A few weeks ago the figure set for the expenditures of the Democratic and republican parties in this elec- tion was $3,000,000 each. The hangers-on of both parties got scared over the prospect of a hard winter, and Al Smith’s gasoline manager Raskob came out with the! ;.. assurance that there would be no limit to contributions. Then Herbert Hoover’s finance director raised it to $4,000,000, and frantic bidding became the order of the day. Our ‘latest report from Washing- ton is that the figure has now reached the enormous sum of $10,- 000,000, the largest sum ever offi- cially expended in an election cam- paign, even in the days of Mark Hanna.

Over 350,000 workers are jobless in this section, which means that over a million persons, men women and children are suffering in this section alone from the greatest evil which strikes the wage earning class. Figures for the country as a whole indicate that 5,000,000 workers are unemployed. At the same time there is taking place a nation-wide and ruthless drive against the exist- ing wage scales and a lengthening of working hours.

Mobilize Masses. And those proletarian men and women who realize that the main purpose of the Communists in the present campaign is to mobilize the masses for the struggle against capitalism are sending in their con- tributions with appropriate com- ment. Here is a letter from a poor farm- er from Elko, Nevada: “Comrades: “Please find in this letter my pro- letarian donation of five dollars for our Communist Election Campaign “Fraternally, George Rupert.” George Rupert takes no stock ir the new-found interest of Herbert Hoover in the needs of the farmers What Hoover wants is the farmers’ votes. Rupert knows that the Com- munists do not come to the poor farmers in the role of saviors, but with a program around which they can organize in common with the exploited workers in the factories. Steve Morasky writes from Cald- well, Ohio: “Please send me two books of “Vote Communist” stamps and also fi Foster-Gitlow campaign -but- I am also sending $2.50 as my contribution to the Communist Cam- paign Fund.” i dwell is in the striking mine of Ohio where the miners have been battling against the operators and their own corrupt labor leaders for over twelve months. Mrasky knows what the Workers (Commu- nist) Party has done to help out during this strike. From Tomolen, Mississippi, R.

And writes Harry Rutland, of Caspar, California: “I enclose one dollar for stamps to boost the Com- munist Party. I was in former days a socialist, but dropped out when it deserted the class struggle. I would like to se my letter come with one of those stamps on it.” Yes, Comrade Rutland, you will see a “Vote Communist” stamp on your letter all right. No letter can leave the National Office without one of those stamps pasted on the envelope. Funds Urgently Needed.

His speech was delivered in the House of Com- mons, in which he demanded a vote of censure of the government. The government’s failure to re- lieve many poverty-stricken areas, and its complete lack of interest in the unemployment situation has caused great resentment among the army of 1,500,000 workers who are at present unemployed. Within the last three and one- half years, the number of paupers in Great Britain has increased by 225,- 000. Baldwin Offers “Solution.” Prime Minister Baldwin, in de- \fending the government, said that unemployment was concentrated | largely within certain sections while |the country as a whole was “mod- lerately prosperous.” As a “solu- tion” he offered the suggestion that unemployed persons be transferred |either to prosperous sections and | others to dominions. Since the last week, the number of persons registered with the Min- istry of Labor has been increased by almost 5,000.
