REASONS ADVANCED
NEED CAME WARDEN
SEWARD DISTRICT
SUGGESTIONS MADE ASKING
BLACK BEAR BE CLASSED
WITH BROWNIES ON
PENINSULA

The suggestion incorporated in the
following letter, relative to game
recommendations and addressed to
Ernest P. Walker, head of the Alaska
Game Commission, are those put for
ward not only by the Seward Cham
Der of Commerce but also by the
majority of residents and guides of
this section Of the Territory and are
offered for the consideration of the
Game Commission which meets in
annual session in Juneau within a
few days.
The letter.
(A) That no resident hunting IL
cense be required of Alaskan resi-
dents.
(b) That the season on Brown
bear be re-established as it was a
couple of years ago, June Goth.
(c) That a closed season and limit
be placed on Black bear in this dis
trict; namely The Alaskan Peninsula
and on Kenai Peninsula.
(d) That a game warden be estab-
lished at Seward for the economical
and efficient protection Of game, and
for the convenience Of the travelling
public.
Our reasons for the above requests
are herein continued as presented
(a) ID That no revenue would ac
crue as result of such a regulation,
that it would be abused in cases
where man was in an isolated loca-
ton, and it is felt that Il would not
assist in discovering aliens.
(a) (2) Finally it is thought consid-
cradle dissatisfaction would be caus-
ed thru the taking away of certain
liberties from a great number Of
American citizens for the purpose Of
discovering a few aliens:
(b) ID In this section of the terri
tory Brown bear is a decided asset;
not alone for the finances it might
bring locally but because of the stat
istical information available that the
Territory as a whole has profited
thru the visits Of wealthy sportsmen,
and their investures in territorial
business. June LIST. forces them to
rush their trip for Brown bear and
experience has shown that from the
time a practical hunt can be man
aged, with boat connections, and
travel, June 18th is too early to al
low the proper time to satisfactorily
conclude a spring hunt Guides have
unanimously endorsed the return of

three candidates, a large number be-
ing allowed only with the consent Of
the rayon party committee. If the
nucleus is small, consisting Of less
than seven members, a secretary is
elected instead of a bureau.
In order to better carry on the work
among the non-party masses. the nue.
leus periodically conducts open meet
ings and attempts to draw active non
party workers into the political study
circles and schools, and tried TO give
active non-party workers respon-
sible positions in the carrying on Of
the work in the factory, particularly
those who are workers, farm laborers
or poor peasants. Non-party workers
who have the confidence Of the work
ers and stand near to the party are
nominated for elections in the nom
party organizations, as we'll as party
members. The best elements are
drawn into the party. The nucleus
at all times attempts to draw the
non-party masses into the discussion
of the problems Of the Soviet Union
as whole. "By overcoming the
narrow craft and localist sentiments,
and conducting thorough systematic
educational activities and by imbuing
the masses with a sense Of their COM
mon interests the nucleus secures their
support for the party slogans and de-
eisions." Quoted from same as above)
The nucleus participates in all the
educational and cultural work carried
on within the factory, such as clubs,
libraries, literature evenings, enter
tainments, question and answer eve
nings, oral and wall newspapers, etc.
The nucleus does all il can to in
crease subscriptions TO the press and
increase the number Of worker cor
respondents, and carries on educa-
tional activity among the latter.

MOSCOW (By MaiD The func-
tons of the nucleus of the Russian
Communist Party and of the trade
union organization in a state-owned
factory in the Soviet Union, are, of
course, not the same as functions of
the Communist nucleus or the trade
union organization in a factory in a
capitalist country, or in a privately
owned enterprise within the Soviet
Union. In the state owned enterprise
in the Soviet Union-and the large
industries, as well as the transporta-
ton are entirely in the hands Of the
state-the proletarian state is the en-
ployer.
The workingclass, through its or
CARNATIONS, the Communist Party
and the trade unions, has therefore,
as one of it's functions, the increasing
Of the production of the factory, the
elimination Of all points of friction,
as well as the protection Of and adj
vancement Of the interests of the
workers.
The basic unit Of the Communist
Party in Russian factory is the
factory nucleus, and the highest par
ty body in the factory is the general
meeting of the factory nucleus. The
general meeting elects the nucleus
bureau, consisting of no more than
members, and candidates and this
bureau functions between meetings
Of the general party membership. The
bureau elects an Organization, an
Agitprop, Work Among Women and
other committees, which are respon-
sible to the bureau, which in turn, is
responsible to the general meeting OF

ticle will give definite details as 10

famous hall its name, Above the
stage, on which sat about two hun
bred Of the more prominent members
of the "Pravda" staff and Party or
gans, was suspended a big red anC

Democratic Labor Party. This
unity" deserves the quotation marks
because never had two horses pulled
so contrariwise as did this team; both
wings, representing widely divergent
theology and generally advocating
dramatically opposite tactics, they
had maintained their own organiza-
tions and press, and Party history had
been a long sequence of almost twenty
years of inner-Party struggle over
every vital question confronting the
young Russian labor movement.
Lenin Calls For Break.
There had been splits before which.
under the pressure Of conditions. had
been breached-but now that the
Mensheviks proposed the virtual
liquidation of all the revolutionary
phases Of socialist activity Ienin
called for the final break. The Boil
sheviks formed their own Party,
rallied behind themselves the over
whelming mass of the Party member
ship, and began publishing, in Peters
burg, their own daily ravda."
From the very first the paper had
to fight desperately against police
suppression. It's very title was chosen
first under the conditions of this
fight, dormant police permit for the
appearance of a paper by that name
being utilized to make the start. Time
after time the paper was confiscated,
members of the staff and distributors
imprisoned, but the paper appeared
just the same under a slightly
changed title and the chase went on
until it was ended by the victorious
proletarian revolution. Now the
birthday of "Pravda" is also "Inter-
national Press Day" for the Com
munist movement, a fitting tribute to
the first and greatest of Bolshevik
dailies.
