Thousands of workers are marching the streets of the cities here Already the lumber mills that have reopened in Gray’s Harbor after a period of shutdown, have exceeded by 10 per cent production of luni- ts and unem- ber products in the first week, than they have Sad 's for. The mills have slashed wages and nave increased the hours of labor upon resum- ing production. Conditions amongst the lumber workers are miserable, and the militancy of workers is growing from day to day. bosses are about to face as a result of this wholesale speed-up, wage cuts and unemplo. ment, they are resorting to the old game, to divide the working class by inciting to race riots. The attacks upon the Filipino workers re- sulting from the strike of the fruit workers in California was the fore-runner of the general attack of the capitalists upon all the worke: on the Pacific Coast. The F have been brought into the lumber mills in the Grays Harbor section because of their agility, swiftness and youth in order to place the behind the machines in the lumber mills. Now that the bosses have no more use for the work- ers, the local capitalist pre mouthpiece of the lumber barons are commencing to incite the white workers against the Filipino work to whom they endeavor to attribute the mise of the white workers. In this way the bo are trying to trun the eyes of the white wor ers away from the real cause of their condi- tions, which is the capitalist system and the bosses, and egging the white workers on to attacks against their Filipino brothers who are faced with even worse conditions than the white workers. These attacks upon the Filipino workers. who are the most exploited and oppressed sec- tion of the lumber workers, is part and parcel of the whole imperialist policy of the Amer- in capitalism result- | Seeing what the | | appearing in the capitalist press and using | the language of William Green of the 7 ilipino workers | ican bosses. Thus the bosses attack the Fili- pino workers and exploit them to the utmost on the Pacific Coast and keep them in sup- pression in their home country in the Philip- pine Islands. Already the Ku Klux Klan are commencing to burn their crosses on the hill tops as war- nings to the Filipino workers who are being terrorized wherever they move. The American Legion and ithe Ku Klux Klan are the chief instruments through which these attacks led by the local press, are made against the Fili- pino workers. as degenerated into a r tionary organization and aids the bosses at every opportunity by attacking the’ Commu- nists and refusing to take any action in behalf of the tens of thousands of unemployed work- ers in the northwest, but instead write their reactionary articles in the same tone as those F. of L. telling the unemployed workers that they should first get a job in order to be organized. The Communist Party as the leader of the most exploited workers is already in the midst of the struggle together with the Trade Union Unity League and the National Lumber Work- ers Union is organizing councils of the unem- ployed and are holding demonstrations in be- half of the unemployed worker March 6 was only the beginning of our drive. The Communists are the only ones who are exposing the imperialist attacks against the Filipino workers as part of the imperialist plans for a world war, for the attacks against the Soviet Union, and keeping the colonial masses under the iron heel of American im- perialism. The Communist Party calls on all workers to unite with our Filipino brothers in common struggle against the Klan, hte Amer- ican Legion, and the whole capitalist system, to defeat the imperialist war plans and to de- | fend the Soviet Union, and is actively engaged in the organization of workers defense corps, consisting of both Filipino and white workers, Who Are the Pay-Triots? Who are those, ihat in the name of “Amer- icanizaton” are raising « campaign fund for the detection of foreign born militant and revolutionary workers, for their discharge from employment and their deportation? The Chamber of Commerce of New York City on March 10 announced its intention of such a campaign, naming a special committee a list of bankers and military officers. It is wel! that we again look behind the motives of these Professional Patriots, and the follow- ing is a short excrept fro ma book edited by Norman Hapgood and published by A. and C. Boni in 1927, entitled “Professional Patri- ots.” —Editor. IONE of the (patriotic) organizations makes public its contributors. None makes any public financial report of income and expendi- tures, not even to its own members. All fin- ancial operations are enveloped in secrecy. All of them have refused to give the facts to terested inquirers. them even to members of their own commit- tees, holding that those facts concern the ex- ecutive committee alone. Only two of the or- ganizations are endorsed by the National In formation Bureau, an agency for advising pros- pective contributors about the trustworthiness and management of organizations making pub- | lic appeals for