Revealing Sentence

Here is a revealing sentence from. Mr. Winston's address which he fold how important our basic industries are to the Communist program: “One cannot conceive of successfully building the Progréssive (Wallace) Party, of srganizing an| effective fight against the draft, or in defense of civil liberties, or & successful fight against war and Fascism, unless this section of the working class is fully mobilized.” ‘ ei) Mr. Winston's well chosen phrases are Communist lingo for| the party’s basic labor objective. That is to’ obtain - control of unions in great industries for the purpose of pulling political strikes in behalf of the Soviet Uniop. | Communists did just that here during World War II prior to the time Hitler aitacied Russia.

Only 183; per cent of the mans] bership now is employed in basic industry. Perhaps more signifisaid that only 51 per cent of American Communists were industrial workers at all and of these 11! per cent. were unemployed.
