Have you ever gone hunting for
the hidden key--a key hidden by
real estate dealers III order that you
among hundreds of others might be
given the exercise of tearing up the
surface of some new subdivision look
ing for it? Talk about wild turkeys
tearing up the terra firna,P they
haven't sanything on man. A new
subdivision is put on the market.
Public interest ins the tract is needed.
SO a. key that will open a box in
the tract office is hidden beneath the
earth's surface somewhere in the tract
This hidden key will open the box
in the office and inside the box the
lucky finder of the hidden key will
find a valuable prize. 1t may be
anything from a diamond ring to an
order for an automobile. A new
automobile stands in front of the
office and presumably it is the prize.
Picture in yur wn mind the humid
reds of eager searchers digging over
the surface of newly born sub
division, looking for the hidden key
the key to the big surprise box. About
the time the diggers have been re-
crdited to several hundred, the key
shows. up and the news of the dis
covery breaks. Soon the diggers gather
around to see the mysterious box
opened. Imagine the babble of 1ok-
ing remarks, some sarcastic and some
expressing disappointment, as the
grand prize is found to be 500
certificate good as part payment on
a lot and not the new automobile
Day after day the hunt goes on, a
new crop of diggers taking the places
OF those who have gone through the
experience, with the same prize auto
mobile serving as bait. The soil that
was turned over the day before is
turned back by the new crop of
diggers today, and SO it goes on day
after day. A lot of digging by a
lot of people, lot of soiled footwear
one key and one automobile, but an
unlimited supply of 500 certificates.

Figures ShOw Germans
Drink Most Beer

BERLIN, (R)-The 16,491 breweries
of the Fatherland are working full
time and Germans are drinking more
beer than ever.
The latest statistics indicate an
average annual consumption of nearly
20 gallons per capita, which is about
25 per cent higher than consumption
the previous year.
Figures show that since the stabili-
zation of the mark beer exports have
declined steadily. The Importation of
Pilsener from Czechoslovakia and even
of English ale and stout has risen. On
the other hand, the consumption of
Schnaps" in all its varieties seems to
be on the Wane.

 It was the first win over the inva- ders by Captain Howard Hayes and crew and the crowd, which packed the gymnasium, went wild with joy when the silvery blast from the refer ees whistle registered the end of the hotly fought game. Led by Valaer, the Anchorage team staged a riot of a comeback in the last quarter, espec- ially during the last minute, and came within two tallies of tying the locals. If first honors go to any of the To- calls Guy Manthey appears to have a slight edge over his team mates, due principally, to his high mark in SCOT ing and his fighting spirit Again, on the other hand when the combination of Raymond Man they, Leslie and Captain Hayes begin their plays up and down the floor, spectacular playing is seen. Rosness looks better in every game.
 The spectators were given another opportunity to witness what damage individual players can mete out in the performance of Valaer. Mic. Kinnon also was, going in great shape and has the appearance of being in the same class as his team-mate.

Negro masses with our propaganda,
in their changed conditions, the more
they can be a most valuable reserve

Imperialism did America is not, as
England once was, the only one in
the field. Also we have today the
existence of the Soviet Union, cover

earth and continuing ever to
strengthen its socialist economy
Lenin pointed out that no country
can ever again occupy the role of
domination as long as Britain did.
On the basis of this analysis and
having a Marxist-Leninist viewpoint,
We feel our Party will move forward,
On the basis of the various errors
in the groupings of our Party hav-
ing been corrected we can move for
ward.
On the basis of our Party realizing
the need for greater unification; on
the basis of the consciousness of every
section of our Party to meet the in
creasing danger of war, to meet the
menace against us, the incoming Geo,
am convinced, will move forward
towards greater unity and towards
more concrete and effective steps to
build a mass Communist Party in
America.

w. TasIks and Perspeetives.


In closing let me say something
about the tasks and perspectives of
our Party We feel that Immediately
after the Convention the Party will
have two main tasks. The first task
is the Strengthening of the Party or
ganization. Immediately after the
Convention we should get into cam
paign of strengthening the Party,
building The DAILY WORKER, i'm
proving the units of our Party, in
creasing the membership, bringing
in five or ten thousand new members,
learning to hold these new members.
Thus one of the best antidotes to the
recurrence of the factional struggle
will have been achieved.
We cannot and must not overlook
the weakness of starting too many
campaigns simultaneously.
The second biggest campaign, the
political campaign, must be against
the war danger and for defense of
the Soviet Union. I am sure as a
result of the experiences of the trade
union delegation that went to Soviet
Russia, we will have somewhat
broader basis for this fight.
But what are the outstanding basic
political tasks of the Party? The
primary task of the Party is still to
hasten the development of the work
ingclass politically-to have the
workingclass be born politically as a
class. America is the only big i'm
perialist country where the working
class does not have mass political
party. Toward the achievement of
this end there are three main roads
first of all the fight against the war
danger into which l will not go in
detail because it will be covered by
a subsequent reporter. Secondly, the
entertainment of our Party in the
trade union movement. Thirdly, the
Labor Party campaign, organizations
ally as well as additionally.
In the trade union work our tasks
concretely are are follows: first, we
must draw the Party much more
into trade unions than it is today
The comrades inside the unions must
be made, more active than they are
today. Strengthen and build the fac
tions in the trade unions. We must
realize seriously and earnestly the
important role of the TUEL, broaden
and strengthen it. We must broaden
and strengthen the organ of the left
wing-Labor Unity. We must organ
ize the unorganized. In this country
more than anywhere is this basic
