Own Committees Proposal
of Coliseum on City Mar
ket Tract Is Rejected.
GREAT SAVING IS SEEN
Use of Land Now Available
Would Slash Cost. Say
Investigators.

Proposal that the city use prop
erty on which Tomlinson Hall and
the city market stand as site for
the proposed city coliseum, made by
the Chamber of Commerce civic af-
fairs committee to the Chamber di-
rectors, was deferred by the direc-
tors, it was learned today.
Use of the Tomlinson Hall prop
erty would save the city $1,000,000,
and make possible other necessary
and costly improvements, which, if
accomplished, practically will ex-
haust the city's bonding power, the
committees report set out.
And it would locate the coliseum
on the "best possible site" near the
center of the city and the converg-
ing points of all street car lines.
No Reason Given
No reason for removing the Sec
ton referring to the coliseum from
the committees report was given
by Chamber officials. The remain
der of the report, including a severe
condemnation of the city admin
istrations plan to spend $350,000 to
repair Tomlinson Hall and the mar
ket was approved.
The market has outlived its use
fitness, because of traffic and mod
ern trade conditions, the report said.
1t suggested erection of several COM
munity markets.
1.-THE board of directors decided
not to take action on the coliseum
recommendation at this time, and
removed it from the committee re-
port for future consideration" Dick
Miller, Chamber of Commerce presi-
dent, said.
Then Up to City
Asked what action the directors
would take if the coliseum man
aging board, to be named by Mayor
Duvall, began organization of the
private nonprofit corporation which
is to build the Coliseum and began
selection of site before the direc-
tors reconsider the matter, Miller
said: ut will be up to them en-
tirely."
Henry L. Dithmer, Chamber di-
rector, said it was the opinion of
the directors that the city should
be permitted to buy ground it
wanted.
Personally, I, believe the half
block Tomlinson Hall site is not
large enough" he said.
Winfield Miller, chairman Of the
civic affairs subcommittee which
prepared the report adopted by the
civic affairs committee, expressed
surprise that the directors did not
approve the Coliseum project recon-
mendation.
FavOrs Use of Site
"We gave the matter our best
thought and I still feel that if it is
legal to use that ground, so valuable
a site, so centrally located, should
not be overlooked" he said.
The committee report set out that
the Tomlinson Hall site was granted
to the city more than 100 years ago
by the State for use as a market.
Some attorneys, however, are of the
opinion that use of the land for a
market site for 100 years fulfills the
condition and would make use for
some other purpose legal, it was
said.
If necessary, the next Legislature
could pass an act making use of the
property for a coliseum legal, it was
pointed out.

What MARKHAM Interpretation Of the American Revolution

Marx puts it in the 18th Brumaire":
"Unheroic though bourgeois society
may seem, heroism had been needed
to bring it into being self
sacrifice, the reign Of terror, civil war,
and the slaughter on the battlefields."
True, this is only one side of the rise
to power of the bourgeoisie, the graft
ing, stealing, treachery to its allies,
etc, are another aspect. True also
that Marx was speaking here of the
French revolution, but to a somewhat
more limited degree all these things
were also present in the struggle for
power of the native American bour-
geoisie Theirs was real revolution,
and we have no reason whatever to
deny this. More than that, it was a
skilfully managed revolution from
which there are lessons to be learned
by Communists.
This article does not purport to give
MARKHAM analysis of the American
Revolution, it merely tries to point
out some pitfalls to be avoided by the
comrades who undertake this task. 1t
is indeed encouraging to note that
one of the fields to which our new
theoretical organ is to be devoted is
precisely this one of American his
tory. 1t should be obvious that it re-
quires much more than citations from
Simons and O'Neal to give us a real
basis for such work.

with the aid of a French army and
navy, they forced the British to quit.
WashGgtons regular army was out

at Long Island, at White Plains, and
in other battles, but with only three
regiments he made brilliant mid
winter guerilla raids on Trenton and
Princeton Again, the Mohawk Val
ley county militia shattered, one at
a time, three British armies that were
intended to cut the colonies in half by
occupying New York from Canada to
the sea. Gen. Gates was cut to pieces
by CORVALLIS in Charleston and Cam
den, but he was succeeded by the
guerilla bands of Sumter, Pickens,
Marion and Green, which saved the
revolution in the South, as did the
epic march of George Rogers Clark in
the West. These back-woodsmen APP

De-bunk, but don't De-revolutionise.
In resentment against the classic
bourgeois historians it is to be ex-
pected that protesting writers will
deal ruthlessly with the pretty straw
men, personifications of all the bour-
geois virtues, that have been made
out of the very ordinary land some
time extraordinary specimens of
their time and class-the Fathers"
This goes by the name of de-bunking
history, it is very necessary process,
there is a lot more of it to be done,
but in stripping away the halos we
should leave the heads. The de-bunk-
ing process must not result in the
de-revolutionising of actual revolu-
tionists, albeit bourgeois ones. AS

Those Bad Smugglers.
3.-Was it really a smu. ~
putsch! 1--WE need not wonder that
smugglers, rum and slave traders,
were strong for independence from
the mother country" John Hancock
was known as the Prince of Snug
glers and was to stand trial in Bos-
ton Che was actually to be transported
to England for trial because no Amer
lean jury would convict an WFK)
for smuggling, the very day when the
battle of Lexington was fought.
Simons remarks that like all snug
glers, Hancock cared little for the
forms of law, and trusted to bribery
and violence to secure his ends When
his sloop, Liberty, was endeavoring
to run the customs he first tried to
bride the officials and, filling, locked
up the guard in cabin and unloaded
the sloop under the protection of a
gang of thugs secured for the oeca-
sion."
Simons remarks! Naturally! Why
not? But how can we uncritically ac-
cept Simon's Interpretation of such
an event? Seven paragraphs in this
long article are devoted to smuggling,
but there is not an inkling of the
revolutionary role played by the
smuggler of those days. One of the
first weapons to which colonial
bourgeoisie resorts in a struggle
against an exploiter nation is the boy
cott-see China. The only way an in
dustrially undeveloped country can
make boycott effective against a
nation which controls the seas is by
smuggling. The fact that it is pro-
fitable to the smuggler makes it none
the less a revolutionary weapon, and
Hancock was not unjustified in calling
his sloop Liberty" Bourgeois lib
erty," of course, liberty to trade where
and with whom the rising young
American bourgeoisie pleased, but
that was one Of the things that the
fight was about. These smugglers-
and fishing as well as trading boats
