apparatus. Those comrades who
maintain that our people remain too
long in the apparatus are wrong.
It is rather the contrary which is
the case.
Even in the Contra! Committee,
in which the qualified Party workers
are gathered together, 90 out of 1874
responsible workers have been work
ing for less than a year. Thus the
Party workers do not only not re-
main too long, but have not even
time for the preparation required
if they are to work fully into the
great apparatus of the present day.
We, comrades, are "provincials. /"
In Petrograd we have Just begun
with the reelection of the collective
bureaus, Of the secretaries; we are
of the opinion that this is in accord
ance with the spirit of democracy,
and that by this means the appara-
tus receives the necessary renewal
from below. But it is utterly wrong
to condemn the apparatus wholesale.
Bureaucracy Must Be Abolished.
A short time ago we conquered
The Far East, and we had to form
new government. 1t was neces-
sary to create Soviet apparatus,
a Party apparatus, and an economic
apparatus, etc. At the beginning we
naturally did this by appointing
suitable persons thru the medium of
our apparatus. And what else could

the term almost as much as an in
vective as the term "Chekist" is
used by the Mensheviki, then we step
forward and beg the Party to count
us among The ranks of the unhappy
"Party workers" You may as well
know, comrades, that when the term
PARTY workers" is used, the Central
Committees of the Party is meant;
the Central Committee Of the Party
stamps its mark upon everything.
When we turn to statistics, we see
that in the whole Of this, our ter
rible apparatus of the Union of
Socialist Republics, which comprises
one-sixth Of the globe, there are
$4,000 Party workers, the greater
number of which are technical work
ers, including a large number of
retiring and honest worker bees.

have been placed by the Party. For

an official and Party worker in the
the despicable Menshevist machine,
it is no disgrace whatever to be

apparatus Of the Communist Party.
Cannot Wholly Condemn Apparatus.
Comrade Lenin censured the state
apparatus, the whole Soviet ma
chine. He said that it was still in
part the old Czarist apparatus,
which we had not succeeded in re-
modelling, and he censured this ap-
paratus so severely that there was
no point left uncriticized.
And to whom did nc appeal? To
the Party apparatus.
He submitted definite plan for
the reorganization of the workers
and peasants control, and of the

we have done? How could we gov
ern the state otherwise
We do not want to assert, COM
rades, that ideal conditions obtain
amongst MS. 1t goes without saying
that we have our faults like every
one else, and our apparatus is no
more immune from rust than other
machinery; it must be cleaned and
polished, re-ciled, some few small
parts replaced. But there is no need
to throw the baby away with the
bath water.
And it is here that Comrade
Trotzky commits his greatest error,
for he is beginning to support
people who want to 90 away with
the main core of the Party appa-
ratus.
What is the meaning Of the
phrase: 1.-THE Party must subordi-
nate itself to its apparatus?" Has
the reverse been the case up to now2
Comrade Kalinin was indeed right
when he said, during a discussion
at Moscow: "a few years ago the
Menshevild called us committee
workers, and in the mouths of the
Mensheviki this was severe invec-
tive; and now you are implying
with Party workers the same as
the Mensheviki meant at that time
with committee workers"
Yes, comrades, there is much in
our apparatus which must be i'm
proved, renewed and purified. Bu-
reaucracy must be removed. But
those who want to depose the appa-
ratus wholesale must be lut in their
place, for our Party apparatus is
the right hand of the Party.

Workers School
Holds Celebration
For It's NeU Home

NEW YORK, April 2.-The
Workers School recently held a
gala celebration in honor of its re-
moval to the more spacious and
elaborate quarters at 125 Fourth
avenue.
E. B. Jacobson, the chairman,
stressed the necessity for all mem
bers Of the Party and sympathizers
to promote the scope and welfare
of the Workers School. He urged
all Comrades to attend the follow
ing three most essential courses now
given at the School: Marxism,
given by Herman Simpscn; History
of the Three Internationales, by
Ludwig Lore, and History Of the
Trade Union Movement, by Solon de
Leon.
Charles Krumbein, the District
Organizer, praised the New York
comrades who started the organ
ization Of School on their direct
initiative. He urged that the COM
rades "boost. the School all the time"
Greetings were also presented by
Clarence Miller, representing the
Young Workers League, and by
Jack Jampolsky, representing the
Trade Union Educational League.
Herman Simpson, the Schools
lecturer on Marxism, spoke on Tea
pot Dome.
The last speaker was Juliet
Stuart Poyntz, who gave clear
presentation of the educational con-
ditions in Soviet Russia at present.
The School must aim TO raise the
level Of the rank and file TO intelli-
gent and responsible thinking action
along political and industrial lines,
she said.

