GERMAN PRESS — HITS POINCARE ON WAR GUILT Tries to Cover Up His Own War Making BERLIN, Sept. 29.—While govern- ment officialiom today maintains a calm attitude toward Premier Poin catre’s outbursts on the subject of Gen many’s war guilt, the entire German press continues its attacks on M, Potn- farming masses. more than their bit pouring out many millions in many, other ways to keep their press on the job fighting the workers. ue Of course, you know that THE WORKERS MUST BUILD.AND HAVE A POWERFUL PRESS OF THEIR OWN. But this is a hard job. It costs very much, And yet we cannot possibly get laong well without a mighty working class press to battle courageously and unflinchingty for the interests and demands of the exploited masses, THIS 18 HXAOTLY WHAT THE DAILY WORKER HAS BEEN DOING FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY OF ITS*EXISTENCH Dear Sirs and Brothers: ODAY there is only one out-and-out, aggressive and militant work- ing class daily in the Hnglish language in the United States—a country with more than thity milliois of workers. This is The DAILY WORKER. Being part of the American Jabor movement, you can readily see the burning need for such a paper as The DAILY WORKER— a daily which unceasingly and fearlessly fights for the workers tn city of the land and in every struggle of the oppressed and exploit Race, creed, color, nationality don’t count one bit with The DAILY WORKER when there is to be a call to action.or a mobilization for @ fight ~ against the capitalist class anywhere and at amy time, You know that it costs piles of money to get out a daily paper and to keep it going. The American employing class spends nearly a Dillion dollars year in and year out only thru the subsidy of advertising pe its press going full speed against the working people and the tmpov: The eleven thousand American millionaires are doing NOW THE DAILY WORKER IS UP AGAINST IT.

Futile Resolutions. “Not one resolution concerned any issue in which the unmarrie? factory girl, the business girl; or the wage earning women is primarily intgrest- ed. No mention was made of the ap- palling conditions under which so many single girls have to exist today. As tho this was not sufficient, of the five speakers officially appointed by congress, only one was a woman. Brownlie expressed a belfef that present society is..built.on a wrong basis. He appealed to American work- ers to join the. Amsterdam federation and make common cause, with Eu- ropean ‘workers against an “almost useless class whose,mission and ob- ject is profit.” ’ Against ‘Profit Class. “This useless ‘and ‘dissipated minor- ity class is destroying hutanity and making ‘cogs ‘of ‘the workers,” the speaker stated And hé would refuse to be a party to its ‘continuance. Referring® to” the’ intense speed up of the Americah workers, Brownlie pointed out that its relatively insuffi- cient wage return left no margin for “the evenings of’ life‘of the worker.” “Capital,” he said; “knows no coun- try or creed, but only profit.” “Or- ganize into one group with one objec- tive,” was Brownlie’s advice.

In addition to this uge amount’ there are hea P rolls handed out monthly at Cavite and Olongapo (naval bases in the Philippines), where hundreds of men are employed, many of them skilled mechanics drawing top wages, to- gether with crews of yard craft and other auxiliary vessels, The army payrolls account for the tremendous balance, but in the total there has not been included the wages of the offi- cers and men of either the Philip- pine Scouts or the Philippine Con- Stabulary, which would carry Uncle Sam’s military payroll in the Orient much higher still. a@ moment. when Foreign Ministers |.
