HOOVER'S LYING — PEACE PHRASES Demand War Funds} Go to Unemployed (Continued from Page One) to use to drive the American workers | to war against other imperialist pow- ers, or against the Soviet Union. In opening his speech today, Hoover slandered the millions of workers throughout the world who were butchered at the behest of the ‘imperialists in the last World War. Referring to the American soldiers who died fighting for the profits of the “59” billionaire rulers of the U.S., the imperialist president said that they gave their lives “in defense of the liberties and ideals of our coun- try.” The “liberties and ideals” of cap- italism is to force 9,000,000 unem- ployed to starve to death, and to direct 2 smashing attack against the standards of living of the entire American working-class, while bil- Mons are spent for a new war to get markets for the imperialists in the present world crisis. Hoover's armistice speech is in line with his speeches about “prosperity” returning immediately, It is full of Mes, boss propaganda to hide the facts from the workers. It is an at- tempt to use the usual capitalist peace screen to hide the fact that the capitalist world is armed for war to a far greater extent than it was just before the outbreak of the last World War, and that with the grow- ing world crisis imperialism is nearer ® war than ever before in its entire history. At thé same time, Hoover covers up the rapid war preparations against the Soviet Union which was exvosed on the very day that Hoover made his speech. U. S. imperialism is one of the leading forces in preparing war against the workers republic, Against Hoover's lying, hypocritical speech the workers must demand that all war funds go to the unem- ployed, in the form of unemployment insurance. Defend the Soviet Union! Fight the imperialist war prepara- tions! Expose the lying peace talk of the bosses! Out of a job? Got spare time? You can earn a little money and take a crack at the system by sel- ling Daily Workers. Come up and we will explain. 35 East 12th St, it had something about his rotten factory.

You must talk with the Greeks and the girls who get a little more wages and tell them that more can be gotten by stick- ing together. The Daily Worker will try to make contact with the other H. D.

In Minnesota the district bureau is determined to bend every effort to realize its quota of 700 added readers by December. The bureau has Jaid detailed plans for the campaign and issued Karl Reeve, district organizer, sends the copy of the letter sent to all units in which quotas have been assigned to units. Quotas by sections to be realized by December 1 are as follows: Subscriptions: Minneapolis, 60; St. Paul, 40; Mesaba Range, (entire section), 40; Ironwood, 25; Hancock, 40; Negaunee, 15; Duluth- Superior, 80. Bundle Orders: (New sales every day) Du- luth, 100; St. Paul, 100; Minneapolis, 100; Range, 25; Ironwood, 25; Hancock, 25; Ne- gaunee, 10. . “Every unit member must be activized in th drive to secure 60,000 readers for the Daily Worker,” says the district directives. “At the next meeting the Daily Worker must be the first point on the agenda. Outlines must be dis- cussed and together with the section representa- tive work begun. “Every unit concentrating 6h a particular mine or factory must see to it that one com- rade each day sells the papers at the gates. This must be done regularly and daily. The workers must get used to the fact that the Daily has something new for them every day. If we slip up one day they forget and it becomes difficult the next time. “Farm units: The farmers must be urged to give subscriptions. Each Party member must be responsible to visit certain connec- tions. The names secured on the campaign petitions can be used first.” SCOTT IN SEATTLE HAS 5 MONTHS PLAN READY L. Scott, district Daily Worker representative in Seattle proposes to obtain 1500 Daily circu- lation in Seattle. Scott says: “Here we have succeeded in increasing our daily bundle from 250 to 350.” This figure has since been boosted by a wire from Scott which increased the order from 350 to 500. “The Daily Worker agent has succeeded in getting 25 weekly subscribers, 25 per cent out of 100 in distriet subscribed. We are here inaugurating a plan for five months 1500 daily circulation in Seattle. The Seattle district quota is 500 by December, 1,000 by January. Seattle activity indicates she will make it. Here is what Scott says: “Three months ago we had one boy on the street selling the Daily Worker and now we have five and each of the boys selling per day: Boy 1, 25 copies; Boy 2, 45 copies; Boy 3, 30; Boy 4, 15 copies; Boy 5, 50 copies.

For the first time figures in both bundle and subscription columns show increases. The movement is slow but at least it is ahead and not back.

This shows a healthy movement in sub- seriptions but nevertheless it has not reached the tempo of a campaign. Every unit must obtain subscription lists from district Daily Worker representatives showing when all subscriptions expire. All past due sub- seribers must be visited by members of the unit. Thousands of new subs must be obtained at the rate of 50 cents a month, DAILY WORKER DRIVE MUST BE CENTER OF PARTY WORK The Daily Worker drive was unnecessarily delayed by the election campaign and by the Nov. 7 celebrations. The Daily Worker should be made an integral part of every campaign of the Party. This must be done from now on. The Party organizations must immediately put the Daily Worker campaign in the center, of their program. Tables today show some distinct gains. Next week let us have important gains to record. Move your unit, organization into activity.

