This is seen as a move to place greater power the hands of monopolies, enabling e big bankers who dominate eco- nomic life to charge high prices to consumers and at the same time beat |down prices paid to those who have | to sell their products to the mono-| Ppolists. The “internal” program is not something separate from the gen- eral world policy of American im- perialism. It is a part of the whole offensive to grab a greater share of ‘he world markets from rival powers. “facDonald Sees Worse Conditions J. Ramsey MacDonald, British | prime minister and president of the | conference, helped | the United States delegation would | said that the action of not lead to a trade war. That state-| ment is regarded as certain evidence | that a trade war is already on the order of the day and that MacDonald is merely trying to cover up the fact. He said there was no use adjourn- conference until Autumn. Such suggestions, he said, were | “foolish” because the chances are 9944 per cent that conditions then would be far worse than now. A Confession of Bankruptcy Since the conference was called for the avowed purpose of trying to find some solution that would improve conditions, the statement of Mac- Donald that conditions will probably be worse in Autumn is an admission that he realizes the bankruptcy of the conference. The conference will not adjourn immediately, however, because the presence in London of delegations from various countries furnishes bet- ter opportunities for plots and coun- ter-plots than through the ordinary diplomatic channels maintained here, MacDonald and the British delega- tion and the Dominion representa- | tives do not attempt to conceal their displeasure at the aggressive fight the United States is making to kill all the trade advantages gained by | Britain when it went off the gold | standard in 1931. ‘They all know it means war to the limit for markets and it is expected that steps will be taken to retaliate. French Furious at U. 8. Action With such a fight unavoidable the statesmen are gravely concerned | about the political consequences of a further general drive to cut down the costs of production which means a higher stage of the offensive against the conditions of life of the toiling masses everywhere in the capitalist world. Such an offensive will meet with increasing resistance on the part of the working class and the | colonial and semi-colonial masses. The French delegation, through finance minister Georges Bonett and | Hendryk | the Netherlands premier, Colijn, gold standard countries were gloomy over the ¢ction of the U. S. delegation. They realize that they | will be forced off the gold standard before such a trade war has pro- ceeded very far. At the same time they hotly deny reports that they contemplate immediate abandonment of the e«4 ssandard. The conference has adjourned until | Monday and the various delegations are meeting to try to devise a way to keep up a pretense of life at least until Professor Moley, personal repre- sentative of Roosevelt arrives early in the week. War Materials and Army Drill at Brooklyn Army Base Member of Civilian Conservation Corps Ex- plains the Routine As Obvious Preparations for Coming War By a Labor | Camp 1 Correspondent BROOKLYN, N. Y. — I am writing about the Civilian Conservation Corps here at the Army Base. This is the second group, and is made up of about 450 fellows. Unlike most camps I have read about, the food is ordinary and we don’t work very | hard. As a matter of fact, most of the work consists of “close order” drill larmy regulation). Some of the fel- e— lows like the life, some don’t. Most Modern Army Drill Howevr, I'd like to explain to my middies that the organization of the tamp is a war mancouver. Some of the drilling given us is the new style frill lately evolved in the Army. They aave 3 men abreast instead of 4. This seems to be a simple thing, hav- ng nothing to do with war. How- ver; when we realize that with the Wd type of drill it took many weeks o break new men in, but with this ew type, a couple of weeks is suf- ieient, we see that it takes less time ® prepare men for war.

We should realize that the money they are saving on us by only paying us $1.00 a day, is going toward the pur- chase of war material.

