Malnutrition Ailment
Among Children
Child Under Capitalism.

WASHINGTON, d, C.-The physi-
clans and nurses holding child health
conferences in 40 states under the fed
eral maternity and infancy act report
that malnutrition, or undernourish-
ment, is prevailing among the children
they examine. The same bourgeoisie
gentlemen who give these facts to the
world hold their hands up in horror
when the Young Pioneers or the
Young Workers (Communist) League
struggle in the public schools for state
maintenance for the children. The
low wages of the adult workers, the
steady unemployment among large
sections of the workers are some
direct causes of these conditions. 1t
only goes to show that the struggle
for the betterment of the conditions of
the children is the struggle for the en-
tire working class.

In addition to these pamphlets, the
party published the speech Of Saklat-
vala in connection with the Saklatvala
campaign. There is now ready for pub
location and will soon appear, a
pamphlet by Heinz Neuman on Marx
and Engels' Views of the American
Labor Problems "The Menace of OPP
portunism" by Max Bedacht and also
now in preparation, the first volume
of the Lenin library which will con-
sist of "Lenin on Organization"
FINANCES: A financial report for
the period from the convention un-
til Dec. 10 is appended hereto. One
of the major difficulties of the party is
that of finances. In the past three
and half months, the party income
has not been sufficient by half to pay
for the work under way. During this
period an Indebtedness of over $4,000
has been incurred in the form of un-
paid wages due to party workers in
the employ of the national Organiza-
ton. The situation has also initiated
against the aggressive carrying out Of
the party policy and extension of our
work. Effort has been made to re-
duce the expenditures of the national
organization but this can only be done
at the expense of reducing the volume
of work carried on by the party,
There are demands for financial assis.
lance to carry on the party work but
it has been impossible to meet these
because there have been no POUNDS
even for the most elemental needs of
the organization as it stands today
The party cannot continue on its
present scale of work unless the in.
come of the party is increased. The
fact of the change in the method OF
dues payments and reorganization has
cut down the income of the national
organization even below what it was
before the convention when the party
was already in financial crisis. The
tendency of district organizers, to
ganization for its share of the dues
collected has aggravated this condi-
ton. There is only one remedy for
this situation, that is, to initiate a
campaign in the party for funds for
the maintenance of the national or.
ganization. The political committee
recommends that such campaign be
made with the understanding that SO
per cent of the money collected shall
go to the national organization, %
per cent to the district organization
and rs per cent to the language propa
ganda bureaus. The latter have sui
fered greatly because the party has
been unable to pay any funds for the
maintenance of the secretaries ano
carrying on the work.
| The campaign for funds can be wei
connected with the development of the
labor party campaign. The politica
committee proposes such a campaign
to begin as early as possible in Janu
airy.

3. The Political Situation.
SITUATIONS: The

INTERNATIONAL SITUATION: The
l development of capitalism in recent
months has shown how partial and
temporary has been the sterilization of
capitalism. In England, despite all eff
forts of the capitalists to solve the
economic problems, unemployment
does not decrease and industry finds
itself in a difficult position in relation
to the world market. The reaction Of
the British bourgeoisie is indicated in
the measures taken in order to stife
the revolutionary movement of the
workers. When the English bour-
geoisie resorts to the Imprisonment of
Communists in a land which has
always prided itself on the widest lat
titude of free speech, it is because of
the difficulties and dangers which be-
set it. The Locarno treaties are eff
forts of England to meet the increas-
ing dangers which surround it. To
gether with the attack on the Com
munists, the Locarno treaties show
that England sees as its enemy the
Soviet Union and that it is endeavor-
ing to create the conditions for a
struggle against the Soviet union BY
settling the problems of conflict in
Europe. it hopes to have a free hand
TO mobilize the forces of capitalism
against the Soviet Union. These eff.
forts are the proof that English CAPT
talism has not overcome the forces un-
dermining it let loose by the war.
In France, we see one government
after the other topping over and the
financial crisis growing more anG
more acute. France finds itself in
volved in two wars at the time when
there is the gravest danger of finan,
cial crisis. With the franc still on the
downward path, the tendencies in
France are those which manifested
themselves in Germany before the
adoption Of the Dawes plan. The de-
mand for a fascist revolt appears con
tinually in the French press. Such an
attempt to seize power would result In
a revolutionary crisis which would
bring the workers on the march.
In Germany, the promise OF the
Dawes plan of Improvement In indus
try and greater employment, seem e
be over Reports of widespread un
employment and misery among the
masses are again coming from tha
country. There is bound to come q
new will to struggle on the part of the
workers.
In Italy, the Mussolini Dictatorship
is coming to the inevitable conflict
with the capitalist class OF that coun.

2. Inner Party Life.

On the editorial side of The DAILY
WORKER, a number of conferences of
the editors and leading comrades have
ben held with view of improving the
character of the paper. Some achieve
ments are to be recorded in this re-
spect but further discussion Of the
problem is still called for and the eff
forts in this direction will be CON
tinued.
One change has improved the char
acter of the magazine section of
which Comrade Minor has been ap-
pointed as editor. 1t is the plan of
the political committee to issue the
magazine section as a separate weekly
paper issued at a low cost, in addi-
ton to being issued with The DAILY
WORKER, after the subscription cam
paign of the daily has been completed.
Such a weekly paper can secure a
wider subscription list than The
DAILY WORKER and thus bring us
in contact with new groups of work
ers and serve as a sphere in strength
SuluS he OAlhI WOhhEh.
THE WORKERS MONTHLY: The
l. Workers Month has undergone a
decided change during the past four
months. The level of the articles has
been raised and our magazine is on the
road to actually becoming the theo-
retical magazine of the party which it
should be. The progress made in this
respect is a great step forward and
the efforts must be continued to turn
the Workers Monthly into a powerful
weapon for the education of the men,
bers and sympathizers, for analysis
ana discussion of the fundamental
problems of the labor movement of
the United States. The achievements
in the relation to the transformation
of the Workers Monthly is an impor-
tant factor on the credit side of our
work during(the post four months.
DARTY LITERATURE: Thre e
pamphlets have been published on
the national convention, one contain
ing an analysis of the party situation,
the second the reports, theses and
resolutions and a third on reorganiza-
ton and the party constitution. 1t
must be admitted. that the pamphlets
containing the theses and resolutions
has been inexcusably delayed.
