V.CL. AT MEET WHICH SOCIALIST YOUTH LEADERSHIP RESISTED NEW YORK. — A demonstration was held last Saturday against Ger- man fascism at Union Square organ- ized by the Young Peoples Socialist League. This separate meeting fol~ jews after many efforts to establish united action of all youth which was proposed by the Young Communist League. At the demonstration the rank and file of the YPSL was responsive when they observed posters of the YCl and showed a desire to fight tose- ther against fascism. But some 72 | SL speakers stopped all reference to build a united movement. The Young Communist League criticizes those who disrupted the meeting by creating fights. This is not the way to expose those who hinder the unity of the working youth, Through participation and definite actions we will win the sup- port of these young workers and students to struggle together.

The Roosevelt administration, has given definite indication that it is growing more inflationary. It has also given official acknowledgment that the bank crisis is not over. It has proposed farm-mortgage and a home~ mortgage relief bills. It has proposed 2 plan to “insure” bank deposits of Federal Reserve banks. The sum total of all the recent developments is that the administration has definitely in- dicated that it is planning to com~ bine deflationary measures with an inflation program. The administration calis its pro- posals “reflation.” But the essence of its acts is inflation. The essence of the administration proposals is a forced expansion of credit through various financial and budget maneu- vers. The Roosevelt administration is planning a two billion dolar home- mortgage “relief” program. The bill now before Congress provides for the issue of bonds through the Home Loan Bank Board for refinaneing pri- vate mortgages on homes. It is pro- posed that the government guarantee the interest but not the principal on the proposed bonds which the govern- ment will issue. All insurance com- panies, banks, and mortgage com- panies will be able to exchange their present investments in mortgages on private homes for government bonds. ‘The government will also sell the bonds in the open market and use the funds thus raised for refinancing investments by giving them ment bonds in exchange for government will guarantee 3 Fa ul EH $ part of the losses of the Wall Street Finance capital, since the governy ment will have to impose additional taxes upon the people to make good its guarantee. ‘The significant feature of this act is that it is really inflationary. Where will the funds come from? They certainly cannot come from increased government inconte. The budget crisis grows, and the deficit is greater than ever. The money necessary to guar- antee interest payments on these mortgage bonds, will ultimately re- quire currency expansion, ‘The bill is loudly advertised as be- ing a “relief” bill for the home own- ers. But all the relief it provides to the small home owner, who is being driven to the wall by the crisis, and who is having his life savings wiped out by bank mortatoria. and mortgage foreclosyres, is to refinance his mort- gage so that his interest payments will be yeduced from 6 te 5 per cent, The small home owners are being crushed by Ling aap] A real relief Program wot provide for eemplete cancellation. Roosevelt reduces the burden from 6 to & per cent, and guaranteés the profits of the rich in- a homie relief is direct E The Roosevelt administration is at- tempting to conceal the extent of the present bank crisis, and to pacify the resentment of the small deposit~ ors with a proposal to “insure” bank deposits. details of the plan are not yet available, but it provides for a new corporation to be capitalized at $2,000,000,000, whose function it will be to guarantee deposits of Federal Reserve banks. Who will contribute to the fund, how much of a guarantee it will prox vide, the precise nature of its legal relation to the banks, and similar questions still remain unanswered. However, Chairman Steagall of the House Banking Committee said that he was in favor of having depositors contribute to the guarantee fund. Despite misleading reports widely spread, the guarantee will not be in any sense a government guarantee, but only the guarantee of the new corporation. There are over $40,000,- 000,000 in bank deposits. There are ever $5,000,000,000 tied up in banks which are still completely closed. It APES i al i E i 3 i $2 fe Fe g B 3 i ask ?

At the same time that Roossvelt slashes the wages of Fed- eral employees, because of a supposed drop in the cost of living, he makes | plans to raise the prices of farm eommodities through the farm allot- ment bill. The Administration has low its deflationary acts by # pro- gram of raising prices, or inflation. The Senate Agricultural Committee has already gone on record as favor- ing inflation. Following this, Senator Borah declared that unless the infla- for a worse crash than we have yet Wittessed. It-is pretty weli agreed that higher commodity prices will surely be realized within the next six months. All these developments indicate clearly that the Roosevelt government is well on its way towards further in- flation by way of budget and credit expansion. The outlook is definitely | for a rise in commodity prices. MORE PAPER AND STILL LESS GOLD Government Reduces Gold Note Supply WASHINGTON, D.

While this proccess of reducing the currency claims on the gold supply continues, the supply of currency issued under the new bank acts is inereasing.
