asa UR Ba aes International Notes By PETER HENRY. UNITED FRONT APPEAL OF THE GERMAN ©, P, BERLIN, Nov, 19 (By Mail) —The Central Committee of the Commu- nist Party of Germany has issued a call for united action of the working class against the fascist dictatorship and for defense of the workers’ standard of: living, The Party reit- erates its “readiness to fight together with all organizations that are ready for struggle, for mass action, for strikes,” It appeals “to all members of our class who are willing to fight in united front action, without any conditions, in the earnest desire to strengthen the forces of the working class to increase its willingness to fight, and to.smash the plans of fas- cism.” The Communists are always willing to work together with every section of the working-class, with every work- ing class and farmer organization that is actually sincerely ready to fight for the needs of the working class. Only the uniteg action of the exploited can defeat the capitalist at- tack upon wages and hours of labor, win relief for the unemployed, and save the workers here in the United States from:the extreme rigors of the Erprosching Hunger Winter of 1932- { GERMAN SOCIALISTS READY FOR PRESIDIAL CABINET BERLIN, Nov. 20 (By Mail).—The governmental crisis in Germany is still unsolved; but a major social dem- ocratic contribution to strengthening Hindenburg’s plans for installing an- other fascist cabinet was made when the “Vorwaerts,” central Socialist faily, wrote yesterday: “A -Cabinet, supported solely by the Pres‘dent’s confidence and not having the support of the Reichstag, will avoid a conflict with the Constitution only if it is found that a government Reichstag ma- jority cannot be found for the pres- ent, Such a Presidial Cabinet can be brought about in two days: either the President finds a states- man of note who will get 2 majority Somehow or other, or he resorts to 8 bureaucratic cabinet which will pertorm te functions absoiutely essential for the maintenance of governmental activity.” ~ In other words, the Socialist leaders Gre ready oi tolerate a presidial cab- inet. Their’ “undying opposition” to any “un-déinocratic” presidial cab- inet shouted’ from the housetops dur- ing the election campaign boils down now to what it’really was—hot air to deceive the. workers. The Commu- ists have always maintained that the Socialists have been the most reliable support fox: every fascist and sem{- fascist government in Germany ever since the war, and now we have the proof of that statement out of the Socialists’ own mouths.

Dec. 2—Column 7 of the National Hunger March came into Reading this afternoon with 50 more delegates from the Lehigh Val- ley, including delegates from many Unemployed Councils, from the Un- employed Citizens League, a Musieite organization whose officials gre against National March, with 12 delegates also from the Khagi Shirts whose national commander viciously attacks the march, At the last moment, a permit which local jobless workers had won from the city government for a parade and mass meeting in Reading was revoked, apparently on direct orders from Washington. ‘The police slmply swarmed around the marchers. A motorcycle detach- ment of police met the Column seven miles out of the city limits. In Reading streets hundreds of po- lice stretched in a long line along the side streets into which the column was shoved. They drove back hun- dreds of Reading workers who gath- ered on the sidewalks and street cor- ners to weleome the marchers. All Reading workers were roughly held to the sidewalks, and not allowed to approach the Column. ‘The marchers were herded into Polish Hall, the women delegates were shoved upstairs, and the crowd was kept back half a block on both sides of the hall by approximately 50 police, who said “We don’t want any loitering. Though many of the Lehigh Valley delegates are members of the Social- ist Party, the Taxpayers’ Protective League announced its intention to call off this afternoon's mass meeting, originally scheduled to welcome the marchers.

ALLENTOWN, Pa,, Dec. 2—Thous- ands of workers waijed on the streets here yesterday from 11 AM. to 8 at night for the marchers to come in. When the long caravan of trucks ap- proached from the north at 9:30 p.m., hundreds still lined the streets here and followed the trucks, embracing the marchers when they dismounted. The marchers stayed over here last night, and this morning a mass meet- ing of 2.000 held at the court house steps cfopteq with tremendous en- thusiasm resolutions demanding the marchers he allowed to parade through Washington to the capitol building. They demanded also that Congress grant winter relief and un- employment insurance.

