Hitler is very fond of the same “national unity” phrase. Only the other day, he told his Fascist Storm Troopers that their “duty was to destroy all those who would break our national unity.” What is this “national unity yelt and Hitler are so fond The pl of which both Roose- e about “n: thing but a cloak to conceal the capitalist ruler, be it Hitler or Roosevelt, is the agent and instrument of the capitalist class, in this instance, of the Morgan- Rockefeller clique of finance capitalists at Wall Street. The Roosevelt. Government is not a government of “national unity.” It is the government of the ruling capitalist class, of the Wall Street, plunderers and ex- ploiters, against the vast toiling propertyless popula- | tion. It is to hide this fact that Roosevelt prates | about “national unity. HIND the phrase of “national unity,” the Roose- velt, Government has gone ahead with a brutal pro- gram of driving down the veterans with the sole pur- pose of paying off the Wall Street banks and giant ifulti-millionaire capitalist investors! Behind the phrase of “natiomal unity,” Roosevelt “lashed $400,000,000 from the veterans’ compensation But he did not say that to “balance the budget” meant taking the $400,000,000 from the veterans in order to pay off part of the $750,000,000 government bond investments of the Wall Street banks, Roosevelt, trampled on the bonus claims of the vet- €rane in the name of “national unity.” But he did not tell the veterans that he appro- priated within the last six months $600,000,000 for the regular Army and Navy budget, and an additional $325,000,000 from the so-called vast military pork bar- tel, ironically named the “public works fund,” making # total of close to one billion dollars in a half year for the greatest war preparations program in history. The funds, that should go for the bonus and vet- erans compensation, are going to build battleships and bombing planes! that. . Roosevelt had the gall to tell the veterans that his government “is less and less willing to tolerate benefits for one group of citizens which must be paid for by others.” Roosevelt did not tell the veterans | He had the gall to say this after his agent in the | R.F.C., Jesse Jones, has already handed out millions | of the government funds to the rich railroads and banks, and has just promised big industry another billion in fat subsidies, He had the gall to say that, after his administra- tion has handed out millions upon millions to rich Southern plantation landlords, in generous bounties for destroying cotton! i a spirit of jingoism that can not be distinguished | from the speeches of Hitler, Roosevelt’ declared: “There are two enemies of national nity, sec- -tionalism and class. If the spirit of class is allowed “46 grow strong or to prevail, it means the end of “national unity and patriotism... If our social order means anything to us, it is worth defending every ‘May of our life... 1 have called you to the colors “again. As your commander-in-chief, I am confident you will respond.” In these words of Roosevelt, unmistakabie, harsh, and brutal, is the spirit of capitalist-reactionary Fas- cism. In these words, ‘way as the Fascist ruler Hitler, Is upon the military ; ery same breath ‘shé déhoutices.the “dole.” Typ! Rooseveltian trickery! What. does she mean by that “dole” which she finds so distasteful? She means Unemployment Inshrance paid for by he government and bosses. What does she mean by “jobless insurance.” She means the taking of funds from workers who now have jobs, to set up a’ reserve fund for them, to be paid out in the foture! She means that the workers shall pay for their own loss of jobs! About the 17,000,000 workers now starving, Miss Perkins has nothing.to say!. She proposes a public works program to. take up slack - iri employment! But what have you to say about the present, Roose- yelt public works-program which is turning out to be the greatest war building program in the country's history, Miss Perkins? Is. it not remarkably con- venient for the Naval clique, which is now plunder- ing the Public Works Fund, to have you set the work- ers’ eyes On some distant program? You talk proudly about. the fact the “workers are benefitting under the codes.” You quote statistics about higher wages. But why are you so silent en the fact the cost of food has risen 18 per cent since your admired Roo- sevelt came into office? Why are yon so silent on the fact that the codes legalize starvation wages? How does it come about that the 100,000 coal miners, the teel and auto workers find your codes so harsh and bitter, Miss Perkins? They find your codes to be slavery, Miss Perkins, Your insistence that “Amevican workers be kept from the dangers of the “dole,” coupled with your enthu- siastic lying about the blessings of. the codes, means, -| Miss Pi ns, that you, together with the most reac- tionary exploiters and war-makers, are part of the capitalist fight against Unemployment Insurance for the jobless workers Your fine ph s cannot hide that, Liberal Trickery ‘al pretensions of the Roosevelt Administra- tion are beautifully illustrated by the behavior of etary Perkins’ Department of Labor in the mrat- r of admitting Tom Mann, British Communist and an of nearly fifty years of fighting in the class Secretary Perkins claims to have “liberalized” the immigration regulations regarding the admittance of foreign visitors to the United States. The hypocrisy of her claims can find no better proof than the delay in granting Tom Mann/a visa. ‘ As the “New York American” exultingly points out, “Mann’s visa was not granted by the American Consul in London until too late for him to attend the United | States Congress Against War.” ery is one side of the medal, brutal deportation to Bulgaria of Antonoff as'the other. This bit of sly trick- A Job for Honest Socialists EMBERS of the Socialist Party who served as del- egates to the United States Congress Against War, if their radical speeches are to be accepted at their face value, cannot avoid a clear-cut stand on the ar- rest and pending trial of the twenty-three anti-fascist workers in the “Socialist City,” Milwaukee. We particularly single out those leading socialists like J. B. Mathews, Mary Fox, David Lesser and Paul | Porter, who actively participated both in the prepar- atory work for the Congress and in the Congress it- self. On these leading people, particularly, the respon- sibility