HE drive to establish a Communist Weekly Newspaper in the South is now open. The importance of such a newspaper cannot be exaggerated. The working class in the South one of the most brutally exploited sections of the American proletariat, is rapidly awaken ing to revolutionary consciousness. The cla struggle is now raging in the South with ever increasing intensity. The names of Gastonia Marion, New Orleans, Elizabethton, and other centers of the struggle in the South are hailec not only throughout the American continent but the whole world as the symbols of a great rising working class movement. But..so far, our Communist Party work in the South still left much to be desired. Among the many important problems that we have to tackle, in regard to the South, one of the most important questions, is the establishment of a newspaper which will serve as a center for agitation as well as organization among the southern workers. Our first difficulty in this avork, of course, is the question of money. The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the U. S.A., therefore, decided to call upon 23 of our larger language papers to conduct a drive. fpr a fund to establish a Weekly Com- munist ‘Newspaper in the South. The lan- guage papers, in carrying out this important task must rally around them all fraternal or- ganizations and the non-Party masses to the support of this drive. The total amount that we *plaf_ to secure is $5,790, with different quotas alloted to the different papers. This sum’ will enable the Party to start a weekly in the South. Once siarted, the southern workers will certainly be able to maintain it. The results of the drive up to March 15 are listed-i the following table. The Lithuanian paper, Laisve, stands on top of the list with 50%. of the quota already in. The Finnish Weekly Pennikki, follows up a good second, with 48% of its quota fulfilled. The Finnish Daily, Eteenpain, stands third, with a result of 24%." The results so far are not bad, but there are still 15 papers which have not yet pais Strvvesant he Daily Worker 26-28 (Union 1898-7-8, Cable: N Square. New York, handed in any sums.

S. A. By Fred Ellis Unemployment in India '1E crisis of unemployrzent that has arisen in India and has become especially acute during the last year is a direct result of the intensification of imperialist exploitation since the war. ‘The problem has become particularly serious among the educated and half-educated middle class, and wide public attention has been atiracted to their position by the increas- ing cases of suicide among the unemployed during the last. few months. Before the war when India was mainly 4 source of raw ‘materials and food-stuffs and a market for British manufactured goods, the chief object of the imperialists in their educa- tional policy was to create a sufficient number of educated men to occuny positions as minor employees in the Government service and in the conynercial companies. The whole school and university system was based on tl mperialist need, and the education given was of a more or less literary character, no attention being paid to industrial, technical or agricultural subjects. But even before the war, there wa: an overproduction in men of this type and there was not. sufffcient room for them in the im- perialist administrative machinery. During and for a short time affer the war, there was a sudden development of industries primarily for the supply of Great Britain’s war needs, and there was a temporary outlet for the prod- acts of the schools and colleges. But the situation has changed during the last eight years, and industrial and agricultural conditions have worsened. The already heavy pressure upon the soil is increasing owing to the influx of the unemployed and of industrial workers. on strike from the towns. Neither the quantity nor the methods of agricultural pro- duction have improved, industrial development has been only as rapid as was needed for Brit- ish capitalist interests but has not been rapid enough to.provide employment for the surplus population.of.the agricultural areas or for the educated middle class, and the depression in the existing industrial and trade situation has led to the dismissal of large numbers of commercial employees and to reductions in wages. The economic and political situation is best reflected in the textile industry—the leading industry’“of India. The Indian Textile mill- owners have made fortunes during the last three decades by the direct plunder of their wort ‘hut they are now faced with the seri- ous «ss in the industry. Their ignorance, the al inefficiency of their factories, the is “roportionately high salaries paid to their manag-r.. and agents, the absence of an efficient: sales organization and their inability to compete with Lancashire, Japan and Amer- | iea, inc spite of the low wages paid to their workers, are forcing the millowners to seek | ways and means of enhancing the profits. As thesé profits must naturally be squeezed out of the workers directly and the broad masses of the comsumers indirectly, the millowners have been resorting to rationalization, to attempted . educated middle class in the provinces of Mad- | their,growing unemployment and their radical- The result is that hundreds of thousands of employees in the industrial concerns, in com- mercial companies, in government service, are being dismissed, while the employers are ex- ploiting the unemployment situation to reduce still further already miserable wages of their employees. Unemployment is most intense among the ras, Malabar and Punjab, but