Huge Pittshurgh | Demonstrations BULLETIN UNIONTOWN, Pa., Dec. 2,.—Just as this is written the combined Columns 1 and 4 of the National Hunger March, a procession nearly a mile long is entering Uniontown, and the mayor and chief of police are coming down to meet it. The authorities here have been making all kinds of threais against the march. ‘The Columns left Pittsbrugh this morning and were greeted in McKeesport by hundreds of work- ers. The columns stopped in Brownsville, a center of the mine strike last year, and had lunch. There were 500 miners and steel workers waiting to wele ome them in Etks Hall. Food was provided by @ committee of local wo rkers. Last night 12 members of ihe local march committee were ar- rested in a raid on their head- quarters, James Evans, a delegae and secretary-treasurer of the com- mittee is still held by the police, theuch they deny it, This morning at 2 o'clock Del- esate WVujich of the National Miners Union in Masontown was arrested when deputies raided his house, eee ee PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 2.—Coi- umns 1 and 4 of the National Hunger March, plus the delegates of the Pitts- burgh region, making a total of 1,200 marchers, were all at the big West Park mass meeting yestetday when the columns marched in from the west and northwest. The delegates had a good meal, prepared by local National Hunger March Committee with food which the local struggles forced the city government to provide. They slept last night in four halls, hired by the city government. They are on their way this morning for Uniontown, Fayette County. in the mine and steel region. The city also was forced to pay for gasoline and oil for the trucks of the marchers.

The Social Democratic press aided in preparing for just such a further step toward fascism by advising Hin~ denburg how to proceed “constitu- tionally” with a governme it respon- sible only to himself. In its issue af November 19th the Berlin Vorwaerts advised: “A presidial Cabmet, supported solely by the president’s confidence, and not having the support of the Reichstag, will avoid a conflict with the constitution, only if it is found that a government Reichstag ma- Jority cannot be secured at wwe present. Such a presidial cabinet can be brought about in two ways: Either the president finds astates- man of note who will get a major- ity somehow or other, or he resorts to a bureaucratic cabinet which will perform the functions absolutely essential for the maintenance of government activity.” Thus the social-fasesits pledged themselves in advance to help Hin- denburg and the capitalist class carry through further excesses of fascist violence against the toiling masses. The fascists will attempt to con- ceal their support of Schleicher by fake opposition phrases while the so- cial democracy will seek to cloak their objective support in more or less the same fashion, However, in spite of the mobiliza- tion of bourgeois parties to try to bring about greater fascisation with- in the framework of the constitution, this does not and cannot mean the solution of the sharp conflicts within the bourgeois camp which are becom- ing sharper with the catastrophic deepening ofthe crisis and the move- ment of the masses against capitalist terror, The Communist Party is the only Party that is definitely fighting Schleicher. It has issued a call for struggle against all fascists and reit- erates willingness to fight together with all organizations that are ready for struggle, for mass actions and for strikes. The Communist Party ap- peals to all workers to take up the united struggle, without any other conditions, to smash the fascist of- fensive of the capitalist class, MORE NEW YORK VETS 10 LEAVE {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Estimate took no action on the ex- servicemens demands, but instead yoted approval of the Purdy letter.

W., as soon as they arrive in Washington. Instructions to the bonus marchers also urge the full participation of rank and file vets in all proposals and decisions, the registration of the vets by their own representatives, the inclusion of Negro veterans on all committees and a determined struggle against all attempts to segregate the Negro vets. ‘The Rank and File Committee also announced that, in addition to pre- senting a petition for the immediate payment of the bonus without cuts in disability allowances, the marchers will join in a mass tribute to Hushka and Carlson, the two veterans who were murdered when police attacked the first bonus marchers on Bloody Thursday, July 28. ei mee Herd Vets in Fascist Groups NEW YORK.—With the coopera- tion of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the organization of unemployed ex- servicemen into fascist units under military discipline has been started with the opening of barracks at 340 E, 54th St. Raymond V.

