hadn't eaten anything since yester-

stand as straight as he wanted to.
His shoulders were tired. They

Good for Little Mike!

QUESTION: Why do kids believe everything their
parents sayP I know a kid whose father is
NaZ and he is a Nazi, too though tried to ex-
plain to him In my school one day he yelled out
He'll Hitler! I said to him after school, what's the
big idea? And he yelled, He'll Hitler! again. SO
I said, Listen, mister, you ought to cut that out
He said, why? And then he Said you're dirty
Jew and red And then said, do you know what
Hitler stands for? And he said yes, he stands for
killing all the Jews. So said, why does he want
to kill the Jews9 And he answered, because the
Jews are greedy and steal all our money. So I
said, Listen, Vincent, don't you know any poor
Jews? My father is poor know lots of other
poor Jews who are workers. too. Only the capital
lists have money. Most capitalists aren't Jews. so
he said, you're crazy Michael. So I said TIL bet
you two cents most capitalists are Christians. But
he wouldn't bet me, he only yelled He'll Hitler. So
I said listen mister, don't say that around the
classroom because some of us kids don't like it.
because we're Jews. So he said, my father told
me no Jews will ever go to heaven, but to hell.
So said, there's no hell and there's no heaven,
and that's true. So he said, my father told me
it is true. So said there must be something wrong
than your father. So had to go home for my
lunch but why do kids believe their fathers so
much they won't take any one else's word2
Answer; Mike you gave this kid all the right
answers, and you should argue with him again.
1t is true most kids and nearly all grownups follow
all the fooshness their fathers believe in, even
though it has been proved to be wrong thousand
times. This is one Of the main troubles with the
world, and why we have wars, poverty and capital
ism.
At the same time, people learn. Look at the
way people who couldn't read or write in the old
Russia and hated the Communists, now are study
ing and working for Communism by the millions
Even the Nazis win learn. Many of them are work
ers and think Hitler help them, so they believe
everything he says. But when they find out he
is fooing them millions of them will come to hate
him, and will put him out of existence Some
times it takes time for the people to learn, but we
know that they do learn, and will. Keep it up,
Mike.

Nail Their Lies!

QUESTION: Why does the Borden Milk company
in all their ads say they have the best milk but
isn't milk right from the COW betterP
Answer Yes there's no doubt milk right from
= healthy COW is the only kind of milk to drink
But since we live in cities, we must do the best
we can and get our milk day old in bottles All
the milk companies say the same thing about their
own brand of milk as do the Borden's This is
because they want to sell more milk than the other
companies, and so they tell lies to the people This
is known as advertising, and is allowed under CAPT.
talism. But lot of us don't believe most adver-
Using, and neither should you.
Question; Why do they all say around My school
that the Italian kids are tough and nasty lot?
Answer For the same reason that the Nazi
kid told you he hated Jews Under capitalism the
workers are taught to hate each other instead of
being friends. This is so that they will be SO busy
hghting each other that they will forget to fight
the greedy capitalists who rob them You can see
how this is in New York, where Jews Germans
Italians, Negroes, Irish, Swedes. Americans and
other races all work in the same factories and for
the same bosses. The bosses don't want these
workers to join union and fight for better wages,
So they teach them to hate each other SO much
that the workers are hard, very often to organize
IN one union When they tell you the Italian kids
are worse than any other kids, just answer them
that this is lie and that any kid whose father
Is worker is as good as any other workers kid.

