Tampa Prisoners Hail Ninth Year of Daily Worker , the Tampa political prison- ers in Raiford Penitentiary hhaye rec ived from our comrades of the international Labor De- fetise which is leading a gigantic mass defense for our case, the amcunt of $3.00 for each one of “sus. The smallness of this amount, ‘our comrades say, is due to the fact of the growing millions of un- employed workers and to the deep- ening economic crisis. We wish io thank the Interna- tional Labor Defense for sending us this amount, which in our opin- Jon, is not small. Tt is big. Be- cause it does not merely mean money for us, class war prisoners, but working class solidarity. We are sending you herewith one dollar. Please accept it as a greeting from us to our Daily Worker on its 9th anniversary. The Daily is our best defender when ~ we workers are in jails, when we suffer from unemployment and wage cuts. It helps us to fight for our bread. Long live the 9th anniversary of the Daily, our defender. Long live the International Labor De‘ense, who fights for the free- dom of all class war prisoners!

MEET PROTESTS BOSSES WARS Pledge toAid Congress | in Montevideo NEW YORK.—-At the meeting to protest against the imperialist wars being carried on by the bosses in South America and the Far East held Thursday night at Irving Plaza, Robert W. Dunn of the Labor Re- search Association, showed-how the. wars between Bolivia and Paraguay, Colombia and Peru are but dis- guised wars between American and British imperialisms and warned of the| provocative actions of Japan, which is now trying to organize an army of 300,000 Russian White Guards to attack the Soviet Union. Nicolas Gutarra, Peruvian labor leader, described the abject: misery of the toiling masses in Peru, and their growing revolutionary con- sciousness, and showed how the rul- ing class seeks through wars to es- cape its internal difficulties. Errors Explained The errors of Dmitri Ivanovich, | Colombian journalist, who declared that the local governments in the South American countries are the ones responsible for| war, and of Rambau, who stated that war was caused not by imperialism but by “wrong notions” about national dig- nity and national honor, were shown by William Simons, national secre- tary of the Anti-Imperialist League, who stated that the American Com- mittee for the Struggle Against War was seeking to unite all sincere ele- ments against war on the basis of the Amsterdam Manifesto. Robert Minor, representative of the Communist Party then clearly ex- posed the economic basis of imperial- ist war, and outlined the revolution- ary program of transforming impe- Halist war into a civil war against the ruling class. ‘The audience tmanimously sp- proved a resolution protesting ve- hhemently against bloody imperialist wars, condemned Japanese aggres~ sion against the Chinese workers and peasants and its planned. attack against the| Soviet Union, and pledged to fully support the Latin- American Anti-War Congress to be held in Montevideo, Uruguay, Feb. 28, 1933. A telegram was sent to the Chinese Legation protesting against the arrest and intended murder of Huang-Ping. Negro Nationalism Denounced by Ford at Harlem Debate. ; James W. Ford, former’ vice-presi- dential candidate of the Communist Party, vigorously denounced the Na- tionalist Negro movement as an illu- sion, showing that Negro and white workers must unite and fight under the Communist banner against the common enemy—the bogs. Ford brought this out in the sum- mary of a debate with a Suffeite na- tionalist, at the Harlem Workers Cen~ ter at 650 Lenox Ave. He took the negative side of ‘resolved that the Negro can solve his problem alone.” ‘The debate was held under the aus- pices of the Young Communist League and the Unemployed Bath House Group, a Tammany controlled Negro club. While a greater part of the audi- ence had nationalist sentiments when they arrived, many departed convinced that there was a great deal of truth in what Ford said. Af- ter listening to the speakers of the Y.C.L. of the debaters on the affirm- ative side speak, one arose and shouted: “If that's what Communists stand for then I’m a Communist, too,” -Committee, Others, Meet Today, 2 P.

