Last week a small paper coming

In that paper Hans Henderson

Hans, in this article, claimed
there was illegal voting done at
the meeting. This, probably was

had plenty of proxies, and any

REVOLUTIONISTS MUST
ORGANIZE

Thousands of those who accept
in theory the principles of the rev.
dictionary movement, who in the
past have taken part in labor
struggles, are today outside of any
political party. To them we say
that today more than at any other
time no one should be sitting on
the fence or standing on the side
lies. We have no time to lose if
we are to build the revolutionary
party before the forces of reaction
have too firmly entrenched them
selves and establish some form of
Fascism here in the u. S. also.
A revOlutiOnist cannot be an IN
dividualist. He cannot work as an
irresponsible free lance. He must
work in an organized and disci-
plined way. That means he must
belong to the organized vanguard
of the working class, the revOlu1
tiOnary party.
The process of Indignation and
unification Of the revolutionary
forces has begun here in the Unit
ed States as well as in other
countries. The days of retreat and
defeat shall end. Under the leader
ship of the revolutionary vanguard
the American working class is or
ganlzing to prevent the triumph of
Fascism here, and to join with the
workers of other lands to wipe it
from the face of the earth wher-
ever it has already triumphed.
Build the Workers Party of the
United States! Build the New,
Fourth International

conditions for an economy of
plenty and security for the mass
es are here. Fired with hatred of
what capitalism has done to man.
kind and by the vision of what can
be done with modern productive
forces, the workers must march
forward now to the battle to make
that vision real throughout the
world.
STUDY THE PROGRAM
To those honest and militant
workers who are today members
of other working class parties, we
of the Workers Party say: eve
shall not call you counter-revolu-
tionists and Social Fascisas if you
continue to work and fight where
you are-so long as you are firm
ly convinced that you are working
in the most effective way possible
for the overthrow of capitalism. -
We do, however, ask such workers
to take the program of the W.P.
and the issues we raise and to de-
mand that they be discussed in
parties and groups to which they
belong. The w. P. is perfectly will
ling to abide by the result of any
open discussion before the working
class. If, however, any party re-
fuses to face and discuss the is
sues we raise. such a party is not
revolutionary and a true revolu-
ZIONIST cannot remain in such a
party. For the first characteristic
of a revolutionist is that he thinks
for himself. Otherwise he would
still be believing in the capitalist
system like all workers who take
their ideas unthinkingly from the
boss press. If worker joins a So
: called revolutionary party only tc
lose his right to think, that is stul-
tifying the revolutionary move
ment.

$3,665,000 Allotted for
New Home for Federal
Trade Board.
MOVE ENDS DISPUTE
OVER TRIANGLE PROJECT
Opponents Hold Structure Will
Cut Off View of New
Archives Edifce.

Construction OF the So-called Apex
Building on the small triangle east
of the new Archives Building at Penn
sylvania and Constitution avenues will
be expedited under a S3,665 900 allot-
ment made today to the procurement
division of the Treasury Department
by the Public Works Administration.
The Apex Building will be the new
home of the Federal Trade Commls-
sion, Administrator Ickes announced.
and will house overflow agencies Of
the Government as needs occur.
The building will round out the
triangle development.
Designed by Edward H. Bennett,
Chicago architect, the plans for the
Apex Building have been approved by
the Fine Arts Commission and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Decision to build on the small tri-
angle east of the Archives Building
ends a controversy which at one time
brought out considerable opposition to
rearing a structure that would possibly
obstruct the view of the monumental
building housing the Governments
archives.
Ickes said today that with the allot-
ment of construction funds 1t was now
up to the Procurement Division OF the
Treasury to get the work under way.
The Federal Trade Commission oc-
cupies cne of the old temporary struc-
lures at Twentieth street and Con-
stitution avenue. That site is being
developed for the recently authorized
Federal Reserve Building, and the
commission is preparing to move TO
the Rochambeau Apartments on Con-
necticut avenue and an adjoining
building.
Both the Fine Arts Commission and
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. it was said, will be
the overflowing agencies destined to
occupy space in the new Apex Build
ing. They are now located in the
Navy Building, which is already over
flowing into some corridors.
The opposition to erect the new
building on the apex triangle was led
by John Russell Pope. architect of the
Archives Building. which is soon to be
occupied His main objection was
based on the ground that it would off,
set the monumental structure which
now is the end building in the Fed
eral triangle and commands an un-
obstructed view from the base of the
Capitol.
The site also had been tentatively
selected at one time for the proposed
memorial to Thomas Jefferson, which
now will have to be located elsewhere.
AS far as could be learned today
specifications for the building have
not been drawn up in the Procure
ment Division, which will have COM
plete charge Of all building opera
