This was made par- ticularly clear by the speech in parliament of Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the exchequer Participating in the debate in the house of commons on the World Eco- nome Conference, Churchill in words praised President Roosevelt for his stand on the raising of wholesale prices and said that Britain would follow the same policy Peace Talk to Conceal War. Since the inflationary program of the Roosevelt administration, by beating down the dollar as compared to the British pound sterling, takes away the advantages gained by Britain in the world market when it depreciated its currency, the Church- iN proposal to “follow Roosevelt” ™Means war upon the Roosevelt pro- gram Churehill’s speech followed that of now Cham- Roosevelt in- Neville Chamberlain. who is chancellor of the exchequer berlain also praised the policy of ising prices”, and ¢luded in such action the Bri minions, Thus both Britain ar dominions, Canada, Australia South Africa, are to boost prices which can be most easily done thru further inflation Their talk of agreement with the Roosevelt policy is only talk of economic peace to con- ceal the trade and tariff war that and has been intensified by the aggres- sion of the United States when it adopted a policy that led to the wrecking of the London conference.

It nade clear by all British spokesi: n parliament that under no circumsiances could Britain be expected to atiempt to return to gold in the present situation. This new stage of the trade war between Britain and the United States will certainly force France and the other gold countries to abandon their gold Standards and engage in the world- wide trade and tariff struggle. The World Economic Conference itself entered its final stage today and no longer pretends to be among living things. For weeks in a state of paralysis, it has now disintegrated into committees that will carry on discussions, but have no power or authority to reach any conclusion ex- cept to: quit cold - Theré was a sub-committee on timber production agreements that decided to adjourn because of fail- ure to™accomplish anything. Efforts are being made to continue talk of | silver and wheat agreements, but any ‘of these will be made between individual countries. The monetary commission has ®agteed to discuss the question of “in- Gebtedness”, but since war debts are barred from discussion nothing can be expected from that source Soviet Delegation Opposes Tariffs. The only concrete proposal made ‘ today was that of the Soviet delega- tion which reminded the monetary commission that one of its avowed objects is to increase exports, and asked the nations to make offers to buy goods and to abandon the tariff restrictions upon shipments of goods. The Soviet delegation stated that | there were increasing possibilities, | under certain conditions for sales) inside the borders of the U.S. S. R. “The Soviet delegation again insisted | upon a pact for economic non-ag- gression before formal adjournment. Gold Countries Want Tariffs. As against the Soviet proposal the gold countries, particularly France | and Sweden, are anxious for formal | adjournment of the conference, so} they can proceed to raise high tariff barriers against products from the | United States and other countries embarking on dumping programs. At the .opening of the conference there was declared a “tariff truce” for the period of the conference, dur- ing which time no new tariff meas- tures Would be invoked. Formal ad- journment of the conference will be marked by the raising of higher tariff walls, pr 4 U i , advanced. CHICAGO PLANS ANTI - FASCIST RALLY, PICNIC Many Organizations to Attend I. W. O. Affair CHICAGO—The Chicago Anti-Fas- cist United Front Committee, repre- senting scores of working-class or-/ ganizations, and the Chicago Com- mittee to Aid Victims of German Fascism. have pledged their active| support to the Anti-Fascist Rally| and Picnic at Birutes Grove, July 33, sponsored by the International Work- ers’ Order. The Chicago Committee to Aid Victims of German Fascism, 208 N. Wells St. has organized a shock brigade, whose first task will be to sell tickets for this rally. This group will have its first meeting on July 17 at the ICOR offices, 3301 W. Roosevelt, Road. This picnic. which is expected to bring out thousands of Chicago workers, will be not only sa> sion of a mass pre's against Fas- cism, but it w... concretize this pro- test by raising funds for the relief and support of the cxile by the Hitler terrorism. Aj portion of all proceeds will be turned | ovér to the Committee to Aid Victims| of German Fascism. | The picnic, which will also cele- brate the achievements of the I.W.O. in the past year, will offer a pre gram of outdoor sports, entertain- ment, and dancing all day. Birutes Grove is at 79th and Ar- cher Sts. It is reached by going to the end of the 63rd St. car line, where trucks will be available to transport the workers to the Grove and back Admission is 10c in ad- vance, 15 cents at the gate.

