ALASKA EXHIBIT

During its last session of the U. s. Senate endorsed the second annual American Fair, to be held in the big City Auditorium at at- lantic City, July 16 to August 26 at which number Of Federal activities will be represented. The Department Of the Interior has taken a liberal space, which MT Sawyer says will be devoted to Alaska. An unique exhibit will be in charge of an official who is now representing the Department at Frances International Colonial Exposition. AS over a million people attended the Fair last year at At lantic City it can be realized that it will present a splendid cppor- tunity this season for bringing Alaska to public attention. The various Chambers Of Commerce ir the north should now be preparing their literature, to be sent the latter part of June to the Department officials at the Fair, for JudiciouS distribution.

EADowoods, N. D., Dec. 31.-lP)-
Plans for an aggressive campa,pn for
the final approval and construction
OF the Elbowoods as well as the Bic
Bend bridge over the Missouri river
were laid at conference here Wed
nesday afternoon, attended by rep-
resentatives of many counties.
United action and complete CO.
operation between the supporters ot
the two projects were pledged.
State Senator E. w. Jones of Kill
deer made 1t clear that there shoulo
oe no differences between supporters
OF the two projects; that if either is
10 be constructed, ole-hearted sup-
port OF every community is necessary.
Many other speakers voiced similar
sentiments.
The conference Wednesday was the
outgrowth of a statement made at
Bismarck recently by Colonel Moore.
y. 8. Army engineer, to the effect
that North Dakota would have to
choose between the. Missouri river
bridges and the diversion project. II
was outlined that government enrl.
neers favored a so-calld high dam
which would impound $50 feet Of
water which, it was asserted Wednes-
day, would flood $4,000 acres in the
Missouri river section.
Argue Against Delay
That bridges over the Missouri,
probably would be worn out by the
time diversion project of any mag
nltude was completed was an argu-
ment presented against delay in
bridge construction. It was pointed
out that necessary legislative and
congressional action has been taken
Tor the Elbowoods bridge; that legis-
lative action has been taken for the
Big Bend bridge and a measure now
IS before congress authorizing the
Big Bend span.

YEAR IS REVIEWED
in SPEECHES MADE
7R07ARY MEETING
DR.. r. M. Constans and 1, R.
Baird Appear on Program
of Service Club

Outstanding events in 1881 were re-
viewed and forecasts for 1882 were
made in addresses before members
OF the Rotary club Wednesday.
DR.. R. M. Constans gave a resume
OF important events in politics, in
ternational relations, economics, H.
nance and agriculture.
Unsettled conditions prevailed in
the political world through the year,
he said. There were no great out
standing figures developed in the
United States, where drouth relief,
unemployment and financial prob
lens were paramount
International relations are becom-
ing more friendly, according to Con-
StanS, who pointed to the work done
by Laval Of France, and Grandi of
Italy, as being conducive to promot-
ing friendships among nations. The
Sino-Japanese situation has created
an unpleasant situation with which
the League of Nations has been un-
able to cope, he pointed out.
The financial situation is not as
bad as it is generally painted. There
were less bank failures in 1891 than
in 1890. Taxes probably will be in
creased and land values will decrease,
he said.
Edison's Death Outstanding
Outstanding in the field of arts and
sciences during the year was the death
of Thomas A. Edison, Constans said,
while preparations for the 1882 Olym-
pic games at Los Angeles were the
most important sports developments
of 1881.
In the affairs of the Rotary club,
the principal development was the
advocacy Of world peace at the in
ternational convention at Vienna. For
the local club, the winning of the
attendance prize at the district con-

