On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immateriai.

IN line with what we SAID
about weeds last week as re-
lated to the tourist, R. A. Tro-
vatten, state dairy and food
commissioner this week in his
letter draws attention to the
matter by asking why Hay
Fever?" He states that the
ragweed is the fly in the oint-
ment insofar as hay fever Suf-
ferers is concerned and says
that ''its pollen is at work day
and night making life miser-
able for its victims" Mr.. Tro-
vatten further goes on to say
that the weed is found along
the walks, on vacant lots, in
alleys and bordering park
ways.
Over in Marquette, Mich,
a drive was staged on the pol
len producing ragweed and the
town was cleared of the men
ace. You may be immune to
hay fever but many of those
afflicted come here to be i'm
mune and it is your duty to
see that they are not subjected
to the irritating sneeze-pro-
ducing pollen. Unless a united
effort is made to keep these
hay fever weeds down, there
will be no tourists from hay
fever areas to this immune
country within a short time.
We understand that Mayor
Wolff and the City Council
have taken the matter under
consideration with the result
that weeds will be eliminated
from all vacant lots, the golf
course and the roadsides.
While not primarily the duty
of the city fathers to clear out
the weeds they show Judge
ment in protecting the fine
tourist trade this country en-
joys. 1t is sincerely hoped
that the state weed forces will
get busy and do their share to-
wards keeping this a hay-fever-
less country. As we said be-
fore weeds must go or the
tourist will CO."

On the Question of Our
Election Slogans

as we shall see. wrong slogans of the Kansas
District:
Il. Unemployment insurance and relief to
be paid for by the government out Of war
funds and taxation Of the rich.
~. Against the Hoover policy of wage-cut-
ting and speed-up.
3. For emergency relief without restriction)
by the government and banks for the poor
farmers. Exemption of the farmers from
forced collection Of debts.
-. Equal rights for the Negroes and against
Jim CrOwism, race discrimination and lynch
ing.
IS. Against boss terror, for the right Of
workers 10 free speech, free press and assem-.
bIage,
g. Against war, for defense of the Chinese
people and the Soviet Union"
These changes might appear as quite unirl-
portant to some comrades. But let us examine
them one by one.
Unemployment and Social Insurance
Slogan number one is wrong from three angles.
Firstly, IL completely onits social Insurance.
(old age pensions, federal sickness and accident
insurance, maternity insurance, etc)--which is
an absolutely necessary demand If we wish to
reflect the needs Of the unemployed workers,
the old workers displaced in industry, the women
workers, etc. 1t Is necessary if we are to sue
and the socialists. Secondly, it puts unempIoy-
ment insurance on a par with relief. The burn
ing needs Of the workers in the national cleo
tons is unemployment and social insurance;
this demand has the greatest political vitality;
this slogan provides the opportunity for us to de-
liver the heaviest blows on the most vulnerable
spot Of American capitalism. Practically all
countries have been forced to grant some lin
tied form of social insurance; the United States
alone among the big nations, with 100000
unemployed and starving, categorically refuses
insurance. Demands for relief can be put for
ward in local platforms but even there it can
not be substitute for insurance and must be-
come means of broadening the mass struggle
for unemployment and social insurance. Finally,
the Kansas formulation Is wrong when it changes
at the expense Of the state and employers
BY changing this, as 1t does, it narrows down
the whole question to one of taxation and war
funds, when TO raise the necessary funds more
drastic measures are not excluded 1t destroys
the effectiveness Of the slogan as an instrument
for definitely fixing the responsibility Of the
employers as well as the state through such
great demonstrations directly at the factories as
have recently taken place at the Ford factory
and the Chicago packing houses. From this the
correctness of the Central Committee slogan
Unemployment and social insurance at the ex-
pense Of the state and employers"--csn be seen.
This is the chief slogan of the Party.
For Exactness of FormuIations
Slogan number two, as accumulated also loses
its sharpness. The Hoover administration is
directly responsible for instituting the wage
cutting campaign. The Lamont letter and other
acts Of Hoover clearly prove this But when
the phrase, speed up" is aided, for which the
direct responsibility of Hoover cannot be so easily

