work, which is symbolized in their
attitude to the Negro Champion,
which they usually do not buy to
read themselves but ito give it TO
some Negro worker"
Fairly Successful Meets.
In Kansas City, in Boston, in Chi
cago, in Detroit, in Cleveland, there
were fairly successful memorial
meetings from an agitational view
point. The National Negro Depart
ment co-operated with the districts
wherever requested in sending out
national speakers to cover their af-
fairs. Comrade Moore was sent to
address the memorial meetings in
Boston, in Philadelphia, and also
travelled to Buffalo to find that in
spite of request for speaker no
arrangements had actually been
made for a memorial meeting. Com
rade Moore also spoke at the Har-
lem memorial meeting. Comrade
Hall spoke at two memorial meet
ings in the South, where for the
first time the Party and the A. N.
L. C. are penetrating on a healthy
basis, drawing in proletarian ele-
ments of both races and discarding
the professional and petty business
element which heretofore hindered
the Party's growth in the South. In
no district, however, outside of Dis
trict Two, was there any success in
carrying out the financial campaign
for the Negro Champion.
In sharp contrast with the failures
of the campaign and the poor at
tendance the memorial meetings
was the methodical arrangement
and splendid success of the Negro
Champion Dinner in District Two
Over five hundred persons were
present at this dinner, where five
hundred dollars in cash was raised
for the Negro Champion, with ovel
$1,000 pledged by various organiza'
tons and individuals. The dinner
was success both additionally ant
financially.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements, of which Comrade King
was chairman, deserves the highes
praise for the efficient way in which
the affair was arranged. So do thu
comrades who co-operated with Thu
committee, and particularly Com
rade Joseph Brodsky who gave in

same time carrying on an theological
campaign against chauvinism among
the white workers.
This opportunity was muffed be-
cause of poor arrangements and I'M
proper handling. Boston, perhaps,
had the greatest success with the
memorial meetings, with Detroit
next. In District Two, with its more
than 100000 Negro population, only
two memorial meetings were held,
one in Brooklyn which was fairly
we'll attended, the other in Harlem.
This latter was an absolute farce,
with only about rs workers present.
Very few of the white comrades
were present, indicating that the de-
cision Of the Communist Interna-
tional to the contrary, there is still
marked underestimation of Negro
work in the Party. The poor at
tendance of Negro workers can be
traced to the failure of speakers to
show up for the street meetings held
previously to the memorial meeting.
Wrong Conception.
The Negro comrades were partic-
ularly to blame in this respect. How
ever, the white comrades must get
over the idea that street meetings
in Negro communities are absolutely
impossible unless Negro comrade
is present to speak. If the white
comrades will give the necessary at
tention to study of the problems of
the Negro masses they will not con-
tinue to consider themselves made
quately equipped to address meet
ing of Negro workers.
Nor will they fail, as now, to en-
list the sustained interest of Negro
audiences. Their failure in this re-
spect is generally due to the fact
that they do not know how to link
up the Party's program and slogans
with the special problems facing the
Negro workers.
Their attitude on the Negro ques-
ton is not one of study of the special
problems with which the Negro
workers are faced but either of
mechanical and confused CONFUSED
because of failure to give the neces-
sary study to Communist Interna-
tional decisions on the Negro) adj
herence to Communist international
decisions, or of sort of condescend-
ing interest in the Party's Negro

