CAMPAIGN made against the steel trust ter- ror, for unemployment relief, for workers’ rights, and against the N.R.A. On election day, the polls were manned by the same inmen who shot the workers down. Every effort was made to terrorize the workers. Yet out of a total vote cast of 3,818, Wimbur polled 368. How many votes for Wimbur were destroyed by the steel trust gunmen who did not hesitate to kill strikers can never be known. Though this vote appears small, it has great sig- nce. It shows in Ambridge that the strike re- d in the rapid political maturing of the steel ers. It shows that the workers have not been disheartened and know how to keep up the fight. Above all, it demonstrates that the workers of Am- bridge more than ever are determined to carry on | their fight not only for the right of union organiza - | tion and for better conditions but against the political tools and instruments of the steel trust. The Ambridge election shows above all that the Communist Party can and must become a mass Party in Ambridge. The task now is to enlist these hun- dreds of workers who not only fought on the picket lines but faced the gunmen at the polls to vote for a workers candidate in the Communist Party as the | best guarantee that the struggle will be continued to victory. Tears and Bayonets ‘HE working class has discovered through the bitter lessons of history that the smiling countenance of political “liberalism” conceals the hate of Fascist reac- tion. It would be hard to find a more candid confession of this than the editorial which appears in this week’s “Nation” under the signature of its leading writer, Oswald Garrison Villard. Mr, Villard writes an imaginary letter to the strik- ing farmers of the West, a letter which he would | send to the farmers if he were President of the United | States. After some paragraphs of quite characteristic “Nation” blarney and sanctimonious sympathy for the “terrifying” situation of the farmers, Mr. Villard then lets go his real bolt, in these words: “You have the right to refuse to sell if you | please, but when you try by force to keep others from selling and prevent the children of our cities and their parents from getting food, you are taking an unsocial step which it is my sworn duty to resist if I have to call out every regular soldier and every national guardsman in the country.” So behind Mr. Villard’s so enlightened “liberal- ism,” his nauseating pretense of friendliness to the impoverished and suffering farmers, glitters the sharp steel of bayonets, the muazles of machine guns, the naked ruling class dictatorship of military suppres- sion! The impoverished and ruined farmers are fighting against the merciless exploitation and robberies of the Wall Street grain and milk monopolies. They are fighting against the Wall Street finance masters who are driving them off the land into the hell of pauper- ism through mortgage foreclosures. They are fighting for their homes and their farms against the devouring rapacity of the Wall Street capitalist rulers who trample on the impoverished farmers and the city pro- letariat alike. And all that Mr. Villard, the smiling friend of the farmers, the saintly knight of “Nation” liberal- ism can offer them is the bayonets of Wall Street troops! He sheds tears over the “children of our cities.” These are disgusting tears of hypocrisy. Does not Mr. Villard know that these children of the cities are starving for lack of milk precisely because the Wall Street monopolies keep it from them by extortionate monopoly prices? If Mr. Vlilard is so interested in the milk of the city children, why doesn’t he cali out his beloved and trusty troops against those Wall Street monopolies, against Borden, against National Dairy, against Shef- field, etc., ete, who doom millions of city children to starvation because of extortionate milk prices? If he is so interested in the food of the children’s parents, why doesn’t he call out the froops against the | Roosevelt government, which, in its capitalist insanity and ruthlessness is raging through the cotton, wheat | and corn fields, destroying with fire the produce that the impoverished masses need? Mr. Villard’s tears on account of the farmers are cheap indeed. For while he weeps, he points a bayonet at those for whom he sorrows, Mr. Villard’s liberalism cannot hide his concern over perpetuating the mortgage debt slavery that binds the impoverished farmers to their Wall Street rulers. He cannot conceal his anxiety over the profits of the big milk monopolies, in which, no doubt, he has a few judicious investments. Daily Worker Tag Days eae this Friday, thousands of class-conscious American workers will march into the factories, workers’ homes, into the streets to rally the masses of workers to the support of our only American Bol- shevik daily newspaper, the Daily Worker, This campaign is not merely a fund-raising event. Unlike fund-drives by community chests, charity fed- erations, it does not rely for its success upon bullying or the dictates of the bosses to their employes to “give until it hurts.’ It is an educational campaign to bring the atten- tion of the workers to the urgent need of our “Daily” for their support so that it can continue fighting with them in their struggles for relief from the in- creasing iawt?ships imposed on them by the boss class and its tools, Will you be among the heroic workers who will wage a three-day battle this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to rally the masses to the defense of our Daily Worker? Will you be among those who will fight for the continued existence of our “Daily,” to give it the financial sinews for striking crushing blows against the entire capitalist system?

