By Carrier: Weekly, 18 cer c 5 cent FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1933 The Red Press Bazaar RED PRESS BAZAAR, at Madison Square Garden. opening today at 4 p.m gives every worker a chance to put our revolutionary press on a more solid footing. The proceeds will go for the upkeep of the Daily Worker, Morning Freiheit, and Young Worker. The value of these organs to the workers does not have to be stressed too much. Revolutionary workers especially know that without the continued publication of our newspapers the task of reaching our fellow workers is practically a hopeless one. And it is only the. workers who will support our publications, which attack every day the evils of capitalism, which utter the-clarion call to workers to rise against our oppres- sors. M MANN, veteran of the class struggle, who offered ; ay come to the opening of the Bazaar to address the workers, was at one time an editor of a revolution- ary publication. He knows the important role our publications play in the class struggle. to the Bazaar, probably the biggest affair of its kind, to do his part to help our revolutionary press. He is today, at 77, one of the most eloquent of revolutionary speakers. He is coming We are not minimizing the relaxation and enjoy- ment that the Bazaar will afford to the workers, their families and friends. This Giant Red Press Bazaar is the more significant at the present time, because its success will mean that opr Red Press can continue to function mightily on the revolutionary battle front of the proletariat, at a | time when all our weapons must be sharpened, in- tensified, to defeat the rising tide of, fascism in the United States. We urge you not only to come, but also that you bring your friends and your fellow shop workers who at such an affair can help us in. our struggle and be drawn closer to our revolutionary movement Murderous Charity (LANKED by Catholic priests at a Charity Conference, Roosevelt yesterday flung down to the 17,000,000 jobless workers and their starving families his relief program for the coming winter. In dozens of pre-election speeches, Roosevelt cauti- ously dangled before the workers the bait of “unem- ployment insurance.” The democratic platform spe- cifically mentions some form of State unemployment insurance. Where are all these promises? Yesterday, Roosevelt told the millions of hungry workers that they must look to the bitter crumbs of charity for relief. He said “The Federal government cannot and does not imtend to take care of the whole job of relief. Every State and community must do its share.” , This was the Hoover program. It is the Roosevelt program. It is the program of harsh, granite resistance t@:the mcst crying need of the American working class at the present moment—Unemployment Insurance at the expense of the Federal government and the em- ployers. The Hoover and Roosevelt program of State and local ‘relief has been such a ghastly failure that even Roosevelt's own Relief Administrator Hopkins, had to admit yesterday that over 15,000,000 workers’ fam- for ilies the coming winter will be the blackest, the most | tragic yet seen during the economic crisis, Unless something is done, Hopkins admitted, thou- sands of workers’ children will feel agonies of starva- tion and cold. And, yet, both he and their jaws and doom the inadequate local charities. Roosevelt's utterance yes- terday was nothing more nor less than a sentence Of doom to literally millions of working class families all over the country, an * his master, Roosevelt, set workers to the criminally we heartless cynicism, Roosevelt preached “a spirit of sacrifice” to the starving, jobless workers. 2, But, within the last six months, Roosevelt has given 600,000,000 to the Army and Navy as part of the regu- | lar ‘budget. “ In addition, he has given them another $325,000,000 from the so-called public works fund. * He has paid out or promised to the Wall Street aa over $725,000,000 in interest and loan pay- en a His agent in the R.P.C. has given hundreds of mil- fons of dollars to the rich railroads and banks, with sult another billion promised. _ And in the face of this brazen squandering for +war and the banks, Roosevelt dares to come before the Starving millions with the hypocrisy of “self-sacrifice!” | This is a brutal crime against the workers and i ir children! + Roosevelt's speech yesterday proven him to be an outspoken agent of the pitiless ruling capitalist class that rules from Wall Street. This is a challenge to the working class! It must be answered. Roosevelt's starvation decree must and can be destroyed!

