Mrs. Wharton

Although some of the material in Human Nature" has been seen be- fore, Mrs. Wharton's new book will be welcomed by that very large following that has been hers for years.
 The book leads off with Her Son" a novelette, in the very best Wharton vein, full of subtly dram atic cross currents and accurate, civilized perception of human prob lens. There follow four shorter pieces quite worthy of the novel, cite, not too demanding for read ing in odd moments, and not too light for less hurried considera- tion
 E. Barrington's latest perform anca weighs up much the same which is to say that in "The Great Romantic this practiced writer contrives to present, with remark able feeling for the charm of the Restoration period In England, ar emotional history of one Samuel Pepys.
 There has been an evident and sincere effort to recapture the es- sence of that history in the form of novelized biography. Whether The Great Romantic" does it any better than Pepys himself did il is a matter for argument.
 Certainly "The Great Romantic is simplification of value to those who have not time to trace out allusions and supply historic backgraund for the incidents oi Pepys' own narrative.

Murders Afoot

Murders AfoOt
 The fayorite haunt of mystery fans may now be investigated at first hand in book by Arthur Fowler Neil who should know Scotland Yard if anyone does. For years he was superintendent of the criminal investigations department and naturally his Man Hunters of Scotland Yard" deals with that phase of the organizations work.
 Those who like to exhume an- cient sensations will be interested to know that MT. Neil has a new solution for the Jack the Ripper" murders in England and the United States.
 Late murder mysteries of a less factual sort include an omnibus of the Charlie Chan stories issued as Celebrated Cases of Charlie Chan; Diplomats Death in the Senate" and "The Tragedy of E." in which Barnaby Ross reaches the end of the alphabet.

of 91 miles.
 The conclusions and recommen- dations of the commission are given here for the benefit of those who may not see the report
 l. The highway is feasible pro- ject and can be built at a reason able cost, which should not exceed S2,OOO,000 for the Alaska section. and $12,OO0,0OO for the Canadian section.
 ?. If the project is adopted, the stage-construction process is Ia vored. That is to say, the initial standard should be no higher than is required for the estimated traffic. and improvements to higher stand ards would be made as demanded by traffic and as funds become avail able.
 5. Financing is primarily the re- sponsibility of each of the nations concerned for the section of the road within it's own jurisdiction, and any departure from this principle should be covered by international agreement. The Alaska section of the road should be financed in about the same ratio between federal and local funds as obtains under the Federal Highway Act in the sparsely settled states, resulting probably in about 90 per cent of the cost of construc- tion paid by the Federal Govern ment.
 Open New Alaska Territory
 4. There are two general routes for the northern end of the highway, either of which would serve to open new Alaskan territory of impor- tance and contribute to the general development The Dawson-Fairbanks route possesses the advantage of more comprehensive service to Yukon Territory and the Fortymile and Chicken Creek mining areas in Alaska. The Whitehorse-Kluane Lake-G route in- wolves less new road construction in Alaska, saves several hundred miles of new construction, and also ser yes important mining territory in Alaska Both routes are acceptable from the American viewpoint.

THE MUKLUK TRAIL From DELEGATE DMoNDs OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. c.
 (By E. [. BartletD

WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. B. The report of the American section of the International Highway Com. mission has been printed and re- leased. As the report was made directly to the President, it was necessary for the delegate to secure the personal approval of the chief executive for immediate public distribution.
 The report is a favorable one.
 Its most important conclusions from the standpoint of friends ol the highway, probably are:
 1. The commission declares the highway project to be a feasible one
 ?. The commission urges an early start of construction of the Fair banks-Dawson section, irrespective of the highway as an entity.
 Would Hasten Construction
 This last recommendation has long been urged by highway pro- ponents. their argument being that building of a road from Fairbanks to Dawson would be convincing proof of the benefits of road through to the States and would act to hasten construction of other sections of the road.
 The total length of the highway from Seattle to Fairbanks would be 2,256 miles. By no means does that mean there is that much construc- tion to be accomplished. Already 1,073 miles of road are built, leav- ing 1,1S3 to be finished
 There already is in use, of course, a highway from Seattle to Hazel ton. British Columbia Eight hun dred and eight-two miles separate those two cities. From Hazelton to the boundary of Yukon Territory new construction would total 520 miles. There is a road 50 miles north of construction would total 4SO miles, with 50 miles already built. The h. ternational Highway, according to present plans, would branch off the Richardson Highway at McCarty, 91 miles from Fairbanks. From Me Carty to the boundary is a distance