funds. They are the National Security League and the National Association for Constitutional Government. The others have either refused to give information, or hold that they do not make public appeals for funds. Their appeals to selected lists are apparently not regarded as public. This situation makes it difficult to state ac- eurately where they do get their money. They spend at the lowest estimate $250,000 a year, that estimate being based on the size of their offices, the number of salaried employees, and the amount of printing they do. The personnel of their committees indicates that most of the money comes from very wealthy business men and corporations. Some proof has come to light to show these sources. The Congressional investigation of the Na- tional Security League in 1919, undertaken be- cause the League spent large sums in trying to degeat congressmen whose patriotism was not of the League’s brand, showed among the larger contributors ranging from “$700 to $30,000:” Nicholas TF. Brady, president of the New York Edison Company; H. H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil Company and allied nterests; William K. Vanderbilt, director in several dozen big corporations; T. Coleman DuPont Powder Company; Henry C. Frick, of the Carnegie Steel Corporation; Simon and Daniel Guggen- heim, of Guggenheim Bros., and the American Smelting and Refining Company; J. Pierpont Morgan and John D. Rockefeller. It is noteworthy that the list of the largest contributors includes many men whose busi- nesses profit directly from the sale of war supplies. The Congressional committee report on that point said: “If the curtain were only pulled back, in addition to the interests heretofore enumerated, the hands of Rockefeller, of Van- Workers!

The Security League at that time was spend- ing about $100,000 a year, although in 1918, in view of the Congressional campaign and the entrance of the League into polites, its ex- penditures reached the sum of $235,667.56. Its budget has since been greatly reduced. For three years ending in 1919 the Carnegie Cor- | poration gave the League $50,000 a year. The National Civic Federation numbers among its heaviest supporters Mr. Finley J. Shepard and his wife, the former Helen Gould, and V. Everit Macy of the Central Union Trust Com- pany. The late August Belmont, who made his fortune in street railways, was also a large con- tributor. One trade union member of the Federation’s executive committee, who does not wish to be auoted publicly, stated that Judge Elbert H. Gary of the United States Steel Corporation has been “one of the Federation's financial angels.” The. position of a trade unionist on a board with anti-union employers backing the work is, of course, somewhat deli- cate. The American Defense Society stated in 1924 that it had 1,080 contributors scattered in 44 states and the District of Columbia. Its chair- man. Mr. Elon H. Hooker of the Hooker Elec- tro-Chemical Company, manufacturers of chem- icals used in warfare, is a director of many corporations that doubtl assist directly or indirectly. Mr. Hooker solicited funds for the Society on the stationery of his company: Mr. Franklin Remington, chairman of the Finance Committee, is a director of the Great Western | Chemical Corporation. The Petty Bourgeois Mis- leaders of the Negro Masses “THE Chicago World,” a Negro paper which fawns at the feet of the worst enemies of the Negro masses, takes occasion to com- ment on an article that appeared in the Daily Worker recently exposing mass unemployment The “World” says. in reply to our call for unemployed insurance, that this would “create class hatreds and de- stroy the national peace and prosperity!” What “peace” do they speak about? What prosperity? Negro workers lynched nearly eyery day and 7,000,000 million jobless on the verge of star- | vation, many of them Negro workers. In the very same issue of the “World” belly- crawling praise is given to such enemies of the Negro and white workers as Senator Charles S. Deenan, Judge Arnold Heap, and ex-Congressman Warfield Wilson. Judge Heap has thrown hundreds of Negro unemployed on the streets by his eviction orders; he had jailed thousands. Deneen works hand and glove with Hoover in the wage-cutting campaign that hits the Negro workers below the belt with a ter- rifie whack. The “World” had tried to cover up this sup- port of capitalist politicians with childish pro- test at the Daily Worker, which has accused the “World” of supporting capitalist politicians “such as” DePriest. The rather half-witted evasion of this charge is that the “World” doesn’t support DePriest: but does support capi- talist politicians “such as” those who are just as thoroughly enemies of Negro workers as is DePriest. Certainly the “World” must itself be running on a one-cylinder mind either in not seeking what the Daily Worker plainly said, or in taking its readers to be so dumb as not to see it in the quotation given. Preaching class peace to the Negro workers is handing them over hog-tied to the bosses; and spreading the exploded