COMMENT.

In South Africa the West India Islands and
other places where the Negro peoples constitute
an oppressed national majority, the imperialsts
have devised various tactical measures to split
the exploited group The division is usually
made by taking advantage of the mixture of
Negroes and whites. The offspring of this mix
tlre are usually called "Colored" aople. These
"Colored" are given certain social I'D economic
privileges denied the so-called "full-blooded"
Negro masses.
Between the "Colored" and the natives, false
issues are created tending to pit one against the
other. Everything is done to draw the colored
people into support of the interests of imper-
ialism This, of course, is to prevent, far as
possible, the development of the united national
liberation movement. The exploiters seek to con-
fine all nationalist tendencies to bourgeois ma
tional channels-to Utopian movements such as
would tend to separate the exploited Negroes
from other exploited elements in the society,
and as consequence weaken the struggles of
all against Imperialism.
The "Colored" people are drawn into buffer
group between the exploters and the masses OF
the exploited Negroes. caste system develops.
The term "Coored" takes on the force of
periority. Those natives under the influence of
the theology of the master class seek to get
away from the heaviest burdens of exploitation
and oppression which fall upon the weakest sec
ton of their national group by penetrating into
the castles of the "Colored" people. The Col
ored" seek in turn to prevent penetration from
the bottom and to draw themselves closer to the
ruling class.
The Negro masses in these colonial spheres
constitute an oppressed Negro nation as they do
in the Black Belt of the South. Those who be-
lieve that by avoiding the term Negro" they
alleviate their condition are merely confused by
the maneuvers of the expoiters, This term Ne
gro" does not determine the character or rate
of exploitation. The Negro masses must be
shown this 1t has on the other hand become
term designating national entity The term
"Coored' is used to split this entity. Usually we
will find those who seek to be called "Colored"
represent the Negro bourgeoisie, petty bour-
geoise and ntellectuals such as compose the
NJ A. A. G. P.
We should show the Negro masses there is
nothing to be ashamed of in the term Negro"
At the same time, where we are confronted with
group which desire to be termed "Colored,"
we should accede to their request. The desire of
the workers should be in this case the determin-
ing factor, but we should very clearly show the
Negro workers their position as members of an
oppressed nation

This is also due to shorthandednesS of the crew.
II you refuse these extra duties you are subject
to four days log which means you pay four days
for one. There is no compensation for thees ex-
ira duties.
The beds are usually made of straw. They are
commonly called lousepits by most seamen.
There is a grave danger attached to these louise
pits The dust that the dry straw accumulates
floats around the rooms getting into your lungs
thereby causing consumption. 1t also gives men
the itch.
We are supposed to get change of linen every
Two weeks. Some times we go without change
for month. The quarters for the most part are
stuffy, small and unsanitary. Eight or ten men
are stuffed into a place that isn't sufficient for
two to move around in.
The wages vary. Some ships pay as low as $50
a month for ABS There are rumors out that
the ship owners planning to cut the wages
on all ships in the near future
The shipowners realize the seamen are begin
ming to sit up and take notice though. For they
are making it more and more difficult for our
organizers to get aboard the ships placing
watchmen at every entrance to the docks and on
all the ships. This will not deter us though for
we intend to build up the Marine Workers In
dcstrial Union regardless of all the obstacles the
ship owners place in our paths.

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Albany, 5-17-31.

Daily Worker:
Would it not be better for us to more fire.
quently use the expression 'Colored" in place of
Negro? Here in Albany, it has been frequent
ly called to our attention (both by Negro and
white workers., that they resent the word Ne
gro and prefer being alluded to as "colored."
In Houston, Texas, the writer had the same
reaction on the part of colored workers.
In this connection, it is interesting to note
that that viper organization, IN. A A. G. P"
takes cognizance of this preference. 1t is well
known how hard it frequently is for us to really
get to know the feeling of Negro workers towards
us, and usually, they would not give expression
to resentment based on this prejudice. But it
is up to us to take cognizance of it.
On the other hand, for us to change the name
of our organization to League of Struggle for
the Rights of Colored People" does not seem
to us desirable either for it might tend to jeop-
ardize the issue of the Negro as a distinct race
and nation.
Please enlighten on this point.

