PARTY LIFE
HO,V to York Among Workers
In Fascist Organizations
Communists Must Distinguish BettCeen Fascist
Leaders and Rank and File Workers

made to these workers at a meeting
in Passaic, the attitude of some
of the rank and file who attended
the meeting was quite different.
The leaders left the meeting, but
most Of the rank and file remained,
and applauded the speaker. But
this was not all They proposed I'd
T a t the Unemployed Council
should join with the Khaki Shirts
in delegation to the Relief Buro
to get relief, provided there would
be no political speeches, no poll
tical slogans; ~ If this were done,
they stated, they would join in
the United Front May Day DEM
onstration.
Our comrades must not make the
mistake that was proposed in the
opportunist slogan of some COM
rades of the German Communist
Party, Smash the FascistS wher-
ever you meet them" which was
rejected by the Central Committee
of the G. P. G. Often the rank
and file Of the fascist organizations
is composed of many plain workers
who are led on by the demagogic
slogans of the fascist leaders, and
have hopes that the promises Of
these leaders will be fulfilled. If we
make the proper proposals, and
have the proper approach, we can
win these workers over to the revo-
lutionary organizations. If we do
not make the distinction between
leadership and rank and file, we
will not be able to carry out the
decision of the thesis of the 18th
Plenum Of the Comintern, namely,
to work in the fascist organizations.
The above example of wrong or
ganization and its correction should
help all the districts.

Program of Health Magazine" and
the Specialization of Medicine
BY PAUL LUTTrNGER, MD. :
c ono sfon

Health" will oppose all medical
and dietetic fads, the purpose Of
which is to fatten on the gullibility
of the ignorant or the semi-edu-
Gated. Health" believes in modern
scientific medicine and hygiene and
will try to acquaint its readers with
rational ideas about health and dis
ease. 1t is against charlatanism
and unscientific quackery in medi-
cine, dietetics and hygiene. 1t will
advocate universal birth-control,
truthful sex instruction and scien-
tific demonstrable proof against
fanciful, improved theories.
Health" will concern itself
chiefly with problems which are of
the greatest interest to the largest
number. Occupational and indus
trial hazards, personal health prob
lens, public health, diet, seasonal
ailments, health insurance, workers
compensation, mental hygiene and
the care of children will constantly
be discussed in its columns. Med
ICdl IL auOS dlld cbeAoOo AL l1OopAUo4o
and other public health institutions
will be exposed. We invite all those
who know of any such abuses to
write us without fear We pledge
ourselves to expose any injustice
brought to our attention, whether
it is committed against members
of the allied medical professions or
the public at large. Internes.
nurses, drug clerks, laboratory tech
nicians, patients in sanatoria, hos
pitfalls, and in various public insti-
buttons, will henceforth have .
medium in which they can air their
grievances and demand redress.
Medicine came into existence with
the first cry of pain heard In the
jungle or cave it will only cease
when pain and suffering have been
banished from the earth. To this
ultimate aim Health" is dedicated!

Letters from Our Readers

come the best daily newspaper in
America. No worker will have to
read any other paper but the
Daily" because he will find there
all the news of the day and above
all the news that is nearest to his
heart-news of the workers strug-
giles.
May I suggest to enlarge the med
ical column, sports column, and es-
tablish a few more columns, such as
questions and answers, etc.
And in order to popularize the
Daily" let me urge you to print a
few hundred thousand leaflets and
distribute them in the streets and
have posters on all news-stands in
the city. Only in this way can the
Daily" become a real mass news
paper. S. G.

Dear Comrades:
Last Wednesday we called to see
a worker in Claremont. He is a
native son, to use term in vogue
around here, has large family, and
for the first time in his life has
come to know hunger and poverty.
We stood in his doorway talking to
him, or rather at him, for not
muscle of his face moved, and he
was all but belligerent in his hard
passivity. We left him a copy of

our way, feeling little had been &C
complished at that tenement door.
We live in a shanty five miles
from his home. Two mornings later,

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
How Sterilization Works in

B. R., Newark, N. $50 far, we
have little information regarding
the practical application of the
sterilization law in Germany. On
March 5, the Eugenics Court in Ger
many opened its first session and
ordered several persons to be steri-
lized. There are no details about
the cases. The names of the de-
PENDANTS were concealed and the
public was verboten to enter the
Court. The proceedings were abso-
lutely secret and we are, therefore,
unable to judge whether the trial
was fair one or not. Judging by
analogy, we are inclined to believe
that it must have been an unfair
trial, until the details regarding the
nature of the cases are made public.