lies about “pros- perity” will not fool any Negro or white worker. Unity of the Negro and white workers against their common enemy, the imperialists and exploiters of labor, will bring the solution of unemployment and will defeat the lynchings of the bosses in the South, March 6! GREAT revolutionary wave is sweeping across the countries of the Pacific, where hundreds of millions of human beings are in oppression of which they have for centuries been the victims. In China the work the eve of a fresh ad 's and peasants are on ance for the final over- the feudal elements and the national bourg- eoisie. In India, the toiling masses are en- gaged in a revolutionary struggle for the over- throw of British imverialist exploitation and feudal despotism and for the attainment of full national and social liberty. In Korea, groaning under the iron heel of Japanese im- perialism, the workers, peasants, the youth, the poorer intelligentsia are conducting an heroic struggle for freedom notwithstanding torture and persecution. In Indonesia Dutch imnerial- ism is putting down with ruthless brutality the masses in the fight for national liberty. In the Philippines the movement for emancipation from the yoke of American imperialism is be- coming increasingly revolutionary. And now from Indo-China comes the news of revolts of the Indo-Chinese troops ;supported by revolu- tionary peasant organizations in Yen Bay and Huang Hoa, giving evidence of the growing united front of workers, peasants and soldiers in the struggle against their French exploiters. This military revolt is but one of the signals of the coming storm in Indo-China. The wide- spread movement of national liberation is. the natural result of the social, economic and po- litieal conditions that have prevailed in Indo- China (Annam. Cambodia, Cochinchina, Ton- more particularly since the French imperialists burst unon those territories and occupied them by brute force some fifty years ago. uation that has thus been created under French exploitation is intolerable. The peasants are maintained in an indescribable state of nauper- ism. They are undernourished. The rice pro- duction of the country, which is the chief source of living of more than three-quarters of the ponulation. is quite inadequate to meet their needs. And even of this inadequate pro- duction the greater part is exported by the com- mercial companies while the people starve. The direct taxation by the imperialist government and the exactions imposed upon the peasantry by the feudal landlords, the planters, the mis- sionaries and by government officials have re- duced the peasants actually to the position of serfs. The workers of Indo-China live and work under appalling conditions. They have to slave from 12 to 14 hours a dav with hardly any in- terval. and it is officially admitted that the ‘mortality among them is from 40 to 50 per cent. Under these terrible conditions 10 to 30 ver cent of the workers run away yearly from their places of employment and are subjected to inhuman corporal punishment when recap- tured. Forced labor is recruited for the mines and nlantations in Indo-China and in the South Sea Islands, and the men thus forced are torn away from their wives and children. If they resist they ere belabored with iron-loaded canes until they bleed to unconsciousness. Women and children under 12 years of age work under the same terrible conditions in the coal mines and rubber plantations. And the whole exist- ing system of labor contracts and labor in- snection is nothing but a cunning form of slaverv organized for the benefit of ‘the ex- ploiters. There is no freedom of speech, of the press or of assembly. The schools are totally inad- equate in number and quality, and illiteracy is deliberately maintained as an institution. The workers have no right to organize themselves revolt against the intolerable exploitation and ' throw of foreign imperialism and its allies, | revolutionary organizations that are leading the | king and Laos) during the last century, but | The sit- | 1 | development of the revolutionary movement are Beat Back the Boss Class Attack on the Heroic Fighters of By Fred Ellis Long Live the Independence ot Indo-China into unions, and strikes are illegal. Opium and alcohol are forced upon the people under state control in order to increase the revenues of the imperialist government. The dividends paid by the “Fontaine” Distilleries have risen steadily during the last ten years from 40 to 200 per cent. The shares in the industrial undertakings in which French capitalists have invested some three milliard Francs and which are exploited by means of cheap and forced | labor, are now worth from 7 to 20 times their nominal value. The budget for naval and military purposes and for the imperialist secret service constitutes, as in India, more than 60 per cent of the total budget. Against this abdominable exploitation, this slow extermination of a whole population by imperialism, the masses of IndoChina are now in revolt. One strike has followed upon another in the