4) International Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON. SOCIALISTS SUPPORTING VON SCHLEICHER The German Social Democratic Party deputies in the Reichstag made violent oppositional speeches on the presentation of the new yon Schlei- cher Cabinet. The full extent of their hypocritical “opposition” may be gleaned from an editorial in the Prankfurt “Volkstimme” and the ‘Darmstadt “Volksfreund,” two social- |, ist dailies in Southwestern Germany ‘The editorial says: . “The only practical possibility now is a cabinet appointed by the Reich President (Hindenburg), which will exclude the Reichstag from partici- pation in the government as long as ‘the latter is unable to bring together @ governmental majority. We realize the implications of this statement, |! but we feel obliged to speak out), frankly, true to La Salle’s principle: ‘Say openly what actually is the case.’ “We are not interested in the downfall of the Schleicher Cabinet as long as we do not see any more desirable governnment to take its place.” Here you have the German Social- ist Party in the flesh. Schleicher, the military dictator, is the “lesser evil” for the Socialists. They are willing to work together with the Reichswehr General, who Slaughtered thousands of revolution- ary workers in the Berlin uprising of 1918-19, who is one of those re- sponsible for the murders of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, who is the hired executioner of the Germany capitalist class. GERMAN NAZIS. ALSO WILLING TO COLLABORATE | The German fascists grow hoarse | voicing their “undying opposition” to the von Schleicher Cabinet. But now ‘and then some careless Nazi editor Jets the cat out of the bag. The “Voelkische Beobachter,” central or- of the Hitler party, writes on “As we have said above, we feel absolutely no prejudice towards Gen- eral von Schleicher.” | The “Angriff,” Berlin daily of the Nazis, thunders against some of Schleicher’s ministers, but says not a word against Schleicher himself. The near future will doubtless see the open establishment of a broad “national front” extending from Hit- ier through Schleicher to the Social- ists for saving Germany from the “perils of Bolshevism.” The harbin- gers of this coming love-feast of capitalist reconciliation are largely manifesting their presence. | ENTIRE DISTRICT JOINS THE RED BUILDING WORKERS UNION The district treasurer of the south- east Berlin district of the reformist | Industrial Union for the Building Trades, comprising 320 members, was expelled by the union heads for “sub- versive activity.” Fourteen union of- ficials who protested against his ex- pulsion were also bounced without any irial. But the membership meet- ing of the district union on December ist unanimously voted to answer these expulsion tactics by joining the | revolutionary Unity Union for the| Building Trades.

In its work of dividing the working class along race lines, the bosses have certainly found an excellent ally in Mr. DuBois. Said Mr. William Pickens, field or- ganizer of the N.A.AC-P., in a state- ment to the press in August, 1931: “It must have been the aim of Communist agitators to deliber- ately muddle up the matter and stir up trouble.” If thousands of Negro farmers and their children quietly starve and die without protest, that is not “trouble,” ac- | cording to Mr. Pickens, But if the | Negro croppers insist on organizing and making demands of the land- lords and bosses, if they WILL fight for their rights and for de- cent living conditions in spite of everything Mr. Pickens can do to stop them—then they need expect no sympathy or help from Pickens or any of his gang. And there is m Mr. Pickens fears more than “trouble” for the bosses and Jandlords. seen Pickens in Chattanooga in| “Let the white people of Alabama sit up and take notice: this Com- munism sapping through the densely ignorant portion of the colored population, while not im- mediately menacing government itself, is certainly menacing to good race relations.” (Here Mr. Pickens no doubt refers to the “good rela- | tion” which have been responsi- | ble for lynchings, murders by white poliee, the Ku Klux Klan, a double economic burden for the Negro, and widespread disfranchisement.)

Private Meyer from Headquarters Battery fell on the floor. He re- ceived a big wound on his head. Private Meyer works part time only, and has a family to support. Now you know why some guards- men fell. Starvation! Not enough food! Another guardsman from F. Bat- tery was about to fall, but was held up by another guardsman and was dragged off the floor. The colonel may claim that the strain of the review affects some of the guardsmen. Why did it not happen at the last review? Colonel Loeser: If the strain of a review only is heavy for some men, that they faint, then why do you send them to camp for two weeks every summer to drag heavy iron and help put eight to nine thousand pound guns in position? And take them out of position? Why do you drive them like horses in camp? Why do some men faint in camp? If the men are “naturally” weak ‘that they can’t stand the strain of a review, why do you accept them after thorough medical and physical examination? . If they pass the ex- amination, why then do they turn “weak” later? Do you think you help the guards- men by charging them $72 for a $30} full dress uniform? Who gets the balance? Don’t you think we are entitled to part payment if not full payment of the pay checks? ‘The guardsmen of the 258th where you are colonel want you to answer these charges through the Daily Worker.