it has also be- come extremely acute in Bengal. The political consequences of the worsening conditon of the middle class are of considerable importance. The intelligentsia, which ‘s either unemployed | or extremely ill-paid, has become radicalized during the last few years and is taking an ac- tive part in the struggle against imperialism and for national independence. Whereas for- merly they were more closely identified with political programs of the bourgeoisie, they are now being attracted increasingly to the organi- ation of workers and peasants with whose in- terests they to some extent feel that their own are bound up. The rapid growth of Yuoth Leagues and Student Associations, the active part played by them in workers’ strikes, in the trade union movement, in the Workers and Peasants Parties, in the cooperatives, in the Peasant Unio’ ete., are results of this in- creasing radicalization. The unemployed mid- dle class youth are beginning to form them- selves in unions. An appeal issuel by the B.U. Y.E. (Bengal Unemployed Youth Union) tells them that they “should remember that they have not been born to creep and crawl, wal- lowing in the deep mire of penury, but to re- volt against all tyrann It is a revolution- ary age they are living in.” But the middle class youths, notwithstanding ization are still unclear in their aims, They | are clamoring for industrial and agricultural reduction in wages, to legislation against the | trade union rights of workers, to attempted | anti-strike, Jegislation and to demand for in- creased protection against foreign competition. The ‘inevitable conflict between the workers | and their employers has found expression dur- | ing the last two years in the historic strikes of ‘hundreds of thousands of textile workers | under the leadership of the Girni Kamgar | Union. “In addition, thousands of employees have been thrown out of work. A further in- creasé in unemployment is bound to result in je near future because of the fact that the -S.A. capitalists, who suffered a very serious low owing to the recent collapse of the New ¥ork stock market, are expected to go in for a wholesale dumping of their textile and other Products development, they are appealing to the Indian capitalists to build more industries and pay more attention to the educated middle class, they want the government to establish a ship- building industry, to employ them in the army and navy, ete. These appeals to the gowern- ment, to the Indidn gapitalists and to the Na- tionalist leaders, are accompanied by, the threat that “the problem, if it remains untackled for a further periodof time will compel the youths of the country to oscillate between’ poverty and revolution.” Another aspect of Indian unemployment is that large numbers of Indian educated and half educated middle class youths emigrate to Burma, Ceylon and the Malay States in search of employment, in the belief that the rubber and tea plantations, the tin-mines, ete. offer lucrative employment. But the unemployment problem in these countries is just as acute as in India, and the competition with Indians in their own countries is leading to a growing anti-Indian feeling finding expression in the slogans of “Burma for the’ Burmans,” “Ceylon for the Ceylonese,” “Malay for the Malayans.” But the pressure of imperialist exploitation in all these countries will lead to a further worsening of the conditions of life not only of the workers and peasants but of the edu- cated middle-class also, and the radicalized in- teligentsia will learn in the course of the strug- gle that the only improvement in their lot is possible by the complete overthrow of imper- ialism and the establishment of a workers’ and peasants’ republic. At a meeting of the Bengal Unemployed Youths union recently held in Calcutta it was resolved to organize an “Unemployment Day” with demonstrations, public meetings, etc., throughout the country. Steps have been taken that the “Unemployment Day shal) be the sixth of March, so that the unemployed in India’ may demonstrate simultaneously with their comrades all over the world on the Inter- national Day set apart for that purpose,” By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. HE 59th Anniversary (March 18, 1930) of the immortal Paris Commune; more than any other annual commemoration of this his- toric event, has a special significance for the toiling millions of America, now in the period of ever-sharper class battles with ‘their op- struggling against hunger, unem- imperialist war pressors, ployment and the growing danger. . Not only mighty. inspiration but practical lessons in revolutionary class struggles can and must be drawn by Amerjcan labor from the history-making days of March, April and May, 1871, when the courageous and daring workers of Paris, blazing new struggle trails for their class,.took over the powers of gov- ernment for the triumphant masses. Labor Learns Commune’s Lessons. It is exactly in these days of marching mil- lions of hungry jobless, militantly raising the slogan of “Men Fight, Cowards Starve!”, that workers readily reflect on the previous strug- gles of their class. New masses this year will therefore rivet their attention on the Paris Commune’s anniversary, learning the signifi- cance of this tremendous event. During the few weeks from March 18th to May 29th the Paris Commune endured against all its foes. Then it was finally drowned in the blood of, massacred workers, slaughtered by the tens of thousands by the French bour- geoisie, who were only able to carry out their frightful wholesale murder with the aid