EXPEDITION OFFICERS
 WERE HONOR GUESTS
 AT CHAMBER LUNCHEON

Officers of the Alaskan Survey Expedition and s. R. Capps, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in Seward for a few days while enroute to1 Chignik Bay, were guests at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Tuesday.
 Lieut.. Robert H. Harrell, who commands the expedition, told Seward business men seated around the banquet table that "it has just been my privilege to complete a flight from Seattle to Seward and without any exaggeration, say that it is an unforgettable exper- fence; unexcelled in interest in the Is years that I have been flying. Undoubtedly, the way to see Alaska is from the air, for only from the air may one gather a conception of the real size and beauty of the country.
 q must confess that most of us in the States have little idea of the real extent and natural advantages of this Territory, and look for ward to the day when more and more people will have the -oppor- tunity to receive such an introduc- tion to Alaska as we have just en- joyed.
 "It seems to me that Alaska of fers a splendid field for aviation development, and that such devel- opment of aviation must greatly facilitate the further development of the Territory. The tremendous distances involved and the great natural barriers which stand in the way of other forms of trans portation only increase the value of aircraft, and when this fact is fully appreciated by the people of Alaska, they will find that the av- iation industry is ready to serve them.
 My short time in Alaska is all ready crammed with many inn i preSSions, but of these three stand out and I am sure they will be long remembered: The magnificance of the scenery, the bear and fish stories and the hospitality of the Alaskans; all of which I have been fortunate enough to enjoy"
 L. L. Rowe, commanding the air. plane tender, USS Gannet, stated that he enjoyed the Alaskan trip very much. He also gave an ex- planation of the ships name Gannet-which means a "sea-going goose"
 s. R. Capps, of the Geological Survey, who is accompanying the Navy expedition to the Chignik Bay area to make reconnaissance in that region, said he expected to secure data which otherwise would 1 be unavailable. He was of the opinion that this data might of necessity be somewhat scattered and no particular spot could be given a thorough study. He said, however, that whatever could be learned about this practically un- known region would be of value.
 Lieut. H. B. Hutchinson, expert aerologist, said that from observa- tions that have been made thus far, the Alaskan coast weather is no worse than the coast weather of California. He also added that AL askan seas are no worse than the waters of the North Sea. Lieutenant Hutchinson hopes to obtain val uable new meteorological data thru the use of the planes for upper air observations over a corner of the earth where little has been done along these lines.

The opsn meeting organized by ttMs nsessus,
to which sympathetic workers were invited, re-
vea1ed the reason for this fact The remarks
of these workers indicate the cause Of stAgns-
ton:
Worker No. /: why Is It that the Party
members try to shift responsibility for the daily
work on the shoulders Of non-party members7'
Worker No. q: why is it that the Party
members always quarrel among themselves, and
do not show the lead to the workers as unified
whole?"
Worker No. 3: why Is IT that the Party mem
bers separate themselves from the non-party
workers and seem to act as a ciique7"
Worker No. 4: why is 1t that we we're never
called to such meeting or had discussed with
US on other occasions the meeting and role Of
the Party and its relation to our struggles7 This
meeting comes to me as a. sort Of surprise"
These remarks of the workers indicate the
fact that our Party nucleus instead Of being In
the forefront and the driving force in the shop,
was, in fact, at the tail-end. This condition
made it impossible for the Party to grow. It
also accounts for the fact that many oppor-
tunistic errors were made in the conduct of the
struggle against labor Takers because We did
not have the proper nucleus which can serve as
a guarantee for the carrying out OF the Party
line.
These remarks, however, VIII have rejuven-
attng effect on our Party members and are sure
to bring some results If the statements Of these
on-party workers are take nser1ously We can
record also the fact that one worker from the
shop has Joined the Party in the last couple of
weeks, and more will be drawn in during the
course Of the drive.

The Plenum OF District No. accepted with
great enthusiasm your challenge extended to us
through the representative of the Central Com
nittee. We are ready to compete with you COM
rades in the nine weeks drive aiming at the
strengthening Of the Party with new forces,
especially by workers from big factories.
Our principal goal is the entrenchment Of the
Party in the steel, chemical and railroad indus
tries We are determined to establish during
the drive five new shop nuclei and four new
shop papers IN these industries. We challenge
you to meet this goal with similar efforts in your
three most important industries: brass, ammuni-
ton and railroad.

a conrade in Section 4, Of the New York
district, has remarked to Us upon the astorlish-
rent of the Section Organization Secretary ct
the report made by one. Just one, unit In that
Section.
Looking over the unit reports in the Section
Bureau meeting, the Org secy., growled about
one, this phenomenal one, something to this
effect:
Look here This one sends me even tina
report Of the members on fraction activity! what
have I to do with thsP"
Evidently neither he nor anyone else In the
Section Bureau knew Not that we can blame
this altogether on them. Because after all, theirs
is district Org. Dept and Fraction Director
that might have been interested enough in what
the Party members are doing to have clarified
this point in advance. Of course, they, too, will
doubtless pass the buck somewhere 1t is an art
acquired with due persistence and nowhere does
this art flourish as in New York.
However, in conversing with the National Org
Dept, the comrades there suggest that we
nominate in Section 4, which did such an unusual
thing as having its members report their fraction
activities, for the Order of the Red Banner
The only trouble was, apparently, that 1t was
such an ideal piece of work that it was not
recognized IS part of the work at all by those
SO accustomed to mediocrty-and worse.

