A Dig factor Ih building permanent or- @ahisations is the Daily Worker sub- seription campaign.

Most important of all the Hunger Mareh has laid a basis for a nationwide mass struggle for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bi. ‘The Hoover administration nad the Wall Street rule today gave a cynical and brutal answer to the million of hungry unemployed and part time workers, represented by the 1,670 ‘Hunger Marchers and the Unemploy- @4 Councils by its refusal to even al-| forthe growing and permanent mass . low the elected delegation to enter the capital, o rthe white house, and by confronting the Hunger March and the working class of Washington with a display of especially mobilized military force of a size unparalleled in “peace” time. Rifles Against Workers ‘The Unemployed Council delegates were herded at every point of the march. They were penned in on the capital grounds by mass military for- mations. The capital itself was fill- ed with armed forces, and there was a tremendous display. of rifles, ma~ chine. guns, and grenades, against ‘worker delegates come to Washington to exercise their rights to demand winter relief and unemployment in- surance. President Hoover himself refused to ‘permit, the Hunger Marchers to en- ter the white house grounds. He re- fused to allow even the small elected delegations to enter the white house. ‘But he sent one of his underlings & further insult the Hunger March- os by stating that he would receive aly at the gate of the white house grounds any document they had to "resent to the president. Exposed Hoover Starvation The Hunger March has further ex- hosed before hundreds of thousands $f workers, the starvation and sup- {ressive character of the Hoover pro~ gram for solving the worst crisis in fhe history of American capitalism. Phe mass police mobilization against the Unemployed Councils delegation, and the refusal to even hear its pro- “test and demands, showed that its fartier characterization of the Hoo- ver-Wall Street as ‘a crust of bread on @ bayonet,” must now be modified.

Let no lay behind to demand from Hoover the release of Tom Mooney, one of whose chief prosecutors, Fickert, the procuret of the perjury of Oxman and McDon- ald,. was entertained in the white house just the other day. The American Federation of La- dor leadership, Woll and Green, not only did not protest the military in- terment of the Hunger March dele- gates, but, as in the cose of Vicee President Matthew Woll, actually |worked night and day to incite still ifurther suppression of the Hunger Marchers, and the whole struggle ‘for Unemployment Insurance, and immediate winter relief. They re- fused to consider the demand for a referendum on unemployment insur- ance among the membership of the A. F. of L. unions, knowing that such a referendum would repudiate the infamous decision of the Van- couver Convention against govern- ment Unemployment Insurance. In no country except in the Rus- , Sia of the Czars had there ever been witnessed such a callous disregard of the hunger nad sufferings of the mil- lions of wealth producers, in no other country has there even been such a costly and elaborate military reply to the demands of hungry millions for f clothing, and shelter at the cost of fhe capitalist class, responsible Can Win Insurance! ‘The National Committee of the Un- employed Council elected at the Hun- ger March.Conference, December 7th, declares that the magnificent re- sponse of the American workers to the Hunger March and the workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill, and the Nationwide mass interest aroused by the police and military mobiliza- tion against it, already evident, shows that Workers Unemployment Insur- ance can be wrested from greedy American capitalism. The organization of all forces of American capitalism, against Workers’ Unemployment Insurance, and cash winter relief, the continuation of the miserable and degrading “charity” Hunger Program of the Hoover-Wall Street government, shows that the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance will have to be found from the goy- ernment—it will not be given volun- tarily. ‘The National Committee declares that the Hunzer March and the dem- onstrations before Coneress. the white house and the American Fer lon of Labor headouarters, where “nre- cautions” teken showed that Wall Street considers all of them of eaual importnace as cogs in its machinery for robbery and starvation of the working class. is onlv the bevinning of the fieht for the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance at full wages. ‘We call on all workers to broaden the Unemployed Councils, to carry on the local strurvles seainst evic- tions and for immediate relief, against all discrimination and persecution of the unemployed workers, to svread the written signature demands for Workers’ Unemployment Insurance, to broadcast throughout the country and flood Congress with millions of demands of the unemploved and em- ployed workers for the Workers Un- employment Insurance Bill, and to Prepare for February 4, 1931, the most Gigantic series of demonstrations for unemployment insurance and immed- iate cash winter relief ever seen in the history of the United States.