In the presence OF the warden.
Burke, who is very i'll, told the doctor
how she had lost ten pounds, de-
scrtbed the food, for which the pri-
son authorities are paid rs cent a
day, and told how although the pri-
son has truck-garden, not a green
vegetable had been seen In the jail
all summer. DR.. Collins, the prison
doctor, was also present, and Burke
described how she had refused to
give her medical attention or order
for her the milk she was supposed
to get.
Collins walked off, without a word
to say.
do you mean to say you don't
get vegetables7" said the warden,
What about the peas and beans you
get2"
Burke pointed out that these were
dried vegetables.

mittees, showed the continuing fear
of discrimination on the part of Ne
groes. That this fear was justified,
was shown in the drawing up of the
slate of officers. There no place was
left for a single Negro, although later
this was corrected by the withdrawal
of one of the nominees for vice
president.
A Shallow Interpretation
just as the socialist Continental
Congress last May decided to adopt
a declaration of independence, SO
the Musteites adopted one in Column
bus, the last paragraph of which
reads: when OUR forefathers crushed
the tyranny, America was born.
When the men of 1860 destroyed
chattel slavery, Americas develop
ment as great industrial state was
made possible. And when the men
and women of today shall finally
crush the tyranny of bankers and
Bosses America shall at last be free"
This paragraph indicates the whole
shallow anti MARKHAM Interpretation
of the traditions of bourgeois revolu-
tons. Men and women of today"
but no mention of the contradictions
between the capitalist class and
working class. No mention of the
necessity TO overthrow the capitalist
system, but rather suggestion of
the possibility Of peaceful transit
ton from capitalism to socialism
without overthrowing capitalism.
The Columbus Convention, as al
ready mentioned before, was a pro-
gressive step to the extent that it
recorded support for a unified I'M
employed movement; called for the
organization of strikes, for the bet
terment Of wages and conditions on
forced labor and public works pro-
jects; and at least vaguely endorsed
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill 1t is our duty, in the
course Of day To day activity, to de-
velop a sharp and clear program as
against the vacillations of the cleft"
reformist Music movement. We must
initiate and help to develop strikes
on all forced labor and public works
projects on greater scale than we
have done heretofore. In all Of these
movements we can develop the strug-
gle for federal unemployment insur-
ance.
The Unemployed Councils must
strengthen its own organization, by
organizing block committees and en-
rolling hundreds and thousands Of
supporters into our organization.
Through such mass movement, on the
basis Of Carrying on united front &C
tivity with all other unemployed
bodies, we can develop one national
unified unemployed organization.

part and parcel of Mysticism as a
tendency.
In the opening of the convention
immediate friction was started by the
Trotskyites, Lovestoneites, and other
ques, who played miserable role
The most insignificant point became
an issue for these people to create
differences. Their position is ex-
emplified by a certain Mrs. Rose, a
Trotskyite from Los Angeles, who ap-
pealed to the lowest emotions OF the
politically most backward sections OF
the workers. She stated that repub-
licans and democrats are playing
with the lives of workers and their
families" and pointing to the Unem-
ployed Councils delegation continued,
now these people want to play with
u.s." The convention forced her to
subside. Also, the New York Love-
stoneite, Becker, tried to introduce a
statement against unity, but had to
desist.
The socialists, in the most under
handed manner, carried through
their destructive tactics. They dis
tributed, secretly, statement SLAM
dering the Communists and all those
who supported united front action.
1t becomes ever clearer that the So
cialist leaders will oppose any united
front movement of the workers.
This was already seen in the action

jority of the Chicago Convention Of

A Clear Program
The Unemployed Councils, through
its National Secretary, I. Amter, was
able to present a clear position, be-
cause Of its concrete program and
its support and guidance from the
Communist Party. Amter in his
speech brought forth the need Of
developing nation wide movement

