walskl, in true opportunist fashion, brought up
many issues of the past in fractional manner
ami avoided answering the criticism levelled
against his opportunst errors. Wherever Com
rade Kowaski did recognize errors, this was
done in the most formal manner and was i'm
mediately followed by explanation of circum-
stances as a reason for his errors which in
themselves, became errors of an even more
major character. Not only that Comrade Ko-
walsh, engaging in open polemic defending his
wrong line even went so far in his attack
against Comrade Gebert as to state that the
Central Committee understood this situation
and agreed with our publication of the adver-
tisements." In this, Comrade Kowaski also
trlei to present this opportunist line as the
line of the Communist Party of the United
States.
In this whole reaction to lf-criticism, Com
rade kowalski portrayed typical petty bour-
geois attitude which has nothing in comrnon
with proletarian self-criticism. Comrade Ko-
walski has not yet learned that it is precisely
through proletarian self-criticism that the
Party ties with the masses are strengthened
and the masses carried forward
The resolution adopted by the Bureau, up
holding the criticism of Comrade Gebert and
condemning the factional opportunist line of
Comrade Kowaski was a start in the right
dlrectlon showing that the Bureau is becom-
ing conscious of the existence of the right
danger But at the same time, the Bureau did
not yet realize fully the seriousness of the
right danger in the work among the Polish
masses of which the article of Comrade Ko-
walsh was typical example, and approached
the whole matter in mechanical manner, deal
ing with persons instead of classes and class
lines.
Allowing the holding of a general fraction
meeting of all the Polish Party members in
the city of Detroit at which this resolution
was acted upon and organizational measures
recommended, is break of the democratic
centraism of our Party and reversion to
the old federationism of our Party which must
be rooted out and in which the Polish fraction
is still behind many of the other language
bureaus where much progress has already been
made in this direction.
On the basis of the situation among the
Polish masses and the situation in the Polish
fraction, the Central Committee of the Party
considers it necessary:
/. That the Polish Bureau be reorganized
and new proletaran forces from the basis
drawn into it.
2. That the editorial staff of the Trybuna

Robotniczy also be reorganized and proletarian
forces drawn into it.
8. The whole organization and work among
the Polish workers must be looked at from
the basis of the class struggle in the Unitel
States and be connected with the building of
the revolutionary unions (the T.U.U.L.) and
other mass organizations, under the leadership
of the Communist Party.
a. The District Language Department shall
call general fraction meetings of the Polish
speaking. Party members to explain to them
the tasks before them and mobilize them for
the correct line on the basis of this statement.
In view of the facts brought out above, the
Central Committee finds it necessary to take
measures against Comrade Kowalski and re-
move him as acting editor of the Trybuna
Robotniczy. He will continue to do work for
the Trybuna Robotnczy considering that he
now recognizes his errors, voted for the resou-
ton and promised to carry out the Party line
as presented by the Central Committee in the
every day work among the Polish masses Pro-
viding this is done, Comrade Kowalsk will
continue to do work under the direction of
responsible editor.

Then come the great demonstrations on the
streets of America, which resulted from the
economic crisis of American capitalism. Let
us take the March 9th demonstration that in
volved hundreds of thousands Of workers in
the cities and industrial centers of the country.
In New York over 100000 workers. not only
demonstrated against the whole capitalist sys-
TEN but went into open clash with the police

this is no accident. The Fourth Congress of
the RI.L.U. said that these battles would take
place exactly because of the economic paralysis
of world capitalism, and which has burst the

