That is why we inscribe on our cleo

to overthrow the bourgeois rule and
to establish the dictatorship of the

ton of counter-revolutionary enemies

mia:
1.-THE Communists openly state

committee to combat un-American

the Communist Party"
The socialist party Of today is an
acknowledged institution of Ameri
can capitalism, is the party of mil
lionaires, professors, well-to-do pro.
fessional men, and "blue-blooded'
aristocrats of counter-revolutionary
organizations rather than a party of
the working class. There is only
one party of the working class in
this country, and that is the Work
ers (Communist) Party of America
Millionaires are our deadly enemies
Well-known professors ridicule and
combat our fundamental theory Of
Marxism-Leninism. The Witches"
of the American revolution are vel
ling for the prosecution attorney
against the Communists. Commu-
mist leaders are jailed everywhere.
Election campaign meetings of the
Communist Party are broken up
everywhere.
There was a past when leader
of the socialist party, Eugene V
Debs, went to Jail for defending the
revolutionary interests of the work
ing class. Today the leaders of the
socialist party are corporation law
yers, ex-preachers, and sit at the
same table with millionaires and
Marx-killing professors. Today the
Communists, rank and file workers
of our working class party, the op-
pressed Negroes who are beginning
to recognize our Party as the cham
pion of the Negro masses, the Com
munist candidates and organizers
are the ones who fill the jails of al
most every state, of almost every
city in the south and in the indus
trial centers of this country.
The socialist party may receive
large vote on election day, but that
will not be an expression of the sup
port of the working class. But every
vote the Communist Party receives
on November will be a vote for
the proletarian class struggle
against Negro oppression. against
imperialist war, and for the over
throw of capitalism.

which makes the outbreak of new
war an immediate danger. The
blood of the young workers will
again be spilled in the contest be-
tween declining British capitalism
and upward-developing American
capitalism for the domination of
the world.
1t is not booze and religion which
are the important election issues for
the American young workers. 1t is
the struggle for the lettering of
their present miserable lot, and the
feminist struggle against the CAPT

main election issues for the young
workers.
These issues are raised in the
platform of the class struggle of the
Workers (Communist) Party and
the Young Workers (Communist)
League.

WASHINGTON. July 25-New evidence relating to the migration of primitive man from Asia into America by way of Alaska is be- ing sought this summer by a Smithsonian archaeological expe- dition headed by Henry B. Collins ir., assistant curator of the division of ethnology of the National Mu- scum.
 The exepdition left Seattle aboard the revenue cutter North land' in May for St. Lawrence Is- land and the coast of Seward Pe- nlnsnia, to carry forward a system attic study of Alaska. The study was started two years ago by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, noted Smithsonian anthrcpologist, for the Bureau of American Ethnology. which the in stitution directs.
 Dr. Hrdlicka's expedition sur veyed the Yukon river region and the coast of Alaska It resulted in the discovery of number of old village sites and probable routes of migration and convinced him

OFFICERS PLANNING
 GRANGE CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, July 25.-A two- fold significance is attached by high officials to the sixty-second annual convention Of the National Grange to be held in Washington Nov IA to 23.
 Louis J. Tabor, national master, points out that it will be the first meeting held by his organization following the presidential election, and that the convention will be in the nature of a homecoming the Grange returning almost a million strong to the place of it's birth three score years ago.
 The early life of the organiza- tion and the outstanding events that have led to it's more than S0O,0 paid memberships in 30 states will be portrayed in elabor- ate pageantry. There will be a program to recall to the assembled delegates the benefits accruing to agriculture through Grange parti- cipation in national legislation.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Ap- proximately 1850 American Marines on duty at Tientsin, China, will shortly be homeward bound.
 Orders for immediate withdraw- al have been issued by Acting Secretary Of Navy Robinson after discussion of the Chinese sit nation with State Department officials.
 The action was recommended by Rear Admiral Bristol, com manding the Asiatic Fleet, and Brig Gen. Butler, in charge of the Marine forces in the Orient
 In addition to the Marines, 13 planes and about 95 officers and men of the Marine Flying Corps have been ordered from Tientsin to Guam.
 A total of 90 officers and 1,437 Marines will remain in the Tientsin district. There are 5S officers and 1,030 men at Shang hai. Approximately 60 vessels are in Chinese waters. No change in the number of vessels or blue jackets is contemplated.

 As it did before the seventieth congress. the Grange again will champion the export debenture plan of farm relief. Tabor de- clares, offering is as a means to make the tariff immediately ef- fective on agricultural commodi- ties of which there is an export able surplus. It also will cham. pion necessary machinery for the proper handling of burdensoms ,, seasonal and regional surpIuses.

CANNON FALLS. Minn., July 25. To a rural cemetery here Presi- dent Coolidge will come July 20, from his vacation home in Wis consin to help dedicate , Civil War memorial.
 The executive will journey sev- eral hundred miles from his Ce- dar Island Lodge to this agricul- tural community of 1.500 persons to speak at the unveiling of a statue of Col. William Colvill, com mander of the First Minnesota h. fantry, first regiment offered for Civil War service in the Union cause.
 It is because of an immortal charge during the battle of Gettys- burg that the memory of Colonel Colvill and the First Minnesota lives. Here 262 men-the mem- bership of the regiment at the time charged, and only i7 lief. the field when combat was oyer.
 The memorial, ircluding a statue of stone, with tiblet telling of the charge. an ornamental stone stairway leading % the knoll oli which the Colonel and Mrs. Col will are buried, and harmonizing landscape, is the gift of the One Hundred and Thirty-fftn Mime sota Infantry, National Guard regiment. which proudly traces it's descent from the heroic First Min nesota
 The regiment will come from it's summer encampnert at Lake City, go niles away, for the dedication.
 Its officers and enlisted men are contributing funds, and hope for completion of the memorial within a year.
 Lawyer, editor and soldier, Colo nel Colvill was born in Chautau- qua county, New York, in 1880. He needed the call of the west. and soon after 1850 began practicing law in Red Wing, not far from here.
 When President Lincoln called for 75,0o0 men a St. Paul com pal.y was the only organized mili- tary unit in the state. Despite this, Gov. Alexarder Ramsey. then in Washington. offered a regiment of 1000 M.nnesotans, making this state the first to tender troops.
 In April, 1861, the call went out. The volunteers found Fort Sneli- ing neglected, but raised the stars and stripes and were formally mustered i-to service.
 At Gettysburg Union forces had been driven back. reserves were on the way. but could not arrive in time and the First Minnesota was the only regiment ready. Led by Colonel Colvill. the yoluateers charged to protect a flank and thei held until helD arrived.

that the American Indian prob ably reached this continent as the descendant of those ancient trav-, elers. Collins followed up this work last year with an intensive study of Nunivak Island and sev- eral hundred miles of the main-. land.
 His work and that of Dr. Hrd- licks indicate the existence of an early culture in Alaska quite dis tinct from that of the Eskimos-- of a people who. driven out of Asia or urged on by wanderlust, presumably settled there for q few. generations, but finally moved southward where life could bo sustained more easily and the nat-| ural elements were not so hostile.
 The expedition this summer will attempt to substantiate reports oe ancient village sites on St. Law renee Island and the Seward Pen- insula. If they can be f0un&s Collins plans to excavate thoIn with the help of the Eskimos. Ho purports also to take physicnI measurements of living Eskimo1.
