M. WICKS. HE response of the United States government to the demands of the bankers for aid is a clear example of what Roosevelt's “new deal” means for the masses. The whole power of government is at the disposal of the bankers in @ fierce drive to make the toiling masses beer the increased burden of the deepening crisis. Roosevelt, two days after he was placed in the white house as Wall Street’s new hunger and war presi~ dent, invoked a war-time “trading with the enemy act” to aim a vicious blow against the workers and farm- ers and,to pillage the small deposi- tors of the nation. Latest Wall St. Move. The latest move of the Wall Street gang was carefully prepared over a period of time. In the first place it must be remembered that the greater portion of banking cépital is purely ernment seairities (which represent spent capital), and stocks (claims on future yields of production). This fact was long ago dealt with by Marx. As long as capitalist produc- tion operates on a scale sufficient to, enable the bankers to realize inter- est and dividends on this fictitious capital these institutions operate on But in the periodic industrial crises, when there is vast unemployment, when industry is standing still there} is a drastic fall in production of sur- plus value,-- Bills cannot-be met be- cause goods are not sold. Govern- ment securities do not yield because of the desiine in income from taxes and revenue, industrial bonds cannot. yield dividends. Under such condi- tions there is a heavy drain upon cash money (gold or notes). In the United States there is approxi- mately $42,000,000,000 in bank de- posits, of which less than $7,000,000,- 000 dirculates in currency. Hoarding by Rich. ‘This seven billion, however, repre- sents about a two billion dollar raise in the past weeks, This two billion rise in circulation was not due to an actual increase in money for cur- rency purposes, but most of it was hoarced. The capitalist press and the government tries to make it ap- pear that this enormous amount is hoarded by poor people. As a matter of fact it is being hoarded by the! big bankers themselves, who have for weeks been withdrawing gold and gold certificates from circulation and hoarding it in preparation for the “bank holiday” that is now on, These scoundrels and swindlers have stowed away this money for their own use, while conspiring to rob the small depositors of their sayings, and using the power of the government to carry out their rob- bery. Now we have Roosevelt aiding the bankers with his “new deal” by de- claring a nation-wide bank holiday which also affedis even the postal of savings of hundreds of thousands sal depositors institution directly controlled by the government would be safe. What effect will the bankers’ ac- tions have upon the toiling masses? At one blow it pauperizes masses of small depositors. It further gives the capitalists end their govern- mental madainery an opportunity to shut off completely the starvation rations handed out as unemployment. relief. Effect of Serip. The issuance of clearing house cer- tifs-tes (scrip) in plae of dollars will have the immediate effect of a rise in prices, This rise has already begun, and wil proceed irregularly— that is it will not affect all commodi- ties at once. But the first to be ef- fected is the food supply—the neces- sities of life without which the toil- ing population cannot exist. This scrip will have the effect of inflation —that is an indirect wage cut for workers everywhere. This scrip is to be issued on the basis of “frozen de- posits,” which means its value is lim- ited only to the paper it is printed on. It also means that even the lim- ited withdrawals that will be permit- ed by the banks and the government will be paid in this scrip, which is now printed and ready for distribu- tion from Wall Street—but which is not redeemable in currency, Roosevelt—Hunger President, Thus it is seen that Roosevelt and his cabinet is the medium through which the capitalist class is acceler- WORKERS ers—Roosevelt) is the medium for in- creasing starvation and the methods he uses to carry it out means an in- erease in capitalist terror, | Against this new deal for the bank- ers and the rawest kind of deal for the toiling masses there must be re- | Jentless and determined struggle.
