Sustained sa. cro-iliao strain in auto accident two months before her second child was born. Joint strapped with adhesive plaster until after and then she wore q belt. Advised to have no more children on ac- count of the sacro-illao strain. Two years later came the third baby, normal delivery. Then two years moro brought another son, this time by CAesarian section af- ter 24 hours of futile labor. To. tal score, four sons In six years.
 Six months after the Caesarian there was still more or less con. ssant pain in left loin and side. Doctors thought 1t might be pyo. salpinx (pus tube, abscess in Fal. loplan tube) and suggested opera ton. Another doctor felt quite certain all the trouble was from the sacro-iliac strain, now of six years standing. He suggested X.ray pictures to settle this ques. ton, but x.ray pictures would cost SSS, and these are hard times when you have four sons to feed, clothe and house.
 so the correspondent wonders whether free x.ray pictures could be obtained from the general hos- ital In her city.
 General hospitals are funny that way. If you are an indigent. an alien, an inmate of an institution or a criminal, chances arc you can get free treatment, free x.ray, frec board and everything. But If you are Q good citizen come upon par. lous times, your best bet ia that good old friend the family doctor.

Too much sport In shopping around and "trying' 'thiH and that specialist for every little thing, when you have the price of such amuso- ment. Then when you are down and out your wonderful specialist fades out of the picture, your case suddenly proving outside of his province.

Serve Guest Of Honor First

Serve Guest Of Honor First
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
To settle an argument, please
tell me who is served first at a
dinner party given at home?
Does the host Cor the maid, if
there is one) serve the hostess
FIRST, or is the guest Of honor
the first to be served? D.
The woman guest Of honor Is
served first, whether the Serv-
ing is done by the host or by
the waitress. This gives added
compliment to the guests of
honor. If a waitress is serving,
she passes the serving dishes
first to the woman guest Of
honor. and then serves the
guests in the order in which
they are seated. If the host is
doing the serving, he serves first
the woman guest Of honor, then
the other women. and then the
men.

HOW / THINK THE WORLD
WILL LOOK 20 YEARS
FROM NOW
Big Smile

'Tt was q hot July after
noon. I was sitting under o
large apple tree at HoIHings
Farm, reading q book. How
ever the book did not seem very
interesting, 50 I tossed it aside.
Then my gaze fell upon q reap
ing machine, hard at work I'm
the fields. I began to picture
what the world will be like 20
years hence. My mind seemed
like a picture book.
"On the first page my imagi.
nation saw a large, long loco
motive. How fast 1t went-at
least 100 miles an hour.
Then came by friends. They
were all grown up and how
queer and different they looked.
They seemed to be talking and
laughing about something.
Around the corner Of the quiet
street came an automobile. "Oh.
how old fashioned" said Janice
Cahill. Then the others laugh
ed again. I couldn't understand
what they were laughing about.
"The next page Of my dream
explained it. Everything was In
the air or underground. When
people went riding, instead Of
going in an automobile they
went in an airplane.
Subway stops were quite a.
common as street car stops are
nowadays.
"In my next imagination pic
ture saw another group. It
was my sister and brother and
some Of my cousins. What do
you think they were talking
about? About going to live at
Mars. 1t had been discovered
and seemed q desirable place
to live.
"Then my picture book SEEM
ed to close. I fell to wonder.
ing whether the world would
be like this or not. l rather
hoped it would"

Critcism in the PeConvenion Discussion Builds Our Party
Philadelphia District
Lays in Fight Against
The Social Fascists

Philadelphia, and other parts OK the
district. This accounts for the slow
recruiting into our Party. The Dis
trict Committee, Sections and units
must take this up sharply between
now and the coming Section and Dis
trict conventions.
- eor Control TASKS
That this could pass by is part Of
an even more serious matter The
District. according to the information
I could CLEAN, has no control tasks.
The District seems 10 be laboring un-
der the illusion that only the con-
centration districts have a plan with
control tasks. Although pointed out
to the comrades that the Pienum
should have been used to check-up
on the control tasks, there was no
indication Of its being done. How
then can one talk Of serious control
If a plan is not laid down with means
provided Of checking up? II there
were a plan, it surely would have
contained not only the central tasks
Of all districts-shop, union and IN
employed woSk, ete.-but also the
struggle against social-fascism not
only in general, but also specifically
in the district. This would have had
to include Reading and Allentown,
so that the District Plenun would
have discussed IT, But there is no
plan, no check up, no control-snd
therefore no struggle against social
fascism in a planned manner.
Concentration Neglected
These facts are Of most serious por-
tent and must be pointed out. The
District is doing union, shop and
agrarian work-with serious short
comings and with many important
tasks neglected, as, for instance, the
Bethlehem Steel plant at Sparrow
Point, which is a central point o
concentration, but Is not on the or
der Of business as it should be. Never
theless the 18th Plenum Resolution
points out sharply that the struggle
for the winning Of the working class
is the tirelesS, energetic struggle
against social-fascisnl in all forms
Where this Is not undertaken. the
workers will remain under the infiu
ence of our social-fascist enemies and
organization cannot be built up.
Finally, as another result Of the
absence Of control tasks and Of a
plan, is the fact that up to Feb. 10
practically only the membership Of
the Party In Philadelphia had their
books controlled. Hence the actual
membership Of the District could moi
be stated.
A District leadership that IS Sc
rious ABOUT putting the Open Lattek
and the 18th Plenum Resolution into
effect cannot allow such situation
to continue. The resolution for the
coming District Convention must
take up these points very sharply
lay down tasks, Ak responsibility ano
establish control. The Philadelphia
District is not exempt from the neeo
Of correct BoIshev1k methods Of work
in order to organize and lead the
workers in struggle, in order to win
the majority OF the workers for our
Party.

