Stain Said:
Causes of Inadequacies.
THE first cause lies in the circum
i stance that our Party organiza
tions have not overcome, at least VI
to the present, some residue of th'
war period, a period which belong!
to the past, but which has still lef
some traces of militarism in the
Party in the heads Of our func

In my opinion one of these resid

Hendin Expulsion
Denying His Appeal

The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers Party has sent the
following letter to Leon Hendin, q
former member of the Workers Party
in New York, who appealed to the c,
f. G. against his expulsion from the
Party:
Leon Hendin, New York City.
Dear Comrade: Your letter ad-
dressed to the Central Executive
Committee of the Party complain
ing because Of the manner Of your
expulsion from the Party was con-
sidered by G. E. C. and / am in
structed to make the following re-
ply:
Upon receipt Of the information
that J. B. Salutsky had called a
meeting in New York City for the
organization of Communist Edu-
cational League, the G. E. G. mott
fed the New York district organ
izer that any member Of the Party
who participated in this meeting
would be expelled from the Party
and directed him to notify those

speak at the meeting to this effect.
Undoubtedly in the interview on
December 10th with Comrade
Lifschitz, to which you refer in
your letter, you were advised Of
the decision Of the G. Z. G.
Comrade Lifschitz later reported
that In spite of the warning issued
by the @ z. c. of the Party you had
participated in the meeting of the
Communist Educational League,
and the c. r. G. Of the party there
upon directed your expulsion from
the party.
Since the question at issue was
one which was handled directly by
the G. <. c. and involved the dis
cipline Of the Party, in fact that
your act was violation Of the d.
rection Of the c. E. c., there was
no further neyl Of action on the
part Of the branch. and the G. K.
G. therefore believes that the ac-
ton Of the branch was justified and
insofar as II Is concerned, the mat

FARMERS DRIVEN

Montana Farmer Tells

To the DAILY WORKER; "In the
Coolidge plan to relieve the financial
difficulty of the Northwest, the only
hope offered the farmer is ~ get

a DAILY WORKER correspondent
from Big Sandy, Montana.

Wall Streets ''Normalcy."
cat the time when the farm mort
gage debt of the nation had grown to
$4,003, 767, 192.00, the Quack Eco
nomic Doctors were playing to the
favor Of the bankers Of Wall Street
in a campaign for "normalcy" and
bowling for prices to come down,
which of course, made money worth
more when valued in labor and farm
produce. The effect this had on
the farmer and home-owner was to
reduce their capacity to pay their
debt. As prices came down it took
more produce or labor to make dol
lar, and in that respect it tended to
elevate the mortgaged indebtedness.
For, as produce came down money
went up, and the indebtedness grew
in proportion to its relative value to
labor and produce.
Inevitably the farmers cannot pay
this increased Indebtedness when
their markets are ruined. Conse-
quently farm loans become frozen Sc
curities. And the country banks
break with their vaults filled with
these frozen securities.

'But the 'Quacks' have a solution
of the problem for the bankers. They
will, with the aid of the government,
procure loan of a hundred and fifty
million dollars to revive those frozen
securities thus increasing the burden
of debt in the hope that the farmer
will ultimately pay but ignoring the
fact that they are adding more weight
to the cargo that is already sinking
the ship.

The tribute to Woodrow Wilson as
published below was written by Mrs.
Arthur B. Fowler (nee Miss RATHER
inc BrOnson), a missionary living at
Syria during the World War. "Kitty"
Bronson as she will be known to some
Of our older Smyrnians was flower
maid at the wedding of Miss Elva
Wilson, daughter of John R. Wilson,
to Mr.. James Wheeler, of Salem, N.
j., which took place at Belmont Hail.
Since she married she has been in
missionary work during the World
War, endured the hardships, famine
even Turkish cruelty. Her soul was
even Court Martial. His soul was
therefore stirred by the need of world
democracy and permanent peace for
which our late President Wilson gave
his life. The poem follows:
ON TIL EDEATH OF WOODROW WILSON
Ring soft. Oh Sabbath Bells life is ending
Low be your chant upon the winter air.
Say to the world "A great Mans souls as
cending,
The leader whom we loved is resting there
He is at rest at last.the tired eyes closing,
Eyes that beheld vision from afar:
That master mind from weary toll reposing
Has found the peace no strife of tongues
can mar.
Still lie the hands that long our course di-
rected.
Through dark uncertain days of stormy
strife,
Safe through the night. while God our land
protected
And saved from harm our homes, our ma
tion's life.
Silent we stand in awe and meditation,
flushed in the presence of our mighty dead.
Oh, Father God grant that our striving nation
May learn to walk the way this leader led.
Oh. scholar. teacher. statesman-high uphold
ing
Thy grand ideal. thy work shall never cease
Till years to come, centuries unfolding
Shall learn the way of brotherhood and
peace.

