The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-12-18
By HUGO OEHLER.

The Communist Party of America with its
voluntary labor power and present social COM
position has not yet been able to obtain the
necessary degree of continuity and efficiency
in the process of the class struggles partici-
pated in. This chaotic condition cannot be eX-
planned away because of financial and leader
ship handcaps, nor can we dismiss the problem
by pointing out wrong policies applied for
immediate activity.
The first stage of any struggle of the work
ers against the capitalist to be most effective
must be preceded by preparation stage where
we organize our forces for the battle. Spon-
taneous strikes and struggles are not preceded
by the preparatory stage and in such cases, we
are unable to choose the most favorable mo-
ment. Spontaneous action of the workers with
enter the field months OF weeks after the strug-
gle indicates the vanguard's inability of its
weakness as leaders of the class struggle, I'M
less such occur only in isolated incidents. If
it is spontaneous struggle, we must march
in and work as fast as possible and make up
for lack of preparations. But if we continually
go into battle without preparations or if we
enter the field months or weeks after the strug
gle starts we must realize our movement is
confronted with grave shortcomings and on
examination and overhauling is essential.
So often we find situation where lack of
policy from the center results in disastrous
shortcomings to be mechanically followed by
criticism of the field fraction by the center.
Criticism of mistakes committed by the field
fraction do not make up for lack of policy
from the leading committees. So often leading
committees hand down policies without any
ways and means of execution and without one
iota of cooperation to assist the committee in
carrying out instructions. Such decisions that
read we'll are worse than no decisions because
they create a false feeling of security and
incorrect organizational status.
The process of action in approving correct
strategy and tactics cannot be separated from
the execution Details need not always be
taken up in leading committees but leading
committees and comrades must see that details
can be executed in proper committees other

Give Family Away
From Home a Treat

For the away.from-home- on
Christmas person. there is no
more welcome present than a
Christmas box, and I can't think
OF a gift which is more fun to
fix. Whether the gift be a mod
est packet of homemade cookies,
or big box with roast turkey
as headliner,, it is sure of a
hearty welcome.
Attractive wrappings is one of
the chief charms of the box
second only in Importance to the
food! Crepe paper will transform
mere brownish carton into a
real holiday container. Green
wax paper, ribbon and holly (real
or artificiaD all play their part.
An attractive effect is obtained
by putting half a dozen cookies
in the center of a sheet of waxed
paper, gathering the ends to-
gether on top of the cookies and
tying a strip of red ribbon
around the paper so that the
cookies seem to have a flower
on top. A spray of holly stuck
through the ribbon adds to the
festive air.
Meat LOaf-especially the aspic
variety, lends itself to appropri-
ate decoration. A small one

of pimento representing the pet
ais and a bit of yolk of hard
cooked egg in the center is de-
lightful. When a very special de-
sign is to be made. it is usually
better to "Set" the design by
pouring a little of the gelatine
mixture very carefully in the bot
tom of the dish and letting it
become firm before the rest of
the meat loaf ingredients are
added. In this way there is no
danger of the design slipping and
becoming too futuristic to stand
and chance of recognition. When
the meat loaf is sent in the dish
in which it is made-there should
also be a sign on top, so that it
will look particularly handsome
when the wrappingS are removed.
To Make a Meat LOaf-Pur-
chase a meaty shank of veal,
have the bone split in several
places, cover with a quart of
sailed water and add a sliced
onion and a bouquet of sweet
herbs. Cook slowly until the

Of course, neither meat loaf or

delivery stamp should enable
them to travel a thousand miles
with no i'll effects. One thing
which should be remembered in
packing a roast fowl is to include
short carving knife and fork,
for while many a bird has been
torn from limb to limb with the
assistance of only a nail file or
corkscrew, it is not the most
delightful way of tackling him.
The carving set should be mex

best-for no one wants to be bur
dened with having to care for
and returning an expensive one.
Although turkey alone is de-
licious, it pals much sooner than
if it is accompanied by bread
and butter. A loaf of bran
bread is especially nice to include
in the Christmas box. for it re-
mains moist much longer than
