CARELESSNESS IN STREET
SURFACING BOOSTS TAXES
Repair Charges, Almost Without
Exception, Are Made on
General Funds.

For every square mile city covers
there are roughly 20 miles Of streets.
On that basis city Of 100000 people
has around $50 miles of thoroughfares
and the six largest cities in the United
States-New York, Chicago, Detroit,
Los Angeles, Cleveland and st. Louis
have an average of 1000 miles
At any rate, wherever people are
massed together in cities the problem
Of providing adequate motoring facili-
ties is intensified and If carelessness in
street surfacing has been permitted
cities find themselves confronted with
exorbitant and recurring charges with
a large portion of the streets Of little
service.
Taxpayers may wonder why their
city bills are so high through failure to
observe that street repair work may be
the chief reason. Repairs on streets
are almost without exception made
from general tax funds and when the
citizen appears at the city hall to pay
his tax bill he quite likely has no
knowledge of how much of his money
is going into the filling of up holes in
pavements, pavements that should have
been discarded long ago for modern
concrete surfaces.

The Importance of a certificate OF
capacity does not appear to be firmly
fixed in the minds of n number of Dis
trict Reserve officers, who, upon COM
pleting the required number of years
in grade, find that they do not possess
che required professional qualifications
for promotion or reappointment. A
certificate Of capacity Is an instrument
in writing which certif1es that the ON
tons prescribed for promotion or for
reappointment in his present grade. II
Is issued by the corps area commander
and Is limited to qualification for the
next higher grade only.
The securing of a certificate Of ca
pacity involves q professional examina-
ton Of the officer, which includes mill
tary knowledge and a practical test to
demonstrate the application Of such
knowledge. Certain waivers and ex-
emptions may be earned by field officers
who satisfactorily complste the course
at the Command and General Staff
School and by company officers who
complete a course at the special service
schools. Completion of the subcourse
covering a specified subject will also
exempt an officer in that particular
subject, provided 1t is completed within
a period of five years.

MAY DAY IN CHINA

mobilization and developing of the working
masses on the basis of economic and immediate
demands towards the organization Of general
political strikes and armed uprisings against the
order of imperiahsts, Chinese bourgeoisie and
landlords, particularly against the Peoples As
Sembly' scheduled on May 5.
In view of the fact that the development Of
the revolutionary tide is still quite uneven, and
that the labor movement still lags behind the
peasant struggles this May Day, with correct
demands and organization according to the local
situation, furnishes an important opportunity for
the revolutionary forces to bring about and has
ten the maturing of the revolutionary situation
on national scale.
The Communist Party and the Red Unions Of
China undoubtedly realize this, and have al
ready began an energetic organization of May
Day celebration. The Marking government, aided
by American Imperialism and other imperialist
powers on the eve of May, starts fresh CAM
paign of most sayageous white terror against the
workers particularly. their vanguard the Com
munist Party. Martial law has long been de-
cared in Hankow and scores of Communists
have been publicly executed. Even in Hardin,
Manchuria, martial law was also proclaimed. The
ruling class of China attempts to terrorize the
workers before May Day. This bloody mainten-
ance of their decaying system of exploitation
and oppression is of no avail. About million
heroic fighters have already given their lives for
the revolutionary course for the last few years
Today, we find fresh tens of millions take up the
struggle and have succeeded in establishing their
own government, the Soviet Government of
Workers and Peasants
On May Day of 1881, the Chinese workers and
peasants, together with hundreds of millions of
their toiling brothers in the capitalist and
colonial countries will play an important part
in the international struggle for power of the
proletariat.

BY r. WEICKERS (Section 2, New York;
A LII meetings of the Needle Trades Workers
II Industrial Union Especially those of the
furriers)-that is, meetings Of the unemployed,
open forums, meetings of active members, gen.
eral membership meetings and SO on, with the
exception of the Shop Delegates Council-are
conducted 80 per cent in the Jewish language.
My contention is that in all these meetings
at least rs per cent and more can and do un-
derstand the English language
I maintain further that with the use of the
Jewish language, two thirds of the workers OF
our trade are excluded from these meetings,
making it impossible for them to understand
and know the conditions prevailing in the trade
and thereby they are forced to act individually
and independently, ready to accept the lowest
conditions of work and wages
/ maintain, further that all the Swedish Ger
man, Hungarian, Czechoslovakian and Ru-
manian, as well as American workers, make up
two-thirds of the workers in our trades the
retail trade is completely in their hands.
The almost exclusive use Of the Jewish Ian
guage is one Of the main contributory causes
which hinders our Industrial Union, especially
the furriers, from strengthening and broadening
out the basis of our activities in the class strug-
gle generally, and in the low conditions of our
trade in particular Instead of breaking down
the fence of national and race prejudice, it
strengthens 1t. The workers have a perfectly
just excuse not to join our union.
therefore would like an official declaration
whether am wrong by rising often in meetings
and insisting on the use of the English language.
Comment: The comrade is absolutely correct,
for the reasons that he has himself given in his
article. Any organization except language So

ings English is not only the language of the
American workers, but also the COMMON

PARTY LIFE
Against Language
Sectarianism
Conducted by the Organization Department of
the Central Committee, Communist Party, lisa.
BY D. REGIS Erie, Pal

THE language organizations here in Erie, al
though they are supposed to be working class
organizations, don't feel it necessary to do any
thing in the way of helping us to do some real
work. We have as an example the Jewish
branch of the International Workers Order
This branch has pulled out its chest and tried
to give everyone the impression that it is big
shot and that any other organizations don't
count at all. Yet when conferences are called
for different purposes they find it very con-
venient to forget all about it, AS far as financial
support is concerned, that shouldn't be men
toned at all. This is what happened at the
May Day Conference, where every language or
ganization was given call to attend and to give
their financial support wherever possible
Language organizations are to help draw the
workers closer to the revolutionary movement.
Yet in this branch, since it has been organized,
those members who also belong to the Party
have dropped all their Party work, and always
put the work of the Order before any Party
work that they have to do. In other words,
they are good example of what language
organization should not be.
Comment: In general we think that this
article supplies some very necessary criticism.
With regard to the point raised in the last
paragraph, there should be no division or con-
flict between Party work" and mass organiza-
ton work" Work in mass organizations is
Party work, provided it is carried on in Com
munist spirit and according to the instructions
of the Party Committee Work in fraternal or
carnations, however, should under no condi-
tons be taken to mean that the comrades con-
cerned do not have to carry out Party work in
their shops, or the necessary amount of work
in their units. The activities of every Party
member must be decided upon by the leading
Party Committee.

Written Before May, FirSt-)

THE history of the celebration of May Day in
L China is comparatively very short but it is
full of militant and fighting spirit In the inter-
national revolutionary labor movement This is
particularly so in the year Of 1881.
About thirteen or fourteen years ago, May
Day was brought forth to China by radical in
telectuals who realized the significance of May
Day no more than that of other democratic
ideas from the Western countries. But the young
proletarat of China which is destined by the his
toricaI settings to play the leading role in the
economic and social emancipation of the coun-
try. Immediately seized the internationalist and
revolutionary meaning of May Day as day of
international solidarity and mobilization for
fresh struggle against capitalist imperialism.
Every year, May Day marked another important
stage in the organization of the working masses,
their strike struggles, and their role in the anti
imperialist movement. Several congresses of the
All-China Labor Federation and C. P. of China
who once had an organized strength of about
two million and a half workers, we're held on May
Day.
May Day of 1881 is of special Importance in
the revolutionary struggle for power in China.
Fifty million workers and peasants are already
celebrating this workers holiday under contrast
ing atmosphere with their brothers in other
