What is the origin of the indiyid- ual?
 How have the different kinds of animals come into being?
 What is the origin of life itself?
 What is the future of life?
 The above questions form the nu- cleus of a most intriguing study in connection with the living world. The biology class finds them of con siderable interest and is amused at some of the ideas held in the past.
 Among the ancients there was widespread belief in spontaneous generation or the rise of living things from non-living matter. The Greeks thought all life rose original ly in the sea. They had a recipe for making scorpions which seems naive to us today with our modern scien- tific knowledge. Scorpions appeared when crab claws were placed under rocks. Of course, the explanation is that scorpions eat decayed matter Their scent directed them to the claws which made fine supper.
 In the Middle Ages it was thought dirty lit plus cheese would equal mice. Others believed that frogs came down in rain. The idea also existed that hair snakes came from the hair in horses tails.

Statement of Minority of Political Committee
on the Resolution of the EC.CL and the
Question of the Party Unity.

this theory, which is entirely false,
without Foundation and exceedingly
harmful and dangerous for the party,
the Lovestone group has claimed the
right to permanently maintain itself
as a closed faction and to exercise
"hegemony" over the party. From
this theory has proceeded an ultra
fractional practice which not only
failed to develop the party in the di-
rection of unity, but artificially ham
pered this development. The rejec-
ton of this theory in deed as well as
in words is an absolute prerequisite
for the actually carrying out of the
resolution of the ECCI and the agree
ment of the American Delegation.
Since the return of the delegation
the Lovestone group has not indicated
any change in the slightest degree in
the factional course it has followed
up to now. While formally disavow-
ing the demand for hegemony in
words it maintains it in every action
it has taken. 1t has proceeded on the
same fractional path in all matters
since the return of the delegation, in
complete disregard of the opposition
groups and without manifesting the
slightest intention of coming to any
agreement with them, even on such
questions as the division of duties
and responsibilities provided for in
the organizational decisions of the
ECCI.
This attitude has been especially
signalized by the issuance of a state
ment of the Political Committee ma
jority on the resolution of the ECCI
of such a fractional character that the
minority of the Polcom was unable
to sign it, Notwithstanding our de-
sire and endeavor to come to agree
ment with them on a joint statement.
Under these circumstances the mi
nority of the Polcom, in behalf of the
opposition groups, has been COM
PEELED to issue its own statement in
order that our position may be put
before the party. In doing so we re-
affirm our stand for unity and col
lective leadership. We declare our
readiness to collaborate with the ma
jority of the Polcom on the basis of
equality in the spirit of the CT reso-
luton and the joint agreement. We
restate here as our opinion that "the
leading forces of all three groups can
work together as they contain in
their ranks complementary forces"
The unity of the party in face of war
danger and the offensive against the
party-is an incontestable necessity.
The way to this unification has been
correctly indicated in the resolution
of the ECCI and the joint agreement
of the American delegation drawn up
in cooperation with the ECCI. These
documents speak in clear terms for
The liquidation of the fractional strug-
gle and for the merger of the exist
ing groups into a collective leader

By District 2, Workers (COmmunist)
Party.

With cynical and contemptuous dis
regard of all the facts of the case,
and of the worldwide appeal by labor
and progressive-minded people, Gov
ernor Fuller has doomed Sacco and
Vanzetti to the electric chair. De-
spite the sham and hypocritical in
vestigation and the Judgment of Gov
ernor Fuller, Sacco and Vanzetti are
innocent. American labor is not
shaken for a single moment in its
complete faith that these workers did
not commit the crime with which
they are charged American labor
likewise remains mistaken in its con-
viction that the trial from beginning
to end was a frame-up against these
two workers because they belong to
the working class and fought against
the capitalists of this country.
The judgment upon Sacoo and
Vanzetti is judgment against
American labor as a whole. The
judgment of execution of Sacco and
Vanzetti, if carried out, will be the
starting point of new series of re-
pressive laws against the labor move
ment of this country and against the
foreign-born workers in particular.
Labor cannot accept the verdict as
final. 1t cannot allow Sacco and Van
zetti to go to the electric chair. In
the united strength of the working
class there is still power to free Sac
co and Vanzetti. United and quick
action can still free Sacco and Van
zetti Only if labor employs the
power at it's command can they be
freed. Away with illusions regard
ing capitalist justice! AS Sacco said,
"Only international protest by the
working class can bring our liberia
ton"
The action of Governor Fuller fol-
lowing the courts of Massachusetts,
demonstrates once again that the
workers cannot secure justice at the
hands of capitalist politicians and
capitalist institutions. 1t proves
again that as long as labor has no
party of its own and is at the COM
plete mercy of the political parties
of the employers, will such fragrant
violations of every elementary right
of the workers continue. American
workers must realize the necessity
for the estab lishment of a labor par
ty,in this country and for labor TAX
ing vigorous and Independent poll
tical action in its own behalf. This
case has sufficiently exposed ths
Grass dictatorship of capital which
rules in this country.

ing blame; this is the time for a
determined policy. SACCO AND
VANZETTI SHALL NOT DIE!
AS we sit at our typewriters or our

in their death cells. Those of you
who have lived in even an ordinary
prison cell will realize what it means.
But it is not the soul torture of two
comrades that | stress. 1t is tho

are numbering them because they
think that by so doing they will scare
the rest of us into submission. The
capitalists are not fools. They be-
lieve that they will be successful. They
know that liberal paltitudes do not
mean damned thing. They believe
that they can get away with the MUIR
der of Sacco and Vanzetti. Shall
they? 1t is up to you.

FLAT ARCH IS
CURIOSITY

One of the most interesting ex.
amples of common brick construc.
ton in all the world, from an engi-
neering point of view, is the flat
arch in the ruins Of the old cathedral
In old Panama City. This old
church was DESTROYED by Morgan's
band Of hooters when the pirate chief
raided the old town in 1871. It re-
quired q caravan of III horses and
mules to carry the treasure across
the isthmus to his ships.
Tradition has it that this arch,
which approximately Is IS feet in
length, extending entirely across one
end of the old church, and is not du.
plicated anywhere else on earth, is
the answer to the fervent prayers
of a padre Of the sixteenth century
Whether the church was his own dc.
sign is not recorded, even by tradi,
ton, but from his legendary per.
sistence in its erection it might so
seem to have been.
In any event, as any native there
abouts will tell you, this arch was
built many times, only to fall once
when the underpinning was removed.
1T had no keystone, as present day
arches have, but, after the initial
curves in raising at either side, was
almost fiat for a distance OF some
30 feet or more. 1t was intended to
support balcony.
Despite these failure, the padre
persisted. In the final effort, so the
story goes, he knelt in prayer daily
while the masons labored. When the
framework was being taken out he
moved under the arch itself and
prayed that IT might stand, consign-
ing himself to death of it fell. And
marvel Of marvels, 1t stood!
