Discipline of the Tongue
BY 4. B.

By Il. b.
1 LREADY at the present time all Party Com
"a mittees must assume the fir1neSt course to-
wards short sessions well prepared beforehand
half an hour, an hour, as rule. In accordance
with this, we must begin to work up a firm dis
cipline of the tongue, to learn and learn over
again to talk as little as possible, not to waste
time in long speeches.
"It is also important to aim firmly at short
resolutions as in this respect real scandal is
to be observed in our Parties"
From Vassiliev's Pamplet.)
The "art" of talking without saying anything
is widely developed in our Party. This is espe-
cially true among our older members and it
~anges from the unit to the leading committees.
In nearly every Party Committee we have some
comrades who feel it is their duty to speak on
every subject even tho they make no contribu-
ton. We also have another type OF comrade,
who fortunately is being eliminated, who waits
until everybody has spoken and then repeats
someone elses thoughts
The best rule to observe in speaking is to think
first and talk after. Make sure you are going
to SAY" something to actually contribute to the
solution of the problem under consideration.
Discipline of the tongue" is particularly i'm
portant today when all our Party Committees
have so many problems and so little time.
Discipline of the tongue must be accompanied
with discipline of the head When we discuss
one problem many of our comrades insist on
speaking about matters and subjects that have
no relation to the problem and that may steal
lot of time from the Party. 1t would be well
If our comrades read the above quotation many
times and memorze it,

Secretary Anti Imperialist League of the United
States.)
THROUGHOUT the world in the colonial coun-
tries there has been an intensification of
the revolutionary struggles of the masses Of peas
ants and workers against imperialism We see
this most clearly expressed in China, India and
the Philippines In this situation it Is impor-
tant that the Anti-Imperialist League follow a
line Of exposing the petty-bourgeois reformist
elements who obstruct the revolutionary masses
In their struggle against imperialism.
In this respect there is a situation in the Anti
Imperialist League of the United States which
requires immediate Qualification. Roger Bald
win, who is a member of the National Executive
Committee of the Anti -Imperialist League, as
well as being on the Executive Committee Of the
international League Against Imperialism, has
been carrying out policy Of compromise with
British Imperialism under thin disguise Of "op-
position" to it.
Baldwin has always been firm friend and
supporter Of Gandti and the Indian National
Congress Gandhi at this moment is working
out plans with Lord Irwin, British Viceroy OF
India, to throttle the rising tide of revolution
in India. He has just said: Better British rule
than civil strife" Furthermore, Baldwin ac-
lively supports the Lovestoneites and the rene
gade M. ~ Roy, who have united with every
counter revolutionary force in the United States
to support Gandhi in his horse trading maneuver
Of bartering the revolution to British imperial
ism for whatever concessions Macdonald will
grant the Indian bouygeosie
A recent resolution published by the All-1ndia
Anti -Imperialist League, with the endorsement
OF the international League Against Imperial
ism, states:

ALASKA PROMISES CHEAPER SALMON
 ID THE CONSUMER
OUTPUT 1881 WILL AT LEAST EQUAL AVERAGE; LOWER
 PRICE FORECAST

The Alaska salmon pack of 1881 promises to be equal to or to exceed the average year, and with this condition there is a pros pect also of further declines in the prices to the ultimate conSum- CT, according to an oral state ment, by R. $. Hollingshead, As sistant Chief, Foodstuffs Division, Department of Commerce.
 There are not figures available yet as to the size of the probable pack this year but it was MT. Hollingshead's belief that the out put would be satisfactory. No complaints have reached the De- partment to the effect that the salmon run" this year is small, Ia condition that always presages a small pack, so the conclusion is that the production will be some what larger than in an ordinary year. Additional information was made available as follows:
 It is an established fact that the run" of salmon in the cur rent season is much larger than the small number of last year, and as far as is known the pack CTS are equipped to take care of the larger outlay.
 The packing of salmon is a business subject to great fluctua- tions as is shown by the figures for 1929 and 1930 A decline was recorded from 100000 cases of red salmon in 1929 to 850,00 cases in 1880 The total pack of 1929 was valued at $41, 100000 and that of 1880 was $29,9OO,OOO, for all types of salmon. The figures on red salmon compare with a total pack of that type of fish with the
 record of 2,60o,00 cases in 1918, la figure abnormally high.
 AS to the current seasons op-
 eration, however, it is known that
 the fishing companies anticipat- led a larger-than-normal run" and made preparations according ly, despite the low level of prices. They were in shape, therefore, to handle the years output as speed fly as need be to assure good merchandising products.
 While the pack this year may
 even be larger than the early stages indicate, there is not the prospect of great profits for the canning companies who are faced with production costs that threat en to eat up much of their re- turns. The companies, however, are generally regarded as being we'll financed and able to stand the difficulties that have accom- panied the economic distress characterizing general conditions.

Deputy sheriffs experienced consider

tempting to go to work and others who

Attempts to unionize the shaft and
lack of check weighmen at the mine

have caused suspension.
The strike at the Rosemary mine
which started last week continued to-
day, but officials said they expected
little trouble there.
Mine officials predicted other strikes
and suspensions would result in the
Belmont County field because Of recent
wage cuts announced by several Of the
larger mine operators.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, January T.
We never know where danger lies, which
proves the futility OF worry. After
making four refueling contacts yester-
day, which is considered dangerous, we
tied a can and some refueling bags in
large bag and sent them overheard
fastened to a new-type small para
chute to assure an easy landing. The
parachute landed too soon and the bag,
not having weight enough, fioated back,
wrapping itself around the bracing Of
the horizontal stabilizer.
We lost partial control of our plane
and the bag Tapping against the rud-
der and the elevators would soon tear
propeller blast. We made an emergency
hook and used wire and tried fish,
ing for 1t, but meanwhile the chute
and bag had wrapped themselves
around one another.
Dangerous to Land and to Fly.
It was impossible to keep the plane
steady and would be dangerous to land.
Then took out the rear wall of our
cabin and considered climbing back in
side the fuSelage, hoping to be able
to untangle them through the
inspection window at the tail. But I
saw it was impossible to climb back
there without interfering Win the con-
troll cables. To be up only "a hours
and to have a thing like this happen
it was dangerous to land and dangerous
to fly and we had our hearts set on
staying up as long as it Is humanely
possible.
Then our refueling ship arrived and
our splendid refueling crew, Bud Hussey
and Ralph Derose, looked over the sit
uation. They dropped out Of sight and
