Comrades Bittelman and Jerome
have made a thorough analysis Of
the book, and carefully point out
its fundamental errors. These errors
may be classed under the following
heads; u Mr.. Corey fails to under
stand the economics of imperialism,
i.e.. he fails to grasp the very es-
sence of the feminist analysis Of the
present historic epoch, which,
among other things, makes it en-
tirely impossible Tor him to develop
a scientific theory Of revolution;
q Mr.. Corey does not realize the
acceleration Of the tempo Of
unequal development of capitalism
in the various countries in the
present epoch; - Mr.. Corey fails to
grasp the feminist theory of the
inevitability Of revolution; a. Mr..
Corey does not understand the
Marxist-Leninist theory regarding
the increasing misery of the work
ing class.
Comrades Bittelman and Jerome
deal with Mr.. Corey's work not only
by pointing out the authors errors,
but also constructively developing
every point in the discussion with
a positive statement of the Marxist-
feminist position on the point at
issue. Thus the article becomes
much more than review. 1t is
scientific treatise in some of the
m a jor questions of Marxis1n-
Leninism.
Comrades Bittelman and Jerome
have rendered by this piece of work
a service to the popularization of
proletarian theory and therefore
to the proletariat and the revolu-
tionary movement of the United
States, and we earnestly recon-
mend to everybody interested in

THE STRUCTURE OF
THE CHROMOSOME

DR.. Calvin B. Bridges Of the
California Institute of Technology
has at last revealed the details of
the structure Of the chromosome.
Like the atom, the chromosome
was thought to be composed Of dis
tinct functional units, but this
theoretical bunch has only been
proven correct by the recent work
Of Dr.. Bridges.
To see the units within the
chromosome, DR.. Bridges had to get
around the very stuff from which
the chromosome takes its name.
The term is derived from the Greek
for the color body. 1t was given
to the small units within the
nucleus of the cell when biologists
observed that these structures be-
came darker than the rest of the
protoplasm upon the application Of
certain stains which brought out
the details Of the nucleus.
At first it was assumed that the
chromosome consisted of a uniform
substance called chromatin. But DR..
Bridges went to work following up
certain experiments by Professor
Painter of the University of Texas,
and reversed the usual procedure.
Instead of S aiming the chromatin
he developed solution which got
it out of the way altogether Thus
he was able to see what was inside
the chromosome. 1t turned out that
the chromation was not the impor-
tant part Of the chromosonle; it was
only the outside wrapping.
once DR.. Bridges got view of
the inside Of the chromosome he
obtained a correlation of the struc-
tural units with the known func-
tons of the CELL He then mapped
out the location of the genes, the
atomic uni S of heredity, in the
chromosome. Previously the loca-
tons of the genes had been spotted
on the outside of the chromosome
package. Now that the internal
contents were visible, strung to-
gether like beads on thread, he
saw that each gene-locus CORE
sponded to some special size or shape
of a bead. 1t was always in the
same relative position and was
always the same in all the chro-
mosomes that were examined.
It also appeared that the units
of the transparent chromosomes
we're sub-divisible. Each bead was
composed of a bundle Of tiny rods.
These sub-units were so small that
they may turn out to be single
molecules or groups of molecules
acting together. Whether these tiny
units are the genes themselves or
only the "genophores" (bearers Of
genes) is not very important. What
is important is that they are now
visible, and will therefore furnish
a new key to the secrets of life.
The milestones in the develop
ment of modern genetics are Men
dels discovery that genetic units
play large role in the inheritance
Of characters; Otto Butschl's dem
onstration of the existence o.
chromosomes; T. H. Morgan's theory
of the gene, and now Painters and
Bridges division of the chromosome
into its structural suo-units ana
their correlation with the position
Of the genes.

Although this resolution, passed
at time when the general textile
strike was only beginning, does not
give an analysis Of the textile strike,
this latter can be much better
understood after study of the
resolution.
An article by Sam Darcy, en-
titled The San Francisco Bay Area
General Strike is vivid and
earnest account of a man who,
himself, as District Organizer of the
Communist Party III California, was
a leader and an outstanding figure
in all the phases of the struggles.
If the general strike in San Fran
cisco was the highest point of the
revolutionary struggles Of tn e
American workers SO far, then, this
article gives the history Of this
struggle 1t gives more. 1t points
the way for further struggles.
The article by Comrade M.
Childs, Permanent Counter Rev.
olution,' throws q flood of light on
the activities of those elements
that call themselves Communists
only to fight the Communist move
ment and to hamper the growth Of
the class struggle. The article ex-
poses the role of Trotzkyites in the
Minneapolis strikes, and it should
be read by every one wishing to
understand what Trotzkyism is in
practice.
Comrade j. Peters articles on
Problems of Party Growth" deals
with the reasons Tor the fluctuation
of the membership and shows ways
of reforming the inner life of the
Party units in such manner as
will decrease that fluctuation by
activizing every member and max
ing the life of the unit more at
tractive.
IN addition to these articles or
1 current strike struggles this issue
of the Communist" contains the
first part Of an extended review by
Comrades Alex Bittelman and v. j.
Jerome of book by Lewis Corey,
THE Decline of American Cap
italism," and is entitled: 'Leninism
Is the Only Marxism of the I'm
perialist Era
This book by Corey is in itself a
phenomenon which marks the de-
cay of American capitalism. There
was time when Marxisn-Leninism
was not very popular in America.

