Commissioner Herbert b. Crosby,
speaking before the Dupont Circle Citi-
zenS' Association yesterday, told Of the
completing duties Of his Office over
parking restrictions and expressed the
opinion that a complete solution OF the
trafic situation in Washington could
not be found.
In response to suggestions made that
all-night parking In the city be eliIni-
mated entirely he said that this was
practically impossible because OF the
insufficient number Of garages.
your association" he continued, is
about the only one In the city that
would make such a suggestion. II the
idea was preached at any other citizens
association meeting, I believe there
would be a general uprising"
Upon questioning as 70 whether a
larger license fee for automobiles LETT on
the street all night could be instituted
the Commissioner said that there were
so many people who can barely afford
to own automobiles that this action
would deprive them entirely OF that
convenience.
The conflicting duties Of q policeman
were fully outlined by Commissioner
Crosby in an effort to clarity the traffic
situation. Maj. Pratt is one of the best
men obtainable for his end of the job
he said, and altogether Washington has
a very fine police force.
The association is interested in eradi-
eating the distribution of a Soviet pub

ritory, and Gen. Crosby, when asked
about the possibility of having this
curbed, indicated that to his belief the
Soviet agency was within the law. Cor
poration Counsel Mcbride would be con-
suited, he assured the citizens.

A Miners Boy Does His Bit for

THIS is Mixes story as he told it to us some
l days ago Of how he helped the Daily Worker

hitched up under his chain listening to his Dad
and another miner named Bill talking over the
plight of their paper Nov with the strike on

all lies about us, it sure would go hard with us

Yah, it's the only way we have to bring the
truth to all the miners and working people,
the other striker answered.
Mike edged his way under his Dads elbow.
Pop, how can we keep the paper from stop
ping?" The boy was only eleven but he already
knew good bit about the need of miners and
all working people to organize and fight for
better conditions In the 1927 strike hadn't he
gone on the picket-line and hoered against
the yellow dogs and scabs? Hadn't his parents
explained 10 him why the miners had to live in
tWo-room shacks and go hungry and cold winter
after winter while the rich mine-owners and
their children who lived in the city had the best
of everything? Every time Mixes Dad got hold
of copy of the Daily Worker the boy looked
it over, the pictures, letters, and news of the
strike.
Pop" he repeated, how can we keep the pa
per from Stopplng?"
The miner gave his sons head playful push
Go away, boy, can't you see Bill and are busy?"
But Pa"
Bill looked thoughtful. Mike, you really want
TO help?"
Sure
Bill puffed on his roll-your-own smoke, then
spread copy of the Daily on the kitchen table.
1T says here to order bundles of Dailies and sell
EN- and get new readers. That, Mike, would help
the paper and us here at the mine, too" He
knocked his palm on the worn top and looked
toward his older friend pete, If you'll let the
boy do it, by golly, he can help us to pull out
those patch men, too! He can scamper in and
out that company patch carrying the Daily's
strike news TO the men still working. A boy
could get by the yellow dogs where us men
couldn't. And he can Jake the papers to the
striking families too"
Mike jumped up, his brown eyes shining. Can

Members

AT a meeting of the Borough Park Youth Club
IL (Which is C ontrolled by LoveStone rene
gades), held in the latter part of June, group
of fifteen members split away from them, and
have since then returned to the Borough Park
Workers Club which is left-Wing organiza-
ton honestly supporting the revolutionary
movement of the working class.
The following are excerpts from a statement
drawn up by these fifteen members
"At present we find a situation, where the
working class is going through the most trying
moments. Mass unemployment wage-cuts de-
portations lynchings war danger, defense Of
the Soviet Union, etc., are immediate issues
which demand the welding together of all forces
of labor. In all of the aforementioned ques-
tions we find that the Communist Party is the
only one that really leads the working class
Our Club the Borough Park Youth Club,
instead of unreservedly supporting the Commu-
mist Party, used every excuse to tear down and
to fight the Communist Party and its support
ing organizations Every one of our political lee
turers wound up with an attack on the Com
munist Party. We constantly spread the Rev
dictionary Age" of which every issue spends no
less than three-fourths of its space in attacking
the revolutionary movement.
Lately the situation became still worse In
dividuals of our club dare to call the Commu-
mist Party destroyer of the working class.
For joining or supporting the Party one is Ia
belled a spy and traitor, and, for belonging to
the left-wing unions, one is called scab
"Al this must Immediately come to end.
We cannot parade as working-class club and
yet fight against the very thing against which
capitalism is also fighting if it is done
with revolutionary phrases.
1--WE must Immediately condemn the Love-
stone Group and the Revolutionary Age as
the ones who constantly urge us to struggle
against the Communist Party. We must bear
in mind that the capitalists, liberals socialists,
labor reactionares and all shades Of those who
have been expelled from the Communist Party

