Ford Profits Lead
To Big BreadlineS
By an Auto Worker Correspondent

By an Auto Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich,r- Henry the
First Of Dearborn drew a half mil
lion people to this city of Detroit
and exploited them as long as there
were profits to be made.
But what does he do for them
now? He's forgotten them because
his markets are gone and there is
no more profits to be gotten from
them.
Now this city has long lines at
welfare stations, bread lines, young
men in the crazy house and in d.
lapidated factory buildings, get
ting few crumbs thrown to them.
Ford's exposition of progress is
on in Detroit, and there are humid
reds of thousands Of dollars spent
for this.

happened TO be quite different KIND
of criticism than is explained by the
agitprop of Unit 809 At the mem
bership meeting, which was held
atout two months after the section
conference. we disc;--las al the Open
Letter 1 pointed out quite sharply
that Section 8 as a whole has not
made q turn in its work. There were
all the signs that We repeat the same
old story about setting down and
making lengthy pans and promises
instead of carrying on the everyday
Wax for builc.rly the Pay.
What was the main point in this
criticism? The main key question
was that we did not turn our forces
towards the shops as decided at the
glazing examples that, for instance,
when the Majestic Radio Co. closed
its factory temporarily, the ALL
people we're quick enough to organize
meeting of the shop workers, but
our comrades in the section did not
mobilize our forces to come to this
meeting to counterfeit the ALL.
takers. When one of our comrades
tried to take the floor at this meeting,
there was not a single comrade in the
hall to support him and he was eject
ed from the hall. This SHOWS that
We did not work properly i'll the shop.
These are the main weaknesses in
our work which have to be exposed
and criticised even if it hurts" some
of our comrades who have not as yet
overcome their "individualist ten
dencies"-if am permitted to quote
comrade Agitprop of 300.
The second main point in my crit
icism at this meeting was the poor
organization of the membership
meeting. In the section, where We
have nearly $50 members on the list,
there were only 26 comrades present
sc the meeting. 1t was pointed ont
meeting Of the section and not a
membership needing.
After pointing out our main short
comings and explaining how we
should try to overcome these weak
nesses, I mentioned the loose con-
nections between the units and the
section committee and the district. In
regard to the plan of Unit 300
mentioned in rather mild manner,
that the plan wasInot the kind of plan
that we need after the Open Letter.
mentioned that the original plan
drafted by the unit was merely let
ter of lengthy promises" We do
not need, in my opinion, promises"
in our plans. Of course, the pledges
on this or that single question are
all right, but in the plan of action
it is quite a different thing. On the
other hand the unit plan seemed to
he entirely too long. I am of the
oklnion That our plan of work in the
units, sections and districts as well
should be so simple and shortly form
ulated that the workers can easily
grasp the points.
However, the comrade from Unit
300 exaggel ates when he Wrtte:s thai
tried to ridicule the plan Of worb
o: his unit. I did not use any ex-
preston that could have given any
one the feeling that the unit plan
was a 'long rigamarole" or that this
plan was useless" The main point
in the criticism was that we should
have more action, instead Of drown
ing ourselves with six months plans,
which in most cases have remained

Trickery Breaks
Code Hours and
Wage Promises
DIV a Metal worker CORRESPONDENT.


NEWARK, N. il am mechanic
in the plant Of M, in Orange. For
some time / have had a desire to
write you on the great and important
improvement in our paper, and now
that l have a bit of news l am also
taking the opportunity to congratu-
late you and your fellow workers in
the effort to keep abreast of the
growing revolutionary feeling of the
workers and intellectuals.
We are supposed to be working
under the N.R.A. at this plant, but the
few meaningless concessions which
we workers were to have obtained
from the Blue Bird have been taken
away by use of certain loopholes de-
liberately written into the bosses code.
The code says 40 hours per week,
but we are working 10. Oh yes, 1t
is repair work or maintenance work,
they say. 40c is the minimum wage
per hour. But more 1oopholes,
and we are paid anywhere from 20
to S8c.
Now here is something quite signi-
f1cant, especially at this time. This
company is very patriotic and during
the last great slaughter of workers
they had a nice band to play for the
new cannon fodder, and now they
have asked the old members of the
band to tune UP. Rehearsals start
again.
From whence comes this news; who
has asked them TO organize band
and why a band ask you? And at
this time. Looks to me like the great
war propaganda machine is working
with great haste leaving nothing I'M
done, uniting all its forces, schools,
churches, bosses, papers, radio, movies,
meetings of patriotic orders to stir up
again that scourge of human life.

BUILDING THE DAILY WORKER.
Hibbing, MINI.
Comrade Editor:
/ will tell you what We have done
so far to build the Daily Worker. We
got bundle of 10 few weeks ago
and we went out and tried to get
subs, and the result was that in three
days we had to enlarge the bundle
order to 20, and now We have all Of
those out. We have a committee in
charge that sees to it that the paper
is delivered properly, and that the
subs do not have a chance to expire.
1t is important that we give the
Daily Worker more attention as you
can easily see from the fact that this
is the only town that We have actu-
ally made any attempts to get house
to house route. I can see that there
is nothing hard about selling the
Daily Worker on the streets or build
ing these routes. 1t is only ques-
ton where we have to stop all the
useless palaver and go out and do
some real work.

