COL. MISLEADERS IN MILD PROTEST WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.— With its reformist, petitionist policy meeting the usual stone wall of of- ficial contempt, the Nationa] Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Col- ored People, today issued a wail in connection ‘vith the appointment by President Hoover of the Anti-Negro, labor misleader William N. Doak, to the post of Secretary of Labor. The N. A. A. C. P. reveals that it privately petitioned Mr. Hoover as long ago as last January to please not appoint Doak to his cabinet. In a public letter to Hoover this time, the reformist Negro organization declares: “The N. A. A, ©.

It has raised tens and thousands of dollars in strike and struggle relief in the Gastonia strike, in the furriers’ strike, in the shoe workers’ struggles, for the build- ing of camps for workers’ children, ete. ‘The Workers’ International Relief, in order to fulfill its funetion as the workers’ agency for relief in strug- gle, must be built and supported by the workers and their organizations; it must be made into a living mass organization, with a vast network of among the of the country, affiliated workers’ organizations pre- pared to work with it and support it. In order to strengthen itself, and inerease its working-class activities, the Workers’ International Relief is holding a Bazaar on Jan. 2, 3 and 4. The United Councils of Working Class Women is running this bazaar jointly with the W. I. R. On the basis of the need for relief in the coming dress strike, for the mass unemployed hunger marches, for the building of next summer's camps for workers’ children, etc., the W. I.

Kelly Miller, worst Judas of the petty bourgeois group which regular- ly betrays the struggles of the Negro masses, also sees a job cut out for him, convinced that the|Negro masses will resent this latest Hoover ap- pointment of an enemy of the Negro workers. Miller is afraid that “the recent, assignment of Mr. Doak to a cabinet portfolio speaks so plainly and loudly that he who runs may hear.” This tratior, who at the recent fake anti-lynching congress of the®Na- tional Equal Rights League, preached respect for the “law ard order” of the system which gives birth to lynching, jim-crowism, segregation, ete, now admits that in its attitude towards the Negro masses there is no difference between the republican party and th democratic party. “The two parties are approaching parity” int his respect, hesays.

This little-known off-shoot of the Mongolian race, a gentle and peaceable people, lives in the cold swamp-lands of Siberia, in small communities that are like large fam- ilies, getting their subsistence from hunting and fishing. Their existence is so simple that it is almost primi- tive, with so little acquaintance with the methods and tools of modern civilization that when nature fails them they have nothing between them and! starvation. The central character in the pic- ture is Igdenbu, the tribe’s most skilful hunter. His story is not fic- tion—it is a real record of life in the Siberian wilderness, made without the use of professional actors or any other studio.device to reproduce ac- tuality.
