxing card May 10, at
the Armory.
The WOODSTOCK battle will be for
ten rounds. A supporting program
calling for four or five scraps will
be arranged.
Woods, curly haired Serbian
whose real name is Charlie Vutci,
has split even in two ten-rounders
with Canzoneri, former holder of
the lightweight and junior welter-
weight titles. He won a close scrap
in one meeting and lost on points
in a second clash. He is one of
smaller number Of glove throwers
ever to whip the former champion.
CanZoneri meets Lou Ambers for
the lightweight title in New York
the same night that Cox and Woods
come to blows here.
Lloyd Carter, Hercules A. C.
matchmaker, believes that he will
be offering local boxing fans a
made-to-order natural" in the May
10 scrap, asserting that any one
strong enough to whip Canzoneri is
good enough to force Tracy to the
limit. Cox recently returned from
the South. His last fight was in
New Orleans three weeks ago, where
he halted Pete Nebo in six rounds.
He has won 16 of his last % bouts.
