school has placed the Commu
to more eapably lead the masses
in the Northwest, to prevent GER
tain individuals from misleading
organized labo., and to crush
the menace of faseism.
Although there are other
courses which might have been
taught, the students were unan-
imOus in their agreement that
the three courses taught, name
ly, fascism and social-fascism,
trade union theory and tactics,
and Communist Party organiza-
tion, were the best and most
needed at this time.
The class in fascism and social
fascism, one of the first of this
type In the country, might well
be described as long step for
ward in the organized drive
against fascism. 1t comes at a
time when the masses are begin
ming to search for way OF pre-
venting faseism. Fascist trends
in the Roosevelt NRA govern
ment were discussed and, also,
the development of fascism in
the Northwest. 1t was shown
that fascism is not inevitable
but that it is bound to come here
in the u. s. and the Northwest
unless the workers and ruined
middle-class carry on relentless
and determined fight against it.
Political demagOgues and So
cial-democrat leaders may well
gnash their teeth in rage. For
from this school went group of
% working class leaders who I'M
derstood fairly well how to eX-
pose their tactics.
To Build Militant AL Unions
With the ending of this school
a score of Communist Party lead
ers went out to put into prac-
10 greatly increased under
standing of trade union strategy
and tactics gained from an al
most toO-cOndensed source. The
Importance of understanding
trade union work is easily seen
by the fact that organized labor
is and has been for some time
becoming much more militant.
Green, Vol, Lewis and Co. have
controlled the AFL for many
years, but the working class is
tired of this group and its class
collaboration policies. The work
ers are beginning to see that only
through rank and file control
Calf We zaEPeet tire trade Unions
to serve the purpose for which
they were formed.
- The inner party work has been
greatly strengthened by the
much needed course in COmmun-
list Party organization. The Par
ty, guided by students from this
school, will become a greater in
fluence among the active work
ers throughout the Northwest,
in giving them political guild
ance and exposing to them the
fascist tendencies of the ROOse-
welt government.
Labor Party Perspective
The position of the Communist
Partr toward Labor Party was
thoroughly exclaimed in two in
teresting lectures. The students
well understood after these two
lectures that a real labor party
ORGANIZED for the benefit of the
workers, can only be built by in
volving all organized and unOr-
ganized, employed and unem-
ployed workers in a strong unit
ed front led by militant rank and
file workers and the Communist
Party.
The students left determined
to carry out the work of the
Party in organizing and leading
the msases in the Northwest in
the coming struggles, with the
Northwest Congress Against War
and Fascism, May Day. and the
rising tide of strike as immediate
Rerspectives.
A La Hearst
Our beloved" pay-triOt, Will
lam Randolph Hearst, by not
Knowing of the school, has miss
ed one of his greatest chances of
the last few weeks to SANDER the
working class movement. His ar
ticle might run something like
this: Reds prepare attack on
government. Training youth in
bloody revolution to destroy
our institutions. For the last
two weeks the reds have been
conducting a school in Seattle
filling the minds of our youth
with filth and hatred for our
government and democratic in
situations, teaching them to get
what they want by force, vio-
lence and individual acts of ter
ror. We must crush this Com
-munist octupus before it gets
too strong hold in the minds of
the people, etc. Such would be
