them and distributing them in the form of small
er units among the white troops. 1t is clear
that the imperialsts no longer consider Negro
troops as reliable. This of course does not mean
that the Wall Street government does not intend
to use Negro troops as cannon fodder in the
coming war. In this regard the imperialists IN
doubtedly have in mind policy similar to that
employed by the British In the utilization of
colonial troops, ie., to guard against possible
mutiny by the Sandwiching these troops in be-
tween more loyal white troops.
Favorable Conditions for Organization
A LII these circumstances, the sharpening crisis
ii the ruthless offensive of the white ruling
class against the Negroes and the consequent
growth of revolutionary ferment among the Ne
gro masses create the most favorable conditions
at the present time for the organization of
powerful revolutionary mass movement among
Negroes against the imperialist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union.
Under the circumstances it is necessary to
carry out energetically the following tasks:
Tasks of Revolutionary Movement
I As component part of our general cam
- paign, it is necessary to carry out the widest
agitation and propaganda among the Negro mass
es against the war and for the defense of the
Soviet Union. We must drive home concretely
the implications of war for the Negro masses
by explaining the imperialist war, which is for
the purpose of maintaining and strengthening
imperialist oppression, can only mean further
tightening of the yoke of slavery upon the Ne
gro masses
. To accomplish this it is necessary In all

masses the lessons of the last war-the persecu-

developed ideas that we should have special
Negro branches of the International Workers
Order, jim-crow branches. 1t is true that after
an explanation the comrade somehow changed
his attitude toward the question, but the fact
that such ideas can creep out in the minds of
the comrades are indications that the basic
problems on this question IRE not known to the
membership
On the South Side of Chicago the Polish
Workers Club, which is located in the vicinity
of the stockyards, permitted the following stua-
ton. The management Of the club systematical-
ly refused to rent the hall to the YCL because
the YCL invited Negro workers to the hall And
when once the hall was rented it was with the
warming not to carry agitation among the Negro
workers to attend the dance given by the YCL
In the Unemployed Councils.
Similar warnings we're made to the branch of
the, Unemployed Council, and at the dance of
the TWO, when a large number of Negro work.

body would dance with them, which resulted
that a majority of the Negro workers present
All of these acts Of white chauvinism have
been explained by the manager of the club in a
very interesting manner, that all this was done
for the interest of the Polish Workers Club. And
what are these interests? Very simple The
management Of the club has an agreement with
the owner of the hall that no Negro workers
will be permitted to attend the mass meetings
or affairs in the club.
In other words, the Polish Workers Club, in
stead OF developing struggles for equal social
rights OF the Negro workers, supports the petty-
bourgeois and bourgeois ideas of the landlord.
We have similar situation in Burnside, where
the Ukrainian Club refused to rent the hall for
the school because Negro workers would be in
vited and that neighborhood is located in
white neighborhood."
More Serious Incidents.
One more manifestation of it, which is very
serious, took place on December in Chicago.
After the demonstration in Union Park, an an
nouncement was made that the workers shall
leave for their headquarters in groups. It so
happened that practically so per cent or more
OF the workers began to march in one direction
and few blocks away from the demonstration
police attacked She workers, singing out Negro

The Department Of Agriculture experts who
conducted the investigation report that in
some valleys the same crop has been raised
for centuries without any visible depletion of
the fertility Of the ground. This is believed
due to the fact that rainfall has been too
limited to leach out the lime and other
natural plant foods abundant IN the soil.

fertile land have been found as well as creamy,
rich soil, everything volcanic sediments Alto

there are no water supplies present which

has been found that persons who

Feed the Game.

Scientific investigation carried on
in every state in the Union have thor
oughly proven that the agricultural
lists, orchardists and those interested
in the growing of forests are compell-
ed by nature to have the presence of
birds, game, song and insectivorous,
to assist them in combating the in
sect pests which prevail throughout
the continent, according to E. Lee
LeCompte, State Game Warden. To
assist in the growing of crops, fruit
and forest an appeal is being made
to those interested at this time to CO.
operate in trying to save all beneficial
species of birdlife, whose presence are
very necessary to our existence.
Sportsmen's organizations, teach
ers and pupils of the public schools,
rural mail carriers, boy scouts and
other similar organizations have for
the past few years very heartily CO.
operated in carrying out the winter
feeding program.
The drought of 1929 and 1880 has
very seriously affected the wildlife
supply, not only in Maryland, but
throughout the entire continent east
of the Rocky Mountain range. 1t be-
comes very necessary that we use
every effort possible to save the rem
nant of wildlife left within the State
of Maryland to furnish brood stock
for the coming propagating season.
The drought has caused very serious
shortage of natural food, covers are
bare and weed seeds which are very
injurious to the farmers crops and
on which the game and song and in
sectivorous birds feed, are scarcer
than they have been in the covers of
Maryland for years.
There are numerous methods which
can be used by the farmers which are
inexpensive but very effective. Feed
