COMMUNIST PARTY PREPARES FOR N NEW YORK. — The New York membership of the Communist Par- ty filled New Star Casino on Wed- nesday evening to adopt a program of activity for the municipal elec- | tions this fall. Charles Krumbein, New York District organizer, reported on the tasks of the Communist Party in the coming election. Pointing to the increasing attacks on the work- comrade Krumbein emphasized every problem of the employed unemployed must be taken into eration in carrying on the elec- campaign. Ccmmunist election activity means conducting struggles for the workers in the shops and among the jobless at the Relief Bureaus, he said.

That recruits may take such steps was expressed by Robert Fechner, director of the camp. Fechner, who is an A. F. of L. official fears that the men will leave the dolar ad ay jobs to take work on public works which prob- ably will pay a little more. Secretary of Labor Perkins, who is a member of the Board expressed opposition to any plan which might make it possible for the youth to Labor Camp work at higher rates of pay and nearer their homes. Federal officials are desirous of) keeping the youth a minimum of six months in the camps so as to give them the necessary military discipline and establish the base rate of a dollar a day wages.

But comrade Krumbein warned, “this should not mean a slackening in work.” Now we must conduct in- tense activity to get voters to enroll for the Communist Party during the election registrations. It is neces- sary to draw the largest number of workers to enroll as Communists in order to maintain the Communist Party on the ballot. Committee, I've learned a whole lot more.

I was the spokesman and I was also appointed delegate to attend the Provisional United Front Committee Here is something that I did not think I could have done so soon, but I've done it. I got Marie to go to 1400 Boston Road, so that she would go with a committee’ ‘to the Home Relief and demand what is coming to her.

No small part of the machinery to put through the Industrial Recovery (Slavery) Act is the propaganda bu- reau that General Johnson, “com- mander-in-chief,” has created. War time propaganda will be the guide. The general's first radio speech on the act is a splendid example of how the Roosevelt regime is re-writing the original Hoover campaign propaganda about “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garag Among the very first to be hired by General Johnson were a group of advertising experts and newspaper men to fill the workers’ minds with glowing hopes while their standard of living was being lowered. At least 20 or 30 more newspaper men will be hired to explain away $10 wage levels and the disappearance of Roosevelt's promises for unemploy- ment relief. The employers in each industry will have an expert propagandist assigned to them to help browbeat the work- ers. General Johnson will assign a publicity man to steel, one to copper, one to coal, one to textile, and there will be specialists to deal with labor generally, with strikes, with helping the company unions and the A.F.L. N, W. Ayer, Philadelphia advertis- ing firm's bunk artists, already put. out the main “recovery” stories for Roosevelt The War Propaganda Machine The first big propaganda effort was Johnson's radio speech over the lead- ing hook-up on Sunday, June 25. There were to be no_highfalutin’; theories, Johnson said. From a reading of the first part of his broadcast the idea is gained that the only purpose for the exist- ence of capitalism is to see that every- jbody was fed and clothed properly, and that it has only been due to Jack of teamwork that this has’ not been accomplished throughout its long history. The fact that 17,000,000 workers are unemployed, General Johnson wants the toiling masses to believe, is a mere misunderstanding. The whole thing is a moral mistake. “It doesn’t make sense. It is like a fairy-book story of a spell cast by black inagic over the palace of some Sleeping Beauty.” Then he proceeds to tell some more fairy stries. Morgan, Rockefeller, Ford, as well as their lesser lights, have been slaving all these years so} that the steel, oil and auto workers can be properly fed. They have done plenty for the workers in the past, but they will do more in the future. With a million dollars income, for example, Ford can’t buy more than $40 worth of ham and eggs, Johnson says. You would think Ford’s only Purpose in life is the eating of ham |and eggs. But Ford has over $300,- 000,000 in cash at hand, and a pla: worth around a billion that was coin. ed out of the sweat and toil of tens of thousands of automobile workers who are now starving. His purpose is t ocontinue wringing profits out of the workers, not to provide them with a ham and eggs. One of the fairy stories Johnson tells the workers is: “That the ability of the people to buy is greater than the total cost of what there is to sell.” Slave Wages and, Empty Promises The income of the workers has been slashed by more than ‘half since the; onset of the crisis. Workers have} lost their paltry savings in bank crashes. Roosevelt's slavery bill pro- poses a lower standard of living for the workers in order to raise profits; for the bosses. To cover up the inconsistency of his statement Johnson adds: “We would just try to give every man back 8 sufficient share of what he himself produced to enable him to buy a reasonable slixre of what all the rest produced.” Let’s see how this ts working out, not in the General's radio speeches, but on the class struggle battle line. The very first code which Johnson got was in the textile industry which set a wage of $10 for Southern tex- tile worker and $11 for Northern tex- tile workers. What can these work- ers buy back with this magnificent sum, leaving out of consideration the number of unemployed? How many automobiles can they buy? Can they rent decent living quarters? Can they even buy back sufficient textiles for their own use? In the very first ex- ample in life, not over the ether waves of the radio, or in the fairy-story lan- tes a Propaganda Outfit for Slavery Bill ris one big strong pull at any time in NEW YORK.—A telegram of revolutionary greetings has been received by William Z. Foster, Communist candidate for president in the 1932 elections, from the second national convention of the International Workers Order which re- cently adjourned in Chicago, The telegram, expressing the hope that the “outstand- ing Icader of the militant fighters for workers’ emancipation” will soon completely regain his health that he might take his place in the ranks of American workers, is as follows: “Six hundred and forty-five Jelegates representing 35,- 000 workers of 15 nationalities in second national convention, assembled in People’s Auditorium, Chicago, extend to you its heartfelt revolutionary greetings. We hail you as an outstanding leader of the militant fighters for workers’ emancipation and sincerely hope you may soon be on the road to complete health in order that you may again take your place as leader of the vanguard of militant fighters for workers’ solidarity. “International Workers Order, second national conven- tion.” The International Workers Order, the only workers fraternal organization in America, has made giant strides forward since its organization two years ago.

The bosses, of course, John- son tells us. “We can tell you one thing very definitely and surely—em- ployers in this country want to do this thing harder than they ever wanted to do anything together and this country since the war.” What do they want to do? To lis- ten to General Johnson’s publicity men, through the dulcet tones of the General himself, you would think that the only object in Rockefeller’s, Morgan’s, Swope’s life has been to raise the standard of the American workers’ living. According to every fact, to every step in this history of capitalism, the primary, central and stimulating ob- jective of the capitalists has been to increase their profits, to amass great- er wealth in order to gain greater profits. For this purpose they have scoured the world, enslaved whole countries (India, China), they have carried on wars, snuch as the last im- perialist. war, not hesitating to slaughter 10,000,000 workers in order to insure the profits of the Deter- dings, the Krupps, the Morgans, the Rockefellers, Fords. In the United States they have slaughtered thou- sands of workers for the crime of organizing and striking for the mer- est pittance. When these fellows pull together in the spigit as outlined by General Johnson it will be to pre- serve capitalism and its blood-suck- ing process of exploiting the workers, DR.
