STRUGGLE AGAINST
WHITE CHAUVINISM
is URGED AS VITAL

the white workers, directly support
ing the reactionary program Of the
japanese movement and making
overthres to the organizations; and
when the comrades attempted to
ask questions they were promptly
ordered to leave the meeting BY the
chairman after he had been called
into conference by DR.. Sweet.
Therefore the extent of the be-
trayal and snti-Party. working
class activities of Billups can only
be properly estimated and appre-
ciated on the basis of the analysis
Of the activities, program and con-
nections Of the Negro national re-
formist wing of the Republican
lynch party of Hoover fame, for
which Billups had become repre-
sentative within the Communist
Party.
The Party, the Negro masses and
the revolutionary movement would
misjudge and underestimate the
danger of the activities Of Billups
if We did not reason in the follow
ing manner, on the basis of Bulups
known connections and activities:
the copying Of Party forms and
methods of organization by the Ne
gro politicians and the attempt to
use these forms and methods
against the Party by Roxborough
and Sweet; the fascist terror drive
against the Party in the Negro sec
ton, while Sweet and Roxborough
activities were protected by the DO
lice, especially preceding the pri-
maries and up to the elections. the
ordering of Communists from
Sweets and Roxborough's meetings
and the general activity of the
politicians and their knowledge
about the inner activities of the
Party, that. the information given
to Sweet, RoXborough-Toy and the
Republican Party of Wayne County
and the State, became the property
Of and the guide to the tactics and
attacks of the Republican Party,
the prosecutors office and the DO
lice. Consequently the Party, the
Negro masses and the revolutionary
movement can only understand the
activities Of BillupS as directly
stool-pigeoning for the Republican
politicians, and indirectly for the
police. Such is the inevitable trend
of political responsibility, degen-
Grafton and betrayal against which
the Party, the Negro masses ana
the revolutionary movement must
constantly be on guard.
The activities of Billups are
directly analogous to those of the
renegade, George Padmore, who
operates on an international scale.
the only difference in the position
of Padmore and Billups in the
Communist Party; and the ability
of the two agents, of which Pad
more had the greater advantage in
serving the enemies of the working
class and the Negro people
The political degeneration of
Billups is characteristic of the
process going on before our very
eyes in capitalist society, and par
ticularly among the Negro reform
ist agents of the capitalist class,
and is an exact reflection of the
same: that is the union of all
forms Of vice, crime, disease, pros
titution, policy racket, bootlegging,
etc, and the vendors of the vices,
into systems and organizations,
making them legitimate businesses
as a part Of the spoils system of the
capitalist political parties, the mon
opoly over which, in the Negro Sec
ton especially, is the privilege given

ACCIDENT VICTIM LOSES MIND AS
 RESULT OF CRASH

Dmitri Lutzenko, who suffered a head injury in the automobile crash on the Glacier highway April 28, when John Rojnovsky was killed, was declared mentally unbalanced by jury in Commissioner J. F. Mullen's court this morning and he will be taken to hospital in the states on the first boat going south.
 Lutzenko, who has been in St. Ann's hospital since the accident, suffered a fractured skull and the finding of the jury was that the injury had affected his mind. His side which was paralyzed as result of the crash, is improved, but the injured man has failed to gain his rational mentality, it was reported.

'Sarasen Can't See Anybody On Horizon for No. 4 Spot
 As AH-Time Colfing Creat

Another contrast between the olc and new generation: We went il, for records. This crowd shoots fol money. You don't see any of these fellows spending thousands of dol lars trying to win the British open Nope, they'd rather stay home and pick up cash in other journeys, ex- hibitions and in giving lessons"
 Sarazen doubts if anyone ever will duplicate Bobby Jones feat of win ming the four major crowns in a single season. He gives three req sons:
 l. The Jones type are very few and very far apart.
 z. Tournament schedules are so arranged now that it is virtually an inpoosibility fer a golfer to enter all four events.
 3. Ise oneS with the greatest chances or winning all four are pro- fes-icnals and are not eligible for the amateur competitions.
 IF 9wever when a professional has his game down well enough to win the American and British open championships in one year as I did in 1892" Gene said, Its just the same as grand slam for it isn't much doubt but that he'd go through the amateur ranks like a hurricane
 Gene figures a golfer trying to win the two opens in one year is a 1c,Cco to shot. He's won out, though, and he's planning to do it again this year.
 "1ls Augusta national, the na- ticnal open, and the British open tha. would be some sort of a grand slam, wouldn't it?" he asked.