Roosevelt, President of the | © united invited join the Socialist | Party States, was to 1é may sound incredible. But it actually happened. Over ten thousand New York workers heard Abraham Cahan, one of the oldest leaders of the Socialist Party. id editor of the Socialist paper, the “Forward,” in- vite him in. Here are his actual words, set down for ‘ker to “The N.R.A. has been handled in a democratic way, and the President has earned the gratitude of every thinking man in the country...on the basis of his work so far he really should be a Socialist.” On one side of Cahan sat Norman Thomas. On the other sat the Tammany Police Chief and notorious thug organizer—the unspeakable Grover Whalen. This the party of Eugene Victor Debs. ‘Thomas seconded Thomas reservations Thus the Thomas “left wing” and the Hillquit-Cahan “right wing” of the Socialist Party joined hands. Cahan’s invitation is only the logical culmination | of the congratulatory visit that Thomas and Hillquit paid Roosevelt at the White House in April The socialist leaders have looked Roosevelt over. And they find him good J. P. Morgan and him good Maybe they are next in line for an invitation from Cahan, Hillquit and Thomas, to become members of the party of Debs. | Roosevelt, says Abraham Cahan, “has adminis- | tered the N.R.A. democratically.” What What do the two steel workers who yesterday had their sides ripped away by dum-dum bullets from deputy sheriffs’ rifles think of that? What do the farmers who faced tear gas and machine guns, the New Mexico and Pennsylvania miners who were met with bullets, think of the “democratic methods of Roosevelt”? In Germany the socialist leaders accepted the Kaiser's butcher, Von Hindenburg, as their candidate for President of Germany. They hailed him as their leader, as a great “democrat.” In this country, the Socialist leaders hail Roosevelt in exactly the same way, as a great “socialist.” The part they are playing here is the same as the part their Social-Democratic fellow traitors played in Germany. ‘OCIALIST workers! the hunger, the suffering. in history, who see him building bombing planes, poison gas, tanks—what do you think of Thomas’ and Cahan’s praise for Roosevelt? When we, Communists, call yqur leaders social- fascists, it is not abusive names that we are using. It is not “slanders” and lies that we are flinging, as your leaders say. “We call your leaders social-fascists because they cover up fascist deeds with socialist phrases. When Abraham Cahan calls the capitalist agent, Roosevelt, a “socialist,” he is playing the typical role of the social-fascist. Cahan sees in Roosevelt a fellow-socialist. right. They are both socialists—of the same calibre. Of the calibre of Hindenburg, the fascist butcher. A Vatican Echo HERE was an ominous note sounded in Roosevelt’s charity speech last night. Unbosoming himself before a gathering of high Catholic priests, Roosevelt, darling of the “liberals,” echoed in an unmistakable manner Soviet intervention propaganda that comes from the Pope at the Vatican. In a thinly veiled reference to the Soviet Union, Roosevelt said: “Those people in other lands—I say this advis- edly—who have sought by edict or by law to eliminate the right of mankind to believe in God...have dis- covered that they are...tilting in vain against an inherent quality...an undying necessity of the hu- man race.” What is this if not a watered down version of the He is Pope’s Holy Crusade against the Soviet Union as “the | land of the godless”? Roosevelt lies when he says that the proletarian dictatorship of the Soviet Union forbids religion by law. The Soviet Union by education, by scientific en- lightenment, by cooperative Socialist work for all, is doing away with the need for religion by abolishing the fear, the uncertainty, an the poverty of workers’ life under capitalism. Actually, there is more religious liberty in the Soviet Union than anywhere in the world. But, in the Soviet Union, while the State permits freedom in religion, it fights with the weapon of science against the stupifying effect of all religions on the masses, an effect which is being consciously utilized by capitalist governments all over the world. Roosevelt's veiled threat against the Soviet Union as a land where the “undying necessity of religion” is being crushed, is an ominous sympton of the fact that the “liberal” Roosevelt, is using religious hysteria to blind the workers to their misery under capitalism, and to prepare them for military intervention against* the country where the workers have abolished unem- ployment, wage slavery, and are building a Socialist society. A Mind Cure COUPLE of ministers have announced the forma- tion of a new philanthropy—a mental hygiene clinic for the unemployed, Out of their Christian charity, they will examine jobless workers for whom the hideous insecurity of modern life has become an unbearable mental strain. And then, says the an- nouncement, the unfortunate workers will. be recom- mended to hospitals, Now isn’t that nice? It has neyer occurred to the ministers that a jobless worker whose mind is tortured by the terror of joblessness, whose mind is harrowed by the sufferings of his children, can be miraculously cured by giving him a good, secure job. Has it ever occurred to these charitable people that thousands of workers suffering from the effects of joblessness, could have been saved from their suffer- ings by the security of Federal Unemployment Insur- ance paid by the government and the employers? * . * Tt is a fact that the nightmare of unemployment has aggravated the mental sufferings of thousands of workers, has driven many of them to suicide and {| insanity. That is part of the ghastly toll that capital- ism takes from the working class, But the cure for it is not to confine these workers to bleak city hospitals, The cure is to make it possible for them to em- | ploy their normal energies in useful work. | But this will be possible only if the working class | drives the capitalist class out of the ruling position in society and opens the factories again.

