Both times, the demands of the National Hunger Marches to Washington in 1931 and 1932 for Unemployment Insurance were com- Pletely sidetracked. Why, says Mr. Roosevelt,-it is utterly impossible to get enough money to assure the unemployed of the means of subsistance. The Senate investigation of J. P. Morgan has revealed what was already known—that there are billions in wealth accumulated by a small Part of the population—the capitalist class. J. P, Morgan & Company directly control a corporate wealth of 55 billions of dollars. No King Midas of old couid even conceive of such hoarded wealth. J. P. Morgan admutted before the Senate Committee that at the close of last year, December 31, 1932, his company had ready at hand cash and government securities of 550 million dollars, cash alone of 338 million dollars. Gold bricks made from the sweat and toil of the American workers, Each one of these dollars was wrung out of the very lifeblood of the American proletariat. More speed-up, more wage-cuts. meant additional millions for this modern Midas. This murderous exploitation could be carried through because the government is the executive committee of the ruling class—the govern- ment of J. P. Morgan. Like watchdogs, they keep guard of the money bags of their masters. A new Sales Tax, a decrease in relief, an increase in evictions—anything to make sure that the private property of the American capitalist class is not touched. We can and we must open these money bags. We can and we must wres: a part of this hoard so that we and our families may live. This we can do in our demand for Federal Unemployment Insurance. No amount of demagogic pretenses from Roosevelt, no investigations by the Tammany politician Pecora should steer us away from the course of our deman ‘Ve demand Unemployment Insurance. How shall this be gotten? Well, Mr. Ri velt, Mr. Congressmen and Senators, tax this wealth of n and of Rockefeller, Ford, Mellon and the rest of the cavitalist Even the highest tax will still leave them a great part of their Ss. Yet this will be used to make sure that every unemployed every part-time worker who gets barely enough to subsist, will Unemployment Insurance from the Federal Government sufficient for them and their familie to live. Tammany Cuts Relief to Protect the Bankers: The budget of New Yerk City is again approaching a crisis. ‘The eankors will make their appearance at the City Hall to demand their pound of flesh, their interest payments, their guarantees that their loans will be repaid. And Tammany Hall, the New York Section cf Roosevelt's Party, once again is preparing to comply with the demands of Wall Street. It is preparing to levy more taxes, whose brunt will be borne by the workers and small home owners. It is preparing to raise the taxes on water. Its servile agents In the Board of Education are already talking in thiniy veiled language of another wage cut for the teachers in the Public Schools Tammany has brutally cyt all relief expenditures to the bone. At * least 60,000 workers’ families face eviction, as a result of the stoppage of rent payments by the Home Relief Bureaus. Tammany police club the workers and their families when they protest before the Relief Bureaus. Tammany is a willing agent to make the masses pay the tribute demanded. by the Wall Street bankers. Who are these bankers? They are Morgan agents. One of the bankers who will visit City Hall to de- mand “economy” is a partner in the house of Morgan. Tammany fights against reductions in the fat salaries of its hench- men who swarm thick as flies around the city payrolls. It was recently estimated that the Tammany heelers milk the city payrolls every year of over $200,000,000. This, Tammany fights to pro- tect. Tammany will make the starving workers, the school teachers, the small home owners pay. Tammany is cutting wages and relief. It is reducing welfare agencies, hospitals, libraries. It is levying heavier taxes on the small home owners. The workers demand that all in‘erest payments to the bankers be stopped! The workers demand that the city government put an end to the evictions and relief cuts. The workers demand that expenditures for relief and rent be in- creased! The workers demand that all salaries of Tammany officials be re- duced to not more than the average wage of all city workers! We Must Face and Fight War If we pause for a moment to list the war-like preparations of the foreign imperialists and of our own imperialist bourgeoisic, the evidence mounts impressively up that a new World War is regarded as inevitable and is being deliberately planned for by capitalism throughout the world. Ishii’s attack on the Soviet Union and his call to the United States to join in Japan’s anti-Soviet activities, together with the signing of a Sino-Japanese truce amd movement of the Japanese army to attack the province of Chahar, near the Soviet border, constitute sufficient evidence that the interventionist plans of the imperialists are maturing. And today we have hints from Paris that Pilsudski and Hitler are thinking of a solution to the question of the Polish corridor at the ex- pense of wresting the Ukraine from the Soviet Union. At home, the war preparations of the Roosevelt government sut¢ceed each other with lightning rapidity. The development plans for the Muscle Shoals nitrate. works; the abandonment of nayal cuts and the building program sanctioned by the President; the addition to the United States Air Force of 38 Glenn heavy bombing planes; the militarization of over a quarter of a million young Americans, dragooned into the forced labor camps; the mobilization of army officer personnel; the construction of new fortified naval hases in the Pacific—these war preparations con- trast strangely with Norman H, Davis’ hypocritical cry at Geneva today that “we need less procedure and more disarmament.’ In the last war for the super-profits of capitalism, the working class paid in suffering, death, mutilation, disease, hunger. In the coming war, it will again be the working class that will bear the cost. The danger is not remote. It faces us now. Every worker should remember the sufferings that his class was made to experience in the last war. The next war will be more terrible and is rapidly approaching. ‘The clap-trap of the bourgeois pacifists and the maneuvers of the Social-Democrats, not only deflect the course of the anti-militaristic struggle of the “workers, but serve as actual props to the war-mongers, who prepare for the shedding of blood in the name ot democracy and the sanctity of human life. All the forces of the working class must be brought into action “to expose all the machinations of the foreign policy of their own bourgeoisie, to expose all the measures of the home policy of the bourgeoisie in pre- paration for war, to uncover the production and transport of munitions, to expose the sophisms and maneuvers of the pacifist and socialist aHies of the warmakers.” (XIT Plenum Resolution).

The United States, in the person of Norman Davis, combatted the adjournment decision today, at the meeting of the General Com-@————————___________ mission, expressing extreme annoy- ance, and attacking the obstruction- ist methods used at the conference. Davis, posing as the sincere “friend ;of peace”, said—‘Let us haye more | disarmament and less proceedure.” America is, in fact, interested in pro- jlonging the arms conference through | the period at which the London Eco- |nomic Conference will be meeting, | because she wishes to keep the arms discussions well in the public eye, and ‘at the same time, link the arms question up with her economic pro- posals at London. As the chief creditor nation to be present at Lon-, don, she wishes to. use the economic power ‘vhiom *hc has in that capacity to effect, through bargaining, a re- duction in the armaments of her rivals, The European nations, on the other hand, wish to suspend the armament negotiations while the Economic conference is in session, making a complete separation be- tween the two sets of problems. Aggressive Role of U. S. While America poses here as the reat “pacifist”. her aggressive” role is very clear. She pretends to place herself in the fore-front of the movement for arms reductions—for |Teductions, in actual fact, in the armaments of her rivals—and uses her power as a creditor to bludgeon her opponents with at the London conference.

Meanwhile, the nations, meeting In the General Commission of the Arms Conference, decided to accept “in general” and “in principle” the British draft convention.
