BOSS AGENTS HE ON BANK CRAS® (CONTINUED FROM PAC ONE) under the caption More Bank Failures.’” A story neaded: “Pre- dict 100 More Failures,” was featured | on the 15th of December. This has| been borne’ out by the actual crash of more than 100 banks, among which were the Chelsea Bank & Trust Co., the Bankers Trust Co. of Phila-| delphia, and dozens of bank failures all over the United States. “Wasn't the Reds.” The Journal of Commerce, Wall) Street organ and well informed on the rottenness of the banks, in an editorial on Saturday points out that it is because of the way the banks were operated which caused their failure. Of course, this sheet does not want to admit the entire truth— that the growing economic crisis, which has plunged 9,000,000 workers | onto the streets to starve, which is ruining millions of poor farmers, is basically the cause. They wave aside the “red” charges, saying: “It is not the ‘Reds’ or anybody else that are producing difficulties with our banks, but it is the way in which our banks have been char- tere? and the way in wh’ they have been operated after charter- ine ‘~nt lies at the root of the trouble.’ Thes2 attacks should not hinder the task of continuing the organiza- tion of the small depositors to fight for the demand: “Full return of de- posits to all small depositors imme- | diately!” CUT THIS our AND MAIL IMMEDIATELY TO THE DAILY WORKER, 50 E. 13T1!

CHINA RED ARMY MAKES ADVANCE Lies of Boss Press Ex- * ploded by News NEW YORK. .— Cable dispatches ; from China to capitalist papers in | an attempt to make it appear that | the Red forces in China are being | | defeated, for several days mentioned | | only the retreat in several southern | cities of the Communist forces.

The boat-dwellers take their lives in their hands every time they cross | the flimsy bridge that connects their | | | homes with the river road. The lit- | | tle one-room shacks they have con- | ; structed are as thin and scrawny as / the faces of the children who sit on the cramped decks, gazing listlessly | at the ferry boats gliding between | the city of skyscrapers and the ferry | house nearby. Rotted planks buttress the shacks | from all angles, giving rise to the | fear that the shacks will crumple up at the first hint of a strong wind. | Perhaps some do. Pathetic attempts | have been made by the squatters to | make their homes livable. Flower | pots can be seen through ragged cur- tains and attempts have been made | different colors—although not always successfully. Not one of the shacks | is fit to be used as an outhouse, yet none is empty and the squatters pay | $7 to some parasite who has no com- | punction about evicting them if the rent isn’t paid. Where do the squat- | | rent? Surrounding the squatters on all | sides are huge factories, for all the| | world like criminals hovering over | | the scene of their crime, Occasion- | ally, like a feudal lord granting a | | loaf of bread to a starving serf, the | factories dole out a few days’ work. The supposedly civilized pirates who own these factories make Hdge- water the symbol of capitalist Amer- | ica that it is. Directly opposite the | squatter colony, and less than 50 yards distant, is the aluminum plant owned by the Honorable Andrew | Mellon, Esq., than whom no greater | thief ever acted as secretary of the treasury of the United States. Mr. Mellon, it must be remembered, is | the gentleman, so-calied, who is the | most important, if not the sole stock- | holder of the world’s aluminum trust, the greatest bootlegger in America, and one of the leaders of the capi- talist war-dogs who are howling for war against Soviet Russia. Mr. Mel- | lon is worth somewhat more than | five hundred million dollars, A few hundred yards south of the | Edgewater squatters lies the largest | Ford plant in America, Ford has | | about ten miles distant, and moved harder, so that now in the Edge- at their jobs as if the floor were made of red hot iron plates. A little to thenorth of the squat- | ters is a terminal of the Public Ser- vice of New Jersey, a Morgan con- | trolled corporation that has, as allies, | most of the politicians and labor leaders of New Jersey, as will be ex- | plained in more detail in future ar- icles. Thus Mellon, Ford and Mor- gan make up three sides of the capi- | talist prison that encloses the squat- | | ters, symbols of the American work- | ing class, Directly across the river—narrow at this point—is the fourth side of the prison—really the fourth side and the roof, This fourth side is the Riverside Church built by John D. Rockefeller at a cost of several mil- lions. Rockefeller’s church is expen- sive opium for the masses, but he an afford it. His companies, not | to paint the railings around them in | including his Edgewater linseed plant, | recently paid a dividend of more than | two hundred million dollars.

Did we call Edgewater a prison? Then the Communist Party | is the only kéy that can unlock it and free the workers of America. And | the workers are learning it of their own bitter experience. The writer spoke to one of the} squatters, a tall, gaunt, native-born worker, Yes, times were bad, he ad- mitted. Were they ever better? he was asked. Well, really not very much, or he would have been able to save for a rainy day. “If only that man Hoover could be thrown out of the White House.” Would than alone really make any difference? he was asked. He didn't answer for a half minute and then turned hs eyes away as if to hide a thought that scared him. He finally looked up and said, a little defiantly, as if he was half afraid he was talk- ing to @ stool-pigeon: “By Christ, if it doesn’t, there's got to be a reyolu: son there's got to lata VE and reported defeats in a few places in the South are countered by greater victories in other places which to the capitalist reporters become ei palling successes.” Meanwhile, the various militarist ; factions, backed by the conflicting | imperialist powers are at loggerheads ‘and threatening new militarist wars. | There is a break-down in the oe | called agreement between the Jap- anese-backed General Chang Hsueh- | Liang, and Chiang Kai Shek, sup- | ported by Wall Street.
