a side view followed every move Of

the Communist Party has not in the

a member of the Communist Party

The speaker was sent there to ask
this organization to elect delegates to
the May % City Nominating Con-
ference, which was done after the
speech.
This is only one example Of the at
titude of the Negro masses towards
the Communist Party. The Negro
workers today are beginning to real
ize more and more that it is only
the Communist Party that is really
interested in the fight for the bet
terment of their conditions.
All Negro organizations are urged
to join with the white workers or
ganization in selected real worker
leaders that will fight for the i'm
provement of the conditions of all
workers-Negro and white.

SEEN AID
To EDUCATION

(COntinued from Local Pase)
alarmed over the situation. They
are striving to maintain educa-
tional standards; they are trying
to keep school budgets at mini
mum, in view of economic condi-
tions, but they are doing their
best to give the boys and girls of
America a chance to obtain suit
able education.
Washington Fortunate
Washington's good fortune in
this respect is due largely, of
course, to the favored position Of
this city, where the relative Sc
curity offered by Government en-
ployment has kept business on a
fairly even keel.
The rest of the country is not
going to be helped. however. by
lowering Washington standards to
the level of the schools in those
States that have suffered most
severely.
Cutting salaries or depriving
teachers here of their automatic
increases, holds out grim prospect
that this might happen.
The real solution is to bring
schools in other cities up to the
standards that have thus far been
maintained in the District of Co.
lumbia.
Hearst Has Solution
The way to do that is through
a $4,000, 100000 prosperity loan,
long advocated by William Ran.
dolph Hearst as means of pro
viding jobs for the jobless and
restoring purchasing power to
those whose purchasing power is
nil.
To paraphrase a statesman Of
the last century, the way to re-
Vive business is to revive it.
Since private industry is not
expanding and apparently does
not feel capable of undertaking
an expansion program, the Fed
eral Government is the only
agency that can undertake it. A
$4,000, 100000 loan for public
works would make that possible.
In that fashion, by putting
men to work, by restoring pur-
chasing power and creating a de-
mand for goods, business can be
revived and the threat to the
schools can be averted.
