The licens- ing provisions empowered the prefident to withhold a license to in- dustries which failed to carry out the agreeme: f its trade association. The committee also voted the pres- ident the power to declare an em- bargo on all imports and rejected the administration plan to control the oil ind ry. The committee's action followed a result of the pressure from the big industrialists. The National Recove Act is scheduled to come up in the Senate for action this week, having already passed the House The action of the Senate Finance committee exposes again the inabil- ity of the capitalists to carry out any program for economic planning, be- cause of the competitive nature of the capitalist system.

The city pays 200 million dollars in debt ser- | vice alone cach year. While the thousands of unemploy- ed supported by thousands of em- ployed workers from dozens of work- ers’ organizations demonstrate today, | a delegation of 11 headed by Carl| Winters of the Unemployed Councils will present the Workers’ Ordinance. | City Has Money The city’s claim, said one of the | delegates, that it is unable to bor- row any more money is a hoax. The city has not reached its legal bor- capacity. It is able to bor- row 300 million dollars The delegate also pointed out that | | the city pays 5-3/4 per cent interest while the Federal government makes | many loans at interest rates as low | as 1 per cent. He further pointed out that Tam- many paid $16,000,000 in cold cash to the Battery. This call is signed by thrée organizations, the Workers Committee on Unemployment (uncer the influence of Norman Thomas and the so-called militants of the Socialist Party), the Workers Unem- ployed League (the official child of the Socialist Party in New York) and the Association of the Unemployed (under the influence of the Love- stoneites—a renegade group expelled from the Communist Party). | Why should the unemployed fighting against the enemy that cuts their velief gather in two separate places? Are not the interests of all unem- ployed the same? Of course, they are. But the .eaders of these three organizations; the Workers Committee | on Unemployment, the Workers Unemployed League, and the Associa- tion of Unemployed, placed obstacles in the way of united action, They | | said that only unemployed organizations should participate. Members of any other crganization fan only conte as individuals. No trade union, no workers’ fraternal organization er any other working class body has the right to mobilize its members under its own banners. This means | that the trade unions which are composed of employed and unemployed | and are active in the interests of the workers in the shop as well as for | the unemployed, have no right to mobilize their membership to march | as a body in this demonstration. What dees this mean, if not splitting | the unity between the employed workers in tle shop and the unemployed | outside? | They also objected to any political organization participating. They | said that the Communist Party must be kept out. Yet, they have se- lected as their spokesman before the Board of Estimate today, Norman Thomas, the outstanding leader in the Soeielist Party.

BOOK NOTES GORKY AS WRITER AND REVOLUTIONIST The completion of Maxim Gorky’s 40th year of literature activity in the service of the revolutionary movement | was recently celebrated throughout) the Soviet Union. He was acclaimed | as the chief “shock-worker” of pro- letarian literature and many honors were bestowed on him by the various} workers’ organizations and the Soviet State. Ti Ris book, Maxim Gorky: Writer and Revolutionist, which has just been, issued by International Publishers,| jaye Olgin traces the develop-| ment of Gorky as e proletarian writer | from his early stories about hoboes) to the present time. He analyses his) books and stories, showing how Gorky | | grew with the revolutionary move. ment. Himself active in the revolt-| tionary movement for the last 30 years both as revolutionist and writer, Olgin gives an integral picture of Gorky as artist and revolutionist. Little is known in this country about Gorky’s revolutionary activity. Olgin shows him as a revolutionary pamphleteer and journalist, taking part in the revolutionary movement. | He tells of his present role and ac- | tivities in the Soviet Union as the | father of proletarian literature and | criticism. The appendix contains a summary | of the many and varied greetings recent celebration. | The book is issued both in paper jand cloth editions, uniform with | Gorky’s Days With Lenin.

The tremendous drain of defense activities forced us at the time to accept this proposal.

With reference to Chamleo’s fee you advanced $50 and stated that in your opinion the $150 demanded by him was excessive.
