TORY. WINS lively
COMMONS FIGHT
Near Mob Violence Attends
Bye.EIection in Laborite
Area Crushing New Party
M tha Associated press.

~ the Associated Press.
ASHTON UNDER LYME, England
May This traditional Laborite con-
stituency has sent Tory to the House
of Commons after rousing bye-elec-
ton which ended last night with Sir
Oswald Mosley'S new party" leader
being nearly mobbed:
An angry crowd OF several thousand
LAboriteS swarmed about the meeting
crat; Lady Mosley, q daughter OF the
late Marquis Curzon, and others had
gathered to listen to returns which
decisively downed the FIRST new party"
candidate to make the race for the
Jeered and Blamed.
The crowd jerred and hooted Sir Os-
valid and his group, blaming entrance
Of their candidate into the race for the
Conservative victory, which was by 9
very small margin. Sir Oswald, guarded
by police, finally left the hall and went
through the crowd to his hotel.
The defeated new party" candidate.
A. Young, was struggled out side door
under heavy police guard, while
women of the new party waited until
the demonstration had quoted somewhat
and then left. There was considerable
anxiety that an attack or other violence
would be attempted upon leaders of the
party.
The vote in the bye-election was:
Lieut.. Col J. Broadbent, Conservative,
1920; j. Gordon, Laborites 11,005; A.
Young, new party" 4,472.
Sir Oswald Delighted.
From the safe precincts Of his hotel
Sir Oswald expressed himself delighted
with results Of the election and said
that II his party had entered the cam
paign sooner 1t undoubtedly would have
won. He and Lady Cynthia came here
only last week, stumping the conStitu-
ency from one end to the other.
Lady Cynthia's smart clothes, In
district where the shawls and ginghams
Of the working woman and housewife
are prevalent, excited considerable COM
nent among the voters.
Sir Oswald's platform in the election
campaign was the same as that on
which he and handful of followers in
the House Of Commons deserted Labor
ranks and formed new party. It held
that more drastic, socialiStic measures
are needed to cure Britain'S economic
ills.

throwing back copper shares for most
of the gains they made two weeks ago.
There are still sinister reports on
both credit and political conditions in
Germany. With information lacking
as to what Is going on in the minds
Of the German people and the absence
of any understanding on early matur-
ing short-ter1n credits, it is easy to
arouse feeling Of alarm over the pos
sibilities in this critical situation. The
request that has just been made by
the German government to the Bank
for international Settlements to ap-
point a committee to investigate Ger
many's ability to pay her obligations
under the Young plan is the first move
toward a definite program for antici-
pating conditions that will have to be
dealt with at the end of the mora
forum period. Announcement Friday
that an armistice had been arranged
between Japan and China, after Japan
had secured the greater part of the
advantages she desired in Manchuria,
helps to improve the entire interna-
tional situation.
Wall Street always looks upon the
converting of Congress as an event to
be dreaded-possibily less so this year
than usual, for there is a disposition
to credit even the most radical ele-
ment in Washington with an epprecia-
ton OF the seriousess of internal con-
ditions and a willingness to postpone
legislation that would further unsettle
business. There seems to be general
agreement among the leaders Of both
parties that higher income tax sched
ules must be put into effect in order to
cover a portion of the deficit in pros
pect this fiscal year. This is likely
to have an importat influence on GER
tain classes of securities during the
remainder of 1881.

NEW YORK, November 2l.-The

points, which had been widely regis

mixed assortment Of narrow gains and

from the lowest in the last few minutes
The market was helped for a time by
the firm opening of the wheat market,
following an upturn at Liverpool, and
q more hopeful attitude toward the
railway executives conferences with

action in wheat, during the final hour

PATRIOTS IN PRINT

THE most dramatic news published by
= the newspapers in 1880 was written,
not by single inspired pen, but by
thousand determined ones.
1t was a day to day epic cast in countless
forms and fed to the presses from the in
dustrial centers of America. Altogether
it was the greatest document of faith
that appeared in print during the
troubled and anxious year.
That this document was clothed as ad-
vertising should not stint the praise which
is due. That it was selfish literature Gf
you want to be cynical about lt), l1tera-
ture of the dollar, makes it's contribution
to the general good all the more sur
prising and Commendable.
Every penny that a Manufacturer spent
for advertising in 1880 discharged an ex-
traordinary responsibility. Tosay that this
advertising sold merchandise is common
place. To say that it supported local
merchants in keeping trade-Stimulation
going is to beat the tom-toms for the
obvious. But to think of this national
advertising as a social service of inCal-
Culable moral value is to enjoy the sober
satisfaction of looking at truth too often
kept in hiding.
The Washington times., 1931-01-31

