and Answers
QUESTION: What is the posi-
ton of the Communist Party on
boycott of German goods in this
country?


ANSWER: The boycott of German
goods grew out of the mass resent
ment Of the Jewish people outside OF
Germany, and was an unorganized
response to fascist attacks on Jews.
At first the big Jewish business men
fought it, and later gave qualified
support to the movement, so long as
it did not lead to more violent forms
of struggle against fascism.
The Communist Party does not in
itiate the boycott as struggle against
German fascism. The boycott is not
the basic means of struggling against
fascism, though it has its value when
it springs from the masses and as
sumes mass proportions. Very often,
reforrnists and some of the Jewish
business leaders, propose the boycott
in order to lessen other and more
effective means of struggling, involv-
ing mass organization and the strug-
gle of the workers transcending race
lines.
We do not oppose the boycott.
Neither do we take the Initiative in
furthering it. We stress the need for
united front of all elements fight
ing fascism, through mass pressure,
demonstrations, meetings, resolutions
and other actions to fight against
fascism If the boycott assumes mass
proportions we will support it, point
ing out its limitations, and attempting
to organize the anti-fascist sentiment
that is expressed in the boycott into
more powerful forms of struggle and
organization.
In China, when the masses took up
a nationwide boycott against Japa-
nese goods, the Communist Party
supported the boycott, but proposed
more revolutionary means for resist
ance to japanese imperialism. They
called for the arming of the entire
population and the declaration of a
peoples revolutionary war. So far as
the boycott is concerned, they urged

Weekly, in endorsing the congress,
says in part:
I'VE take this action, because we
realize that the greed of Wall Street
for profits is fast driving this coun-
try into an imperiahst war as
mighty and as destructive as the
world war. We know that the United
States government while declaring its
peaceful intentions prepares for
war
1--WE know further that these wars
cannot be prevented merely by us as
individuals, Directing to them. They
can be prevented only by the or
ganized and united might of the
majority of workers and farmers in
this country"
This statement of the farmers is
signed by Lem Harris, executive sec
rotary of the Farmers National Com
mittee for Action.
The committee has joined with
fifty other organizations in endorsing
this congress. Donald Henderson,
! secretary of the arrangements COM
mittee for the congress reports that
the widest united front in the his
tory of the American labor movement
has been set up to support the con-
gress.
Communists, socialists, liberals and
pacifists from groups representing
labor, unemployed, veteran, Negro
and farmers groups, have endorsed
the congress and are active in prep
aration for it.
The Purposes of the Congress.
The American Congress Against
War will be a mass congress of dele
gates from workers organizations and
especially from the basic sections of
American industry; from the farms
and from the Civil Conservation
Camps.
Donald Henderson, who is also
executive secretary of the American
Committee for the Struggle Against
War, points out three concrete OBJ
jectives of this congress
First. must be the forwarding of
the broadest possible unity in the
struggle against war. The united
front that has been established in
the preparation for the congress must
be continued and strengthened in
the day to day struggles after the
congress.
The congress has as its second task
the establishing of mass base of
support among the workers and
farmers for the program laid down
at the Amsterdam Congress Against
War, held last year.
Most important of all must be the
active work of the delegates attend
ing the congress to work out and car
ry out program of every day re-
lentless struggle against war prep
arations, a struggle conferred in the
basic war and transport industries
of the country.
The present indications are that
hundreds of delegates Of different
political beliefs will be present from
many sections of the country pre-
pared to face the problems of the
fight against the growing war prep
arations of the ifaperialists.

number Of people were collected at q ven

They all joined, desiring him to speak
his mind, and gathering round him, he
proceeded as follows:

says, and he that EUes on hopes sOiU de

Poor Richard likewise observes, he that hath

calling hath an office of profit and honor;
but then the trade must be worked at, and
the calling well followed, or neither the
estate nor the office viii enable us TO pay

Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard"
was born 227 years ago, tenth son of q soap
boiler. He lived during the hardest shard
times" in the history of the nation and by
the use of frugal savings became one of the
rich men of his time, after trying to make
mot many men rich, but all men well TODD"
Benjamin Franklin is one who pro-
pounded theory, practiced it and proved
its worth. In times when there were no
such opportunities as now afforded he be-
came a rich man by accepting the natural
advantages around him.
While those around him were complain
ing about hard times" he was living q
life Of 'nOrmalcy. He felt that those were
times to try the harder for although he was
not getting rich he found
N0aU I haze sheep and cOsC

He found that he had to care for him
self, since in such times none other might
be expected TO care for him. IL Is one
thing to turn your money over to someone
else and hope for financial success. 1t is
another thing to handle your 0sCn business.

He that BIZ the plough sO0ssld thrive
himself must either hold OF drive.
So it Is that one investor viii hand his
money over promoter or broker and ex-
pect that promoter or broker to make a
fortune for the investor who knows nothing
Of the enterprise. Yet money making Is
. matter of Brain POaUeT, as everyone knows.
The investor need only look among those
who have made money and see that they are
the ones who have put their own brain
power into their investments, in keeping
with the adage that the eye of the master
fOiu do more than both his hands.
Continues Franklin: Trusting too much
to others care is The ruin of many; for, as
the Almanac says, 81 the affairs of this
sCorld men are saUed not BIZ faith, Bat by
the s0ant Of IL; for saith Poor Dick, learn
ing Is 10 the statdiOms, and riches TO the
careful; as wen as, pOaUeT to the bold, and
keaVen to the Virtuoats.
Franklin knew that no matter how
little money he made, it was up to him TO
do more than merely eat and clothe himself:
he had TO eGVe something. It Is q strange
human trait that the man who is used
to saving something out Of $50 day viii
overspend and save nothing out of $40
day while others viii live and get rich"
on SO q day in these times Of 1O-cent eggs
and 1O-cent steaks and $40 royalties.

at last.
If you would be wealthy, says he in

remember what poor Richard says, many

and arise men eat them.
We are reminded again of q Kevin-Sun-
burst landowner who in the early days was
given many big opportunities. We would
have bought part of his royalty at one time
and paid him enough money so that he could
have taken care Of his future. AS it was.

drilled on his farm. 1t was an oil well.
The operator spread out too much and went

ton followed, lasting for years. Our friend

have the same story to relate about some

Then we are reminded Of the Havre
investor who sneered at his friends little
royalty checks each month. The friend was
a royalty investor In q small way. He took
what little money he could save and invested
il in carefully selected properties and waited
for their development. He is the kind who
sees the ultimate value of property, and is
willing and contented 10 buy proven prop
erty and sCait patiently. The investor"
who did the sneering went into the stock
market in q big way. He bought @big
winners" like Insul securities and in the
security Of "big business" he invested not
only all Of his savings but he bought on
margin and mortgaged everything he had
to make "big killing. The outcome need
not be related. And so the royalty investor
might quote Poor Richard:

complain Of bad times, Of the difficulty Of

This doctrine, my friends. is reason
