Heads Disrupt Workers’ Anti-WarStruggle Distort Facts of Leaders’ Role in Letter Re- jecting Invitation to Take Part in Demonstration NEW YORK.—The Bronx County Committee of the Socialist Party | rejected the invitation made by Section 15 of the Communist Party to take part in today’s anti-war demonstration. In rejecting the invitation, the Socialist Party sent a letter which | clearly shows how it attempts to deceive the workers as to its role while | sabotaging all actual struggle against@ war. After reporting the county com- mittee’s decision to abide by the or- ders of the New York City Commit- tee of the Socialist Party to its branches not to participate in to- flay’s demonstration, the letter says: “We want you to understand, how- ever, that your implication that only by joining with you in a united front would we be taking up the struggle against war is unwarranted and un-| justified by the facts. The Socialist Party of America has always been and always will continue to be in the forefront of the anti-war struggle, as we-have proved over and over again \n our programs and platforms, and under fire in 1917-18 when our lead- ers were jailed and our members were hounded by the government.” All workers know that the leaders of. the Socialist Party, Morris Hill- quit, James O'Neill, Abraham Cahan, editor of “Vorwaertz” fell over them- selves to protest their loyalty, to urge their followers into the army, and to Support wholeheartedly the last war. Eugene Debs, the Socialist with the greatest mass following, who heroi- cally opposed the war, was not rec- ognized by these men as fit to help shape the policies of the party pre-| cisely because he opposed the war. While the Socialist Party uses| words of opposition to war, in its pro- | gram and platform, in deeds it is to-| day whooping it up for war with its | yenemous. attacks on the Soviet Union, its glorification of American imperialism, its enthusiastic support of thé National Recovery (Slavery) Act-which is the government's highly- organized attack on the. working class, and its apparatus for suppress- tng the workers as a preparation for | war. Get Only 45c an Hr. {By a Worker Correspondent) CLEVELAND, O.—Sewer contrac- tors here are pulling some crooked deals on the laborers, they are hired | at 60 cents per hour, and when they receive their pay they only get 35 cents per hour, this took place on the West 25th, State road sewer job. | eS SOCIALISTS SEND WORKER BACK TO NAZI TORTURERS Refuse Permission to| Go to Soviet Union ,COPENHAGEN, August 1—Despite the fact that he had applied for per- mission to go to the Soviet Union, a German worker named Funke, 50 years old, was handed over to the German Fascists by the Socialist government of Denmark. The liberal newspaper “Politiken” says that “the concentration camp awaits him.” He was arrested at Al- penrade, Denmark, after escaping over the border from the Nazi terror. The Social-Democratic Minister of Justice, Stauning, had first said he would be allowed to go to the Soviet Union, but after keeping him in jail a few days turned him back to the Nazi murderers. Lenin on War “War is not an accident, not a ‘sin’ as is the idea of the Christian ministers. It is an inevitable stage of capitalism, it is a form of cap- italist life as natural as peace.” ae aa “In reality, this is a war between two groups of predatory great powers, and it is fought for the division of colonies, for the en- slavement of other nations, for advantages and privileges in the world market. This is a most re- actionary war, a war of modern slaveholders fought for the pur- pose of retaining and strengthen- ing capitalist’ slavery.” Speed- Up and Wage Cuts in War Industries Railroads Busy on | Big War Shipments (By a Vet Worker Correspondent) KENT, Ohio.Junk dealers here haye made large shipments of scrap iron and metal over the Erie R.

Many workers have stated that this speed-up of mass produc- tion means war. Most of them are aware of the fact that they are pro- ducing a surplus and are beginning to realize what it is all about.

The Jap-| anese and Manchukuoan army with-| drew, and the city was handed over| without fighting. General Feng claimed that his tak- ing of Dolonor was the beginning of a drive to “recapture Manchukuo | from the Japanese.” The Japanese are seeking to use| the pretext of the taking of Dolonor| for a drive into Inner and Outer Mongolia, towards the borders of the Soviet Union. The new militarist war which has long been threatening now seems to be in the stage of active hostilities | with Chiang Kai Shek ordering an| attack on Feng Yu Hsiang on the ground that his damaging the Suan- hua Bridge and cutting the Peiping- including Sunday.} Suiyuan railroad is an attack on the authority of the Nanking Govern-| ment.

We have to close up the place for eight days, because we. have to reorganize our business on account of the new Recovery Act. This will cost the firm at least 25 per cent more on over- head. But don’t be afraid, we can provide work for our men until the fall of 1935. We have quite a lot of orders, only the contracts have to be signed. We have 130 men employed at the present, but we have to lay off about twenty, which are not so good mechanics. In the future the remaining 110 men have to do the work.” This was the speech of a boss, who formerly was connected with the Baum Aircraft Product Corp., Elm- hurst, L. I. He was a salesman that time and he brought several deter- jorations into the shop, which all workers will remember. The top wages in this plant are 50 cents for skilled mechanics and 30—40 cents for helpers who have to do mechanie work, The Chance Vought Aircraft Corp. in Hartford, Conn., closed the plant 14 days ago, also the Edo Seaplane Pontoon Co., College Point.

