Y., under the act of March 3, 1879 at the Post Office Y, SEPTEMBER 29, 1930 CITY EDITION Price 3 Cents NEW YORK, MONDA No Improvement “There has been no definite improvement in the business outlook,” says the current issue of the Annalist in contradicting what they characterize as “te fresh deluge of manufactured optimism” which has emanated from Washington sources during the past few weeks as a phase of Hoover's election propaganda. Their estimate, contrary to the “prosperity-next- month” predictions of the political forecasters, is that at the earliest an upward turn can be expected in April next year. But even this Annalist prediction is based only on historical precedent, fe. on an examination of the length of previous crisis periods. They fail to take into consideration that in addition to the deepening and spreading of the economic crisis on a world basis, this economic crisis is being accompanied and intensified by major political developments and a realign- ment of class forces. China and India are in upheaval, Revolts in other colonies are brewing. All Latin America is Politically upset. A political crisis exists {n Poland, Austria, Germany and a number of other countries. Germany is immediately faced with the possibility of a revolution to deter- mine whether a fascist or a proletarian dictatorship shall rule the nation. Rich Germans, with the spectre of revolution before them, are frantically rushing their funds out of Germany into what they hope will be safe keeping places in foreign countries. Swiss banks estimate that already $150,000,000 in German gold has been placed in Switzerland alone. The British Empire is in increased political difficulties with the scheduled empire conference most likely sharpening the political situation still further. Turmoil exists in the Balkans, The Anti-Soviet drive is being speeded up, not only in the United States, but throughout Europe. War clouds are thicker than ever. In all countries the class struggle is assuming the sharpest forms. It is these factors, and not the purely economic factors, which are today decisive. it is these factors which will determine whether the “upward turn” will come next April, or whether they ever come for capitalism, At the same time within the United States itself all is not well. Con- tinued and increasing unemployment, wage cuts, the increase in lynchings, greater speed-up in the factories, growing police terror, etc., are all having their effect on the workers. The discontent of the masses is growing. Mass struggles are brewing. This is shown in all sections of the country. It is already causing alarm among the capitalist politicians. This is shown by the fake election issues being brought forward—prohibition repeal, unem- ployment insurance, public ownership, old-age pensions, etc.—to quiet the workers, It is also shown by the renewed activities of the Fish Committee with the preparations for a whole series of repressive measures against the workers at home and for war against the Soviet Union. The American capitalists glibly talk about “returning prosperity,” but at the same time they prepare for the worst; they prepare for imperialist war, for colonial ote for war against the Soviet Union, and for war against the working class here, There is no perspective for returning prosperity in sight. The perspective is for deepening crisis—for more unemployment, more and bigger wage cuts, more speed-up, more lynchings, more suppressive measures against the workers. Against this the workers must organize and fight. The workers must rally under the leadership of the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League to fight against the Fish Committee and its Proposals, and to prevent the bosses from loading the crisis burdens on the workers’ backs, Until now there has been “no improvement.” By organizing and fighting under revolutionary leadership to prevent a worsening of their con- ditions the workers will further deepen the crisis of capitalism, both eco- nomically and politically, and lay the basis for the defeat of capitalism and the establishment here of a proletarian government. Forward to the elec- tion campaign! Support the Communist candidates! Vote Communist on November 4th! Only One Choice The chatter in the capitalist press, to the effect that Chancellor Breun- ing’s plan for a dictatorship in Gérmany is “against the fascists,” is a ridiculous deceit. Breuning’s announcement that the government of Germany will abolish even the present inadequate unemployment insurance; that the government will conscript the unemployed to forced labor (undoubtedly at slave wages) and will “reach an agreement with the trade unions providing for a reduc- tion of 10 per cent in wages”—this in itself is a long leap toward Fascism. And as the resistance of the German workers rises against this frontal attack, an attack which will immeasurably worsen their already unbearable living conditions, the merging of all capitalist forces, both of the Fascists, those for which Breuning speaks, as well as the social fascist “socialist” party, will rapidly take place to crush the “Bolshevist menace” with fascism, The statement of the “socialist” Grassman of the German trade unions against a revolution is a declaration of support to fascism. The rapidly developing crisis is speeding up all historical forces., The lavgé number of deeply discontented petty bourgeois and those sections of the working class which voted for the fascists on September 14, under the illusion that the fascists would provide an escape from the intolerable bur- dens of the Versailles reparations and its organ, the Young Plan, will quickly be disillusioned as they see the fascist demagogy evaporate and their conditions made still worse. There is but one way for these masses to turn, and that is to the Com- munist Party, with its slogan of a Soviet Germany and a revolutionary. repudiation of the burdens of the Young Plan, with a fraternal alliance with the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union and an end of capitalism in Germany. This, of course, will not take place automatically. The German pro- letariat, led by the Communist Party of Germany, must enter, not as a passive subject, but as a decisive factor which will consciously and at a moment chosen by itself and not by its enemies, enter upon the final fight for power, The history of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and the current develop- ments in China and Germany, show how imperatively necessary it is that not only the objective situation be favorable to revolution, but that the subjective factor, the organization of the masses and the consolidation of theiy revolutionary will in a Communist Party which rejects both “left” fantasies and Right compromises, is equally a prerequisite to revolution. While the developments in Germany are shaking the weakened structure of world capitalism, the lessons of these developments are of Breat profit to the American proletariat, The Communist Party of the United States has its tasks before it of at- taining @ firm leadership of the decisive majority of the working class of this country. It cannot attain such leadership by some magical inheritance of the accomplishments of the Communists in the Soviet Union er of Ger- many, although these accomplishments are of inestimable aid in enlightening the masses of American workers and could be used.much more than they are. The Communist Party of the United States has to earn working class support by its own worth, by its daily work in the shops and the organiza- tion of the proletariat for concrete and comprehensible demands that will bring the masses into struggle, The.election campaign is one of the advantage must be taken to show Communist Party has and fights for The rallying to the polls for a vote for the Communist Party ts, of course, but one phase of the struggle, of which the persistent struggle to organize Shop Committees and strike against wage cuts under the leadership of the Trade Unity League leadership is a major task. ‘The organized fight against wage cuts, joined to the struggle for social insurance, first of all for unemployment insurance, is a guarantee that the Communist Party of the United States is seriously fig! iting in the vanguard for the interests of American worker: atte, worker to the support of the Communist Party candidates in the election. Rally the masses in the shops and mills to organize and strike against wage cuts! Unite the employed and unemployed in the struggle for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill and for immediate relief for the starving millions of jobless! And through all of this work, let the American workers be inspired by the advance toward Soviet Germany, and by the victorious socialist con- struction of the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union! opportunitf®s of which the greatest the American workers that only the solution of their problems.

