The government budget will figure $6,000,000,000. Of this sum $2,6000,000,000 is suppose to go for government expenses—that is, including over $600,000,000 for war purpo: Hidden away in the budget, under the cloak of public works, will be more hundreds of millions for war But the big bulk of the federal expenditures for the | ® coming year will go out in subsidies to pay railroad stock and bond dividends, to help the bankers get rid of their frozen securities and save them hundreds of | sey millions in profits, and to pay bonuses to grain specu- jators, rich farmers, gold and silver mine owners. Over $3,500,000,000 will be available for these big boys. The government becomes more and more an agency to insure profits for bankrupt corporations at the ex- pense of the toiling masses. The first big slice will go to the railroads, which have $480,000,000 in securities falling due. We can be sure that Roosevelt will lard this huge present to the finance-capitalists with demagogic with a as well as fake scheme of taxation on the higher incomes. But every penny of the colossal sums given to the bankers and the industrialists will come out of the hides of the workers, This will be assured in two main ways. First, the whole government budget will speed inflation. The result will be a smashing down of the workers’ living standard. The N. R. A. has already frozen wages to starvation levels, and Roosevelt constantly devises new schemes of inflation that hit the masses through higher prices and through higher taxes. Second, Roosevelt will institute disguised direct taxes on all workers, on the petty-bourgeoisie and pro- fessionals. His professors now are wracking their brains for some forms of sales tax, or other tax projects that will make the masses pay. During the last Congress he put over the processing | tax which the manufacturers were supposed to pay on cotton and wheat. In practice they were paid by the workers through higher bread and clothing prices. * 8 ® HERE will be more of such taxes. Besides, the government deficit is growing. It is ex- pected to reach $5,000,000. 000 on the next year’s budget alone. Roosevelt so far has concealed the huge and growing government deficit through bond issues — another form of inflation. Every scheme, every step, every act of the Roose- velt regime helps monopoly capitalism in the present crisis It does this at the direct expense of the masses. The N. R. A. is speeding trustification with its higher prices and a more powerful and oppressive grip on the life of the toiling masses. At the same time, the N. R., A. lowers living standards, sets up a powerful strike- breaking apparatus. Now the stage is set for new subsidies to the coupon clippers. This opens an immediate vista of more rapid inflation and greater taxation for the masses. The new budget will be a war budget heavily | weighted with billions in grants and subsidies for the war makers. It will throw new, crushing burdens on the harrassed workers. Sear one slag ERE is further evidence that every step taken by the capitalists to find a way out of the crisis, in the first place, puts greater burdens on the workers. In the second place, it becomes a factor for deepening the crisis bringing with it more unemployment, wage cuts and suffering for the masses. -+ The road of hunger, misery and war is the only way out provided by the capitalists. As against this way out, it is necesary to strengthen all of our agitation and propaganda to show the workers the other way— the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a workers and farmers gov- ernment as the basis for building socialism in this country, To achieve this we must increase our efforts to lead e struggles against wage cuts, unemployment, for unemployment relief, particularly in all these struggles bringing forward the need for organization and activi- around | | ties for the revolutionary way out of the crisis, Chat Mande iS, : Part of Plot Aimed at Soviet Armenia | White Guardist Party| Seeks Control of the Armenian Church | | NEW YORK.—The murder of Arch- bishop Leon Tourain Sunday before be altar of the Holy Cross Armeniari olic Church in New York, was iimination of a fierce struggle t rican bourgeois par- = control and mas: and South ‘America, | ‘The Armenian Tashnak .

