Goering—do} inmate of an insane asy- jum, gory with the blood of German workers, right- hand man of Hitler, “strong man” of the fascist re- gime, master of Nazi Germany, defender of German ¢apitalism. Facing Goering stood George Dimiiroff, undaunted, with flery pa flinging back at him the challenge of the working class vanguard of the world. Standing in the shadow of the gallows, the heroic Communist faced the representative of the supreme power of the capitalist state, the man v#o would order | him hanged then and there if he dared—and from this clash of the representatives of two worlds, the Com~- munist came out victorious. The judge had to order the heroic Communist dragged from the court to save the master of Prussia, whom Dimitroff had reduced to impotent, blustering rage, reduced to raving threats and unspeakable vitu- perations. hd bd * HORGE DIMITROFF, defending himself, and with ¢ himself defending before the world the working class he represents, brings into glaring relief the abyss of contrast between the working class and its brutal, degenerate oppressors. ‘As the raving maniac Goering spews out his vitu- perations and slanders against the Communist Party, Dimitroff flings into his teeth the glorious achleve- ments of the Soviet Union, where, under the leader- ship of the Communist Party the working class has built up the omly free and developing country in the world. . ® FORGE DIMITROFF is the type of working class leader through whose heroic struggles the Diack | world of the Goerings will soon be wiped out. George Dimitroff is one of those thousands of rien of the working class who make up the heroic basis of our party, heroic men whom no other party cam produce, men whose indomitable spirit guarantees | the victory of the working class. Goering has proclaimed the revenge he holds in store NOt only for Dimitroff, but for all the Commu- nist leaders he holds in his clutches. Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German Commu- nist Party; Ernst Torgler, Dimitroff, Blagoi Popoff, Vassil Taneff, and hundreds of other working class leaders lying im the Nazi dungeons—for these men Goering reserves the gallows and the axe, ‘The American working class cannot remain calm ‘4m the face of this challenge. Already the protests of the workers throughout the world have forced a public trial of the four Reichstag defendants, have forced Goering to take the stand to defend himself. ‘The working class can do far more. The working class can free Thaelmann, Torgler, Dimitroff, Popoft, Taneff, and the thousands of their comrades. But it can only do so if its voice of protest is Id. It can only do so by raising ® thunderous voice beside which all previous protests been a whisper. ers, intellectuals, students, all honest epponents of fascism, flood the German embassy and consulates with telegrams and letters of protest, crowd their halls with delegations of protest, arouse the broadest masses to raise & thunderous cry of indig- ation. Only thus can we hope to save these heroic German eomrades. Promises and Hunger HAT has happened to the rosy promises and pre- dictions of President Roosevelt regarding the end of unemployment. Roosevelt, in his recent radio speech, stated that the N.R.A. promise to end unemployment ‘was being fulfilled, and that 40 per cent of the unem- ployment has been ended, that four million have already been put back to work. William Green, of the A. ¥. of L., reported millions re-hired. The Roosevelt government said the appropriations for the Army and Navy building alone from the public works appro- priations would re-hire hundreds of thousands, that the total public works program for “recovery” would tun into millions employed. . ‘The true facts cannot longer be hidden by the Roosevelt propaganda machine. The entire public works program hes re-hired not more than 50,000, many of them at temporary work. In the navy yards ho more than 5,000 to 10,000 were hired. President Roosetelt’s Public Works Program, like all of Roosevelt's promises, extravagdhtly worded and promising everything, bofls down to huge appropria- tions for the armed forves and to donations and “loans” of huge sums to the biggest corporations, from Works Administration to the Pennsylvania Railroad to complete electrification of the railroad. Much of that “50,000,000 man hours of. employment provided,” that 18,000 will be given work.

The demonstrations for relief and unemployment insurance in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and parts of Detroit and New York City and elsewhere point the way.

