Grays Harbor, the freighter Ad-
miral Sebree and the passenger
liner Dorothy Alexander. Often
/ travelled as stowaway, chiefly
using the Yale and Harvard,
which were the fastest ships on
the coast.
During these months I never
had a drink, never a real day of
rest, and never did l go out with
a girl. I lived only for the cause.
Yet at times j was bitterly
lonely. There was a night when
l sat on a pile of timbers in the
harbor of Tacoma, broken-down
and ready to give up and desert.
Life" thought, could be
so pleasant, so easy, If only
1 would strike out for myself;
/ could learn a trade, start a
business, have a big new car
and a good home, and life
would be all velvet and
sweet"
A moment later l became so
angry at my own bourgeois
thoughts that / snatched a piece
of wood from the ground and
crashed it over my own head.
Albert Walter, Atchkanov and
Ryatt had reason to be content
with me. BY the end of Novem-
Der, / had brought the Hamburg
bureau in contact with small but
fairly stable "activist" groups in
Seattle, Grays Harbor, Portland,
Astoria, San Francisco and San
Pedro. ! now dectded-to invade
Hawaii.
In Hamburg had been given
the name of an official of the
American Shipowners' Associa-
ton who had been reported as
bribable by one of Albert Wal
ter's scouts. This official, we
were led to believe, would ship
any man on any desired ship
for a fee of $40, with no ques-
tons asked.
1t was important TO have such
a man at hand, and it was
equally important that he should
have no suspicion that he was
assisting Communist agitators to
entrench themselves in strate-
gic shipping lines. Albert Wal
ter and Atchkanov had put it
up to me TO follow this lead, and
to put it to a practical test.
1t was easy. / went to San
Pedro and asked for Mr.. X, a
tall, handsome, smooth-faced
young man, in the offices of the
Shipowners' Association. / had
labored two days to make a
little sailship model in a bottle,
and this l presented to Mr.. X.
He was pleased.

further ado.
The Calawaii, painted a cool
tropical white from stem to
stern, was a regular vessel of
the Hawaiian trade. In the
course OF each round trip of
three weeks, the steamer spent
a week in island waters with
Honolulu and Hilo as the chief
ports of call.
Before she sailed, I lived
through a hectic night, SNUG
Cling aboard my accumulated
stock of suitcases and packages
full of propaganda literature in
the Japanese language.
The passage to Honolulu was
balmy. The wild, warm, rock
bound face of Molokai, and Dia-
mond Head pushing its cleaning
snout out into the sapphire sea,
seemed to laugh serenely at the
conception that revolution could
ever come to ride these shores.
The white breakers foaming
over purple cliffs, the wheeling
gulls and the lush green of the
hills belched gay derision at the
puny proselyte of Lenin; they
made me think of peacefully
humming fishermen. of full
throated brown maidens and of
Captain Cook.
Dark youngsters dived for
coins in the harbor, and on the
wharf the fat brown musicians
of the Royal Hawaiian Band
hurled a musical welcome. But
beyond the crowd of bright
eyed, brightly dressed people,
with flame-colored leis around
their necks, l saw what /

CHAPTER XVIII

With the zeal of a crusader,
l struck out on my career Of an
underground worker on the Pa
cific Coast.
For a week l collected infor-
nation about the Coast Guard
service. l haunted the Coast
Guard pier at the end OF the
Embarcadero, and struck up &C
quaintances with sailors on cut
tiers moored after a turn of
patrol at sea. / studied the re-
quirements for enrolment in the
service, and followed the men
on shore-leave TO learn all i
could about the haunts they
lfrequented.
Late at night, would steal
aboard the cutters and place
Communist tracts where they
would be found by the crews in
the morning. At the end of the
week, to round out the picture,
| went to the Coast Guard sta
ton and applied for an official
Lifeboat Certificate. Two Coast
Guard captains subjected me to
"a rigid examination on the spot.
Together with other appli-
cants, / manned a lifeboat and
pulled out into the bay for a
test of seamanship. One of the
officers, Captain Anderson, a
rough old sea-dog, barked COM
-mands for maneuyers he wanted
us to execute. That over, the
second captain, whose name was
Patricius, took charge Of the
theoretical end Of the examina-
ton.
Among the eight applicants
present, ! was the only one who
passed the test. ! received a
document, signed by Captain
Patricius, to the effect that I
was a certified lifeboat man.
With this paper in my pocket,
/ felt safer.
That night wrote a report to
Albert Walter, detailing the in
formation | had gathered on the
possibilities Of Communist pene-
tration into the Coast Guard
service.
The following FIVE months /
roamed the West Coast from
Puget Sound to San Diego.
Rarely did l stop for longer than
a week in any one place.
Every steamer Of the Roland
Line brought consignments of
propaganda literature from
Hamburg, and I faithfully dis
tributed every piece of il, not
even shying from such unimpor-
.tant ports as Santa Barbara, or
Eureka, or Newport, Greg.
Money, I did not receive: Albert
Walters letters complained Of
his heavy financial obligations

Meet Your Ghost!

