NEW YORK.--Arriving from a
trip to the U.S.S.R., I walked into a
strike action brewing in my union,
the American Radio Telegraphists
Association. an organization OF ma
rine wireless operators. In the
special strike meeting being held
there appeared three represen-
tatiyes of the Marine Transport
Workers who had responded to an
appeal for support in the impending
strike. The spokesman of the M. T.
w. delegation got up and made a
brilliant and well stated address to
the operators. In the course of his
speech he pledged the support of the
M. 7. W., but evidently couldn't re-
sist taking occasion to deliver an
open warning to the operators against
the Marine Workers Industrial Union
by announcing that the M. w. I. U.
was "a branch Of the Communist
Party" and also that you must be
careful lest this organization use you
for political aims, as they viii try to
do"
Immediately following this speech,
I was called to address the meeting
and report on conditions of wireless
men on Soviet ships which l had
visited in the u. S. S. r. as a duly
authorized American delegate of the
American operators union. I in
formed the meeting that whereas in
the U. S. A. radio operators are now
often paid little more than firemen
Or deckboys, and are forced to work
II hours a day on virtually all pas
senger ships, in the U. S. S. r. the
shipboard radio men stand only two
three-hour watches a day and are
paid on a basis fully equal to and
sometimes above that of anybody on
the ship with the exception of the
commander.
From direct observation ] had
found also that on Soviet ships even
the most unskilled crew members
were not placed more than two men
to a room, with conyeniences and

In Boston the longshoremen organ
lied in the LILA. rejected the agree
nent proposed by the LILA. officials
For over a. month they carried
through a strike on the job in connec-
ton with one of their demands. The
comrades on the waterfront did not
know how to react to the situation.
Although 1t was reported to Party
committee meetings several times no
serious attention was given 1t. 1t
was only when the struggle had be-
come so effective and serious that 1t
became the object of leading edi-
torials in the capitalist papers that
the situation was given consideration
and policy worked out. In other
words, it took lis exactly one month
to react to an issue around which
the workers wanted to struggle.
This article is not intended to be
a thorough analysis of the strikes
that are mentioned. Neither is it in
tended to convey the idea that mis-
takes were not made by the COM
rades directly involved In the work
and that these comrades do not bear
a major responsibility for the work Of
the Party committees in these ports.
What we must concentrate our at
tention upon is that the facts brought
forward reflect complete isolation
OF the Party committees from the
work on the waterfront and con-
sequent lack of political guidance to
the work and failure to MOBILIZE the
necessary forces and support that
the situation demanded. And II these
things happen during times of a
strike, 1t is easy to understand that
there is little serious attention given
to the daily systematic work that is
necessary to win firm contact with
these workers in preparation for
struggles.
What is the reason for this? Or
better still. who is responsible for the
work in the decisive industries?
Who Is Responsible Tor Our
WeakneSsg
The representative OF the District
Bureau In Philadelphia, who is as
signed TO the waterfront and is DO
litically responsible for the work to
the bureau, put the question in the
following manner at recent meet
ing. He admitted that he observed
the failure to carry out decisions.
after the longshoremen's strike and
the liquidation of our activities.
What had he done about 1t? Nothing.
Why? His excuse was that the lead
ing cosnrade of the marine fraction
was in charge, was responsible and
the initiative should come first from
him. But it is just the opposite. If
the marine comrades are weak then
1t Is all the more necessary that ini-
tiative be shown by bureau members
In leading and helping the comrades
in the fractions to solve their prob
lens.
Thus this comrades idea is that
work In concentration industries is
kind Of independent from the gen.
eral work Of the Party, that 1t is of
no particular concern and RESPONSE
bility to the leading committees of
the Party. He certainly cid not have
the idea that the leading committees
Of the Party must accept the respon-
sibility OF guiding and checking up
the work in the concentration indus
tries. Yet the open letter very clearly
states: "The entire work Of the Party
and the best forces of the Party must
be directed first to building up and
consolidating the Party and reyolu-

