Daily ‘(Section of the Comensunist International ) Vol. X,No.172 pe Roosevelt’s Insolence TEER Gl rear page f \ would be hard to find a more shameless example of impudent cynic- ism than President Roosevelt’s Monday radio address to the 300,000 unemployéd whom he has concentrated in the forced labor reforestra- tion camps. “You are a visible token of encouragement to the whole country,” | he says. } Doing the work of foresters for a dollar a day, they certainly are s visible token of encouragement to the ruling class in its ruthless cam- \ paign of wage-cutting and relief-slashing. ' “Through you the nation will graduate a fine group of strong young t men, clean-living, trained to self-discipline and, above all, willing and proud to work for the joy of working... “That must be the new spirit of the American future.” j ‘The workers must not only submit to brutal exploitation starvation wages. They must be proud of it, says Roosevelt. * . . . and HE: letters from workers in the brutalizing, militarized forced labor camps published elsewhere in the Daily Worker today show what is the “new spirit” which Roosevelt's insolent program is really creating. This spirit of resistance must be more and more organized among all the workers, and directed into a powerful mass demand: For immediate, adequate relief, and no forced labor! For unemployment and social insurance, at the expense of the gov- ernment and the employers! War Clouds Gather | hia before has August First, international fighting day against im- perialist war, held such significance for the toiling masses. This is | true because never, since the close of the world war, have the war clouds lowered so menacingly. ”" Events that transpired at the London World Economic and Mone- tary Conference are a warning signal. This is so not because anything in the way of definite agreement was ever expected from that conference. Its failure was discounted in advance. What is of great moment, how- ever, is the fact that the structure of capitalism is so shaken that it was not possible to repeat the deceptions of previous conferences by making a pretense at agreement on anything. With great emphasis the curse of the London conference recalls the words of Comrade Stalin who, in 1927, after the collapse of the Geneva conference, said: “The peaceful path for solving the problem of markets is closed for capitalism. There remains the only ‘way out’ for capitalism: a new redivision of colonies and spheres of influence by imperialist wars.” , 2 The fact’ that no agreement could be reached even on what to dis- | qii%s at London proves that the time is fast approaching when the last } words around conference tables will have been spoken and their echoes f Will be drowned out by the roar of gums and the shriek of shrapnel. Capitalism will have plunged the world into a new blood bath, unequalled igguits devastation, in an attempt to solve its problems through violent mans. * * * HAT the toiling masses are not yet fully aroused to the imminent danger of the outbreak of anothér world imperialist slaughter is cause i tor alarm on the part of our revolutionary Party, the Communist Party. -war-mongers have, it iS true, béen able to develop and employ many new and adroitly deceptive methods of covering up with pacifist gatb their war preparations. In pursuit of this they have brought into promi- nence all the bourgeois pacifists and the social-democratic and rene- gade elements to sow illusions among the masses, minimizing especially the growing menace of an imperialist war of intervention against the Soviet Union and also of war between the imperialist powers fora new \ redivision of the world. { TE imposes upon the revolutionary vanguard of the working class the duty of unmasking all such maneuvers and mobilizing the toiling mes- | ses for sustained. struggle against war. First and foremost it is essential that in every unit of the Party there be a full recognition that the pressure of bourgeois ideology, espect!- ally pacifist illusions, on our members is the basis of the underestima- tion of the war danger. This is a form of dangerous opportunism that tmust be eradicated through relentless Bolshevik struggle, following the Kne of the open letter from the Extraordinary Conference of the Party. Every ounce of energy should be concentrated upon preparations for * * * fhe” mightiest and most demonstrative outpouring of workers and the | toiling masses generally on August First that has ever taken place in wis country. | 2 Who Is Balbo? MO is Generai Italo Balbo—the fascist now receiving the cordial w greetings of President Roosevelt, Governor Lehma® @= feders of the American bourgeoisie, and the Pope? Balbo is the chief exponent in the Italian goveri™ent of ruthless | terror against the workers. His reputation for being more blood-thirsty even than Mussolini makes him the chief candidate of the most brutally reactionary wing of Italian fascism ‘for succession to Mussolini. A demobilized officer after the war, a lawyer without a job, Balbo organized and led the gangsters who later, in 1922, became the fascist black shirts in the province of Ferrara. ' He led hundreds of terroristic raids on the revolutionary organiza- tions of the workers, peasants, and agricultural workers of Ferrara, in which homes, farms and halls were burned and smashed, and thousands of workers tortured or killed. He became notorious for the murder of Don Minzoni, a priest of Agrigenta, in one of these raids, when even a fascist court was com- pelled to recognize his murderous act by dismissing @ libel suit against , republican newspaper which charged him with the crime, although the court took no action against Balbo. * J was also directly implicated in the murder of Giacomo Matteoti, AT the socialist leader who dared to criticize the fascists. He was one of the four dictators in supreme ggmmand of the fas- cist march on Rémie, in 1922, and has been in ¢® highest councils of the tascist party’and cabinet ever since. Penniless when he began his fascist activities, he is now one of the richest men in Italy. ; He has been for years now the “generalissimo” of Italian fascist avi- ation. He has built up the world’s second largest air fleet, which is supported by a powerful destroyer fleet. By this means Italy is fast preparing for a new world bloog bath aleng with the other imperialist powers. 1 . * » Balbo, the current hero of capitalist America, is one of the leading instigators of the terror which has filled the fascist dungeons with Italian workers and intellectuals of all political shades, and put the “hole tolling population of Italy in chains. 3 > The workers of the United States should remember these facts now that the political hirelings of the American bourgeoisie—Roosevelt and Tehman—are attempting to drum up s “popular” reception for this fas- | cist. murderer. 4 * * Award Free Soviet Trip at “Daily” Picnic NEW YORK.—A free trip to the Soviet Union will be awarded at the Daily Worker Picnic, to be held Suncay, July 30; at Pleasant Bay Park, the picnic arrangements committee yesterday announced, This and other Engels and other great working to .|.NO NEW orker ist Party U.S.A.

