When the Socialist Party leaders
celebrate Independence Day in
Union Square on July 4th, the So
cialist workers and students who
gather to hear them speak will re-
ceiye an unusual leaflet. This leaf
let, issued by the Workers Bookshop,
will invite them to visit the book
shop at so E. 18th ST., that same
day, where they will find literature
by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stain;
analysing the counter-revolutionary
character of the policies of the
leadership of the world Socialist
Parties, and exposing their inter-
national betrayals of the working
class.
For this special occasion, the book
shop will remain open from $3.50
am. until 3:15 pm. A corps Of
young workers have volunteered to
distribute 5000 such leaflets.
The growth in the sale of work
ing class literature in the past six
months through the Workers Book
Shop has been little short of phe-
nomenal. The average income of
the bookshop before November 1888
was about $50 a day. Now the aver
age income is more than $3.50, a
200 per cent increase in the sale
and distribution of literature. What
has caused this tremendous jump
in sales2
The bookshop attributes it to a
number of factors, chief among
which is the persistent drive of the
Literature Department of the Com
munist Party, constantly urging
workers to arm themselves with
theoretical knowledge as an indis-
pensable weapon in the class strug-
gle. Then there is the reduction
in the prices of books, pamphlets
and periodicals. Two sales have
been conducted by the Workers
Bookshops recently, and a third is
in full swing at the present time,
to last until July 7. During these
sales, workers are entitled to a 20
to so per cent discount on all their

What's Doing in the Workers
Schools of the u. S.

A LUNCHEON conference for the
IA entire faculty of the Workers
School in New York took place on
Saturday, June %, where about 45
instructors and representatives of
the students were present. Com
rade Browder delivered very in
structive address to those present,
in which he emphasized the i'm
pOrtance of bringing about real
Bolshevik result in the teaching of
MarxiSm-Leninism at our schools
He stressed the Importance of the
unity of theory and practice, and
pointed out that the general theory
must be linked up with the inmedi-
ate problems ana developments of
today. A discussion from the floor
followed, and many valuable sug-
gestions were made by the speakers.
During the summer months the
Workers School in New York is not
conducting any classes, but the
comrades of the school are utilizing
the time for the preparation of an
elaborate program for the next
year, beginning with the fall term
IN September.
This program will include, in
addition to the regular curriculum,
new features in the form of short
term courses, of four to five weeks
duration, in which special topics
will be taken up. Leading comrades
of the Central Committee have
agreed to participate as lecturers
and instructors in these courses.
These short term courses will also
include other comrades.
During the summer months the
Workers School expects to revise
good deal of the material used
heretofore, such as outlines and
reading references.

FIRST LESSON
BY WIN ROLFE

Our burden has hardened with summer
Winters meant freezing
but not this rotting heat invading the bodys core
More than the of cold and the tissues drying
than the spirits slow congeang
do we suffer now, in summer.
Heat is a slow assassin. Heat
relentlessy drives dull
blunt bullets of decay into flesh of stern
strong-moded texture; and we must turn
in vain to winters sleet
which causes equal pain.
And all the while
inherited poverty
ironically willed us by fathers of a richer brood
(who need not wthe in heat or cold nor want for food
breeds in its squalor eyes through which we see
the path ahead, the path to struggle again.

''U.S.S.R. Political and
Human World Center, :"
Says ]. Waterman Wise

S. R. mainly to investigate the sta
tus of the Jew in a Soviet society.
And in expressing his findings he
spoke enthusiastically about the
fullness Of equality for Jew and
Gentiles alike and for all minority
peoples.
THE great difference of the sta
tus of the Jew in Europe and in
Soviet Russia is that in Europe the
great problem is what to do to the
Jews, while in the Soviet Union the
great Jewish problem is what to do
for them.
1T is perfectly clear now that
anti emitism and Communism are
irreconcilably opposed. For anti
Semitism makes an ecoonmic scape-
goat of the Jew, whereas Commu-
nism represents the determination
to end economic scape-goatisrn,
whether Of the Jew or any other
race or people"
Although Mr.. Wise admitted he
did not have the opportunity OF
making an investigation Of Bro
Bidjan, he stated that the pre-
liminary work already done reveals
a prospect Of peace and decent liy-
ing conditions which no Jew who
has the interest of his people
at heart can afford to ignore. This
is particularly true in view Of the
tragic fate Of Jewry in Germany
and Eastern Europe, where Fas-
cisnl-official and unomcial-daily
contrive to make the lot Of the Jew
more insupportable."
IN ANSWER to q question about
augmentation" in the Soviet
Union which capitalist sources have
hurled as a method of sIandering
the great strides toward Socialist
construction in the US.S.R., Wise
appeared doubtful
II know this" he replied THE
mental attitude and emotional con-
dition of the Soviet workers and
farmers seems more stable and op-
timistic than in any other country
in Europe.
THE Russian workers show
profound concern about the lot Of
workers in other countries. Also
incredulity, that in the so-called
advanced countries of Western Eu-
rope and America they continue to
tolerate oppression and injustices
inevitable under a capitalist re-
gime."

A charge of "whitewash" was plas-
tered today by Representative Nc
Farlane, Democrat of Texas, on the
report Of House investigating COM
mittee which found naval airplane
profits to be moderate and recon-
mended no changes in procedure.
The Texan spoke as he prepared a
minority report on the naval SUBJ
committees study into the Navy's air
plane purchases since 1926.
McFarlane charged that both the
Army and Navy Departments know
ingly" violated "the clear mandate of
Congress in purchasing their equip
ment" without competitive bidding.
When you get the report from the
Investigating Committee on Military
Affairs it will not be whitewash like
the majority report on another COM
mittee," he added, explaining that by
another committee" he meant the
naval affairs subcommittee.
Calculating that S761, 1,511,776 has
been spent for aviation in general
from 1929 through 1888. he said the
equipment has not stood up"
The Army's recent unfortunate
experience in carrying the mails shows
primarily the lack of proper equip
