oh, why couldn't she be permitted peace on her wedding day? ,shc was asking herself. Why must Sally and her problems forever come between her and the things she wanted? It wasn't fair. But Sally would win-she always won.
 What happened?" She seemed to hear Dale's voice coming from a long, long distance. She knew that he was standing very close to her. She thought that his hand was on her arm. She wasn't sure, She didn't seem quite cer- tain of anything. the room was going away.
 She caught herself. made her eyes rest on her sisters face.
 She heard Sally telling the same story that she had told before and realized that 1t must be true and the need for money must be ur- gent or Sally wouldn't be humbling herself just now.
 "I'M loan 1t to you," Dale Court neyt was answering.
 Tluth felt q swift, glad sense Of relief. Not because she cared what happened to Prichard. He was n coward who deserved to be locked up. Not because she want ed her sister to escape suffering. She needed it. But because Dale was helping because he had understood.
 Then all of sudden the room went spinning again and she felt herself caught in strong arms that held her close. It seemed hours before she regained consciousness. She didn't quite know where she was. ..
 Tt hasn't been five minutes." Dale whispered and his voice was curiously tender. DO you know you need someone to take care of you rather badly, sweetheart?"
 She smiled. She couldn't talk just yet. It was like entering Paradise to know that she didn't need to carry the burdens for her family any more-that someone whom she loved would carry hers from now on.
 But all thruogh the time that followed while she grew stronger, prepared for the ceremony, and lis- tened to the hum of the wedding plans, she felt curiously removed from everything that was happen- ing.
 Sue slipped into her room just before the ceremony.
 If you are just partly us happy as I am," she said, you'll never be sorry you are marrying Dale. And I haven't told you that I'm not working for Arnold Page any more. That's over. And let mo give you just one piece of advice-- if your ideas and Dale's aren't alike about things. give in. Oh, don't mean that you should be ar echo. Men hate that. Have some personality, of course. But make it he n nice. comforting sort of background-nota q battlefield"
 "I understand" Ruth answered.
 "Sue," Jack was calling some where.
 "Coming," she answered softly.

Dale Loans Money to Prichard

Dale Loans Money 10 Prichard
 Ruth made some gay and trivi- al remarks to Dale Courtney as he appeared in the doorway of the Bradley house. She was wonder ing how much she should tell him of the problem confronting Sally and Hal Prichard. She wasn't sure if he would understand and she wanted him to, rather dreadfully.
 Anything I can do to help" he asked quietly. Ruth saw then that he couldn't have helped but notice the tension in the faces of the people in the room.
 "I don't know" She said 1t slowly, still puzzled.
 But Sally was playing for high stakes.
 "Yes! We need some money. .... we need It right away. and Ruth refuses to let us have it." Her brittle voice was flaming with an- ger. Tho plea that she had used before was gone now. She had af1 audience and she wasn't afraid.
 "I haven't any money, Sally" Ruth told her again, more weariiy.

Together with capitalism as a

the purely human" and mechanical
division of the South into states

Party theoreticians view the ques-
ton of Negro majority entirely
from the point of view of the exist

South. Together with the Census
Bureau and the U. S. Government
they find that only within the ter

Comrade Earl Browder in his reply
to Norman Thomas attack upon
determination, says our so
cialist scholar" by resorting to a
verbal subterfuge has concealed the
true state of facts" They base
themselves on the statement by
Browder that BLACK Belt runs
through eleven southern states and
includes 80 counties forming con-

are over so per cent of the pop
ulation, a considerable larger area
than many European countries"
Then our S. P. scholar" proceeds
to uncover the "Subterfuge" at the
same time covering himself with
confusion and by his own figures

He objects to the Communist
proposal to remove these state and
county borders which have served
the imperialist purpose of conceal
ing the basic territorial, economic
and historical unity Of the Black
Belt.
According to his figures, there are
191 counties having a Negro ma
jority of 665 per cent taken as a
whole. Another 21l counties, in the
same general territory, have Negro
population of 42.7 per cent. He

IN the 10th anniversary of its adj
" vent into power, Fascisln an
nomced what Mussolini called the
most far-reaching amnesty ever
granted by any government in
Italy.
How "far- reaching" this "amnes-
ty" is can be easily seen. 1t is ex-
tended only to those sentenced to
less than five years In Jail or in
an island, while the prisoners con-
demned to serve more than five
years in prison are only entitled to
an insignificant reduction Of their
terms, provided their behaviour
in fail was such as to make them
worthy Of it!
As most of the political prison
ers, leaders Of the Communist
Party and militant anti-fascist
workers, are to serve from ten to
thirty years Of penal isolation, II
is clear that none of them will
regain liberty as result of Mus
solini's amnesty.
Even the political prisoners SUI
fering in the hideous islands will
not benefit from Mussolini,s "gen-
crosby" unless they pledge not to
carry on any anti-fascist activity
once they are free. It is true that
all of them are to serve no more
than five years in the islands, but
1t is also true that for those who
refused to be forced into DESERVING
the class struggle, the terms are
automatically extended without any
trial.

then makes the mistake (for him)
of actually removing the borders by
adding the population Of these 4O2
counties and arriving at the total of
1922, 554 whites and 5,302,505 Ne
groes. This gives the Negroes a
clear majority of 479,951 or 524 per
cent for this continuous territory
taken as a whole.
FORCED TO admit"
BLACK BELT
By a glance at his own map, it
can easily be seen that there is a
continuous territory, in which the
majority of the Negroes in one
place offset the minority in another
territory beginning from Southern
Maryland and running into Texas
ON which the Negroes have a clear
majority.
Thus by his own figures, this $50
cialiSt scholar" has committed the
same "mathematically dubious"
crime of which he accuses the Com
munists. But keeping his eyes
tightly closed to his own figures,
he accuses the Committee of dis
honest scholarship. In fact, 1t is
not to blemishing of the purity
Of truth and scholarship that this
student" objects. His real objec-
ton lies in the Communist inSiS-
tence that the existing state and
county borders be removed and that
the territorial unity of the Black
Belt be established. This is nee
ceSsary part of the right of self
determination, for without clearly
established boundaries to the Black
Belt, the Negro majority cannot
exert their right to governmental
authority and their right to choose
between separating from or fedora
ton with the then existing U. S.
government. ~.

The denial of American Socialist

history of betrayal of the second

Europe refuse to recognize such ter
ritorial unity for the oppressed ma

exposure of the betrayal by the

that the proletariat must not evade
the question that is particularly
unpleasant for the bourgeoisie,
namely, the question of the state
