Al other political parties except the Communist Party are pledged to ROBERT MINOR b sail from the point of view of Le working class, which we represel the so-called “economy first” type of taxation in this economi: crisis means in plain English starvation first. We are in the midst of the deep- est and the longest, the most terrible economic crisis ever known in the history of civilization. Seventeen million workers are unemployed in the United States, the only indus- trial country in the .whole world whose national government absolute- ly rejects responsibility for insuring workers against unemployment. ‘The National Recovery Act is not solving the problem. In fact, it is an open secret that the N.R.A. has completely collapsed as a recovery measure. The problem of unemployment is not wolved by the NRA, and the full budget. The Communist Party demands that the city budget be arranged on a basis of complete responsibility of the city to all workers of New York to replace the wages that are lost through unemployment. This is as important for those workers who are employed as it is for the unemployed. Social insurance against all forms of unemployment and disability must be taken up and fought for by the whole of the working class. It is now known that even if the N.R.A. were ac- complishing every one of its professed purposes, there would remain not less than four or five million unemployed in the United States after complete restoration of what is called pros- perity. While the capitalist system lasts, chronic mass unemployment is emand } ased upon the needs of | social service. Our ‘hool which should, in the coming ye be five million dollars above last year’s budget, al- lowing for the normal increases, has been reduced by fifteen million dol- lars—which we denounce as a plain steal of twenty million dollars from the school children of Ni York. Twelve thousand schcol teechers are unemployed, while there are enovgh teachers to supply the nceds of the children. These children are being robbed of their hot lunches and in thousands of cases are unable budget, sheer starvation.