course of the last year. Colleges and schools led by the students of the Petrusky College have organized imposing anti-imperial- ist demonstrations in Saigon and other towns. These were suppressed by the armed police forces and a large number of students were ar- rested. Hundreds of national revolutionaries and militant workers are in prison undergoing heavy and brutal sentences. “Conspiracies,” secret organizations and secret presses are be- ing discovered almost daily. The cowardly murder of the young revolu- tionary Nguyen Si Sach by a French agent in the prison of Lao-Bao—an unhealthy district to which political prisoners are deported and where Nguyen Si Sach was imprisoned after having been sentenced in the monster trial against the Revolutionary Annamite Youth— has just caused a revolt among the prisoners. | All these strikes, demonstrations and revolts of the workers, peasants and the youth have now culminated in the revolutionary outbreak of the Indo-Chinese soldiers. These events in Indo-China and the rapid of great significance. Tonking is on the border of China. With the help of Annamite and Indian regiments, France and Great Brit- ain protected their concessions in China against the Chinese revolutionary movement. The revo- lutionary spirit which prevails among the Indo- Chinese troops will spread among the Anna- mite soldiers in China and thus facilitate the struggle of the militant Chinese workers and peasants. Z The movement for nai the Asiatic countries has cr phase. The masses in Indo-China have awaken- ed and are leading an uncompromising struggle for the overthrow of imperialism, while the bourgeoisie, freightened by the revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses wio are threatening their very existence, is preparing to capitulate. And in this collaboration with the imperial- ists, the feudal and bourgeois elements in the oppressed countries are receiving the full sup- port of the social democratic parties and the reformist trade unions. It,is the social demo- crats who demand that their governments make concessions to the natioral bourgeoisie in order that their imperialist masters may continue to retain their hold on the colonies. It was Va- renne. the social democrat sovernor general of Indo-China who advocated these concessions and at the same time used a'l his rower to suppress the working masses of Ind9-China. The League Against imperiatism and for National Independence warns the masses in Indo-China against the fvudal and bourgeois elements, who, under the pretextwf a “nationa! program,” are preparing to taise a joint French-Indo-Chinese capitalist vegime on the backs of the workers and peasants. The League Against Imperialism calls upon all anti-im- perialist organizations and clements in Indo- Chia to unite in conjunction w'th the raove- ments in Indonesia, China, India snd the Philip- pines to conduct an uncompromising struggle . giant! i es Ns Tae GERMANY AND THE YOUNG - PLAN Speech Delivered by Ernst Thaelmann at the Meeting of the Reichstag on February 11, 1930, (Continued) pe unscrupulous representative of German finance capital, the president of the Reichs- bank Schacht, receives today, apart from his other sources of income, with which I am not acquainted, an annual salary of 340,000 marks, In addition there is the fact that each of his sub-directors, who it is true receives less than he does, draws an annual salary of 180,000 marks, and that at the Reichsbank it is the practice that when any member of the board of directors is dismissed on account of proved incapability or any other reason, he receives on leaving a sum amounting to eight times his annual salary. An ordinary director would therefore receive a lump sum of 1,440,000 marks, and Herr Schacht, if he were to resign today, would receive no less than 2,720,000 marks. These and other people do not lose anything under the Young Plan. I should like to supplement these scanda- lous figures by pointing to the fact that we have in Germany more than 900,000 unem- ployed who do not receive any unemployment benefit. These people numbering more than 900,000 are, as a result of the fresh cutting down of the public welfare services, driven to the greatest misery and to despair. What is an unemployed worker who has run out of benefit to do when even the welfare institu- tions refuse to grant him any relief. The old age pensioners and injured work- ers must, as a result of the measures of this government, obtain their food at the public kitchens provided by the public welfare insti- tutions, which food in the last few years was given to the needy people gratis, but for which a charge of 25 pfennig is now made. Thus an injured worker who, for example, re- ceives an allowance of 700 or 800 marks a year, must therefore today, if he has three or four children, pay from 1 to 1.25 marks for this food. Great as the differences between the parties in the reparations question may be, they are all united in this House in the fight against Communism and the proletarian revolution. Today, when it is a question