THE figures of the output of industry for the
first half of the present business year
the second year of the Five Year Plan-have
just been published. They reveal that the col
ossal rate of increase of production achieved
in the U.S.S.R is not only being maintained
but accelerated. The year 1929 showed an
increase of production of 1928 per cent, a rate
never achieved by any country before. Last
year the increase was "a per cent. Compare
this with the increase of Is per cent in the
United States last year, year of tremendous
boom, and s per cent in Great Britain. The
figures for the first half of this year show
an increase of 28.8 per cent, which far exceeds
the rate of increase provided for this year in
the Five-Year Plan, viz 21.5 per cent. The
present volume of output is twice that of pre-
war Russia.
Some Higher.
In some industries the rate of increase is con.
siderably higher than the average. For ex-
ample, the electrical industry increased output
by 592 per cent compared with last year and
the output of agricultural machinery increased
by $50 per cent. The tremendous growth of
these two industries alone is sufficient indi-
cation of the rapid rate of industrializatlon of
the country and Of agriculture in particular.
In striking contrast to the growing unem-
ployment in capitalist countries, there has been
sharp increase in the number of workers
ployed in industry in the U.S.SR. The in
crease for the last months has been equal tc
11.8 per cent The 7-hour day is being intro
duced steadily and at the end of February 28,6
per cent of the total number of workers en-
ployed were working 7-hour day.
Encouraging as they are, the output results
were regarded disappointing here. AS you
know, the success achieved last year in the
fulfillment of the Five Year Plan for the year
gave rise to the slogan "The Five-Year Plan
in Four Years." and accordingly, the output
plan for this year was fixed to produce an in
crease of 80 per cent instead of the original
rate of 21.5 per cent. Consequently the output
for the first half of this year is under the plan
SO per cent. Naturally, it took a little time
before the industries could get into their stride
for this higher rate of increase and the reports
in the Soviet Press in the early part of this
year may have provided material to enable the

Statement of Central Committee
on the "Trybuna Robotniczy"

THE rehabilitation of the workers of this
country, widespread in all sections, can
be particularly observed among the masses of
Polish workers in this country who are mainly
engaged in the basic industries, steel, auto,
mining, etc. At the same time the contact Of
these Polish workers with the conditions in Po-
land bear an influence upon them-Pilsudski's
fascist dictatorship on the one hand, the grow
ing influence of the Communist Party in Po-
land on the other hand helps to further ac-
celerate and deepen this rehabilitation.
The Party that has hitherto had little in
fluence among the Polish workers, has now for
the first time broken through and recruited
many Polish workers into the Party and ire
mendously increased its influence among them.
At this very time when the masses of the
Polish workers, as part of the American work.
Ag class, are rapidly moving forward. the
leadership of the Polish Bureau of the Party
has shown itself to be incapable, because of
its Right tendencies and many opportunist
mistakes, of leading and developing the strug-
giles among these masses. These right wing
errors, reflected in the whole work of the
Bureau, were particularly evident in the Try
buna Robotniczy under the editorship of Com
rade Kowalsk.
The Trybuna Robotniczy did not fulfill its
the Polish language. Many serious errors
were committed in dealing with questions such
as unemployment, China and the United States,
etc., and through the publication of advertise
ments, soliciting readers and subscriptions for
fascist periodicals and books and the regular
carrying of advertisements of government off
Gals, politicians, ETC., on the ground that a
Communist paper printing these advertise
ments presented these enemies of the workers
as doctors and other professionals" and not
as the class enemies of the toilers This
Right opportunism showed its true character
in the resistance to the correction of the
wrong line and took the form of an attack
against the Party through articles published
by Comra3e Kowalski under the pretense of
self-criticism, in which he not only resisted
criticism, but openly defended his wrong posi-
ton, refusing to recognize his errors.
Comrade Kowalski answered the correct cr-
tcism of his errors, contained in an article of
Comrade Bebert in the Trybuna Robotniczy by
fractional defense of his opportunist errors.

Preparations for the Fifth Congress

of L. and the socialist party have not only BE-
come partners with the capitalists, but the
ALL. has become an open fascist agent, beat
ing down the workers, and the socialist party
has come out in open betrayal of the workers
at Marion, Elzabethton, Greenville, etc.
In all of these southern struggles the ALL
has sold out the workers. At Gastonia, it de-
MED that the worker has a right to self-defense
and spurred the bosses on to lynch-law meth
DDS against the workers. In the Southern ILL
nois miners strike, the officials of the United
Mine Workers of America had their hired
thugs along with the bosses police and militia
forces, fighting the workers who were on
strike.
William Green, president of the ALL,
makes trip to the South and is feted and
banqueted by the Southern Chamber of Com
merce, the city and public authorities, and de-
clares that the fight in the South is not be-
tween the bosses and the ALL. officials, but
between the ALL. and the Communists-and
that this fight would go on to bitter end.
1t is for these reasons, mainly, that the
Fourth Congress of the R.ILU. pointed out
new turn in policy and tactics-a turn for
the creation OF independent revolutionary trade
union organizations of the working class, into
which must be drawn the broadcast masses of
workers--the majority of the working class.
That these steps have been taken in the efforts
to build the Trade Union Unity League as the
revolutionary trade union center of the Amer
lean working class is in line with the policy
laid down by the R.LLU. The crystallizing of
this organzatonal form will be the important
task Of the Fifth Congress of the R.LLU.

