We repeat a countless number OF times that

The majority of the articles in the COMMU-

nature indispensable for the solution of our inn
mediate problems. There are also number Of
articles which tend to give deeper theoretical
political understanding of our tasks Such ar
ticles should prove beneficial in the training of
functionares
Planned work means well prepared work.
Reading is for many of us dry because we don't
see in the articles lessons Of accumulated expert
ences Such an attitude reflects lack Of serious
ness in our attempt in the solution of the vari-
Gus problems growing out of the mass activities
of the Party.
The lack of criticism on the part of the COM
rades with regards to the COMMUNIST re-
fleets the lack of interest in the COMMUNIST.
The present campaign to increase the circula-
ton of the COMMUNIST must be approached
from the viewpoint of developing a weapon

Who Beheads Whom?

Incidentally, in the ~ Y. Times of AnriI u
a report OF Rear Admiral Smith, commander a,
U. s. naval forces In Central America contained
tne following lines, concerning the seals on doc
uments found on the dead body of Pedro Ban
oon' lieutenant in Sandino's army who was
murdered by one Of those ''harmIess and peace
luI civilians" over who Hoover sheds tears:
Two of them (the documets) bear rough
seal showing bandit cutting the head from
PROSTATE dead marine"
This lie has been repeated by Hoover and
much has been made of it. After the marines
have been killing-yes, and beheadins,-Nica-
raguan workers and peasants for 10 wears we
wouldn't blame the Nicaraguans for retaliatinp
in kind.
But 1T happens that we have seen the official
seal Of SANDING and the Rear Admiral * a liar
when he says it shows a bandit cutting the
mead from PROSTATE dead marine" It shows
the picture of Liberty" Gust like the Statue Of
Liberty PROSTATE to the ground with the SYM
nohc flgure OF Mars, in a Roman helmet and
With drawn misrepresentation of Yankee i'm

SO, as we said the Rear Admiral is an out
rageous liar, as rear admirals usually are You

Proletarian Self Discipline On
May Day

Revolutionary Discipline and Militancy Must
Characterize All Communist Demonstrations.
IN the eve of our May Day demonstrations it
becomes necessary to sound a note of warn
ing and to issue some elementary drectives on
proletarian discipline and revolutionary conduct
at political demonstrations
At times some of our demonstrations have
been marked by a disgraceful display of petty
bourgeois indifference, chattering, promenading
and hooliganism.
The overwhelming majority of workers attend
ing our demonstrations pay close attention to the
speakers and seriously participate in the demon
stration. small part Of the audience and
among them some irresponsible Party members
insist on expressing their complete disregard for
the meeting by deliberately violating oil the
basic principles Of proletarian discipline.
When the police or fascists destroy our demon
STATIONS by violence we are not surprised But
very often our own comrades attempt to disrupt
the unity and effectiveness OF our demonstra-
lions by turning them into social gathering

Assistance was offered the committee In charge
to go out and hire another hall In the neigh.

Alter consultation between the chairman
and the secretary, it was decided to do neither.
The chairman went out and told the eager
crowd to Go home, home, home" and wait m
til another meeting will be arranged In the fu-

mans own mother would have no chance Of

1t seems that somebody thinks that the Soviet
Union is profoundly unpopular, expects nobody
TO come to F. s, U. meetings, and is rather an
noyed and completely upset when workers in

literature, or anything else unless authorized by
the committee in charge
Communists Must Set Example.
Tens Of thousands of non-Party workers will
be present at the demonstration. The Party
members, Y.C.L. members, Pioneers and revo-
utionary workers must be the steel rod in the
maintenance Of revolutionary self-discipline
They must impress the new Party prole-
tarians with disciplinary order and revolutionary
spirit Of our demonstrations.

ness, revolutionary enthusiasm. proletarian dis

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 26
GN.S0.-BusineSs is cleaning It's

petition and putting itself on a

tor of trade practice conferences

sion. Mr.. McCorkle was here to
set up a code Of ethics for the
electrical contracting industry
He said:
"Tt is the exception that

fair competitive methods for
the greatest part of industry is
honest. No business can thrive
where there are a few attempt
ing to drive the others out by
unfair methods"
False advertising Is the great
est source Of trouble, he said.
Other unfair methods named are:
Breach of contract, misleading in
formation about competitors, sell

competitors, secret rebates, sub
stituting inferior goods, enticing
competitors employees, and meth

TR|BUT|ON
Of STOCKS
SEEN ON
Daily Fireworks Exhibition
Confirming Observers in
Suspicion, Says Spectator
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March 26.-The
market continues to act in a
manner tending to confirm the
suspicion of many close observers
that stocks are now in a distri-
buting phase. For the past few
sessions, there has been a daily
exhibition of fireworks, although
seldom has the same stock re-
mained the center Of attention
for more than one or two days
in a row, and yet, measuring
the present standing of the
market with that at the close of
last week, the averages have
actually lost a point, according
to the Standard Statistics Index
Of 80 stocks.
Bulls Marking Time
This viewpoint can be readily
countered by the assertion that
considering the barrage of bad
news with which the list has
been confronted, the showing
thus far this week has been
eminently satisfactory. In fact,
many quarters hold to the
belief that the bull faction Is
merely marking time until TO-
days quota of dividend cuts is
out of the way before reSuming
aggressive operations on the up
side.
Yet it must not be forgotten
that in a comparatively short
period the market will be facing
the long string of first quarter
earnings, which from current
estimates, will hardly tend to
excite enthusiasm for stocks. It
cannot be safely said that these
reports have already been dis
counted, for one has only to
refer to the recent movements
of many stocks of late in order
to refute this contention.
Case of Westinghouse
In yesterdays market, for ex.
ample, a dividend cut in West
inghouse was confidently ex.
pected, and had been for many
weeks. It was almost unani-
nous belief that a reduction to
a 81 rate would be voted. Yet,
when the bad news was out of
the way, the stock sold off
sharply, a graphic indication that
spectators are more interested in
what the company is earning
than what it decides to pay out
to stockholders from surplus.
The recent weakness in the
common shares of United States
Industrial Alcohol has been used
as an excuse by professionals to
exert pressure on Air Reduction
which is known to be holder of
the formers stock. However, it
is shown that even should Indus
trial Alcohol reduce their present
common dividend by as much as
So a share, it would only mean
a difference of 2 cents a share
each quarter in the earnings Of
Air Reduction.

BRITISH FACING
RISE IN TAXES

LONDON, March 26 GNS).
With a net increase of at least
$50, 1000, 900 on the budget expendi-
ture in prospect, bringing it up to
$4,000. 900, 900, there is increasing
speculation of the means which
Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Philip Snowden will employ to
raise increased revenue.
That there must be increased
taxation is clear. It will be neces-
sary to raise money from new
sources to replace the falling-off
of income-tax and other returns
apart from finding finances for
further Labor legislation, if the
Macdonald government remains
in office.
Economists and many politi-
clans are agreed that the appli-
cation of a general duty on i'm
ports would be the best means of
finding the necessary additional
revenue, and it is believed the ma.
jority of the LaboriteS will accept
something in the nature of a
small protective tariff on imports.
