T THE present moment a warship with unmuzzled guns of the United States fleet is anchored in the Waters near a large Cuban sugar plantation where the workers have seized the sugar mills. The mills are owned by Percy Rockefeller and Vin- eent Astor, two American multi-millionaires of the Wall Street financial clique. (Wasn't Roosevelt a guest en Vincent Astor’s private yacht recently?) Twenty other American destroyers are within gun- fire of the workers’ quarters of Havana, ready to open up bombardment at any moment Why? To “protect private property”—“to maintain Jaw and order,” says the Roosevelt government. But it is to protect the sugar plantation invest- ments of the Morgan National City Bank, and Wall Street finance that the United States fleet is in Havana. It is to force the Cuban sugar workers back on to the slave plantations where Wall Street can again sweat enormous profits out of them. It is to protect Wall Street loans that Roosevelt sends the fleet to Cuba. And on top of ali this a group of pacifists from the Peace House send the following congratulatory tele- fram to President Roosevelt “We representatives of peace and religious erganizations extend you our hearty congratula- tions upon your avoidance of armed intervention in Cuba. We urge the withdrawal of battleships as soon as their need for refief of refugees per- mits.” How typical this is of pacifism! The presence of gunboats carrying regiments of marines with un- sheathed bayonets—this is not intervention! If the Japanese imperialist government were to send twenty battleships to New York Harbor to “maintain Yaw and order and to protect refugees,” would the ladies and gentlemen of the Peace Society consider it armed intervention or not? To protect refugees! What %& this if not playing right into the hands of the imperialist Roosevelt goy- ernment? Is it not by exactly such excuses that every imperialist country has always justified its armed pene- tration of other countries? Did not Japan rape Manchuria and bombard Shang- hai to “protect Japanese citizens and to maintain law and order?” The Cuban workers who see the long shining muzzies of the American fleet and hear the clank of machine guns aboard, know that the Roosevelt government has already declared WAR, against the revolutionary up- rising of the Cuban workers and peasants. * * * — always denounces the imperialist aggres- sion of other countries. To the imperialist inter- Yention of its own government it is always blind. That is why part of the fight against war Is a fight ®gainst pacifist illusions. What we must do is not to congratulate Roosevelt, but to rouse the masses of this country to the fact that Roosevelt has already intervened in Cuba, that the Presence of armed forces jn Cuba means WAR against the Cuban masses. We must expose mercilessly every war move, every War preparation of the Roosevelt government. And not the least of our tasks is to reveal the true Meaning of such telegrams as the Peace Society sent to the White House. Meeting the “Red Scare” ‘OING into its fourth’ week, the strike of the 1,100 Walworth Foundry workers in South Greensburg, Pa., under the leadership of the Steel and Metal Work- ers Industrial Union is solid. Many valuable lessons fan be learned by our whole trade union movement from such The greatest lesson of all is the splendid results of the fight against the “red scare” which was met and defeated by the strikers in @ decisive manner. Linked up with the fight against the red scare were the valuable lessons achieved in combatting the illusions regarding the N.R.A. and its agents who attempted to enter and crush the strike through “a mediator.” The S.M.W.L.U. held its first meeting of the Wal- Worth strikers, significantly enough through the aid of the former Unemployed Council members who were re-employed by the company, int the beginning of July this year. The union was faced with the problem of organizing workers who in the majerity had never had organizational experience before and who therefore were very backward and hesitant in the beginning of the drive. At the first organization meeting, the red scare Was raised by company agents in an attempt to break up the drive. Many workers hesitated, confused; some even were antagonistic toward the union. The union immediately adopted the policy of meeting the red seare head on, without evasion and without compro- mise. The role of the Communist Party in the S.M. WLU. was spoken of openly at the meetings’ and certain leaders of the union openly admitted member- ship in the Communist Party. The workers sensed the aggressive policy of the union, recognized the mean- ing of the class struggle program of the union in A strikes as these. | should be given by all organizations for the winning DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY SEPTEMBE 50, 19: ne 933 contrast to the A. F. of L. and turned their attlention to the program and structure of the union, instead of allowing themselves to be split up and confused by the red scare. F ‘THE union leadership had denied the role of the Communist Party, if it had evaded the challenge. we would never have succeeded in defeating the red scare when it was raised by the company in the most decisive period of the strike, when the whole force of reaction was mobilized through the press, the local business men, the N.R.A. “mediators”, the State Labor Department and so on. In