THEIR marriage was going

THE ghosts within her"
that's a startling phrase, isn't
it? I've lifted it from a re-

cussed are those that come TO
us all, though we may have
never before dared to face
them frankly. That frankness
may come as a surprise TO
many Of US, perhaps as a
shock.
You're not going to agree

good for what ails us all, even
though some of its revelations
are hardly fiattering and
would have given Aunt Ia

But getting back to those
ghosts. We all have them.
Ghosts of envy and fear, dis

Ghosts whose shapes we our

Orders on Propaganda
Contrary to the Comintern's
practice in other "semi-colonial"
countries, no nationalist slogans
could be raised in Hawaii, since
each race there is confronted by
"a majority of all other races.
Moreover, in the streetsof Homo
lulu words like "half-caste" or
"half-breed" are taboo.
All / saw and heard and read
then about the racial and social
consultations on the Hawaiian
Islands l incorporated in a ram
bling 30-page report which | dis
patched to Hamburg. Five years
later, in 1880, l saw this report
in Moscow, in the office of Leso-
vsky, whose real name is S. A.
Dridzo, the chief of the Interna-
tional Propaganda and Action
Committees of the Profntern.
1t was marked in red pencil,
"Sehr interessant." And a SEN

ture should be spread concur

retained my job aboard the
Calawaii and returned with her
to San Pedro to pick up, in ad-
.dition to japanese, all the
Spanish and English propaganda
material l could obtain. During
my second trip to the islands, I
boarded every vessel in Honolulu
harbor, including the small
coastal steamers, two Japanese
ships. and the square-rigged
sailship Tusitala of New York.
/ was put to fight by the Off
GERS Of several steamers Of the
Matson Line and the Dollar
Steamship Company, but found
promising young sympathizers
aboard the liners City Of Los
Angeles and Molokai and aboard
the Tusitala. Their names l sent
on to Hamburg, so that "ac-
twists in other ports could be
notified to continue the work of
building communist units on
these ships.
In Hilo, | hired a taxicab for
a 6-hour drive through sugar
and pin eapple plantations.
WheneversI saw Filipino labor
ers at work, / would shout to

fling handfuls of leaflets in Span

a martial reddish mustache took
up the pursuit in rafting Ford,
and ordered me to get off the
land or go to Jail.
The taxi-driver apologized pro-
fusely. we drove back to Hilo.
This was, l believe, the first time
in history that the cry Workers
of the World, Unite" was passed
on to the plantation coolies Of
Hawaii.
Ny third voyage between Cali
fornia and Honolulu gave me a
rare opportunity for personal
contacts with a large number of
Filipino workers. While in the
port of Los Angeles, l noticed
that hundreds Of rough wooden
berths in three tiers were being
built into the 'tweendecks of the
Calawaii.

Lack Of Access Roads
Blamed for SIowinq
Defense Efforts

By Mcdonald Of ..'
BottIeneck in Areas

Most serious bottleneck in build
ing Of roads for defense occurs in
areas surrounding production plants
In industrial centers, Thomas H
Macdonald, Public Roads Admins
tration commissioner, said yester-
day In an address before the Wash
lngton Post of the Society of Amer
lean Military Engineers.
He cited delays in delivering parts
10 certain factories and placed the
blame on inadequate arteries lead
ing TO these plants.
Access Roads Recommended.
The Roads Administration, he
pointed cut, has recommended to
tthe President an appropriation Of
t15oo0o, 900 for the construction of
"access roads," which would i'm
prove this condition at both indus
trial centers and military reserva-
tions.
An additional 100000 900 also has
been asked for improvement and
construction of a strategic network
of $4,000 miles of highways, Mr..
Macdonald reminded the group.
This network, he said, had been
approved by the Secretaries of War
and Navy and was considered of
major military Importance.
Repair Funds Also Asked.
A third request for $25 100000 to
repair and improve roads damaged
by military maneuvers also was out
lined by the speaker. These recon-
mendations we're made to the White
House a month ago, and the Roads
Administration offices reported to-
day they expected the President to
take action shortly on their re-
quests.