Advertising is the love-Story of modern
commerce. This nation knows itself in
dustrially more through advertising than
any other literature or any other form of
expression. To large masses of people ad-
vert1slng--With it's tremendous panoramic
pattern--1s industry'1n action. They may
not kn0y it as that, but they feel the
business SmOmentumO of their country from
thousands of fleeting impressions gained
from advertising and nowhere else.
Imagine, then, the United States in 1880
if all adver tis1ng had been suddenly
stopped. Recall the newspaper headlines:
Unemployment, sliding stock market,
shrinking sales, Curtailed earnings. Recall
the fearful gossip that Crept all through
the nation.
National advertising held the ground
against all these assaults upon human con-
fidenCe. 1t didn't preach. 1t resorted to
no sentimentalltleS nor fake Optlmlsms.
But it kept one picture constantly before the
eye of all the peopLe-thep picture of Business
not in rout; but Business still ordering its
affairs and destinies; still keeping its head
and its feet.
For this altruistiC job the country owes
advertising stable debt But it is not a
debt that advertising would ever desire
to collect.

The L. S. N. R. and the Role OF
the Youth

tain baseball grounds. The track team can carry
on a similar struggle. The same can be ap-
piled to the boxing TEN. These teams, in march
ing on the Fairgrounds can wear certain slogans
such as "Down With Race Discrimination"
For i!,e Unity Of the Negro and White Youth"
Down With Bosses Control Of Sports" etc. This
club can also carry on some educational ac-
tivities, can be used for the selling of the Lib
orator to the club members and to the members
Of other clubs they come in contact with, and
can also be taught self defense work Other
methods can be used in reaching the youth, such
as the building Of youth centers, with reading
rooms, libraries, swimming pools, ETC. This will
help us to win many Of the youth from the
boss controlled organizations CYICA, YWCA,
etc).
Our immediate task must be to work in the
existing clubs and win their affiation to the
IaSNR. 1t is necessary to stress that in doing
this we must have correct policy. The first
thing we ought to do when we go to club for
the purpose Of winning IL over Is to explain
our program and develop a discussion around
it by the membership It will be our task TO
try to get them to agree with our program and
then ask them for affiliation. This should be
decided by ma jority vote Of the members.
II we go once, and some agree, others don't,
and we think that the sentiment at that time is
not ripe to take the vote we must be a little
flexible, come second time and discuss specific
instances Of discrimination that the club comes
in contact with tying 1t up with our program
This will help win the other members to US.
On the other hand, II we have group Of the
club members agreeing with us, and some OF the
others are not clear on our program, and the
club has reactionary leadership, then we must
form group Of the Young Lberators inside OF
that club for the purpose Of winning the others
to our program and to carry on struggle
against the reactionary Leadership. This can be
applied to the YMCA's etc. II we had group
OF the LsNR in the YMCA, We would be able to
carry on real struggle against the reactionary
leadership there.
We also have the task Of building youth I1sasR
groups. These groups. however. should be built
around concrete issues OF struggle against racial
oppression, and their main task should be to de-
vclop support for the Liberator. We must be
very careful in forming groups. We must not
make the mistake Of taking young workers that
agree with our program and forming them into
a group OF the Young Lberators when these
young workers already belong to a youth club.
Instead OF doing this. We must 60 to these
young workers clubs, and use thsm as basis
for carrying on activities among the whole club,
and winning them 70 our program.
Work Among the Children

overlook the role Of the children. 1hs children

Bread and Milk
BY JORGE

out in California there is something called the
California Housewives League whose presi-
dent a Mrs. Cleverdon. has announced war;
on high prices for milk and bread. 1t seems
that milk for which the dairy farmers get four
and one-half to five and one-half cents, sells at
retail in Frisco for IA and Is cents; large loaves
of bread sell for "a to IS cents.
There's no doubt that these prices are robbery
But it will not be stopped by Mrs. Cleverdor,
who, being q bourgeois herself and the league"
being ruled by capitalist policies and tactics
thinks she has done something wonderful by
appealing to the government of the state to in
vestigate"
Also, she is very kind to the robbers, suggest
ing only that milk be reduced only to IL cents
and bread also to IL cents, which would sure
leave a lot of profit for the robbers. letter
we get from North Dakota says that farmers are
getting only seven cents a dozen eggs-while
here in New York any egg not old enough to
vote sets you back about As cents dozen.
We have no faith in wars" on high prices led
by capitalist ladies' And so far as we've OBJ
served, our working class housewives don't seem
to be very active in fighting high prices on food.
Maybe they think the masses are not interested.
But VIC think they are.