the beginning of the strike, the workers had great faith in the N.R.A. of Roosevelt-Johnson & Co. But by continued and relentless hammering away on the sell-out character of the N.R.A. codes in steel, textile, etc., the workers began to realize that they were once again being fooled by promises of “better conditions” that really meant further slavery under the tacel of the Ble E.gle Today, the NRA. is fully understood by the vast majority of the strikers, so much so, that the “mediator” of the N.R.A. was told by the strikers to get out and stay ouf of the strike. Starting without local leadership, the strikers today have developed a broad: group of local leaders who have demonstrated their ability time and time again to out-maneuver the company, to fight the red scare and prevent the breaking of the strike from a hundred different reactionary sources. Local speakers, capable of speaking at length to thousands of workers on the program of our union, its policies, ete. have been developed. Most important of all, beginning the strike with a strike committee of forty-two members without a single Party member, today almost the entire leader: ship of the strike committee are in the Party and vieing with one another in recruiting for the Party. | From strong Roosevelt supporters with full confidence | in the N.R.A., the strike has rapidly converted the strike leaders into potential Bolsheviks and memb of the Communist Party. | T THE last membership meeting of the local, at a time when the red scare was acute, the strike | committee passed a decision to meet the “red scare” by inviting the most well-known Communist in West- moreland County, A. Wally, to speak to the member- ship and explain the role of the Party to the strik- ers. A few months previously to that the same work- ers were for the most part antagonistic to this com- rade due to the constant barrage conducted by the local press and the activities of the Party in that ter- ritory. Comrade Wally spoke and received a tre- mendous ovation. The “red scare” was promptly dropped by the bosses for the time being. The lessons to be drawn by these events are simple. The best way to fight the red scare is to bring forward the Party boldly and build the Party in the ranks of the very workers whom the bosses intend to utilize to fight the Party and our union. Many. attempts have been made to date to break the strike. The real test of strength is still to come. So far, the mass picketing has defeated every attack | by the company. Relief is being organized to feed the hungry. The workers are determined to fight and win their demands if they have to dig in for the rest of the winter. A lot depends on this strike. union in Western Pennsylvania. Tt is decisive for our All possible support of the strike. Broad St. The City Tax Swindle ‘HE fii The relief headquarters are at 1411 | South Greensburg, Pa, act of the Tammany-Wall Street tax comedy is over. It has been eminently successful—for Wall Street. The second act is beginning. From the very first day on whch Untermyer an- nounced his “tax on Wall Street,” the Daily Worker alone exposed it as a fraud, as a temporary drug to lull the vigilance and anger of the workers while the real thrust of the increased water rates were slipped over. Now that the increased water rates have been securely fastened on the backs of the workers, the drug is withdrawn. Mayor O’Brien vetoes the Wall Street | taxes. But the $12,500,000 slice to come out of the in- creased water rates—this is here to stay, permanently. And the city government will have handed over to the Wall Street banks by the end of the month the sum of $30,000,000 in interest payments and loan pay- ments. Now the city is borrowing another $124,000,000 from the bankers—in order to pay back the bankers, piling up loans upon loans, with an ever increasing interest burden. No wonder Wall Street smiles. . 2 *. NE exceedingly illuminating incident in this crude, brutal swindle is the part played by the Socialist Mayoralty Candidate, Charles Solomon. While the Communist Party, in the person of its candidate, Robert Minor, was tearing the Untermyer tax program to tatters, the socialist candidate declared: “It is a very, very good program.” The Socialist Party leaders, obviously, did their part in leading the workers into the Tammany-Wall Street trap. Today, with the city government determined to ful- fill its promise to the Rockefeller-Morgan banking clique, the danger of new heavy taxes and drastic wage slashes in the Civil Service payrolls is greater than it has ever been, Untermeyer has already sounded the signal by his latest deal with the Rockefeller-Morgan banks. This deal certainly means more taxes, increased subway fare, and more wage cuts for the Civil Service em- ployees. ‘That will be the second act of the Tammany tax program. The fight against the city government agents of Wall Street must rise to tremendous heights, The Communist Party leads the way! It demands that the city government lay its hands at once on Rockefeller-Morgan millions lying in the bank vaults! The Communist Party demands the immediate stop- ping of all payments to the Wall Street bankers! This is the only program in the interests of the city’s toiling population. a The Capitalist Armed Forces Tt is a known fact that the numer- ieal strength of the armies of the ing reduced in the years following thé war, have grown.