Newark Boss Press Exposes Its Side in the Class War, NEWARK, N. J.—Under date of Nov. 24 the 3 main-papers here car- ried an item stating that a certain Valentine Kane was proposing to the city officials to cub down ex- penses in relief by concoting “stews” for adults at 1 cent each and for school children at 3c each. This Kane organized his “steweries” in various places and advertized for funds and signatures. A number of workers got together and wrote up an answer to this Kane, condemning his attempt to get the city of Newark to still further cut the miserable relief they hand out. They showed their letter to a sympathizer who is a very skill- ful writer. He advised that it be toned down and polished up. As it was, it was too plain spoken and to the point. Years ago he had often gotten his viewpoint across by mak- ing his letters elegant in style, humorous in introduction, and slight- ly indirect in attack upon the ad- yersary. So they let him rewrite this letter and it soon evolved into something like a classic. The writer was very eertain that in such a high literary form the letter would be surely printed. Then these workers took the letter in person to the various papers. They had misgivings that the letter was too weakly highbrow to suit them but they went ahead anyway. When they came to the high brow “Newark Evening News” they were surprised to have it rejected on the grounds that it was too strong! The assistant managing editor, Mr. Heri- ker even admitted that what the letter said was true, but if he were to submit it to the chief it would be put in the “ice box.” At the “Morning Ledger” Mr. Nuss~ baum, the city editor, after read- ing the letter stated, “why discour- age a man who is trying to do some good?” But, when the girl who pre- sented the letter began to remons- trate with him about Mr. Kane's “goodness” she was insulted and threatened. The comrade spoke right back and called this Nussbaum a dirty cur. ‘The “Sunday Call” likewise refused WORKER CORRESPONDENCE | | a certain list that one can get ex- nomic truths dressed up in fino|their rotten system might be ex- clothes so that they “get by” busy | posed. tha Chicago Jobless to Lose City Shelters { “Old Age” Pension | Is Used to Force Pauperization | BOLIVAR, N. ¥.—I have had the | personal experience of trying to get. ‘Old Age Pension’ for the mother of @ young Italian of American birth, the father having died in 1917, leay- ing the home worth about $3,000 to the son. We wrote the Dept. of Old. Age Pension at Albany and in reply re- ceived no satisfaction, then we wrote Gov. Roosevelt and in his personal reply agreed to investigate, but the word never materialized. We took the matter up with Hall the Co- Welfare Officer and the only con- clusion we can arrive at is that if he will mortgage the home he can get the pension for as long as the mother lives, then the mortgage must be satisfied. It is not difficult to see how he would lose his home, so he has re~ fused to mortgage. In the mean time he got County Welfare Aid for a time, but in June, on the promise of work that he never got, he was | cut off of all aid until I found out | | what had happened and got his aid | reinstated. But the four months | he was not getting anything, and | had been forced to borrow to get | by, they refused to make good, say- ing they expected one to get all pos- sible credit first and when not pos- sible longer to do so, then they would | help. For the last five weegs he has | had a grocery order for $5.00 to last him and his mother two weeks; this is a dollar and a quarter for each per week. Now they have made out cluding all but the barest of neces- sities. So far they have no program of paying one’s taxes, which means that to get relief one is expected to become an absolute pauper. Comradely Yours, R.A. S. Stool Pireon Retards Militant Activity IRONTON, 0.—A little more than a year ago the workers of Ironton organized a hunger march and clear- ly exposed some of the so-called re- Nef agencies. The recognized leader of the unemployed was one John Steed a stool-pigeon and candidate for the local police force. As soon as the unemployed began to make their demands felt he was appointed to the police force and did all in his power to force the unemployed work- ers to stop making demonstrations. In this he was successful and the workers have’ been forced to accept boss charity and holy flop-house swill for food. Steed is now one of the star per- formers of the police force and takes pleasure in arresting all workers who are not inclined to be docile and ac- cept the swill given as charity. This is one example of.what the Irenton bosses are doing to keep the work- ers in subjection. Ironton Worker. East N. Y. Council Wins Relief Fight BROOKLYN, N. Y¥.—The East New York Unemployed Council of 481 Jersey Avenue, led the workers of Dumont Avenue in putting back the furniture of an unemployed worker at 547 Dumont Avenue. ‘This worker has a wife and a 7 months old baby. The Home Relief puro had told the worker time after time to go home and wait for the investigator. However the landlord, not fearing the workers, put the furniture on the street again Thursday morning. ‘The whole block was in an uproar. ‘The investigator promigd to see thet the worker was taken care of by the evening. The Council told the workers to be on the street and organized the workers in the house at a meeting last Sunday. ‘The investigator said he would be back at 6 pm. By 8:30 he had not shown up and the Council, backed by the workers of the Hinsdale ‘Youth Club, made ready to put back the furniture. The investigator showed up then. The council de- nounced him for keeping the worker on the street. The investigator made @ sobbing speech that he was not able to do anything. The council speakers exposed the relief buro again. The cops then broke up the meeting. ‘The council brought the platform from the relief investigator. Then a member of the council found rooms.