Rural Class Ww ar Tt latest news from the vast farm districts of the West brings to the forefront the overwhelming necessity for throwing the greatest energy within the next ten days into the preparations for the historic Second National Farm Conference to be held at Chicago Nov. 15-18. The rural class war has broken out and is spread- ing with extraordinary speed and intensity through~ out the whole vast farm belt of the West, sweeping over all the attempts of the misleaders, the Milo Renos, the State governors, etc., to prevent it. Despite the treacherous “no picket” order of the Holiday Association leaders, in 21 States, the farmers are taking to the roads, in fighting mass picketing against the scab deliveries of milk and grains. It is against the Roosevelt program that the farm- ers are literally up in arms Last spring, Milo Reno, the cunning misleader who is now trying desperately to keep the farmers from winning their strike by forbiddin~ t : the farm strike on the ground that the farmers “ought to give Roosevelt a chance.” Today the poor and middle farmers are awakening to the true meaning of the Roosevelt N.R.A. program. They have learned that it means the destruction of their acreage—that it means the choking of their markets by reducing the purchasing power of the elty masses—that it means the protection of thes monopoly profits of the milk companies and grain distributors—that the Roosevelt inflation means profits only to the Wall Street and Chicago speculators. Above all they have learned that the Roosevelt in- flation has caused s deep slash in their real income by sending up the prices of manufactured goods twice as fast as the price of farm goods. They have learned that the Roosevelt mortgage “re-financing” program has only succeeded in trans- ferring their intolerable mortgage burdens from one master to another—from the private banks to the government banks, and that the weight of the rob- atin ¢ ae bery mortgage debts still crushes the small and | tuined middle farmers more than ever. a ee THE present farm upsurge is, however, not a homo- geneous movement. Among the farmers themselves there are the sharpest class differences between the poor and ruind middie farmers against the rich farm- ers. Despite the fact that the agrarian crisis strikes them too, they have been the least hurt by the Roosevelt farm program. They alone have been the beneficiaries of the Roosevelt farm subsidies, etc. ‘That is way the success of the farm strike depends on wresting the leadership from their hands into the hands of the poor farmers and the agricultural wage workers allied with the middle farmers. The Chicago Conference will consider this as one of its funda~ mental tasks—-to carry the class war into the coun- tryside. Ambridge and the U.S.S.R.| 'MBOLDENED by the steel trust’s bridge, Pa., steel strikers, the Ukrainian fascist organizations, led by Black Hundred forces of the local Greek Catholic Church, arranged a demonstration against recognition of the Soviet Union Sunday, Oct. 29. Steel trust gunmen who forbade picketing and strikers’ mass meetings welcomed this movement of vituperation against the workers’ fatherland. But they reckoned without their host. They over- looked the fact that the brutal slaughter and terror that smashed the steel strike did not smash the mili- tancy of the steel workers. When these heroic steel workers, whose bravery in the face of the armed mobilization of the steel trust is enshrined in the heart of every militant American worker, learned of this anti-Soviet demonstration they decided to prevent it. * massacre of Am- ‘ « Placards hidden under their coats, hundreds of them fell into the parade, and when it started held aloft their slogans of solidarity with the Soviet Union. They made short shrift of the Fascist Anti- Soviet parade. Instead, the Ambridge steel workers turned the demonstration into an action for Soviet recongition. Many of the steel workers, bearing wounds of the recent struggle, faced anew the terror of the steel trust gunmen to voice their solidarity with the work- ers in the USSR. ‘These workers who felt the crushing attack of the N.R.A. and paid for it with their blood, who lived through all the mockery of Roosevelt's demagogic promises of higher wages and the right to organize, demonstrated against the capitalist way out of the crisis and for the revolutionary way, exemplified by the successful achievements of the Union of Soctalist Soviet. Republics. Coming on the eve of the sixteenth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, this greeting to the workers in the Soviet Union from Ambridge will evoke the | greatest joy. DANY AS opie three weeks ago the steel trust gunmen, armed with every modérn portable death-dealing instru- ment, sought to crush out every spark of militancy of these steel workers. The Ambridge strikers saw their brothers shot to death or wounded by gunfire. They were driven to work at the muzzles of machine guns. ‘They were terrorized and threatened with death in their homes. Yet they reform their ranks for a courageous action to throw into the teeth of the steel trust gunmen and all their forces of oppression and darkness their un- daunted courage and their undying solidarity with the victorious proletariat in the Soviet Union. ‘The Ambridge steel workers, whose strike mifl- tancy was an inspiring example to all workers and anathema to the steel trust, now exhibit their high political consciousness, their deep understanding of the revolutionary importance of the Russian revolution. It demonstrates in action that the Ambridge steel work- ers are learning to know that the Soviet road 1s the only way out of the misery, starvation and terror of the steel trust and its government, ‘The audacity of these workers in the face of the steel trust’s fascist terror which still rules in Ambridge, their exemplary demonstration of international revo- tionary solidarity, should stir the deepest enthusiasm in all workers. From the stalwart hearts of these workers, sur- rounded by the murderers of their brothers, in the very citadel of N.R.A. reaction, came the cry that is resounding ever louder: Long Live the Soviet Union! Long Live the World Revolution! government, US.