demands, better organizations. There
was backbone" to the struggle
We also drew them into active
work in the shop and union. We
insisted very strongly that they stop
bringing in Daily Workers, New
Masses, ETC., into the shop. We in
sisted that they stop speaking Com
munisIn. Why? Because il immedi-
ately branded them as Reds and
cranks. Whenever the workers placed
a label on them as Communists, it
was difficult for them to do mass
work We showed these sympathizers
that instead we organize the dis
tribution Of Daily Workers to he
point of selling as many as $50. by
organizing it, Instead of giving out
individually g few leaflets. we had
distributions Of 5000 to 5000 We
showed them by doing work with
the masses Of workers, getting their
confidence, becoming their leaders,
we now have the possibility of re-
cruiting on mass scale, because of
mass activity. The individual com
rade does not stop his agitation but
instead It is increased. without put
ting a label on himself Instead Of
a syinpathizer talking a worker deaf,
dumb and blind we organized left wing
groups, classes in Communism for
workers, brought in the Party to the
shop as whole by our campaigns.

but joining the Party and increasing

The more we recruit; the more work

units, more activity for the leading
comrades. Tremendous tempo. This
is what we learned We worked like
horses. but still not fast enough
The workers demand action now, not
tomorrow, when we may be better
organized. They are not going to
wait. The result: A mass increment

Don't we make mistakes? Sure
Plenty. But we are not afraid. We

Z periences, especially our mistakes
But the nucleus-the fraction goes
thoroughly into it. The comrades
from the District usually find the
mistakes, after we had taken steps
to correct them, showing that our
comrades were and are keenly aware
of the shortcomings.
In conclusion, the activity of the
comrades, mass activity, shows only
too clearly the necessity Of increas-
ing the speed. Sometimes, we kick

examples of Failure TO
Put Into Practice the
E.G.C.I. Resolution
By CARL BRANDON

The E.C.CI. says we must con
aretely expose chauvinism," We must
come out "determinedly for the
liberation of the dependent nations
from all national oppression"
What does this mean to us as
Communists? It means that we must
know how chauvinisIn expresses it
self mainly in the illusion Of white
superiority" in the illusion OF the
superiority of the white oppressor
nation to the oppressed Negro peo-
pies. These illusions are kept alive
by the most reactionary, the most
chauvinist elements Of finance cap
tal.
Finance capital through their
ownership OF the means of prop
aganda-the press, the schools, the
churches, the radios, etc, reach the
broadcast masses of workers and NIL
their minds with this venomous anti
working class poisor-that all
whites are members Of a superior
race" and by virtue Of this are q
people meant to rule; through grant
ing the white worker in some in
stances a little higher wage scale by
the profits obtained by this division
between the white and Negro workers
plus the super exploitation Of the
Negro masses. This illusion of white
superiority" is a hangover of slavery
days, and it is precisely there in the
Black Belt (the old cotton region of
the South that exploitation is great
est where its roots can be found.
Chauvinism in Food Strike
In our section (Section 2, New
York; where we have a population Of
nearly $4,000 Negroes we can see by
the results in the field of our Negro
work that we have no clarity, that
the illusions of white superiority"
has not been fought successfully in
our. ranks, and that the comrades
have not rid themselves Of the stink
ing poison of white chauvinism; that
there is not Bolshevik understand
ing the national liberation Of the
Negroes as part and parcel Of the
struggle for the emancipation Of the
working class" (From the Commu-
mist Position on the Negro Question:
How has the illusion of white
superiority" the expression of white
chauvinism manifested itself in our
section? For practical illustration let
Us take one instance, the recent food
trike. What has happened there?
Over 300 Negro workers are today
employed in the Hotel New Yorker;
brought there to scab and with the
promise of having permanent jobs.
Are we opposed to Negroes working
in the Hotel New Yorker? OF course,
not But because the white comrades
have not understood the need for
consistent struggles for the every
day needs of the Negro people and
precisely because Of this, which is