LIGHTS ARE TO
 WARN DRIVERS,
 500-MILE RUN
New System of Traffic Sig nals in Effect for
 Big Auto Race

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23. - An electric signal system will keep drivers in the forthcoming 5oo-mi,s automobile race here advised as tc traffic conditions around the 21k mile track.
 When the green light is on, the pilots may go as fast as they like. When the yellow light flashes, they must slow down to SO miles an hour and not try to improve their positions.
 The yellow light will indicate that an accident has occurred or something else has happened to block a portion of the track. The same light will be used to slow down drivers in the event of rain
 Motion picture cameras will func- tion whenever the yellow light is cn to record the activities of the drivers. The cameras will sweep the entire course and will catch any driver who attempts to improve his position.
 There have been complaints in the past that some drivers gained many seconds time by speeding once they were out of sight of of- ficials.
 The electrical system will replace the old hand method of flag way ing at the finish line. The lights will be placed at six vantage points within the oval course. Speedway officials say the signals thus will reach every driver at the same instant.
 Drivers competing in the classic May 30 already are at the track, making ready for the qualifying trials now beginning. The B fast est cars will be eligible to start. The qualifying trials are 25 miles long and the cars must average at least 100 miles per hour.

Nh- 'tcidteu fIeSS SpOrtS WFltofJ
 WASHINGTON, May 23-There were Harry Vardon, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones-but the chap who will become No. 4 among the all- time golfing masters hasn't project ed his figure above the horizon yet. He's probably studying geography and history in a grade school now.
 The author of this opinion is none other than your old pal, Gene Sarazen, the little Italian pro who has been-and is-some shakes of golfer himself.
 In fact, if No 4 man had to be named in hurry, the nomination most likely would go to Gene, who hasn't taken much bunker sand from anyone in recent years and is perhaps the favorite-if anyone is to win the U. $. open in June at Oakmont.
 There's no one in the field now who'll go down in the records as another Vardon, Hagen or Jones. !" says Gene. There arc some very good golfers, yes, some that are al most unbeatable at times, but they aren't consistent masters.
 Current Crop Muffs Chance
 "Vardon dominated his field. Ha- gen came along and did it, too. Then Jones swent the field for years. This new bunch Of players have had their chance but they haven't grasped it. The veterans Hagen, Armour, MacSmith and even old Gene himself. are still in there winning. They haven't been top pied over by the avalanche of youth" he said.

Italy and Ethiopia

Immediate causes of the threat of war between
Italy and Ethiopia are somewhat obscure but they
arise from treaty disputes and mutual ealouses of
long standing. Ethiopia borders two of Italys
African colonies, Eritrea and Somaliland and Italy
has sought for many to establish protectorate
over Ethiopia.
An effort to establish such protectorate was
made far back 1889, but it was decisively de-
feated in 1885, when at the battle of Adowa an army
OF 1000 Italians was annihiated by $4,000 Eth
iopians under King Menelek.
Ethiopia has an estimated population of about 10
million, while Italy has than A million The
Italians would have great advantage in numbers
and in modern war equipment, but would have to
fight the war on far distant soil, in a mountainous
country from which it might be difficult to dslodge
the native Philippians.
Even if successful, it doubtful that Italy
would gain enough to offset the great losses in
and money which her victory would inevitably cost
Emperor Halle Seassie, of Ethiopia, has defied Mus
solin and declares his people will fight the death
to maintain their independence
Efforts are being made by the League of Nations
and also by England and France, to avert war, but
owing to the stubborness of both Mussolni and Sc
lassie the prospects for continued peace do ap
pear bright There is also grave danger that in
case of war other nations might become involved
with another European conflict among the POSSIBLE

Tragedy AS Teacher

It seems that it often takes appalling tragedy
to impress mankind with the necessity for ordinary
safety precautions and tragedy fails to teach
its lesson in most cases.
The first systematic effort to make theatres fire
proof followed the Iroquois fire in Chicago in 1903,
when 574 persons lost their lives although 600 had
died in theatre fire in Trenton N. u, far back
1872, and 2S3 had met similar fate in Brooklyn
in 1876.
new policy of constructing munitions depots
in unsettled followed the explosion of the Lake
Denmark arsenal in 1926 The sinking of the Vestris
has brought about the adoption of code Of
safety at sea, framed by representatives Of IS
tons. The explosion of X-ray films in the Cleveland
Clinic, causing the loss of than 200 lives, has
resulted in survey of conditions in hospitals
throughout the country in effort to prevent SIM
liar disasters in future.
Thus great tragedies sometimes to teach
their costly lessons; too late, however to do their
victims any good.

The body, he noticed, had peculiar shape, and he
decided to operate Upon cutting the snake OPEN he
found inside the entire body of a smaller snake,
which had swallowed almost foot of the larger

snakes in death struggle, and that snake No.
I, thesmaller snake, had obtained the first advan-
tage by swallowing the tail of his larger opponent.
He apparently found that he had taken too big a
chew, however, and from there on the struggle was
reversed. Snake No. took the advantage and COM
pletely swallowed the smaller snake. But in the swal-
lowing he unfortunately had to swallow portion of
