America During the Crisis
Through the Confused Eyes
of a Nation Journalist
Hallgren Sees Seeds of Revolt Sprouting
Only in the Brains of the Petty Bourgeoisie"

ganized, through sinking the party
in the decisive strata of the workers
in the basic industries, not for coup
d'etat, but for a mass revolutionary
struggle which will lead to the over
throw of capitalism when the revo-
lutionary situation is natured.
Winds Up In Pessimism
In final desperation, like true
ty-bourgeois, who tomorrow is just
as likely to fling himself into the
ranks of the Fascists Gas his associate
on "The Nation" Anderson, is already
doing, Hallgren winds up In the
swamp of pessimism.
IF no party is organized or pre-
pared for coup d. etat (and none is
today, capitalism will be left free
to try other ways of saving itself
when Fascism or state absolutism
fails it. Or else, as the Spenglerians
seem to believe, the whole machine
age may collapse. For while the CAPT.
talist crisis is inevitable, the prole-
tartan revolution is not"
Only what is here, the capitalist
crisis, is inevitable to Hallgren. But
the proletarisn revolution which does
not cross the historical stage in the
form of a drama leading to the last
act, because it temporarily retreats
zig-zags, but ever advances, is natu-
rally not inevitable to one who sees
the seeds of revolt sprouting only in
the brains of the petty bourgeoisie.

Vet Takes Crack
at Golden Hour"
Appeal for Funds
By JOHN KRYzAK

NEW YORK-Yesterday I received
some junk from Charlie Coughlin
about his Shrine of the Little
Flower" ! Immediately answered
telling him how I saw three young
soldiers on one hill near st. Twin,
France. One with half of his head
blown off by a shrapnel, holding a
rosary in his hand; another with a
bullet hole on his right side, holding
a small prayer book; the third where
a shrapnel went right through his
body, holding a rosary. I asked him
where God was while they were
praying.
I also told him about my wife's
father, who spent 40 years in one
coal mine Shaving like a mule. This
was in the Washington mine at
Plymouth, Pa. He was and is very
religious. Attended church with his
wife every Sunday and holiday. He
always was very liberal in giving to
the collection box and extra liberal
in donating to special church af-
fairs.
At the present time they are build
ing a grotto in the church ground
or graveyard, and he is begging his
children to donate, as hundreds
there are doing, which is nothing but
a money -making racket. And since
this crisis and the bunk the priests
told them about how good man
Roosevelt is, they are going hungry
and donating their last pennies
Not only donating, but attending
church in greater herds than ever
before.
Several years ago this man was
caught in black damp gas in the
mine and is an invalid today. He
has an altar at home, where he prays
morning, noon and night. I asked
Coughlin, if there is a God why
should this Woodworking, religious
man suffer like he is. Where is that
God. Is he on vacation?
I told him that religion was moth
ing but opium to keep the people
down. also told him that if he
gives us true facts over the radio,
during his Golden Hour" why not
give us the right way out of this
crisis?

Workers School Head Calls
for Aid to Harlem School
Markoff, from Sick-Bed in Hospital, Urges
Party to Take Lead in New Venture

NEW YORK.-From his sickbed at
the Post Graduate Hospital, where he
is confined following an operation for
a severe stomach-ailment, A. Markoff,
director of the Workers School, So
e. 18th st., sent the following letter
to the workers of Harlem:
- Comrades of Section 4: The Harlem
Branch of the Workers School, has
been definitely established and has
been open for registration for more

Already, in order to equip the school,

Of the theory Of Marxism -Leninism.
The School, however, cannot be a
success unless the members of Sec
ton 4 are solidly behind it. We can
not expect that students will flock to
the School from nowhere. The stu
dents must come from the Units of

Workers School Makes
Changes in Political
Economy Course

NEW YORK. = The Workers
School, which is now taking regis
tration for the Fall Term, has
made some important changes in
it's curriculum with a view to giving
the students more thorough train
ing. One of the most important
changes has been made in the
courses in Political Economy, which
have been rearranged to cover the
subject in three terms of three
months each, covering the ground
from the meaning of a commodity
and the creation of surplus value
through the MARKHAM Theory of
Crisis, and the present General
Crisis of Capitalism. A special fea-
ture is the fact that throughout
the entire course a continual com
parison is made between the cap
italist economy and the Socialist
economy now being built in the
Soviet Union.
Several new and competent in
structors have been added to the
Economics Department, and Com
rade Harry Cannes, who has been
out of the school for the past two
years, has returned to teach the
third term of the course in Political
Economy.
Students who wish to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to get a
thorough grounding in MARKHAM
Economics should register imme-
diately at the Workers School Of
flee, Room 301, IS East 18th St.,
as the number of students per-
mitted in each class is limited.

