Radical and Conservative
MOnr0e JOuruQl)

We have noticed that no mat
ter how much the country talks
forward, it generally votes
| backward That is, we talk
progressive and vote conserva-
tive.
This subject is brought to the
fore now by the report that Mr..
Roosevelt is taking pains to let
it be known that he is conser-
vative Of course he is con-
servative. Like the country at
large, he is temperamentally
conservative, And a man who
is mentally conservative can
never be much of radical. He
may, under the stress Of need
and according to the dictates of
logic at times take radical ac-
ton, but he will take it in con-
servative way, that is, he does
not lose his sense Of perspective.
La that way Woodrow Wilson
was both radical and conserva-
tive.
Ii there ever was time when
the country should have gone
radical it was in 1896. 1t talked
radical and breathed revolution.
But it voted standpat.
After the world war the
country stuck it's head in the
sand and returned to normalcy
with a Whoop. Six months ago
the J0urnal said that the trend
was then conservative notWith-
standing the fact that everybody
was talking revolution. Mr..
Roosevelt has no chance Of cleo
ton upon progressive-in fact
as well as in theory-platform.
Why? The answer is that
when people go so far in any
one direction they are bound to
reach the end and make back
ward turn. The emotions can
be stimulated so far and no fur
ther. Hence real radiealism
runs out before it has had time
to become crystalized into ac-
ton. Therefore, what real
progress is attained is always
brought about by the interplay
of action and reaction, step by
step. Like a wild horse, we have
to become bridle-wise. Things
cease to be radical when we get
used to them and by and by a
Woodrow Wilson comes along
and takes up the former radi-
cal ideas and works them up
conservatively in concrete ex-
preston.

posal of Glassford of veteran fame
in the bloody battle of Washington
on July %. This great friend"
OF the eX-soldiers, who engineered
the attack on them in Washington,
has suddenly discovered a soft
spot" in his heart for the homeless
youth. Glassford proposes gov
eminent appropriation of S15,000,-
600 for the establishment of mill
tary camps for the homeless youth.
AT these camps they will be offered
food and lodging, sports, military
training-eyerything that the aver
age boy desires-but they will be
under military regime. They will
receive the proper education"
against the workers, the unemploy-
ed, the Communists, and all fight
ing sections of the population. This
idea is being embodied in a bill
proposed to the Senate by Senator
Wagner, who demands an appro-
priation of $10,0O0,000. And Sena-
tor Wagner is also regarded as a
friend Of the people" supported by
the reactionary chiefs of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
There is still another proposal in

young unemployed into the army

reduced pay, to Improve their

THESE are steps of the grayest ma
ture for the revolutionary move

Glassford, Wagner, Baker an d
Smith have in mind-an army to
be used against the unemployed,
against strikers, against all the
struggles Of the workers. 1t pre-
sents a problem of the greatest
moment to the workers.
The Unemployed Councils, Young
Communist League, the revolution
airy unions and the Party must
carry on intense work among the
young workers. We must concen-
trate at those places where the
young, unemployed are particularly
to be found, connecting them up
with the employed workers. We
must build up organization among
the homeless youth. In each city
and town they must be sought out,
and fight be made for their re-
lief.
Such fights have been won de-
spite regulations. These youth must
be provided with the forms of ac-
tiyity that youth demands. This
is not a question only for the youth
1T is burning question for the
entire working class.

way of protecting themselves from

sends them to Jail or gives them

means ban upon them in town

PROBLEM SOLVED
IN SOVIET UNION
THIS was problem in the Soviet
Union after the Revolution and
particularly after the famine, when
the parents and relatives of many
children died fighting against the
counter-reYolution and hunger, and
the children were deserted. They
became nomads, little brigands.
But today they are completely re-
habilitated and there is no youth
problem in the Soviet Union in
this respect, for every young
worker studies and works.
But in the United States with no
prospect of the crisis lifting, with
the assurance even of capitalist
economists that should we return
to the peak production of 1929.

just as the city governments advo-
Gated keeping the children in the

not say how the children would be

During the speech of the prin-
cipal one member of the Unem-
ployed Council booed him. Another
member told the one who boosd to
shut up. The first one refused.
So the second one took a punch at
him. This resulted in fist fight
that put the whole meeting in an
uproar. Many parents, seeing this,
began walking out of the hall.
Some came over to me and told
me: you see we agree with you.
But look at those people (pointing

can learn
l. The comrades from the I'm
employed Council, instead of going
to the meeting with the idea of
uniting all the workers for these
issues, actually went with the idea
of Capturing" the meeting or
forcing the workers to accept our
leadership. A united front Of all
these parents cannot be formed on
the basis of who will be chairman
OF the meeting. The United Front
can only be formed around the is
sues of the workers.

