wind through the bracing wires
eliminated, will be possible in the
near future, it is believed here.
Early next year the Bristol Air
craft Company will market a radial
aero engine which is the quietest
motor ever fitted to a flying ma
chine After 10 years of expert
mentS the firms engineers have per-
fected, on a commercial scale, a
sleeve-valve engine capable of oper-
ating at the high stresses necessary
IN an aero motor.
For several months a 500 horse
power unit, weighing only $50 pounds
has been in operation with different
type aircraft. 1t has been tried by
the Air Ministry, whose experts have
subjected it to more stringent tests
than usual.
Using the Sleeve-valve system for
aircraft means several advantages.
The size of the engine is less, the
heat generated in the exhaust pipes
is lowered, petrol and oil consump-
ton is smaller, and noise is consid-
erably reduced.
The Bristol engineers believe that
this type engine could, with effec-
tive SilencerS and expansion cham
bers, be made almost as noiseless as
that of a luxury motor car.

Chalmers stopped and picked I'D the
$50 bill which lay rejected on the
floor. She put it back into her
purse mechanically Then she went
upstairs to the room which had been
hers as a child.
The room itself did not interest
her, except as it concerned the girl
who had just been in it. Elaine
saw that the bed was freshly made
with clean linen. that the rumpled
bedding was lying in a neat little
stack in the hall
Everything in the room was i'm
maculate; a window was partly
opened, the empty waste basket
stood Squarely and neatly under the
desk, dresser drawers were lined
with Clearly folded paper.
Elaine Chalmers thought. She
must have gotten up early TO co
all this" Her heart smote her. she
did not know why.
In all that orderly room there was
but one diScordant note. A heap
of clothes lay in Wild disorder on a
chair where they had been hastily
thrown in the last 10 minutes of the
rooms occupancy.
Elaine was thinking. q guess I

course of action.
The noise of her own diSh-clat-

was both amazed and relieved now
to find the crisis over.

masses of whites we're supposed to
have as a matter of course. Before
we go further into that, however, we
shall look at Lincoln as the vacillat-
ing wartime President.
Faithful Politician
Lincoln was a politician who
served his party faithfully. That
party was, of course, the Republic
can. The Republican Party had re-
Gently beer organized to carry out
the wishes of the people in the
North who wanted slavery checked.
The party represented the interests
Of the growing young capitalist
class. Unless the growth u slavery
was checked, capitalism could never
spread throughout the great Aineri-
can continent. Slavery was a hold
over from feudalism; capitalism was
new and vital and strong. 1t was
then the society of the future,
whereas slavery represented a So
cial order that had been buried
everywhere except in the southern
part of the United States.
When Lincoln, therefore, seemed
to hate slavery he was rejecting
the attitude of the class which con-
trolled his party, When he seemed
to waver, to vacillate, in his atti-
tude toward the South, it was be-
cause the Republican Party itself
wavered He could not act indie
pendently of his bosses, the men
who furnished money to keep the
Republican Party going.
Some of the abolitionists did not
understand these facts. They ac-
cused Lincoln Of weakness. One of
his most persistent accusers was
Horace Gre5ley, editor of the New
York Tribune. Greeley published an
open letter in his paper, emitting
it ''Tne Prayer of Twenty Millions"
During the course of this letter
Greeley suggested that Lincoln
write to the United Syates Minis
tiers in Europe and ask them to say
candidly whether the seeming sub
ssrviency of your policy to the
slaveholding, slave-upholding in
terests, is not the perplexity, the
despair of statesmen and of parties,
and be adrnonished by the general
answer"
Greeley forgot that Lincoln was
acting that way because the Re-
publican Party did not want to hurt
the South rulers too much. To free
the slaves would be a severe blow to