By Burek Montevideo Pa rley Ends; Dodged Basic Questions MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 27. — The Seventh Pan-American Conference closed last evening with a scramble by departing delegates to sign the yarious treaties, conventions, dec- Jarations and resolutions in order to get the farce over with as soon as possible and catch the night boat to Buenos Aires. Most of the instruments were signed in blank, indicating the high regard felt by the delegates for the pointless and insane measures which represent the sum total of the vast labors of a conference which care- fully avoided most of the central problems affecting their peoples and the relations. of the various states. The work of the conference ranged from proposals for the exchange of bibliographical material, the erection of a Columbus memorial lighthouse, to “perfecting” the “peace” machin- ery by securing additional signatures to the various vague and ineffective anti-war pacts, such as the moribund Kellogg “peace” treaty. A resolution on the tariff war em- balms the princip:e of lowered bar- riers in a mess of ambigious and flowery phrases. Another resolution condemning in~ tervention by one state in the affairs of another state, and aimed directly at U. S, imperialism, had its teeth drawn by Secretary of State Hull, head of the U. 8. delegation. The resolution was presented by the Cuban and Haitian delegations, under press- ure of the mass anti-imperialist sen- timents in their countries and repre- sented, also, a manouver by British imperialists against their rival U. 8. imperialists. An example of the flowery ian- guage in which the bourgeois, states- men veiled the hypocrisy and sham of the conference is given in the farewell, address of Alberto Mane, chairman of the conference: “Pan-Americanism signifies peace, the sustainment of democracy, conservation of independence and equality of states, and the permanent co-ordination of the peoples for peace, organization and liberty, “They (the delegates) met here this month with a recondite frenzy of hope and the sweet perplexity of friendship.” U.S. ‘imperialism, which even now Pa has a ring of warships around Cuba in preparation to drown in blood the Cuban agrarian-anti-imperialist rev- olution, was referred to as a ‘messiah’ by this representative of the Uru- guayan bourgeois landlord govern- ment. Foreign News Briefs New Spy Furore in Paris PARIS, Dec. 27.—Thirty more per- sons were arrested yesterday by French secret service claiming dis- covery of an international spy ring with links in Nazi Germany. One of two Americans arrested in a previous raid told the examining magistrate he was acting in the in- terests “of his country.” Seven Overcome by Gas in Pressing Plant NEW YORK, Dec, 27.—Seven were overcome and fifty were affected by carbon monoxide in the pressing plant of \Rhinelander and Schwartz, 589 Eighth Ave. Due to faulty air cir- culation in the plant, when the win- cows were closed during a snowstorm, the machines consumed all the oxy- gen and flooded the plant with poi- soned gas. Negro Lynched. in Colombia BOGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 27.—A | Negro worker was lynched and his body horribly mutilated by rich peas- ants of the village of Vileta, 30 miles from here who resorted to American lynch terror to dispose of a militant political opponent. The Negro worker was accused of wounding a political leader of the Colombian bourgeois-landlord clique which consistently betrays the inter- ests of the toiling population to U. 8. imperialism. Soviet Workers Get Garden Plots MOSCOW, Dec. 27.—In a move to further improve the living standards Filipino Mission Aids U. S. Control WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.— Camilo Osias, Filipino Commissioner in Washington, yesterday attacked the proposals of Manuel Quezon, reform- ist leader of the Filipino Senate for a@ revision of the measure recently passed by Congress granting “inde- pendence to the Phillipines within ten years.” Osias, coming out in open support of U.S. finance interests opposed to any real independence for the Phil- lipines, demanded that Quezon accept the bill in its present form. Quezon, who is now in Washington, is ma- neuvering to rehabilitate his prestige among the Filipino masses by pre- tending a fight for real independence through the support of the big agri- cultural interests in this country which seek to bar Filipino agricul- tural products. The bill in its present form was rejected last summer by the Phillipine Legislature, under pressure. of the anti-imperialist masses. While these fake independence negotiations are going on, U. S. im- perialism, supported by the Filipino bourgeois-landiord cliques, are direct- ing a savage terror against the toil- ing masses of the islands and their revolutionary organizations. The en- tire central committee of the Filipino Communist Party is in jail, together with hundreds of revolutionary work- ers and peasants. On Feb. 4, a mass meeting will be held in the Irving Plaza Hall, New York City, to expose these conditions and elect a delegation to come to Washington to file protests with the Filipino Mission and President Roose- velt against these vicious attacks on the Filipino masses. The mass meet- ing is called by the Filipino anti- imperialist conference recently held in Brooklyn, of the Soviet workers, whose real Wages are already higher than in any other country, the Soviet government has now alloted individual gardens to 1,500,000 Soviet workers for raising vegetables. ‘The plots will range from one- quarter to one-half an acre and will be free from taxes and crop levies. ‘Huge vacant land areas will be made available for this purpose during the coming year. NANKING PLANES RESUME BOMBING OF FUKIEN CITIES Murder Equipment Furnished by the United States : SHANGHAI, Dec. 27.