before such large meetings, where

meet and work out its plans so

AGAINST THE PHRASE,
ITS WHITE or you"

Dear Comrades:
l should like 10 call your atten-
ton to white chauvinist express
sion that got by in a recent issue
Of the Daily Worker.
In the issue of December 81, on
page four, appears an article
quite coed article, too-on "Mr.
Ham Fish in Debate" by Nancy
F.
Quite properly. Comrade Nancy
f. gets sarcastic about Mr.. Fish's
denlagogy, and at one point SAYS:
What's that you say, hollow man?
Z believe in the peoples right to
revolution?' Mighty white of you,
Mr. Fishl'
Now just what does that ex-
preston, mighty white" mean?
Undoubtedly, Comrade Nancy n
didn't know it, but that is only
one of the many expressions that
have crept into the language as
the result of the American system
of national oppression of twelve
million Negroes in the United
States, and, in general, the whole
system of oppression of the darker
peoples by the white imperialists
all over the world,
EXPRESSION REFLECTION OF
SYSTEM.
Now we all know that popular
expressions and idioms-the whole
language, in fact-are not sheer
accidents. The expressions that a
certain language uses grow out of
the whole system and life and
theology of the country where that
language is used. Today in the
Soviet Union, the phrases "shock
brigades,' tempo and so on are
to be heard not only in the fac
tories and in meetings, but also in
the home from the children play
ing games, and SO on. Such words
and others are an expression Of
the prevailing systematic Soviet
systenl--and of its effect on the
everyday life of the people, whom
it is moving to conscious social
effort.
The oppression of the Negroes
is one Of the most important props
of the capitalist system in America.
and the idea Of "white superiority"
is one of those ideas which all the
forces of the capitalists do their
best to keep up. The schools, with
their distorted text books; the
press, with its stories of rape by
Negroes; the churches, with their
sanction of capitalism and oppres-
sion; the radio, which broadcasts

BY L, MARTIN

by u. mani
A MERICAN rail Brotherhood lead
n ers have been talking for a
long time Of shorter hours with
shorter pay Soviet rail workers
have actually been putting shorter
hours into effect, with increased
wages.
One of the first Soviet railroad
jobs the writer visited this sum
n1er was the Perova car repair
shops, a few miles outside Moscow.
I arrived about $3.50, only to run
into a steady stream of workers
quitting for the day. They had
started work at 1870, had an hour
for lunch, and now had completed
their seven-hour day. They were
hurrying home, eager to make the
most of the summer afternoon
not quitting near dusk, like most
American workers, with only the
evening hours to call their own.
THE 7-HOUR DAY
On every other job we visited we
found the 7-hour day strictly en-
forced. Overtime is permitted only
in an emergency, must be paid at
time and-a-half or double time,
and is limited to $50 hours a year
for any one worker Working
hours of Soviet train crews are
limited on a monthly basis to the
equivalent of a 7-hour day. They
work 1853 hours month.
In personal---very. days Rus
sian railroad workers had to put in
II, 10 or any number of hours a
day. The revolution brought with
it The 8-hour day, and introduction
of the 7-hour day began with the
Five-Year Plan. BY January 1882,
more than $4,000 Soviet rail work
ers lad had their hours shortened
to seven, and by the end of the
year the 7-hour day will have be-
come universal
And the 7-hour day is only a
step to still shorter hours. A
6-hour day is already enforced in
dangerous or trying work, and the
Second Five Year Plan calls for its
general introduction.
THE working week has been short
ened as well as the working day
(bringing with it increased not. de-
creased weekly wages, unlike the
American shipments 5-day week..
Practically all Soviet railroaders
are now either working five days
and resting the sixth, or else work
ing four days and resting the fifth.
This means, of course, far more
rest days in a year than American
railroad men have. And the leisure
enjoyed by Soviet rail workers is
increased still further by paid va
cations. The American rail must
lose wages if he takes any time off
for a vacation, and few can afford
to do so. But his Soviet brother
gets two to four weeks vacation
each year with full wages paid for
all the time he is off.
NOTE SHARP CONTRASTS
Talking with locomotive engi-
neers, trainmen, shopmen and la
borars at the Oktyabrskaya ter
ninal and shops in Moscow. we
f. noted many other contrasts with
American conditions, particularly in
regard TO promotion.
In the United States it takes the
best part of a lifetime to become
a locomotive engineer. In fact, few
firemen can hope for promotion at
all at the present time. They are
lucky to be even on The extra
board. since most fhamen's jobs
are now held by denoted engi-
