growing ground for new practice
exists among the more enlightened
working people and in the intelligent
public generally. They are critically
minded and they are tired of the de-
basing commercialism so frequent in
the ranks of all sorts of healers. They
are impatient with spectacular and
exaggerated soaring methods, with
superfluous make-believe work, with
show of super-science and over
treatment. They want prevention and
treatment based on preventive prin-
ciples They are looking for simplic-
ity, light, truth, sincerity, honesty.
Therefore should like to arrange
enc or several meetings Of radical
physicians under the auspices of my
organization, at which occasion all the
questions touched upon in this letter
should be thoroughly discussed and
perhaps a radical medical society
founded.
All those colleagues who wish to
take part are requested to write to-:

all the other party functionaries must
see to it. All departments are of
equal Importance and value as long
as they all fight for winning over
the workers for our Party. This de-
partment, especially, can be of great
value in advancing the class-consci-
BUSINESS of the American workers.
This department must do its bit in
this drive. 10000 copies of the
Ruthenberg pamphlet, "The Workers
Party, What 1t Stands For, and Why
the Workers Should Join It." must be
distributed in our district by May 1.
Hundreds of shops must be tackled
during this drive. Thousands of
workers in all parts of the city must
be reached. With the intensification
of the class struggle in the U. S., the
workers more and more come to re-
alize that the Workers (Communist)
Party is the real leader of the work
ers. They should learn more about
us, they should be drawn into .our
movement. Systematic mass distri-
button of literature will accomplish
much. This distribution should be
organized in conjunction with the
industrial organizers. Section one
has again taken the lead. Literature
distribution was taken up at the
meeting Of the industrial organizers,
industrial work was discussed at the
meeting of the literature agents,
shops were selected in the section
which is going to be tackled by
the squads, all the comrades are lined
up. and good results are expected.
Each section is assigned certain
quota of these pamphlets. The price
now reduced IL cents, there should
be no difficulty to distribute 10000
of these pamphlets in our district.
Sections must get on the job at
once. Mass distribution of literature
is mass work of the Party. It means
building the Party. Organize mass
distributions. Build the Party.

Some time ago the leaders of the
institution which / represent found it
impossible to get the proper medical
assistants for its Health Conservation
Center. The positions were to be re-
Enumerated and to be sure, there were
many, too many, candidates, but few
who understood the non-commercial
scope of our work. We have finally
made the necessary connections and
it will be some time until new vacanc-
les will be open. But this has brought
to our attention a fact that should
be known to a certain fraction of the
medical profession.
Is it possible that contrary to what
we see in many parts of Europe,
among our thousands of New York
physicians there should be no radicals
or, if there are, there should be none
who have adjusted their practice to
the needs of the workers?
/ believe that, besides their revo-
lutionary viewpoint in social and eco
nomic matters, the practice Of pro
gressive physicians should be such
that their general theories should be
reflected in their daily work. 1t

the principles of health teaching, the
relations between doctorsand patient,
particularly between doctor and pro-

and ethics, ought to be seen in new
and different light by the radical

In connection with this, it is also
important to point out that not only
must we cover meetings arranged by

II. r. Workers
Average Under
$1,000 a Year

Americas boast of high wages
must sound like a hollow joke to the
100000 unskilled workers at the bot
tom of the railroad pyramid. Ac-
cording to the survey of 1927 railroad
wages by the interstate commerce
commission these 100000 averaged
less than $1,000 for the full years
work. In fact $4,000 averaged less
than nine hundred for the year.
These railroad workers, receiving
what constitutes the minimum wage
on which the wage structure in the
industry rests, number All, 472, al
most exactly quarter of all railroad
workers paid on an hourly basis.
The average railroader's 1927 wage
amounted to $1677, compared with
$1657 in 1926 and $3.50 in 1928. If
we eliminate high paid executives and
officials and include only workers
paid on an hourly basis, the 1927
average was $1601, compared with
1855 in 1926 and $1556 in 1928. Thus
all the railroad wage increases in the
last A years have added only $45 or
about 2.8 per cent to the average rail-
road workers annual spending power.
The commissions report also shows
how the railroads have been pairing
down their forces since 1928. This
holds particularly true of the shops
in which the number paid on an
hourly basis has been reduced from
572, $50 in 1923 and 517,769 in 1924
to 479, 234 in 1927. Here is a reduc-
ton of more than II per cent in a
years. The number of train and en-
CINE service men has been reduced
i fom 343.382 in 1928 to 322,320 in
1917; clerks from 236,411 to 227,5Oo;
and the group of transportation de-
partment workers other than those in
train and engine service, from 2O8,o34
to 1916, 454.

