LETTERS
JOHN THOMAS SPEAKS

JOHN THOMAS SPEAKS
Dear Editor:
/ should like to address an open
letter to the people Of Minneapolis
in general, and the audience in at
tendance at the Forum Of February
18th, in particular.
Realizing that no form of gov
eminent might be explained within
the paltry time of eight minutes,
and hoping to inject some life into
an otherwise drab discussion, /
took it upon myself to expound the
doctrines of the Communist party
mainly in it's position as to the
Negro, which it regards as one of
national scope to be solved by self
determination as a minority group.
So sincerely and militantly did /
discuss this question that many
went away with the annoying be-
lief that was a full-fledged Com
munist. l am not; however, neither
am / an ignorant red nor an in
tellectual jackass, as some inferred.
profess no creed except that of
search for the truth. If, and when
find it, I, too, shall attempt to
force it onto others.
If the people of Minneapolis are
interested enough, and they should
be, for it is a movement of the
working class, I would like to re-
quest the program committee of
the Forum to grant me one hour
instead of eight minutes and I will
trace Communism from its begin
ming, stating its history, its leaders,
its theories, it's defects, its conse-
quences, its significance to the
United States in such full detail as
will satisfy the most critical
pseudo-historian as was in atten-
dance at the last Forum. Inciden-
tally my only request to the latter
is that they spend a few hours
perusing the material that / have
spent years in studying. I guar
antee that for every good point in
Communism, / can find a defect
and that is true of every existing
government past, present, or on
paper.
John Frederick Thomas.

ECONOMIC EVOLUTION
Editor:
The history of the human race
is that largely of how the biped
known as man has acquired his
food, shelter and clothing. Every
living creature has been compelled
either to find sustenance or perish.
The evoluting society from the
| primitive gems, clan and phratery
of prehistoric times to the compli-
Gated Recommendation of today,
has been brought about by the eff
forts of the different parts of the
human family to organize or group
themselves together in order to
successfully combat conditions
which inhibit their chances to sur
vive. AS long as man was battling
with rugged nature and his four
footed enemies, the struggle was
that primarily of the human animal
per Sc, against the hostile environ
ment of the younger world. But
the coming Of the institution of hui
man slavery when society became
differentiated into opposing classes
of masters and slaves, the struggle
has not only been between man and
nature, but also between man and
man-class and class.

DISAPPOINTED

Editor:
I was among those who attended
the program Of the Senior Chorus
at st. Peters Church Sunday night.
Several weeks before / had heard
you make an informal talk at that
same church, which actually
thrilled the audience and myself,
because the talk had basic food for
thought and pointed out a logical
program for local Negroes.
Sunday night, Mr.. Editor, your
talk was disappointing. ! expected
a solid address, instead your speech
was full Of fluff and not up to your
recent standards. / am interested
in both you and your papers but
please don't talk bromide to our
people, who are already too much
asleep.

The New York Yankees have not as yet surrendered internationally, but their chances of overtaking the flying Detroit Tigers would be much brighter if they had just a little bit more of the spirit of the St. Louis Cardinals.

THREE PROTESTS FOR PARKS LOOP
 MEETING TONIGHT

Public Parks league baseball team managers will lose no time working themselves into a lather when they gather at 8 o'clock at the Templeton store for their week. ly tonsil workout. It seems no less than three of the six teams in the league have a few good sized bones to pick with talk about quit ting the league, etc., filing the air all morning. However, President Mob Kiersted, who is himself un- der fire of one of the outfits be- cause of some decisions in the Will son A. c. game Sunday, will have his hands full keeping the boys in line, without the aid of a fire hose, or something.
 Trio of Kicsk
 Squawk number one will prob- ably come from the North End Hillies who are going to challenge the eligibility of catcher Burns of the Hamiltons. Beef number two will come from the Waterbury A. c. who want to quit the league be- cause of some decisions by Umpire George Greece, who caused them to walk off the field and forfeit their game last week. The third and final kick will be directed at the chair by the Wilson's, who dis liked Kiersted's decisions last Sum day, after the league president substituted for Umpire Sloss who got lost on his way to the playing field.
 All in all 1t should be lively evening!

Charlie Nolan when told what had happened, sympathized with the reporters as did Barney Burns. Coptain Dick LeRoy and Sergeant Joseph Fran. els Bagley also agreed that such practice Is unfair. Sergeant Johnny Brickel took the side of the Reporters. but over at Fire headquarters Captain Joe Kelley and Benny Joy refused to comment and 1t is believed that they are still mindful of the defeat handed them by the Newsman in recent base- ball game.
 The Reporters are reported to be in fine condition having practised last night on the Green. The pa- trolmen in that vicinity and Bill Pollard, Joe Bender, Marty Bowes, Charlie Mack. John Cuney and the boys about towp said that the team should win. The scribes will show playing manager H. P. McGrath, Jim Calvin, assistant manager, Ray Fitzpatrick, coach, Bill Moriarty, John A.

The Reporters only chuckled over the announcement when they were told their opponents would lineup as fol, lows: Tim Horgan, catch; George Wiship, pitch; Frankie Burns, first base; James "Streamer" Flanagan; second base, Fred Keller; third base, Patrick J.