IN dozen different strains capitalist polti-
l clans and A. F. of L. leaders devoted their
Labor Day speeches to a warning Of the milit-
ancy of the working masses in the coming
months and attempted in many ways to divert
this militant surge of the masses by hypocritical
lies and programs.
John L. Lewis president of the scab United
Mine Workers of America who was one of the
leaders in the attempt to drive the soft coal
mine workers into the slavery of the mine bos-
ses, gave the warning in the following words
"Those in high places who rest serene in the
thought that cycles must have their fling will
soon have to go into action or else face ac-
ton which might bring radical changes in our
recognized system of commercial enterprise"
Senator Borah stated hypocritically that "as
we approach winter, the task of taking care of
these Gobless) men and women is uppermost in
our minds" What is uppermost in the minds
of Borah and the rest of the capitalist class is
not the hunger and the misery of the millions
of jobless but how to prevent the organization
of these jobless to demand unemployment re-
lief Borah, therefore, warns the capitalists
that they must in some way or other dish out
some charity slop to prevent this mass protest
of the workers. He pointed to the rising nlilit-
ancy of the masses and stated that if the rich
do not feed the unemployed voluntarily they
will nevertheless do it," Borah suggested an
increase in the income tax and praised the
donation for charity Stops of $1oo0,o00 by Sen
ator Couzens.
Governor William H. Murray of Oklahoma,
more blatant demagogue than the rest told the
capitalists that the workers mo longer &C
copied the doctrine that man is not responsible
for these conditions After stating that the
working masses beginning to realize that
the misery and hunger in the present crisis are,
like the crisis ITSELF due to the capitalist sys-
tem Murray Alfalfa Bill" warns that if there
is not a change in the government in 1882 there
will be a revolution in the United States. In
this way he is preparing the capitalist dema-
gogy for the elections next year. Murray tells
the capitalists of the militancy of the masses
in the following words:
"When have talked about the horrors of
another winter to come, of the revolution
which surely stares the land of our fathers
in the face if conditions do not improve they
call me an alarmist. But Pm not. The poll
tical flames that burn the bowels of the poor
eventually will burn the mansions of the rich"

In the Cotton Markets
lBv Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-There was
the same big demand for cotton this
morning that we have seen for
several days. 1t was purchased at
lower prices, however, due to much
lower range Of prices in the Liv-
erpool contract market.
The decline amounted to about Is
points. Demand at 1890 points for
May and the other months as well,
turned prices upward in the sec
ond hour and almost all of the early
losses were regained. At noon the
market was very steady, little off
from the days high price.
May cotton at 1926 points. Light
showers in northwestern part of
belt, with possibility of more to-
morrow. were noted, but nothing in
the way Of drought relief Is indi-
Gated by the weather map.
A solid feature of the recent buy
ing Is that it Is almost entirely of
a trade nature, and is, to all ap-
pearances. far from being completed.
Cotton is very firmly held in the
south. The market was quiet in
the early afternoon. with quite a
volume of buying orders in brokers'
hands at a few points under the
market.

In the Stock Market
(Rv Thomson & McKinnonl

(By Thomson & McKinnon)
NEW YORK, Feb. GA better
sentiment was in evidence in the
market today, apparently reacting
to the more reasSuring news from
Washington.
The financial district appeared
hopeful over the outcome of the
proposed bonus legislation, as well
as feeling that the threat of a
special session of congress was
dimming.
At no time was the market under
pressure, such as was experienced
Thursday. In fact, after hesitat-
ing momentarily at the outset, the
list worked gradually higher,
strength in the merchandising
shares being the feature.
Virtually all classes of stocks
showed some advance, with many
Of the low priced issues particu-
larly active. This broadening of
interest was encouraging.
News so. far as bearing on the
market was scant. A rally in the
wheat market and advances in
wholesale gasoline prices aided sent
iment and counteracted the in
t1uence Of silver establishing an
other record low price.
The Ford Motor Company re-
ported decided improvement in
the demand for cars since prices
were reduced, and is said to be
preparing to increase production.
The sign of increasing activity
recently in the automobile industry
is possibly the most hopeful factor
at present in the commercial stu
alton.
No other industry perhaps could
contribute so much toward employ
ment and consumption Of raw ma
terials.
The stock market indicates that
it is supported By a fairly strong
base. and reflects a willingness to
respond to good business news.