I'D socialism in their country; they
are doing this of their own free will
and with enthusiasm we are con-
WINGED that these, our comrades OF
the Soviet Union, are a peaceable
nation with no hostile intentions to-
wards any other land. y "s'ss
Therefore, we will not tolerate any
attempt on the part Of any capital
ist nation or groups of nations to
attack these comrades. We pledge
that in the event of any act of war
against the Soviet Union, no matter
what the pretext, we will imnle-
diately strike, and call upon our
fellow marine workers to do likewise.
IF conscripted into the array or
navy, we will not use those weapons
against our Russian brothers.. but
against our real enemies, the capital
lists and their laclseys. .o

greater today than ever, because the
CAPITALISTS haven't been able to ex-

CORMLEY VS GOSS
 ELECTION CONTEST
Printed Copies of Hearing Now Available in
 Waterbury
3S4 PAGE BOOK

Copies of the printed testimony of the contested election case of Attorney Martin E. Gormley of Naugatuck versus Congressman Edward w. Goss of Waterbury have reached this city. The testi- mony finely printed required SS4 pages to record. The records bear the seal of Mrs Ethel Eccles Mist. superior court stenographer. and D. Emmet Shea, judge of the pro- bate court of Naugatuck. who pre- sided at the various hearings held here, in Torrington and Nauga- tuck.
 While it is reported that the cases are moving rapidly toward committee consideration there is some doubt as to whether de- cision will be reached during the special session.
 Attorney Gormley's friends are making every endeavor to obtain a ruling before congress adjourns. Connecticut has another contest ed case of interest that of Will liam c. Fox of New London versus Congressman William l.. Higgins of South Conventry.
 The New London case, however, failed to excite the statewide at tention as the Gromley-Gos hear ing. The names of over 200 wit nesses are recorded in the index of the copies received. The ques- ton and answer of every witness is given. It is an interesting docu- ment to read over.

FRENCH HONOR
 U. s. SCULPTOR

Paris (UP)-Paul Bartlett, American sculptor. whose monu-
 ment of Lafayette. here, was erected through the contributions of American school children, and Frederic Bartholdi, who created the Statue of Liberty, which he finished in 1883, have become the inspiration for a memorial in their honor.
 Inauguration of the memorial will coincide with the centenary of Bartholdi's birth this year. He died in 1904. one of the most fa- nous of 18th century artists. Many of the designs made by the Frenchman for the Statue of Liberty are still in his studio in the Rue de Commandeur. and a replica in miniature of the huge monument on Bedloe's Island stands on the Pont de Grenelle.
 Mrs Paul Bartlett, widow of the American sculptor, is handling the details of the memorial. and 1t is understood that the French government has given Its patron- age to the foundation despite the fact that no official announce men thus yet been made.

color from July until frost and that
 useful plant will quit if allowed to
 go to seed.
 The average perennial has rela-
 lively brief blooming season, two
 weeks being a fairly long period. The chief skill in arranging pe-
 rennial border consists in assemb- ling colonies of plants that will give
 a consecutive show of bloom at all seasons of the year without leav- ing wide bare stretches at any time.
 This can be done only by gaining an understanding of the blooming habits of the plants used. Another
 subject that should be studied is
 the height of the plants as it would 1 be manifestly foolish to plant a
 colony of tall growing plants in | front of a low growing colony so | that the latter would be hidden. With these two factors in hand it | is a simple matter to plant seeds | this spring sufficient to furnish q | fine hardy border. Perennial seed l should be sown as early as the an- nuals, as the longer period of growth the plants have, the better | they will be to bloom next year, as l nearly all perennials must have a
 year of growth before they bloom.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-04

The perennial border is now an established feature of the home grounds. Nothing is more beau tiful or satisfying than when well done and nothing requires more garden skill and Judgment to do we'll than a good hardy border. It looks easy. it is true. but too often 1t is merely a catch-all, a collection of plants planted helter skeltcr without an eye to effect, sequence of bloom or height.
 A perennial border may be raised from seed in single sea- son without much trouble, the chief work being that of sowing the seeds and transplanting the seed lings into permanent quarters. A few perennials such as peonies. irises, the day lilies, indispensable in q border, must be bought as plants, although all may be raised from seed. but it will take several years to do it.
 Tn the first place. it is useless to expect q perennial border to be q sheet of bloom from end to end tho entire season. Few perennials bloom all summer. The gaillardia is about the only one which can be relied upon to give a fine show of