The Socialist Party, which has three ministers in the present “left” republican government and has paved the way for the fascist reaction, suffered a sweeping repudi- ation at the polls, electing only 29 deputies, as against 110 deputies in the present Cortes. Incomplete returns indicate the election of three Communist candi- dates. The Spanish Communist Party previously had no deputies in the Cortes. Re-elections involving some 190 seats are to be held in several dis- tricts where none of the parties re- ceived the required 40 per cent of the votes, State Dep’t Sets Up Comm. As Weapon in World Trade War To Enable American Imperialism to Strike Enemies Quickly (Daily Worker Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22.— Another weapon in the world trade war was forged today by the Roose- velt administration. The Department of State announced the formation of an Executive Commercial Policy Com- mittee whose business will be “co- ordinating the commercial policy of this government, with the view to centralizing in the hands of one agency supervision of all government action affecting our import and ex- port trade.” The committee was set up “by au- thority of the President,” it was an- nounced. Headed by William Phillips, Acting Secretary of State, it includes spokesmen for the N.R.A., the treas- ury, commerce and agriculture de- partments, the tariff commission, and the Agricultural Adjustment Admin- istration, Observers quickly saw this move as @ means whereby the government can act swiftly and decisvely—through manipulating tariffs, placing em- bargoes, and shifting powerful credit channels—to execute imperialist de- signs against other nations. General Hugh §. Johnson, N.R.A. administrator, was asked whether this agency would enable the United States “to strike much more quickly in trade wars.” “I can’t answer that,” Johnson re- plied. He pointed out that the authority to place embargoes, manipulate tar~- participating in the program as well as the Proletbuehne and the Work- ers Laboratory Theatre in anti-fascist skits.

Because of this mass pressure Vilar was released at 1 a, m. today. The government showed its peace- ful intentions yesterday when it signed an order for the purchase of 1,500,000 hand grenades from France. It should be remembered that these grenades are most effective in street fighting. Immediately after the raid on the Tobacco Workers’ Center, police, soldiers and uniformed students of the Directorio Estudiantil (Student’s Directory) and the “Law and Order Army,” a student military organi- zation, raided the home of Vilar completely destroying the furniture and clothing and burning all docu- ments found. His wife and two little children were forced to escape over the roofs. One child was hurt. Women Jailed. Yesterday a commission of work- ing women including Mrs. Villar went to the secretary of state to protest and were arrested at once. Towards evening with the flood of protests not letting up, President Grau and Guiteras, and chief of staff Batista, declared that the whole thing was an error and that they did not favor such a raid against the workers. Their prevarication is evident, since Sergeant Chamuzo, who led the raiding party, declared that he did it at the order of the Secretary of State. Loret de Mola representative of the Department of Labor declared yes- terday that he did not take part in the raid, although he was seen there by many workers and spoke against the Communists. The immediate result of the raid is the consolidation of the Confedera- tion and a weakening of the organi- zations controlled by its enemies, Reformisis Fail. The Alianza Tebacalera, controlled by reformist tobacco leaders, who tried to organize a lockout against the revolutionary unions, has miser- ably failed, and the tobacco workers are rallying as never before around the standards of the Confederation, Aided by agitation caused by the attack of the government and the rallying of the working cless for in solidarity with the Confeder: and its leaders, the Anti-Imner League called a conference Jast nirht to arrange the welcome to the ae ican workers and intellectuels’ gation. and in ill be on hand to meet it when | it “arrives.

The charges against each marched were, “parading without a permit” and “disorderly conduct.” The marchers turned the court room into a forum, each stoutly at- tacking Hitler's fascism.’ John J.