Tt marks a new high point in the struggle led by the Communist Party against the starvation and suppres- sion program of American capitalism now personified by Hoover. Back Refusal By Force. Force, more force and still more force, military mobilization on a grand scale against 1,670 elected rep- resentatives of the unemployed mil- lions—this was the answer of the Hoover Hunger administration to, the demand for an end to its contemp- tible and degrading charity policy. ‘The thousands who assembled on the Capitol grounds, in front of the White House, at the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor, and at every point along the line of march know this. . Hoover's Only Defenders, Around the roped-off plaza where the Hunger Marchers stood in solid formation were the massed battalions of the armed defenders of capital- ism. On the capitol steps, back of the Hunger Marchers, covering the capi- tol grounds with a human flood, were the scores of thousands who uttered no word in defense of the Hoover Hunger program as the dele- Gates denounced it in short speéches and shouted their slogans for unem~ ployment insurance, against lynch- ing and jim crowism, against war and for defense of the Soviet Union. ‘There were cheers for the Hunger Marchers along theeroute. There were no jeers. In his own stronghold Hoo- ver found no one but the police and military, ‘congressmen and senators to defend his hunger program. The First Time In Washington. The overwhelming majority of the capital's population witnessed the Hunger March. The official opening of Congress ran a bad second. | For the first time in history offi- cial, Washington has heard the de- mand for bread that all rulers hate and fear. They have seen the unity of Negro and white workers in the demand for taking the wealth of the Tich to feed hungry workers. They have seen the demand delivered by workers with letarian organiza~- tion and di line that challenged their own military forces in this re~ spect. Hunger Marchers Unawed. ‘They have seen a marching column of workers from every section of the countrf stand unawed by all the armed preparations and deliver in thunderous unison, under the dome of the capital and in the presence of scores of thousands, their demand that capitalist government and cap- italism at its own expense, shall feed, clothe and shelter the jobless mil- lions and their dependents.

FROM’ hotel room across the stteeh from the Germafi chantellory— E - signifying hls nearness to official power—Adolph Hitler, chief of the fascist “National Socialist” party, last Friday gave an interview of mark significance. It was also significant that, from Paris, the N. correspondent opened his account of the interview by s and other European capitals have information that the n fascists within @ few weeks will take over the government of Germany. No alarm is felt here.

And the answer is—the inefeasing Weakness 6f German capitalism’s power to rule and a corresponding strengthening of the revolutionary movement of the German workeré led by the Communist Party. Repeated slections show that the fascists are failing to win any sub- stantial support among the Gérman working class, and this failure is the Clear result of the fight waged by the Gommunist Party against the deceit and demagogy of the fascists and theit helpful “opponents’—the social fascist “socialist” party. ‘The help of the “socialists” to the fascists is Clear éven in parliament, where the ald of the “socialists” who received 6,500,000 votes last year, went to support Bruening of the Getholic Center party which got only 4,000,000 votes, against the Comumunists wh 4,000,000 yoies=although Bruening’s every ach las been fascism. Brutning’s introduction of fascism has been to publicly “oppose” the fascist party of Hitler, while adopting the fascist program into his “emer- gency decrees” dictatorially legalized under Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. These decrees are, of course, aimed against the toiling masses, Tt 16 evident that Bruening cannot squeeze enough blood out of the workers By these decrees or by the lé8Al pressure back of them, to solve the deep crisis that momentarily threatens chaos to German capi+ talism (and to the New York and London bankers). Thus from the “democracy, of Bruening (supported by the “social- ists”) there is & straight line of development into the fascism of Hitler supported by Bruening, who, according to the N. ¥. American of Dec. 7, had just cabled the London and New York bankers that any opposition trom them to Hitler’s taking over power would cause immediate collapst of the gold standard in Germany. ‘This cable of Bruening’s was apparently necessary as an official Teassurance to back up Hitler's own assurance given in his Friday inter+ view to international finance capital, a cynical repudiation of the dema- gogy he had used for years to capture a mass following among the Ger- man tollers ‘and impdverished middle class, groaning under the double weight of German monopolist capitalism and the Versailles robbers of the Young Plan of reparations. Hitler, whose slogan has been “Away with reparations!” retreated the full length of the imperialist rope by saying: “We will pay what we are able’—which means the fascists will take over the job of squeezing by brute violence out of the German workers what the Versailles victors demand, Hitler, whose slogan was “Down with the Versailles Treaty” that gave the Polish Corridor and Upper Stlesia to Poland, the vassal of France, now says: “That question will not be settled by force.” Which means abject surrender of the rightful claims of oppressed German people to self-determination, to the robber treaty of Versailles and French imper- jalist oppression. To the question of why, if the fascists do not mean to settle accounts with the impe oppressors of Germany by force, the fascists main- tain their “storm troops,” Hitler answered: “They are domestic police and an auxiliary against Bolshevism, a political salvation army. Hitler went further. He said that his chief foe would be “Marxism and all that, it represents,” and in complete repudiation of the vote catch- ing demagogy he has used about “feeding the poor at the experise of the rich,” he declared that “the Communistic parts of his program should be considered seriously.” Thus Hitler has passed the examination of the American and British bankers and the French imperialists, all of whom, to save themselves from hopeless crisis, are scheming to attack the Soviet Union and to do So require that the revolutionary workers of Germany be crushed by fascist-violence. But to plan thing and to accomplish it are two different things. World capitalism has had more than one plan come to Naught by the revolutionary action of the working class.
