PARTY LINE CHANGES
IN, Y. World TeIegram)

For mental gymnastics there is
nothing that rivals the corkscrew con-
volutionS of the Communist party
line.
Along about daylight Sunday, Mos
COW time, when Hitler's bombers and
tanks swept across the Soviet borders
the party line turned an abrupt
about face. But our American Bolshe-
VikS didn't hear about it soon enough
to prevent the pre-dated Sunday is
sue of their Daily Worker and the
June "a" issue of their weekly New
Masses from going to press with
articles ridiculing British imperialist
rumors of a prospective German
Russian clash.
By the time the American Com
munists had edited Mondays issue OF
The Daily Worker, they had orienteo
themselves to the new direction. In
three columns of blackface type down
the front page the Communist Party
of America stated its position. No
where in the statement could be founc
those well-worn phrases, "Wall Street
warmongerS" and capitalist butchers
No. Hitler was again in class by
himself as the archenemy of man
kind.
Nor of course, were there repetitions
of recent attacks on the program OF
lend-leaSe aid to stop the NaziS. TIC
the contrary, there was a clarion CAL
for all Americans who cherish peace
and liberty to rally to the cause OF
the Socialist fatherland.
This latest somersault is no heater
than the one the Commies executed
in August, 1889, when Hitler and
Stain signed their treaty of non
aggression and friendship. Prior there
to the Muscovites in this country had
been agitating for collective security
against Facism" and "united front
for democracy" But Stain and
Hitler made their deal and the party
liners were able, without blinking an
eye, to hail the pact as "a mighty
weapon in the struggle for peace"
Communist policy has been no less
inconsistent in the American labor
movement For many years the slime
was to denounce all American trade
unions as tools of the capitalist bosses
But then came orders from Moscow
to join up-and they joined, seeking
strategic positions of power, using
unions to promote discord and ad-
vance the cause of the Moscow For
eign Office.
Another shift in labor policy is now
in the cards. Instead of inspiring
strikes in defense industries, the
Commies probably will start agitatine
for the speed-up and stretch-out and
anything else calculated to increase
production-especially If they think
there is any chance Of cutting Russia
in on lend-lease materials.
Our guess is that American workers
will not be deceived, but will get or
with their duty of roofing out these
foreign agents in their midst.
Let's not forget that in the las'
World war the Commies made 6
separate peace with the kaiser al
Brest-Litovsk, leaving their estwhilt
Allies to stand the whole weight o.
the German war machine on thu
Western front. The bolos will do i
again if they think they can save
their hides that way.

Sometimes it seems to me that the
isolationists are deliberately trying to
drive the President into seeking a
declaration of war, rather than seek
ing to keep the United States from
about participation in the war.
The Lease-Lend act, with its pro-
visions for aid to England and other
nations resisting the Nazis, represented
for most of us an effort to throw the
resources of this great country be-
hind the nations opposing Hitler, but
without our about participation in
the war itself. 1t was predicated on the
belief that Nazi aggression must be
halted or sooner or later we would
have to stop it ourselves by going to
war, and the Lease-Lend program was
an effort to help stop it without war.
AS the NaA drive in the Atlantic
by submarine, plane and surface raider
to destroy shipping and strange Eng
land increased in intensity, it became
more and more clear that mere manu-
facture of munitions and their delivery
to docks here would not be enough
d1u w EI1lS4dllO W CiietU1C 1ACA W oVOP
| the NaziS.
The drive on Russia. while it offered
temporary breathing spell to England
in that bombing attacks on its cities
were halted, nevertheless greatly in
creased the potential danger if Hitler
succeeds in destroying the Red army
in a few weeks and can then go all
out in an attack on England with his
Eastern front secure, England's danger
and consequently the threat to us, are
greatly increased.
1t is in view of these facts, it seems
to me, that the President ordered the
Navy on Atlantic patrol duty to help
keep the sea lanes free. No one out
side the Navy high command knows
exactly what that patrol has done,
but obviously it has helped in the
battle of the Atlantic.
The Presidents speech of May 81,
in which he said this nation would
not permit Nazi occupation of bases
threatening the Americas, was another
step toward making our aid more eff
fective. And more recently, he has
ordered the United States Army and
Navy to occupy and protect Iceland,
leaving British troops there free for
combat duty elsewhere.
Our isolationists have opposed every
one of these moves bitterly, contend
ing they constituted acts of aggressive
war and that the President had no
constitutional right to take these steps
without a declaration of war by Con-
gress.
! I am not enough of lawyer to
argue the legal technicalities, but it
appears to me that the President has
been consistently trying to accom-
plish our united purpose, namely,
keeping England and her navy from
being conquered and halting NaA ag-
erosion before it gains free access
to the Atlantic, by steps and methods
short of about participation in the
war by the United States.
That, Presumably, is what the isola-
tionists desire, yet they have fought
that policy every step of the way,
and their continued opposition has the
effect of forcing the Administration
toward a more and more belligerent
program.
