NLIvE OIL for the complexion! O Always known to keep skin soft. supple, youthful.
 But can you get enough olive oil in soap? How much, actually, goes into Palmoliye? There is the exact amount in that test tube at the right. To this generous olive oil content can be directly traced the great benefits of Palmolive Soap to the complexion.
 Doyou know what is in the soap you are putting on your face? Palmolive tells you. Palmolive is the only large selling soap made of vegetable oils exclusively-the only one using olive : oil as . base. Other Palmolive in \ gredients are simply palm oils neces- sary to produce richer, creamier, more workable lather than possible with olive oil alone.
 Knowing the value of . liberal amount ofolive oil in soap, and know ing Palmolive to contain olive oil in its most modern, most practical form more than 10000 of the worlds lead ing besufy exPsrs have foryears urged its use. "r-'if 's.tr i'ssf1 "

The purpose of Herriot's mission

such maneuvers can have but one
major purpoSe-to consolidate the

directed only against Germany and
thus try to obscure the growing

A few days ago we read some
statements by Mr.. Rafael Martinez
Nadal, arch lackey of Yankee i'm
perialism, and head of the Union
Republicans, about Mr. Iglesias.
Mr.. Nadal stated that MIR. Iglesias
twas we'll known at the Metropolis
(Washington-Ed. Note.) and that
he is not Red, as shown by the
fact that he defended American
policy in the Island" We know all
this very well, as we'll as the fact
that Mr. Iglesias is a good tool in
the hands of MIR. Green, himself
Iackey of Wall Street imperialism.
But Mr.. IglesiaS is not going to
fool the workers in Porto Rico
much longer. This is shown by the
recent tenant strike Of Miramar,
Ponce. There, more than $500
workers went on strike, refusing to
pay rent. They demanded free rent
for the unemployed, and a so per
cent reduction for those still work.
ing, with cancellation OF the previ-
GUS debts. Immediately the Com
mission of Cancellation and Arbi-
tration sent a committee to the
scene. They called mass meetings.
The workers attended, but not to
agree with the proposals of the
committee, because they knew from
previous experiences that the COM
mittee came to support the land
lords and break the rent strike.
The speeches of these bosses agents
were booed by the workers, where
upon the landlords used the police
to terrorize the workers and smash
the strike.
MASSES LEAVING
THE S. P.
AS a result of this and other SIM
liar incidents the masses are leay-
ing the ranks of the Socialist Par
ty. They are becoming more radi-
Called, and more and more con-
WINGED that the influence of Mr..
IgleSias must be smashed. Isolated
groups of workers who call them
selves Communists are being organ
lied in different cities of the Is
land. A centralized organization
and a proper leadership of these
groups will soon rally the sincere
rank and file workers of the So
cialist Party into the ranks of the
advance guard Of the workers, thus
smashing Mr.. Iglesias' clique in the
government, exposing all political
parties: Nationalist, Republican,
Alianza and Liberal, as agents and
tools of Yankee imperialism. This
advance guard will be the Commu-
mist Party of Porto Rico. With &C
tive support from the American
working class the revolutionary
struggle Of the Porto Rican workers
will move rapidly forward.

ME set up unit of Is comrades,
w IL Negroes and two whites. Of
these, nine attended the first meet
ing. We finally decided upon a
block of almost entirely Negroes for
territorial concentration and
large baking plant for shop con-
centration.
The first week was given over to
the sale of the DailyWorker. There
were go families in the block. We
ordered so Daily Workers. Forty
nine families were Negroes; IL we're
whites, four of whom owned their
own homes.
Each day comrades visited the
families in the block, patiently ex-
planning the differences between
the workers press and party and
the bosses press and parties. For
three days we delivered about so
papers. With each family we spent
five or ten minutes showing the
workers the need for the Daily
Worker. We offered the Daily for
is cents a week.
HOW WE WORKED
In that concentration we won IL
customers for a weeks subscription
One comrade was then assigned to
deliver the papers and build the
route. -Four comrades who lived in
the block were assigned to visit spe-
cific families at least twice during
the next week. In that week we
gained Is additional subscribers.
We asked each subscriber to get
at least one more reader.
