Party Life
PARTY LTFE-IS IT'S USE FULLY
UNDERSTOOD?
BY J. A.

The need Of this column Is mss
5erial from the field, from comrades
who are in close touch with workers.
Another need in the column is ma
5erial for discussion on problems. II
is not necessary to hesitate TO write
because one has not finished
project. The problems that arise
and must be solved are in their ma
ture not isolated to any particuls=
section. Therefore they should O.
presented in this stage as wen as
accomplished projects.
The column Is not closed TO non
Party workers. They, too, can and
often do. have helpful and even
sharp analysis Of our Party work to
present.
Suggestions.
In line with these few ideas, l OK
fer some suggestions.
First: Comrades who are engaged
in work and feel doubtful about
their line as developed, etc, should
discuss it with other comrades con-
cerned.
Secondly: The points raised IN
articles should be answered by COM
rades who can answer them from
their own experiences.
Thirdly: The Party and the Party
press is always in need of material
telling about what workers are
thinking and saying. The comrades
should call meetings with non-Party
workers and have them give their
ideas on the Party. This material
should be answered by the comrades
present, i.e., questions raised, etc. All
OF 1t should be- sent to the column
for the general benefit of the Party
membership.
Fourth: The comrades engaged in
agrarian work should report all Of
their work. This material is Of ut
most Importance to the Party mem
bership at present.
I am sure that little thought and
more comrades will realize that they
can make use Of the Party Life col
uinn to excellent advantage. Let us
make it a real force in raising the
level Of our work.

include Poland is merely an attempt
to conceal the French nature of

THIRTY-SIX hours after a California
/ ex-convict killed man in Milwaukee,
the law had taken its course and the
Slayer was on his way to the Wisconsin
state prison to spend the rest Of his life
there.
This is something of a record and
ought to serve as an inspiration for all
other states and particularly for the
home state of the guilty party.
Even where pleas of guilty are made
California is slow in imposing prison
terms. There are delays of one sort or
another placidly accepted as part OF the
system, SO that days and sometimes
weeks elapse before the guilty party IS
placed in prison.
California should adopt policy OF
less consideration for the criminal and
more concern for the rights and protec-
tion of society.
Wisconsin is to be commended for the
effectiveness of its laws, which makes 1t

FIGHT THE KIDNAPERS

Two UGLY stories of kidnapinps are
i carried in the press of the nation to-
day
One IN particular the abduction Of
August Luer, an aged resident of Alton,
Illinois, Is of type that might well cause
fear IN every home in the country. The
abductors boldly invaded the Luer home
and cold-bloodedly seizing their aged
victim, who suffers from heart disease.
brutally beat his wife when she tried to
defend him
There is a heartlesSness about kidnap-
ers not exceeded by any other species of
criminal. One can find excuses for almost
any other type of criminal, but there is
none for the kidnaper.
The Lindbergh case last year aroused
the country to high pitch of excitement
over hdnapers and we'll meant threats
were made against those who indulge in
this sort Of crime. Some states tighten
ed their laws and the federal govern
ment enacted legislation to punish kid
naping.
Instead of diminishing abductions, the
threats and punitive legislation seem to
have increased them.
Granting that it is an extremely diff
icult job to detect and convict kidnapers,
in cases where they are apprehended
they should feel the full penalty of the
law. Nothing but prompt and effective
punishment will stamp out the kidnap-
er. Nor will it do to postpone fight
against them. 1t must be started now
and maintained without cessation.

In conformity with the stand
