Y GU NC BASS
TO BE SAY ED
Equipment to Be Loaned by
State Game Commission :
Meet Next Wednesday

The Kennewick Rod and Gun
club last night laid plans for the
salavaging of millions of small
bass that are yearly trapped in
numerous pools at the mouth OF
the Yakima river.
A delegation that journeyed to
Walla Walla recently learned from
state game commissioner Virgil
Bennington that the commission
will lend sportsmen here seines
and equipment for the salvaging
of these fish. They will also aid
in transporting to other districts
in exchange for other warm water
varieties less numerous here.
A resolution was adopted that
recommended to the county organ
ization to provide in their bylaws
for sportsmen who were not IL
cense holders last year to become
members. Those that present prop
credentials to the effect they coull
not afford hunting and fishing
license this season but did desire
to become members of the sports
men OTRdHlZdIlOu WOulu Ue SH-
titled to membership card. This
action was taken because of the
number of persons who won d
like to be members, but were eth
er not residents of the locality
last year and were therefor not IL
cense holders, or the fact that the
present economic conditions pre-
vented them from the purchase of
license.
No set of bylaws for the local
club have been adopted as yet, as
the county set-up is being chang
ed, and it will be necessary for the
local club to conform with them
in various respects.
President Visger urged that a
heavy turnout be on hand at the
meeting next Wednesday night at
the city hall, as important meas
ures are to take definite form for
the fish salvage and the bylaws
and constitution will thei be pre-
scented for adoption or amendment.

KITE CONTEST
CALLED QUITS
Kiwanis Club Cancels Contest
Cause Kids Can't Comply ;
Continue Quest

Lack of sufficient wind to make
the Kennewick Kiwanis kide kite
contest a success last Saturday,
resulted in a fine archery contest.
Seventeen kids tried to hit the
yellow bulseye set up in the park
and Leland Jones scored the high
est. He won a fine five-foot bow,
string and a couple of arrows. In
as much as he is scout and al
ready has such equipment, he gra-
ciously passed on the prize to Du-
ane Campbell, whose score was one
point lower.
The kite flying will again be
tried Saturday of this week, when
the Kiwanions will also show their
skill. An unique" entry-a dark
secret-will also be aloft-if it will
fly. A fine prize has, been donated
for the kids and their parents are
invited to be present at the park
at two Saturday afternoon.

PERFECT HAND

Not so very long ago Mrs. J. F.
Scott told a group of friends that
she could see nothing in the game
of pinochle and that she thot the
game a foolish pastime. A few
days after making the statement
she found it impossible to crawl
out Of an invitation to play the
game. During the evening she
played in good fortune and held
numerous good hands and emerged
with good beginners score. She
then decided the game wasn't so
bad after all, and a few days later
gladly accepted another pinochle
invitation. At this game things
went beautifully, and the dealer
was so kind as to hand her a rec
ord score of 1900 in spades. Now
she declares the game is the clear
dope and that she is all for it.
Who wouldn't be after holding a
hand like that? =

WARE THE BUG,

The spring-like days are caus-
ing the sap to flow in golf clubs.
The local course has undergone
it's early spring massaging and is
in very fine shape, according to
Herman Schmidt, chairman of the
greens committee. A few of the
more hardy enthusiasts have al
ready limbered up their clubs and
have had couple of rounds. As
has been the custom each year,
some miscreant has driven car
around the green's. This year the
cuiprit has been detected and the
club officials are determining what
legal action is to be taken for the
wilful destruction Of property.

To continue his pose as liberal fighter against

capitalist wage slavery and exploitation.

NeV Leader 'Marxisrn"

THE Socialist New Leader in an editorial gives M
readers a short lesson this week In the funda-
mentals of Marxism-
And not only does It make itself ridiculous by dis
play Of ignorance, but displays It's hatred Of the revo-
lutionary overthrow Of capitalism by downright dis
tortion OF fundamental axiom OF Marxisn
Says the New Leader:
Glass interests occasionally result in . class
struggle. When the workers clearly understand that
they belong to a definite class In society with their
own interests to advance, they conscious
That Is they know how to light for their interests
diligently. The class struggle, supplemented by
basic knowledge Of It, is essential Socialist move
ment."
30 class interests result only Occasionally" in the
class STRUGGLED It is too bad for the "Marxsm" OF
the New Leader that Marx wrote of q class struggle
that exists not only occasionally" but which is the
most fundamental fact of modern capitalist society and
Of all previously existing societies
Marx described the class struggle as the inevitable
product Of the capitalist mode Of production struggle
which is carried on
e.. in uninterrupted now hidden, now open.
fight, fight Marx says that must end in the
revolutionary reconstruction society at large or the
common ruin of the contending classes -"
The New Leader talks of class consciousness as II
1t we're something that pasted on to the proetarat
from without and not Marx repeated endlessly,
the product Of the material development Of capitalist
society itself
The New Leader talks of the class struggle as If it
were something that the leaders of the Socialist Party
can accept or ignore as 1t peases them, that 1t
ignore Norman Thomas did before the crisis broke
or vote to recognize" the Socialist" leaders did
when the rehabilitation OF the masses forced them
pay lp-seryice to it.
The New Leader fails to mention that Marx also
heaped contempt upon those christian sentimental
socialists who recognized the class struggle without
at the same time recognizing the necessity for the
Enlistment Of firm revolutionary Party to lead the
oppressed masses to the revolutionary overthrow Of
capitalism and the establishment Of the Dictatorship
of the ProIetariat
And it is this that explains the significant reference
OF the New Leader to Intelligent" action on the part
OF the working class For, many times in the past
the New Leader has always used this word to justify
It's betrayal of the working class revolution.

Conc e. ais Imperialist
Plots to Unite in War
Against u. S. S. R.

ny j. n.
TROTZKY has spoken again This
i time this leading ideologist of the
international counter revolution
places himself beside the moderate"
imperialists Of Japan and cautions
the "swelled heads" that Japan is in
capable Of waging such large-scale
modern war as that which Japan Is,
nevertheless, preparing to wage
against the Soviet Union and against
the United States.
But further, and more important,
Trotsky fulf1lls the task given him by
his masters, of disarming the watch
fitness of the world proletariat for
the defense Of the country of Pro-
letarian Dictatorship, by assurance
that there does not really exist any
danger of armed intervention by jap
anese Imperialism against the U. s.
8. r.
We refer to Trotsky's latest con-
tribution (well-paidD, to that five
cent weekly OF lingo liberalism owned
by Bernard MacFadden, and known
as Liberty" Trotsky's article is
ACdtulCO III 1NONClllUCl IObll lcouC
Of Liberty" and is entitled: "Will
Japan Commit Suicide?", with the
significant subtitle, "By the Man
Who Once Led the Armies OF Soviet
Russia"
Nearly year and a half ago, when
the japanese Army, as today, was
then threatening the borders of So
Wet Siberia, Trotsky gave similar "as-
surances." He now repeats them. And
at the very moment when a dispatch
informs us Of eight Japanese war
planes daring to cross the border and
fly over Soviet territory. Let us ex-
anime Trotsky's article.
THE whole viewpoint Of the article
is thoroughly anti-working class
in character. Indeed, the Japanese
proletariat does not appear in the
picture at all, and It's revolutionary
struggles are not merely discounted
but totally ignored. How does he
start his article?
THE greatest human tragedy tem-
phasis mine-J.K), of the postwar
world Is the spectacle of Japan's ir-
resistible plunge toward the same
abyss which swallowed Czarist Rus
sia."
