THE natives gathered around, plying
Charlie with questions. WAS it
big lion?" How many were there?"
Did it have a mane?" Where was
it?"
After some talk the situation re-
solved itself into this There was one
lion which was caught in one of the
traps. Which trap Charlie did not
know, but that did not matter greatly,
for had set the eight in a circle about
the base of clump Of crooked trees
and surrounding the carcasses of three
buck. The overhanging branches rested
in many places on the ground. It was
an ideal place to set traps, as there
were only certain number of openings
by which a lion could get at meat
placed at the base Of the trees. But
1t was the devil of place to try and
lay hands on one because of the tangle
of branches and reeds. In addition to
the trapped lion, there was at least
one other lion in the reeds, and pos
sibly two. According TO the trap boys,
this lion was in far from an amicable
frame of mind. But I could not see
exactly what we conld do about that.
Taking Charlie and my gun bearers,

marked the place Of the set. Very

was again placed in power, backed
up by right wing executive board

votes were cast.
Rifkin Vote Smallest.
Louis Rifkin, leader of the ''pinks,"
who were misnamed as progress

smallest vote of any of his party,
some 500 votes. Rubinfelt, known as
socialist, and who earns his living
not by waiting on table but by SELL

spicuously as secretary. Finkelstein,
who has become part of the office
furniture as assistant secretary, and
who was supported by both old par

The only organized fight against

with the "Idlers," an organization of

complete slate for the executive
board on the basis Of real left wing

by these militants.

Canadian Eskimo Sick,
Dying; the Government
Gives Them Banners

MCPHERSON, Canada, Jan. 20.
Ten per cent Of the Eskimo popu-
lation in the Mckenzie River valley
died during the influenza epidemic
last year, according to reports
here. The Canadian government
keeps these people in a state of
practical restitution by it's game
laws and general interference with
tribal life, without any compensa-
ting advantage of medical service or
otherwise.
The school system provided for a
people who, according to all OBJ
servers are unusually eager to learn,
is confined to the "Three RS" and
to copious instructions in loyalty to
the king-and to the fur traders
who exploit them. Instead of medi-
cine, the missionaries sent in here
provide the Eskimo with union
jacks which they are encouraged to
fly on their fishing boats.

6.--The NEG declares it's accept
ance of the line and decisions of the
9th Congress of the Comintern. The
NEG emphasizes that this line and
these directives are applicable to our
American Party. The NEG under
stands the decision on the American
Party to be that the Comintern is
supporting neither group in the
Party against the other and calls
upon the membership to carry into
effect the decisions Of the Comintern
Congress.
The Central Committee Of the
Party, instead of needing the de-
cisions Of the CT, continues to con-
duct its activities on the basis of it's
incorrect analysis of the political and
economic situation and interprets the
CT decision as an endorsement Of it's
Majority group as against the Mi
nority group in the Party. The
League will support the Party ener-
getically in all it's activities, but re-
serves the right given it by the CT
and the Cyl to criticize all mistakes
Of the Party from whichever source
they come. The NEG rejects the idea
of giving unconditional uncritical
support to either group in the Party.

acteristic which distinguishes your

In an interview given to Daily
Worker reporter recently, Hall
johnson, organizer and leader of the
Hall Johnson Negro Choir, said
that most of the members of his
group are workers, who devote their
spare time to the study and per-
formance of the songs of their peo-
pie. Some of them are students in
music Conservatives, but most Of
them, says Johnson, work every
day but sing at night. Our present
group especially is pretty hard
working bunch. I don't think there
are any of them who do singing ex-
clusively."
This popular choir sang twice at
the summer Stadium Concerts and
are expected to be on the programs
again this summer. At the concert
given by them at the Golden Thea
tire, the house was sold out and
many turned away, and upon popu-
lar request, another concert is to be
given on February 3 at the Gallo
Theatre, 254 w. 54th St., at $3.50
p, m.
johnson says that he believes the
reason the spirituals were so popu-
lar as a mass expression was be-
cause this was the only thing the
! slaves could do without inteffer-
ence from their masters, and be-
cause many of the spirituals, while
having a religious form, are &C
tually an expression of the miser-
able lives of the slaves.

THE direct cause of the renew
ed fractional struggle in the Execu-

of the struggle in the American
Party. The American League made
progress in regards to unity, and
the successes in it's work corre-
spond exactly with this period.
But this unity was marred by the
vncritical attitude of the Execu-

errors of the Party. The NEG

Right errors of the Party by it's

Thes NEG declares that the fac.

cease and calls upon the membership
and leadership to unite on the basis
of the Cyl line of unity, which
states:
"The general basis Of the group
strife is the political and organi-
rational weakness Of the YCL, es-
pecially its unsatisfactory social
and national composition. There
fore one of the chief means of
overcoming fractional strife is de-
velopment of the Leagues activ-
ity; i.e., overcoming the existing
defects and weak points Of the,
League, which are the result of the
objective position as well as its
errors; and further,
"The Cyl proposes to it's Amer
lean section not only to take up
critical attitude to the individual
groupings and their mistakes,
which is already partly done by
the Minority, but to break decisive
ly and finally all fractional con-
nections and come out in the inner