of the Prussians at the gates of the city. The tradition of the French proletariat, to honor the memory of the fallen fighters for the revolution, has become world-wide. The Commune Is Immortal. Lenin correctly said: “The cause of the Com- mune is the cause of the social reyolution, of the complete political and economic liberation of the working class, the cause of the prole- tariat of the entire world. And in this sense it is immortal.” The ill-starred war with Germany, the suf- ferings during the siege of Paris, unemploy- ment amongst the workers, the ruin of the petty-bourgeoisie, the indignation of the masses against the upper classes and the au- thorities who hal proved their complete in- competence, deep ferment in the working class, the dissatisfaction of the workers with their situation and their efforts for the establish- ment of a new social order, all these factors and more combined to drive the population of Paris to the revolution of the 18th of March which placed the power in the hands of the working class. Began Decades of Struggles. The Commune, the flaming example that the workers of Paris gave to the oppressed of the world, in spite of its defeat, continued to live on in the decades of. revolutionary struggles of the international working class. The final goal which the Paris Commune set out to achieve is reflected in all the revolu- tionary struggles of the toiling masses. It found its heritage in the Bavarian and the Hungarian Soviet Republics, in the Canton Commune of the Chinese revolutionary masses, in the defeat of which American imperialism assumed a leading role, Thirteen years after the overthrow of czar- ism in Russia, the mighty, victorious successor of the Paris Commune not only still lives but grows more powerful in the Proletarian Dic- tatorship of the revolutionary workers and peasants in the Union of Socialist Soviet, Re- publics, that includes one-sixth of the territo- ries of the whole world, The Paris Commune Lives Again i Woxt.ers Loyal to Commune. The workers alone remained loyal to the Paris Commune to the last and it is the work- ers alone who are uprooting the last remnants of capitalism in the Soviet Union and care- fully building their classless sociely. It was K arx who wrot “Workingmen’s Paris with its Commune will be forever celebrated as the glorious har- binger of a new society. Its martyrs are en- shrined in the great heart of the working class. Tis exterminators history has already nailed to that eternal pillory from which all the rs of their priests will not avail to redeem Today the flames of revolution spread over the world. All races are mobilized for decisive ; | who are suffering from wage-slashes, | time work, unemployment and speed-up that struggles. The yellow and brown workers and peasants of China and India press forward to more acute struggles against their imperialist oppressors; Black Africa is in rebellion in Madagasc along the Congo, in South Africa. In Black Haiti workers and peasants died r y before the guns of Yankee imper- sm, that also faces stubborn resistance in ‘agua, Colombia, and other Latin-Amer- ican coun Thus the colonial and semi- colonial istance of the plundered peoples everywhere is linked up with the ever fiercer battles waged by labor, jobless and hungry, in the capitalist homelands of imperialism. The revolutionary world front of labor moves for- ward ceaselessly in its growing’ offensive against the weakening capitalist. social struc- ture. Capitalism’s Last Blows. In its last extremities world imperialism does not stop short of every violence against the workers, Mass slaughters in China (more than 80,000 revolutionaries murdered during the first nine months of 1929); wholesale exile of workers and peasants from Indonesia, the col8ny of Dutch imperialism in the East; mass persecutions and trials in India, Korea, Indo- China, Japan; fascist dictatorships wading knee deep in workers’ blood in nearly every European capitalist country; in the United States nearly 6,000 arrests in the two-year per- iod, 1928-1929; nearly 1,500 arrests during the months of January and February, 1930, with new efforts being made by the so-called Hoover “prosperity” government to illegalize the Com- munis Party and the new industrial unions through the use of revived “war emergency laws,” while increasing numbers of workers are being sent to prison for long terms of years. These are all signs of the. growing weakness, not of the strength of the waning capitalist. social order that seeks to breathe life into its own decaying carcass through the misery that it continues to inflict upon the suffering masses. World labor today profits by the exper- iences of the Paris Commune. Many factors contributed to the downfall of the Commune, The French worker and peasant masses did not give it sufficient support. They were not united in a strong disciplined organization schooled in proletarian revolutionary struggles. The revolutionary unity of city and country, that was also absent in the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic, but which was fully realized in the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia, was lacking in the Commune. In spite of the vast efforts of Karl Marx, there was also absent the practical solidarity of the interna- tional masses. The Parisian fighters for work- ing class eration were thus quite isolated. This made easier the victory of the bourgeoisie. Build the Usitv of faber. Here are lessons for the American working class. On this 59th anniversary, of the satis Commune, the toiling masses in the United WORKERS’ ANSWER TO WAGE CUTS ONE of the most dastardly and hypocritical | fering from,the wage cuts; it is the employed lies peddied about by the bosses’ press is the belly-aching lie that the capitalists have refrained from cutting wages following their “promise” to Hoover four months ago. “When the President last fall called industry into conference upon means of controlling de- pression,” yesterday's “Wall Street Journal” informs us, “he forcibly recommended a mora- torium in wage adjustments either way. Em- ployers and labor leaders alike accepted the idea with a facility which suggested that a delicate question had been tacitly ignored rather than settled. Yet this offhand agreement has so far been observed on both sides. Whether this fortunate condition will last out the depression is, of course, beyond prediction.” It is true that “labor leaders” agreed to Hoover's proposal not to ask for wage increases during the economic crisis,—altho they knew full well that the bosses had no intention of keeping their sham promises. But it is a lie that wages have not been cut! The wholesale cutting initiated by the bosses | all oyer the country immediately after the con- ference only shows up more sharply.the throat- cutting and disastrous policy of collaborating with the bosses and the treachery of the A. F. of L. misleaders. It shows the workers part the bosses follow only their own class inter- ests; that they haven’t the slightest scruple in shifting the burden of the economic crisis on the shoulders of the working class, of forcing millions to starve when their labor docs not bring profits to the bosses. The “Wall Street Journal” tells of an elec- trical workers’ union in Cleveland that “quick- ly assented to a request that they forego a ten per cent wage increase actually conceded.” “Already,” the Journal continues, “their lead has quited an incipient movement to force wages upward throughout the building trades of that city, the consequences of which must have been more than usually disturbing.” This is the “fortunate condition” (for the | capitalists) to whieh the “Wall Street Journal” refers. It is very fortunate for the bosses that there are labor “leaders” ready to tie the workers hand and foot in the interest of the capitalists’ profits. It is fortunate that there are bosses’ agen‘s in the ranks of the workers who undertake to hold them while the bosses plunder them and cut wages left and right. Have the bosses cut wages? The Daily Work- er has already compiled hundreds of wage cuts since last November. Thousands have not even been reported. The bosses never tell such facts. But it is the working class that is suf- | of March 6. | workers who are having the threat of a vast unemployed army held over them if they will not take the cuts. It is the workers therefore who have a tele of wage cuts to tell. Even Edward F. McGrady, one of the fat-sale aried boys of the A, F. of 1. was foreed to admit last January that “forty-nine industries in this country have broken their agreements with the President of the United States.” Here are a few cases of wage cuts not men- tioned by the Daily Worker in its summary of The Wright Aeronautical Cor- poration of Paterson, N. J., fired. the 1,600 men on its force, receiving 50 cents an hour when working, and later reopened with women at the rate of $14 a week. The State High Commission of Montana announced a wage cut for all its workers effective February 21, and amounting to $1.75 a day, according to the Butte Engineers’ Union. The Lynn Shoe Manu- facturers Association proposed a 20 per cent ¥ wage cut for its workers. Lake Stages bus drivers in Cleveland struck against a cut of one cent a mile. In Philadelphia, the Barry- more-Wilton Rug Co. cut wages 15 per cent. The Chalton Mill in Fall River, Mass., cut wages 38 per cent. The Delgad Cotton Mill of Wilmington, Delaware not only introduced two additional looms for each worker but also reduced the piece rate from $4 to $3.15 a mil- lion picks. One hundred leather workers em- ployed by the Kirstein Co. in Peabody, Mass., struck against a 10 per cent wage cut last week. The number of cases could be multiplied by similar cuts in every part of the country. In the face of facts like these, the “Wall Street Journal” concludes that the absence of wage cuts “is one more striking difference be- tween present conditions and those following the 1920 debacle. Employers who then sought ! and obtained wage reductions were legion . . . but (they) came face to face with the fighting determination of organized labor that its gains of the war period must be retained in toto.” The differences seen by the “Wall Street Journal” are the product of its own brain, with one exception. It is not the working class, but the A. F.-of L. agents of the bosses who have attempted to tie the hands of the workers. The A. F. of L. burocrats have openly betrayed the workers. The working class, under the guidance of the Trade Union Unity League and the Communist Party will fight before they starve. Ever larger sections throwing the policy of class collaboration overboard. Not class peace, but the sharpest class struggle will be the answer of the American working class. States, in city and country, must strengthen the international revolutionary front and heip | build the practical revolutionary solidarity of | the world’s working class. Join the International Labor Defense that this year again commemorates the heroic deeds of the Commune’s martyrs. This year the International Labor Defense also stands beside the fresh graves of its fallen, remem- bering and commemorating