A STRING OF CHINKAPINS
-By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Some of our old sayings have
been so twisted and distorted as
to have departed entirely from
the original idea. For instance,
you have heard the maxim: "Stuff
cold and starve a fever" Or
iginally it is said, that adage
went this way:
'If you stuff a cold, you will
have fever to starve."
Some of our commentators
have suddenly discovered that for
some reason or other Japan is
suspicious of us. Isn't that
strange? If some country should
Tell you that you could not put
foot on its soil and that if you
owned any land there, you would
have to give it up, would that
make you suspicious of that coun-
try? You certainly wouldn't feel
that anything had been done to
arouse your unbounded conf
dence in that nation.
When we SING I'm the Sweet
By-andby," we think, if we think
at all, Of time in the distant
future. Yet when the Bible was
translated, "by and by. meant
Immediately" Thus we frequent
ly say what We don't mean, and
mean THAT we don't say.
If you were in France looking
for an apartment, and should see
one bearing the placard: "This
apartment for rent presently
YOU might say TO yourself, "Well.
that won't do me any good, for
want one right now" But in
French, presently" means right
now.
So if. st. Peter says to you,
"Come in by-and-by," or if a
French landlord advises, "You
may have these rooms presently"
you can walk right up. and walk
right in,

STOCK MANIPULATION
AFFECTS US ALL s.
lRY BRUCE CATTONl

Suppose that you are business man and
that You runa little garage just around the
corner off Main street You happen to
need money to build an addition to your
garage, or to install new equipment; SO
you go to- your bank and ask for a loan.
Your business is doing we'll enough and
your reputation is good, and as far as your
own condition goes there's no reason why
you shouldn't get your money.
Now suppose that down in New York
certain clever gentlemen have banded to-
gether to conduct raid on the stock mar
ket. They have formed a pool, hired a
specialist to act for them, and by the va
rious devices available have set to work to
rig the market and make a killing.
It's part of their game, let us say, to
beat down the price of certain stock.
They have plenty of money and they know
the ropes, so they succeed. The stock
slides off some Is or 20 points. Other
stocks dip more or less in sympathy.
Your banker, meditating on his out
standing loans, which rest on collateral,
which in turn is affected by the days trad
ing, decides - sensibly enough - that he
must tighten up. So you don't get your
loan, and the money which you would
have put into the channels of trade goes
unspent, and the improvements you had
planned FOR your business don't get made
And that is how you have direct in,
terest iRksxhat happens in the stock mar,
met, even though you never bought d
dimes worth of securities in your life.
Which, in turn, is why the proposed fed
eral regulation of stock exchanges is not
merely a thing which affects brokers, III
vestors and spectators.
A capitalistic society cannot function
without some sort of securities market
where there can be free flow of avail:
able capital But the forces set in motion
by the operation of such market are 81
complex and reach so far that it is essen.
tial to society as whole that that flow Of
capital be truly free.
Men who pervert the exchange into a
gambling hall, and manipulate stock levels
arbitrarily for their own enrichment, are
not simply spearing suckers; they are af-
fecting.the daily business of people who
have no direct. connection with the stock
marketeat-ail.
They are standing between industry ami
that free flow of capital essential to indus
try's wellzbeing ..... .
That is the point to keep in mind in this
matter Of stock exchange regulation.

Among the detailed proposals
given to the convention by Com

failures in the Detroit district were:
The placing in the forefront more
sharply the building of the Auto
Workers Union; continue united

building of nuclei in auto factories;
the recruiting of the best and most
militant auto workers for the Com
munist Party.
For the first time in her life, a
white Southern textile woman, del
egate to the convention, stepped
before SO large an audience to speak
and make motion. That proposal
was that the convention send a
telegram of revolutionary greetings
to Angelo Herndon, Negro class war
prisoner, imprisoned in Fulton
Tower Prison, Atlanta, Georgia, SER
wing a 20-year sentence for his revo-
lutionary activity.
The whole convention rose and
cheered Comrade Herndon after the
reading of the following telegram:

1.-THE success of this work depends
on the cooperation and the support

district and section committees. In
the success of this work we will
have tens of thousands of workers
in the A. F. of L. unions drawn
into a revolutionary role, under the
leadership of the Communist Party,
and we will bring greater masses
into conflict against the betraying
bureaucrats."
In trade union work the center
of attention was drawn to the two
dangers: failure to work within the
A. F. of L., and against tendencies
that might lead toward liquidations
Of the revolutionary trade unions.
Comrade MacKawain, Negro del
egate from the New York District,
in his contribution to the discussion,
told how the Convention clarified
him on some very basic issues, es-
pecially the question of the fight
against white chauvinism and petty.

considerable applause. But as dis
cussion developed and workers took
the floor and demanded action on
concrete proposals of the Auto
Workers Union, Smith was more
and more compelled to unmask
himself.
He declared that not all A. F.

Collins, who has been playing the

when he went to Washington, he
got mixed up with the others.
Wilson proposed everybody go on
the picket line next morning, but
Smith opposed this, saying this
would result in a fight among the
workers.
Typical Demagogy
This was typical of the demagogic
arguments used by Smith TO avoid
a real fight against the SelIout plans
OF the A. F. of L. leaders.
On the question Of the joint meet
ing in Arena Gardens, Smith said
he would have to take this up with
the MESA. district committee,
which does not meet until Friday.
He also launched into a virulent
attack on the Auto Workers Union.
In contrast to the reception he re-
ceived earlier in the evening.
Smiths later remarks drew no ap-
plause.
In the midst Of the meeting came
news of the agreement negotiated
by the A. F. of L. leaders and the
national automobile labor board,
and McGrady, ending the Motor
Products strike.
Despite Smiths opposition, the
meeting voted to go on the picket
lines next morning and explain to
the workers what happened at the
meeting. While it did not succeed
in organizing Immediately united
action of the A. F. of L., MESA.
and Auto Workers Union, it marked
an important step forward in the
exposure of Smith, who Is one of

learned from the British Independ-

once a member, how to use radical
phrases to mask the most treacher-
