Power to Revamp Federal
Agencies Sought in Spe.
ciaI Message.
Continued From First Page.)

Research (change from present Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture).
Assistant Secretary for Agricultural
Economics (change from directory.
The President pointed out that the
| 10 major executive departments and
! the major regulatory financial boards
and commissions should, of course, be
maintained. Some of these existing
| agencies, he explained. are already or
ganized upon the basis Of their majo
purpose, but functions of the same ma
jor purpose now outside of these groups
should be transferred to them.
What President Hoover is known to
look upon as being one of the outstand-
ing features of his proposed reorganiza-
ton is the proposed consolidation of all
construction activities Of the Govern
ment under an administrator OF public
works, who would be independent of
any one department and who would
come directly under the President. This
activity would be known as the Public
Works Administration" and would un-
dertake all construction work in service
to the different departments of the
Government except the naval and mill
tary and some of the highly special
lied construction work.
Second in Importance.
Next in Importance from the Presi-
dents viewpoint is the creation of a
personnel administration, which would
have supervision of all matters relat-
ing to the personnel of the executive
branch Of the Government service.
This is expected to take over the United
States Employees Compensation Com
mission, part Of the work Of the present
Classification Board and probably a
part Of the work Of the Bureau Of En-
cheney.
The personnel administration. as sug-
geSted to Congress by the President,
would have the Civil Service Commits
sion act as an advisory body The
President proposes to maintain the
Civil Service Commission as it now is
and would require the approval of this
body in all regulatory questions that
come before the personnel admin
strator The President would have
the personnel administrator act also
as chairman of the Civil Service
Commission. All other functions re-
lating to the personnel Of the Govern
ment should, in his opinion be trans
ferred to the personnel administration
as may be deemed wise from time to
| time.

Communist Percentages

Comrade L. H. writes in urging that re coun-
sci comrades to use their head sa well as their
tongue when making statements in private con-
verSations with workers
AS an example he cites comrade vino, in a
talk with workers gathered by chance in a park,
said: ''Ninety-five per cent of the Communists
are good" Our correspondent interrupted to re-
mind him: "One hundred per cent Of the Com
munists are good"
But" says he, "the conlrade became hiz1x

We recall that one OF the counter Revolutionary
movements in the Soviet Union was masked
under the slogan: For the Soviets; and with
the good Communists; but against the bad Com
munists"

Is the point: I have been working on certain

they were convinced the paper contained the

THE USE OF SHOCK TROOP WORK IN THE RECRUIT

Two months ago when We analysed the results
Of the unit concentration upon particular
factories, We came to the conclusion that the
former method Of concentration did not bring
about desired results When ne had units con-
centratine upon particular factories it was I'M
possible for the comrades Of the units TO meet
With the workers from the shops upon which
they we're concentrating because the unit was
made up Of comrades working in various Sec
lions OF the city, distances away from the shop
that they were concentrating upon. AS result
Of this discussion we decided to establish shock
troops.
These shock troops were TO be composed on
voluntary basis Of comrades from various units
in a particular section consisting OF no more
than from z to 10 comrades, and that they we're
to concentrate upon the particular shop that in
section. These comrades we're TO be comrades

Of the Chinese Revolution and the Soviet Union
In the face Of the advance OF the Chinese
Revolution under the leadership OF the Ccm-
muriSt Party of China, the Kuomiptang and
imperialiSt reaction has tried repeatedly TO
smash the revolution by means OF lies, SANDERS
and direct armed attack. The Kuomintang I'M

pa1gns" aaginst the Soviets and their Red Army
The soldiers of the Kuomintang, without pay
for months and influenced by the propaganda
Of the Red Army refused to fight against their
own toilng brothers and many Of them mutinied.
Chang Kai-shek, who suffered crushing defeat
at the hands of the Red Army, dissolved the
Headquarters Of the Suppression Campaign"
However, being dictated to by imperialism,
Landlords and the bourgeoisie, the Kuomintang
did not learn the lessons OF its defeats At the
Fourth Plenum Of the Kuomintang, a motion
was passed to suppress the Communists and
the bandits" and plans worked out to establish
Suppression Commanders in Kinagsi Hupeh and
Honan Provinces Chang Kai-shek, who De-
came a christian" not long ago, convened thirty
leading christians to appeal TO the irnperialst
powers for more direct aid in the suppression
Of the reds!
Since the defeats OF the Kuomintang and
especially since the First National Congress Of
the Chinese Soviets, the Chinese Red Army has
made Roadway along all fronts. The Red Army
occupied Khan on Nov. II, one Of the strateg1cal
points in Kiangsi Province. The Red Army met
with little resistance from the Kuomintsng Army
and is now at 10 Huarn, near Nanchang, the
capital OF Kiangsi Province. Along the border
OF Human and Kiangsi the Red Army unGer the
commandership OF Comrade Ii Min Shut, has
advanced along the direction OF Len Hua and
Cha Lin. defeating the Kuomintang Army OF
Chen Kwon Chung. The Sixteenth Corps of
the Red Army, under the commandership OF
Comrade Kung Ho Chung, is advancing towards
Ptnkiang and Liu Yang. Along the eastern
front, the Fifteenth Corps of the Red Army is
making Roadway towards Chehkiang Province
The Red Army in Fukein Province is also ex-
tending Its victories towards Kwantung and
Chehking, The Red Army, under the command
ership of Comrade Ho Lung, has occupied i'm
portant towns along the Yangtse River around
the Hankow area. The Red Army is also ex-
tending its sway towards Szechuan and Anflwei
The Agrarian and Anti-Imperialst Revolution
has thus been deepened and extended

ings ano paralyzed the possibility Of developing
new proletarian forces. The new Party mem
bers are made to feel that they play no part
whatever in the unit except listen to speeches.
Reports and discussions should be distributed to
include as many comrades as possible. New
Party members should be encouraged to speak,
to make a simple report on their ACTIVITY, TO
express their views on Party problems.
Elementary classes should be developed or a
section scale for the new members so that We
give them some concrete points in connection
with the work of our Party. The work must be
organized in such a manner that the comrades
get at least one night week for study. We
must especially convince and encourage the new

should pay close attention TO the political de-

backward members. The Section Weekend
Training Schools should be utilized Tor the de-

Departments must develop their machinery IN
such way that all red tape is avoided insofar
as the new Party comrade being assigned to a
unit is concerned. We have had experiences In
the past where workers waited for months to be
assigned to Party work This is an imperrnis-
sible situation ana we must form our MACHINERY