of carrying out the inner Young Plan and robbing the work- ing people, there exist no serious differences between the Hurenberg Bloc and the govern-. ment parties. I should like to say to the German nationalists, that at the meeting of the industrialists in Dusseldorf, the members of the German National People’s Party en- thusiastically spoke and voted for the indus- trial program which is necessary in order to carry out the Young Plan. We Communists are the only Party which has set up against the Young Plan the slogan of the proletarian revolution. That is why we are calumniated; that is why they wish to suppress us. The law for the protection of the republic, which will be discussed here in the next few weeks, is the inner political sword with which it is intended to crush the rebellious masses who are fighting against the Young Plan. With the law for the protection of the repub- lic it is intended to suppress the Communist press, which tells fhe truth in the fight against the Young Plan. Those who are fighting for right and freedom are to be thrown into prison. It is to such means that the ruling class in Germany has to resort; but it will find that it is running its head against a brick wall. The social - democratic- bourgeois coalition government has made it its task to carry out the Young Plan. We Communists, the Party of the proletar- ian revolution, have made it our task to pre- vent by every means the carrying out of the Young Plan and to render its fulfilment im- possible. That is the reason for the unbridled cam- paign of calumny on the part of the bourgeois and ‘social democratic press against the Com- munist Party. The social democratic Prus- sian Minister of the Interior Grzesinsky, open- ly declared the other day in the Prussian Diet that he intended to prohibit the Communist Party. And in the face of this the impudent assertion is made that the leaders of the Com- munist Party are striving themselves for the illegality of the Party. I declare in the name of the Communist Party, that this assertion is a miserable, con- temptible canard. We not only fight up to the last minute for all legal~possibilities of activity, we call to the German working class: Defend the Com- munist Party with all your powers against the attacks of the social fascist government coali- tion. We declare, however, at the same time: we are not afraid of illegality, for Severing and Grzesinsky will never succeed in forcing the Communist Party, the Party of the million masses of the German proletariat, to its knees. They will never succeed in separating the Communist Party from the proletarian masses. Today we can declare with pride that the Red Front Fighters League still lives and ¢: ries on the fight, regardless of every prohi tion. We must not forget that the suppres- sion of the Red Front Fighters League was a shameful act on the part of the present rulers. This prohibition cited the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in order to deprive of its rights a revolutionary organization of the German workers. The bourgeoisie relies on the Treaty of Versailles. We are the enemies of Versailles, and the Young Plan is the sec- ond Versailles. The Young Plan is not only a Pact of hun- ger and suppression against the toilers of Germany, but it is also a war pact against the Soviet Union. The Young Plan is the war program of the world bourgeoisie against the state of the proletarian dictatorship. Never were armaments being piled up so feverishly in all countries as today. That is shown by against the imperialists. whe, in spite of their mutual antagonisms, are unite’ against the independence movement of the oppre@se1 peo- ples. The Teague Against Imperialism cails upon all class conscions workers of the in- perialist countries to expose the treacherous role of the social democrats and to coll1sorate with the National Sections of the League and, through their coordinated efforts, to support the struggle of the enslaved working masses of the Far Fast. the Naval Conference in London. The capitalists of the whole world, under the leadership of America, are increasing their war preparations against the Soviet Union. ©The world reparations bank is 8 fighting organ of the international finance capital in order violently “to open up the Russian mar- ket,” to break through the socialist: monopoly of foreign trade, to establish an economic blockade ‘and directly to finance the war against the Soviet Union. Schober and Mussolini conclude a pact of aggression. The Pope ‘preaches a crusade against Bolshevism. Mexico severs relations with the Soviet Union and arrests the am- bassador of the workers’ state. In Germany the Chervonetz forgers are acquitted, the Reichswehr and police budget reaches the enormous sum of 2,000 millions. Armored cruiser A is being followed by cruiser B and then C and D. The main portion of the Ger- man fleet is stationed in the Baltic, against the Soviet Union. The anti-Soviet war incite- ment is assuming unprecedented forms in the whole world. “The Young Plan means security of