Party Conference Greets Philippine Communist Party (At the widpavediaany Party é.! | ference of the Communist =Party, attended by over 400 Party ‘I¢aders, held in New York July 7-10, the fol- port to the struggle of the Contniu- lowing letter of greetings and-sip- nist Party of the Philippine Islands and of the Filipino toiling massés’in their struggle against American im- perialism was unanimously adopted. —Editor. Communist Party of the Philippine Islands, Dear Comrades: The Extraordinary Party Confer- ence of the Communist Party of the United States of America, held in New York City on July 7-10, sends its revolutionary greetings to you, and through you to the millions of Filipino toilers who are victims of American imperialist domination. The Communist Party of the United States has followed. with keen interest and revolutionafy én- thusiasm the struggles of the Filipino masses striving for independence under your leadership. Thé“Amer- ican ruling class, feeling the danger of your leadership in these struggles, did not hesitate to attack the revo- lutionary organizations, and | espe- cially your Party, driving them into illegality and, persecuting in the most ruthless manner the most outstand- ing leaders of the workers and peas- ants. But in spite of this (terror, perpetrated by the government~ of . os Wall Street, with the active support With Filipino Toiling Communists in U.S. Fight Shoulder to ‘Shoulder Masses Against Wall Street,and for Filipino Independence of the native bourgeois and landlord leaders, the Communist Party of the Philippine Islartds stands: firm before the masses, fighting for its imme-| diate needs and thus paving the way for the revolutionary liberation of ce Islands from American imperial- ism. War Danger in Pacific The frequent naval maneuvers of both American imperialism and Jap- anese imperialism in the Pacific Ocean clearly indicates the growing importance of the Philippine Islands as a war base for American im- perialism, The Roosevelt administra- tion, under cover of granting relief to the unemployed, is rapidly in- creasing the naval and military strength of the United States: In view of the preparations of American imperialism for imperial- ist war and an attack upon the Soviet Union, it is clear that Amer- ican imperialism will try to hold the Philippine Islands. and will not Noe ges grant independence to Both your Party and ours have repeatedly unmasked the hypocrit- ical Hawes-Cutting Act, which is not an independence bill but is aimed to attack the living standards of the Filipino masses, for the benefit of special American sugar and other interests. Behind this Act stands the perpetuation of the semi-feudal conditions of the Filipino masses, further penetration of American capital, and increasing military grip of American imperialism on the Philippines. Just as it is not Roose- velt’s National Industrial Recovery Act that will improve the conditions of the toiling masses in the United States, it is and will be the toiling masses themselves who will repel the ‘bosses’ unemployment and wage- cutting program by struggle against Roosevelt’s industrial and financial masters. So in the Philippine Islands the starving masses are the ones who are fighting and will continue to fight against the attack on their living standards by the Roosevelt administration, through the newly appointed Governor-General, Frank Murphy, murderer of the five un- employed youth in Detroit. To the recent letter sent to you by our Detroit District, exposing Murphy as an enemy of the auto workers of Detroit, we would only add our warning against the hypocritical and demagogic promises hé has repeated- ly made to the Detroit workers, promises which he has. always be- trayed. Murphy has been sent to the Philippine Islands in order to fool the Filipino masses with fine phrases, to keea them from engag- tng in revolutionary actions agaiust American imperialism. Meaning of Open Letter The Extraordinary Conference, of our Party in its Open Letter to the Party membership calls for exten- sive, daily activity, particularly in the shops, against the attacks of the Roosevelt administration. We have read with great interest of your unemployed march on Manila early in March of this year, and see in it a further sign of growing mass struggles under your leadership, which will bring real independence to the exploited masses of the Phil- ippine Islands not only from Amer- ican imperialism, but independence from the native bourgeois landlord class as well. Our Party has, through articles and editorials in our revolutionary press, brought to the attention of the American workers news about your conditions and has also waged a campaign against the Hawes-Cut- ting Act. We have protested against discrimination of which Filipino workers have been victims in the United States. the right of your revolutionary or- ganizations to exist. We have de- manded the release of our brave comrades jailed in the Philippine Islands. ‘This Extraordinary Party Confer- ence again greets you, as. brothers in the common struggle against our joint enemy.

VICEROY ORDERS GANDHI RELEASE New Series of Tricks to Fool Masses BOMBAY, Aug. 1—British imperi- alism, facing new and wider risings all over India, is again maneuvering with Mahatma Gandhi to try to turn into harmless channels the anti-im- Perialist and nationalist movement. Gandhi, his wife, his secretary and’ 30 of his followers were arrested yes~ terday, held a few hours and ordered released by the Earl of Willingdon, who is viceroy of India. The British authorities served no- tice on Gandhi that he will be sub- ject to a two-year prison sentence if he continues his civil disobedience | campaign. Urges Individual Action In face of the gathering forces of @ mass movement against British im- Pperialism, Gandhi, in his “new cam= paign” has abandoned his old slogan of “mass disobedience” and now urges “dndividual disobedience.” The point has been reached when any sort of mass movement holds great danger for British rule. hence Gandhi has been forced to. change his slogan in aid. of the plan to fool the people into substituting individual action for mass action. $ At the same time British officials maneuvers with Gandhi to fool the masses, British bombing planes of the Royal Air Force blast whole villages of tribesmen off the earth in ‘the vicinity of Pashawar, near the Khy- ber Pass. “The working men have no coun- try.
