More Socialist ExpulsiOns

AN ENTIRE local has been expelled from
n the Socialist Party in Buffalo.
A leading member has been charged
with acting as chairman at Friends of
the Soviet Union meeting.
He was also charged with stating that
"categorically to repudiate armed resist
ance by workers would be to repudiate the
most glorious pages of our history. :"
Thus, to follow the basic tenets of
Marxism is crime in the eyes of the S.P
leaders.
From this they also consider it crime
to support the Soviet Union.
Will Socialist workers accept this state
of affairs where to follow the teachings of
the Communist Manifesto and to support
the Workers and Farmers government,
the first Socialist government in the world
is considered a crime?

Party Life
Y. C. L. in Crosby
''TOO Much Talk
Organizer Wanted!

IN CROSBY Section, District
L No. 9, we have often seri-
ously taken up Party and Y.
G. L. relations, and have often
enough elected representatives
to attend meetings of both or
CARNATIONS. A study of our
minutes will show that we have done
/ this.
Yet our two organizations have
never had mutual understanding or
cooperation with each other. Strug-
giles initiated by the Party lacked
clear-cut specific youth action be-
cause the Y. c. L. was left out en-
tirely. And the Y. c. L. in turn
made its attempts at medical and
dental struggle an underground
secret to the Party
At last we are changing this. We
have a very good beginning of CO.
ordination of the adults and youth
in class struggle activity. In the
broad relief conferences initiated by
the Communist Party and the United
Farmers League in the four coun-
| ties of our section, we now find the
Y. G. L. beginning to display an ac-
tive role, issuing leaflets under its
own name, bringing UP youth de-
mands, putting up its speakers, etc.
Section Committee members of the
Party are helping the Y. G. L. in
every phase Of this work.
Now, several matters which be-
fore were never thought about have
come to our attention. One small
point is that the Y. G.. l.. members
did not know single song which
could be sung at mass meeting
of raw workers discussing everyday
needs. There were no songs of fore
closures, of fighting evictions, of
getting more relief. They only knew
songs of revolution, of guns and
barricades, of Red Armies and Grim
son banners. We are changing this
situation, so that when we go into
united front meetings, we will have
songs which even the backward
workers will sing with us.
| The eagerness of the Y. C. L. to
take a part in everyday battles also
taught the Party a lesson. Here
we have two Y.CL. units held back
in their plans because the Party
members are continually putting
off the calling of countrywide re-
lief conference. Would it not be en-
barrassing if the Y. c. L. called this
conference and then asked the Party
If 1t would participate?
In trying to settle the question
of Party-League relations we have
too much talk and not enough &C
ton. If we start struggle for one
single need of the workers around
us, common ordinary intelligence
will point out to us how this stu
alton is to be handled, and we will
find the Party members and Y.C.L.
members W orkieotnggeth shrd she
members working together harmoni-
ously, and the work of both organi-
cations co-ordinated

A Splendid Action

CELDOM was the sleek hypocrisy of
y Charity giving exploiters more dramat-
ically exposed than on Sunday night when
two Ohrbach strikers turned dinner in
the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria
into forum for presenting the issues in
5fieir struggle
The scene: 1900 guests in evening
dress are listening to Mayor LaGuardia at
a dinner Of the Jewish Hospital Mr. Ohr-
bach, take note, is director Of the hospital
and chairman of the dinner committee.
Suddenly, two girl strikers dressed in eve
ming gowns, and seated in a box, break
into His Honor's suave spiel with a bitter
denunciation of sweat-shop conditions in
Mr.. Ohrbach's store. Hotel attendants rush
to the box to eject the strikers but find
that they had chained themselves to the
railing.
We congratulate the Ohrbach strikers
on this splendid exposure which was Bit
ingly expressed in one of the placards
which they carried outside the hotel dur
ing the banquet: Mr. Ohrbach, starvation
salaries send your strikers to sickbeds."