IN the last world war each side tried to paint
! the other as a nation of devils 1t was the lie
makers task to see to it that the furious resent
nent of the people for their colossal suffering
should be directed only into the channels of
hate against the official enemy" and not
against its proper object, the war-making CAPT
talst government at home. In this field the AL
lied propagandsts far outstripped the Germans.
A tremendous propaganda was developed about
German "frghtfulness the German Army
was instructed to kill ruthlessly in order to ter
rorize the enemy population.
The hnd-hearted Allies, of course, were
against "frightfulness" Yet what do we find in
the instructions to the French army written by
an officer Montague? "Terrify and in order to
terrify destroy! One sets out to kill, one shoots
to kill one kills till there is nothing left to
kill" But the most terrible statement Of all
comes from "our own" General Phil Sheridan,
the hero" of the Civil War, Cause the inhabi-
tants so much suffering that they must long
for peace. THE PEOPLE MUST BE LEFT

NOTHING BUT THEIR EYES TO WEEP
WITH 1mperialist war is the very acme OF
capitalist robbery and murder.
In order to paint the Germans as a horde OF
devils, and also discourage tendencies to fra
termination at the front, they were accused Of
every kind of atrocity, despite the fact that
atrocities are the order of the day on both sides
in imperialst wars. They were accused OF cut
ting the hands off babies mutilating nuns (this
for the purpose of stimulating recruiting among
Catholics, crucifying prisoners, etc. Here Gin
Rumania went one story in the form OF shin
ing balls, pencils and toys of various descrlp-
tons bombs we're Systematically given out to

them the children were either blown up or hor-

Yet Nitt the wartime premier Of Italy tesu-
fies: Lloyd George and myself carried on ex-

horrible accusations some of which at least,
we're told specifically to names and places.
Every case investigated proved TO be myth.
But these apostles of truth did nothing to kill
the atrocity stories On the contrary, they
spread them far and vide for these stories were
responsible for tens of thousands of Allied and
American recruits

Yes. Kids, This Is Capitalism

This is the season in which there is a sur
plus of milk. 1t is particularly marked this year
because business depression has caused con-
siderable reduction in milk consulnption What
TO do with the waste milk is a problem The
state health authorities find it necessary to
warn collection stations not to discharge it d.
rectly into streams or into municipal sewer
systems.
IF milk in considerable quantities Is dis
charged into streams it poIiutes them and
kills the fish. If, under similar circumstances
1t is discharged into sewer systems, it upsets
the operation Of sewage treatment plants The
state authorities urge local authorities to pro-
tect the streams and the sewage disposal
plants by compelling milk handlers to obey the
Public Health Law and Sanitary Code"
Now isn't that splendid With millions of kids
hundreds of thousands of tiny babies of the
poor in New York City being stunted in body for
lack Of milk, many of them actually dying for
lack of it, capitalist government authorities rush
to protect Public Health" by ordering milk
handlers to dump it anywhere but in the
streams-it might kill the fish!

monopoly of the Borden Milk Trust, is is cents

Due to Concentration"

"Comrade Jorge:-The Soviet Union and its
successes have so bewildered its enemies that
the latter can do nothing but mouth the most
utter foolishness and contradictions. The fol-
lowing are from Ludwig Kasti's article in the
N Y Times of July s.
81. IT is a tragic confederation of circum-
stances that distress is increasing in the Carl
talist countries. ...,.
"2. Maintaining the dictatorship in Russia
is being facilitated not ony by the relatively
low standards of life of the people, but also by
thn mr. dociIity, which distress has intensified
80. 1.-THE Five Year P,an-would hardly
have succeeded had not the Communistic
agrarian psychology of the Russian village
come to its aid
I'm the first quotation, Kasti attempts to
bluff his readers into the belief that the present
crisis is thu result Of some unforeseen, acct
dental uncomfortable concentration of circuni-
stances, for which no one is to blame This is
the universal behaviour Of the high priests OF
any system based on exploitation; when misfor-
tune seizes the masses as the result of that very
system itself, these high priests try to explain
away the fact by some voodoo mystical humbug
I'm the second quotation, Kasti sets up the
principle that distress makes people docile. What
nonsense! If distress makes people docile, how
is it that 10000 miners, distressed to the verge
of starvation, are now conducting most ener-
getic struggled" CWhile the comrade is correct
in his comment on these cases. we can never
Judge the matter from the abstract question:
Does misery make for docility or revolt? Be-
cause it depends on concrete circumstances.
Workers react against worsening of their con-
ditions by revolution the Russian workers have
won higher standard than ever before ana
they would struggle against it being taken from
them, as the American miners are now strug-
gling-Jorge)
I'm the third quotation, Kast spins an argu-
ment the direct opposite of the argument used
by other miserable watch-dogs OF capitalism,
namely that Communism can never be success
full because of the inherent and stubborn 1ndl-
vidualsm of the Russian peasant
What makes it necessary for us to watch
these arguments is the fact that they are as
dangerous in their effects as they are vicious in
motive and unsound in their logic.-W.WM"

machines manufacture and spread lies to poi
