fholitical role of labor. It will energetically promote
the unity of action of the American working class, especially
the united front of struggle from below of Communists and non-
Communists in the shops, factorics, communities, ctc., and

and eliminate monopoly-capitalist rule in order to advance
to Socialism. That is why it is destined to be the leader

and eventual leader. Only this leadership can supply the
;
consistency, the strength of organization, and the cxperience
in struggle which is necessary for winning the historic
fight against the monopolics.