—The horrors of the Japanese aerial and naval bombardment of Shanghai in Jan, 1932, are being duplicated in Fukien Province cities as Nanking planes con- tinue a five-day bombardment of Foo- chow and other centers of popula- tion, Casualties during the first three days were reported as 58 killed, of whom 55 are unarmed civilians, and hundreds injured, with great damage to homes and other buildings, Since these reports leaked out, the Nanking government has clamped down a cen- sorship on the Chinese press to pre~ vent publication.of news of its atro- cities. Most of the Nanking purchased in the U. S. tnfalids prec pro- vided the Nanking regime through the American cotton loan. They are manned by pilots trained in the U. S. or by American experts furnished by the U. S. government to the Nan- king murder regime. They are us- ing bombs recently received from the U. S. and intended for use against the emancipated workers and peasants in the Chinese Soviet Republic. ‘The new Generals’ War, which has the effect of slowing down the Sixth Nanking crusade against the Chinese Soviets, was spreading yesterday as Chahar Province militarists defied the Nanking regime, and attacked a Nan- king force under Gen. Chin Teh-chun, The Chahar war lords are supported by the militarists of Kansu and other north-eastern provinces. Canton dispatches tell of increasing tension in Kwangtung and Kwengsi Provinces, with prospects of the civil war spreading still further, The South China ment is supported by the British sme im- perialists in an intensified: movement for the dismemberment of China, while Japanese forces which recently invaded Chahar Province are reported maintaining their position in Hsifen- chai and other districts.on the pret- text that the captured territory right- fully belongs to the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Imperialist war- ships are present in great force in Foochow and other Fukien Province seaports, Meantime, the mass anti-imperial- ist, anti-Kuomintang upsurge is ‘ra~ pidly swelling. Anti-Kuomintang ac- tivities of workers and peasants be- hind the Nanking lines in Chekiang Province have forced a geen of Nanking troops from the Fuan districts, enabling the Chinese Red Army to take over those districts, Nazi Proposals Are Rejected By France Paris Perfecting War Alliances PARIS, Dec. 27.—Hitler’s foreign policy suffered another defeat to- day, when the French Cabinet de- cided definitely to reject the. latest Nazi maneuver. for arms equality in exchange for Nazi professions of Peaceful intentions toward France and active support for the anti- Soviet front, Distrust of Nasi aims toward France and its vassal states motivated the rejection. The French imperialists continued to perfect their system of alliances by pushing plans for the conference to be held im Paris with heads of the Little Entente states and Poland. ‘The conferer.ce will be held shortly after Jan. 8, when the Little Entente conference at.

There is no doubt that at that time the position of the Soviet Union was no easy one. Its inner and outer dif- ficulties were fully taken advantage yof by the social democracy.

All in all, the Soviet Union has achieved a number of big successes. And what do the Mensheviki and their companions, the parties of the Second International, say to this? They have the whole time carried on just such a savage incitement as for- merly, among the gems of which is the above quotation from the article by Rosenfeld, the foreign editor of the “Populaire.” It should be re- marked in passing that, in addition to his “political criticism,” he directly slanders Comrade Litv: ov, who, as is known, did not seek connections with the leaders of Italian, Austrian and German fascism, but was invited by Mussolini to take up negotiations, but didnot pay a visit either in Vienna or Berlin on his return journey, “What does it matter if a fellow like me utters a small calumny?” thinks M, Rosenfeld. The fact re-| mains that a Soviet diplomat has paid a visit to Mussolini. The fact that this journey could be of benefit even from the standpoint of avoiding bloodshed in the Far East, is for him no argument. “The threat of a Russo- Japanese conflict does not justify it,” declares Rosenfeld emphatically, Pre- cisely for this reason it is also a mat- ter of indifference to him what power possesses the territory bordering on the Caucasian oilfields, this impor- tant factor in socialist construction. He then throws a handful of mud at Comrade Voroshilov, who went to Angora to attend the tenth anniver- sary celebrations of the Turkish Re~ public, Engels, as {s known, coined a word for compromise, which he also em- | Hast. ployed on occasions. “You should re- ceive gifts at the end of a rapier, point against point.” Now Comrade Voroshiloy went to Turkey, accom- panied by Comrade Budjonny, as a member of the Red Army. He literally accepted gifts with the bayonet points of the Red Army, According to Ros- enfeld, not. Marx and Engels, not Litvinoy and Voroshilov are author- itative politiclans who enter into compromises in order to serve the revolution, but—Vandervelde _ and Wels. Vanderyelde, the ally of Tsar Nicholas I, Vandervelde, who signed the Versailles Treaty and thereby be- came Hitler's chief abettor; Vander- velde, who paid visits to the leading Japanese imperialists, to the leaders of. the counter-revolutionary Kuo- mintang, who stirred up incitement against the Soviet Union ‘in the Far And.