Fellow at Brooklyn Army Base. The World Economic Several months ago, the Soviet | American Securities Corporation was organized for the purpose of selling the gold bonds of the Soviet Gov- |ernment in the United States. When |the mews became generally known that bonds of the Soviet Govern- ment could be purchased, workers from all parts of the country re- sponded with the last remnants of their life’s savings. Here we find more concrete proof that the Ameri- can workers stand ready and willing to help and defend the Soviet Union. This . tremendous. faith in and good will for the Soviet Union ex- presses itself in various ways. Many workers write in: “I want to place my money where it will do the most good.” Another writer writes, “Please, I have a thousand dollars, maybe if this is big enough I will send it to you.” Still another writes, “The suc- cess of socialism in the Soviet Union guarantees the final victory of the proletariat of the world and there- fore as an American worker I am in at \Credit Men Ask U. S. Aids Soviet Trade MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 23.—Ac- tion by the State Department of the United States to encourage trade with the Soviet Union was asked in @ resolution passed by the National Association of Credit Men today at its annual convention. “In view of the vast potentialities of such a market as Soviet Russia,” the resolution reads, “the State De- partment should be encouraged to bring about some sort of working arrangement whereby more business from this area would flow to the United States.” Go to see every subscriber when his duty bound to help.”. These are but a few of the expressions of solidar- ity by American” workers. Converts Liberty Bonds. An American disabled soldier, con- fined to a government hospital, writes: “I want to help by convert- ing my liberty bonds into Soviet bonds.” A seaman paid for his bonds and started to walkout before he collected the balance of $35 due him. When reminded of this he said, “Oh, that’s alright, let the Soviet Goy- ernment keep the change.” Another worker writes, “Don’t. send me any telegrams, I don’t want the workers’ government to incur expense on my account.” The force motivating the purchase of Soviet bonds has been the desire to help the Soviet Union. The high interest rate of 10: per cent is inci- dental, for in some-cases workers U. S. Workers Place Life Savings in Soviet 10 Per Cent Gold Bonds all. Even the safety of the invest- ment and the conversion of their savings into gold rouble bonds so that their money cannot be wij out in whole or in part. by inflation are only incidental to the main de- sire to help the Soviet Union.

Canada: { By WILLIAM SIMONS. ‘What does the New Dea] mean for the toilers in the American colonial possessions? In Cuba, it means an- other attempt to bring about -har- mony between the native bourgeois landlord factions, for the greater pro- tection of American interests and for more effective suppression of the re- volutionary. working class movement. How does the New Deal effect the 13,000,000 Filipinos? In the dying days of-tha Hoover Congress, the Hawes-Cutting Act was passed over Hoover's veto. ‘The many articles and editorials in the Daily Worker during the past two years have shown clearly that this Hawes-Outting Act and other similar bills were not aimed to bring about, immediate and com- plete independence for the Philippine Islands, but to enlist the Filipino masses in support of Wall Street’s trade and war aims in the Far East. Quezon Comes All the Way to Washington Manuel Quezon, President of the Philippine Senate, made his long de- ferred trip to Washington, accom- panied by ten other Filipino politi-- clans, representing various points of view on the Act. After only a week in Washington, interviewing the Roosevelt Administration leaders, Quezon and Company hurriedly de- parted for the Philippine Islands, accompanied by Senator Osmena and Speaker. of the House Roxas, leaders of the Ninth Philippine Independence ped | Mission which accepted the Hawes- Cutting Act. Quezon’s Play at Opposition According to ;press reports from Manila, Quezon’s proposal is for the adoption, by a Filipino Constitutional Convention of a constitution which will embody: .the provisions of the Hawes-Cutting Act, but elim- inating the naval base retention clause. This Constitution would then be submitted to the United States President for approval. If he reject- ed it, then efforts would be made to have Congress amend the Hawes- Cutting Act. But what then? Sup- pose Congress refuses? What will Quezon do? Will he fight? No. He has been shifting from position to position, following a policy of vacilla- tion, silence, and: evasion. In December 1030, when Osmena and Roxas led the Ninth Philippine Independence Mission to Washing- ton, the Philippine Legislature and Quezon, its leader, openly abandoned the cause of immediate and uncondi- tional independence, declaring for a transition period of not more than ten years. Quezon remained silent, while Osmena and Roxas and the Resident Commissioners Osias and Guevara ‘came to terms with Amer- ican imperialism. Then Quezon raised a hue and cry. Manuel Quezon as well as the other représentatives of the Filipino bourgeois-landlord class are opposed to- immediate and com- plete independence. -Osmena and Roxas have ‘done the dirty work of agreeing openly to the surrender, while Quezon has. played in the op- position, in order to hold in line the mass movement for immediate and complete independence. A similar division of labor is ap- parent in the-Cuban situation, where Senator Borah with his pretense of One year, 51 6 months, $5; 7 months, $8.

