near the Young ranch TO be highly
unsanitary. Under the provisions of
the general health laws DR.. Fox de-
clared these camps to be public nui-
sances and started the movement
to have them closed.
Notice was served on the camp
that it must be closed. In seven
places such notices in English were
posted and in two places in Span
.ish. Besides this they were read pub
licly in both languages.
According to these notices the oc-
cupants of the camps were to vacate
by 10 o'clock this morning. This was
particularly in relation to the des-
ert camp and the other nearer Cali
patria in which about 1000 men were
staying.
This morning the health depart
ment served notice on the regular
pea growers camps where sanitary
conditions were not satisfactory that
these conditions must be remedied
before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
or they would also be closed.
Dir. Fox stated that he found no
trouble in posting these notices or
in informing tne occupants of these
camps that they must vacate. The
county health officer further stated
that his action was taken under the
authority of the general health laws
Of the state and also of county or
dinances No. 8 and No. l01.

Fox said further, will not be moved
unless with their own consent and
in that case a nurse will go with
them to their new location. Follow
ing this DR.. Fox said that a COM
plete survey of all camps will be
made in the interests of sanitation
ana pubic health.
Sixteen Arrested
Sixteen alleged strike agitators
were arrested in the Calipatria area
yesterday and lodged in the county
Jail. 1t is understood that they are
to be arraigned before Judge Gruble
tomorrow morning on charges of
disturbing the peace.
Those arrested yesterday are ::
Gladys Posey, 80, Eta Stephen. "a,
Dell MaSton, "a, Lewis c. Highley,
46, Pete Bunnell, 40, VIM. Jones, 35,
Roy Mills, %, j. LupSon, 43, Geo.
Quinn, 55, Charles Ellis, 80, Angel
Garcia, Al, Anton Muhlech, 28, Lor-
EMO Ramos, 10, Burr Gordon, So,
Frank Johnson, l9, and E. Dubard,
SO.
They were brought IN TO Tie coun-
ty Jail yesterday following the
breaking up by a number of depu-
ties OF an attempted parade of strik-
erS through the streets of Calipat-
ria. A large number of special de-
putieS aided the regular officers in
breaking up the threatened demon
StrationS in the streets of Calipatria.
Another group of deputies raided
one of the concentration camps into
which the strikers are gathering fol-
lowing their expulsion from some of
the regular camps. Searching the
camp the deputies confiscated 26
shotguns, pistols, blackjacks and
ether arms which were brought to
IHe jail.
Timothy Reardon, special repre-
sentative of Governor Rolph is in
the valley in the interests of arbi-
trating the strike and held a meet
ing attended by representatives of
both the growers and workers yes
terday.
Opinion on the question of success
of these conferences seems to vary.
1t was said On one hand that the
strike was now virtually broken and
that all the men would be back to
work in time to save the large pea
crop which needs immediate pick
ing.
In fairness to w. Z. Young,

In fairness to w. E. Young,
mentioned in the above article,
The Press deems il desirable to
state that connection of MIR.
YOung's name with the camp
should not be miscOnstrued. The
strikers were camped OH his
property with his tacit permis-
sion as a means of avoiding
trouble but it was neither his
desire nor intention to permit
establishment or maintenance
of a condition which would be
in violation of the health laws.
He had no connection with the
camp other than ownership of
the land On which it was placed.

(SpeciaD-Well, wasn't ttat too
bad about the king of Belgium?
I think he had always appealed