WE must note that the radicah-
" cation of the workers, farmers,
and middle classes is coming to a
high stage, finding newer, broader,
more political modes Of expression
says Conraoe Earl Browder in his
report to the meeting of the Gen.
trail Committee of the Communist
Party held September SIS OF Ghis
year. Strike movements are rising
around small economic issues; they
broaden; they grow into political
class battles; masses hitherto I'M
differentiated are drawn, irresist-
IDLY, into the workers movement.
The highest expressions of this
movement so far have been the gen.
eraI strike and the solidarity strike
that sweep industrial localities and
even whole industries. Under such
conditions the workers respond
favorably to the call for a united
front against the capitalist often
sive, against fascism, and war. On
the other hand, the capitalists ard
their government resort more and
more sharply and rapidly, to meas
ures of fascist oppression.
This is, in brief, the stage of
development of the mass movement
at the end OF the fifth year of the
crisis that is dealt with in the
Communist for October. The sit
uation is frsught with broader and
sharper movements rising to great
er heights. The Communist Party
will inevitably be in the forefront
Of the movements. 1t will lead
them. 1t will give them unity of
purpose and unity of aim.
THIS is why we recommend to
L every worker, Communist or
non Communist, the October issue

of the Communist Party.
We challenge any worker to fina
single non-Conmunist piece Of
literature that would give in con-

luation, of the meaning of the work
ers' struggles and of the ways to
improve those struggles, such as is
contained in Comrade PROVIDERS

it was an organization to spy on

Then why was it necessary to

"You say in your letter that you

That's a broad term. l leave
that for anybody's definition"
The National Civic Federation,
too, is patriotic organization. Why
didn't you join that instead of the
Order of 1872"
Brooks hand went through his
hair. His lips closed into an even
thinner line.
II can't tell" he said finally after
long pause.
You learn lot from the SEN
ators and congressman you come in
contact with. Did your father ever
ask you for any information?"
I'VE talked about general sub
jects. Of course, he asked me ques-
tons, but they were general sub
jects-the sort that anyone would

DO you know that the Order of

and espionage?"
II don't know what the organ

Then why don't you resign?"
Brooks looked blankly at me for q
moment and at the man still read

page of the newspaper.
Finally a sheepish grin spread
over Brooks face.

SYNTHETIC VITAMIN CON-
QUERS DISEASE .--,

Ascorbic acid, the synthetic vita
min G, has produced some striking
cures in its first actual use on pa
tents. The Byi i5h Association Tor
the Advancement Of Science. was n
formed by Professor SCENT Gyor. vi
of Hungary that the hereditary dis
ease of bleeding, known as hemo-
philia. and several other diseases
were seemingly cured by the arti-
fetal form of the vitamin.
The cures were all the more
striking since these diseases had not
been connected with lack of vita
min. They suggest that mankind
is suffering much more graYaly
from a lack Of vitamin c than
has hitherto been supposed.
Disfguring colorations of the skin
brought on illness were also made
to vanish by using ascorbic acid.
The vitamin was employed to
bleach out patients suffering from
Addison's disease which produced
a severe yellow color
The exploration of vitamin G is
one of the triumps Of current SCI
ence Within period of two years
the vitsmin has been identified, its
chemical composition determined,
and its synthetic form developed
in the laboratory Today the pure
asccrbic acid is available for many
uses in industry and medicine.

alone. called, THE Struggle for the
United Front" would be sufficient
for any intelligent worker to under
stand his own place ana his tasks
in the labor movement at the
present time Clearly, soberly, with
an objectivity which is born out
of profound understanding of the
social forces in American history
today, and with a hidden passion
which makes every statement
charged with power, the report
leads you through the various
phases of the American class front.
The crisis of tie New Deal; the
growth of capitalist profits accom-
panied by a further lowering Of the
living standards of the masses; the
increase in unemployment, the out
look for the winter when, accord
ing to official statements, there will
be no less than 22,000,000 people
on the relief rolls, the reaction of
the workers as expressed in the
huge strike wave, the lessons Of
the recent strikes with a special
emphasis on the Marine Workers
strike on the Pacific Coast and the
four-day general strike in San
Francisco, the role of the Commu-
mist Party in the strike movements,
its achievements and its mistakes,
the struggles of the Communist
Party for a United Front, the ten
denotes towards the United Front
among the lower ranks Of the So
cislist Party and among the local
unions-all this, we repeat, is Of
immense Importance not only to
every Communist, but to every
worker.
THREE more articles in this issue
1 deal with the strike movement
and all of them are full Of material
which will be stimulating to work
ers. The resolution on the Lessons
of Recent Strike Struggles in the
U. S. A." adopted at the Central
Committee meeting, is really more
than resolution. 1t is the judg-
ment of the Party on the central
problem of the life of the American
working class. 1t is a careful,
realistic analysis of the strike
movements of last summer with a
special view Of the general strike
in San Francisco and it Is direc-
tive for the workers regarding the
line to be followed and the tactics
to be applied to develop and
strengthen the strike movement and
lead it to victories.

OXYGEN MADE RADIOACTIVE

Oxygen is the latest element to be
made radioactive by atomic bonn
bardment. DIS. Stanley Livingston
and Edwin Mcmillan of the Unive--
sity OF California used the cores Of
the newly discovered heavyweight
hydrogen to change oxygen from its
ordinary form to a special radio
active kind which breaks up spon-
taneously. About one atom of oXy-
gen was changed for every million
heavy-hydrogen bullets that were
used. These synthetic radioactive
clements open up the possibility Of
cheaper radioactive treatment for
cancer.
