oe SB EDITORIAL Roosevelt Is Tightening the Grip of Monopoly Capital (esas promises the working class that 3,000,000 starving, jobless workers will find jobs again—if industry is placed under the super- vision of the federal government and if the Anti-Trust laws are abolished. One is struck at once by the trickery of the whole scheme, The most conservative bourgeois economists are forced to admit that there are over 17,000,000 unemployed in the country today. Assuming that Roosevelt's hazy schemes will actually return 3,000,000 men to work, what of the :e- ) maining 14,000,000? Of them, Roosevelt says not a word, except that he is opposed to their getting Unemployment Insurance. But what is the real meaning of the new Roosevelt “national planing” | scheme? What has been behind the actions of the Roosevelt administra~ tion as exemplified in the enormous subsidies to the banks and railroads | through ‘the R. F. C.? Comrade Kuusinen gaid before the Twelfth Plenum: “Today the situation is such that the very largest concerns of finance capital are so closely connected with the whole machinery of State that they cannot go bankrupt and do not need to do so, for they control the State and can also mobilize its resources for their own support.” The actions of the Roosevelt administration prove this statement to the hilt. Through the Reconstruction Finance Corporaion, both Hoover and Roosevelt have taken over $2,000,000,000 of the people’s money and have poured it out to the capitalist class as direct subsidies to the banks, the railroads and industry. The new. “national planning” schemes of Roosevelt are nothing but an extension of this government aid to monopoly capital. Roosevelt wants to take the teeth out of the Sherman Anti-Trust Jaws. As a matter of fact, these laws have been a dead letter for more | than two decades, That American industry and finance are in the hands of extremely concentrated and centralized Wall Street monopoly capital is admitted even by reactionary bourgeois economists. What Roosevelt's plan really aimis to do is to cement and consolidate this vise-like monopoly grip on American industry. Roosevelt declared his intention of central- izing the financial power of America by stating that the “weaker units of the financial system must go.” He is now applying this policy of cen- tralization to industry. What does Roosevelt mean wnen he says that “ruinous competition” must be stopped? He means that the Federal government will attempt to protect monopoly prices from the competition of business outside of the monopoly combinations. He means that the government will attempt to arrange agreements among the various monopoly groups in order to stop the fierce and ruthless war among them which is tending to cut down their abnormal monopoly profits. He means that he will raise prices not on! through monopoly agreement. Roosevelt’s plan is to set up manufacturers’ associations which will have the power to regulate the costs of production through regulating jhours of work, wages, working conditions, etc. Roosevelt's dominant pur- pose here is to reduce the costs of production for monopoly capital. The plan here is to launch an even more brutal drive against the living stand- ards of the workers through inter-monopoly agreements regarding wages, ete. The monopolies, will get together with Roosevelt's assistance, and ar- range among themselves the wages of their workers, the hours of work, etc. That is, with Roosevelt’s assistance they will smash still lower the living standards of the working class. In the light of this, i¢ is obvious that Roosevelt's plan will not only not return 3,000,000 men to work, but will add millions more to the army of 17,000,000 jobless. Roosevelt’s plan to co-ordinate the railroad industry will, by his own admission, turn from 100,000 to 250,000 more railroad workers into the streets. Roosevelt’s co-ordinations of industry will have the same results on s more expanded scale. Roosevelt deliberately attempts to conceal the iron fist that lurks be- neath the “planning” schemes by making use of the sympathy which the American workers feel for the successes of Soviet planning. Roosevelt’ “neglects” to tell the American workers ‘that a planned economy can only be successful if the working class destroys capitalist pri- vate property. Roosevelt’s hope of a planned capitalism is doomed to failure, because the necessity of individual producers to make profit, destroys the plan of the whole to restrict production. The failure of even the Texas militia to restrict the production of individual oil producers is rockbound proof of this. It is for @ more sinister purpose that Roosevelt wants to have the in- dustries of America under centralized control. It is part of the Roosevelt for war. ‘Roosevelt’s planning proposals have the active suppow) of the most yeactionary groups in America, the Manufacturers’ Association, which has just revived proposals for a National Council of Defense. On the Com- mittee which is to put the planning propoals into effect are the two lead- ing ammunition manufacturers in the United States, J. H. Rand, Jr., of Remington-Rand, leading manufacturer of rifles and bullets, and L. Du Pont of the Du Pont leading manufacturers of explosives. Roosevelt's “national planning” scheme is mobilizing American indus- try so that it edn go on a war basis with the greatest efficiency and speed. ‘At the same time, Roosevelt is giving an added impetus to the capi- talist drive against the living standards of the masses. 4 Continental Congress Heads for Roosevelt Policies ‘The first reports on the Continental Congress organized by the Socialist Party leadership show clearly that it was called for the purpose of breaking the growing unity-of the workers in the struggle against the Roosevelt hunger drive. The anti-working class character of the Continental Congress is confirmed in the keynote speech of Norman Thomas. He is reported as saying (New York Times, May,7). , “here are things that have been done in Washington in these last crowded wecks of which most of us would approve; yet on the whole, the economy power of government has not been used to bring in the uew day but to advance us on the road to state capitalism.” (Our emphasis). _ Whats is the record of the Roosevelt administration in these “crowded weeks” that the Socialist Party would approve? It is a record of the dollar-a-day wage standard, of forced labor camps, of wage cuts for the federal employes, signalizing » new and more vicious wage cutting Acive. It is a record of cuts for the veterans, reduction in relief, the yebbing of the savings of thousands of workers and middle class ele- ments and the inflation drive which means the raising of prices for the consuming masses. Such is the record that the Socialist Party leadership approves! To assure the carsying out of its anti-working Class program to as~ suze the splitting of the growing united struggle of the workers, the Socialist Party leadership in charge of this Congress, did not send ihvitations to all working class organizations, and the reports already show that many rank and file delegates from unions were barred by the leadership of the Congress. Behind the high-sounding phrases and “declarations of independ- ence” stands out, the undeniable fact that the Continental Congress was called to stop the growing unfty of the workers against the Roosevelt hunger and war drive. Tt is their approval of the basic policies of the Roosevelt administration, it is their united front with the forces which are attacking the standard of living of the workers, it is their united front with the reactionary forces, which is the explanation for their brazen refusal to enter any united front: action which would further the interests of the toiling masses. ’ May 1 Parade Stirs Workers ~ to Join Communist Party Sait Sp NEW YORK.—The following is one; the men, women and children of many letters which came into the} marching courageously in protest New York District office of the Com-| against the atrocities committed by munict Party asking admission, after| the ruling class against the labor- witnessing the May Day demonstra-|) ing masses.

The Daily Worker reporter asked him, “all political organizations?” Senior then said (not knowing he was talk- ing to a Daily Worker reporter), “Well, not the Communists. Thats because they try to take control of meetings if you let them in.” Not only were Communists barred, but representatives also of militant trade unions. An elected delegate of Car- penters’ Local 2090 of New York is among those barred.