falls for a clear cut and decisive stand against the social-fascist policies and acts of the Socialist Party leadership. The decisions of the Anti-War Congress were unan- imously made, The Socialist delegates in the con- gress, including those named, joined with the repre- sentatives of the hundreds of other workers’ organi- | zations in declaring their determination to resist im- perialist war and fascism, and “all developments lead- ing to fascism in this country and abroad.” The Con- gress decided “to form committees of action against war and fascism in every important center and in- y,” and declared that, “only the rousing and or- ganizing of the masses...can effect:vely combat war.” In the closing session of the United States Con- gress Against War, the leading socialist, J. B. Mathews, unconditionally stated: “This Congress is living proof of the possibility of united action between Communists and Socialists.” . ET, while these socialists in the Congress were making such declarations and subscribing apparent- | ly whole-heartedly to the militant program against Roosevelt, in precisely the same | mpper crust of the Legion to consider itself as the or- | - ganized’ bulwark against the efforts, not only of the -Yeterans, but of the whole toiling population to fight vagainst the Wall Street starvation program of the Roosevelt, Government, And it is a call that has heen answered. ‘The “bureaucracy of the American Legion, the rich business- ymen, the Army officers, the capitalist politicians, have ‘ ady joined with Roosevelt in the fight against the Tank and file Legionnaires who want the bonus and adequate compensation benefits. This upper crust has already betrayed the decision of the last Legion Con- vention in favor of the bonus. » When Roosevelt sounds the war cry against the “@pirit of class” he is summoning up every force of Teaction and militarism to prepare to defend the in- Stetests-of Wall Street against the rising anger of the “world war veterans and the hungry masses everywhere. © )SSuch a call is a call to the rank and file veterans stand idly by while the Roosevelt Government, ders the peopte to fatten the bankers and the war iget. “Roosevelt's American Legion speech is a. challenge “fe the rank and file veterans, as well as it is a chal- “Tenge to the entire working class. | Tt tsa challenge that can be fittingly answered by _Bnremitting- organization and struggle in every Post Of the Legion, and by the growing fight of the Workers r "es Leagus. ef United front of all rank and file veterans can force Roosevelt, the Wall Street agent and war-maker, to, deliver to the veterans what is due them — their bonus and thetr compensation payments. . A Masked Fight T= lady, ‘Miss Perkins, whom the wily Roosevelt chose as the liberal window-dressing for’ his reac- tionary-militarist cabinet, spoke the other day before Sn assemblage of Catholic charity workers. She proposed a high sounding, elaborate program, seemingly for the welfare of the working class. But upon examination her program turns out to be exactly the same as the Roosevelt program of honey ‘Words and reactionary deeds. Miss Perkins’ speech was widely publicized as a “"call for jobless insurance.” But is it? Far from it. It is actimly~a masked “tight against the major demand of the American work- class: Unemployment Insurance at the expense of the government and the employers. Miss Perkins talks about “Jobless insurance.” But & ‘ war and fascism, the Socialist Party—their party— was actively sabotaging both the Congress and the anti-war, anti-fascist struggle. Milwaukee affords the clearest example Hans Luther, the ambassador of the murderous Hitler regime, visit Milwaukee. The Milwaukee workers were aroused as the Anti- War Congress decided the workers should be aroused against fascism. Théy. decided to demonstrate against this fascist, representative; they decided to make this an occasion on which to categorically demand the release of Thaelmann, Torgler, Dimitroff, Popoff, ‘Tanev and all other anti-fascist fighters in Germany. ~ These workers, led by the Communist Party, went to the Socialist Mayor, Daniel W. Hoan, a member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party, and requested a permit for a demonstration be- fore the Milwaukee Club, where ambassador Luther was scheduled to speak, Mayor Hoan refused these workers a permit for the demonstration. More than that, Mayor Hoan ordered out his “so- cialist” police to break up the demonstration, to club the workers. Men, women and children were severely beaten. charged with “rioting,” “unlawful assembly,” “inciting to riot,” and “resisting police.” They now face jail sentences ranging up to three years. The warrants for the arrest of these workers were made out by the socialist city attorney. All this was done in defense of fascism, to prevent @ workers’ demonstration against fascist terror, by a socialist administration, in fact by Mayor-Hoan, who has been made national chairman of the anti-fascist committee set up by the Socialist Party, This shows that their sabotage of the Anti-War Congress, their refusal to join a united front against fascism, the setting up of. their own so-called anti- fascist body, their support for the N.R.A., etc..was all done to prevent a real struggle against fascism, in fact to pave the way for fascism as did the German Social-Democrats. IOCTALIST workers, honestly against war end against, fascism, cannot go along with such leaders or with such a party. The socialist workers who have pledged themselves to- the. program adopted at the Anti-War Congress cannot remain quiet while workers demon- strating against fascist terror are clubbed and. jailed at the order of the socialist city officials of Milwaukee. Every branch of the Socialist Party, every workers’ organization should immediately register their empha- tic protest. Resolutions should be adopted; wires should be sent to Mayor Hoan expressing the indigna- tion of the workers and demanding the immediate release of the twenty-three imprisoned workers. Socialist supporters of the Anti-War Congress can best: prove: the- sincerity of their militant speeches by taking the lead in this fight to force the release of the Milwaukee workers, whose only “crime” is their fight against fascism, including the social-fascism of Hoan.

They destroy cities and buildings that workers have built for centuries in misery.