The } Naz By ROBERT HAMILTON VIL An essential part of the Goebbels- Goering plot to burn the Reichstag was to find some way of pinning the blame on the Communists, There was no point in setting the Reichstag on fire unless the crime could be used to crush the Communist Party organiza~ tion throughout Germany. | One of the links to the Commu- nists forged by the Nazis was the alleged connection between van der |Lubbe, the ex-Communist renegade, and high leaders of the Communist Party, This the Nazis tried to show by broadcasting to the world the lie that van der, Lubbe had been “continuously present at the meetings of the Communist Action Committee (a wholly mythical organization in- vented by the Nazis) and was drawn in to carry out the incendiary act.” i Why Torgler Was Framed | But this wasn’t enough for Goebbels jand Goering. Their frame-up re- quired that a high official of the Communist Party be directly involved in setting the Reichstag on fire. Goering, as Speaker of the Reichstag, had access to the records of when deputies entered and left the build- ing. When he learned that Ernst Torgler, chairman of the Communist deputies in the Reichstag, and Wil- helm Koenen, another prominent Communist deputy, had been the last Communist deputies to leave, noth- ing was simpler than to have the offi- cial Prussian Press Service issue a statement on March 1—two days after the fire, while all Germany was whipped into a fury of lynch enthu- siasm, with thousands of Commu- nisis being arrested wholesale—that Torgler and Koenen had helped to set the torches. ‘The same official statement said that no less than “three witnesses saw the arrested Dutch criminal in the company of the Communist dep- uties Torgler and Koenen in the is Frame To ' rgler and the Bulgarians Fabricate Flimsy “Evidence” to Railroad) ; Communist Leaders to Gallows Reichstag at about 8 p.m." But it is one thing to cook up a police.

Second, the official Prussian press statement of March 1 has Torgler and Koenen leaying the Reichstag at about 10 p.m., after the fire had been burning for over 45 minutes with thousands of storm troopers, police lines and firemen surrounding the Reichstag.

That is why they framed’ Torgler, Dimitroff and the other two Bulga- rians. That is why every paper in Nazi-ruled Germany has had to scream day after day for the past seven months that “the Communists burned the Reichstag.” But Goebbels’ and Goering’s frame- up is just a little bit too shaky and thin. It was completely punctured by the evidence brought out at the Lon- don counter-trial on Sept. 12. It can- not even stand examination in a brutally biased, Nazi-controlled court in Leipzig. Although no one in Ger- many dares say it aloud—the concen- tration camps are too near—even the most reactionary newspapers in Eu~ rope outside of Germany must admit that Torgler and his Bulgarian com- rades are innocent, nation-wide workers’ and peasants’ revolt.

The defending counsel chosen by me: the Bulgarian lawyer, Dr. Det- cheff, and the French, lawyers Moro- Giafferi, Campinchi, and Torres, have been refused by the Supreme Court. The reason given in Detcheff’s case is that the “barrister does not know the German language;” in the case of the French lawyers, that “apart from its not being known whether these barristers know German, ot whether the German counsel ir agreed with a joint defense, there {no visible reason why these barris« ters should act in addition to the appointed counsel.” The trial is fixed at last for 21st September.