great love and concern for his

Well, England has great love
for their King George too; and

cruitment. The Party districts are
by no means taking full advantage
Of these possibilities"
Many of the districts and sec
tons" he went on, still function
in the old, sectarisn way, within
narrow circle, and are not taking
sufficiently energetic steps to break
away from bad methods Of work.
Many Of them still use the old
'stereotypes' instead Of the fresh
language Of the masses-language
that the masses can understand.
Fresh Approach Needed
eve must learn to have a fresh
approach-not from the outside. but
from the viewpoint Of the workers
own experiences and problems in
the light of the Party program"
An outstanding feature of his
meetings, BroWder reported, was
the "eagerness with which the
workers listened to the program
for establishing a Socialist (Sov-
ietl) society in America. They en-
Enthusiastically greeted the eXpIana-
ton Of what a workers govern
Dlent would and could do.
THE meetings demonstrated that
workers in increasing numbers are
actually thinking about the problem
of taking over power from the cap
italiSt class in practical terms.
THE problem Of workingcIass
power is definitely on the order of
the day for these workers. They are
thinking about it and demanding
answers to this question.
There is no doubt that the vast
majority Of the workers who came
to my meetings did at one time
have illusions about Roosevelt; I'M
questionably most Of them voted
for Roosevelt and believed in him.
particularly during the first period
of the New Deal but these work
ers have been jolted out Of their
illusions by their own direct ex-
periences. They have found that
wages, hours and working condi-
tons are everywhere becoming in
creasingly worse"
Ofeat AnJPreSt IN austria
Browder told Of the profound in
terest in the Austrian events"
among the workers. Everywhere. he
said, workers adopted resolutions
supporting the struggle of the heroic
Austrian workers, and DISPLAYED
the closest attention to the lessons
OF the defeats in Austria and Ger
many as a result Of the policies of
the Social-Democratic leaders"
Browder said that the central
point observed as result of his trim
to the concentration centers was
that the workers were drawing up
a balance sheet comparing the re-
suits Of sixteen years OF proletarian
rule in the Soviet Union with is
years of activity of the Social
Democracy in Austria and Ger
many"
Everywhere, BrOwder observed.
the workers showed "a keen
understanding that events IN
Europe have a distinct relation
to the problems Of the American
working class"
The Communist Party Browder
said in conclusion. has shown def
mite progress in establishing shou
nuclei in the concentration indus
tries, having more than doubled the
number Of shop nuclei since the
extraordinary Conference Of the
FarVy held IN New York last June.

Sherwood Eddy Sees U.S.S.R.
Through New Deal Spectacles

should take view as realistic as
the Russians of the class war
which they believe is already a
reality"
THIS is pure and unadulerated
jingoism, chauvinism and war
propaganda of the type that fits in
neatly with the war plans of the
New Deal Mr.. Eddy being a Y. M
9. A. man, no doubt looks back to
the old days of 1917-I8 when the
z" filled its Golfers to overfoving
by selling cigarets and other items
to the troops in the trenches-cig-
arets that were paid for by the par
ents of the boys to be given to them
free of charge. Perhaps Mr.. EDDY
thinks that q nice war would be
just the thing to pull capitalism out
of the ditch and the Y. NJ. c. A. out
Of the red.
Nevertheless Mr., Eddy cannot
help but record many Of the re-
markable advances made in the u.
S. S. R. while the rest of the world
is crumbling and deceying.
He says. 1.-THE West gives Justice
to the favored few owners and their
more fortunate dependents -
says Eddy. "The Soviets provide
Justice for the mass OF workers
One of the most brilliant achieve
ments of the Soviet Union is in the
sphere of childhood and in its at
tainment of free, compulsory, uni
versal primary education the
housing plans of the Soviet Union
include the destruction of all I'M
sanitary areas and, ultimately, the
adequate housing Of all workers in
the o. S. S. r. at reasonable rem
tails"
Eddy halls these achievements
and many more--the supervision Of
childbirth and children, the unified
philosophy of life, and prosperity
of industry and agriculture with
out the profit motives-but still he
sec the Soviet as an enemy
from which the New Dealers can
learn. He thinks that capitalism
can be saved by planning. But he
fails to take into consideration that
it is the very nature of capitalism
its social production and private
appropriation. without which CAPT
talism cannot exist, which makes
his plans possible, N. R. A. or no
N. r. A.
The lessons to be learned from
the Soviet Union should be quite
clear for the working class and i'm

