One of the most important and criti-
cal aspects Of the Washington street
traffic problem, according to the view
Of the Automobile Parking Committee
Of Washington, which has Just COM
pleted, with the help Of experts, an ex-
haustive study of the subject. has to do
with the transportation requirements of
Government employees.
The committee has come to the con-
clusion that the automobile parking
problem, at least for the Government
buildings in the so-called Government
triangle now being erected, "can be met
directly and permanently solved within
the area itself"
The committee and rs experts, in
Guiding Charles w. Eliot, director of
planning for the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, calls atten-
ton first 20 the fact that the large
Government departments, employing
thousands Of workers. located VT hin
the business district OF the city, CT ate
double loads"
"These burdens are felt in gafic
movement during peak hours" says the
cally in connection with the automobile
terminal facilities. The problem will
be greatly intensified in the near fu-
ture through the construction OF the
triangle group, which viii concentrate
in the central business district addi~
tional thousands of employees.
THE location of this group. being i'm
mediately adjacent to the area of mass

q district where traffic and parking
conditions already are very difficult,
presents traffic questions Of serious i'm
portance.
Solution Is Needed.
efficient operation of the Govern
Inent and the maintenance OF o rea-
sonable degree of business accessibility
combine to demand that O solution OF
these problems be found before physi-
cal changes render adequate treatment
impossible
While the details of this parking
problem have not yet been worked out,
1t is known that plans are under con-
sideration for some sort of an arrange

.Z.ent employees, especially those work

any more than the white rulers, are reasons
why it is necessary for the white section of
our Party and for the revolutionary trade
unions to take up the Negro question as its
own, not to relegate it to the Negroes, but
to take the lead in developing the struggle,
together with the Negroes against all these
forms of inequality.
This brings me to the question of white
chauvinism. White chauvinism is the theology
of the American bourgeoisie and reflects itself
very strongly among the American workers
and even in our Party. 1t is necessary to de-
velop very sharp struggle within the revo-
utionary unions, in the unions of the A. F.
of l.. and among the white workers generally,
against white chauvinsm, by taking up this
struggle on behalf of the Negro workers in
our everyday work.
A word on term that has gained currency
in our Party, black chauvinism. This must be
discarded in the Party as something nom
existent. There are certain tendencies among
the Negroes to fight against the whites and
American imperialism and this reflects itself
in distrust, a justified distrust, of white
workers also, who have for centuries par
ticpated in white prosecutions against the
Negroes. This is not chauvinism, this is a
healthy reaction on the part of the Negro
masses, and out task is to take this resent
ment Of the Negroes that rightfuly exists
against the whites and tur this into con-
scous revolutionary struggle against Ameri-
capitalism as SUCH This must be the gen.
eral line which the Party follows in the devel-
opment of its struggle, and if it does this we
can recruit large masses of Negro workers
into the A. N. L. c. In this way we can
develop a national organization among the
Negroes, that can destroy the influence of the
Negro bourgeois reformists influence and place
the leadership Of the Negro masses in the
hands of the A. N. L. c. We can draw them
into the proietarian revolutionary movement
and in our struggle against American capital
ism, we can defeat it and emancipate both
the white and Negro workers in the United
States.

The yardstick by which we may measure
the carryig out of the Shock Plan is the
extent to which we have profoundly changed
our methods of work. The League has hereto
fore worked as an organization isolated from
the masses of young workers. We have not
maintained contact with the everyday life of
the young workers. We have carried on little
concrete activity in the shops mills and mines.
And until now we have failed to find the
METHODS of work which would remedy this
condition. To make the TURN to mass work
is the burning task for the American League
today. And the Shock Plan of Work is the
immediate method with which the YCL is
STARTING to make this Turn.
Control Over Activity.
1t would be incorrect to state that the stu
alton of the League previously was due to
complete inactivity on the part of our League.
Much energy is spent on work. Much time is
given. Many comrades work very hard.
However, there is little control this
activity. We jump from one campaign to an
other. We rush from one factory to the other.
Many comrades work on the basis of emotional
"enthusiasms." We must learn how to con-
centrate our energies, where to concentrate.
away he has to buy another one. Thus Mayor
few of his rich friends will keep them clothed
and absorb the enormous piles of overproduced
commodities that the capitalists find no
market for. Thus he would kid the workers
into believing industry will soon open up and
there will be jobs for all. Thus he hopes to
make workers decide and starYe quietly.
But workers will not be fooled by any of
these cheap side-show antics of Mayor Walker
The mayor and his wealthy friends are not
going to solve the crisis. The army of unem-
ployed is growing and, with wage cuts and
speed up in the factories, the situation of the
workingcass is becoming more desperate. The
workers, under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party and the Trade Union Unity League
will fight for unemployment insurance and
against the whole rotten capitalist system
which has nothing to offer workers but misery
and quack charity in the form of second hand
clothes and breadlines
We Do Not Want Jimmies Suit
And right here we wish to inform Mayor
Walker that we don't want any of his cast-off
clothes. We don't want his breadlines. We
won't forget such gross insults. We want re-
lief in the form of unemployment insurance
We want $25 a week for every unemployed
worker and So for each dependant, as incor-
porated in the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill of the Communist Party. We want
this to be paid by the industrialsts and out of
funds previously used for war preparations
And we don't want it next year or five years
from now. We want unemployment insurance
now.
Workers! Answer Jimmie Walkers insult
to the working class by supporting the Work