LL.D. Office Raided Freeman Sm Cites 3-Fold Increase Tremendous Raising By VERN SMITH. NEW YORK.—Where Ham Fish rushed in. Levine, in his debate at New Star Casino Wednesday night with Joseph Freeman, made the cent: slanders and wild lies which he and Journalists” the now flooding into the capitalist press of the world. Levine, author of the anti-Soviet °- } and one of | ts | book “Red Smoke,” Hearst's Berlin and Riga speci: on the Soviet Union for the last six | years, had the negative side of the | j question, “Is the Five Year Plan a} Success?” The debate which took | place last night was under auspices of the John Reed Clubs of U. S. A. "Th the end, he rushed in confusion from the platform rather than either answer or hear answered a question from Sender Garlin, member of the | Daily Worker Staff, as to why he| put over that particularly nauseating | piece of propaganda in the Scripps | ‘Howard papers, the insinuation that Stalin murdered his wife. Freeman in summing up the ques- | tions, fixed on Garlin’s query about Levine’s slander in regard to Stalin’s wife as the key to the whole posi- tion of Levine. Levine got that “in- formation” press of Paris, Freeman pointed out, and mercilessly lashed the jackals of capitalist journalism who even when in Moscow get their “news of the Five Year Plan from the Polish and Japanese embassies. The debate opened with Freeman, author of “The Soviet Worker” and editor of The Masses, stating: “A debate on the Five Year Plan is a debate on the Revolution itself.” He presented a mass of evidence—facts jand figures admitted by all respon- | sible capitalist journalists and their | torturer of the Catholic Inquisition.’ financial organs, not those for work- ers but the ones the business men | read themselves. Freeman pointed out that planned | national economy is inseparable from the revolution and from rule by the workers and farmers. Only | the civil war and intervention held | back until 1928 the beginning of the first Five Year Plan. It is not a product of scientists alone, but of| the whole people. They voted for} it in meetings, but they voted in} most unanswerable form by carrying | it out. | Hoover and The Pian. } Tt corresponds exactly in time (1928 to 1932) with the “Hooverian Age” in America, and while disaster and famine marked the years of Hoover, the Soviet Union plunged ahead, to two and a half times greater in- dustrial output than in 1927, and three times greater than in 1913, Freeman said. The money wage of each of the enormously increased number of industrial workers in the Soviet Union went up 42 per cent, but also the benefits of social in- surance went up three. fold. Thirteen per cent of the popula- tion of Russia could read and write in 1913, but 55 per cent in 1926 and now over 80 per cent are literate, Freeman pointed out. Originally it was planned for compulsory educa- tion for the children entering the first year of school in 1934, but so overwhelmingly did the workers and farmers respond that compulsory education for eight years of school- ing is a fact in 1932. There are a million students In technical institutions in 192 as) compared with 46,000 in 1915. The} newspager circulation is 35,000,000 now, a ten times increase. Originally meant to collectivize the Five Year Plan has collectiivized a quarter of the farmers by 1933, two thirds in 1932. Rising Standards, The first Pive Year Plan was to establish a base of heavy industry, of machines that make goods and other machines, preliminary to the enormous expansion of light industry and goods that people consume, which will come now, Even so, con- sumers goods, shoes, clothing, food, etc., multiplied while the heavy in- dustry base was being built, Free- man showed.
