Garner's proposal is, however, nothing but a demagogic gesture in view of the elections and differs from Hoover's own suggestion only in certain particular features, as it was admitted by Garner himself. On the basis of the past experi- ence it is not difficult to predict that the two proposals will be arm- onized in a “bi-partisan” measure which will call for the kind of pub- lic construction the capitalist class is asking for— public construction capable of yielding profit under the re- | a PREPARE FOR BIG ANTI-WAR RALLY ON JUNE 4TH 'N.

They are in- tended to hide Hoover's support to} !the Japanese imperialists against the | Soviet Union. Only last Friday a war mobiliza- tion test took place in New Jersey, |all engineers and technicians being mobilized for this test.

The bosses tried hard to frame them, but the case was dismissed.

Leon Blum was held in jail the seven weeks that the bosses kept on delaying the case. ‘They dragged it as long as they could, and the Parole Board did not} allow any bail. But even after the case was dismissed, the Parole Board | was not yet satisfied, and states that unless Leon Blum resigns his position as official fo the Union and ceases all union activity they will lock him up and sénd him to prison for the entire duration of the Parole, some- thing like four years, though he has not been convicted of any new crime. | To the Parole Board of the State of New York, union activity in itself is |a erime, VOTE COMMUNIST FOR: pretense of aiding the unemployed| 2.
