Describing the "Soviet plan," Gen

said it sis inspired by three prin-
ciples. First, reduction and not limi-
tation of ornaments; second, great
err reduction by the great powers
capable of becoming more militar-
istic than the small powers; third,
abolition first of offensive arma-
ments, leaving only purely defen-
sive arms.

further rob the mass of Negro
workers.
A Good Return.
THAT is a model scheme for you.
Notice that while Rockefeller
helps the Negro bourgeoisie along as
puts them under prison system, be-
cause they are Negroes. Notice also
that this upper class in Harlem will
submit to all sorts of in ats for
the sake of shaking hands with the
agents of Rockefeller.
AS far as we, the Negro and white
workers are concerned, that "model
scheme" in Harlem is not meant for
us. 1t is, in fact, an enemy of ours,
for it serves as focusing point for
the development of a group of Negro
bosses and exploiters, taken under
the wing of Wall Street, who are to
get some returns on the exploitation
of Negro workers, the greater bene-
fit of which, however, is to 60 to
Rockefeller himself.

Litvinoff then spoke briefly, in
sisting that the commission decide
upon the three fundamental prin-
ciples of the project first.
Japan Attacks Soviet Plan.
M. Sato of Japan led the attack
on the Soviet plan, insisting that it
provided TO- mathematical and i'm
personal reduction which deprived
each country of the right to decide
for itself what ornaments were nee
essary in view of its special condi-
tions. Count Bernstorff of Germany
supported Sato's contention.
Rene Massigli of France, who sue
ceeded Paul Boncour on the commits
sion, asserted that the Soviet prof.
ect was unacceptable because it pro-
vides four separate conventions COW
ering effectives, material, @onnage
and air forces. No nation, he said,
would ever sign general convention
without first knowing the terms for
special ones.

Out of school on May Day!
Show your solidarity with the
revolutionary workers of the
world!
At the conference, the following
resolution on Child Health Day and
May Day was adopted:
President Hoover has declared
May as National Child Health
Day. On this day the workers
children will be told how wonder
full are the conditions of the chill
dren for the building up of their
health. But have the workers
children got chance to have good
healthy bodies when they live in
dark cold homes, have poor food
to eat, and when three and a half
million children are forced to work
in factories, farms, streets and
mines, end when th.y have to 60
to schools without sunlight?
TIE workers. chill IN present q:
this conference condemn the
Health Day of President Hoover.
Instead they call on all children
with who m thew are connected to
come with them to celebrate the
real workers holiday, that is May
FIRST.
This conference gas OF record
IS denorncing the fake child
health day. We believe that the
only holiday that the workers
and workers children should cele-
brate on May First is May Day.
Workers children. Fight against
the fake health day.
Workers children. Come to the
May Day demonstration in the

Injunction Illegal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IT,
Further exposures in connection
with the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company's efforts to increase the
subway fare in New York to seven
cents were made here the other day
in connection with the impeachment
charges against former Federal
Judge Francis A. Winslow.
Opinion is divided as to whether
the impeachment charges against
Winslow can be dropped, since his
retirement" 1t is considered that
some show of investigation" at
least, must be made as result of
the expose of Winslow's connection
with the bankruptcy ring of lawyers
in New York. However, Congress
man Sirovich of New York, who re-
Gently was one of the champions for
an investigation" CT Winslow's con-
duct, declared today that he could
not see that any useful purpose
would be served" by continuing the
inquiry.
In the additional facts brought
out today, Winslow's connection
with the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company was exposed. In
statement, Congressman LaGuardia
said that the resignation of Winslow
Sin and Of itself" was not sufficient
reason for dropping the charges, in
dicating that the main reason
further inquiry should be made is
that Winslow's attitude is one of
defiance and martyrdom" instead
of "penitence.'
The charges against Winslow
point out that not only did he grant
an Injunction to the I. R. T. because
of improper and unlawful consid.
Grafton" but that he even neglected
such formalities as being in the
jurisdiction of his district when
signing the official papers.