The above broadcast in the Hearst press less
than three years ago.
Today, Hearst, fresh from a visit to Hitler and
alert to the gToIOing discomfort of the American
masses the crisis deepenS, becomes the sDeartead
for fascist propaganda in the U. s. and for inter-
UentiOn in the U.S.S.R
Hence the present campaign of lies and distortions
in the foul Hearst press-a campaign which will not
succeed because the workers of the u S. will see its
real purpose and defeat it!

The Path of Liberalism

A GROUP of misguided liberals have pro-
n tested to the Soviet ambassador in
Washington, Troyanovsky, against the
execution of the white guard terrorists
and assassins.
In this way, they unwittingly, but yet
effectively, assist the Hearst anti-Soviet
Islander campaign Among those who signed
the protest dispatched by the "Interna-
tional Committee for Political Prisoners"
were Sinclair Lewis, Prof. John Dewey,
Roger N. Baldwin, Arthur Garfield Hays,
James Maurer.
Whatever their wishes in making their
protest, the result will be encouragement
to the forces of fascism and war even now
in the East and West driving for bloody
intervention against the workers. father
land.
And who were the executed whom these
liberals take under their protecting wing I?
''Some of the persons executed had trickled
into the country, expecting an anti-Stalin
revolution with foreign aid" says the
Hearst writer Percy Winner, in the New
York Journal of the same date on which
the protest" is published.
In short, the fascist Hearst admits they
were counter-revolutionists assisted by
foreign imperialists, working for the over
throw of the Soviet government by but
cheering the best defenders of the work
ers' fatherland.

Philadelphia Councils

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. I'll
The Unemployment Council has
taken up the case of William Nc
Griff, aged Negro worker and father
of five children, who was cut off of
relief here because his son was in
c. G. G. camp although the son
was sick and unable to send home
any money.
When MIR. McGriff appeared at
the relief Office and pointed out to
the officials that he was pennyless
and that he had a wife and five
children at home who were starving
and that he wanted to work he was
told by the officials that he was too
old.
The councils are making this case
a part of their drive to fight the
lowering of the standards of the
unemployed and he struggle for the

William Randolph Hearst Lies about the Communist Party

lurid tales of Starvation" and mass murder Of

You seem to have forgotten lately

A Lefty to the Ribs

Last night I almost choked to

turned the page to see what was
happening to Little Lefty and found
him chased by cop and swearing

Eddie Lewis Branch, LID,
Is Formed

New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
I read in Mike Colds column his
beautifully told and gripping story
of the murder of Eddie Lewis, the
youngest martyr of them all.
This revolving example, of white
ruling class inhumanity to the
Negro worker and his children has
stirred me to action and and
other sympathizers are organizing
the Eddie Lewis Branch of the In
ternationaI Labor. Defense.
This new branch of the LID.
will serve the threefold purpose of
perpetuating the memory of this
infant martyr, murdered because his
parents were workers, poor and
Negro; to exist as a permanent re-
minder of the deeds of the baby
killing capitalist American "civiliza-
ton" (workers' babies, black and
white), and above all to help our
great international Labor Defense
do its large share in fighting to
make such crimes impossible.
Since Comrade Gold has inspired
the creation of this branch by CIV
ing us this story, I feel sure he
will gladly accept charter member
ship in the Eddie Lewis Branch OF
the International Labor Defense.
Any readers Of this story who
wish to join this branch should
send their names to the District
Office of the LID, at $40 Broadway

Says ''Pass on the
Daily Worker
Cleveland, Ohio

GleNGldIlQ, OIllO.
Conrad Editor:
In connection with the present
Daily Worker subscription drive,
and in reading the letter by a
Policeman of Chicago which was
printed in the Daily Worker of
January 4, in which he stated how
he got acquainted with our move
ment by picking up Daily Worker
someone left on train, and
through personal observation, an
idea came to my mind which may
not be new, but I believe could and
should be utilized to further popu-
larize and spread our Daily Worker.
The suggestion is thus:
1. The Daily Worker should
popularized the slogan, "Pass on the
Daily Worker" and some similar
slogans, throughout the paper.
2. Every Daily Worker reader
should make habit, after reading
the Daily Worker, of passing it on
by giving it to a neighborhood
worker, shop mate, union brother or
by leaving it in a street car, etc.
3. To acquaint the finder where
he can get a Daily Worker every
day, I suggest that each section
agent should have little sticke-s
printed with the address of the
local workers bookshops and stands
and should supply these stickers to
readers to be pasted on the front
page. Colored stickers would be
best. These stickers could also be
used by canvassers.

