This postponement must mean no slackening in the campaign, but on the contrary, & speeding up and intensification all along the line of the convention preparations. Every member of the Communist Party, and of all workers organizations, should through their work fm the next three weeks, give a guarantee that the convention on Feb. 3, in Washnigton, shall represent the broadest possible masses of the unemployed and part time workers. ‘The three weeks’ postponement gives an opportunity %© intensify the campaign for the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill. ‘The mass pressure of the workers has forced the Farmer Labor Party legislators | te introduce this week, the Workers Unemployment | Insurance Bill into the Minnesota state legislature. Especially now, is this campaign tmportant, just be- | fore the opening of Congress, when President Roose- elt, Senator Wagner and others are preparing to introduce “job insurance” bills into Congress which | sidetrack real unemployment insurance. The com- ing three weeks should be utilized to the fulest ex- | tent to force action on city and state legislative bodies similar to that forced on the Minnesota legislators. There should be a widespread agitation regarding all features of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, which is the only bill guaranteeing a minimum in- surance to all unemployed, with finds obtained from the rich and the government and administered by the workers. ° se national Unemployed Convention will hare the task of taking up the demands of the ©. W. A. workers, of exposing the program of dis- crimination, relief cuts, amd cheap Isbor em- bodied im Roosevelt's C. W. A. program. The fight for the demands of the C. W. A. workers and the organization of the C. W. A. workers into job committees and into s union will occupy a key position in the deliberations and decisions pt the national convention. The struggles of the umemployed against evic- ‘ions, for adequate <eMef and clothes and other im- | mediate needs in all localities should be pushed for- ward with greater speed as part of the preparations for the national convention. This means also build- | img up the unemployed councils in the neighborhoods andi on a city and county scale. The convention cannot take place without funds. ‘The campaign to finance the national convention should be the concern of the party members. The campaign for the convention will have the task of building the unity of the workers in the fight for relief and insurance; of building the convention on a broad mass base; of developing local struggles | in all cities; of building the strongest unemployed or- | fauizations, and of forcing the national as well as jocal governments to grant more unemployment re- Wief and the passage of the Workers Unemployment Tnsurance Bill | himself is one of the DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1933 strike, and begin to move toward setting up their own | Workers and Farmers government, then that is the “failure of orderly processes,” and American gun- boats begin to move toward Havana, Thus, Roosevelt's non-intervention promise turns ont to be the same old imperialist policy of policing the South American semi-colonies of Wall Street im protecting Wai Street invest~ mente, OOSEVELT pretends that he is forced to arm be- cause the other nations have refused to accept his disarmament proposals, This is a typical Roosevelt fraud. Roosevelt's disarmament proposals are merely demands that certain types of practically obsolete war material be scrapped, in order to make way for more modern types. Roosevelt's delegates at the European Disarmament Conferences have al- ways refused to agree to the slightest redaction im airplane bombers, in submarines, in certain types of machine guns, etc., all necessary for modern warfare. When the Soviet Union delegate, Litvinoff, pro- posed at the recent Geneva ence, that all weapons be immediately destroyed by common rrified, Nothing could better reveal the hypocrisy the Roosevelt disarmament talk. The war danger grows. The imperialist struggles between Britain and Wall Street sharpen. Japan, encouraged by Britain and France, armed by the U. S&S. moves toward Soviet intervention. Hitler, aided by Britain, arms feverishly for war, for colonies, for intervention, Italy and France struggle for African colonial expansion. Above all, it is Roosevelt who drives outward for markets, for Wall Street Imperialism. That explains his official peace talk OOSEVELT takes Wilson as his teacher. This is a grim and sinister portent for the American masses. For it was Wilson who in 1917 spouted his most fervent peace talk at the very moment that the whole American capitalist class was gearing its armed forces and industry for the imperialist war into which Wilson plunged us only a few months later! The American masses, for whom the Wall Street imperialists are preparing all the horrors and suf- fering of war, must fling all energies into blocking the war moves of the Roosevelt government. Green’s Boycott Swindle PPARENTLY approving a boycott of German goods to bring pressure on Hitler to allow the existance A | of trade unions and stop the persecution of the Jews, | William Green, president of the A. F. of L. perpetrates | one of his crudest swindles. First of all, William Green, does not want the workers in the United States to mobilize a real united front to fight not only against murderous fas- cism in Germany, but against the rapidly develop- ing fascist attacks in this country. William Green instruments through which American capitalism, by its strikebreaking, war and lynch policies, increases the fascist attacks ez?inst the American workers. In his deceptive boycott statement, Green is very careful not to attack German fascism or to overstep the bounds of the trade and profit interests of the | American bosses. After giving the reasons for the boycott, Green declares: “Labor is therefore not fighting against any poli- tical order or set-up in Germany.” In short, Green does not want a fight against Hitler fascism in Germany. Green, in fact, has repeatedly and on every ac- casion shown himself to be the bitterest opponent of fascism’s chief enemies—the Communists. o # e 8 BOVE all, William Green does not want the fight against fascism to