Capitalists Promised
Aid of Socialists in
Fight on Communism
Two new developments in the "socialist" party point out the rapid fascistization of this third capitalist party.
Saul Rifkin, chairman of the national executive committee of the Jewish "socialist" federation, declared, in effect, that the capitalists' fight on "Communism" met with their hearty approval. He said that the "socialists" could now build the proper kind of organization—that is, an organization acceptable to the capitalists in every feature.
At the same time, announcement was made by the New York "socialist" party that dues would be cut to $1.00 a year. Any capitalist, scab shop owner, fascist, labor faker, by the payment of $1.00, becomes a good standing "socialist."
Frank Crosswaith, a Negro delegate to the special session of the New York "socialist" convention held Sunday, called upon this fascist coterie to mislead the Negro workers. Crosswaith criticized his fellow "socialists" for "not discovering the problem of the American Negro."
