Hoover Talks About Children

Herbert Hoover, president who has organized medicine

The National Hunger March
By Fred Ellis

garine which was all the workhouse
authorities would give item to eat,
thus carrying out a very effective
demonstration.
The reformist sabotage, and the
encouragement thereby given to the
workhouse authorities to treat the
marchers hari hly, had a sinister Sc
qIel in one instance. At Birming-
ham the Lancashire marchers were
preparing to leave the workhouse
because the authorities would not
give them proper treatment, when
the aid of the police was summoned,
and a regular affray took place. Sew
eral of the leaders of the contingent
were severely beaten up by the po-
lice.
Heroic March.
A final word must be said about
the truly heroic endurance shown by
the marchers in covering hundreds
of miles by road through the most
terrible winter that has been known
in England for over thirty years.
With up to twenty and more degrees
of frost, through binding snow
storms, over roads impossible to
motor traffic, their clothes often
frozen stiff upon them, the marchers
battled their way to London.
One need only quote the blunt re-
port of the Plymouth (west of Eng
land) contingent which experienced
some of the worst weather: mo
casualties and spirit undaunted."
That is the spirit which has
brought the marchers to London,
determined to present their twelve
point charter of immediate demands
to the government-they have al
ready handed in request for an in
terview with Baldwin and the prin-
cipal cabinet ministers-and, what is
more, determined to rouse the whole
working class to action for those
demands.

Article by Marx on
American Civil War
in March Communist

Marks first article in the New
York Tribune on "The American
Question in England" is an out
standing feature Of the March COM
munist, monthly, theoretical organ
of the Communist Party Of the U.
S. A. In this article, written in,
London, Sept. 1s, 1861, Marx gives
penetrating analysis of the causes
of the American Civil War and ex-
poses the hypocrisy of the organs of
the British ruling class.
Another article OF special i'm
portance in the March Communist
is Stains speech on the internal
struggles in the Communist Party of
Germany, in which he gives a bril-
liant analysis of the problems of
capitalist sterilization and proletar-
ian class struggles.
In conclusion of his reply (begun
in a previous issue) to Max East
mans "Marx, Lenin and the Science
of Revolutions" A Chiik thoroly ex-
poses this pretentious renegade's
Complete illiteracy on questions of
Marxism and Leninism."
A timely feature in the March
Communist is an article consisting
of series of extracts from Lenin's
various writings on the question of

ventnon of the Communist Party,

Derby contingents; at Lancaster the
Scottish marchers "held the largest
open-air meeting ever seen in this
town." Reports like these came in
day after day from the marchers.
Through the Durham coalfield the
miners and their wives came troop
ing to the roadside to call good
luck!" to the northeast coast march
ers, and through the Lancashire cot
ton area the mill girls lined the
streets to welcome the Scottish con-
tingent and put their pennies in the
collecting boxes.
The amounts of money collected
themselves testified to the solidar-
ity of the workers with the march
ers. The Scottish contingent alone

headquarters the sum of s 40; and
at Mansfield, where the Yorkshire
marchers gained entry to, and put
their case before a labor party
meeting, they collected 6 4 on the
spot.
Reformist Sabotage.
Owing to reformist sabotage the
marchers frequently had to spend the
night in the poor law warehouses;
and the workhouse authorities often
attempted to treat the marchers as
"casuals" ii. e. vagrants). This move
was scotched by the determination
of the marchers, who in one case
left the workhouse and paraded the
town (Saffron Walden) carrying
aloft the slabs of bread and mar
