The socialist party never dreamed
about such tasks for the working

"All Together"
The foolish socialist party and its
pacifist candidate for president is
pleased that socialism" has become
an issue in the campaign. That
shows that the socialist party has
succeeded in making All Smith a par
tial convert to the cause of social
ism. Perhaps in little while Her.
bert Hoover may be convinced; Ras-
cob may become a convert. If son

bilt may join the socialist party.
why may not Rockefeller himself
become an advocate of the great
cause of socialism? 1t is not hard
for him to advocate government
ownership when he controls the gov
eminent.
1t is not difficult for Mellon to
favor the government openly TAX
ing over the mines when he already
controls the mines and is a big
wheel in the government machinery.
Soon Tammany Hall will put up the
red flag of socialism over its new
building and the republican party
adopt the International as its of
fetal song. This will give an OPP
portunity for Norman Thomas to
sing the Star Spangled Banner and
for Jimmie Walker and AL Smith
to sing the International and all will
be together, as the socialist party
says in the opening of its prean-
ble-all will be Americans, there
will be no struggle and socialism
will be accomplished.
Only One Revolutionary Party.
The (Communist) Party has long
ago exposed the new Tammany Hall
as party of big business, and the
so-called liberalism of Smith as 50

catch the support of still uncon-

which the petty bourgeois socialist
party calls socialism.
If the New York traction lines
would be taken over by Tammany
Hall, the socialist party would call
that a species of socialism. If the
Washington government were to
take over the railroads, they would
call that socialism despite the fact
that in many European countries
the capitalist governments already
have control over the railway sys-
tenn.

FAKE AXE POLICIES
NO RELATION TO
IDEAS OF MARX
Much Ado Overlooking
But Capitalism
By VIM. W. WEINSTONE.

An extra show of the big circus
that annually performs at Madison
Square Garden was put on October
22nd, when Herbert Hoover deliv-
cred his presidential address to the
New York public"
Hoover found All Smith guilty of
the great charge Of advocating a
program of state socialism.
A little side-show of the circus
was put on by Jacob Panken at the
Hotel Aston when he declared that
it is absurd of Mr.. Hoover to charge
Smith with being socialist. An
other little performance was put on
by Norman Thomas in Syracuse, be-
fore the student body of the SYRIA
cuse University, when he declared
that the most Smith ever did was to
borrow socialist sock or vest and
that the planks of Smith are not
socialism or good sense.
A Comedy.
Norman Thomas further declared
that there is an unconscious drift
toward socialism which events are
forcing on capitalist parties through
a process of developing collective
ownership and democratic manage
ment of what we collectively need
for an adequate life"
The whole situation is a great
comedy.
Hoover's charge against Smith of
being socialist is, of course, in
tended to brighten away the small
business men to which Smith is es-
pecially catering by raising the cry
that the property of the capitalist
1ass will be confiscated if Smith
comes into the presidency. The So
clalist party comes out with it's de-
NAL of this charge against Smith
because it wishes to retain the re-
spectability of its brand of socialism
and in that way to secure the sup
port of the small business inter-
ests of the country and to maintain
it's responsibility as party of small
business men.
Much the Same.
Al Smith is as much a socialist
and stands as much for socialism as
does Norman Thomas.
The type of socialism which Nor
man Thomas stands for is that of
government ownership and control
of industries without workers
and farmers government, a type
which is not far removed either
from Hoover or a Smith. The
process of the development going on
in the world today is for ten

MONEY is VITAL
TO BROADCAST
PARTY PLATFORM
Masses of Workers Are
Eager for Program

Having accomplished the tremend-
Gus task of collecting over 100000
signatures of qualified voters, the
Communist message of the class
struggle and uncompromising war
against the capitalist system is being
brought home to the masses in every
corner of the country by means of
tons of literature and hundreds of
speakers.
In addition to the cost of ;etting
the ticket on the ballot, the Party
wa burdened with the cost of fight
ing the authorities who in many
states were bent on throwing the
ticket off. on flimsy technicalities.
In this last month of the cam
paign Communist activity must be
intensified ten-fold. Every Party
member must be on the job. Every
dollar that every Party member can
spare must be modified for the cleo
ton campaign. Money talks. Money
writes. Money fights. Without
money to get its message to the
masses; the Workers (Communist)
Party is severely handicapped in the
midst of the greatest opportunity it
ever had to sink its roots deeper
into the ranks of the exploited
masses in the United States.

firTned that idea. 1t was an I'M
real world of books and lectures

Indeed. many of the professors
had a very snooty idea of practl-

couragement, monotony and hui

curriculum. Rather, 1t was gen.

Clever people sidestepped boredom

could deny that man was clever.
Naturally when he graduated he
banked on that cleverness and

difficulty and endure discipline
he might have stuck by them
and seen them through to a sue
cessful issue. But he hadn't been.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
~ IL. e. ". II. Rood!

~
UOUR boy ought to have good
4 shoulders. 1t is rather up
to you to see that he does de-
veIop this valuable index to his
physical efficiency.
Mumford made careful mesaure-
ments Of the boys in his school
TO see whether there il any con.
nection between adequate and
healthy physical growth and
scholastic attainment. He kept a
card for each boy. This showed
the boys height, weight, chest,
grit, upper and lower arm girth,
scholastic progress, general juds-
ment of the Head Master on his
work and conduct, Judgment as
to his general health by the med
icar officer, the time he spent on
travel, and so on.
A carefully.modified system Of
grading the measurements was
adopted so as to show the degree
in which each boy surpassed or
fell behind another boy. It also
showed which boys were in need
of ampler physical exercise or
were overworking and not prop
erly developing. Added to the
measurements were tests devised
for the Air Force to show how
the boys breatned.
1t was soon found that there
was no single ideal boy whom ali
other should copy. 1t did show,
however, that there were natural
and essential differences to be al
lowed for. After much searching
Mumford found that the best
single point to consider as an
index of activity and health was
the poise and shape of the
shoulder. With good shoulders he
found, as a tailor had already
told him, went healthy abdominal
muscles and good breathing.
These observations of Mumford
are very important. They point
to the fact that the term physical
fitness is too often regarded as a
general certificate of security
against disability or danger from
disease, but it is really only valu-
able when there is added to. it
some description of the purpose
for which the individual is
physically fit" Every kind of
athletic exercise makes it's own
special demands on body form and
breathing action, and what is best
for one is bad for another.
Schoolboys need to take part in
physical activities. They must
prepare for examinations. Still
more important is the fact that
they must get adapted and pre-
pared for a wider and even more
strenuous future where they will
have to look after themselves.
Therefore the teacher, the parent,
and, above all, the school medical
officer, must look for and recog-
nize the differences in physical
equipment between different indl.
Viduals in relation to adult as we'll
as to school life.
While the pupils are developing
is the time to deal with anything
that is likely to be a handicap.
DR.. Mumford found it possible in
many cases to predict, from the
shape and movements of the chest
of a boy of IL and 10, the
directions in which his physical
activities would most likely de-
velop. He, made it the guide for
advice upon the particular game
which would do most to call out
the lads powers, or to make good
his deficiencies.
For instance, feebly developed
shoulders with narrow chests call
for lacrosse and tennis, even golf.

the arms and shoulders.