THE Twelfth Plenum of the Central Control
L Committee of the Party was session for TAX
ing I'D the practical work of the Party. The line
of the Party did not need investigation or mod
ification, for events had demonstrated that the
line laid down by the Comintern and by the
Seventh Convention of the Party was correct.
But the Penum dealt with a most important
phase of our Party work: The problem of the
application of the line of the Comintern and the
Party in the every day work. It examined the
work of the Party in the unions and mass or
CARNATIONS. 1t dealt with the work Of the Party
organs. 1t investigated the work of the units of
the Party.
The Plenum emphasized that the Party must
make turn-the turn in method of approach
to the workers, in the raising of concrete partial
everyday demands. These very and must be
studied r. each nucleus, by each single comrade
in shop
Is the nucleus in facing the new methods of
approach to the workers, in raising concrete
everyday demands, meeting its tasks? Is it dis
cuSSing and deciding on new forms of work
forms of work for the nucleus, for each mem
Der at the place where he works-in the shop
factory. mine, office etc? Has the nucleus
buro that organizes the work of the nucleus
before the nucleus meeting-so that the techni-
cal routine work of the nucleus is soon finished
and the unit meeting is spent in discussng-not
abstract generalites but the concrete work OF
the nucleus, the everyday work Of each member
in the shop in carrying out the campaign of the
Party?
Or IS the nucleus still dragging along in the
I'D fashion-not having made the turn? With
10 order of business-because either there is no
INIT buro, or the buro does not function-with
he eternal selling of and collecting for tickets
SITS, etc, with the reading of documents in
ended for the unit buro which it has not di-
ssted and consequently cannot present propo-
ais to the unit? The result of such a situation
: that the nucleus meeting is a nerve-killing
aergy destroying process, dragging on for hous
nd ending in disgust and encouragement
If the unit has made the turn-and it is the
uty Vi the District and Section Committees to
scertain whether there are unit buros if they
now how to function, and teach them if they
not-then the life of the unit is entirely diff
rent.
How is the unit to discuss its work? How

HAVE THE UNITS OF THE
PARTY MADE THE TURN?

school conditions, political conditions etc. 1t
must know the conditions in the shop on which
it is concentrating-not generally, but on the
basis of information received through contact
with some of the workers This contact it OBJ
tains by assigning members of the nucleus to
distribute Daily Workers, leaflets other lit
erature, the comrades speaking to the workers,
getting an idea of the conditions learning the
grievanceS-even the petty ones, which frequent
ly are the most important ones-thus enabling
the nucleus to issue bulletins and lay the basis
for organization committee for the building
up of a shop committee.
There must be reports by the members of
the nucleus in rotation. The members OF the
nucleus must discuss the conditions in the shops
in which they work, discuss the ways of doing
work, need of assistance, etc. In this manner,
not only Goes the nucleus tackle its problems in
the new manner, but it aids each member of the
nucleus to do the same. Thus not only The nu
cleuS becomes a leader in the territory, but each
members of the nucleus becomes potential lead
er in his her shop.
This is what is meant by the new turn-new
methods of work, concrete partial demands. Are
the units of the Party meeting the needs of the
turn? Are they round the turn only ideologically
or have they also organizationally made the
turn? Are the meetings of the nucleus, as
that they come to the meeting with pleasure ana
zest or are they still the old, mechanical meet
ingS that sap the remaining energy of the COM
radeS?
Are the meetings the old, dry deadening meet
ings so that new members cannot recognize il
he inner life of the Party that which brough,
them to the Party-and consequently leave dis
appointed? Or are the meetings of the nucleus
q reflection of the struggle taking place in the
shops and on the Streets where the members
OF the Party discuss the political issues, the
&nlzational tasks, and their concrete application
to the particular situation or shop?
IN other words, have the units of the Party
made the turn / practice-or are they still
ideologically and organizationally following the
old path-and therefore guilty of opportun-
ism in practice, even though sometimes unin-
tentionally? This question the nuclei and each
member must ask themselves This question the
Section and District Committees must investi-
gate Till the nuclei make the turn in practice,
the life o. the Party will not correspond to the
objective situation, the Party will not be func-
tioning properly the new members will not re-
main in the Party, the turnover remain high
and the Party as a whole will not be equal to
its gigantic tasks.
This investigation and study must be made at
once.

CONCLUSIVE evidence that the revolution"
in Panama was engineered by American i'm
perialisnn, was given by the N. Y. American of
January 5, in an interview with Richard o.
Marsh, former Secretary and Charge dAffairs
of the u. S. Legation in Panama, later on at
tache of the State Department and recently
Latin-American expert of the Department of
Commerce.
Marsh speaks with authority as he was con-
nected with the U. S. Legation in Panama when
some of the events he tells of, occurred The
U. S. had made the revolution which split Pan
anna away from Columbia, and got along all
right until, says Marsh, light years ago one
Rodolfo CHAR, was elected president.
CHAR was a financier, but 100000 in debt,
and was helped into office by his creditors so
he could graft lot and play them back. Marsh
says CHAR cleaned up by playing dirty trick
on the US.A, through cedng to British COM
pany "all the public rubber lands" The COM
pany was headed by such outstanding British
inlperialists as Sir Alfred Mond (who died but
