I At THEIR first breakfast in Lin wood, Ellen Hamilton asked ■ anxiously, "John, will you look up your Uncle Comstock? Or shall we wait for him to call?” John’s lip twitched. "Let’s get settled first, dear. And aren’t you expecting Lucille Smythe and her father soon? You’11 be busy.” "John, I’ll certainly have time for Uncle Comstock.” Ellen set out to find him that day. He wasn’t in the phone book, so she consulted the city directory. Corn stock Whitney Hamilton resided at 33 Reber street. Ellen took a taxi across the river, down Main street, across another rather smelly little river, to a strangely rural looking community. "You must be wrong,” she said to the driver. 'Tm looking for the residence of Mr. Comstock Whitney Hamilton.” ‘That's it, ma’am.” He pointed to a tumble-down cottage. “But,” he grinned, “if you want to see old ‘Ham,’ look for him in front of Pete’s Place at the east end of the bridge. He's held down a bench there for twenty years.” “Are you sure you’re not mistak en?” Ellen asked frigidly. “Ma’am, everyone in Linwood knows those old fixtures in front of Pete’s—swappin’ lies and spittin’ There’s old Ham, old Joe Horner—” “Never mind,” Ellen said. “Take me there.” That night she said to John, “You should have seen how overcome poor Uncle Comstock was. I felt so ashamed! Your own uncle, sit ting on that hard old bench with those horrid men! It’s weeks since he’s seen a barber. He was speech less when I told him who I was, that we're living on Prospect avenue and that we insist on his moving in with us. I don’t suppose he dreamed anyone would rescue him." John blinked. "Are you sure we can make him happy?” “Oh, yes! He’ll love being in this house, having nice clothes and know ing really congenial people.” John smiled. “Set a frog on a golden stool. . . .” “What’s that?” "Nothing,” John said. “When do we move him?” Ellen considered. Lucille Smythe would be in town the next week on her way east. She was a bit snooty. Her father would be with her—he’d once lived in this town. Ellen had seen pictures of Lucille’s father, a dignified old gentleman with a point ed white beard. “Uncle Comstock will come at once,” Ellen said firmly. They left Uncle Comstock’s cot tage just as it was. He wouldn’t need anything there. He was silent on the way to Prospect Avenue. “He’s simply bewildered,” Ellen whispered to John. uncle Uomstock looked sweet in his new clothes. Ellen supervised the barber's work. A white mustache and pointed beard made him posi tively distinguished. After dinner he said he wished he'd brought his plug of chewing tobacco. Ellen pat ted his hand. "Darling, John has some good cigars.” He smiled wist fully. He did just as Ellen said. “I won der what he’s thinking,” Ellen sighed. "He seems so pitiful and wistful, doesn’t he?” “More every day,” John said. Lucille was due Saturday. At ten she phoned from the station. Ellen found her quite upset. “I’ve lost Daddy. He went out to talk to the baggage master—and now he’s disappeared!” They looked about and gave up. John met them for luncheon and they shopped. There was a bus tie up, and they walked across the bridge for the Prospect Avenue bus. As they approached Pete’s Place, Ellen saw five or six old “fixtures” on the bench. She thought of poor Uncle Comstock and shivered. Suddenly her blood froze. Uncle Comstock was sitting right there with the others, chewing tobacco! Desperately, Ellen walked and talked fast, calling Lucille’s atten tion to a landmark across the street. They were safely past when Lucille exclaimed, “I’ve dropped a pack age!” “I’ll run back,” Ellen said quick ly. Then her heart sank as she saw a man rise from the bench, pick up something from the curb and start toward them. But it wasn’t Uncle Comstock. It was another old “fix ture” who approached them. “Why—Daddy!” Lucille gasped. “I didn’t see you. What are you doing here? Getting the latest on the town?” She laughed nervously. “Daddy always talks to everyone Come along. Daddy!” He was verj dignified, but he looked pitiful, wist ful. Lonely. Like Uncle Comstock. “John,” Ellen said later, “what's the rest of your little poem, ‘Set a frog on a golden stool’?” "Guess,” John grinned. "Is it. ‘Back he’ll hop into the pool’?” "Exactly.” “Well, it’s true,” Ellen admitted. “We'll let Uncle Comstock have Pete’s bench again,” she smiled.

BIRCHMAN (Continued from page 3) intensely exploited by monopoly trading corpor ations such as tbe United Africa Company, This subsidiary of Unilever and Lever Brothers, one of the world’s biggest monopolies, exercises virtually1 complete control over the purchase of agricultural products and the sale of imported goods. The colonial government offers every facility to these companies and has built railroads, roads, har bors and docks for their ships to transport products | fro mthe hinterland to the sea. Thus, although the natives still have the land and produce the crops, the foreign capitalist, possessing strategic economic1 powers, fix the prices to be paid for their agricul tural products as well as the prices the peasants must pay for imported foodstuffs and manufactur | ed goods. Since the peasants are forced to grow a small number of specialized cash crops, they do not produce enough food for themselves and must pur chase their food supplies. While prices for their products have been kept down, the prices for all they must buy have soared almost two-hundred per cent during the war vears. Now the colonial government is reaching out to rob them of their ancestral lands. These events have stirred up the natives, united them, awakened their national consciousness. The Nigerian peas ants have engaged in heroic struggles against the imperialists. At Aba in December 1929, 30,000 l peasant women participated in a demonstration a | gainst the imposition of a head tax in which 83 un armed women were shot down and 87 wounded by the colonel butchers. At Oro in 1933, 12,000 peas ants demonstrated against the excessive taxation, which takes more than 20 percent of their income. The insistent demands of the peasant masses for agricultural reforms, democratic liberties, self government, relief from taxation, economic secur ity and national unification can only be achieved through an agrarian revolution, the overthrow of imperialist rule and the elimination of monopolist control over their economic life. Who will lead this inescapable revolutionary / struggle ? Neither the peasantry, nor the colonial bourgeoisie or petty bourgeoisie. “The peasantry, the largest numeric ally and the most atomized, backward and oppress ed class, is capable of local uprisings and partisan warfare, but requires the leadership of a more ad vanced and centralized class in order for this strug gle to be elevated to an all-national scale. The task of such leadership falls in the nature of things upon the colonial proletariat, which from its very first steps stands opposed not only to the foreign but al so to its own natinal bourgeoisie” (Trotsky). PROLETARIAT STEPPED FORTH Frm its emergence as an organized force, the Ni gerian proletariat has stepped forth as the leader of the masses in their fight for national freedom and social liberation. The labor unions appear to have been the dominant factor in the development of the nationalist movement and in the struggle a gainst the British exploiters and oppressors. By comparing Nigeria to India, we can see what a colossal leap forward this formerly backward country of Africa has taken under the spur of nec essity. In India the nationalist movement lias been dominated by representatives of the big bour geoisie and the petty bourgeoisie (Gandhi and Ne hru), while the labor movement has up to now play ed a subordinate role. In Nigeria, however, from the first organized labor has played a decisive role in the nationalist movement and given a model ex ample of militant and intransigent struggle. This is the best surety of success in the future struggles of the African people. The revolutionary alliance of the workers and peasants is the only power that can smash the stranglehold of British imperialism. was read and approved.