Big Red Army Talk Screens Imperialism

compared with the general state bud
gets of the various countries.
Whereas the military expenditures
of the capitalist countries usually
constitute 1870 (America) 21%@
(France) and in some countries even
amount to $3.50 of the general bud
get poland, for instance) the ex-
penditure of the Soviet Union in 1924
rs constituted 149o of the total bud
get, in 1886, 14.29o and in 1926-27
1870.
The figures given definitely expose
the legend about "Red Imperialism"
and "militarism" in the Union Of So
cialist Soviet Republics.
Only the Soviet Union engaged in
Soviet construction is pursuing true
policy of peace. Only the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics is actually
fighting for disarmament and the
abolition of militarism. This was
once again reiterated by the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics pro-
posals made in December, 1927, in
Geneva at the session of the prepara-
tory disarmament commission of the
League of Nations for the Disarma-
ment Conference.
No insinuations, no falsehoods on
the part of the bourgeois and REFORM
list press can deceive the toiling
masses, conceal the true role of the
Red Army, deny that the Union Of
Socialist Soviet Republics takes only
the minimum measures of self-defense
in face of the monstrous armament
of the capitalist world.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-04-04

One of the tested methods of con-
cealing the preparations carried on
in the capitalist world for new wars;
is the invention of "Red Imperialism"
by the bourgeois and reformist press.
Capitalists Race to Arm.
Everybody knows that behind the
storm of endless talk about disarm-
ament, behind the screen of all kinds
of "peace" conferences and gather
ings, there is a feverish growth of
armament throughout the capitalist
world. This growth leaves far be-
hind the feverish development of
militarism prior to the world war of
1914-18. However, the bourgeois
press is prudently silent on the mat
ter. But instead it is touchingly
unanimous in picturing the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics as a ''dan-
gerous hotbed" accusing it of plant
ing militarism.
A few facts and figures will suffice
to expose these fictitious tales.
1t is generally known that the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
is, according to territory, the largest
country in the world. 1t borders on
II states and has 10000 kilometers
of boundary lines. The international
situation is such that aggressive ac-
ton on the part of the capitalist
countries against the first workers
republic in the world may be expected
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-04-04

Apart from that the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics must, in the
interests of it's defense, take into &C
count the danger not only of an at
tack on the part of it's immediate
neighbors, but also on the part of
the other capitalist powers. Never
theless, the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics has a Red Army for the
protection of it's vast border lines
only of $4,000. The forces of the
immediate western neighbors of the
Soviet Union FINLAND, Esthonia
Latvia, Poland and Rumania) number
$4,000 men. .........
U. S. S. R. Reduces Army.
In addition to that it should be
pointed out that whereas the numeri-
cal strength of the armies of those
states increases from year to year:
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies reduced it's army by $4,000 DUR
ing the last four years.
Thus, for the defense of the west
ern borders alone, an expanse of g.
900 kilometers, (only Is per cent of
the land borders on the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics) it would be
necessary to use almost all armed
forces of the Union of Socialist Sow
let Republics. But the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics as every other
state cannot leave the other border
lines, which constitute IS per cent
unguarded.
The forces of the Red Army are

THE last few months of literature
work brought us some good re-
suits. A general increase of litera-
ture sales to almost 200 per cent, not
only on a district scale, but in sec
tions. units, etc, an increased sale
of "The Communist" and "Party Or
ganizers," are TO be considered as
great achievements, and those who
have been responsible for this in
crease, namely the literature agents
and members of the literature squad,
should be complimented for this good
work. There are, however, still many
shortcomings which must be pointed
out and Immediately corrected. We
must, for instance, show that
while there is a general increase in
literature sales and distribution, it
is mostly limited to internal party
distribution. This, of course, is of
great Importance and should be con-
sidered as a step forward in oul
work, but it is not entirely satisfac-
tory.
Literature work, as we'll as other
PARTY work, can not be limited to
the Party alone; our orientation also
in this field Of activity must be
towards the masses, towards the great
number of proletarians. who are still
for one reason or another outside OF

alone the fact that the latter can

ceived during the civil wary the sup

This is the first fact which shows
that the Red Army can by no means
be regarded as weapon for imperi-