! HOUSING PROBE
Articles Inspire Big
Investigation

Additional evidence that the Wig
orous campaign the DAILY WORK
Err has been carrying on for better
housing conditions in the Negro
quarter of the city is brought out
IN the announcement of the United
Charities of Chicago, that, inspired
by the DAILY WORKER INVES-
TIGATION, they are instituting an
investigation of their own.
Il have been following the ar
ticles in the DAILY WORKER
about Negro housing conditions with
great interest,"" Edwin Jones, finan-
cial secretary of the united Chari-
ties, told the DAILY WORKER re-
Porter. II have clipped them all.
llThey are thoro and believe the
Ilstatements of the miserable condi-
ltions of that district are true. I
have started a housing investiga-
tion Of the Englewood district and
we are going to use the articles
from the DAILY WORKER as a
basis for our investigation of the
southwestern portion Of the city.
Il shall be glad to give the
DAILY WORKER full access to the
reports of our investigators.
Mr.. Jones then discussed charity
activities, saying possibly the Urban
League caters so much to the large
employers because they have to in
order to get enough money to exist.
When told that the DAILY
WORKER feels that there is some-
thing fundamentally wrong with a
society which makes necessary such
organizations as the United Charities
which in small way cares for the
victims of faulty social system
instead of trying to change the sys-
tenn as a whole, Mr.. Jones replied (:
"The DAILY WORKER is trying
to do socially what we are trying
to do with individuals. We are care
ful how we spend our money on the
lndividual-that is, we. try to get
him a job and permanently set him
on his feet instead of just giving
him basket of food occasionally.
| guess the DAILY WORKER is
working on the same principles in
the social field-trying to fundamen-
tally better the government instead
of instituting a few petty reforms"

France Wants Her

PARIS, April 2.-Faced by the
fact that France with her 10000, 900
inhabitants and declining birth rate
is living next door to Germany with
her 60,000,000 inhabitants and an
increasing birthrate, the French gov
ernment is making frantic effort to
encourage large families. Among the
measures adopted by way OF "en-
couragement" are the following
Large families enjoy special cheap
rates when travelling; fathers Of
large families are excused from mill
tary service. A proposal is now on
foot for giving heads Of large fami-
lies more than one vote at elections
The one thing, however, that the
government does not do is to solve
the problem Of where such a large
family is to live. The landlords Of
Paris and other larger cities are
quite as inexorable as in America.
They don't want large families in
their houses.

Thirst for Blood
Necessary Quality
For Citizenship
BY LUDwELL DENNY


BROOKLYN, N. Y, April 2.-Tho
the legal right of aliens to claim ex-
elnption from the draft was recog-
nized during the war, hundred per
cent judges who fought the war from
a swivel chair are now taking out
their spite on such foreign born resi-
dents, applying for u. S. citizenship.
Supreme Court Justice Joseph AS
pinall here has denied citizenship to
] applicants ON the ground they
claimed exemption from military
service.
Can't Claim Exemption.
Aspinall is not the only judge who
is prOstituting his position to his pre-
JUDGES in this manner, but he is one
of the most notorious in the New
York district. Federal judges usually
have been less guilty than justices of
the state court.
The IL victims came up before As
pinall with 200 other applicants for
citizenship. Justice of the war;
phobia brand was swift.
Judge: You claimed exemption in
the draft?
Victims: Yes.
Judge, curtly: Dismissed! Pass
out pass out! Next!
Nine applicants who were unlucky
enough to have been born in the land
of the czar were especially displeas-
ing to his honor who sees red when
ever Russia is mentioned. Four were
turned down because Of draft exemp-
ton and five whose reading did not
please the embodiment of the law.
= Americanism De Luxe.
One old Jewish resident got his re-
ward because he bought a liberty
bond. When he acknowledged that
he could not read English, the judge
was stumped, but only for minute.
Judge: Did you buy bonds during
the war?
virtuous Patriot: Yeh, fifty dollars
worth.
Judge: MN. Well-Try to learn a
little more English. I'll let you in
because you bought bond.
Two applicants were rejected be-
cause in the judges opinion they
were mot we'll disposed"

