I am forced to admit I haven't yet mastered it It’s‘ obvious of course that all money is fictitious when based upon gold and not labor-value. It’s also obvious that money is the root of all capitalist evil. Capitalists try to cure the rey-disease by attacking Roosevelt and his group money symptom by in- flation. Their first step is to raise the prices of ev thing; the theory | being.

QED. Which reminds me that I’ve been listening in to Dr. Frank Bohn in his news reports over the Federal broadcast.

He sounds exactly like those agitators luring the war who used to denounce oe and find German spies in every toilet. Dr. Bohn is good at this kind of thing. He used to be one of the theorists of the I.W.W., a bitter ender, and Socialist baiter. But the war came along and he joined up with @ bang, leaving every trace of pro- e im behind him.

S. Conference to Map Struggle Against War NEW YORK.—Since Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser, and Upton | Sinclair, widely known writers and members of the American Committee for Struggle Against War issued an appeal on May 25 for a United States Congress Against War, more than 100 national organizations haye combined | to issue a national call for the election of delegates and for support of the Congress. When the Congress opens in New York Sept. 29, several hundred dele- gates from every part of the country} will be.present. They wil represent} trade unions, unemployed, farmers’, cultural, veterans’, workers’, intellec- tuals’, religious, fraternal, and paci- fist organizations, and the Commu- nist Party. Among the organizations which have affiliated with the Congress) committee are the Farmers National @ Industrial Democracy, all the na- tional industrial unions affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the | Conference for Progressive Labor Ac- tion, the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s | League, the American Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, the ‘Women’s International League for Peace and Freédom, the War Resis- | ters League, the Marine Transport Workers Industrial Union, and many others. The only national union of the American Federation of Labor rep- resented, however, is the Full Fash-| ioned Hosiery Workers. The weakest | representation, on the basis of the most effective actual struggle against war, is from the trade unions. Much greater efforts are needed to draw | into the Congress representatives of the broad sections of the American | working class, from the trade unicns. and especially from the unions and} unorganized workers in the basic in- dustries. Of all the organizations which | united to support the congress, only | one has withdrawn. This is the Na- | tional Executive Committee of the So- | cialist Party, which began disruptive | activities at once by sabotaging the activities of the Arrangements Com- mittee on which it was represented for several weeks, and holding back the call to the Congress which all other organizations had sent out. Socialists ‘Try to Disrupt ‘This maneuver was preparatory 1o| the blow the national Socialist lead- ership hoped to strike at the Con- gress by ostentatiously withdrawing from the Congres, on the pretext that its war stand had been criticized in| the Daily Worker. Robert Minor, | representing the Communist Party, revealed at once that the Socialist executive had planned to withdraw long before. He read a letter ad- dressed to the Socialist executive by the New York local, demanding that it withdraw regardless of whether or | not the conditions of the united front | were observed. | 100 Local Committees At Work The Socialist maneuver failed en-| tirely to interfere with the Congress. | Over 100 local anti-war organizations | were set up throughout the country | to support the Congress, developing on the broadest possible basis, and | involving many Socialist rank and | file workers. State committees to co- | ordinate the work of the local com- mittees have been set up in Wyo- | ming, Nebraska, Connecticut, and | California. | | The Congress was originally called | |to predict that the Soviet Union was | | swinging back to capitalism? And what's become of the Social- ists who felt very superior to the | Communist die-hards and “barraciade | | boys,” because they were giving Hit- ler an awful shellacking by getting | the workers to vote for Von Hinden- burg? And what's become of the little pink dreamer who would assure you there'd never be another world war in our life-time, because all the gov- jernments were bankrupt and the masses wouldn’t fight anyway? And who now remembers Hoover's promise four years ago that unem- ployment would be over by the spring, and that everyone ought to help mat- ters by “giving a job till June?” Be) oa Nira Patriots. A friend told me this anecdote: “Down on the East Side there was | opened recently a very flossy saloon | on a certain street. It is owned by| two brothers—Greeks. I know the| history of these brothers, It’s quite | interesting. Originally there were | four brothers, and they were big-time | racketeers on this street ever since I| was a boy. ‘Two, however, were) rubbed out by business rivals. “They own the building in which the saloon is located. First it was a big gambling dive—then it became, so rumor went, the warehouse and | headquarters of an international white | |slave traffic, “Anyway, at least four murders |were committed in the building that |received some publicity, Of the rest one can only guess. For the funeral |of one of the brothers every Tam- many big shot from Jimmy Walker down was present to officially grieve and mourn. “Well, anyway, I was rambling around my old East Side haunts the other night and saw this ritzy saloon the brothers had opened. Some of my old pals down there tell me it’s quite a fashional hangout for the un- derworld. And in the window there is pasted a big poster showing the Blue Eagle, with under it those proud Patriotic words, “We Do Our Part.” | Congress of Youth against War and for albor Day week-end, Sept. 1 to 4. But the development of new sup- port throughout the country, and the affiliation of new organizations, made it necessary to postpone the Congress | until Sept. 21 to Oct. 1, in order to give all organizations time to mobilize their fullest influence. The*illness of Henri Barbusse, famous French nov- elist and anti-war fighter, made post- ponement desirable as well, in order to make it possible for him to at- tend as a delegate from France. Tom Mann Visa Refused Tom Mann, foremost British labor | leader, also accepted the committee's | invitation to take part in the Con-/| gress. But the widening support the | Congress was receiving, and the great | importance of the Congress in mobil- | izing anti-war feeling in the United | States caused the Washington gov- ernment to intervene, and to refuse Tom Mann a visa. A nation-wide protest was aroused | against this act, and delegations went} to Washington to Secretary of State} Cordell Hull, and to Frances Perkins, secretary of Labor. As a result of this protest, a new hearing on Tom Mann’s visa application is now being held in the American Consulate in London, Many New Elements Join The constant broadening of the support for the Congress has resulted | in a great enlargement of the ar- rangements committee, to give repre- sentation to the newly added organ- izations, which include the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the American Federa-| tion of Full Fashioned Hosiery Work- | ers. Leaders in the field of labor, | unemployed, the anti-Fascist move-| ment, veterans, pacifism, youth, and other social groups are represented.) In spite of the official withdrawal of | the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party, more than 12 leading Socialist Party members are serving on the Arrangements Com-| mittee for the Congress, Rallies to Ratify — Youth Delegates to Paris Congress NEW YORK.—Numerous ratifica-| tion meetings for the delegates fram New Yorks City to the Paris World Fascism are being planned for the next five days in all parts of the city.