They; hope for better luck later. | Events Prove Truth. It is easy to find verification for | the plot in the actions of Poland; and} of Briand. Poland has conducted, at} several times during the year very! provocative activities against the Soviet Union, among which may be mentioned the apparent governmental | protection given tne as: ns who} atter-*-4 to kill the Soviet minister. | Briand has worked c-aselessly for, @ union of capitalist states, “The United States of Europe”, which the} Communist Perties have repeatedly | exposed as an attempt at united) front of imperialists against the Sov- jet Union. Briand works under a camouflage of “pacifism”, but he knew all about the French general ’ s detailed plans for a bloody war on the Soviet Union. Sabotagers’ Part. ™ addition carre the “religious campaign and the present “anti- dumping” campaign. An essential part of the whole con- spiracy was the extraordinary activ- ity of the sabotage rings in the Sov- iet Union. These sabotagers, many of them men of ability and reputa- tion had been given high places in the Soviet industrial system. They had been relatively careful, until they felt invasion was on the way, then they engaged in the most reckless sabotage, trying to throw the whole Soviet economy and industry into chaos to prepare the way for the ad- vancing imperialist armies. ‘Socialists Defend Sabotagers. It is significant that as soon rs they were caught and brought to trial, the Menshevik organizations in Berlin ordered world-wide activ- ity in their defense by socialist parties everywhere. The “socialist” protests against the execution of in- tellectuals in Soviet Union, that ts, against the execution of Professor Kondratiev and other sabotage lead- ers, where arranged with the cooper- ation of Russian monarchists. The American socialist party had assigned its leaders, Thomas and Broun and others, to be speakers at the meeting in defese of the sabot- agers arranged for New York last Sunday (an postponed to November 23) and had kept the plans sileut during the election. The first notice of it came from the socialists’ Rus- sian monarchist allies, in an article in the monarchist paper‘here, Novoye Russkoye Slovo, as has been previ- ously explained in the Daily Worker. Took Orders From France. The plot was discovered in Moscow through the prosecution of the sabot- agers. It was found by the Peoples Commissariat of Justice there that) the sabotagers were an essential part | of the war plot, in close touch and taking the orders of the French gen- eral staff and the politicians and cap- italists working up the war. The indictment by N. V. Krylenko, assistant commissar for Justice, and public prosecutor, issued yesterday, | outlines the plot in so far as it has been exposed. Krylenko names the technicians: Ramsin, Kilimmikov, Laritchev, Tcharnovsky, Fedotov, Ku- prin, Ochkin and Sitnin as members | of @ counter revolutionary group called “The Industrial Party.” The indictment states, in part: “Simultaneously the accused, thru @ trade and industrial committee, entered into criminal relations with ruling circles in France in the per- sons of the former head of the Frenc' Government.

POLETAYEV, IS DEAD MOSCOW.—The old Bolshevist and metal worker Comrade Poletayev has died here after a long illness. Polet- ayev was elected by the workers as a member of the third Duma under caarism. He rendered great services to the revolutionary press under ezarism and afterwards. The tv newspapers “Pravda” and “Isv ia” were founded with his active assist- ance. MACHINE GUN STOCK UP AS WAR APPROACHES WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 11—R. F. Hudson, vice-president of Auto- matic Guns, Inc. has circularized Washington correspondents, suggest- ing that they buy stock in his Hudson gun manufacturing concern. “The nations of the world are ap- propriating over four billion dollar: @ year for defense,” he says. “Mil- lions of this will be spent for anti- aircraft guns, Experts agree that adequate defense is based on ability to counteract attack from the air Anti-aircraft guns, used during tht Under | World War, are now obsolete.” military intervention in the U.S. 8.1 “Upon instruction of the same headquarters,” the indictment con- tinues, “the accused organized a special military group aiming at demoralization of the Red Army and preparation for separate acts of treason on the part of the vari- ous detachments during the inter- vention. “Upon instructions from the same headquarters the accused organized a special group to assist the foreign military interventionists by under- mining and disrupting the social structure, electric stations, railways and military works.” In addition to the French govern- ment officials, there are implicated in the war plot Sir Henri Deterding and Winston Churchill of England, and prominent national leaders in Poland, Rumania and Finland. One of the spies for this war max chine was the English imperialist Lawrence, of “Arabia”, or as he now calls himself, “Air Craftsman Shaw." In return for joining the war, Eng- land was to get the Caucasian oil fields, and France was to get other territory. The French navy was to provide transports, and the English navy was to bombard Black Seaports, Rumania was to declare war shortly after Poland, using a manufactured “border incident” as an excuse. The ne weapitalist government te be set up in Russia was to have Miles yukov as premier, and General Denie kin as minister of war, The great mass demonstrations in defense of the Soviet Union all over the world on August 1 and Novem- ber 7 undoubtedly played their part in forcing postponement of the war measures. Further determined protest by the masses of workers against this war plot of the capitalists and capitalist governments must be had. The work« ing class must make it known in no uncertain terms that any attempt to use the masses for yar on the U.S, S.R. will result in civil war in the by the French headquarters for capitalist countries.