A short, vigorous and.. extremely energetic man, despite his. 77 years, with the hale and salty air of a masterful sea captain, Mann aroused aroused the audience to énthusiasm by his forthright attacks on im- perialist war and the capitalist class. “The British Constitution ‘is the |dirtiest bundle of laws collected in | the last thousand years,” he . cried. |“Damn the British constitution, damn the dirty, robbing ruling class,” | shouted this veteran of 50 years of | intense class struggle against cap- | italism, | “EF want to make \clear,” Mann continued, “I am pre- |pared to fight the tyrannical, bully- jing, exploiting ruling robbers every. montent of my life, to the last day of my life, What a mean» thing | would I be if I failed in that,” he.

High in Soviet Union No Unemployment in! USSR; 17,000,000 Are Jobless Here NEW YORK, Ostoher 5:—Steel pro- duction; the best’ indicator of the trend of general business, still con- tinues to drop steadily despite the; fact that the usual seasonal trend at this time of the year is upward. ' The latest reports show that steel production is now below .40 per cent of capacity, .and heading further downward as the usual Fall demand has failed to appear. As a result of the ‘continuing drop of business during September, the; New York Times chart of business activity shows the twelfth consecu- tive decline since June, In the last two and a half months; business has dropped 20 per cent. These figures indicate the complete failure of the Roosevelt program. to alleviate the economic crisis. Thoy contrast vividly with the latest re- ports from the Soviet Union which indicate that the productive activity of the Soviet Union has just reached ! a new all-time record high. This upward development: of the Soviet Union has completely: abolished all unemp,oyment whereas the decline in, American ptoduction has thrown 17,- 000,000 men into the streets. British Labor Party Votes Against War —With Exceptions Kills Disarmament and Outright Anti-War Resolutions HASTINGS, England, Oct. 5.—The British Labor Party unanimously voted not to participate in a future war and to move for a general strike “if necessary,” to prevent war's out- break, at its asm@el conference here today. Despite the peace fervor of the debates, the conference voted for war “in case of actual aggression,” which is the formula under which all im- perialist powers go to war. ‘The anti-war resolution was emas- culated and exposed as a hollow sham immediately afterwards, however, when an, amendment to follow the ; example set by the students of Ox- ford, ‘pledging the Labor Party “un- | der -no circumstances to fight for King and Country” was killed. The Executive Committee also killed. a resolution that the next La- bor Government disarm Great Brit- ain totally, as proposed by the Soviet delegation at Geneva. Characteristic of the conference at- titude was the fact that the debate was*led by Arthur Henderson, Pres- ident of the Geneva “Disarmament” Conference. Cut Torgsin Prices 50 Percent in U. S. S. R. NEW YORK.—Prices of all goods in Torgsin stores in the U. 8, S. R. have just been reduced another 50 per: cent, it was announted by the general representative of Torgsin in the United States today. Charges. for parcel service to re- cipients living in localities without Tergsin stores have also been cut.! These reductions will make it still easier for persons in the United States to send Torgsin orders to their friends or relatives in the Soviet Union. 100 Communists Jailed In ‘Rhineland City BERLIN, Germany, Oct. 5.—The Nai secret police arrested 100 Com-! munists on charges of seditious ac- tivity in Oberhausen; Rhineland in- | dustrial city, yesterday. | women, peasants, students and in- telléctuals—declare our united de- | 1,000 Delegates Take Solemn Pledge to Fight War; French Soldiers Greet Congress With Red.Front Salute NEW YORK.—The American delegation to the World Youth Congress Against War and Fascism, held in Paris, Sept. 22-24, returned yesterday bringing with them the pledge solemnly adopted by the Congress delegates on the battlefield of Compiegne, Congress Pledge Against War. “We, the youth of the world, of every continent, of every race, of every calling—workers, young termination to fight against war, to smash fascism, to fight under the Red Flag of Socialism. “Remembering the millions of war dead, in the teeth of terror, famine and slavery—the fruits of capitalism—we take this solemn pledge to play our part, to carry out the Charter of the World Youth Congress, to keep fighting day after day against the preparations for imperialist war in all its forms, and te defend the Soviet Union. “If in spite of our efforts, imper- ialist war should break out, we un- dertake to