develop into a revolutionary ‘overthrow of capitalism, which in this period rapidly develops into the fascist dictatorship. Throughout the whole Reichstag fire frame-up, | when the whole world was startled and the revolu- An Apt War Pupil DROW WILSON was a teacher,” declared Roosévelt yesterday, fervently commemorating | the 77th anniversary of the birth of that man whose mame has become a symbol of hypocritical idealism and broken promises, of the plunge into the imperial- ist war carnage of 1917. There is historic justice in the Rooseveltian ad- indration and discipleship of the war President Wilson. For Roosevelt, just as truly as Wilson, is above all, @ capitalist war President, an organizer and preparer | for the coming imperialist world slaughter. Roosevelt tekes Wilson for his teacher. apt pupil. It is precisely because he is the director of the | most enormous preparations for war in the history of this country that Roosevelt is, also, the most seemingly fervent lover of peace. «The present peace talk of Roosevelt is part and »arcel of his war preparations. It is the moral smoke- eveen for the ceaseless construction of the most #gantic war machine in the world. What can the American working class think of Roosevelt's peace talk, when he has just spent over one billion dollars for war in the space of six months, setting an all-time record for war expenditures? They recognize it as the official pacifism which is the fore- runner of war. Roosevelt talks peace, but in the coming weeks at the next session of Congress, he will sign fhext year’s Army and Navy budget which will grant an- other $600,000,000 for war building. Roosevelt’s peace talk is hypocrisy, equal to the historic hypocrisy of his teacher, who was elected on a “he kept us out of war platform” only to send hundreds of thousands of young American workers to the imperialist battlefieRis. . He is an . 6 OOBEVELT yesterday came before the American workers and the oppressed toflers of the world with 4 promise that: armed intervention .. .” But Roosevelt's warships mow have their guns pointed right toward that city ss they rest in the favana harbor. Roosevelt's warships are right st this moment iting their murderous guns at the Chinese cities | Villages, at the advancing Red Armies along the inese Yangtse River, “ Why does not Roosevelt withdraw these warships from these countries? Because his non-intervention talk is typical Wilsonian hypocrisy, with an added ‘Rooseveltian touch of cufning. No more intervention, promises Roosevelt, until . . . til it is necessary to intervene to protest Wall %t profits. He himself said so yesterday in the words: “It is only when and if the failure of orderly affects the other nations of the con- that it becomes their concern . . .” is the same old imperialist excuse for armed ntion—the “failure of orderly processes.” What these “orderly processes?” They are capitalist tion of Wall Street investments. When the ‘s and peasants of Cuba, for axample, begin the sugar plantations for themselves, and to work for starvation wages, go on a general re | | tionary workers inspired by the heroic and brilliant attacks made on fascism by the Communist Dimitroff, William Green was silent, aiding the Nazi plans for the slaughter of these courageous fighters against fascism. Only now, when the pressure of the rank and file becomes great, does Green come out with a state- ment on boycott. And then his boycott appeal be- comes a lightning rod to stop a real fight against German fascism, and particularly a fight against growing fascism in this country. Even on the question of the boycott, Green in- structs the locals and international unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. to consult the capitalists in their territory first, and suit the boycott to the needs of the exploiters. “I suggest,” be writes, as a final instruction and warning, “that committees be appointed to deal with the problem in accordance with the economic, social and business requirements of each community.” ae aah Rape IMAGINE the swindle of this vaunted boycott! The workers are to consult their local enemies first as to how they shall fight against Hitler’s murder regime. If the profits of the bankers and business men require a stoppage of the boycott, Green be- forehand demands that this shall be the decisive factor. How accurately does this deception and swindle of Green fit into the policies of the Social Demo- crats in Europe who hide their failure to permit a united front of all workers for a real, revolutionary fight against fascism in all countries. Nor does Green inveigh in the slightest against the wholesale import and dissemination of Fascist pamphlets and other propaganda by A. F. of L. lead- ers like Matthew Woll and others. “The revoluttonary workers must see clearly,” wrote Bela Kun, member of the Presidium of the Execu- tive Committee of the Communist International re- cently, “that the merchandise boycott of German fascism is a deception if isolated from the general anti-fascist struggle, if conducted without a trans- portation boycott.” Did Green instruct the transportation unions to Prepare actions to stop the transport of goods coming from Fascist Germany? Not at all. This would require action by the workers themselves. It would | lead to bitter struggles against American capitalists. pier Cur tan | r American workers more and more are entering into # struggle against German fascism. But this fight, to be successful, first of all must be directed against the fascist measures taken by the Roosevelt regime to crush the workers’ rights right here in this country. Green wants none of this. He himself is one of the foremost figures in this fascist drive of Amer- ican capitalism. He seeks now to cover his own fas- dist role by his scandalous swindle on an empty and meaningless boycott of German goods, It is our duty to fight against and develop to the widest extent the fight against German fascism and for real united front actions of the American workers, In all A. F. of L. locals we ‘should agitate for the formation of united front committees to be set up for effective action to stop the import and trans- portation of German goods, for ection against Hit- ler's terror, and to fight for the safe release of itroff, Torgler, Taneff and Popofi.

