Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
For a formal dinner, the

is it proper to put green satin
under-cloth and green candles
with, say, 1ilies-of-the-valley, as
the centerpiece, so that the
green will show through the
lace and so forth? Or would
gold satin underneath. with
gold color candles and jonquils

silver finger bowls or glass
finger bowls, and is it necessary
to put paper cups in them and
the lemon, or don't they use
lemon any more? If they do,
is it proper to put the lemon
right in the water because of
serving the finger bowls on
the dessert plates with a paper
dolly to be removed to the
table by the guest? I do not
think could place the lemon
on the side of the plate. A.
It is in far better taste not
to use any colored lining under
your Observation-Disclosures cloth.
This went out of fashion with
fringed, silk candle shades on
the table candles. Use your
cloth with no lining under it.

sistent and more prudent than his
former party comrades. In periods
of acute class differences, the Men
shevikS in Russia, like their con-
freres in other countries of Europe,
merged with bourgeois democracy.
Upton Sinclair merely anticipates
this development. The Democratic
Party in America, however, under
stands full well the usefulness of
capitalizing the illusions of petty
bourgeois democrats and utilizing
the popularity which Sinclair had
won among the masses by exposing
the oligarchy of the American
trusts.
Old-fashioned reactionary Demo-
Gratis try to frighten their party,
warning it that Sinclair would use
his popularity for revolutionary
propaganda. But the more far
sighted representatives Of the Dem
ocratic Party laugh up their sleeves.
Indeed, where and when has the
petty bourgeoisie ever used the big
geois parties, historically
formed and based upon a whole
system of connections with capital
istic organizations? Whenever petty
bourgeois democracy, in decisive
historical moments, subserved to the
big bourgeoisie, it did so ultimately
only to betray democracy jointly.
Upton Sinclair's campaign to end
poverty in California will end in
one thing only-in demonstrating
the theological poverty of petty
bourgeois political thought.
The american" Way
But before this became obvious to
the broad masses of the people, who
now hopefully listen to the bally-
hoo raised about Sinclair's under
taking, it is worth examining the
theological baggage with which Mr..
Sinclair is setting forth. His pro-
gram is outlined in twelve COM
mandments, which properly begin
with an invocation to god almighty
who created the natural wealth of
the earth for the use of all men,
not of a few" and who created
men to seek their own welfare, not
that of masters" Having paid
proper tribute to god, Mr.. Sinclair
affirms that when the means of
production were simple their pri-
vate ownership was basis of free
dom, but that when they reached
great development they became,

! WAS born in 1897, January 4th,
in Marion, Alabama County
seat of Perry County. Marion is a
small town of between 5000 and
1000 population. My parents were
tenant farmers. I began work on a
farm when I was very young-about
Z years Of age.
I began to see the intense perse-
cution of the Negro people when I
was a boy Of ten. Early one morning
my uncle and I were in the little
town of Marion Junction, which is
about ten miles or so from Marion.

under private ownership, a basis of
enslavement of the masses.
Sinclair also affirmS that "the
present crisis is one of abundance.
not of scarcity" that when some
men live without working, other
men are working without living"
The way out, he says, "is to give
the workers access to the means of
production" This change" he
suggests, "can be brought about by
action of majority of the people,
and that is the American way"
How does Sinclair propose to car
ry out this program? Very simply.
Hundreds of thousands Of ranchers
IN California are bankrupt. They
abandoned their land, which is now
idle. The banks holding this land
do not know what to do with it.
Enormous tracts of unused land are
also held by realty spectators. The
State of California could lease these
lands and turn them into land COL
onies for unemployed agricultural
workers. Similarly there are thou
sands of idle factories in California,
and millions of workers who are
without work could produce all the
necessities of life for the agricul-
tural colonists, and vice versa. The
State of California could lease all
these factories and operate them.
To raise funds necessary to finance
these undertakings, the state would
impose tax Of so per cent on all
incomes exceeding fifty thousand
dollars year. This would be am
pie not only for operating these ag-
Observation-Disclosures state enter
prises and for guaranteeing to its
workers a cultural standard Of liv-
ing, but even for providing security
for old age and sickness.
Reactions Of the Bourgeoisie
What the relation would be of this
self contained economy to the rest
Of the capitalist economic system,
Mr.. Sinclair has not yet decided.
The question, would these public
enterprises also produce for the
market after they had satisfied the
needs of the unemployed, Mr.. Sin
clair does not answer. He leaves
this for the future to worry about.
The bourgeois press, however, has
answered the question. 1t says that
it would be sheer nonsense" for
the state to burden its citizens with
taxes in order to finance a public
enterprise which could produce
enough not only to satisfy the needs
of its workers but also to sell to
the market, thus competing with
capitalist production. Also, by af-
fording a human standard of liv-
ing to its workers, the state system
of production would become a revo-
lutionary factor with respect to the
workers employed in private CAPT
talist industries and the farmers
who are suffering from the ex-
ploitation of finance capital.
Naturally, the bourgeois press is
not enthusiastic about this plan.
"All the better for the plan," say
the petty bourgeois, because this
only proves that the plan is in the
interests of the masses of the peo-
pie" This might really be so if the
objection of the capitalists were

the latter party to advance a DEM
agogic program of combating big
capital ana graphing with poverty,
the petty bourgeois masses are suf-
ficiently gullible to fall for such
social demagogy, especially if its
exponent is a man who is energetic
and without the personal pecuniary
ambitions Of Roosevelt. If the So
cialist Party believes that poverty
can be abolished without a reyolu-
ton, by democratic methods, why
can't the Democratic Party be re-
formed, purged of its corruption
and made a lever of great social
reform?

eminent of oppression. A good
many Of them informed me that
after the war these things would
change.
Leaving Hampton Roads on the
eve Of the armistice, went to re-
side in Philadelphia. I noticed even
after the war that conditions as far
as the Negroes were concerned had
not changed any. I gave up all
hopes Of freedom then.
In 1920 I came to San Bernardino.
California, and went to apply for
a job in the Santa Fe shops. I was
chased out by a railroad bull, 7
then went to Cotton and found en-
ployment with the California Port
land Cement Company for two
years. In 1922, during the Brother
hood strike, this same cop wanted
to get me a JOB in the Santa Fe
shops. When I reminded him Of
this other occasion, he replied that
he was only carrying out instruc-
tons, but having seen other cases
where Negroes were used as strike
breakers I knew what would be the
result after the strike. However,
the company was able to ship in a
lot Of scabs, of whom good many
were Negroes.
One Negro boy that I was well
acquainted with was among the
scabs. explained to him that he
would have no job after the strike.
Two days later, on his way home a
bunch Of strikers began chasing
him. He fired a few shots and killed
one of the strikers, and, Of course,
because the law was protecting pri-
vate property, had the full protec-
ton of the law. This, Of course, in
famed the worst kind Of race
hatred throughout San Bernardino
County. After the strike was broken,
as usual, the Negro workers began
to find themselves back in the ranks
of the unemployed.
