And the manner in which the work
is conducted hinders the politicali-
cation of the units. Take my unit for
example and from what l know of
other units this condition is general
throughout the Party.
More than half of most meetings
are taken up with technical matters
which can easily be handled by eff
cient functioning committees. Hours
are wasted at the meeting in getting
volunteers for litrature distribution,
in discussing what corners should be
used for street meetings, what litera-
ture should be sold there, who should
be the speakers, etc. These are
problems that can easily be dealt
With by a we'll functioning agit-prop
committee which can play great
role in drawing into the scope of it's
activity comrades who absent them
selves from unit meetings as well as
those who attend them. This will
allow much more time for real politi-
cal and practical discussions in the
units. The same thing can be done
with other problems and committees.
This will establish the authority of
the committees and destroy the sit
uation where the organizer of the
unit has all the work piled on his
shoulders.
1t is not an accident that our unit
has not discussed the Gastonia sit
uation, although the strike has been
on number of months: or that we
have not discussed the furriers'
strike, or any other of the problems
that every one in the Party must
understand. The functioning of the
unit in it's present form obstructs
such discussions and therefore the
interest in our meetings. is not so
great on the part of new elements.
Comrades are asked to come on
the picket line in strikes, but the
response would be greater and much
more wholehearted political under
standing of the issues involved would
be had, if the comrades discussed the
matter in their units.
By combating those who fight the
decision in open or concealed form,
by Analysing and correcting the mis-
takes of the Party, it is certain we
can make the Address a means for
the building Of our Party into a
mass Party of the American prole-
tariat.

raising the question of a Negro Re-
public today is wrong 1t is wrong,
because it attempts to settle now a
question which can only be settled
in the fire of the struggle. We can
not tell today whether the form that
self-determination will take will be
a Negro Soviet Republic. Whether it
will mean the reorganization of the
state boundaries so as to allow this
form of self government by the
Negroes themselves, or what the con-
crete form self determination shall
take. The comrades in the leading
fraction of the ANLC must be
criticized for their failure to raise
in the program of the ANLC the
question of elf-determination along
with the economic demands of the
Negro peasants.
A serious shortcoming of our
Party is in the field of organization.
The question of the War Danger
places very seriously before the
Party the question of its apparatus
in connection with illegal work.
Much more attention must be given
to this question than heretofore. The
extent to which this question is
dealt with is one of the means of
judging how serious the Party takes
the growing war danger.
The present functioning of most Of
the Party units do not involve the
greatest number of comrades in the
work of the Party. The activity of
the units is limited mainly to those
comrades who attend unit meetings.

strikers is not greater than it is
TIL phase of our Party work which
suffered mostly from the fractional
period has been our Negro work.
Not only was it neglected because Of
the factional struggle, but the Party
was treated to a gross distortion of
the line of the Sixth Communist In
ternational Congress on the Negro
question. First, there is the position
Expressed in the article of Comrade
Pepper where he put forward posi-
ton that was rejected by the Sixth
Congress, namely the advocacy by
the Party Of a Negro Republic, in
connection with the slogan of self
determination in the United States,
for the oppressed Negro Masses in
the south. Also we must severely
criticize those leading Negro Com
rades who accept the Address of the
Communist International and still
oppose the slogan of elf-determina-
ton for the United States.
Why is the slogan of self-de-
termination necessary. Because the
Negroes are an oppressed race, IA
per cent of whom live in the "black
belt" in the south. We fight for
self-determination, which means that
the Negro masses must decide for
themselves whether they want a
separate state and what form of
governmental expression they want
to have. Of course it is clear that
the question of the emancipation of
the Negro masses can only be settled
with the proletarian revolution. The

N YEW YORK, March 22-If they
doubled Madison Square Gar
den's seating capacity it would
4 be too small for the 10-round
match between Jimmy Nc
Larnin and Ray Miller tonight
One hitter has been known to jam
the Garden to the doors; when they
match two sluggers there isn't an in
door arena capable of holding all the
flstic faithful who would like to be in
on the death.
Prospects are for a crowd of close
to 81 900 and gate approximating
100000
The faithful fan doesn't care espe-
cially what the boys are fighting for
SO long as they fight. Miller and Nc
Larnin are battling for no title; nothing
In particular is at stake.
Fighting at 14o pounds, Jimmy will
outweigh his blonde Chicago rival by
from six to eight pounds. Jimmy has
high hopes of landing a welterweight
title bout before the year is out, and
he won't be likely to get it If he fails
to avenge the technical knockout de-
feat Miller plastered on him in Detroit
last year.
Miller is primarily believer in the
offensive efficacy of the left hook. Nc
Larnin does not particularly favor
either of his hands.
The consensus seems to be that If it
goes any further than four rounds 1t
will be only because Miller and Nc
Larnin develop too great respect for
each others hitting ability.
The betting has McLarnin on the
long end of S-to-5 odds.