Songs and cheers and wild applause was the response of all workers along the way. ‘The police and authorities tried in vain to quell the demonstratons. At Newcastle, yesterday, police with sub- machine guns barred the way into town, to keep the marchers from being greeted by a crowd of 5,000 waiting to welcome them in the Pub- Me Square. The Column was forced off the rotue and onto a side road. But the mass meeting in Newcastle adopted resolutions supporting their demands and sent the resolutions after ‘the column, In many places along the line of march, police forced the gas stations to close, so the trucks could not get supplies, but even this did not stop the march, ( ’ National Hunger Marchers Leave New York delegations ef the National Hunger way to Washington.

Town Bosses Work Charity Racket OLD FORGE, Pa.—The workers here have just received their relief from the bosses, which consists cf $5 in grocery orders and a bag of flour. The flour is the cheapest grade pos- sible, and it tastes like wood-pulp. The head of each family gets this check and flour. Single workers have much difficulty in getting re- lief, as they must answer questions put up by the relief fakers and who do you think the relief fakers are? They are the agents of Mr. God in person. You must tell them what faith you believe, and everything from your Great-grandfather to your mother, and the cause of your present sit- uation,’ ete. On the bosses thansksgiving day, they had their big blow-outs while the workers, who are supposed to be thankful to a “merciful” god, ate what they could. In Taylor they got lousy soup and beans, Since the elections the local mills are beginning to slacken, Many workers are laid off and many lost their jobs for refusing to give to the racket known as the community chest. The bosses forced workers in the mills to give from $1.50 to $5, and the miners had to give $15 to $20, The mill workers wages are from $1.50 to $5, and now that the ehest drive, is over the slick grafters will put their hands in, and it won't be long until there wont be enough left for the unemployed to buy loaves of bread.—S. M. Marchers, Come to Omaha, Writes Toiler OMAHA, Neb,—Mayor Metcalfe of this city recently openly advocated further starvation for the unem- ployed workers, starving veterans and impoverished farmers, as a means to suppress the National Hunger March to Washington. He appealed to the citizens to aid him in his campaign to starve out the Hunger Marchers who pass through Omaha. This appeal fully displays that the Republican and Democratic parties represent the interests of the cap- italist class only. Mayor Metcalfe is a@ Democrat, yet he admits that he is acting in accord with a request from Hoover's office, But, unfortunately for Mayor Met- calfe, his appeal falls on deaf ears, Too many workers bitterly remem- ber his third degree methods for compelling workers to hand over 10 per cent of their wages to the Com- munity Chest grafters, Too many farmers remember that it was Mayor Metcalfe’s class who claimeg that the farmers had been “‘spolied by war prosperity,’ This claim was made because at that time a few farmers had made a little more on farm products which enabled them to put in a bathroom, buy a new Ford er temporarily bring their standard of living just a trifle nearer the stand- ard customarily enjoyed by Mayor Metcalfe and other capitalist para- sites, Impoverished farmers, unemployed workers and starving veterans need not fear Omaha, Sympathy for them has been constantly growing since the Bonus March last summer, —A Worker Correspondent Worker Hounded by Relief. Organization; Collects for March PRINCETON, N. J. — I went to work on the roads here in Princeton for the Social Service (Social Slave Bureau), to work for a bag of grocer- ies. They would not give me milk or oranges for my child. I lived in a house owned by the borough. I owed one month's rent, so the head of the Social Slave Bu- reau sent police to put me out. This thug so terrorized my wife that the next morning she had a miscarriage. Miss Black, the secretary of the 8. 5. B,, took my wife to the hospital to see the doctor, then she told me I would have to work out the $5.00 for the doctor before I would get any food, and that I would have to work out $7.00 for moving me out of the house. The man who moved my few pleces of furniture told me he charged $1.50 for the moving. I asked Miss Black for a copy of the bill she held against me, and she re- WORKER CORRESPONDENCE | Chats with Our | Worcorrs The organization of a group in New York City to develop worker cor- respondents from the ranks of the different organizations and from the workers as a whole is a forward step. In the revolutionary movement in this country there are not enough worker correspondents, as the term is really meant and applied in the Eu- ropean revolutionary movement. A Worcorr is a worker who steadily informs. the press of the conditions in his factory or if he is unemployed in his neighborhod; of the thoughts of the workers in reference to these conditions, and who sees that the press is distributed in the correct Place when the information is printed, Such workers help to break down the hold the bosses have on the minds of the workers. They show that the problem each individual worker faces, is the same problem every other worker faces—in other words that it is the problem of the entire working class, They help to stimulate some activity and struggle in connection with, thess working class problems—perhaps encourage the building of a grievance ‘commit- tee in @ shop, or a neighborhood or- ganization of the unemployed. ‘Thus they help to make the revolutionary press serve the purpose as Lenin said: “to be a collective agitator, propagandizer and organizer.” The New York group is not com- posed entirely of worker correspon- tain rules for the membership which will develop them as such. Every member is registered and the place of his work is his assignment. At least one item a week on conditions in the place of work or residence is being brought in by the group. The writers keep a copy of their article and send one copy to the press, A group dis- cussion of the articles written and criticism and suggestions of changes are made at their weekly meetings. ‘The group is going to launch meetings to which speakers on the struggles of the working-class will come, A number of the group will link up the talk with the role of worker correspondence in being an arm to develop the different struggles of the workers more rapidly and correctly, From these meetings they will recruit workers for their group and thus widen the basic relationship of the revolutionary press with the workers, The sroup has just started, but these two main forms of activity are the result of their first efforts, They will learn more as they grow in num- bers and have closer contact with the workers and their conditions, Workers throughout the country should start developing similar groups, Daily Worker agents should call their worker writers whose articles have appeared in the press at different times and ask them to develop such groups. The development of steady worker correspondence is an im- portant activity, and has been too long neglected. ‘The groups that grow will be the pulse of the working-class and help to widen the ranks of the revolutionary organizations.