Editor Daily Worker:
! would be grateful if you would
settle dispute between two workers.
Comare A says that nationalism and
chauvinism are one and the same
thing Comrade B says that these
two terms apply to two different
things
Will you be good enough to give us
an explanation of these two terms
through the columns of the Daily
Wor6er?
Answer: Conrade A is not correct.
1t is necessary to differentiate be-
tween nationaism and chauvinism.
Chauyinism is already q particular
kind Of nationalisIn-a reactionary
nationalism, the expression of the de-
termination Of one people to lord it
over another people, the expression
of the aim OF one people to crush
another people.
The nationalism Of an oppressed
people that is struggling to enamel
Sate itself from the oppression of an
expressing nation is also nationalism,
but is is an historically progressive
nationalism. It cannot be termed
chauvinism. which in its essence is
The expression of the militant-cap-
italist aggression: the fight for new
markets, for colonies, for the enslave-
ment of the colonial peoples, and for
The super exploitation and oppression
Of national minorities living within
the territorial confines of the i'm
perialist nation. It is invariably &C

riority and arouse5 race hatred and

CAMDEN, N. J.-At the Victor r.
c. A, plant in Camden, where
slave, the company officials have ap-
piled a psychological principle to pro-
mote loyalty and a fight for dear
old Victor" spirit There has been
formed bowling league composed
of teams representing various plant
departments. A keen but friendly
rivalry has sprung up in the race
for the championship. There is also
a weekly paper published by the
company and distributed to every
one in the plant, dealing with the
bowling league. 1t contains personal
comments Of the players and data
concerning the standing Of the teams.
The workers now have something
Of live interest to discuss with each
other, and so their piece work, which
is so dull and tiresonle, becomes less
distasteful to them, resulting in their
working more conscientiously and eff
ficiently.
The workers however, must bear
in mind that the bowling galIerys
are not donated free by the COM
pany, but are instead available to
only those workers who can pay the
charge, which is IS cents for about
two hours Of play
If a vicious speed-up system low
wages, frequent lay-offs, stool pigeons
and a company union are not suffi-
Gent reasons for a strike to better
our working conditions, then Victor's
is an ideal company to work for.

Pains Following Eating of Citrus
Fruit

Mrs. Adelaide P.-You are probably
sensitive to citrus fruit and what you
probably feel after eating oranges Or
lemons are the symptoms of hives.
Your condition is comparatively rare,
but cases are seen from time to time
There are people who are even SEN
sitive to milk. The only thing you
can do is give up eating the above
fruits, unless you want to be "de5ensi-
tized," which Is costly procedure.
Did you try getting used to the fruits
by diluting the juice? Suppose you
begin by taking half a teaspoonful
of orange juice in glass of water
and see whether you could not grad
ually increase the amount, without
experiencing any pain?

of the American policy. League COM
mentators asserted the American doc
trine was historic development, in
world history.
These commentators pointed out that
America hinges her abandonment Of
neutrality rights upon her agreement
with the identification of an aggressor,
but they emphasized that if an aggres-
sor is a nation sending troops to the
soil of another nation, then it should
be easy to find universal agreement as
to who is responsible for aggression.
Sir John Simon, the British foreign
secretary, paid tribute to the speech OF
Mr. Davis.
II wish, without any delay" he said,
ito express warm and sincere apprecla-
tion to Mr.. Davis and to the United
States for the contributions made to our
work."
Interpretation of Speech.
Practically, the American doctrine.
although negative in form, means that
the United States will not trade with an
aggressor nation or protect its nationals
who are doing so, according to the IN
terpretation given the Davis speech
here.
In this connection it was said that
the main reason for the collapse OF the
famous Geneva protocol of 1924, which
sought to effect an all-round 1nterna-
tional guarantee of security, was that
Britain refused to have its fleet run the
risk of difficulty with the American feet
If the United States insisted on rights
of neutrality.
This danger is now potentially re-
moved, Geneva commentators said, as
serting that they understood the WASH
ington Government would respect any
blockade declared by League powers
against an aggressor.
Appreciation was heard In the lobbies
of Washington's definition of an aggres-
sor as reasonable, simple and clear.
Turns to Security.
Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Bon-
cour of France, following the British
foreign secretary, likewise voiced appre-
citation of American contributions. He
said the time now had come to consider
the disarmament convention chapters
dealing with international security and
regional pacts providing assistance for
country which is the victim OF
aggression.
Arthur Henderson, chairman of the
conference, embodied M. Paul -Boncour's
suggestion in a proposal that the con-
ference Immediately concentrate on part
one of the convention, dealing with
security.
Mr.. Davis demurred. He thought the
European nations might get together
to see what they could do in the
organization of security. with the con-
ference discussing armed forces mean
while. The conference voted to allow
the Steering Committee to decide the
procedure and adjourned until to-
morrow.