Ist Against War Danger WASHINGTON, July 18.—Secretary of War Dern and President Roosevelt | are arranging a special meeting here | to discuss the allotment of several hundred millions of dollars from the $3,300,000,000 public works funds for war preparations. This conference arrangement on war planning between the President and the War Department followed the announcement by Secretary of the In- terior Ickes that the public works fund would be “no grab bag.” The “grab bag” idea is for the bene- fit of the jobless workers who expected to see immediate jobs grow out of the Roosevelt public works scheme. Who Does Grabbing Grabbing, however, is done by both | the army and navy. The navy got an immediate payment of $238,000,000 for | warship building, and the army is |now in line for a similar amount. The army war preparations program | that Roosevelt will discuss involves a | $50,000,000 expenditure for the me- | chanization of the army and machine gun units, as well as the expenditure | | of $10,000,000 to carry through the "5 | year plan” of the air forces, providing |for the construction of 1,800 army planes.

Boss Returns from Florida; (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK CITY.—A few months ago the Goro Mfg. Co., near Union Square, where I am employed, cut the wages of the workers. Two re- fused to take the cut, so the ee le new $6 per week. The two men, were making $18 each a week, to teach the new man the trade. Soon he invented an excuse to fire the two workers. Now the new man is foreed to speed up and do the | work of two people, I know for a fact that our employer is now get- ting more profit out of his business than ever before in the “boom” years.

COAL OPERATORS IN SLAVE CODE Meet in WwW ashington to Carry Out Plan of Seeret Confab WASHINGTON, July 18—After secretly meeting with John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work- ers of America, and Bill Green, president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, at the home of Ber- nard Baruch, one of the mysterious and powerful Wall Street figures be- coal operators came here to prepare a slave code for the coal mining in- dustry. The Northern and Southern coal operators here are taking the steel ode as a model for the soft coal | fields. The operators_are divided on, the question of unionization, the Northern operators generally being quite willing to accept the Lewis out- fit as the company union, while the Southern operators insist on the pany unions similar to that in the steel trust. The purpose of the secret meet- ing in Baruch’s mansion on Fifth Ave. New York, as reported by | “Black Diamond,” organ of the coal} operators, was to reconcile the views of the operators and to get Lewis and Green to convince the coal bar- ons that the United Mine Workers | of America can function as efficiently | as any company union. A Supreme Test The strategic position of ‘the coal industry in connection with the in-| dustrial recovery act is pointed out the nnalist,” a bankers’ pub- lication, which says in its July 14th issue that the coal industry is “The supreme test of the national indus- trial recovery act. The fate of this ‘venture’ in new economics is quite likely to be decided in the non-union coal fields of the South.” | It was for this reason that at the| hearings on the recovery act, John L. Lewis, of the U. M. W. A, made| his position very clear to the bosses that the act will not be used to cre-| ate real unions, and that the U. M. W. A. is not opposed to company unions. Lewis's own words are: “Industry has nothing to fear in a modern rationalized labor rela- tionship such as can be set up and administered under thé provisions of this act. Those employers who point with fear, apprehension and alarm to the amendment referring to company unions in section 7 (of the Industrial Recovery Act) need | not be alarmed. There is nothing in section 7 that will destroy the company union as it now exists in any plant.” ‘The Baruch conference between has| coal operators and A. F. of L. union | leaders undoubtedly talked over prac- ical steps to carry through this strike-breaking policy. mployer Fiucet Working Girls to Prostitution ALLENTOWN, Pa.