Literature
10 the Masses
Hour Not to Reach the Millions

Philadelphia is one of the largest districts in
the country one would expect that a good-sized
order would be sent from Philadelphia for the two
new pamphlets which have Just been published,
THE Assassination of Kirov" by NJ. Katz, ard
How Do We Raise the Question of a Labor Party?'
Instead the District Literature Department
in Philadelphia ordered 100 copies of the Labor
Party pamphlet and rs copies of "The Assassina-
ton of Kirov"
The Kirov assassination and the counter meas
ures against the White Guardists in the Soviet
Union are being utilized by the capitalists and their
lackeys of all shades as the starting point for a
furious campaign of lies and Islander against the
Soviet Union With the workers anxious to learn
the political implications behind the assassination
of Kirov Philadelphia orders IS copies of this
pamphlet
The Labor Party question is causing tremen-
dous amount of discussion among workers and they
are thirsting for clarity on the Communist APP
proach to the question. The Philadelphia district
is going to satisfy this thirst with 100 copies Of the
Labor Party pamphlet.
What is wrong here? What is responsible for
this short -sightedness the part of the Phiade-
phia Literature Department? The answer is: a
lack of political aliveness failure to keep an ear
to the ground; moving along complacently in the
same old groove no Imagination no initiative, no
pep.

the Literature Department in Philadelphia get to-
gsther with the Org. Dept which arranges meet
ings and with the Agit-Prop Dept. which directs
the discussions and our counter campaign against
the attacks on the Soviet Union? Did they
innate their potential outlets for these pamphlets
and make plans to use them up to the hilt?
Evidently not. The Literature Department must
have figured something like this: We'll order a
few and if they sell then Wen order some more
Instead of stimulating the sentiments and interests
of the workers We are dragging along in the wake
of their desires
This attitude must be uprooted To remain
satisfied with present literature distribution will
be fatal to the huge publishing program now being
embarked upon by The Literature Commission.
Literature directors in districts sections and units,
and literature agents in mass organizations must
constantly, persistenty, continuously work out new
and improved methods of distributing literature
among the workers. Above all they must always
keep In mind the necessity today of getting our
literature into the hands of thousands of workers
Otherwise will not be able to carry out our
task of REACHING THE MILLIONS.

More on the Labor Party


Question: II the Labor Party that the Commu-
nis propose is not to be reformst will It be revolu-
tionsry; and in that case why do we need two
revolutionary parties in the United Ststes?-V T
Answer: The Communist Party stands for class
struggle Labor Party which will further the de-
veopment Of class consciousness among the work.
ers and further their class battles. But there is
only one-and there can only be one-reyolutionary
party in the United States
The one revolutionary party is the Communist
Party 1t is the vanguard of the working class and
represents the general and lasting interests Of all
workers BY its ability to maintain inseparsbe ties
with the masses, by providing them with correct
political leadership which is verified by the daily
experiences Of the workers the Communist Party
will lead the working class toward the revolution
airy overthrow Of capitalism.
This does not mean, however, that the Labor
Party which the Communists propose would be
reformist party carrying out policy Of class COLI
liberation with the capitalists. On the contrary
the Communists are fighting for Labor Party with
a class struggle program. Such q party would put
forward demands closely connected with the strug-
giles of the masses for relief unemployment insur-
ance higher wages, genuine labor unions and so on.
This kind of Labor Party based on the trade
unions and the mass organizations Of the workers,
while at the moment, not accepting the full reYo-
lutionary program of the Communist Party, would
ing class and speed-up revolutionary developments
in this country. BY accepting class struggle prin-
Ciplss the basis for its struggles the Labor Party
would teach the workers that only class battles
against the capitalists can win their economic and
political demands
Through these daily struggles and through this
independent class political action, the present
oreakaway of workers from the old capitalist parties
would be directed towards the Communist Party
and its fight for the revolutionary emancipation Of
the toilng population from the oppression and ex-
ploitation of capitalism
Thus it can be seen that the Communists do
not propose to build up reformist Labor Party
which would be controlled by the labor lieutenants
Of the capitalist class The Communist Party by
participating with the masses in broad class strig-
gle Labor Party will further their class conscious
ness. 1t will educate them through their experiences
and struggles so that the common fight against the
interests Of private property will lead to the
