BIOLOGISTS STUDY
RHESUS MONKEYS
Seek to Penetrate Mysteries
of Life With Aid of
PrimateS.

BALTIMORE. Md. (P).-The secrets
of the very beginning of individual hui
man life are being sought by the depart
ment of embriology of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington with the aid
of a growing colony of monkeys in its
laboratory at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity
The value of these little primates
in the effort to solve some of the
remaining mysteries of human life,
health and behavior, as explained by
DR.. George L. Streeter, director of the
laboratory. lies in the fact that they
can be observed more closely, accurately
and freely and controlled more easily
Tor scientific purposes than is possible
with the larger apes or human beings
This is greatly facilitated, he says, by
their possession of all of the funda-
mental reactions of man without any
of his secretiveness.
The laboratory now has AZ Macacus
RhesuS monkeys in its colony, 5 having
been born during the last year. 1t is
interesting, DR.. Streeter observes, to
watch their social adjustments among
themselves, and at times their behavior
suggests that a kind of civilization is
developing under ones eyes. If this
should turn out to be the case, he
points out, wonderfully valuable key
would be provided for opening some of
the time locked mysteries of the early
stages of human civilization.
Although the Macacus RheSuS mon
key is very susceptible to tuberculosis.
none of the members of the laboratorys
colony has the disease. This is ascribed
by Dr. Carl Hartman, who has charge
of the colony, to the abundance Of
sunlight, fresh air, an ideal diet and
60
piness and companionship with which
they are provided Although the climate
OF Baltimore is by no means that of
a tropical jungle, and snow is not un-
common in Winter, they live the year
around in roony clean open air cages,
and are fed plenty Of cooked and raw
fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk. rice and
other foods to assure Suflciency OF
all of the necessary vitamins.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, october
27.-Seeking a solution to the flood
menace of Lake Okeechobee, which
took a toll of upward of 1000 lives
in the September hurricane, South
Florida officials gathered here today to
consider several proposed measures.
The meeting was called by the mayors
of Miami, West Palm Beach and Palm
Beach. The plan of the leaders was to
draft program of protective measures
for possible submission to the next
Florida Legislature.
Mayor E. G. Sewell of Miami made
the following proposal:
ITO request the Federal Government
for construction of a canal from Lake
Okeechobee to the sea, at a cost not
to exceed $5,000,000 and that farming
communities construct Stormproof
buildings for the persons of the area
in time of severe storms"

principal lacking element. All fruit
trees growing in Maryland soils are
benefited by applications of nitrogen,
either in the form of animal manures,
nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia
The need of nitrogen is best shown
by the tree itself. Short annual growth
of shoots and blossom spurs, yellow
foliage and low production are all indi-
cations Of nitrogen shortage In the
lack of animal manures, nitrate of soda
gives the best results, yielding an almost
immediate response in improved growth,
followed the next year by increased pro-
duction.
DR.. Schrader reported that he had
used as much as 20 pounds of nitrate
of soda per mature apple tree without

causing injury decreasing this amount
in subsequent years as the growth i'm
proved. AS an average treatment for
a large tree to 10 pounds was con-
sidered good initial application.
Sulphate of ammonia gives good re-
suits, but is slower In action and has
a tendency to keep the foliage growing
late in the Autumn, with danger Of
possible Winter injury from poorly
ripened wood. One to one and half
pounds of nitrate of soda to large grape
vines gave excellent results. In closing,
DR.. Schrader pointed out that orna-
mental shrubs, vegetables and flowers
use nitrogen in large quantities and
profit from treatment with moderate
quantities of nitrate of soda.

vious strengthening of the sympa-
thies of the working classes OF
Europe for the Soviet Union, the
growing power of the Soviet Union
internally and the growth of the in
fluence of the working class of oui
country on the oppressed peoples OF
all the world.
Hence the tasks of the party are as
follows
Firstly, on the lines of an inter
national revolutionary movement:
(a) A fight for the development
of the Communist parties throughout
the world.
(b) A fight for the consolidation
of the revolutionary unions and fol
a united front Of the workers against
the offensive of the capitalists.
(c) A fight for the consolidation
of friendship between the working
class of the Soviet Union and the
working class of the capitalist coun-
tries.
(d) A fight for the consolidation
of the alliance between the working

