The above is speculation At the trial OF
the counter revolutionary Industrial Party in Moscow

testimony of the accused England would support the
intervention with the Navy. In what way? BY at

for it? The Caucasian oil wells at least 1t stated
and proven at the trial that Deterdng and Churchill
have made such arrangements with the "Torgprom,

The American Oil Trust apparently left out in

government to become the leader of the intervention

this is the lesson learned by the American imperiaiss
from the trial of the Industrial Party"
What does this prove? It proves that the growing
antagonsm of interests between the mperiaists does
not diminish but the contrary increase the danger
of a war of intervention in the Soviet Union.
Consider also the effect of the growing antagonisms
between the European capitalist powers and the United
States on the danger of intervention Do these antagon

What does this prove? 1t proves that the growing

LIFE

THE idea of more developed workers organiza-
tons particularly in the industrial cities TAX
ing patronage over less developed particularly
agrarian) undertakings, has become well estab-
lished in the Soviet Union and has resulted in
a consolidating of the relations between town
and country.
In our district we are not yet in a position
to establish patronage of the workers of the city
the agrarian workers, because we have to
first awaken to this vital task and are only
making first contacts. However, the Section of
our District which is weakest politically and or
ganizationally is the Party Section in Southern
Illinois. Here we have the coal fields where the
coal miners have conducted many brave strug-
giles and where our Party has the task TO
tablishing itself and winning leadership on the
basis of leading struggles on immediate grievan-
ces and simultaneously exposing the United
Mine Workers and building the National Miners
Union. Particularly today with the Penn-Ohio
strike, we must extspd iur influence and develop
strike struggles II So Illinois.
The Party there is very weak The member
ship have not had the experience which the
Chicago members have had Nevertheless, the
miners have had lots of experience as fighters,
but the role and activity of the Communist Par
ty must be clarified in life itself
The District Committee has therefore decided
to establish system of patronage, choosing as
a beginning 5 nuclei in the mining towns in
southern Illinois and connecting them up with
of the most active nuclei in Chicago. The Chi
cago units are expected to develop this as an
| example for the entire Party
The basis of the patronage is to develop the
Party understanding both in Southern Illinois
and Chicago and thru this, improve and inten-
sify the Party work in So. Illinois. This is not
matter for one comrade but the entire mem
bership of the two units linked together must
be involved
What To Do:
I. The following units are connected
Christopher Ill, 202: Zeigler ILL., 402; West
vile, Ill. 5O2; West Frankfort Ill, 3o3; Harris
burgh Ill, 208.
2. The unit buros of the Chicago units shall
see that letters are sent out at least twice a
they are patrons. These shall explain the &C
| tivity of the nucleus how they conduct their
meetings, functioning of buro etc. In turn the
secretary of the Southern Illinois unit shall
write letters describing their work and raising
| problems This correspondence shoSlld be re-
ported upon at the respective unit meetings.
3. Realizing the worsened conditions in South
ern Illinois, and many difficulties, each South
ern Illinois unit should be supplied by. their

CHINA SUFFERS IN
 SLUMP OF SILVER

 Owing to the recent slump in silver, Chinese merchants are ex- periencing great difficulty in pur- chasing goods from countries which are sold on a gold basis. The stocks on hand at present are not large and Chinese firms display hesitan- cy in placing further orders, ac- cording to U. s. Consul Black in a statement appearing in the Den yer Mining Record.
 In some instances Chinese firms are said to have been unable to re- ceive goods upon arrival because of the failure to fix rates of ex- change at the time the contracts were made. Local prices have re- gently advanced, owing to both the slump in silver and the appli- cation of the new tariff rates, and this also is causing merchants to buy for their immediate require ments only.

FEAR OUR WORST ENEMY

Why is the recovery from the economic depression slow? Because capital is afraid Millions of dollars lie inactive in banks because the of this money possessed with fear.
 This situation is existent in Alaska just the same it is in the States. Just long they hold back through fear long will resumption of normal in- dustral and business activity be retarded There lot of things to be done in Alaska by individuals but like their brethem in the States they hesitant.
 It is inevitable that general prosperity will come back in time but the tmidty of capital may delay re- turn to normal conditions The day of slogans to have gone but Do it now!" wouldn't be bad at all.
 It is about time Alaskan canneries began to mar ket their products direct throughout the world instead of letting half their profits 20 brokers agents etc., who could be just we'll eliminated from the picture.