to Stop Relief

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Four
million workers now on relief lists
throughout the country will be re-
moved and part of them placed on
public works projects according to
an announcement of the Emergency
Relief Administrator, Harry L, Hop
kinS.
The s3,3oo,Oo0 900 voted for a So
called public works program has been
appropriated only for war construc-
ton purposes, 1898 600, 900 is to be
used for naval construction and at
least s15o,0oo,00o is considered for
army purposes such as rnechaniza-
ton, construction of army posts and
similar projects. Hopkins plans to
place a small fraction of the unem-
ployed on war construction jobs and
use it as pretense to remove the
rest from relief.
The intention of the government to
stop relief was already indicated in
Roosevelt's speech to the youth in
the forest camps made on Monday.
The president stated that 1--WE are
seeking to get away as fast as we
possibly can from soup kitchens and
free rations," This reference was
mainly aimed at millions of jobless
who live on relief distributed by local
government agencies. This will be
replaced by forced labor jobs.
The government program of even
cutting out existing relief distribution
continues to bring the urgent neces-
sity of establishing Federal Unem-

fare allows the family about so cents
worth of groceries weekly.
The welfare doesn't nro"ide enouoh
milk for the family to keep a cat
alive, let alone two children. Baby
Bell was sent to the Miami Valley
Hospital here. The city kept the child
there for three weeks and, as the child
used to moan and cry for food, Bell
being a Negro baby of an unemployed
workers family, the baby was discrim-
mated against.
The baby's mother went to visit her
and when she got to the ward where
the baby was supposed to be she got
a shock by seeing that the child she
cherished was gone from the ward
She began to cry and weep, thinking
her baby was gone forever. One of
the doctors tried to pacify the mother
and called nurse, and when the
nurse saw that it was Negro mother
crying for her child she insulted Mrs.
Kelly and told her that her child
was alive, but on account Of the baby's
moaning and crying for food, they
removed the child to another room.
She led Mrs. Kelly to the lower part
of the room and pointed to door,
ard said Bel was ~ +ha~0.
Mrs. Kelly opened the door and, to
her surprise, she found herself look
ing into lavatory where the bed
pans and urinals were hanging on
the wall She heard a child crying
and went in and found the child in
a crib without sheets or attendance.
Dayton, Ohio, is not supposed to be
a jim-crow city, but the filth and
the ways the Negroes are discrimi-
mated against is as bad as in many
cities south of the Mason Dixon Line.
The mother took Bell home to try
and feed the child but the child is not
doing any building up, as the parents
can't get the proper nourishment for
the child. A. M.

By PHIL FRANKFELD
Secretary Unemployed Councils,
Pittsburgh DISTRICT

The National Convention of the
Unemployed Leagues, held on July
3-5 in Columbus, following the
State Convention Of the same Or
ganization, was marked with the
vacillation and hesitancy which is
typical of the Music movement.
The convention was attended by
SIS regular and 81 fraternal dele
gates from 10 states. Discounting
the inflated claims as, for instance,
10000 members for Ohio, $50, 900 in
California, the fact remains that
many thousands we're represented at
this convention. Of special i'm
portance was the fairly good dele
cation from West Virginia and
North Carolina, which included a
number of Negro delegates.
The National Convention opened in
a somewhat depressed state. During
the two previous days the Ohio
Leagues had held their convention,
which registered rapidly mounting
wave Of rehabilitation. On the other
hand, all the confusion and preju-
dices Of the backward sections of the
working class could be observed. The
bulk Of those present had undoubt-
edly not heard a Communist speaker
before. They we're conscious of one
thing, conditions are bad and some
thing must be DONE" 1t was there
fore possible for stool pigeons, as
Gerstner and Brag, to whip up a
patriotic spirit.
This even brought about a situa-
ton where a Negro delegate, Nc
Keeney, from Allegheny County, was
driven off the Fair Grounds and
nearly attacked because he walked
with a white woman companion.
When this occurred the Musteites
failed to lake sharp and decisive
stand, evading the issue by not men,
tioning 1t and even keeping Nc
Keeney from the convention.
No Firm Position
The whole preparations and ac-
lions Of the Musteites in the Ohio
field helped prepare the ground for
such conditions. Their program Of
"Americanism," "of realistic Amer
lean approach" when translated into
the arena Of the class struggle had
TO result not in developing a class
consciousness but In fostering ma
tionalistic feeling among its sup
porters. Their refusal to meet issues
squarely in principled manner ran
like a thread throughout the pro-
ceedings Of state and national con-
ventions. This position Is not acci-
dental. Their failure to have line
is the very line they pursue. 1t is