In summing UP we see:

In summing up we see: y
In the first place the growth of the
contradictions within the capitalist
world around us; the necessity for
capitalism to redistribute the world
by means of new war; intervention
tendencies on the part of some cap
italist countries, with Great Britain
at their head; the reluctance of an
other section of the capitalist world
to take part in any active operations
against the Soviet Union and stimuli
taneous preference of these countries
for economic relations with the So
Wet Union; the existence of strug-
gle between these two tendencies and
: certain possibility for the Soviet
Union to take advantage of the desire
for the maintenance of peace.
In the second place we have the
decay of sterilization, the growing
revolutionary movements in the colo
MES, signs of a new revolutionary
movement in Europe, the growing
authority of the Comintern and its
sections throughout the world, an OBJ

class of the Soviet Union and the
emancipatory movements in the colo
MES.
Secondly. on the lines of the foreign
policy of the Soviet Union:
(a) A fight against the prepare
ton for fresh imperialist wars.
(b) A fight against the interven.
ton tendencies of Great Britain and
for the increase Of the defensive
forces of the Soviet Union.
(c) A policy of peace and the main
tenance of peaceful relations with the
capitalist countries.
(d) Expansion of our goods traffic
with the outer world on the basis of
confirmation of the foreign trade
monopoly.
(e) An approach to the so-called
"weak" and mot fully qualified
states, which are oppressed and ex-
plotted by the ruling imperialist
Powers.

Secretary Greek Language Bureau of
Workers Communist Party

Workers (C0munlSt) Party
In the midst of imperialist reaction
here and abroad, with American ma
rines butchering the workers and
peasants of Nicaragua who are fight
ing heroically for the independence
of their country, and with the cos
sacks of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Col
orado prosecuting the heroic miners
in order to realize the schemes of the
coal barons, to smash the backbone of
the American labor movement, the
Miners Union. In the midst of such
capitalist reaction we are celebrating
the fourth anniversary of the only
English Communist daily in the world,
The DAILY WORKER.
The DAILY WORKER, the express
sion of all class conscious workers of
America and the leader and organizer
of the wide toiling masses of this
country, is the only labor paper which
continuously and energetically exposes
the role of the capitalist state, and
American imperialism in Latin
America, China and all over the
world.
1t educates the workers and farm
ers of this country how to carry on
the fight against their exploiters ard
conducts this struggle with the labor
movements of the workers and peas
ants of American colonies, which are
exploited and oppressed by the same
boss, the American imperialistic cap
italism.
In Everyday Struggle.
The DAILY WORKER is the real
expression of the everyday struggle
of the workers in all fields, political
as well as economical. 1t is the only
paper that supports and leads the
movement against the bills proposed
by Congress to fingerprint and pho
tograph the foreign-born workers Of
this country.
In our efforts to organize the Greek
workers of the fuel industry, the food
and steel industries, the coal miners,
economically and politically, we find
The DAILY WORKER the most
earnest supporter. And since the
overwhelming majority of the Greek
workers of this country are still I'M
organized, we earnestly urge the
Greek workers of America to support
and widely distribute The DAILY
WORKER, their leader and organizer,
in order to make the first steps to-
wards their liberation from exploita-
ton and finally to deal the last blow
to their class enemy.
The fact that fhe DAILY WORK
Err is the central organ of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, the vanguard
of the working class is living proof
that it represents the interests of the
wide masses whom it leads into power.
The Daily Empros, the organ of
the Workers (Communist) Party in
the Greek language, is bringing the
same message to the Greek workers,
in order to bring them into the stream
Of the American labor movement, of
which they are a part.
In the name of the Daily Empros
and the Greek Bureau of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, 1 greet the
fourth anniversary of The DAILY
WORKER.
