NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Why Successful Women Are Lonely
WHENEVER 1 see brilliant,
w capable, successful woman
about to marry a nice, normal,
efficient herman, I close my eyes
and shudder.
Because I know that one Of
two tragedies Is bound to happen!
Either she IL going to begin
softening his backbone. vertebra
by vertebra, by lifting all the
responsibilities off Of it.
Or, when the irresistible force
of her ambition meets the i'm.
movable body of his masculine
will and self-respect, there Is GO
ing to be a terrible cataclysm!
With broken hopes, shattered
dreams and all sorts Of wreckage
in its wake.
A lot of women are born capable
and efficient. and a lot of men
are born sweet and beautiful and
tlmid and spineless-and these
make perfect mates.
OF course 1t IL painful to en-.
vision a strong, fine, intelligent
woman gazing tenderly down into
the eyes Of sweet, adoring man
and calling him her dear little
helpmate. But, after all, if a
woman MUST have a career, and
hold the reins, why shouldn't she
be satisfied with second as a
husband?
That is much fairer than taking
potentially fine, outstanding man
and insidiously running him by
making life too soft and easy for
him. For. next to canned lob
ster, nothing on earth Is so easily
SPOILED as a man! Take him
off the ice OF hard work and put
him in the sun of ease; and con.
tentment, and he becomes soft
and impossible. in no time.

thought of some tender, helpless
little gold-digger, waiting for him
to bring home the bacon. the
Rolls-Royce and the pearl neck
laces that keeps the average man
working at all. and spurs him on
to achievement.
On the. other hand, the Lord
DID make a lot OF Intellectual
weaklings and Do-littles: and
SOMEBODY has got to take care
of them. So why doesn't the
brave, bold girl with the strong
right arm just accept one OF these,
and keep him for q PET?

is still a WOMAN, and admires

Factory Papers in Germany

IN Germany, besides the so-called "great" daily
press and trade union publications with their many
million crculatons, there also factory papers of
some Importance. The present form of these papers
is of recent origin. Their circulation increased after
the Communist Party of Germany had discarded its
former organiZational structure. Formerly the
Party was based on territorial nuclei lie, members
were enrolled where they lived, and not at the en-
terprises), but when the Party transferred it's or
ganizational structure to the factory nuclei which
formed also the basis for the whole of its rank
and file work. the circulation of these papers greatly
enhanced. This transfer of the organzational cen
tire of revolutionary work into the thick of the
working masses-at the factories and plants
strengthened the Party's connections with the
masses and drew them into the movement
One of the forms of this connection and of the
increased activities of the masses is the papers pub
lshed by the factory nuclei of the Communist Party
Although the publication of these papers in Germany
is still in embryo we that during the last two
years their role in the general revolutionary work
among the masses has grown. Whereas the first
factory papers of the Communist nuclei were more
satirical than propaganda in character during re-
cent years they have begun to really express the
feelings of the workers They have now turned into
potent instrument for agitational and propaganda
work These papers drive at demonstrating the sys-
tenn of capital exploitation by using the enterprise
as an example. Further they unmask the abuses of
the administration and the baneful policy of their
own" and focal" reformists. And finally they call
on the workers to struggle for their immediate
everyday needs and to connect the local with the
general struggle of the whole workingclass
Vi course. we know how the employers regard
these factory papers Workers known to be en-
gagged in the publication or distribution of reyou
tonary factory papers the subject of repressye
measures by the employers: they are mercessly
dismissed from the enterprises and blacklisted with
all that this means in getting work elsewhere Col
Elaboration in the factory paper means taking the
risk OF protracted unemployment and hunger. Rev.
dictionary factory papers are therefore being pub
hshed illegally and every comparative measure is
used to spread them among the workers.
In the majority of cases the revolutionary factory
papers are written by hand and duplicated on heco-
graphs. They are the fruits of the collective work
not only of the Communists but of non-party work
ers too. Already today see that the most sue
