FUND EXPENDITURE
is TASK FOR CHEST
Economical Distribution Is as
Great a Problem as SoIici-
tation, Street Declares.

''The task which lies ahead of the
Community Chest of spending econom-
ically and effectively among its 81 men,
Der organizations the funds which have
been raised is as great as the task, al
ready accomplished. of raising almost
81 500, 000," said Elwood Street. director
of the Community Chest, speaking be-
fore the Probus Club at the Hamilton
Hotel yesterday.
Just as all of our energies as an
organization were put into the success
full securing of subscriptions necessary
for the year ahead. SO now these ener-
gies will be devoted, as trustees for the
contributors, to seeing that the Com
munity Chest is made as great Sue
cess in money spending as it has already
been marked as a success in money
raising" Mr.. Street continued.
Economical collection of funds sub
scribed is the first task of the chest
Monthly statements will be sent to con-
tributors whose payments are due. AS
much of this work as possible will be
handled by machinery so as TO reduce
the clerical cost to the lowest figure.
To save expense further, receipts will
be sent only when asked by the con-
tributor, because a Cancelled check is a
receipt.
sIr. Street explained methods of send
Inc funds to member agencies monthly

OF the way in which the chest is
handling the funds. He told of surveys
to be made by the Council of Social
Agencies and other organizations in
order to get a clear picture of condi-
tons in Washington.

16. The Party must seriously
take up the task Of training a cadre
Of Negro comrades as leaders, bring
them into the Party schools in the
U. S. A. and abroad, and make every
effort to draw Negro proletarians
into active and leading work in the
Party, not confirming the activities
of the Negro comrades exclusively

ultaneously, white workers must
specially be trained for work among
the Negroes.
II. Efforts must be made to
transform the "Negro Champion

Tasks of Party in Relation to Negro Work.

Is. The Communist Party of the
u. S. A. in it's treatment of the Ne
gro question must all the time bear
in mind this twofold task:
(a) To fight for the full rights
of the oppressed Negroes and for
their right to self-determination and
against all forms of chauvinism,
especially among the workers of the
depressing nationality.
OBJ The propaganda and the day.
to-day practice Of international class
solidarity must be considered as one
of the basic tasks of the American
Communist Party. The fight--by
propaganda and by deeds-should be
directed first and foremost against
the chauvinism of the workers Of
the expressing nationality as we'll as
against bourgeois segregation ten
denotes of the oppressed nationality.
The propaganda of international
class solidarity is the necessary pre-
requisite for the unity Of the work
ing class in the struggle.

9. While organizing the Negroes
into unions and conducting an ag-
gressive struggle against the anti
Negro trade union policy Of the A.

attention than it has hitherto done
to the work in the Negro workers

of the Party among the Negroes.
The creation of working class Or

our influence in the existing work

leadership. After careful prepare
tory work, which must be started at
once, another convention Of the
American Negro Labor Congress

II. The Importance of trade

upon the Trade Union Educational

pletely neglected the work among
the Negro workers, notwithstanding
the fact that these workers are OBJ
jectively in a position to play very
great part in carrying through the
program Of organizing the morgan

established between the T. U. E. l.
and the Negro masses. The I. U

Negroes in the OLD unions, and il
the organizing of new unions fol

separate Negro unions.

The C. E. c. of the Ameri-
can Communist Party itself stated
in its resolution of April 30, 1928,
that "the Party as whole has not
sufficiently realized the significance
Of work among the Negroes" Such
an attitude toward the Party work
among the Negroes is, however, not
satisfactory. The time is ripe to be-
gin wits..- sy a courageous
campaign of self-criticism concern
ing the work among the Negroes.
Penetrating self-criticism is the
necessary preliminary condition for
directing the Negro work along new
lines.

ence of American imperialism among
the workers, not only prevails among

Elected in various forms in the Party

more than So per cent of the en-
tire population. The great mass of
the Negro agrarian population are
subject to the most ruthless eX-
ploitation and persecution of semi
slave character. In addition to the
ordinary forms of capitalist eX-
ploitation, American imperialism
utilizes every possible form of slave
exploitation (peonage, share-crop-
ping, landlord supervision of crops

pose of extracting super-profits. On
the basis of these slave remnants,
there has grown up a super struc-

American Negro Question Part of World Problem.

7. The Negro question in the
United States must be treated in its
relation to the Negro questions and
struggles in other parts of the world.
The Negro race everywhere is an
oppressed race. Whether it is a
minority (U. S. A., etc.,, majority
(South Africa or inhabits So
called independent state Liberia,
etc.,, the Negroes are oppressed by
imperialism. Thus, common tie
of interest is established for the
revolutionary struggle of race and
national liberation from imperialist
domination of the Negroes in vari-
Gus parts of the world. A strong
Negro revolutionary movement in
the U. S. A. will be able to influence
and direct the revolutionary move
ment in all those parts of the world
where the Negroes are oppressed by
imperialism.
S. The proletarianization Of the
Negro masses makes the trade
unions the principal form of mass
organization. 1t is the primary task
of the Party to play an active part
and lead in the work of organizing
the Negro workers and agricultural
laborers in trade unions. Owing to
the refusal of the majority of the
white unions in the U. S. A., led by
the reactionary leaders, to admit
Negroes to membership, steps must
be Immediately taken to set ur
special unions for those Negro work
ers who are not allowed to join the

bers Of the Workers Party protested
against Negroes eating in the res
taurant controlled by the Party. In
Detroit, Party members, yielding to
pressure, drove out Negro comrades
from social given in aid Of the
miners on strike.
Whilst the Party has taken GER
tain measures against these mani
festations of white chauvinism, new
ertheless those manifestations must
be regarded as indications Of race
prejudice even in the ranks of the
Party, which must be fought with
the utmost energy.
ii. An aggressive fight against
all forms Of white chauvinism must
be accompanied by widespread and
thorough educational campaign in
the spirit of internationalism within
the Party, utilizing for this purpose
to the fullest possible extent the
Party schools, the Party press and
the public platform, to stamp out all
forms Of antagonism, or even in
difference among our white COM
rades toward the Negro work. This
educational work should be con-
Quoted simultaneously with a cam
paign to draw the white workers
and the poor farmers into the strug-
gle for the support of the demands
of the Negro workers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-12

tive participation in all these cam
paigns, and at the same time to
bring the white workers into the
struggle on behalf of the Negroes
demands. 1t must be borne in mind
that the Negro masses will rot be
won for the revolutionary struggles
until such time as the most con-
scious section of the white work
ers show. by action, that they are
fighting with the Negroes against
all racial discrimination and persecu-
ton. Every member of the Party
must bear in mind that "the age
long oppression of the colonial and
weak nationalities by the imperial
list powers, has given rise to a feel
ing of bitterness among the masses
of the enslaved countries as well as
a feeling of distrust toward the OPP
pressing nations in general and to-
ward the proletariat of those ma
tons" (See resolution on Colonial
and National Question of Second
CongreSs.)
10. The Negro women in indus
try and on the farms constitute a
powerful potential force in the
struggle for Negro emancipation.
By reason of being unorganized to
an even greater extent than male
Negro workers, they are the most
exploited section. The A. F. Of L.
bureaucracy naturally exercises to-
ward them a double hostility, by
reason of both their color and sex,
It therefore becomes an important
task of the Party to bring the Ne
gro women into the economic anc
political struggle.
20. Only by an active and strenu
Gus fight on the part of the whit
workers against all forms of oppres
sion directed against the Negroes
