THE DAILY WORKER CRISIS DEMANDS 5, 000 NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! Dail Central Org Entered as second-class mn’ at New York, N. ¥., Vol. VIII, No. 286 tter at the Post Office «Worker (Section of the Communist International) ommunist Party U.S.A. CITY ARREST UNEMP Workers! Unite Against Your Enemies! Wo. it is necessary that you think—as you have never thought before—how YOUR life, and the lives of those dear to you, are linked up with the fate of OTHER WORKERS, in Germany, in China, in the Soviet Union! It is necessary because the CAPITALISTS THINK THAT WAY! The capitalists tell you that you “have no right” to unite with workers of other lands. But, workers, look at any newspaper, and see how the capi- talists of America are mixed up, oh, very closely, with the capitalists of other countries! Workers, you have not only the “right” but the duty—yes, more, the NECESSITY—of understanding and ACTING with the other workers of the world. YOU MUST UNITE OR DIE! Because the big capitalists of the world, LED BY. AMERICAN CAPI- 'TALISTS, are today IN A PLOT AGAINST THE LIVES OF YOU AND MILLIONS OF OTHER WORKERS OF THE WORLD! ‘ ‘Why? Because the capitalist world sinks every day DEEPER INTO CRISIS. And the Soviet Union, where WORKERS RULE, daily GROWS STRONGER—and the workers who suffer miseries of hell under capitalist rule, are daily GROWING MORE REVOLUTIONARY! Workers, can you not see that this means THE END OF CAPITAL- ISM?) But the capitalists FIGHT BACK! They are clubbing, jailing and shooting AMERICAN WORKERS who refuse to starve in unemploy- ment! They are arming fascists im Germany against the workers there! They are turning China into a battlefield to. choke the CHINESE | - SOVIETS! Above all ,world capitalism is CIRCLING THE SOVIET UNION WITH BAYONETS AND MOVING TOWARD WAR ON THE WORKERS’ REPUBLIC! Can you doubt it? Look what the capitalist papers say! The capi- talists know that war on the Soviet Union means they must MAKE WAR ON WORKERS EVERYWHERE! Japan is turned loose upon CHINA! And allowd—so long as it does not step on the toes of other imperialists, to BUILD A WAR BASE IN MANCHURIA AGAINST THE SOVIET UNION! Stimson “backs Japan,” say the newspapers! So does France! And England objects only when the Japanese get too close to British owned mines! ALL ARE AGAINST SOVIET CHINA AND THE SOVIET UNION! And in the West, in Europe? There the capitalists know they cannot make war on the Soviet IF THE GERMAN WORKERS ARE NOT RUSHED! And see, workers, what the capitalist diplomats are doing BEHIND YOUR BACK! ‘The N. Y. Times of Nov. 26, tells from Berlin, HOW AMERICAN AND OTHER CAPITALIST DIPLOMATS AND BANKERS ARE HELPING THE FASCISTS! In-one story it is admitted that the “Nazis” (the fascists) have already written down and agreed on plans to “save the nation from the Communists” by armed action! And in another story, it is said that HITLER, the fascist leader, will “MEET THE INTERNA- TIONAL BANKERS NEXT WEEK”! But that is not all! The story further says: “He (Hitler) has re- cently had an opportunity to discuss his gospel and official platform with VARIOUS FOREIGN DIPLOMATS in Berlin, the metings having been arranged INFORMALLY (meaning secretly—Editor Daily Worker).” Workers, this means that not only Laval, and Grandi, but also STIMSON, who is up to his neck in SECRET DIPLOMACY, has SECRET AGREEMENTS WITH GERMAN FASCISTS. And this, in turn, means an attack on GERMAN WORKERS TO PREVENT REVOLUTION IN GERMANY WHEN WORLD CAPITALISM ATTACKS THE SOVIET UNION! Do you imagine, workers, that this has “nothing to do” with you? ‘Ther why is Wall Street and Stimson and American bankers mixed up in it? Why do they act SECRETLY? Don’t you KNOW that American bankers forced‘ WAGE CUTS in Germany, then in England—AND THEN OPENED WAR ON YOUR WAGES, HERE IN AMERICA! Did not American bankers help the German and then the English capitalists to cut down unemployment insurance—AND THEN REFUSE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE TO YOU? The same imperialist diplo- mats vho are killing Chinese toilers, attacking Germany’s workers and