peace”! declared the social democrats when they signed the Plan at the Hague. This assertion is of just as much value as their phrase about the Young Plan being an instrument of free- dom and a step towards alleviating the bur- dens, ; The German-Polish liquidation agreement is of special importance. There is thereby firm- ly set up for the first time since 11 years, the united front of German and Polish imper- ialism against the Soviet Union. In spite of the great and crying need of the toiling popu- lation in Eastern Germany, the German gov- ernment, of which the social democrats Breit- scheid, Rauscher and Lobe are the agents, allies itself with the fascist murderer of work- ers, Pilsudski, and this ptecisely at the present time in order jointly to organize intervention against Soyiet Russia. We declare that from the Press center of the Minister for the Interior there is being let loose in the whole country, simultaneously with the calumnies against us Communists, a deliberate war propaganda afainst the Soviet Union. We declare from this place our brother- ly solidarity with the Communist Party of Po- land and the Polish working class, which, in profound illegality, is conducting a heroic life and death struggle against bloody fascism. We are united in our endeavor to hasten the time when the sinister agreement of the Ger- man and Polish counter-revolution will be destroyed, when this international conspiracy against the Soviet Union will be crushed by the revolutionary union of the emancipated masses of Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union. ¥ Against the predatory Young Plan we are fighting for the Bolshevik solution of the rep- arations question, for the program of the proletarian revolution. (The President threat- ens to forbid Comrade Thalman to speak fur- ther.- Loud protests from the Communist benches.) As the President wishes to take the opportunity of preventing me from speaking, I should like in conclusion to point to that world-historical act of emancipation which was accomplished by the Russian workers and Peasants. The Soviet Power has annulled over 30,000 million roubles of czarist debts by means of revolution. The proletariat of the Soviet Union has not paid and never will pay to im- perialism a single penny for debts, interest or reparations. On the other hand, there is being accomplished in the land of the prole- tarian dictatorship that magnificent work, the heroic struggle to build up socialism. Whilst’ in Germany a five year finance plan of in- tensified plundering of the masses is set up, the Soviet Union, with the help of the magni- ficent Five Year Plan, is victoriously building up socialism. In capitalist Germany the Young Plan prevails against the workers; in the So- viet Union the Five Year Plat rules for the workers ‘and peasants. The proletarian emancipation fight against the Young Plan is indissolubly connected with the daily fight of the whole working class. In the fight against the Young Plan the prole- tariat employs all forms of the revolutionary class struggle, whereby the weapon of the political mass strike begins to play a decisive role, We place ourselves at the head of the fight of the workers in the factories and of the unemployed. 2 We can imagine a ‘government in Germany which will ruthlessly annul the Young Plan by revolutionary means. It is the German Soviet government, the future government of the victorious German proletariat.» (The President interrupts the speaker by continually ringing his bell. Disturbance in the whole-house. Ap- Pplause from the Communists), . When the dictated peace of Versailles was on the point of being concluded, the Commu- nist International declared in its appeal of its first World Congress to the workers of all countries, written by Lenin: ¥ “The dictatorship of the proletariat and the ‘establishment of the Soviet Power—that is the only conclusion for the proletariat of the whole world: to draw from. the lesson of Versailles.” ° Phiay oa We German Communists will di i lesson, this Bolshevik conclusion er het eed cordingly at the head of the working class. Whilst in Germany fascism. is coming into Power, there exists in the Soviet Union the red army of the armed proletariat. We are Proceeding on the road to the creation of a revolutionary state power, to the overthrow of all exploiters. The bourgeoisie and social fascism are leading the country to disaster. We, the Communists, will prevent this disas- ter. When we are in power we will break the yoke of international capital and annul all reparations obligations, We will see to it that the workers who have been thrown onto the street by capitalism obtain work. We will put an end to the exploiters’ pact of the bank magnates, employers, speculators and profit- eers. We will break the rule of finance capi- tal and of the social fascists. That is what we are fighting for, whether permitted or pro- hibited, legal or illegal. We are fighting in order to set up in. place of the present Young Germany a Soviet’ Ge: a pBro- longed applause from the Commntlian: a