Sulphur Dioxide in Food

Mrs. Lillian NJ, Omaha, Neb.-
The amount of sulphur dioxide in
syrups made of molasses or cane
sugar is about 100 to 200 parts in
each millionth part of syrup. The
amount of sulphur is too small to
cause any injury to a healthy adult;
but when an individual is below
par, especially when he is suffering
from Inflammation of the intesti-
nal tract or when this syrup is
given in large quantities to chill
dren, sulphur may cause irritation,
may aggravate the Inflammation,
and might become the cause of pro-
longing the condition. The same
may be said of the sulphur dioxide
which is used on dry fruits and on
-four which is bleached with the
same agent. While it is true that
natural food faddists have exag-
gerated the harrnfulness of sulphur
dioxide in our food, it is, neverthe-
less, fact that it is liable to cause
injury in delicate people, particu-
larly infants, and in the sick. AS
there is no necessity for using sui
phur dioxide, we must condemn the
practice of using it as a preserva-
tive or as a bleaching agent for
our food. All poisons-and sulphur
dioXide is a poison-are liable to

Bites Owner

Morganton-Seven hours after a
large pet rattlesnake had sunk
poisonous fangs in his arm, Ed
|Carswell, 45-year-old farmer of the
Bridgewater community, known
for the past IS years as a snake
charmer, died in a local hospital.
1t was his first time to be bitten by
a RATHER, although other so-called
poisonous species of his pets had
struck him without i'll effect.
The RATHER, which he had recent
ly acquired to take the place Of a
reptile which died last winter, was
cooled around Carswell's neck, with
its head resting on the farmers left
arm when it sank its fangs just
above the elbow.
Carswell killed the reptile and
was rushed to the Grace hospital,
losing consciousness 50 minutes be-
fore death.
He is survived by his wife and
five children, one of whom, a 10
year-old daughter, witnessed the
tragedy. A brother also has kept
snakes as a hobby.

= That's the record of Mr.. and

When they recently celebrated
their SEVENTEEN anniversary of
married life, Collins propounded
his views of matrimony and was
particularly scathing in denounc-
ing the modern institution of di-
vorce.
"It's a shame the way young
folks get divorced these days. he
said. "It seems they get married
Just for fun. Of course, it's hu-
man nature to get out of sorts at
times, but I'd never leave my wo-
to suffer. I've been mad enough
at times to skip out and go back to
the army, if I didn't believe as |
do"
And Mrs. Collins, sitting quietly
in a rocker, smiling agreed.
Collins, a Civil War veteran, re-
called his financial plight after be-
ing mustered out Of the army. He
said he had a hard time at first,
but always managed to exc out an
existence. He finally succeeded in
getting an So a month pension and
with that money bought and paid
for the house where they are now
living.
Eight of eleven children are now
living and Collins recalled how at
the last reunion he gave each of
them 500.
"And I had IS or 20 cents left,
too," he chuckled.
A Republican, he expressed a
hope President Roosevelt would
come out on top, but, he added:

to do it,"

Order Change
In Assessments
General Stores InFuture
Will Pay Only One
Code Authority

Washington.-Wholesale and re-
tail store proprietors in North Caro-
DINA will not be further harassed
by demands to pay assessments to
code authorities of the recovery adj
ministration except the one which
represents the chief or principal
line of goods hat they sell. Gen
eral Johnson, administrator, has
issued an order that only one as
sessment, that representative of the
chief line of goods carried, can be
levied for the present. Meanwhile,
anew formula is being worked out
to meet the situation.
The variety of merchandise hand
led by the small store, or the gen.
eral store which sells anything the
farmer needs" -types which are
important factors in the total re-
tail business-brings their opera
lions under a number of codes. The
local store owner has been harassed
by demands to pay assessments to
all of these code authorities. De-
partment stores and wholesale dis
tributors, also are Importantly af-
fected. Under the order issued
they will pay assessments only to
the code authority for the code
governing their principal line of
business with few exceptions.
1t was pointed out that where a
wholesaler or retailer is also engag-
ed in some other line of business
such as manufacturing, this order
will not prevent collection of as
sessment on the other business by
the code authority for that business.
In a very few cases, notably ice
and solid fuel, the right to collect
assessments on a secondary line of
business already has been granted.

Providing Jobs
For 100000
Hopkins And Roosevelt
To Discuss Method

Washington.-Another gigantic
effort to put the unemployed to
work next winter was forecast.
While officials of the Federal
Emergency Relief Corporation OPP
pose an outright revival of the
CWA which was hastily organized
last winter to give jobs to 4,0o0,-
900, they are anxious to give the
unemployed work instead of relief
grants.
This question, as we'll as prelimi-
nary plans for the Administrations
social program, was to be discussed
by President Roosevelt and Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Admin
istrator.
Officials of the Relief Admins
tration are anxious to avoid a re-
petition of the eva plan under
which thousands of unemployed
were put to such tasks as raking
leaves. The strong criticism of the
alleged wastefulness Of the method
has caused a search for other kinds
of employment.
Hopkins himself has declared
that he would put the unemployed
to work if he were given the pow
er.
At the present time, FERA Off
cia1s say, about 100000 unem-
ployed are engaged in work relief
tasks of widely varying kind. They
range from aid in packing meat to
making mattresses and teaching in
nursery schools.
