Insects in Winter

To our unseeing eyes, the hosts of
Insects abroad during the summer
months seem wholly to disappear when
winter comes. If we look about us to
see where 1t is possible for insects to
ind shelter during the winter we
would find at least. the following loca-
lions are available: In the ground, or
inder shelter on its surface; in ponds,
treams and other bodies of water; in.
tEmps, logs and dead wood, and
2lants of all sorts; in, or on living
'eea, shrubs. and smaller plants; in
ais, in fruits, and in occasional shell

Reason for Scottish Thrift,

Scotland throughout its history has
been poor country. Its land, with
small exceptions, was lnfertile, its eli
mate bad, with long hard winters and
short, frequently dry summers, and it
has also, through Its history, been the
scene of much strife, both foreign and
civil. To surmount such conditions a
people must be of more frugal, In
dustrious and perseyering habit, and
the exercise Of these virtues may at
times have developed into a hardness
and thrift which have been commented
on unfavorably and undoubtedly n,uch
exaggerated.

TIE recruiting drive is well under way The
l entire Party is now engaged in recruiting
workers TO our Party with special concentration
on workers | the basic industries, Negro wonl-

The Chicago District challenged the Pitts
burgh District and sent representative to the
Pittsburgh District to bring the challenge and
also to learn from the Pittsburgh District how
to build the revolutionary trade unions, and to
work in the shops and mines Did we achieve
any results?
1t is. necessary to state that the reason we
especially challenged the Pittsburgh District is
because the two districts are similar in basic in
dustries Ginning and steeD and in building the
Party the exchange Of experiences Of the two
districts would be valuable. The Party mem

While the Chicago District has a mass mem-
ployed movement, Pittsburgh has very small

weak in shop work and trade union work gen

That rs why VIC challenged the Pittsburgh
District in order to especially turn the whole
membership OF Chicago in this campaign to work
i'll the factories, mines and to link up the I'M
employed movement with the employed workers.
The comrades in Pittsburgh enthusiastically
responded to the challenge In one section, the
New Kensington Section, at a Section Confer
ence the membership greeted the challenge by
doubling its quota and concretely pointing out
where these workers can be recruited, from
mines in the section, aluminium plant, steel mills
and an asphalt plant through the development
of local struggles.
Also the steel mill nuclei in Pittsburgh re-
spouded well and challenged similar units in
the Chicago District. Everywhere in the Pitts
burgh District where the N. M. q. conducted
the struggle there is wonderful support for our
union and the Party. We can see by the figures
of the first few weeks Of the drive that Pitts
burgh is developing the drive properly. Chicago

Party Recruiting Drive
January IL March IS, 1882
REVOLUTIONARY COMPETITION

unemployed workers recruited into the Party is
still the same 20 per cent, while the recruiting
in Pittsburgh OF employed workers Is proper
tionately much higher. The third week of the
drive numerically in Chicago is 1872, but the
amount Of recruits from the shops is very poor
although some sections have done quite well
One Of the reasons, as the section organizers
stated was because the membership OF the sec
tons have not yet been modified in the cam
paign. This the District Committee has reacted
on by sending a letter to each member OF the
Party, explaining the campaign and calling upon
the membership to help break down the bureau
cratic tendencies and Journalism in order to
swing into this campaign
Revolutionary competition between the Sec
tons has had some response but not enough.
The membership of the Party Is becoming aware
of this powerful weapon In our struggle How
ever the leadership of the Party, especially some
sections, look upon revolutionary competition
cynically, Wherever the rank and file Of the
Party has been approached to engage in revo-
lutionary competition, it has had wonderful re-
suits, stimulating the drive and properly turn
ing the Party in this campaign to the basic work
in the shops and mines building the TUUL.
In some sections in Chicago revolutionary
competition is engaged in by all the nuclei. Then
there are some sections that have not even con-
the experiences Of recruiting and keeping the
new recruits for the Party, the agitprop depart
ment can be powerful factor. The exchang-
ing of experiences are OF much valuable aid In
building the Party.
The comrades In Pittsburgh who are prac-
tically all new Party members are showing that
with the aid Of revolutionary competition the
drive for new forces in our Party, to espe-
cially guide the unions and the unemployed
movement to build shop nuclei which Is of de-
cisive importance enormous achievements can
be made. The lesson that Chicago can learn
from Pittsburgh, of the new forces that are lead
ing the movement, is that we can build our
revolutionary trade unions, that we can organ
ize the workers in the shops and mines, and in
this campaign we can carry out with political
understanding and concrete organizational ap-
plication the recruiting of workers from the
basic industries and successfully link up the
struggles Of the employed and unemployed
workers.

workers that the same bosses government that

meetings, also spends billions for increased army
and navy, hundreds of thousands on fake dis
armament conferences, then he will understand
more clearly the correct class approach to the
question of war
Carry Struggle Against War Into the Factories
Especially important is it to penetrate into the
tactories--but not just with general leaflets We
must IN addition, through our work INSIDE the
factory find out:
IL Composition and age of workers in shop
e. Learn the use of the product for war pur-
poses.
81 Find out whether any orders have come
in to your shop in connection with war prepar-
ations,
a. Whether the company has any agreement

breaks out.

tory for war production and IL this was done

(0) What the profits of the company were
during the years of the last war, compared with

as our leaflet distribution outside will be more
concrete and better received.

