Communists Are Prepared
to Join Labor Party
Movement

"THE Communist Party is a Party of La
L Dor, of all those who toll And it is
not an ineffective party. In comparison to
its membership and vote, it is the most
effective party that ever existed IN the
United States vote for the Communist Party
registers deeply just think for example, how much
easier it would be to persuade even the present
Congress to adopt the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill tomorrow, if they had been frightened
to death by the ghost of few million Communist
votes last November and by greater mass strike
movement by greater street demonstrations, by
growing mass organizations.
But the Communist Party is a particular kind
cf q Labor Party Our program goes far beyond
UNEMPLOYMENT Insurance which after all is only
an emergency measure. We propose revolutionary
solution Of the crisis of capitalism by abolshing the
whole rotten capitalist system by setting up in its
place a socialist system which would put everyone
at work not at the New Deal slave-labor, but with
the most modern machinery producing the goods
we all need for our own use and not for capitalist
profits We propose to travel the same road already
shown by the glorious victories Of the Russian work
ing class and with rapidly expanding the socialist
system 1t is unfortunately true that the millions
now preparing to break away from the old parties
are not yet prepared to 90 the whole way now with
the Communist program
realistic and 'sectarisn because we bring forward
such far-reachng revolutionary program, But we
are convinced that our program is the only realistic
one, the only program which can solve the problems
now vexing humanity. We sure that all Of you,
all the broad masses, will be convinced in the not
distant future, by experience. We do not propose to
make revolution by ourselves, as the fantastic lies
Of the Dcksten Committee and Hearst tell you, not
by absurd conspiracies not by kidnapping the
hth all Of
which we denounce as police provocations but only
with the majority OF the toilers, by action,
when they have been convinced Of the Communist
program.
And we do not sit idly waiting until the masses
afe>convincsd of our program. We Communists work
and fight together with all of you, among the broad
masses for all these parties demands, for the daily
life-needs of the masses which are already under
stood 1t is not an accident for example that it was
left for u.s. the Communists, to formulate the Work
ers Bill which is the center Of the great mass move
ment represented in this Congress.
go ALSO when it comes to the mass break-away
y from the old parties which will play such great
part in finally forcing the adoption of the Workers
Bill. We would welcome these masses at once into
the Communist Party. But We are reslsts. We know
that for time they will stop short of the full Com
munist program We do not separate ourselves from
this mass movement for that reason. We encourage
and help the movement in every way. We call upon
all of you to do the same thing. We propose that
all of us get together in a great effort for unity,
unity in struggle for mmediats demands against
the capitalists, unity upon the broad basis of the
class of those who labor against those who exploit
labor unity of the poor against the rich, of the
producers against the parasites.
I'VE Communists are prepared to join hands,
with all our force, all our energy, all fighting
capacity, with all who are ready to fight against
Wall Street, against monopoly capital in the forma-
ton of broad mass party to carry this fight
into a fighting Labor Party based upon the trade
unions, the unemployment councils, the farmers
organizations all the mass organizations of tolers
with program of demands and of mass actions to
improve the conditions of the masses at the expense
OF the rich. for measures such as the Farmers
Emergency Relief Bill, the Negro Rights Bill and
the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance
Bill From the speech by Earl Browder at the Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment Insurance.