An amendment to include the addition of # phrase “including class war,” proposed by a fraternity delegate, was | voted down by an overwhelming | majority. As a mearis of putting the propo- sals adopted on a basis of concrete action, the conference established | corsnittees in each academic depart- ment and voted to make “definitely impossible the utilization of tech- nical resources of that field for war ; purposes.” The conference further pledged itself to get every professor and student to pledge their non-co- operation with the war office “in any of these ways in which they | might be useful in case of war.” One of the major tasks decided was “the spreading of the student anti-war movement to other colleges.” The attempts of Professor James T. Shotwell, Roosevelt’s “brain trust,” to split the conference was defeated. His criticism of the final resolutions as “an immature, ill-considered and not sufficiently studied attempt” and his proposal that the World Court be considered “the most obvious instru- ment for anti-war activities in the world today” was not adopted. Besides the adoption of the pacifist resolution against “all forms of war,” | Several other serious criticisms can | be justly made. The conference made |no mention of tie U. S. Congress Against War, the greatest united front anti-war conference ever held in this country. No mention, also, was made of the consistent peace policy of Soviet Russia as opposed to the frantic military preparstions car- ried on by all the capitalistic nations.

Chiefs Praise Fusion Nominee at Election Rally (Continued from Page 1) and Thaelman?” shouted a group of workers w-i: the oily Waldman read a resolution on German fascism. No answer was given to these worl- ers. Not a whisper was uttered about the heroic and audacious exposure of the Nazi slaughters made by the Communist defendants in the Reich- stag trial. ‘The resolution adopted, worded so it is fully acceptable to the Tam- many henchman, Untermyer, ap- peals to the Roosevelt regime, whose growing fascist attacks against the American workers increases every day, to be the spearhead in the at- tack against its friends in Germany, the Hitlerites. It exhorts the slaugh- terers of the American workers “to take vigorous action against the per- nicious activities in this country by Hitler’s hirelings and tools.” ‘The chief speakers had the zreat- est difficulty in distinguishing even for this Socialist audience the dif- ference between the Socialist pro- gram and that of the capitalist par- ties, particularly the Fusion Party, headed by LaGuardia. The Socialist candidate for City Comptroller, Harry W. Laidler, promised the rich tax- payers that they could find no one “better equipped to act as a faithful watchdog of the treasury.” He claimed he was best qualified to per- form this task—for the bankers and exploiters, of course.

Thomas had two speeches up his sleeve, one an advance release for the Pitalist press, and another he was | irked into delivering when he realized | the apathy of his audience. “T am crying out against you who are so confused,” spouted Thomas |who had recently returned from a national tour and deplored the clum- siness of the Socialists in becoming so completely inextricable in the eyes of the workers from the capitalist parties. Then he proceeded to an apprecia- ve estimate of LaGuardia, “I feel sorry for Major LaGuardia” he said, “He keeps such bad company. He learned much from the Socialists. LaGuardia is a plus, but his running mate, Cunningham is a minus. I tried to save LaGuardia.” His publicity speech, the one the capitalist press are expected to co- operate in quoting from, talked about worsening depression, It accepted Roosevelt's lying figures of only 10,000,009 unemployed, defending, at the same time, the N.