plotting war on socialism in the Soviet Union—are attacking YOU! Workers! You must equally organize ‘strikes against wage cuts and demai.lhands off the revolutionary masses of CHINA! You must ‘ight for unmployment insurance and protest Wall “treet help to German fas~ ¢ism! You must defend your lives from starvation by American capital- i ists, and defend the Soviet Union, where socialism is victorious and get- | “ng stronger, from cvitalist war! Support the National Hunger March! Dmand an end to SECRET TREATIES! Organize and strike against wage cuts! Fight capitalist war on the worters of the world with a working class war on capitalism! “WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!” FIGHT FOR INSURANCE! COLLECT FUNDS TODAY! New York Tag Days for National Hunger March Funds, Today.and Tomorrow! NEW YORK—You want unem- ployment insurance? Then come out today and tomorrow at the. nearest ' of the tag day stations published be- Yow and help collect’ funds for the National Hunger March, which will go to Washington and demand un- employment insurance.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 27.— Mayor Mackey of Philadelphia has sent an official letter to the Unem- ployed Councils refusing to provide food and lodging for the National Hunger Marchers when they come through, and “advising” them not to come to Philadelphia at all.

C., Nov. 27. — When a committee of four from the National Hunger March Arrange- ments Committee arrived at the White House today to demand of President Hoover that the govern- ment provide food, clothing and a meeting place for the 1,500 National Hunger March delegates on thelr arrival here December 6, police and secret service men barred the door to them. Police broke up the picket line of Washington unemployed which ap- peared in support of the demands of the hunger march committee, and arrested 17 pickets. The committee has issued a state- ment pointing out that President Hoover has shown in this ruthless action indicates his attitude towards the 12,000,000 unemployed of this country. The committee declares that the 1,500 delegates who will ar- rive here after a national hunger, march were elected as representa- tives of jobless workers in every large city of the country and bring the demands of the masses of starv- ing unemployed for unemployment insurance and for immediate winter relief. The committee scores‘ the Hoover administration for refusing relief to the jobless while it wel- comes foreign diplomats like the bloody-handed Grandi and lavishes millions om ‘war preparations. “No matter what Hoover's atti- tude may be, the National Hunger Marchers will carry their demands | to him and to congress”, states the 4committee, and these representa~ tives of the starving jobless will be supported by mass demonstrations throughout the country.” * KANSAS CITY, Mo., Noy. 27.—The | National Hunger Marchers from the Southwest are coming through here today.

Daily Worker Subscrip- tion Drive Opens BULLETIN. The Daily Worker is facing the most critical period in its history. In the recent st in factovies and mines the Daily was forced to incur great cosis in its efforts to unite the workers. ‘There has been np increase in the Daily's finances to meet these costs. Recently a paper shortage forced us to curtail our bundle orders. Only through the backing of five thousand new sub- scribers can the Daily Worker meet the crisis! 5,000 twelve mpaign tarted for an inter zn has s t beco the month to solidi to establish a permanen and to MAKE POSSIBLE WHY SUBSCRIPTIONS The recent rise in circulation has been largely bundle or- ders. Tirese bundle orders represent great progress. They are of vital importance in reaching the masses of workers and small farmers. But bundle orders bring in very little money. The Daily Worker barely. manages to break even on them. T increase in bundle orders has ht a 15,000 circulation in- crease. WE MUST C CULATION INTO St ACHIEVE PAID BUNDLE SUBS REINFO! Ci ORGANIZATION The connection between interna al events d shop incidents will not be understood by the woi who read the Daily only once ina while.