Farmers OF Upper
Mich. Are Beginning
to Fight Starvation
BY BURCK

THE farmers of the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan are facing the crisis in determined
mood to fight for their rights rather than to
submit to attempts of the bankers and rich
farmers to force them into tenantry and off
farms they have spent the best part of their
lives in making into homes for themselves and
their families Throughout this part Of the
state farmers taxes have gone up in many cases
as much as 500 per cent in the last three years.
Mortgages are threatening to drive the majority
out into the cities to swell the army of unem-
ployed. In South Ontonagon county the Fed
era1 Land Bank officials at a banquet for the
mortgaged farmers openly told them that 81
farms are to be sold for mortgages during the
month of Nov. and that they need expect no
leniency from them. In every county the same
situation is to be found.
In answer to this action of the bankers the
farmers are beginning to realize that they can
not go on any longer in this way. In Pelkie,
Mich. $50 farmers at meeting passed a resolu-
ton demanding: cancellation of mortgage and
interest payments, tax exemption for poor
farmers, lower wages for county and township
officials as the main demands for which they
are going to fight At Nisula about the same
number adopted similar resolution. At these
meetings committees were elected for carrying
on the work further.
Other sections are also starting the same
movement following the example of these small
farmers
One farmer there mentioned that his farm
while worth $4,000 will be sold for mortgage
of $500 because he cannot beg nor borrow the
money for its payment These farmers are not
going to take this challenge of the bankers and
the rich farmers without fighting and they are
already building their committees which will
bring the demands of the farmers to the county
officials and then carry on the fight to the
end where few bankers will not be able to
drive the farmers off their homesteads.
The farmers here do not yet know about the
United Farmers League and its program of
struggle for the poor farmers but they know
that only by struggle they expect to get
anything for themselves The struggle must be
a united struggle where the poor farmers and
the workers get together to In real finish fight
against the system that breeds these conditions
until they wipe it from the face of the earth.

TEzs wisconsin Section hsSd Conference Isst
1 Sunday where over fifty leading comrades
discussed our past work and laid down plans
for activities in the coming months. In spite
of the most dauserous enemy Of the working
class-the social demagogy Of La Toilette pro-
gressives and of the socialist party-it was
pointed out by all comrades how receptive the
workers are to our message, and how good or
ganizational results can be obtained out OF our
activities. AS proof Of 1t, the conference regis
tered the establishment Of two new shop nuclei,
and steady-though slow-growth OF ctr Party
membership. Our quota Of 400 members Is only
about thirty short and this will be reached, too,
by the Lenin Memorial
Our Section Conference accepted with en-
thusiasrn the proposals of the Section Commit
tee for the coming recruiting drive. The original
quota of $50 new members, set by the district,
was increased to 200, with the objective Of draw
ing in IS workers from the metal industry, and
to form four new shop nuclei in the metal branch
where We have already % comrades, besides
additional workers from other important indus
tries, and new shop nuclei in the Packing
Plant It was also decided to pay special atten-
ton to members of the American Federation of
Labor, besides the three weak points Of our sec
tion-Negro, young workers and women workers.
The Section Conference decided to challenge
the Indianapolis Section on the following four
main points
l. That We Will fill our quota OF 200 sooner
that you will fill yours.
2 To have 90 per cent OF our members paid
up in dues.
g. To have new shop nuclei formed by
March IS
l. To have functiontng buroe in every unit by
the end OF the drive.

the wife of Efrem Zimbalist, violinist,
today criticized mothers who hire peo-
pie to bring their children up.
"A woman doesn't have to be a psy-

merely has to give some of herself to
her children" said Miss Gluck, who is
one Of the speakers on the National
Child Health day program, sponsored
by the American Child Health Asso-

This slender Rumanian, who has en-
tranced audiences in various parts Of
the world, has had time 10 raise three
children and manage several homes.
She Is a grandmother, too.

o rotten housekeeper, but my con-
science keeps squirting me along" she
said.
Maria Virginia, 16, and Efrem, jr.,

"policed" by their mother before they
will practice. Mrs. Marcia Davenport,
the elder daughter, is mother Of a Z
year-old girl, and an author.