The second fact which proves the
falsity of the inventions about "Red
Imperialism" is comparison of the

The aggregate army during the
peace period of four large states,
Great Britain, France and Italy and
the United States was in 1918 1,413,-
900 and in 1927 1000.
The Russian Army in 1918 num-
bered 100000 men; the Red Army
of 1927 numbers only $4,000.
It should by the way also be point
ed out that the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics which ranks among
the first countries of the world in
the number of the population borders
on several seas and has sea front
of 10000 kilometres. Its naval for
ces comprise 10000 tons as against
548,0 in 1917, whereas the United
States has tonnage of 1,255,000.

Soviet War Budget Small.
No less characteristic are the fig
ures on the war budgets. The war
budget, for instance, of the four
states mentioned amounted in 1918
to 993 million dollars and in 1926 to
1,768 million dollars, i.e., an increase
of almost 80 per cent, while the war
budget of Russia amounted in 1918
to 1856 million roubles and was re-
duced by the Soviet government to
GA million roubles, which is an ap-
proximate decrease of go per cent

nounced. I'm tired of skulking in
quiet, obscure places. What's the
idea, Lila? Are you ashamed of be-
ing seen with me?"
"Jack! Of course not!"
He marshalled her into the tea
room determinedly. Lila cast an APP
prehensive glance around, but failed
to see any one she knew. However,
it was early.
what did you particularly want
to say, Jack?" she asked meekly,
hoping to get the ordeal over quick
ly.
why did you give away the ore
chids I sent you yesterday"
Lila stared, open-mouthed, and
Farquahar smiled grimly.
"You think don't know? Well,
I'll admit my case isn't exactly con-
elusive, but I'll tell you this much:
Last night went to the place
where I've always sent your letters,
and, in the lobby, I met a girl who
was wearing the identical bouquet
that had selected for you, with
rather especially loving care"
Liia'S laugh held a trace of hys-
terra.
Jack, don't be absurd! AS if any
one could identify flowers"
These happened to be a variety
of orchid that is not sold broadcast.
and I waited to see the bouquet
completed, according to my own di-
rections. 1 think I should know il
again. Take also into consideration
the fact that you didn't wear them,
as I intended you should, and that
some girl in the building, where
you claim to have dear friend, ap-
pears with the identical bouquet.
Do not two and two make four, in
this instance?"
II won't listen to you," declared
Lila, secretly appalled, at learning
that Jack Farquahar had been Turk
ing around the studio. ats too
fantastic for words"
He shrugged and raised his trowS
specifically, but he said no more on
the subject, apparently accepting
defeat.
"And, Jack" said Lila tentatively,
you mustn't go around trying to
shadow me-if that's what you were
doing at the studio last night. I
simply won't have IL. It's-it'S an
insult to me-"
There was such irony in his gray
eyes that she looked away uncom-
fortably. Then she suddenly froze.
Across the room, at a table with
three men, she saw her father.

sadness to Herbert and drew him
nearer to her.

picion and jealousy had led him to
tread on delicate ground.
The voice of Mays husband cut
him short.

May was temporarily at loss for
words. There was Herbert, watch

tiously to pinch Herhert's arm, as a
signal that this story was manufac-
tured solely for her husbands bene-

Unfortunately, Varney saw her
action. His face darkened.

about?"
It was Dorothy who created di-
version:

cheerfully. "And she's not with the

May flashed Dorothy a glance
that said, as plain as any words:

jeopardy trying to help you out!"
Nevertheless, she was sport
enough, later on, to whisper to Her
( ri: "You understand, don't you?

Shortly afterward, Varney insist
ed that they go home AS they
were leaving, Dorothy heard him
saying wrathfully: Your poor,

to do with this French chauffeur?

T LAS only hope was that her
IL father wouldn't glance across
the restaurant and catch sight Of
her. If he would nod a greeting, it
would be all right; but the chances
were that, since she hadn't seen him
for some time, he would come over
to the table and ask questions that
might be difficult to answer in
Jacks presence.
So she turned her back to her
father, wondering what could have
brought middle-aged f1ancier up
town and into that leisurely atmos-
phere at such an hour Of the day.
