AS II THINK l WRITE
40S -25th Ave.
(By Zantha Lois Rimpson)


When sorrow and trial, care and tenn

gain courage and renewed strength by
thinking of the past. Memory is the
cabinet of the imagination, the treas

Der Of thou hit A quick and retentive
memory both of words and things is
an invaluable treasure and may be had
by anyone who will take the necessary
pains. Educators sometimes in their
anxiety to secure a wide range of
studies fail to sufficiently impress on
their scholars minds the value of mem
DRY. I think memory is one of the most
valuable gifts God has bestowed upon
us and one of the most mysterious 1t
is not what one has learned, but what
he remembers and applies that makes
him wise. The mind must be trained
to think as well as remember. Who
is there whose heart is dead to the
memories of his childhood?
Old times steal upon as quietly making
us young again even amid the din of
business and the whirl of household
cares. The sadden brow clears for a
time as some well remembered scene
rushes through the mind, bringing back
the childhood home and the faces
which met around the daily board.
And we find the most degraded at
times marveling as to what led them
into sin. because the remembrance OF
happy home is theirs-a home Of pur-

counsel and upright example. And
the worldly woman who seems plunged
in the votex of fashionable pleasure

THE FRIENDLY HEARTS"
by Miss Jennye Ruth Scott

For long time it has been my de-
sire to have a club with a group Of
young girls, to interest them in higher
ideals, and conceptions of life. Re
Gently it came to me that l coul form
the club through the press.
1t is no extraordinary revelation,
only one of the desires, that has been
mine as a Social Service Recreatonal
Worker.
The Friendly Hearts is the name I
have chosen for two reasons. %
think youth should be taught in their
earlieas stage what constitutes true
friendship (2) I chose it because of
an inspiration I received. I'm sure
it will interest my readers, who are all
going to be my friends. When in At
lanta, Georgia, 1 was carried by fri
end to visit a missionary, Miss Martha
Drummer. who spent many years in
Africa. Now she is i'll and has been for
about eleven years. Is she always com
planning, worrying and full of frowns?
No, my dears she is always smiles and
full of interesting conversations. I'm
sure if she can be so optimistic after
such an illness, you dear girls, 50 vi
brant with health and blooming vitai-
ty, So much so that you too, can be a
Friendly Heart"
Our first talk girls is going to be on
Being Friends We are going to talk
a long time on this because it is such a
broad subject. Let us imagine we are
Campfire Girls, Girls Reserves or Girls
Scouts and are around the camp fire.
1 am in the midst and really taking to
you,
Really, I feel that am Our Scripture
lesson is Matt. 22:34-40 Be sure and
read it, now. People, Friendly Hearts,
are of more value than anything else
in the universe. I am a person and you
are persons. What a glory, and also
what a dignity that realization brings
US or it should make US to use this
gift of life perfectly. If people are
more precious than all else it then
means that the secrets of a truly sue
cessful use of the gift of life are bound
up in learning how to live our lives
right in relationship to the lives of
other people. We need not tax our
minds or burden our hearts by learn
ing a long list of things which we
must or must not do. The whole law
Of the life of Jesus tells us, is summed
up in the commandment
To love The People Who Came into
our lives; the Great Person God and
the other persons, our neighbors, who
are sharers with us in the gift Of life.
If we can learn how to live in rich and
glad friendship with God and other
people we have learned Jesus own
rule for abundant life. Now, Dear
Friendly Hearts The Problem Of
Friendship is the problem of Life It
self But we are going to solve it
aren't we? That's fine you said Yes
a hundred percent
Henry Churchill King says, "He who
has learned to love and only he-has
learned to live" Now, we must sing our
parting song which is as follows j,
1t will also be our theme song:
I'd like to be Pal Of yours, UNI and
a little bit more,
Id like to be little flower growing
at your door
I'd like to give you all have, UNI and
a little bit
Um and a little bit, UNI and little bit
more.