try for war. The second measure
grants the president power to con-
solidate government bureaus or de.
partments and to make other changes
by simple executive order. This is
clearly fascist move in the direc-
ton Of increasing and central5ing
the arbitrary power of the executive
branch.
Against the Hoover program Of
wage cuts which have been dupli-
Gated by the local governments, the
Communist Party calls upon the
rank and file civil service workers to
rally to the election program of the
Communist Party. One Of the six
central demands of the Communist
Party in the coming election cam
paign is: Against Hoover's wage cut
ting policy.
The rank and file civil service
worker should take up the fight and
support the fight of the Communist
Party against the Hoover wage cut
ting policy.

the American expert cattle raiser,
Robert p. Lamont Jr. declared in

3. All evictiOns Of unemployed
workers to stop.
4. Free rent, gas and electricity
TO unemployed workers.
6. Segregation and Jim CrOwism
of Negro workers on city and park
department jobs to be Immediately
abolished.
Z. No discrimination against
single men and youth in giving out
relief or jobs.
8. That the mayor recommend
to the aldermanic chamber the en-
dcrsement of teh demand for cash
payment of the veterans bonus.
8. That the mayor recommend
to the aldcrmanic chamber the en-
dorscment of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.
The secretary wanted to know
where the money for all the demands
was to come from and the delega-
ton replied that if Yale College was
taxed only for a fraction of what it
should be taxed Git is exempt from
all taxation now, though it owns
more than half of the city,, the city
would have more than enough to
cover all the demands,
The delegation then demanded an
answer and we're refused, whereupon
the delegation told the mayors secre-
taIy that this is not the first time
the unemployed presented their de-
mands to the city administration and
we're ignored, but they we're tired of
this and demanded action. The sec
rotary wanted to know if this was a
threat. mo, a fact" was the an
sWer.
The delegation returned to the
Central Green and reported. The
chairman called upon the workers
present to march to Fraternal Hall,
10 Elm st. Several hundred workers
responded and an indoor meeting was
held, at which many workers we're
called upon to speak and told about
their conditions and determination to
follow the leadership of the Unem-
ployed Council. Thirty-three workers
gave their names and will be or
ganized in their respective blocks.
One outstanding fact to be noted
about this City Hunger March is that
this is the first time in the history
of New Haven that Negro workers
who are segregated and live for from
the center of the city participated in
large numbers.

WESTERN IronClerS OF the SOVIET Union
Under the agreement, Josef Pilsud-
ski, fascist dictator and butcher OF
the Polish masses, will assume Joint
comamnd of the Polish and Rmna-
MAN armies for the attack on the
Soviet Union.
The agreement was dictated by
French imperialism and signed by its
two vassal states during Pilsudski's
recent visit to Bucharest on his way
back to Poland from a six weeks va
cation in Egypt.
The agreement presages an early
attack on the Soviet Union. Its re-
dictionary, anti-Soviet character is
clearly exposed in the admission in
Warsaw dispatch to the New York
Times that Pilsudski discussed with
the Rumanian government the pro-
posed Danubian Union, sponsored by
French imperialism, bitetrest enemy
Of the Soviet Union, and directed
against the Soviet Union. The Times
dispatch also reports that the sub
iect was preached of "a larger pro-
posed union from the Mediterranean
to the Baltic Sea, including all the
neighbors of Russia, which Poland
considered the best guarantee Of
peace in Europe, and the Soviet-Ru-
manian aggression pact" The
Rumanian government. clearly act
ing on the orders of the French
imperialists, has refused to ratify the
non-sggresSion pact with the Soviet
Union. Thus, while the imperialists
are hypocriticslly talking OF peace