the struggles and sacrifices, the death of Ella May, in North Carolina; of Steve Katovis, in New York City victi sassin’s fired by employ- | yee ‘5 re victims of assassin’s bullets fired by employ- | carry on 2n intensive propaganda, recruiting ers’ hirelings. Murder is now as always one of the chief weapons in the armory of Amer- ican capitalism. It slaughtered six and wound- ed more than a score of workers in Marion, North Carolina; left its trail of blood and working class dead in the street car strike in New Orleans; in the struggles of the Japanese and Mexican agricultural workers in Califor- nia in the organization efforts of Bast Indian Hindu workers in the Paterson, New Jersey, textile mills. Lynching becomes more and more the method of murder by employers’ mobs against both Negro and white workers. These are desperate struggles of the dying social order of exploitation ani tyranny, race dis- crimination and segregation, vainly trying to maintain its tottering supremacy. Toward the American Commune. Our martyred dead breathing their last have pointed the path to the American Commune. ‘The Haymarket: Martyrs, the victims in the Everett Massacre, Joe Hill, Frank Little, Nat Turner,eSacco and Vanzetti, and many more— the working class will never forget. All these, like the workers of the Paris Commune, also fought for the liberation of labor the world over. Workers! Farmers! The anniversary of the Paris Commune calls for new struggles against the fascists (American Legion, Ku Klux Klan), and the social fascists (American Federation of Labor, the Musteites, the So- cialists). These fascist elements are the in- struments of extra-legal struggle against the workers. The social fascists energetically strive to blunt and betray labor's liberation efforts. Fascists and social fascists alike are the al- lies of the capitalist government that grows toward a fascist dictatorship, that fears even the Red Flag of working class emancipation flying over a Children’s Summer Camp in Cal- ifornia, that inaugurates and intensifies its drive to outlaw the Communist Party and the new industrial unions, that organizes mass de- portations, that declares open war against for- eign-born workers, that utilizes its anti-Com- munist and labor-smashing criminal syndical- ism laws to arrest and imprison workers for carrying on the most elemental activities of their class (organization of the unorganized, struggle for increased wages and shorter work-day); that seeks to seal in its prison tomb in North Carolina the living bodies of the seven young strikers and organizers of the National Textile Workers’ Union condemned to 118 years’ imprisonment. Hunger, unemployment, imprisonment, lynching or death by assassination, is the lot of increasing numbers of American workers, as their masters plot war against the Soviet Union (London Naval Conference, Kellogg Pact, ete., ete.), precisely because in the So- viet Union the workers are building their own Socialist economy as the foundation of the new social order without master or slave. The answer of the imperialists to the successful carrying out of the Five-Year Plan, which will be accomplished in less than four years, is their religious persecution hysteria with which they hope to confuse workers as to their real anti-Soviat intentions, But even this attack will crumble before the alertness of the world’s working class in the face of imperialist dan- gers. Build the J. L. D. and Workers. Justice, The growing economic crisis, signalized by the crash in Wall Street, and now spreading to all capitalist countries, with its new at- tacks on the workers, places huge responsi- bilities upon the International Labor Defense, “The Shield of the Working Class.” The National Executive Committee of the International Labor Defense has decided to 23 and collecting campaign through March the end of the Anniversary Week of the Par‘s Commune. The National Executive Committee calls upon the entire membership and all supporters in affiliated organizations to work energeti- eally during this period‘for: (a) Millions of workers to be mobilized for the counter-offen- sive against the employers’ attacks and to save workers from prison throughout the colo- nial and capitalist world. (b) 30,000 new mem- bers, including 12,000 Negroes; (c) $50,000 | for the Defense Fund—legal, protest, publi- city, literature, organization. This includes ance to oppressel labor in other coun- tries; (d) 5,000 new affiliated organizations; (e) 50,000 readers for the Labor Defender in- cluding 000 individual subscriptions. The climax in this campaign will be the Paris Com- mune Anniversary Meetings in every city and town, mine and mill village, carried out as demonstrations of international solidarity against the ruling class terror in all coun- tries. The two days, March 16 and March 23 will see tremendous mobilizations in district and sub-district conferences everywhere against the criminal syndicalism laws, for the protec- tion of the foreign born against the attacks of the employers and the persecution laws being rushed through congress. The Paris Commune inspires and rallies the workers of the world to greater and more de- cisive struggles. Defend the Communist Party, the new in- dustrial nnions and all class-struggle workers? organizations against the employers’ effort to outlaw them and illegalize their activities. Support the new unions in their self-defense struggles, in their efforts to organize the un- organized, in the campaign to build the unity of the employed and the jobless against un- employment, for work or wages.