in the mills, on the streets as
newsboys, and bootblacks and on
the farms. The conditions of the
children in the schools is another
phase of the general, growing
worse conditions of the workers
children.
On May Day we must raise our
voices in protest against the ter
rible conditions of the workers
children. We can do nothing I'M
less we are united. May Day
must become the holiday of all
workers children.
Therefore be it resolved, at this
conference called of workers chill
dren's organizations, that we go
on record in favor Of calling on
all workers children in the schools
to celebrate with us on May Day.
That our slogan will be: Out of
school on May Day-the holiday
of all workers and workers chill
dren. That we all come together
to take part in the demonstration
and parade, together with the
adult organizations Of workers,
and attend the celebration at the
Coliseum.
Oppose Religious Holidays.
Since the second of May is a re-
ligious holiday, we hereby resolve
that all workers children must at
tend school on May second to
show that May First is the In
ternational Workers Holiday and
no other.
Be it further resolved that in
spite of all prosecutions that the
schools may use against VS., we

do not fool one single workingclass
tenant anywhere.
If you live in an apartment where
you pay $40 for four rooms in a
dilapidated house and your magma
ton is struck by the description of
the "model" Dunbar apartments, you
will throw the advertisement down
the dumbwaiter shaft as soon as you
read that Dunbar apartments are
available at S77.50 per month and
$50 per month.
You will tear It up in fury when
you read that deposit of $50 per
room must be paid before you move
in towards the sale price of the
apartment and that it will take you
p years to Gown" it.
In this block of 511 apartments in
which live about 1000 people, the
average monthly payment-call it
rent or installments towards the
buying of the apartment, it is about
the same-is $14.50 per room per
month. The apartments rent for
from $50 to over 500. No dodgers
are allowed. No rent parties.
Charity" Not for Us.
This means that the mass Negro
workers in Harlem are definitely ex-
cluded. The average earnings of the
tenants living in this "model apart
ment" is from $40 to $50 per month.
They are all of good Christian
character" chosen from long list
of applicants, their lives well looked
into.
The average earnings of the mass
of workers living in Harlem is about
$40 per week. Figure it out your
self. The mass of tenants cannot
pay even $40 per room per month.
We are definitely out of the circle
of Rockefeller's charity" But
what is his idea, anyhow?
"Too Respectable"
EER. and Mrs. Bruce, the managers
AVA of the apartments, are highly
respectable people,"
"You know, this development, is
not tax-exempt," said Mrs. Bruce.
And then bristling like a society
lady on show, "We are too respect
able to ask for tax exemption. We
feel that as citizens we should bear
the duties of the state"
In fact Responsibility" bristles all
over the place. The kind of respect
ability that Mr.. Rockefeller likes to
see - responsibility that means
slavery to white masters. And these
Negro bourgeoisie, who have sold
themselves body and soul to the
white master, take up his tune for
the sake of getting a position of

Police System.

Mr.. Bruce himself-you must con-
slider that a compliment-took us
over the place. 1t is all we'll kept.
Dumbwaiters are working and are
fumigated every day. Special guards
who have been made members of the
police force, patrol the building and
see to it that the house rules are
kept. If you want to be a respect
able Negro bourgeois under the
wing of Mr.. Rockefeller you must
submit to a virtual prison system of
restraints, and spy system. The
Bruces, both trained in capitalist
universities, are fine police captains.
Going through the cellar-which
is also well kept, we found Mr.. Wood
at his furnace.

gentleman how the heating system

QOCKEFELLER does not allow any

1t appeals to the gentlemen of

directors, only one or two of whom
are Negroes bankers, but all of
whom are big Wall Street finaneiers,
to build a powerful middle class
group in Harlem. 1t is meant for
Negro store-keepers, builders, real
estate men.
1t is another institution created by
Rockefeller for the exploitation of
Negro workers with the aid of "re-
spectacle people" of their own race.

Declaring that $500 900 a year Is now
being appropriated for the park, park
way and playground development pur-
poses, Mr. Cramton said that the ap-
preparation of 100000 year for such
purposes would not necessarily mean
an increase in the taxes" here, adding
The present tax rate is high enough.
Further defending his BILL Mr.. Cram
ton said that it is designed to carry
out the development projects in line
with the wishes of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. He
added that at present plans are made
as to what ought to be done, but are
not being put into effect.
He deplored the slowness in develop