ers. Such is the nature Of capital
ism that its very own nature divides
society, renders impossible mass par
ticipation in planned economy, gen.
crates the forces Of civil disturbance,
etc. Out of this welter of contradic-
tons, out Of these competing inter-
ests, there will arise planned econ
omy, but only out of the ashes of the
old and meant for new, planned
society, the socialist society.
Private Property Must Be Abolished.
The precondition for the rise of a
planned economy is the abolition of
private economy, that is, Of the very
essence of the capitalist system. Com
rade Browder here points out that it
is on this point that the liberals and
the Marxist-Leninists part-"there Is
no road toward Socialism except the
road OF building up of the revolution
airy forces within capitalistic society,
which will overthrow the system"
The final proof that capitalism
cannot plan is that now, in its time
OF greatest need, it is not planning.
All of its so-called plans" are really
masked attacks against the working
class.
A national plan requires a strong
motive force behind it to put it into
effect. Only the working class can
provide this force. 1t is the histor-
ical role of the working class as the
class necessary to carry society for
ward to its next stage that offers the
sole promise of planned economic
order. Through all the talk of
planned economy the Soviet Union
stands like a landmark There, there
is . planned economy that does work
and the requisites for its success
are clear.
In this debate Comrade Browder
took some time to shoot to pieces the
typical bourgeois philosophy of the
day-pragmatism, or instrumental
Ism, showing Its absolute bankruptcy.
The criterion Of the bourgeoisie is,
Does it work?' Today that criterion
gives the wrong answer to the bour-
eSoioie' ihciT capitalism OOeS not
work; and our planned economy does
work. 1t is important to expose this
theological bankruptcy because "the
only effects" as Comrade Browder
states, of the influence of this ideo-
logical system upon the working class
is very poisonous one, to create
hesitation, indecision, hesitation
again, more indecision, wait and see,
wait and see" The workers cannot
wait-their lessons are before them,
the lessons of the victorious road the
workers and farmers of the Soviet
Union took, the lesson Of the historic
Hunger March--they must 60 ahead
in planned way toward planned
society.
This important pamphlet sells at
low price-one penny--and can be
obtained by every worker, and can
be spread widely. II must be, for 1t

that is Of utmost importance.

BY CONRAD KoMARowsKI

This is the speech made by Com
rade Browder in debate with George
Soule on January 10, 1888. In clear,
concise way he shows the relations
Of the class forces, the real meaning
Of planning under capitalism" the
nature Of capitalism, why planning is
impossible under capitalism, why it is
possible only for the working class to
establish a real planned economic or
der. The speech is 50 fundamental
a statement Of the case that 1t can
be used as text. .-.-.-
Capitalism today is not building or
contributing toward a planned So
ciety. but is organizing all OF its con-
tradictions on higher plane. The
utter bankruptcy Of German capital
ism should mean that capitalism, if
it can plan, should certainly be plan
ming now. But civil war-the civil
war Of the ruling class against the
workers--in Germany shows unmis-
takably that capitalism cannot save
itself by planning, that it must seek
its way out in war, in catastrophe.
Capitalism, Of course, is not seeking
catastrophe, but everything it does
brings it closer to its end.
Conrade Browder relates In a
simple, colorful way the various kinds
Of plans, their contradictions, and
their inability to solve the real prob
lem which he posits as: us it pos
sible under capitalism to establish a
planned economy, that Is, a stable
economy not subject to constantly re-
curing, constantly deepening crises2"
Capitalist Contradictions.
The answer is NO. Comrade Brow
der points out the real nature Of the
capitalist system, shearing from 1t all
the sophistry and demagogy which
hides its true nature, as q system of
private ownership, the very fabric OF

the prisoners as an example OF his
sympathy" Not being in front of
several thousand Negro workers as
he was in Arcadia Hall, the mayor
reduced his sympathy" to asking
where the arrested workers were, and
was told that they were in Jail.
The committee informed the mayor
that they were DESTROYS of being in
formed as to whether or not more
workers would be arrested for ac-
Invites in defense of the Scottsboro
boys. Bearing in mind, apparently,
the 10000 Negro and white work
ers in the New York May Day de-
monstration, O'Brien patted his belly
and said: II guarantee there will be
no interference with such street
meetings"
The committee Kept on trying to
get the mayors sympathy" down to
a material level whereby the Scots
boro boys would benefit. They asked
for trucks to convey marchers to
Washington. O'Brien stated II am
Using every truck available for trans
portation dirt for the sanitation de-
partment to Central Park. I>cannot
see my way clear to issuing a permit
for the collection of funds for the
defense Of these boys but will take
the matter under AMUSEMENT"
O'Brien stated in answer to the re-
quest for permit for tag days for
the Scottsboro defense.
Asked point blank by Fred Bieden-
kapp of the LID. if he could be
quoted as having no objection to COL
lections on New York streets for the
Scottsboro boys, O'Brien said: IT see
no reason why in order to raise the
sinews Of war for these boys there
should be any objection. Sympa-
thetic people will be glad to contr-
butte"
The committee then left the may
ors ONCE. 1t is clear that Mayor
OBrien and Tammany Hall are not
interested in the defense Of the
Scottsboro boys but are in every way
trying TO hinder the march. The po-
lice have tried to interfere with the
collection Of funds by the LID. and
the courts in Harlem have prol1i-
bited the use OF loudspeakers on the
streets to rally support for the march
on Washington this week.