That was a remarkable per-
fOrmance in the House of Rep
resentatives, presumably a Re-
publican body, when the Garner
Democratic tax measure was
adopted by vote of 222 to 1876,
says the Morning News. The
Republican insurgents voted
with the Democrats.
1t was a highly discreditable
outcome of the struggle to re-
duce taxes. Those who forced
the Garner bill through the
House knew very we'll that they
are wasting time and that such
a measure cannot become a law.
1t will have to be approved by
the Senate, and even if it were
the veto of President COllidge
would block the way.
The passing of the Garner bill
means delay, and it is playing
the rankest kind of politics.
Those Democrats and insurgents
will have to answer whether
they want reduced taxes, wheth-
er they are acting in good faith.
The presumption, judging by
their conduct, is that would an
swer both questions in the mega
tive.

GIGANTIC PROJECT TO MAKE
LEWES A GREAT TERMINAL
PLANS CALL FOR TWELVE PIERS
EACH TO BE 1900 FEET LONG
Survey Being Made With the View of
Inauguration Work As Soon In
Future As Will Be Possible

Final surveys were made recently
for the terminals which are to be
built at Lewes and which will make
this one of the largest seaports of
the country, provided present plans
and hopes are realized. The project,
it is said, is backed by c. w. YOx,
engineer and financier, who built the
terminals in the harbOr of San Pedro
and other large cities. Mr.. Yox was
in Lewes and made a preliminary sur
vey, and his engineers are making the
final surveys and plans. The Specifi-
cations call for twelve piers, each one
being 1,500 feet long and 300 feet
wide. According to the surveys the
docks will be located on the Delaware
Bay about one mile south of Lewes,
near the present site of the upper fish
factory, which will make a safe place
for landing and also afford deep water
that will accommodate ships of any
size. Already arrangements have been
made with the Norwegian and Ameri-
can Line to handle their passengers
and freight, and it is stated that con-
tracts will soon be made with many
others which will make Lewes one of
the big terminals of the country. The
Pennsylvania railroad, it is expected,
when the terminal is completed, will
build a double track from the Har-
rington junction, through Milford, to
Lewes, in order to handle the extra
traffic. Lewes is at fever heat on ac-
count of the glowing prospects ahead
for the town, as the project seems a
certainty.

and timely illustration of the fact
that there has always been, and is
now, difference and a divergence
between the basic ideas of the
Democratic party and the basic
ideas of the Republican insurgent
movement.
If the Democrats wish, and many
of them do wish, to protract this
session in order to bring forward
various new proposed statutes de-
signed to make issues between them
and the President in the coming
campaign, the insurgent RepuD-
licans in the House If Representa-.
tives are likely to refuse to take
part in that effort.
Pursuing Own Ideas.
They are not quarreling with the
Democrats or disputing the sincerity
Of the Democrats. They are pursu-
ing their own ideas AMI their own
purposes.
They leaders wish, as they say
and as they also in fact think and
mean, to go out to the voters and
give them explanations and exhorta.
tons in the way Of cultivating the
ground for the November ballot
harvest.
In other words, it is thought that
the insurgent Republicans, instead
of staying here to help make poll
teal capital for the Democrats,
would many of them rather go out
into the broad waving fields of the
Mississippi Valley and address
themselves directly to the task Of
raising up new voters for their
new third party" and for their new
special La Toilette independent
Presidential candidacy.
Thus with the regular Republi-
cans in the House ready to adjourn
for their own reasons, and with
the insurgent Republicans getting
ready to be ready to adjourn also
Tor reasons of their own, it may
well be that the Democrats in the
House will also call 1t a session
work and decide to joint the STAN
pede in the homeward direction.