BY DAVID GORDON.

TIE Party Recruiting Drive brings sharply TO
our attention the need for coordination of
our organizationa1 work with that OF agitation
propaganda activity. The question OF org
sgitprop work spells the relationship between
our Party theory with our Party practice. The
understanding Of the linking up OF these two
phases OF our activity means better understand
ing Of how to win Party influence over the
masses and bring them into the Party organ
Ization.
Although the need for such coordination Of
org-agitprop work seems obvious we, neverthe-
less are forced to observe that attitudes have
been expressed to such coordination which need
a few words Of explanation.
For instance, it has been expressed by a lead
ing comrade, that he did not see the need for
having a joint org-agitprop department meeting
in which to discuss the relationship between
these activities. Although there was finally
agreement that such meetings should be called,
it is now some weeks since action on this was
to have been taken. 1t is imperative that such
meetings are held from time to time. Such hest
tation and postponement comes from an under
estimation Of the need for coordinating this
work.
We have continually stated that there is a
wide gap between our political influence and
our organizational strength. 1t has been usually
stated that it is because we are poor organ
izers" that We have not been able to build the
Party, the Young Communist League, our revo-
lutionary unions and other revolutionary organ
izatonS BY this was usually meant, or very
much implied, that we don't know how to con-
vince workers to join our revolutionary organiza-
tons. 1t is this writer's opinion that not only
the question Of method of approach to the work..
err was the reason for failure to secure organ

For More Clarity in the Struggle
Against Imperialist War

In popularizng the very correct slogan Of ODE
feat the impeTialist war against the Soviet I'm
ion many workers and even Party members
are confused as to the Party attitude towards
preventing war" This is confused with post
ponement OF the imperialist slaughter" While,
as outlined above we at all time must organize
periahst war-which can result in its postpone
ment-we must understand clearly that the
working class can only prevent war in the abb
sol,lte sense, by revolutionary mass struggle to
overthrow capitalism or through the revolution
airy transformation of the imperialist war into
q class war against our own capitalist class This
is stated very clearly and categorically in the
9th Congress G. L Resolution as follows:
WAR is irsePsrcb,e from capitalism From
this II follows that the sbotition of war is pos
sible only through the abolition of capitalism,
LeY through the overthrow of the bourgeois
class of explciters, through the prOletarian die
tatorship, the building of Socialism and elimi-
nation of classes All other theories and pro-
posals however realistic" they may claim to be,
are nothing but deception calculated TO per-
petuate exploitation and war"
ALSO
although convinced that war is inevitable
under the rule of the bourgeosie the Commun-
lists in the interests Of the masses of workers
wage persistent fight against imperialist war
and strive to prevent mperisIist wars by pro-
letarian revolution"

us Capitalism Plays with the
Dynamite of Initiation

decided to answer with inflatio internally by
reducing the gold coverage of the currency, by
issuing $2,500,000,00o in inflated money; by
wholesale watering Of government obligations;
by huge loans to banks without any security
and by the general policy of reducing the value
of money. forcing an increase in prices and in
stock and bond valuations
Squeeze Workers
BY this means American capitalism hopes to
squeeze billions out of the workers through max
ing their reduced wages, and small savings now
boarded worth less and less; by expropriating
rye sums from the middle class and by gen.
eral further drastic lowering of the standard OF
living of the workers
At the same time by leSsening the gold cover
age, American capitalism decided to establish u
larger free gold" reserve fund for the impeno-
ing battle with French and other European
capitalisms for financial supremacy.
This is the purpose of the Glass-Steagall Bill
which on the day of its announcement had
drastic results In Europe the gold exchange
value of the dollar is, dropping. The result will
be that soon huge quantities of gold will flow
out OF the United States endangering the gold
standard
1t is only natural in the face Of this situation
that the Hoover government with its entire press
is endcavoring to hide the plain facts from the
masses. The majority of the capitalist news
papers (and soon all will fall in line) declare
there is no initiation planned. They declare that
gold is being freed" and that business will be
stimulated.
vandenburg Admits Initiation.
When the Glass-Steagan measure was first
announced, one Of the close supporters Of the
Hoover government, Senator vandenburg OF
Michigan, rashly admitted that initiation was