Gray was mur- dered by a Negro policeman on the night of Saturday, September 20, Investigation by Sol Harper, a rep- resentative of the Crusader News Agency, absolutely discounts the po- lice statement, bringing out the fact that no tools were found on the per- son of the murdered worker capable of cutting the lead piping. Moreover, no pipes had been cut. The building at 2943 Indiana avenue, in which Gray was murdered, was often used by unemployed workers for sleeping lavatory, Harper report As usual, the police murderers are supported in their vicious attacks on the working class by the city officials. The coroner's jury, after a farcical investigation, brought in a verdict of “justifiable homicide,” and warmly commended the policeman for his zeal in protecting the property of the bosses. In support of the police attacks on the Negro workers, the Chicago Whip, a paper of the Negro petty béurgeoi- tirety. the workers of Chicago, thoroughly aroused by this latest outrage, are preparing a big mass demonstration and parade on Tuesday at the funeral of Gr: ward Gray, the dead worker's brother, | arrived in this city today, coming | from Texas, where John Hughes and | several other Negro workers have been lynched this year. Gray's mother is expected here tomorrow. Police are placing every obstacle in the arrangements for a mass funeral for their victim, but the workers will gather at Odd Fellows Home on Tuesday morning to attend | the funeral, and from there will | parade to City Hall to protest this | latest police murder and to demand social insurance for the thousands of Jobless workers in |Chicago. The parade will go by the building on In- diana Avenue in which Gray was murdered. GREEN BLUSTER ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 26.—The lofty assertion of President William Green of the A, F, L. that the Amer- ican worker is so well fed that he would be insulted at unemployment insurance {s too strong even for those lower ranks of the bureaucracy that have to face even the most skilled and bourgeoisified sections of the American working class, Latest to take Green to task is the Minnesota Union Advocate, offi- clal organ of the Minnesota State Federation of Labor, “When did Mr, Green learn,” it asks, “that an unemployed worker will not gladly accept compensation from society when society fails to provide an opportunity for the work- er to earn a living by labor? “Mr. Green has an entirely errone- ous idea of unemployment compen- sation. It {s not a dole nor is it charity; it is the pay allowed a vse- ful member of society when, through mismanagement, the machinery of production has gotten out of gear. Voluntary funds are a miserable substitute for real compulsory unem- ployment insurance. Workers should not contribute to unemployment funds. The money should be raised by. taxes on excessive incomes, in- heritances and on industries, accord- Say: i Mobilizing Workers when Comrade Moissaye Olgin, teeth.

Fish,| Bachman, Nelson and the other Con- gressional bloodhounds were oily in their politeness and accommodation When Searles couldn't explain how Lenin was supposed to have sent $1,110,000 to the United States, He was allowed to read a 22-page state- ment and helped out of tight places by the adroit Nelson, But when Olgin demanded the right to read a statement, he barely got past the words “Eight million workers are walking the streets un- employed.” This was too much for the war-mongers and enemies of the working class. ‘They did not want facts, and this did not coincide with their function of trying to distract the attention of the masses from the steadily worsening conditions. “We don’t want you to make a Communist speech,” sneered Fish. “Much propaganda has been made against the Communists,” answered Olgin. “I want to state the facts and give my views on the situation.” But Fish wasn’t after facts. He insisted on inquisition methods. In order to prove his erudition, Nelson let it be known that he had reau the Communist Manifesto of | Kar! Marx, written in 1848, and wanted to know if Olgin approved of it. At least ten times Olgin was asked if he believed in the abolition of pri- vate property; the abolition of the family, which, of course, led to the we believe in the abolition of private property,” Olgin said. “We rkers must organ- ize against the rotten capitalist sys- tem where there are now 8,000,000 unemployed, and fight for the estab- lishment of a workers’ and poor | farmers’ government.” Nelson didn’t like the 8,000,000 figure because it didn’t jibe with Hoover's propaganda. Olgin shut him wp abruptly by pointing out that when the lying, distorted and mis- leading figures of the A. F. of L. of 22 per cent unemployed among the skilled workers is applied to the en- tire working class, the number of job- less is well over §,000,000. The Fishermen dropped this line of ques- tioning like a hot potato. They didn’t want the truth about capitalism.

Besides Moore, who is the party’s candidate for Attorney Gen- eral in New York State, many Negro candidates are to be found on the Communist Party ticket in all states.
