 NISM AS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC

January SU, 1S5o. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The repudiation by the writer for the Communist party of Waterbury of the charges that the Colnmun- ist party is anti-Democratic, a party of violence and therefore un-Amer- ican" means nothing unless it is backed by facts.
 For the sake of clearness," the Communist writer quoted Earl Browder on violence: We of the Communist party never did and never will hold to a program of forcible establishment of socialism against the will of the people. Let us not forget that there is no more to prevent the "EarT of Commu- nism from saying it than there is against the South Main street writer from saying: we Commit nists are not opposed to the right of every man to own property. We stand for just that"
 If the "Earl'' is against violence, why did he advocate the winning over of the sailors and soldiers to foment revolution in America?" Sol- dierS and sailors can and must be won for the revolution. All revolu- tions have been made with weapons which the overthrown rulers have relied on for their protection" /" (What Is Communism? p. l65).
 And why did he again advocate revolution for the establishment of Communism? "The Revolution does not simply happen, it must be made" (What Is Communism? p. l63). Judging from the above facts, then, Browder and the South Main street boy are for the principles of Communism and against them-all at the same time. Smart!
 If there be any doubt left about the violent revolutionary program of World Communism the follow ing concluding words of the pro- gram of the Comitern in 1928 should dissolve them:
 "The Communists diSdain to keep their opinions and intentions secret. They declare openly that their pur- pose can only be achieved by the violent overthrow of all orders ot society that have existed up to the present.
 May the ruling classes tremble before Communist revolution.
 Members of the Proletaviat of all countries, unite"
 Then, we are opposed to Com munism not because of the claims of its paid propagandists, such as it's claim of friendship to the poor, but because of the way 1t treats them when it comes into power. Communism boasts that it controls the destlnies of 5,O00,000 people in Soviet Russia. There 1t can be studied in its concrete applications.
 But is there no difference between the Communist party of the United States and Soviet Russia? Let the Communist writer himself give the answer. "The relationship of the Communist party with the party of the Soviet Union 'is no different than its relationship with the Com munist parties of Canada, England All the parties together make up the Communist International. The International meets in the So- viet Union for obvious and simple reasons" what these obvious and simple reasons are he did not make known. We do know, however, that the Communist International under the leadership of Stalin dictates the policies that are to be pursued by the Communist parties in the var ious countries which constitute the international party of Communism. Therefore the American Communist party receives its orders from Mos COW, the seat of the Communist ln- ternationa.l, where Stalin is dictator of the Soviet government. dictator of the Russian Communist party and dictator of world Communism as represented by the Communist ! International. Furthermore, as a constituent part of the Communist international the Communist party of the United States is forced to adopt the revolutionary policy and program of the Communist inter- national. N
 Now, because communist writer suddenly pops up and says that Communism is not anti-D Democratic,
