URGES
USE HOME SUGAR
DIXON POINTS OUT INDUSTRIES
VALUE TO FARMERS AND
TO STATE AS WHOLE

Helena.-Governor Joseph M. Dixon
has issued a strong appeal to Montana
people to help build Montana's pros
perity by using Montana-made sugar
exclusively. He says:
my attention having recently been
called to the campaign that has been
put on by the people in some localities
of Montana for the more extensive use
of Montana Products, of course | I'm
wholly sympathetic with the purpose
involved. In this same connection, /
have often wondered why the people
in the various localities of the state
have not been more emphatic in their
urging the use of one Of the main
products of Montana agricultural in
dustry, and that is our home grown
and manufactured Montana beet sugar.
For years | have been convinced that
one of the real factors in the develop
ment of the irrigated sections of his
state was the growing of sugar beets.
The big sugar factory at Billings has
been one of the institutions that has
lone as much to stabilize agricultural
conditions in central Montana as any
other one thing.
eLast year Montana produced over
GOO, 900 bags of beet sugar. During the
same period Montana consumed a
total of 367, 900 bags of sugar, of which
PAT. 900 bags were u own state pro-
duction, the other 10000 bags being
imported cane sugar.
'eThese Montana sugar beet farmers
are paid for their beets on the base
of the net selling price of sugar. Ow-
ing to the freight rate situation, the
uga from each ton of sugar beets
raised by Montana farmers gives to
the beet grower an increase of Sl.l3
ton for his beets on the sugar sold
within the state. Last year Montana
farmers cultivated and sold the beets
from 10000 acres of irrigated land
and I understand that for the present
season more than 10000 acres of beets
have been planted.
ssThe fact that last year we had to
export beyond the boundaries OF the
state more than one-half on M~ontana's
sugar beet product in order to find
a market, while at the anne time the
people of Montana imported into the
state 10000 bags of cane sugar, does
not tend to economical growth of the
state. Both the chemist and the house
wife who has tried the experiment
fell us that there is no difference
chemically, physically or in any other
between pure beet sugar and pure
cane sugar. Why should not the peo-
pie of Montana %patronize their own
industry by using this year 100
300 bags of pure beet sugar instead of
again importing that amount of cane
sugar. In this way we can encourage
q basic industry in this state which
the end will see sugar factories
planted along the lower Yellowstone,
he Milk River valley, the Sun River
ralley and in the fertile irrigated val
'eys of western Montana.
eff we are in earnest in u cam
to patronize home industry and
the same time help the agricultural
of Montana, let US take spec
al pride in seeing that MOntana's beet
is used to the exclusion of all

Look at this table and see what it
shows! First, out of Is Party Dis
tricts, seven districts have reported
the tabulation OF branch reports for the
month of March. That means that we
have eight District Organizers who are
not efficient enough to even carry out
a little routine work which has been
assigned to them. Then look at the
picture Of the way the branches of the
Party function. In the districts which
reported there were 457 branches. Out
Of these, about one-half were interest
ed enough in the Party work to fill
out report card requiring about fif-
teen minutes work and send it to the
District Organizer.
Then take rtep further and come
down to the membership. In the
branches reporting to the seven dis
tricts which sent in their reports there
were 1926 Party members. OF these
Party members, 5,054 mad paid their
dues to date, and close to 5000 were
from one to three months in arrears
in making dues payments. II that the
best we can do as Party? Can we
find only eight District Organizers out
Of fifteen who will send in their re-
ports monthly and one-ffth of the Par
ty branches who will send their re-
port cards to the District Office, and
only an eighth over half of the mem
bership who will pay their dues reg
ularly?
These facts show that our Party is
not paying enough attention to the
organizational efficiency. Efficiency
within our organization means more
efficient organization in conducting
the work among the masses of this
country. We may be assured that if
we are only one-fourth efficient in our
organizational work, then we are even
less efficient. in our organizational
work outside of the Party.
First Step Toward Remedy.
The first step toward remedying this
condition is to create an organ in
every Party unit which will be charg-
ed with the duty Of developing organ

