izations to overcome our tagging
behind
AS a result of the discussion, the
comrades in Reading were not just
shocked by the realization of the
existing situation, but were also gall
vanized into taking action to change
this condition. Several decisions
were mare to this end. One was to
make every member reader of the
Daily Worker (Which was not pre-
viously the case). Each member was
required to give the name and adj
dress, to the section organizer, of
some non-Party worker to whom he
pledged to deliver Daily Worker
each day. A committee will check
up to see whether this worker re-
ceives his paper regularly. Each
comrade is responsible after a
months time to approach the work.

task, with the end in view of es-
tablishing first social contact with
these workers, then drawing them
into our activities and eventually
into the Party. Another check-up
in the light of the G. G. letter will
be carried through about the middle
of December.
This is not a pretentious plan,
but if carried through will mean
in very short time the doubling

effect, it will help to break down

join the Socialist Party as they
have done in France, Czechoslo~
vakia and elsewhere.
The American Trotzkyites are a
bit indignant that Goldman went
alone, not waiting for Cannon and
company who are also preparing
to do the same thing. In their
statement, Trotzkyites say that
Goldman disregarded the course
pursued by the League and joined
the Socialist Party as an indi-
vidual"
What has riled Jim" Cannon
is that this labor" attorney, who
helped break the strike in Min
neapolis, and in which pie Mr..
Cannon also had his finger joined
the Socialist Party, before he HIM
self took the action.
Together with Goldman another
Trotzkyite, Jack Scher, also a
lawyer, joined the Socialist Party.
1t is reported the other few re-
naming Trotzkyites are likewise
individually going over into the
camp of the Socialist Party.
This once more proves the COR
reetness of the analysis Of the
Communist Party that the Trotzky-
ties are only a wing of Social
Democracy and they are returning
into the ranks of the Socialist
Party because birds Of a feather
flock together"
Reverend Abraham Music, who
made bastard alliance with Can
non, swallowed hook, line and

theory and practice of the Trotz-
kyites, after proclaiming the ma

give blessing to the happy mer-
gers Of the counter-revolutionary
Trotzkyites with Abe Cahan, OneaI

Byrd Finds 2OO,O 900 Miles
OF Antarctica Without Land
Explorer and -Four Companions Spend
Three Hours on Flight to Within
200 Miles of South Pole.

Flight conditions were bad. The
take-off was made at 1888 am. in
a fine snow with a light cloud ceiling
at 400 feet. These conditions con-
tinued throughout the hop to the
farthest south point when black
cloud snowstorm forced the planes
return. The seaplane alighted on an
ice-inclosed lake beside the flagship
at 2:20 pm. 49,,
The main difficulty encountered was
that of compass variation due to the
proximity of the South Magnetic Pole.
Lack of sun prevented the admiral
from navigating through sights and
the magnetic compass deviated badly
Its variations were determined at the
take-off by heading the flagship, equip
ped with gyro compass, straight south
and flying over the surface vessel three
times to determine which way the air
planes magnetic compass pointed IN
relation to the lie of the ship.
From that time on the plane was
handled mainly by dead reckoning:
The only. living things which the
flyers saw were q few penguins on the
icebergs.
The flight carried the explorers tc
a point approximately 700 miles from
the South Pole.

the Senate, Long announced he would
support it, explaining that he was salts

D. c. RUM REVENUE
IS PUT At S785,0|l)
Donovan Submits Figures
Based on Bill Submitted
by Commissioners.

Legalization Of the sale Of alcoholic
beverages. as proposed in the general
license system submitted by the District
Commissioners to Congress, would pro-
duce revenues totaling at least s785 900,
it was estimated today By Maj. Daniel
J. Donovan, District auditor.
In a memorandum submitted to Com
missioner George E. Allen, who super
vised drafting of the proposed liquor
bill. Maj. Donovan emphasized that this
was a conservative estimate, partic-
ularly as to revenues from taxes, and
said it was probable the first year S
revenue may amount to as much, II
not more than 100000.
The statement was prepared by Dono-
van in conference with Corporation
Counsel w. w. Bride and his principal
assistant, Vernon E. West, who per-
formed the actual work of drafting the
liquor bill Emphasizing that the fig
ures were as yet in rough state, the
auditor estimated sales taxes on alco-
holic beverages would bring in S270.000
and license fees S5l5.000.
Sets Up Organization.
The memorandum sets up a plan for
organization of an alcoholic beverage
control board and its staff. consisting of
20 persons in all. having total salary
cost of S7l $50. An allowance was made
for administrative expenses OF slO,56O
a year. This would make the total ad-
ministration cost S82, 900 annually.
The three members of the proposed
board would receive $4,000 year each.
There would be three assistants to the
corporation counsel one at $4,000 a
year and two at $4,000; secretary at
So 300; 10 inspectors and investigators
at $4,000 each, and stenographers, typ
lists and clerks with lower pay.
The estimates of revenue were predl-
Gated upon the licensing of a grand
total of 1895 places handling beverages.
Of these. 795 were classified as 'on sale"
and 1900 as ''off sale"
In preprohibition days here there
was limit of 300 placed on the num-
Der of bar rooms to be licensed.
Consumption Estimated.
The trio of officials used eighty
three -hundredths of a gallon as the
expected per capita consumption for
hard liquors With a tax of so cents
per gallon, the sales revenue would be
$21o 1000 a year.
For wine of more than IA per cent
alcoholic content, and champagne, a
per capita consumption of fourteen
| hundredths of a gallon was used, and
with a tax of so cents a gallon this