Question: Why is there so much exaggeration
in the reports and news stories in the Daily Worker
and other publications Of the revolutionary press?
Marine Worker
Answer: The policy of the Daily Worker is never
to introduce the slightest distortion Of facts The
Communist press has nothing to conceal or falsify
To win End to hold the confidence OF the workers
the Communist Press at all times sticks to facts
Truth is on the side Of the working class and
every distortion ana exaggeration would be blow
against the revolutionary movement since it would
make workers distrust the revolutionary press and
the principles and doctrines which it propagates
OF course, mistakes are made and sometimes an
eIaggeration creeps into a news item article.
But these are corrected as soon as they aer caught
Readers should Immediately call the papers atten-
ton TO any mistake or shortcoming. They viii be
remedied Immediately.
Communists do not shut their eyes to mistakes
They must be corrected. In criticizing its short
comings tho revolutionary movement strengthens
its position and consolidates its forces 1t could
not progress if it did not make up its shortcomings
if it did not welcome honest criticism.
On the other hand, we must remember that the
capitalist class carries on steady campaign of dis
tortion and eXaggeration about the fundamental
facts Of existence under capitalism. What could be
a greater distortion than the way the bourgeois
press deals with the crisis with strikes or with any
workers activity for better conditions or higher
wages? Behind the pretense Of all the news that's
fit to print the news is doctored to suit the needs
of the capitalists. The worst SANDERS against the
Soviet Union for example, are deliberately spash6d
the front pages, while the news of the condi-
ton Of the workers in the United States is sup
pressed
In fact the source Of the notion that the Com
munist press distorts the is deliberately spread
by the capitalist press to conceal their own mis-
handling Of the truth. BY exposing the falsehoods
printed in the capitalist newspapers, and by cor
recting any error that appears in our press we
will make progress in proving just who lies about
facts.

War" he shouted. They want
to send children like these to war F.!
You don't know what it is" he
ragged at the huge man. Il went
to war, I know what it is. saw
the bloody lie. What did I get?
Medals, and no work, no home.
They're right. We mustn't let our
kids be killed any more :"
The girls eyes were bright. She
spoke quickly, eagerly, accentuating
her words with gestures. you see,
this man is not Communist. But
he has been through the war. He
knows what we are doing is right.
What is all that suffering worth?
We, the workers, fight the war,
we're the ones who are killed, dis
figured. Then we are refused
work-kicked out of our homes. But
the munitions makers, the stock
holders, the steel kings, mill owners
and manufacturers make plenty of
money"
The big man tried to laugh but
it turned into a queer little pig
soueal. Red-faced he walked away,
his paunch trembling nervously.
JOE suddenly knew why the songs
y sounded familiar. His heart
beat seemed to keep time with the
drum.
The brown eyes were upon him.
"Will you come to our meeting
comrade?"
"Ill see" he answered, but even
then he knew he would be there.
A question grappled with his throat
and sought release.
Can lis it all right If march
with them?"
why, Of course. We want every
worker to march with US" Again
the brown eyes were smiling.
Goodbye, comrade." She gripped
his hand. Then ran on to distribute
the leaflets.
Now he felt he must cry out. Must
| speak. Not as an individual bu'
with the voice Of the mass, like the
/ others. They were calling to the
people on the sidewalks; Fellow
workers, join our ranks"
The music was buoyant. Alive
They were singing The Interna-
tional. Fists clenehed.
He felt the impress Of her strons
fingers fer long time. Like ;
magnet that had drawn him bacl
into life.

CRIME EXPERT
TERMS POLICE
TRAINING POOR

BOSTON, Oct 26. UP) - Albert
Morris. professor of criminology at
Boston University, believes every
policeman in the United States
should be educated and trained ac-
cording to the European system.
In Europe police receive two
years training, whereas police here
usually study for only few
months.
Morris suggests a course Of at
least three months full-time train
ing, five to eight hours a day In
that time the pupil could dis
cover if he really IS fitted for the
job. he said. If 50. ne might be
appointed to the force for a years
probationary period, during which
he would do field work part of the
time. and continue his training
three or four afternoons a week.
They should learn the use of
police weapons, have a physical
education and a first-aid course, =
he said. Squad tactics and a
knowledge of city ordinances
should also be included and every
policeman should know the laws
covering arrest an the gathering

GOLD DEPOSITS

MONTREAL. Get. 26 U.P'-Can-
ada, with its almost limitless un-
developed gold and other mineral
deposits, is in a strategic position to
lead the world out of the depression.
Robert Hunter, Santa Barbara, Cal,
economist and sociologist believes.
Interviewed during a visit here.
Hunter declared the Dominion could
attain a standard of prosperity as
yet undreamed of-proyided that no
unforeseen government obstacles are
imposed
The problem, he said. was TO get
these resources, especially gold, out
of the ground, and the Canadian
Government should offer every in
ducement to foreign capital to
come into the country.
If you can get S100,00000O a year
of outside money to be spent in this
country for exploration purposes, and
another s1OO.OO0.O0O to be used in
development of the deposits discoy-
cred, you would solve the unemploy-
ment problem in this country in no

have 10 to Is years in which to repay
the investment, which would have