Party is the Membership Committee.
The Central Executive Committee at
a recent meeting approved the recon-
mendation that every branch, City

mittee at once create Membership
Committee.
This Membership Committee must
consist of Party members who take
their duty as Communists seriously
and who are ready to give their time
and energy, even at some sacrifice. to
the work of improving the efficiency
Of the Party organization.

mittee cannot be left in the hands Of

The Dead And The Lining

John Fitzpatrick, president Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, has at last taken his place
along side of Samuel Gompers. Since Fitzpatrick
discarded his policy of independent political ac-
ton by fighting the organization of the Federated
Farmer-Labor Party, on July 3rd OF last year,
be has been travelling very rapidly to the right,
swiftly and surely into the camp and arms of the
most reactionary labor bureaucrats stranglng the
trade union movement
At Sundays meeting of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, Fitzpatrick threw the last spadeful of
earth on the grave of whatever little progressvism
that he might have been accused of. Fitzpatrick
told the central labor body to drop all notions Of
independent working class political action and to
20 back to the staid old bankrupt policy of ''re-
ward your friends and punish your enemies" In
practice this policy of Mr.. Gompers has proved
TO the workers and farmers of the country one of
rewarding their enemies and Furnishing themselves.
1t was the inevitable step for Fitzpatrick to take,
once he fought the organization of a genuine ma
tional farmer-labor party. Sad as this truth may
be, it is precisely what the Communists said
would happen to Fitzpatrick The course of
development of the class conflict, war which has
its battles inside the labor movement we'll as
in the ranks of the capitalist class and between
the workers and farmers, inevitably drives the
wavering hesitating elements to the right or to
the left Having betrayed the farmerlabor politi-
cal movement last July 3rd, having chosen
Gompers in preference to the great mass of work
ers and farmers and their Communist spokesman,
it was obvious that Fitzpatrick would swing to
the extreme right.
But there is certain measure of bitter historical
Justice and atonement in another event of far
greater Importance to the workers and farmers
Of Illinois and the rest of the country that occurred
SSs- the same day at Peoria. While Fitzpatrick
was signing on the dotted line of the death war
rant for his feintest pretense at progressivism,
there was being organized the first genuine mass
farmerlabor party in Illinois. The disappearance
of all the farmer-abor paper groups and puppets
of sundry labor takers and so-called progressives
and the rise of living organization, virile pOliti
cal party, of the workers and appropriated farm
ers in one of the key states Of the country is an
event of paramount Importance. 1t bids fair to
lend considerable impetus to the farmerlabOr
movement sweeping the land for the st. Paul con
vention. The simultaneous announcement of the
collapse of the last remnant of prOgressivism of
Fitzpatrick and Fitzpatrickism with the declara-
tion of principles of the fighting party of the
workers and farmers only dramatizes this wei
come move in the direction of the achievement of
complete working and farming class victory.

By c. z. RurHENnERe.


Executive Secretary, Workers Party,
1T would be great achievement for
! our party if we could double the
strength of the party organization
during the next two months. Every
IIarty member would hail that as a
great victory for the Communist
movement in the United States.
1t is possible for us to do that.
While we may not be able to double
the membership of the party in two
months time, we can double the
strength Of our party in efficiency of
working power during the next two
months.
At the present time the party or
ganization is working on about one
fourth of its potential Strength. Thru
an aggressive and energetic cam
paign to increase our organizational
efficiency and to increase the mum
Der Of members who actually partici-
pate in the work of the party organ
ization, we can at least double the
amount Of work which we are doing.
An illustration Of the way the par
ty is working as an organization is
given in the figures which the ma
tional Office has received from the
district organizers covering the
branch reports for the month of
March. The following table contains
these figures:
