EIGHT MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. July 31. 1945 PLAN TO RENEW CLASS WARFARE Break with Truman Adminis tration Next Expected Step: Foster To Lead. Washington, July 31 (U.R) American communists are under new management today and pre paring to renew their class war fare here at home just as soon as Japan is licked. Next expected development Is an open break with the Truman administration. A three-day convention of the Communist Political Association ended Saturday night in New York. The communists an nounced yesterday that they had deposed Earl Browder, their long time leader, and had put William Z. Foster at the head of affairs. Foster is a veteran class war maker. They also announced the death of the CPA and the re birth of the community party a political organization. Cooperation Recen The party went out of the po litical business in May 1944 un der Browder's leadership and turned itself into an "associa tion." At that time it announced a program of cooperation with private enterprise and the Cap italistic Society which distin guishes the economy of the United States. Foster protested at the time and now after 14 months has reversed the 1944 de "cision. All of this was accom plished by aid of a bitter denun ciation of Browder and his poli cies written by Jacques Duclos, a French communist leader, who recently returned to Paris from Moscow. Browder Is being sent by the communists to a spiritual Si beria, although his party mem bership evidently was not can celled. This change In the direc tion of communist thinking is the third spectacular reversal of the party line in four years. Sabotaged Defense From the moment of the out break of the war in September, 1939, until June, 1941, American communists conducted an aggres sive and bitter campaign of par ades, demonstrations and strikes against American aid to Great Britain and, later, production for our own national defense. For days before Hitler's unexpected invasion of the Soviet Union on June 21, 1941, communist-in spired demonstrators had been picketing the White House in protest against the "imperialist war." Their banners contained such slogans as "The Yanks Are Not Coming." When word came that mid night of the German blow at Russia almost immediately the communist party line here be came 100 per cent anti-Hitler nd 100 per cent pro-war. They whooped it up for an all-out na tional effort to lick fascism. Rep. Vito Marcantonio, American la bor party, N. Y who is a leading spokesman for communism in the United States, had for some time been casting solo votes in the house against all national de fense measures. Marcantonio reversed himself as speedily as had the paradcrs. None was louder . after we got into the war than he in demand ing a "second front" to case the German pressure on Russia.