MILITANT STUDENT EXPELLED

Dear Editor: Philadelphia, Pa
This is a sample of American free
dom of speech. Irving Katz, a stu
dent of the South Philadelphia High
School, was expelled for wanting to
lead in a discussion in school club
on 1.-THE Bloody Reign of Hitler"
The principal of the school was re-
sponsible for this dishonorable act.
Many students Of the school pro-
tested vehemently but to no avail.
Boys are prohibited from expressing
their ideas freely. However, Irving is
devoting his time in fighting for the
struggle against the ruling class, and
is urging all to follow suit. He won
many supporters.
Many poor boys, in dire circum-
stances, are beginning to realize the
cause of their never ending plight.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS



II. Bit is impossible to advise you
in this manner without a physical ex-
animation. Your doctors suggestion
about having child might be good
one. At the same time you may be
suffering from anemia. Did he ex-
anime your blood? The method of
prevention that you are using GER
tainly aggravates your nervousness.
Neurasthenia
A Worker.-There Is no doubt in
our mind that you have no organic
defect of either the heart or the
stomach. You are probably suffer-
ing from neurasthenia brought about
by excessive mental and physical
work. Our advice is to stop running
around from one doctor to another
and also TO stop your visits to the
clinic. The milky" liquid which you
observed is prostate fluid which is
overlooking due to your sexual con-
Thence. A man OF Is, who abstains
for six months, Is liable to show signs
Of nervousness, even II he is other
wise normal.
Dandruff and Falling Hair
Sol b., Clevcland.--If you consult
the back numbers of the Daily
Worker, you will find several articles
on the subject which may be Of in
terest to you.

refrain from smoking. You will find
that If you gave up smoking for
sufficiently long time that the red
ness, as well as the inflammation Of

ing the unsecured Indebtedness Of
the Government Of the United
States.
I cannot too strongly urge upon
the Congress the clear necessity
for immediate action. A continu-
alton of the strangulation Of bank
ing facilities is unthinkable. The
passage OF the proposed legislation
will end this condition and, trust.
within a short space of time will
result in q resumption Of business
activities.
In addition, 1T is my belief that
this legislation will not only lift
Immediately all unwarranted doubts
and suspicious in regard to banks
which are 100 per cent sound, but
will also mark the beginning Of a
new relationship between the banks
and the people Of this country.
The members of the new Congress
will realize, I am confident, the grave
responsibility which lies upon me
and upon them.
In the short space of five days 1t
Is impossible for US to formulate
completed measures to prevent the
recurrence of the evils of the past.
This does not and should not, how
ever, justify any delay in accom-
plishing this first step.
At an early moment I shall re-
quest Of the Congress two other
measures which regard as Of i'm
mediate urgency. With action taken
thereon, we can proceed to the con-
sideration Of a rounded program Of
national restoration.

CONGRESS TO GET
NEW D. c. BUDGET
Recommendations Also to Be
Made on Independent
Offices Bill.

New budget recommendations both
for the District appropriation bill,
which failed because the House refused
to approve the conference agreement,
and the independent Offices appropria-
ton bill, which was given a pocket
veto b. President Hoover. will be sub
mitted to Congress at this session, &C
cording to Representative Buchanan,
Democrat, Of Texas. Under the seniority
rule. Buchanan becomes chairman of
the Appropriations Committee.
It is anticipated that President
Roosevelt under the extraordinary
powers given him by Congress to re-
organize the Government establish
ment and to cut of the various
agencies, will do away with a number
of independent Offices for which ap-
preparations were included in the last
bill.
If such cuts are shown in the budget
recommendations it is confidently pre-
dicted that this will signal the first big
light in the House as to whether the
absolute authority granted to the Presi-
dent will be supported by the vote in
Congress.
Chairman Buchanan said he did not
expect the Appropriations Committee
to start work for some time on either
OF the hold-over appropriation bills