COMMUNIST ORGANIZER ASKED
FOR IN MINNESOTA TOWNSHIP

In Silvercreek township, Wright
County, Minnesota, twenty-six Com
munist votes were cast in the last
election. Yet there is neither a
United Farmers League nor Com

PIT. A. VOTES AGAINST

Proposed changes in the method Of
appointment of members of the Board
of Education or transfer of any of its
supervisory powers to the District of
Columbia Commissioners met with
solid opposition when voted on by the
Parent-Teacher Association Of the
Joseph Rodman West School at
meeting in the. school on Farragut
street, between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets, this week.
The action on the proposed changes
followed an address by Henry I.
Quinn, a member Of the Board of
Education and a former president of
the association, during which he de-
tailed provisions of the proposed leg
islation and pointed out some of the
effects If it were approved by Con-
greSs.
The organization also discussed at
some length the present type of radio
programs provided for children dur
ing the early part of each evening.
and while no action was taken, the
members were urged to individually
make some effort to have the sponsors
change them.
The Health Department was asked
to provide facilities for giving the
dren of the school.

1ST LIBERTY LOANS
CALLED BY June Is
Payment for Entire Issue
of Outstanding Bonds
Total S1,933,O 900, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury today called for pay
ment on June IS its entire issue OF
outstanding First Liberty loan bonds,
aggregating approximately sl,s33,-
100000.
This issue, which is of 1932-47 ma
turity, consists of three series:
A total of 1892. .226,250 bearing in
terest at the rate of 312 per cent;
s5.0O2,45O of converted per cent
bonds and $685., 5,981, $50 of converted
IA per cent bonds.
No Surprise Seen.
The Administrations determination
to refund more of the outstanding
gold-clause bonds was not a surprise
to financial quarters. While a saw
ing in interest charges was considered
the chief objective, the Treasury has
been expected to retire all gold clause
bonds as rapidly as possible in view
of the Supreme Courts decision that
Government abrogation of gold pay
ments on these securities was invalid.
IL was IlOI
what securities would be offered In
exchange for the called first Liberties,
but recently the Treasury refunded
a portion of its fourth Liberty 44s
with an issue of 1925 year, 278 per
cent bonds, the lowest interest coupon
for long time paper within the memory
of the present Treasury personnel.
Going Very Nicely.
This recent exchange offering was
said by Secretary Morgenthau to be
going very nicely and it was un-
derstood that its success helped
prompt the new operation.
What interest rate the Treasury
may pay on securities to be offered
later in exchange for the called first
Liberties will depend on the Treas
ury's study on money rates at the
time of the flotation.
Should the refunding be done on
the same basis as that recently en-
ployed-20-year bonds paying only
27a per cent-the Government would
save more than S26000,000 annually

DUELS DECLARED BEST
FOR SETTLING QUARRELS
Fists Can't Compare With Swords
as Means of Blowing Off Emo

PARIS. March 14-The fist fight or
brawl, Jean Joseph Renaud said yes
terday. cannot compare with the duel
as a means of blowing off emotions.
Renaud. master of ceremonies at
hundreds of affairs of honor and con-
sidered a duelling expert, told men,
bers of the Anglo American Press As
sociation that swords and pistols
cause less violence ultimately than
fists. The swinging of the latter. he
said, often intensifies anger which re-
suits in shooting.
Supervised duels he defended as
means of furnishing adverSaries with
a safety valve for their emotions, and
declared the opponents courage in
facing blades and bullets restores
their self-respect.
Renaud recently served in the duel
between Cesar Campinchi and Horace
de Carbuccia, Corsician Deputies, in
which the former was wounded.