YOKINEN PROTEST, AT SHIP DOCK Held for Deportation; Fought for Negro Rights NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—Several hundred Finnish and American workers gathéred yesterday in front of the Hamburg-American line pier, West 44th Street, to protest against Comrade Yokinen’s deportation. The demonstrators were not pérmitted to go to the pier, but the meeting was held outside, on 12th Avenue and 44th Street. Speechés were made in (English and Finnish, explaining that United States government is deport- ing Comrade Yokinen because he has fought for the international solidar- ity of thé working class and against teh national oppression of the Negro people. It was pointed out that the capitalist class is attempting to use deportation terror against the foreign born workers especially to crush their militancy and to divide the working class into many parts. We can best fight against the deporta- tion and other terror of the capi- workérs’ class struggle organizations. workers’ Class struggle organizations. After |thé speeches, the “Interna- tional” was sung. Comrade. Yokinen has waged an uncompromising struggle for the re~ volutionary principles. The bour- geoisie has tried to make him give up his opinions for equal rights for Negroés by promises and threats, but in yain. Representatives from the ¥. M.-C. A. churches and several other organizations approached QGomrade Yokinen, promising that the order of deportation would bé revoked and he. would be given a well-paid job if he only renounces his opinions. But these lures could not make Comradé Yokinen give up his ideas. Comrade Yokinen was to have been deported Wednesdny at midnight. All was ready for the deportation, the tickets, éte. but the deportation was still not put into effect, and Comrade Yokinen is still at Ellis Island. Let us demand even more vigorously the reyoking of the order of de] tion.

The results of the first Five-Year Plan, the resolution dé- clares, have created the full possi- bility of the further considerable development of national économy in 1933, the first year of |the second Plan. As a basis for this, the plenum resolved to establish thé increased output of industry during 1933 as} 16.5 per cent. Furthermore, the plenum established the following in-' dustrial tasks in the most essential branches ef industry that must bé carried out: electric power output— 16,300,000,000 kilowatt hours; ferrous metallurgy—9,000,000 tons cast iron and 6,200,000 tons rolled metal; coal —84,000,000 tons; oil—24,400,000 tons; machine-building—-6,500,000,000 rub- Jes (on the basis of the price levels of 1926-27); chémical industry — 1,839,000,000 rubles; light industry— 8,800,000,000 rubles; food indystry— 7,700,000,000. rubles. In agriculture the sowing area is to be 95,000,000 hectares (a hectare is 2.47 acres). The number of heads of Cattle is to be increased on both collective and state farms, The expenditures for the social insurance needs of the toilers in 1933 is to be 11,616,000,000 rubles, an in- crease of 19.8 per cent over 1982. The resolution also decided) that wages throughout the whole of na- tional économy are to be increased 6.7 per cent, with an inerease of 9 per cent in industrial wages over the 1932. figures). Farther Advance Emphasizing |the fact that the progtam for the first year of the second Five-Year Plan represents a further advance in the task of so- clalist construction and the build- ing of a new socialist society in the Soviet Union, the resolution states in conclusion: “The, successful fulfilment of the plan for 1933 makes it necessary for tuthless struggle against ell mani- festations of the resistance. of the class enemy to the Party policy of strc ~theping the unity of its ranks.

ILGWU Local Asks Stagger System and Quotes Jesus for It NEW YORK.—An appeal for the stagger system, backed up by quo- tations from Jesus, was sent to the covered button manufacturers re- cently by Irving Kagan, manager of Local 132 of the International Ladies Garment Workers. The appeal, a long letter addressed to all the bosses, slops over with class collaboration and promises of “ procity on our part”, and assurance that “We are commonly interested. in! elevating the button trade to a point where both employer and employee may lawfully and peacefully enjoy their labors.’ Kagan does not propose the boss establish an unemployment insur- ance fund to be maintained by the workers, instead he says: “We hope that you will divide the available work between all your union workers equally”, which is the stagger sys- tem. The reason for the boss to do this, says Kagan, is because “by do- ing unto your fellow men as you would have him do unto you, you will keep your heart warm and kind to your workmen during the dull season.” Tired of Promises, 12 Families Appeal to Council, Aided They were sick and tired of starv- ing. They were sick and tired of wait- ing for sweet promises to be fulfilled. They couldn't go on living on hopes. And they were desperate. Time and time again they had seen workers granted relief through the aid of the Navy St., Brooklyn, Unemployed Council. They wanted to appeal to the Council, too, but they had been warned against doing so. Finally they brought the cases be- fore the Council—12 cases of ne- Blected starving families. Sure enough, they werg GRANTED relief only a half hour after the Navy St. Unemployed Council militantly insisted that the Home Relief Bu- reau at 69 Schermerhorn St., take care of the cases. All but one, Mrs. Smith, a Negro widow of 193 Wil- loughby St., was given attention. But they are going to fight until Mrs. Smith is granted just as much relief as themselves. Theyre not going to stand by while she is being discrintl+ nated against. As one worker put it: “Can we help it that we are un- employed? Can we help it that we are widows?