Irish Worker Greets News of Irish Struggles Says Gralton, Moriarty, Sheilds Show Ameri-| can-Irish That Anti-Imperialist Fight Is Fight Against Capitalism NEW YORK.—The following letter has been received by the Daily Worker from an Irish reader: “In your editor’s note in your issue of September 4 you ask for com- ments by Irish workers on the two-part interview with Jim Gralton, by Martin Moriarty, and the article by published in the Daily Worker in or-¢ der to help make the ‘Daily’ an ef- fective organizer of support for the Trish revolutionary movement. Such @ request on your part is to my mind very important and a@ request which should be taken advantage of by every Irish worker interested in the present struggle in Ireland. “The recent deportation of Jim Gralton by the Fianna Fail Govern- ment has helped further to open the eyes of honest Irish working class revolutionists, who at one time be- lieved that the present administra- tion in Ireland would eventually solve their problem. The result is that many are now actually groping for another leadership, although com- | paratively few of them have yet found cut the impoftance of linking up their struggle with the international class struggle of the workers, Greets Daily Worker. “T, therefore, as an Irish worker, greet the offer of co-operation from the ‘Daily’ as a further aid to the work of getting the Irish workers in America into line in a common strug- gle against capitalism and imper- ialism, now and always led under the leadership of the Irish workers’ revo- lutionary groups or the Irish Com- munist Party. “However, as many Irish workers do not yet realize that the workers’ evening.

In- deed it was a surprise to several of my Irish friends when I pointed out the back page articles to them re- ferred to above. “In making a plea, therefore, for more articles by men of the type of Comrades Gralton, Moriarty and Shields, I would suggest that now and then front page space should be given to them in order to draw the attention of the Irish working class to the ‘Daily’, Blow to Capitalism. “I could point to a mass of reasons rfo such a suggestion but suffice to say here that the ‘Daily’ will strike a very effective blow, if it succeeds thtough co-operation with Irish workers in exposing the common enemy—capi- talism—to Irish-American workers, and by so doing create a more pro- found disgust of Irish or Irish-Amer- icans who (originally chased from their native iand through the greed of cspitalism) would accept in re- turn for blood money the task of holding down American workers for the self-same system, with all its attendant evils of misery, graft, greed, prostitution and degradation. Again, we could, if successful, de- stroy forever so-called Irish-Amer- {ean newspapers who shout for “Na- tional” freedom or Irish capitalist freedom to exploit and condemn the struggle of the workers which alone calls for our support. 4 PAT ROE.” Cee es EDITOR’S NOTE; We are very | glad to receive this letter and to publish it.

Intervention in Cuban Revolution Telegrams toRoosevelt Demand “Hands Off Cuba” NEW YORK.—Protests against the armed intervention of America in Cuba poured in on President Roose- velt today in the form if telegrams and resolutions from workers’ organ- izations all over the country, as the toilers of America responded to the call of the Communist Party to voice their demand of “Hands off Cuba!” A call to every district, section, and branch of the International Laber Defense throughout the United States, to immediately wire President Roose- viet raising this demand has been issued, William L.

Demand Change of A School; So Parents Keep Children Home ELIZABETH, N. J., Sept. 8— Parents of 50 children in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades of the Elizabeth schools kept their children home, and petitioned the Board of Education to transfer their children from the George Washing- ton school, to the Jonathan Dick- inson School which is only five blocks away.

R. (Special to the DAILY WORKER) MOSCOW, Sept. 8 (By Cable).— The funeral of the eight heads of Soviet aviation and pilots killed in ‘Tuesday’s crash was held today with an impressive parade and ceremony. ‘The streets were lined with a double row of Red soldiers, and black and red decorations were everywhere as the parade passed, led by a huge band playing funeral marches. There was a profusion of flowers. The parade proceded in a steady down- pour of rain, a continuation of the storm which, according to the pre- liminary report of the government commission, caused the fatal air- plane crash on Tuesday. The parade started from the Hall of Columns, and went to Red Square, where a memorial meeting was held, addressed by high Soviet officials.