Both views, used by the same capitalist spokesmen such as President Roosevelt, General Johnson and Bill@ Green, have a definite purpose in ad- | vancing ti> program of Wall Street | in the pre.sat phase of the crisis. What is the actual situation? What prompted the assurances of recovery and the te-employment of millions, and why the about-face, and threats of a catastrophe? It is true that as a result of in- flation and war preparations, as a result of speculation and gambling, as a result of the aid to the big trusts in their price raising programs, production in certain industries were This “advance” was re- Compared to the period of production at the time of the na- tionwide bank shutdown in March when some of the leading industries which were running on sharply cur- tailed schedules actually closed down completely, there has been a rise in | production. But in no instance has this rise gone above the crisis levels of 1931, There is the additional | fact that the low level of present | production — higher in comparison lative. with March 1933 — is achieved through speed-up, rationalization, stretch-out, etc. with less workers than were employed in 1931, Very Few Employed ‘HE Department of Commerce re- | ports that in this period when | the capiteJist press was shouting “prosperity has returned” production rose 9 points but employment rose only 2.9 points. To put over the program of the leading exploiters of higher prices, lower wages, less. relief for the un- employed, Roosevelt used the fact of the limited and relative rise in pro- duction to keep the workers from struggling for higher wages. He vsed it +0 promise the end of unem- ployment 2 1 But it required only the short pe- riod of two months to bring out the glaring contradiction in the rise. Production was not going into con- sumption. The poverty of the masses was INCREASING due to inflation, to lower wages. The growth of the mass of goods was becoming start- lingly evident im the face of the growing inability of the workers to buy back what they produced. The rise in bread prices brought this sit- uation to a dramatic climax. With inflation in action, with the stagger- plan cutting wages, the workers could not buy back even as much bread as they could before, let alone other commodities. * RESIDENT Roosevelt and his crew of industrial slave act adminis- trators who had promised millions of jobs for the summertime could not keep from the workers the fact that | overproduction was growing and leading to greater crisis. How Overproduction Works The textile bosses were producing cotton goods—but for the shelves of the jobbers and speculators who hoped to get higher prices. The workers couldn’t buy the stuff. The stock gamblers were making billions in the rise in stocks, speculating on higher profits through higher com- modity prices. Just how this rise ‘in production worked in the basic industry, steel, is described by the Department of Commerce, and gives the workers a good clue to what is behind the increased production, The Wall Street Journal quotes this | in| urce to show what went steel production, saying: “As an example of where the in- creased industrial production is go- ing, one government statistician on | gromp in raising subs for the Daily Commitiee of the Communist Party foremost its honor.” \ Propag Moaiieutaue in capacity of operations | in the steel industry have been often attributed to automobile production. Rises in car output have obviously helped, steel men observe. However, the statistician set steel output against automobile output and found that increases in new cars are ab- sorbing about one-eighth of increas- ed steel production. As the build- ing construction and railroad fields are taking little steel output, he con- rising output is going into inven- teries of auto body makers and other manufacturers buying in an- ticipation of rising prices, with the expectation of using the steel in fin- rises.” So Roosevelt and Johnson come out with their shrieks about an- try being unable “to stand another collapse.” HY did the pendulum swing so it is an excuse for the failure to produce jobs. Second, it is the just- ification for more extreme measures, the use of the big stick (of course, with the usual bunk about it being used equally against capital and la- bor) to dragoon the workers into the slave codes, and to justify the use of the most extreme strikebreak- ing tactics to prevent the “collapse.” Third, to proceed to more open war vreparations as the extreme capital- ist way out dictated by the extreme situation, Adept Mr. Green and Thomas Mr. Green and Norman Thomas are skillful adepts at combining forecasts of prosperity and warnings of deeper crisis to suit the mood and needs of the practical program of | the exploiters. | The shrieking about the automatic collapse of capitalism is an old so- | cialist cry. The socialists in the period of prosperity talked about the impossibility of crisis, a new cap- | which would peacefully and almost impetceptibly grow over into social- ism. When the crisis came, they forecast ‘immediate return of pros- 417 © Or \— Chose steel - The recent. Jumps -in|. perity.