Capitalist Witch Doctors

Frequently the boss papers run yarns about
Voodoo-ism in Haiti, or other likely spots
which Wall Street and the Marines think pro-
fitable to occupy. The idea being that propa-
ganda in the United States to the effect that
all Filipinos have tails and the Haitians are so
backward" as to believe in Voodoo and the
"evil eye" helps justify the enlightened" Yam
kee marines to sit on the lid while the United
Fruit Company rakes in millions from the Ia
Dor of these backward" peoples.
But no Haitian Voodoo doctor could get off
any more superstitous barney than one Of
the ace Economists" of American business, Mr..
Roger Babso who has big organization to dope
out what way the business cat is going to jump.
Babson made speech in New York, Sept. II,
and here is what this great economist" said:
Business depressions are caused by dis
sipation, dishonesty, disobedience to Gods
villa general more collapse. Statistics show
this plainly. With equal precision they show
how business depressions are cured. They are
cured by moral awakening, spiritual revival
and the rehabilitation or righteousness"
After this kind of hooey, we most strene-
ously urge all Communists not to be so darned
modest.
large percentage of unwilngness of
Communist workers to approach other workers
is wholly unjustified timdty in expressing
the MARKHAM knowledge they already possess,
for fear of running against some wise guy
who thinks he can floor them by demanding to
know how they dare talk about economics when
they cannot tell when King Phillip the Second
of Spain was born.
Let every Communist worker be filled with
the pride of knowing the ABC of Communism
and let him go forth to battle even the pro-
fessors of economics in the biggest colleges,
secure in the knowledge that he has an edge
on any boss witch doctor.

Amt We Just Grand!
By JORGE

Some anonymous skunk, who wears his ears
long with nothing special in between, sent us
a clipping from the Wobbly paper the Indus
trial Worker" of Seattle, with the pencilled
commando ''See this you Russian~*+*W Sorry
we can't use the word he did, but we've not
got too free a press in this land Of liberty. But
we obeyed the command and this is what we
saw:
photo of whopper of a building, three
floors, modern, spread over two or three acres,
with great broad windows. A magnificent drive
way entrance, in front of which are parked
nine cars of all sizes, no less.
And over the top of the picture 1t says: "Neto
Home Of the Industrial Worker" Below, long
caption telling how the paper had moved to
its new home' which is much more commo-
dious," etc, at 3131 Western Avenue Seattle.
Now, we may be Russian, though 1t happens
we're not. But there's one sure thing, that
are not suckers enough to believe that the
Wobbies have inherited all the building shown
in the photo. Yet that is what the Industrial
Worker infers and that is what caused the
poor simp who sent US the clipping to swell up
like poisoned pup and vomit his best billings
gate in our direction in a way to say: See hoo
prosperous qCe are"
Maybe that $1,250O00 which Matte VOL said
Bill Foster got from Moscow got mislaid, and
since the Wobblies are specializing now in
stickups door-mat thievery and bootegging,
they have nailed it and set up Clifford B. Ellis,
the "Four-Minute Man" who won the in
Coos Bay, with new home for incubation
of counter-revoutionary Science"
Or maybe Ellis is merely copying Hearst and
simply faxed the picture. Perhaps some Seattle
worker will wander down that way and satisfy
our mild curiosity to know whether the Wobbly
bootleggers have turned philantropists,
whether Ellis has merely scabbed Hearst
again.

nevertheless we can say that it was one of th'
worst districts in its complete ignoring of tbs
Election campaign. We failed to see that thr,
this campaign we had the possibility of reaching
wide sections of the toiling youth. We did no;
see the necessity of connecting up the daily eco
nomic problems of the young workers with the
vital political problem of the. election campaign
And we did not realize the extent to which ths
youth is today controlled by the Capitalist Par.
ties Had we all these things we woult
have deemed it vital necessity to participat.
actively IN the Election campaign. Then the
question may be asked if the League is not par.
ticipating in this most important activity, then
what is the League life like? To this we are
forced to answer: Our activity in the units il
too abstract, too disconnected from struggles. Ar
example. A League unit in Warren, Ohio meets.
Comrades are studying "Wage, Labor and CAPT.
tai" The comrades politely listen while others
take turns reading from the book. Finished. Now
we open the meeting. What is taken up? Dues.
Communications. The organization of some af.
fair or other. Adjournment. No attempt was
made to connect up this study with some COZ,
crete problem or task The comrades forgot that
there was campaign called the Election Cam
palgn True, this is not correct of all League
UNITS. However, this must serve as a glazing
example of how not to carry out our work. The
campaigns of the Party and the League must
become the constant topic of discussion in every
League unit And not abstract discussion, but a
discussion based ON concrete activity. Draw
proper lessons from this activity. Learn from
this activity how to approach and win young
workers. And above all we must learn to react
to events which take place in the neighborhood
of the District, in the neighborhood of the Sec,
ton, in the neighborhood of the unit. These are
questions to which no formal directive can be
sent out. We cannot make blueprint of what
political issues to react to, and how, and what
each single unit must do. But the Units and the
Districts should consider this seriously, discuss
experiences, develop initiative, and bring all
these experiences to the October Plenum.
