Pinned down for an answer. he pretended to recognize the insect, and gave 1t a Latin name. but his bluff was a miserable one.

booth at the Daily Worker Morning
Freiheit Bazaar must Immediately
make arrangements with the Ma
tional Bazaar Committee. read in
part release issued by the Ma
tional Bazaar Committee" an
nounces the Nationa Bazaar Com
mittee, offices at So East 18th St.
The offices will be open from 9:30
am. to 8 pm. every day.
Thus far definite arrangements
have been made for running 35
booths at the bazaar. The Bazaar
committee further reports that they
have attempted to have the mer-
chandise at the booths to be of the
very finest quality and to be well
disposed of at the very lowest
prices to workers and their
families.
There will be an unusual booth
at the bazaar of imported antiques
before seen in the history of the
bazaars. Also to be sold at the
bazaar will be a selection of 20
live pigeons contributed to aid the
Red Press. As a whole the bazaar
this year should prove to be the
greatest in the history of the Red
Press, and workers who are con-
templating buying clothing and
other merchandise should wait
until the bazaar for there they will
be able to buy at much less price
than outside,
The Rank and File Committee of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers have made arrangements with
the manufacturers for a shipment
of fine clothing to be sold at the
bazaar at very reasonable prices.
By doing their purchasing at the
bazaar, workers will be getting
clothes cheaper as well as help the
revolutionary press.
There will be a special Gents
Furnishing Booth containing mems
wear to be sold at prices as low as
those before the NRA initiation and
we ask all workers to wait for the
bazaar before buying their winter
supply of mems wear.
Space forbids to mention the
hundreds of other articles that will
be sold very reasonably at the
bazaar.
The bazaar will be held at the
main hall of Madison Square
Garden, Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, October 6, and 8. Workers
are urged to send contributions for
the bazaar.

HE'S FROM MISSOURI - YOU'LL
HAVE TO SHOW HIM:

One of our rural readers in Mis-
souri, sends us a carbon copy Of q
letter he mailed to the Pictorial Re-
view. 1t reads, in part:
Dear sirs:
I sometimes read articles from my
wife's Pictorial Review. So it hap
pened that I read Lady Evelyn Bal
tours article, "Plowboys of King
DOM in which she explains why the
agriculturalist will never see RED.
As I was born and reared in a
rural county, in common with most
people of my class I enjoy learning
of the conditions prevailing in rural
sections of foreign countries. When
I read of the happy conditions pre-
vailing on those large private farms
in England I could not escape the
feeling that those rural people over
there were afflicted with some form
Of Idiocy I thought perhaps 7
was wrong so submitted the
article to some of my country as
sociates and they said it cast the
same spell over them.
The article is so full OF condeScen-
sion that I began to think she would
burst right out with discussion
about the divine rights and respon-
sibilities of the big landlord :. She
dwelt in considerable length upon
the philanthropic nature of the
traders and petty merchants over
there. Their lack of comrnercialisr
is very touching o..
1 was shocked indeed to learn that
farms privately owned were as large
as two thousand acres in a country
so small as England That seems
to me to be a crime.
am not a Communist and I enjoy
rural life, but if it ever came to l1v-
ing on the big farm Of a landlord
like Lady Baltour I would much pre-
fer to live on a Red Communal Farm.
r. G. Max.
AS regards this letter, I feel moved
to comment that if, as have heard,
the policy of the ruling class is to
divide and rule Lady Balfour has
succeeded most beautifully in effect
ing split between the American
and English farmers; here she has
the American thinking his English
contemporaries are just a flock of
ptonies. lady Balfour makes the
bricks and the Pictorial Review
throws them). We think her article
is just another thick slice of baloney
anyway; perhaps she only wishes that
those English workers we're as docile
as she paints them. I'd bet a nice
fresh cocoanut cream pie to half
cup of last WEEKS coffee that she
goes over there and spreads the same
impression about the American farm
ers among the English.
Perhaps Com Max is a shade
pinker than he suspects-and well be
seeing him one of these days on a
fine well-managed American Com
munal Farm. Cheerio! I have a
suspicion the mortgage sharks will
never take Com. Max's farm away
from him without helluva battle.

He is at the same time the chairman
of the Board that must make all de-
cisions collectively" He is the chair
man of the executive committee Of
the capitalist class. That is what
the job OF President of the United
States means.
How childish it is to think that
individual Roosevelt can make the
slightest difference in regard to the
policies of government!
The government, with Roosevelt at
t'9e te-d. is trying to save the cap
italist system To save the system
makes necessary to put the burdens
of the crisis upon the workers, farm
ers, and middle classes. They fol-
low the, class logic of their class
position.
In order to improve the situation
of the masses, of the workers and
farmers and impoverished middle
classes 1t is necessary to start out
from the position, not of saving the
capitalist system, but of changing the
system, of moving toward substituting
for it a socialist system.
| Such an issue is above all ques-
tions OF personal virtue or lack
it. 1t is class issue. Roosevelt
bad for the workers because he is IL
1eaderhof the capitalist class in its
attacks upon the working class.
To be friend of the working
class in any real-that is, political
sense, requires to be against the sys-
tenn of private ownership OF the
means of production by the capital
ist class. 1t requires to build up the
organized power of the working class
in struggle against the capitalist
class. 1t requires helping the work
ing class to take governmental power
out of the hands Of the capitalists.
and establishing Workers Govern
ment, which takes the means OF pro-
duction, away from the capitalists and
organizes them on a new socialist
basis, as the common property OF all.

our action we will expose the fake
leadership and have real unity
of the working class.-M. ]. Schapp,
Editors Reply;
1t was correct to propose a united
struggle for relief. This propose,
should have been made openly tc
the members of the Unemployed
League of Ohio. When they refused
our offer of United Action, by nc
means should we abandon our efforts
to set up a United Front. On the
contrary, we should expose the policy
of these leaders as one weakening
the efforts of the workers to carry
on effective struggle and We should
appeal to the workers, members OF
the Unemployed Leagues and Coun-
ellis, as we'll as the workers organ
lied in either body to unite for the
energetic conduct of the strike, in
Guiding mass picketing. But our every
act, our policy should be to make
clear to the workers in the Unem-
ployed League that we are the fight
ers for the united front and that
it is these reformist leaders who
hamper the development of the
united front-leaders who repeatedly
accept a united front in words, but
will refuse to develop the united front
in action. And even if we do not
Immediately realize the united front
even with the workers due To the
influence of these leaders. we should
continue to support the action, actual
struggle of the workers. and our
comrades should be modified 10 par
ticipate in the struggle on the picket
line and in each effort of these work
ers to win their strike,
In the course of our work on the
picket line, we should expose every
effort of the refor1nist leaders to sell
out the strike. doing it, however, in
such a simple, clear, convincing man
ner, that we will win the confidence
OF the workers and will be able to
establish our leadership as against
that of the reforrnist leaders.
If your letter correctly portrays the
attitude of some of our local COM
rades, namely. that the united front
is rejected and that we should now
stay away, then such an attitude is
wrong. We can never afford to sep
arate ourselves from the workers, re-
gardless of how difficult it may be
at times to stay with the workers.

to persuade them to REDUCE PRO