So I have not been able to get any relief. My child is now very sick, as I have been without coal and the roof of this house leaks like » sieve. The cellar is full of water, no furnace, and the landlord, Mr. Branch, who spends the winters in Florida, de- mands $25 per month for this mor- gue. So I expect to be evicted soon, There is just as much slavery and terrorizing here in the north as there is in the South. A big building con- tractor is in charge of the relief work here. His name is William Matthews. He told me if I acitated any more against th!s slavery, he would put me in jail, so now I agi- tate twice as much against it. I have collected ten dollars and a lot of clothes for the hunger marchers to help them fight against this vici- ous slavery and terror. TI hope all other white and Negro slaves will do their part to fight against these bos- ses and landlords.

The destruetive character of capitalism, consistently exposed by the Communists, is also admitted in the British note: “But reparations and war loans represent expenditures on destruc tions. Fertile fields were rendered barren and populous .cities a shat- tered ruin. Such expenditrue, in- stead of producing a slow and steady accumulation of wealth, destroys in a few hours stored-up riches of the past.” The contradictions of finance cap- ital are admitted by the note in the following quotation from the Basle report of Aug. 18, 1931: recent years the world has been yoring to pursue two contradic- tory policies by permitting the dev- elopment of an international finan- cial system which involves the an- nual payment of large sums by debtor to creditor countries while at the same time putting obstacle in the way of the free movement of goods,” The statements of all governments involved proceed upon the principle that the holders of the government bonds must be guaranteed an unin- terrupted flow of interest off their investments. None of them even suggests the complete wiping out of the debts, both public and private, and cancelling the bonds held by the bankers, speculators and the stock exchanges. Such must be the demand of the working class of all countries and on that line the fight should be carried on against the debt policies of the imperialist governments, Only the victory of the working-class, the smashing of capitalist rule ,will finally solve these questions, | CONCENTRATE IN THREE CITIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | Kalamazoo, and merged Thursday }night with Column 4 in Pittsburgh.

Southern Delegations At Richmond, Va., tonight Columns 6 and 9 will camp over. These are smaller groups, several hundred at the most, but they have made his- tory. The course of Column 6 has electrified the South, which never saw anything like it before.

The marchers paraded on foot be- side their trucks down Broad St. to the Plaza, followed by thousands of Philadelphia workers.