is, to organize into the Communist

subject was THE Way Out Of the

ment Would Do in the United
States"
In Pittsburgh the audience con-
sisted of miners, steel workers and
workers in the Westinghouse Blec-
trio Company. A large proportion at
all meetings, he said, were Negro
workers.
Mass Organizations Growing
Activity, Browder pointed out, is
witnessed by the ''unexampled mass
tunouts for all actions organized
by the Party and the circles around
the Party. In fact, all the mass Or
CARNATIONS supporting the Party
are growing as never before. But
quite beyond our organizational in
fluence, there is evidence of grow
ing activity among workers, middle
class elements, professionals, intel
lectuals. etc"
There are sure signs OF a grow
ing strike wave. Browder declared.
There is no doubt but what a big
strike wave Is maturing. Sentiment
for strikes has spread far beyond
the conditions in a particular in
dustry and takes the form of a new
general spirit Of militancy.
Force Firing Of Foreman
"In fact, right in the heart of the
trlbstified industries-in Gary, Ind,
for example, where workers, sur
rounded by company spies, feared to
protest there is a broad movement
Of struggle developing. This is Wv
Idly illustrated by the fact the
workers in one Of the Gary steel
mills recently as a result of q cam
paign by the C.P. shop nucleus,
forced the bosses to fire a particu-
larly Objectionable foreman. Such a
thing would not long ago have been
considered quite inconceivable"
Browder in his tour noted general
improvement in the work of the
Party, although in some places this
improvement rs not yet decisive. -
It Is fact, however, he asserted,
that there is lively pre- convention
discussion in the lower ranks of the
Party, more than is yet reflected in
the contributions in the Daily
Worker discussion column"
The Party, Browder stated. lis
growing everywhere, but we cannot
yet say that It is awake to the
enormous possibilities for mace ra.

But Mr.. Eddy would have the
American workers learn no such
lessons. His job is to save capital

THERE are many true facts about
the U. S. S. R. in this book and
more n,isstatements of the fact. In
deed the Communist Manifesto is
published in full near the end of
the volume. But I would advise
those who wish to read the Mani
festo to get 1t for cents at the
Workers Book Store. 1t would be
cheaper. Why pay $3.50 for Eddy's
book and then have to read the
Manifesto sandwiched in between
pages of liberal jingoistic tripe. If

Study of Hawaii,
US. War Base
HAWAU-War Base in the Pacific.
BY Samuel Weinman. (Tnterna
tional Pamphlets No. 3D.
Reviewed by E. P. GREENE
tcDEARL OF THE PACIFIC" d.

fcDEARL OF THE PACIFIC"
/ Land Of the Hula Hula" It
is with. such phrases as these that
the U. S. imperialists cover up their
exploitation of Hawaii, the strategic
American possession in the Pacific.
This pamphlet Is the first ex-
tended analysis of Hawaii from a
revolutionary point of view to ap-
pear in the English language. It
supplements the article by Sen
Katayama in the Communist In
ternationaI, June %, 1888. This
forcefuI pamphlet was prepared by
Weinman under the direction Of
Labor Research Association.
The Hawaiian Islands, lying mid
way in the Pacific between America
and Asia, are becoming of increes-
ing importance to the United States
as another imperialiSt war ap-
proaches. American imperialism
maintains at Pearl Harbor the most
powerful naval base in the world,
built at a cost Of $4,000 900 and
continually being strengthened. To
bring out the war significance Of
the islands, Weinman traces recent
events, including the flight Of the
navy planes, the visit of Secretary
Swanson and the projected visit Of
Roosevelt himself.
Hawaii IS an agrarian appendage
Of Yankee imperialism, a two-crop
country in which, as in all colonial
countries, the development Of in
dustry is prevented by imperialism.
The average wage is less than 81
a day-when there is work. Since
the sugar and pineapple industries
are seasonal. this means that there
is work only four months in the
year. As in most colonial coun-
tries foodstuffs are imported, and
are therefore prohibitive in price.
The vast majority Of the population
is thus forced to subsist on rice. In
1909, 1920 and 1924, great strikes
occurred in Hawaii, militantly con-
Quoted by the workers, in spite of
treschsrous reforI1list leadership and
the bioodiest terror on the part OF
the plantation companies and their
government. The author of the
pamphlet gives a graphic account
OF these strikes and outlines their
lessons for the workers.
HAWAII is controlled, economically
IA and politically, by the Castle
Cooke oligarchy, descendants of the
missionaries Samuel Castle and
Amos Cooke, who first brought the
message Of God" to the islands in
the early 18th century. When. in
1890, Hawaiian sugar was forced BY
the Mckinley tariff to compete on
even terms with Cuban and
Philippine cane, this little clique OF
expioiters began a campaign for the
annexation Of the Islands to the
United States Annexation took
place in 1898. after Queen Liliuo-
kalani had been deposed by a
revolution" instigated by the Amer
lean exploiters in 1898.
All this and much more is eff
fectively described in the pamphlet
which is very wei documented, and
written in clear and simple Ian
guage.
The pamphlet is 80 pages and sells
Tor 10 cents. Book stores and litera-
lure agents are now selling it. or