And furthermore, while Quezon | plays “Left,” Osmena and Roxas an-| nounce an immediate and active) campaign for the+ acceptance of the entire Hawes-Cutting Act, as is, Further Maneuvers Possible ‘Will Quezon secure some amend- ments to the Hawes-Cutting Act at the next session of Congress? Pos- sibly. There were some who thought that the Hoover Congress would not adopt even the fake independence bills introduced in 1932, This view underestimated the American sugar and dairy interests which were in favor ofthe bill, and also un- derestimated the growing revolu- tionary movement in the Philippine Islands which made necessary some demagogic independence bill. It is not impossible that the United States Congress, faced by strong opposition to some provisions of the Hawes-Cut- ting Act, will grant some further con- cession. Could not the United States Congress even promise to give up naval bases in the Philippine Islands in ten years, and decide ten years later that the situation in the Far East makes it impossible to give up these naval bases? ‘The record of United States imper- jalism in the colonies is one of brute Roosevelt’s New Deal and His Philippine Lackeys Quezon’s Sham Opposition an Effort to Stifle the Militant Indepen« force and violation of promises.

REVOLUTIONARY DEMONSTRATIONS ‘ IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS ON MAY FIRST Workers Defy Police, Raise Class Struggle Banner Under Communist Leadership MANILA, P. I., May 16.—May First, 1933, marked another step forward in the revolutionary movement of the Philippine Islands. Instead of thei usual reformist demonstrations of a of class struggle, a Mardi Gras nature, it became a day rally of revolutionary workers and peasants for realisti¢ struggle against capitalism and fascism and class conciliation.» Demonstrations with from one to seven thousand participants were held in a dozen Philippine cities and towns under the revolutionary lead- ershi of the Communist Party and the Philippine Proletarlan Labor Congress. Manila Workers Defy Police In Manila, although the Mayor and the Chief of the Secret Service made the permit for the May First dem- onstration conditional upon not un- furling Communist symbols or ban- ners, or displaying revolutionary Placards and slogans, the 7,000 dem- onstrators defied the police, carrying placards such as “Down with Impe- rialist War!,” “Down with Fascism!,” “Defend the Soviet Union!,” “De- fend Soviet China!” and “Down witli the Caciques!” (big landowners). ‘They also unfurled a red banner with the slogan “Workers and Peasants of the World, Unite!” Two Workers Clubbed, Six Arrested. When the demonstrators raised the big red banner, 200 uniformed police- men and 100 detectives tried to grab it and arrest its bearers. A clash opposition to the Platt Amendment ensued, during which two workers oe were clubbed unconscious and six were arrested, while two police of= ficers were badly injured. Mass Pressure Wins in Cabanatuan In Cabanatuan, provincial capital of Nueva Ecija, the police refused to rifles and machine guns was stationed at strategic points around the Town Square to stop any demonstration, But the workers and peasants ree fused to be intimidated by this dis- play of armed force, and the town authorities hurriedly sent a permit to the demonstration’s leaders. Similar militant demonstrations took place in Abukay, Tloilo, San Mi- guel, and other towns. May Day this year in the Philips pine Islands introduced and inters preted in action the spirit of class protest and class struggle. It opened a new horizon never before experiv enced by the Philipino toilers. Its effect will be felt during the coming months of struggle as an force in the fight against American imperialism and the native owning class. (Moscow.

The role of the capitalist super-robber, Hugenkerg, is the, discharging of workers, plun- dering of wages, dcoming the mazses to starvation. “The cowardly Czarist officer and malicious Bzltic clown, Rosenberg, organizes anti-Soviet war-baiting.