strangle it by universal fraternization of the young men and women of all the countries in the world. “We shall never submit to pour- ing out our blood for the profit of the rich. “We are sounding the rallying ery for the youth of the world. We shall avenge the dead. We appeal to the living.” “We never before witnessed such enthusiasm, such militancy, as at the Paris World Congress,” declared Thomas Joyce of the Marine Work- ers’ Industrial Union, delegated by New York and Brooklyn youth or- ganizations. Lonnie Williams, young Negro worker from the Ford River Rouge plant in Detroit, added that many of the 1,025 delegates came to the Congress at the risk of their lives, especially those from Fascist’ and colonial countries. There were 40 delegates from Germany, while nine came all the way from Spain on foot. Five Polish Delegates Seized by Nazis. Five young Polish delegates were arrested by the Nazi police in Berlin on their way to Paris for the Con- gress and nothing has been heard of them since. Barbusse Speaks. Henri Barbusse opened the Con- gress with a flaming call to the youth of the world to take the van in the fight against war and against the terror regime of Fascism. He said “It was through ignorance that youths went to war in 1914, and it is through ignorance, against their plainest desires that masses of young men are allowing themselves to be pushed by the debasing exploitation of youthful enthusiasm and heroism into the ranks of Fascism—and they are marked out as its first victims.” Barbusse pointed to the fact that there were 120,000 adherents of the Congress in Spain alone and 100,000 in: France as a glorious sign of the awakening of the young men and women of the world to their respons- ibilities in the struggle against Fas- cism and war. . Calls on Youth to Act. “You are the shock brigade of con- temporary humanity, you are the masters of tomorrow, you are the victors of tomorrow,” Barbusse cried in_ his final appeal to the Congress. “This united front is the vanguard of the world’s workers, is the image of living reality. There is only one pro- letariat in the world and humanity is one. And now it is up to the youth to speak!” Soviet Peasant Gitl Speaks Barbusse was followed by represen- tatives of 36 different countries, in- cluding a peasant girl, Natalya, from a Soviet collective farm, who received an oVation for her magnificent speech portraying the astonishing growth in the prosperity of peasants in the So- cialist State. Kosaroff, of the Central Committee of the Young Communist League of the Soviet Union, pointed out why the U. S. S. R. is not and can never pC NE scribed life in the Red Arm; The pledge reads: >, Which he called the line of defense of the workers’ only fatherland. Munitions Plants Send Delegates Young workers were present as delegates from the biggest muni- tions factories in Europe, inchnd- ing Krupp of Germany, Schneider- Creusot of France, the Skoda Works of Czechoslovakia, and Vickers- Armstrong of Great Britain. A highlight of the Congress was an excursion to the battlefield of Compiegne, where the Armistice was. signed on Nov. 11, 1918. The militant taxi drivers union of Paris placed nearly 200 cabs at the disposal of the Congress for the trip. In front of the “peace monument” on the battlefield the delegates took the pledge printed above. Soldiers Give Red Front Salute ‘The delegates turned the trip back to Paris into an anti-war demonstra- tion, passing several towns with army barracks, where many soldiers gave the Congress delegates the raised clenched fist “Red Front” salute. Paris Police Arrest 15 German Delegates The Paris police broke-up the parade when it reached the city, are resting 22 German delegates for “anti-militarist propaganda among the armed forces.” French Commu~- nist deputies intervened and forced their release, The honorary presidium of the Congress included Barbusse, Romain Rolland, Maxim Gorki, Andre Gide and several world-famous French professors. Ernst Thaelmann, Ernst Torgler, Dimitroff, Popoff and Ta- neff, as well as Bruno Tesch, heroic young German Communist executed by the Nazi headsmen in Altona, were also elected to the presidium. Delegates attended from practically every country in Europe, and from South America, Cuba, Morocco, Al~ geria, China, Japan, Canada and the United States. ¥ The other American delegates were Toijo Oja, young: Finnish’ furniture worker of Gardner, Mass.; Phil Ro- sengarten, shoe worker of Brooklyn, representing the I.W.O.; and Clemens Strauss, of Waterbury, Conn., of the National Lithuanian Youth Federa- tion, The delegation was greeted the steamship Lafayette by groups from the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union and various national youth organizations.