MEXICO CITY, April 2.-No
wonder de la Huerta lost out. He
had such a dumbbell press agent.
This press agent, Jorge Prieto Lau-
rens, bid for Sammy Gompers' sup
port by telling him that de la Huerta
was fred"
Jorge, as Jorge Prieto Laurens is
familiarly called, is the ambitious
young politician who wrapped de la
Huerta around his scheming finger
and persuaded him to ''run" for presi-
dent with Jorge as the king-maker or
power behind the throne. When they
got their rebellion started, young
George, for that's the English of it,.
became publicity man to the rebels.
Tried to Win Sammy.
With rare tact he set out to per-
suade Samuel Gompers that he ought
to. support the rebels because they
were "reds" and Communists" and
were fighting for Socialism. Just
the thing to win over Sammy Comp
ers! He loves red worse than bull.
"Come and see for yourself
cabled Jorge to Sammy. "We've
established Socialism here and we're
gonna confscate all the big estates
of Obregon and Gales, and without
compensation" II won't come"
cabled Sammy.
Prieto sent the same stuff to
Canuto Vargas of the Pan-American
Federation. Vargas answer was a
lecture on Socialism. This is part
Of it:
Just Like Mussolini.
"Adolfo de la Huerta a Social

general is Guadalupe Sanchez is
socialist" and 'libertarian" and

peasants of the State of Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Prieto Laurens, to which side
, Gen. Sanchez leans.
"lf you are looking for Socialists
=. look for them in the Casa

and you'll find them there in their
post.

$4,000 LESS ARE
WORKING IN N. Y.
THAN LAST YEAR
Full Dinner Pail" Bad
Bet Under Capitalism

BY LELAND oLDS
Federated Press Industrial EditOr)


NEW YORK, April mo evil
dence of an upward swing in the
job market in New York state sim
liar to that Of a year ago is seen
in the February employment report
of Industrial Commissioner Shien-
tag of the state department Of
labor. His statement shows that
factory employment in the state in
creased about 1 per cent between
January and February but that the
level is still more than 21a per cent
below that of February, 1923, and
5 per cent below the high level of
last March.
This means there are at least
$4,000 more factory workers out of
job in the state than year ago.
Metal and Textiles.
The important group of metal in
dustries, says Shientag, showed
practically no net change this
month. Shop making and repairing
railway rolling stock continued to
reduce forces. Only the automobile
industry contributed any forward
movement within the metals group.
Employment in the textile indus
try showed considerable improve
ment over January but was less
favorable than a year ago. Appar-
emily the public is buying less cloth
ing this year. Important reductions
compared with year ago are noted
in manufacture of woolens for gar
ments, in cotton goods and in the
garment trades.
In the building supply industries
employment made a sharp seasonal
drop. Brick yards were closing
down and cement mills laying off
workers. Furniture factories re-
ported a decline.
City Better Than State.
New York City employment, ac-
cording to Shientag, advanced more
than the rest of the state. In the
cloak and suit trade additional
shops were resuming operations and
the reports indicate over 1900 per-
sons added to the pay rolls in the
mems clothing shops while the
women's shops took on a smaller
number. An unusual falling off in
employment IN Jne pruning trades
was reported.
Outside New York the only i'm
provement noted was occasioned by
the automobile industry and the
gains in that less favorable than a
year ago.
This report indicates that there
are over 10000 more unemployed
factory workers in New York state
than there were in February, 1923,
without taking account Of the nor
NAL increase in population which
would add at least 10000 more to
the labor looking for jobs.

VIII. Our Party Apparatus.
TOMRADE TROTZKY brings the
~ whole might Of his argumen-
tation to bean against our Party
apparatus, and writes: "The new
course does not by any means sig
nifty that the Party apparatus is set
the task of decreeing, creating or
establishing the regime Of 'democ-
racy' within any definite term"
And we read further, in black: "The
Party must subordinate itself to its
apparatus" Then comes an exposi-
tion to the effect that a number of
"Party workers" should be relieved
of their posts and reduced to the
ranks.
The Party Apparatus.
am by no means an uncondi-
tional worshipper of the apparatus
and Party workers at any price, l
have never counted myyelf among
them, and / have attacked them as
often as any one else. l have at

out against the "Party workers" at
every turn, and that Uhey employ