valuable aid both at the dinner and
before.
Department Failings,
Of course the National Negro De-
partments had its failings, too. The
department fell down in the matter
of getting out the Negro Champion
in time for distribution at and be-
fore the memorial meetings. This
was due to two causes, the absolute
lack of funds and the shortage of
forces at the center where one COM
rade has for the past three months
been handling the work of three. The
first reason was, of course, the de-
cisive one.
The department should also have
printed an ANLC leaflet and Party
leaflet for national distribution
among the Negro masses during Ma
tional Negro. Week, but here again
the lack of funds was decisive fac
tor. They must, however, share the
blame for the failure to get out
these leaflets.
Had they responded with orders
for these leaflets and with remit
lance, as requested, the heritage of
funds at the center would have been
overcome. All they did, however,
was to order leaflets, conveniently
forgetting to forward remittance.
Must Learn by Mistakes.
Our Party must learn by these
mistakes and in the task of pushing
our work among the Negro masses
we must seek to benefit by our past
mistakes and experiences. We must
learn the necessity of proper prep
aration for our mass demonstra-
tons. And we must theoretically
carry on our work among the Negro
masses and the fight against white
chauvinism, against ruling class
terrorism, against discrimination in
the trade unions, etc. We must al
ways bear in mind the words of the
Communist International:
at must be borne in mind that
the Negro masses will not be won
for the revolutionary struggles I'M
til such time as the most conscious
section of the white workers show,
by action, that they are fighting
against all racial discrimination and
persecution. Every member of the
Party must bear in mind that the
age-long oppression of the Colonial
and weak nationalities by the i'm
perialist powers has given rise to
feeling of bitterness among the
masses of the enslaved countries as
well. as feeling of distrust toward
the depressing nations in general
and toward the proletariat Of those
Nations"
Rally to Negro Work!
National Negro week is over, but
our Negro work is just begun. We
must mobilize every district, every
section and every unit for full, ac-
tive participation in the struggles Of
the Negro masses. We must in
creasingly intensity and dramatize
the struggles of the Negro masses.
We must clearly and concretely
dramatize the historic role of the
Communist Party as the champion
of the most oppressed section of the
working class, and for the fight
against lynching, against jim Crow
ism, etc., and for absolute political
social and racial equality for the
Negro race.
Down with jim Crowism!
Down with lynching!
Down with capitalism and i'm.
perialism!
Down with white ruling class
terrorism!
Down with segregation and race
prejudice!
Long live international and inter.
racial working class solidarity!

CLOSE VOTE SEEN
ON FLEXIBLE PLAN
Senate Expects First Ballot
to Be Held Today or
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate today approached q vote
in its controversy over the flexible pro-
visions OF the tariff bill, with the out
come increasingly doubtful.
The addition Of Senator Steck. Dem
ocrat, Iowa, to the support of the regu-
lar Republicans, who, with President
Hoover. hope to retain the seven-year-
claim Of their leader, Chairman Smoot
of the finance committee, to several
Democratic votes.
On the other hand, leaders of the
Democrats and independent Repub-
hcans, who seek to take from the Exec
utive his power to change tariff rates
upon accommodation of the Tariff
Commission continued to express con-
fldence in the outcome.
Issue May BE Close. ~
able as the week opened, but the trend
of the controversy has made tomorrow
apparently the earliest ballot could be
expected. Despite the claims of a ma
Jorlty by both sides, members of each
group still recognize that q single vote
may decide the issue.
In aligning himself with the Repub-
lican leaders, Senator Steck, like his
colleague, Senator Fletcher Of Florida,
voiced regret at his inability to stand
with the majority of his colleagues in
demanding curtailment Of the PreSi-
dents power. He held that flexible pro-
visions in the present law had, in the
main, been administered to the benefit
of American farmers, labor men and
industry.
The Senate today had before it a
wide range of proposals from which
to select in reaching its decision on
the issue. Smoot is sponsoring an
amendment which would have the ef-
feet OF writing into the bill a flexible
provision very similar to that in the
Fordney- McCumber act.
Two Democratic Proposals.
The Democrats have two proposals.
one to repeal the flexible provision and
a substitute for this to confine the
Presidents part in the operations of
the flexible principle to reporting Tariff
Commission recommendations to Con-
greSs. They also are supporting the
proposal by Senator Norris, Repub-
lican independent of Nebraska. who
favorS their substitute. to restrict Con-
gress. in taking up such recommended
lions, to consideration of the rate or
rates affected.
Still another has been advanced by
Senator Nye, Republican independent
of North Dakota, which would continue
the Presidents authority to raise or
lower rates, but would give either
house Of Congress power to nullify his
action by resolution within 90 days
after he proclaims the change.