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson.

What are you?
"I'm a business man." you
say. Or a saleswoman, or a
carpenter, or a housewife, or
student.
Sometimes the answer comes
easily, happily. It is easy to
see that you like your job-that
1t floods your being with pride
and content.
But quite as often, the
answer doesn't come happily. It
lags or rasps. There's discon-
tent or indifference or actual
bitterness in your tone. Some
things wrong. Whatever you're
doing, you're not satisfied. You
make excuses. You blame other
people. Don't! No one else is
responsible for your success or
your failure. The answer to all
your problems lies within your
self. You have said what you
do, what you are, in your outer
life. But what do you do; what
are you in your wish.life?
Answer that and you'll solve
your every riddle.
Never heard Of a wish life?
Every man has one, as surely
as he has blood and bones.
Deep within every heart lies a
secret pattern Of dream and
desire-a secret pattern Of what
that man wishes life to be. And
his happiness depends on the
adjustment he makes between
that wish-life and his outward
occupation.
Sometimes he can fit his
daily existence to that secret
pattern. Then he Is a happy
man. His life is all Of a
piece, within and without. His
strength is not wasted by Sc
cret hungers and rebellions,
But tragically often, a mans
surface life and wiSh-life are
poles apart. Then he is truly
"a city, divided against itself"
In comparison with that vivid,
inner kingdom the actual world
seems dull and futile. So he
takes refuge in his wish-life
from all disappointments and
failure, from criticism and con-
sequences. And gradually he
ceases to fight or even to face
reality, finding all compensa-
tion in that secret hide-away,
Half the people you know are
leading meaningless, disjointed
existenceS. That Is why. They
have never been able to find
sxpreasion ot theix Tish+NYes.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-.

Clothes are important, even
to men.
In fact, there is an anatomy
Of clothes, a physiology Of
clothes, and a psychology Of
clothes.
Clothes influence you in all
these ways.
They affect your mind as well
as the minds Of those that be-
hold them.
The fit of the clothes may be
termed their structure, their
anatomy. Tight-fitting clothes
hamper your movements and
. restrict YOUR activities. Ham
pering garments prevent you
from getting around as you
want to. They make you 1rri-
table and nervous.
On the other hand, garments
that are too loose, that flap
around the body, produce a feel
ing Of looseness and slouchi-
ness.
The result Of this upon your
mind is a feeling of indiffer-
ence and IT don't care" attitude.
Poorly fitting clothes draw at
tention to any peculiaritieS Of
figure or gait that you may
possess.
In this instance, the result on
your mind is self nsciousnesS.
BY physiology Of clothes I
mean the suitability Of your
clothes as to thickness and thin
ness and its consequent effects
upon your well-being.
Thin clothes in cold weather
permit too free body radiation,
hence q needless strain is placed
upon the circulation to keep the
body warm.
The result interferes with
mental concentration.
Thick clothes in hot weather
are also bad. Lack Of radia-
tion makes for scattered atten-
ton,

Transatlantic
By Archibald Henderson

The edge Of excitement over
transatlantic flights has been
somewhat dulled since the stu
pendous thrill of Lindbergh's
spectacular achievement.
It was Kipling who said that
he travels fastest who travels
alone. But it is highly doubt
ful II any more solitary trans
atlantic flights will be attempt
ed. The hazards are too great
and the human strain is too
oppressive.
Although we have become
habituated to the triumph Of
bridging the Atlantic by air,
the difficulties, stresses and
hazards of the flight have
scarcely been minimized or de-
creased. in any appreciable
I1eaure.
Kingsford-Smith and his
companions, the latest to tri'
umph, were probably saved
from disaster, not so much by
their skill as aviators, excep-
tional as this was, but by the
fortunate functioning Of the
radio apparatus. And this, too,
when the goal was almost in
sight. -.
The Byrd flight narrowly es-
capped disaster, the inability to
locate their position almost pre-
venting the possibility of ef-
fecting a landing.
Z Every plane which is set for
transatlantic flight suffers the
initial handicap Of overweight.
The load of fuel and other
things is always excessive, be-
cause a wide margin Of safety
has to be maintained. This re-