R. A. Frank Crosswaith, Negro, candidate for President of the Board of Alder- man, studiedly avoided mentioning the lynch spirit against Negroes being developed in New York City, recent lynchings of Negroes in the South and the legal lynching of Euel Lee. Not a word did he utter about the Scottsboro case, nor make any appeal in behalf of the Negroes for social Omaha Jobless Present Demands for Improved Treatment by Charities OMAHA, Neb.—Led by William L. Dixon, secretary of the Cass St. Un- employed Council, a delegation of jobless workers have presented de- mands for improvement of the in- human treatment by the Salvation Army of hundreds of jobless men. The delegation, which called on Mayor Towl with its demands, re- vealed that there are over 600 men being housed at the Salvation Army shelter. The quarters are over- crowded, the beds are filthy, the food is bad and inadequate, the general condition of the quarters are so bad that many men are contracting sick- ness and disease, which spreads very easily in the crowded quarters, ac- cording to the committee. The Mayor and the Depart-nent of Wel- fare Commissioner, who was also present, declared that they had noth- ing to do with this, because the Sal- vation Army relies upon donations! from the public. This declaration was made by the Mayor despite newspaper reports that the Salvation Army ‘receives public funds from the community chest which has been given Federal monies. Roosevelt Refuses To Cut British Debt Fin al Conference Fails; Briton Goes Home ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—The final | effort of the British delegation to negotiate a reduction in Great Bri- tain’s $4,300,000,000 debt to the United States, of which $85,000,000 is due Dec. 15, collapsed completely on Sat- urday. Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambas- sador, and Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, special negotiator from London, left their last conference with President Roosevelt, completely defeated. Ross will return to London. Although no official statement will be forthcoming until early in the week, it is clear that Roosevelt flatly Tejected every proposal to accept a formal reduction of the debt, which everyone knows Great Britain never expects to pay. Roosevelt retains the debt as a club over Great Britein in his maneuvers to foree the British to reduce their expenditures for ar- maments. It is expected that the British will ogain make a “token” payment of a few millions, acknowledging the debt installment without paying ‘ off, in preference to the great loss of pres- tige which would follow a formal de- fault, Steel ‘Men Strike in Sympathy With New Haven Workers BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Nov. 2. — The thelders of the Eastern Malleable Iron Co. of Connecticut, who won a successful strike for higher wages last summer, led by the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union ot Bridgeport, demonstrated their solid- arity with the striking foundry work- ers of Now Haven today by refusing to work on a casting job which the Bridgeport workers suspected came from the New Haven foundry com- pany, which is on strike ‘The officials of the Bridgeport company retaliated for the militant action of its workers by threatening to discharge the members of the Shop Committee, but the molders who are strongly organized into the and political equality.

Goering denied that they had. Dimitroff then de- manded to know why he had ae- serted on the night of the fire that Torgler and the Communist Party were guilty. Goering replied he has not concerned himself much about the trial, that he has his policy and is confident that the officials had evidence of such statements. Dimi~- troff questioned him about the state- ment that 2 Communist Party card had been found’ in van der Lubbe’s pocket and pointed out that the de- tectives now state unanimously that no Communist Party ticket had been found on van der Lubbe, and that Goering was responsible for letting his police issue a false statement. Has Goering inguired of Police in Hen- ningsdorf where van der Lubbe stayed overnight on Feb, 26, Dimitroff de- manded. Goering replied that detec- tives have followed all clues in this case and found the right clue imme- diately as only the possible criminals are the Communists. Dimitroff here asked “Does Goe~ ring know that the ‘criminal’ Come munist Party he speaks of leads in one-sixth of the’ world, Soviet Union, the greatest and best country in the world?” Goering, turned scarlet with rage, and shouted, “t is unheatd of that such criminals, such rascals dare such impudence here, You'will experience something ..on leaving here. Such scoundrels belong on the gallows.” 250 Radio Workers Walk Out 2nd Time NEW YORK—Over 250 young workers of the Cornell Dubilier Con< denser Corp. came out on strike Fri- day, in protest against. low wages, bad conditions and discrimination. A short-time previous they struck, demanding an increase in pay from 20 to 40 cents an hour. However, the A. F. of L. leadership of that strike and the N.R.A. succeeded in getting the men back to work at a compro~ mise rate of 32 cents. The A.

The strike demands now include @ minimum of 50 cents an hour, no lay-offs, division of work and rece ognition of their union. The Radio.