First, | | an to talk about the imminent col- lapse of capitalism, just as Roose- yelt in his own way does today to; | the American workers. i While Norman Thomas and other | socialists very readily join in the chorus of returning prosperity and great expectations from the indus- trial “recovery” act, they also are glib. with left phrases, when needed, about collapse. The socialists sought jt keep the workers from struggling against capitalism. today, on the | question of wages, of unemployment | insurance, by saying. that capitalism ‘ would fall of its own weight and so- | cialism would step into its shoes | without struggle. They seek to eliminate from the | ‘consciousness of the worker a need | fora day to day revolutionary strug- | gle against capitalism. t | The lying prediction of automatic jcollapse was,the theory used to block | the struggle for every day demands and to block the struggle against the advance of fascism, E now have Bill Green going through almost the same tac- ‘tics. Following his promise to the | workers that Roosevelt's industrial “recovery” act would “drain the pools of unemployment dry,” Green swung on the catastrophe band- wagon. Just a few days ago, writ- ing for the Hearst Universal Ser- vice, Green said: “The present gain in business ac- tivity is largely speculative—cooper- ating with the recovery administra- tion will put a real foundation un- der these gains. The alternatives are | bankruptcy or dictatorship.” _ “Largely Speculative” The unemployed were still using the nevspapers with Green’s state- ments about returning prosperity as pillows when Green suddenly says lit's “largely speculative.” But the note he adds now is/ | *bankruptey” or “dictatorsitip.” | When the bosses require it, he will | | just as readily shout prosperity.

The paper has not been {able to fulfill its functions. Brt | here, comrades, we have to bear in | mind that there are also reasons for | this. We have had a situation where, | to begin with, the staff of the paper ‘has been isolated almost completely’ | from the life of the Party as it de-~ | veloped from day to day. Likewise We | have also had a situation where the staff of the paper were, journalists | who were never deeply rooted in the | mass struggles of the workers, but |came to the paper with very little | experience of these struggles. Secondly, we have not had a close \living political contact between the |Daily Worker and the districts of \the Party. The districts of the Party today send us a little news item in which they will tell us about one or another demonstration that took place in their district. These are \important, comrades, and the Daily ; Worker must find ways and means of getting this material into the paper. But there are things that |are even more important than these, and that is that the comrades real~ |ly read the paper and give to the {editorial staff of the paper their jopinions of the manner in which |we™handle each question that comes up.

We already see symptoms that all is not so well with the rise in pro- duction. Not only did it not em- ploy workers, but in two directions declines can be seen. It is important that there is a decline in freight car loading, be- cause this not only is a symptom of declining production in some in- | dustries which have already stock- ed up, but it also means that the surplus goods are not moving to the consumer. It is evidence that the starving workers are not and cannot buy. . . Car Loading Drops ‘HE Wall Street Journal on July | 11 reperts that for the week end- ing July 8 freight car loadings drop- ped. Of course, they say it was because of the fourth of July holi- Gay. But the fact is that many rail- roads show a decrease below the same week last year. There was {also a sharp drop in automobile pro- duction and every indication is that this drop will continue, thereby still further cutting off, orders for steel. ‘The Daily Worker has repeatedly nointed out that capitalism is striv- ing through every means to get out of the crisis by a smashing attack on the workers, forcing them to lower living standards, cutting relief, in order to raise the profits of the bosses. The capitalists are strug- gling bitterly for world markets, pushing with all thetr might war preparations to back up this strug- gle. Under the “recovery” act, this attack becomes more concentrated, sharper. To the extent that capitalism 1s able to succeed in the attack against the workers, it will be able to in- crease Ms profits, to go the capital- italism, they said had been born, | either case there must be no strug- ist way out of the crisis.

This is necessary, comrades, if a real change is to be brought about in | the paper. Furthermore, this is ne- |cessary if you are going to develop |a Daily Worker consciousness in the | districts and build the paper as * | popular mass organ.” |. What “New Deal” Means | Comrade Browder in his main re= | port to the extraordinary party con- ference speaking on the “new deal” said, “it represents the rapid de- velopment of the bourgeois policy under the present phase of the cri- sis, the sharpening of the class strug- gle at home and the eminence of the new imperialist war. The ‘new | deal’ is a policy of slashing the liv- | ing standards at home and fighting |for markets abroad, for the simple | purpose of maintaining the profita |of finance capital. It is a policy of brutal oppression at home and for imperialist war abroad. It represents a further sharpening and deepening of the world crisis.” t Browder listed the main features af the “new deal” as the advances ment of: (1) trustification; (2) in- flation; (3) direct subsidies to fin-_ ance capital; (4) taxation of the masses; (5) the economy program; (6) the farm program; (7) military ‘and naval preparations, and (8) the movement toward militarization, di- rect and indirect of labor.