A. FL. Locals To Send Delegates to FSU. Convention NEW YORK-—Several locals of the American Federation of Labor have endorsed the call for the first na- tional convention of the Friends of the Soviet Union and are electing delegates, it was announced yester- day. The convention which will be held in New York on January 26, 27, and 28, will have a broad representation from workers’ and other groups throughout the country, sympathetic to the Soviet Union. Over 50,000 in- vitations have been sent to such groups, it is stated, An exhibition of the victories of Socialist construction in the Soviet Union is being prepared for the first showing at this convention, covering | tung, Kwangsi and Kweichow. | A new retreat by Nanking forces on the Chekiang-Fukien front after | |@ day of fierce major engagements was followed by an unconfirmed re- port that Nanking cruisers and gun- | boats had captured the Fukien prov- ince seaport of Amoy, one of sey- jeral cities subjected to a murderous serial bombardment by ‘Nanking planes during the past week. The Nanking regime has commissioned & notorious bandit chieftain in the Pu- kien mountains as a divisional com- mander in an effort to create a di- version back of the lines of the Fukien secessionist forces. Fierce fighting is ‘reported from Kiangsi and Szechwan provinces, where the heroic Chinese Red Armies are defending the Soviet districts against Nanking’s sixth annual anti- Communist crusade. The fighting is of such proportions that there are hundreds of casualties daily on both sides. On the Chahar-Chihli front, Gen.

The report of the ministry of finance is on the contrary a fresh proof that the whole of the Hitlerian work provision man- euver is being carried out at the ex- pense of the workers. It is once for all an incontestable fact that short time employment and wage cuts have so reduced the total income of the German workers that the above fal- ling off of wage tax receipts has re- sulted. forced to admit a drop in the re- ceipts of the tobacco, ber and sugar taxes. Thse three taxes are 3 parti- cularly sensitive criterion of the standard of living of the working people, as the decline in these re- ceipts is synonymous with a declining standard of life.

Inflation of Currency Planned Meanwhile, the Hitler regime is striding forward to inflation of the currency, with a further worsening of the conditions of the toiling masses. In November 1932. the Reichsbank still possessed a gold reserve of 882 million marks, but by Noy. 1933, this had sunk to 397 million marks. Dur- ing the same period the reserve of covering securities declined from 104.5 million marks to 7.9 millions. The Reichsbank stated officially that in the same period the circula- tion of bank notes declined from 3413.6 million marks to 33688 mil- lions, but it is common knowledge that at the present time there is not only one German currency, bu eral, for meanwhile registered marks, blocked marks, etc., have come into being. The recent decision of the Reichsbank authorities that the debt transfer could not be carried out has evoked furious protests from foreign banks and investors, serving to in- crease the political isolat: of the Nazi regime and to depreciate Ger- ;man currency on the international stock exchanges. | | t ‘sev~ Japan Sentences | 2 Kereans To Die | SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 26. — (By Cable)—Twenty-eight. anti-imperial- ist fighters were sentenced to death, 20 to life imprisonment, and 198 to from one to fifteen hears at hard labor by the Japanese court in this | city on Dec. 20. All the defendants were charged with carrying on activ- | ities against. Japanese imperialism in 1931. Like 1933 and 1032 the year 1931/ | was marked by sharp and bitter struggles of the Korean workers and peasants, suffering from the heavy blows of the crisis and the fierce at- tacks of the Japanese imperialists seeking to find a “way out” of the crisis at the expense of the colonial masses and the toiling population at home. It-was in thet year that the Jap- anese imperialists finally sought to find a “way out” by as robber war against China, the invasion of Man- churia, and the beginning of a policy of anti-Soviet war provocatons con- tinued with increasing venom to this Gay.

Of this number not more than 10 per cent may be girls. Under the decree, nearly two- thirds of the 40,000 high school stue dents who will. graduate before the Esster holidays, will be arbitrarily barred from the pursuit of higher learning next spring. Jewish students already have been barred from the professions under the Nazi anti- Semitic codes. This is in sharp cons trast to the rapid promotion of high- er learning in the Soviet Union, with especial attention to the Jews and other minorities formerly oppressed under Tsarist capitalism. The 15,000 elect will be chosen ac- cording to their “national” reliability —that is, loyalty to the murderous Nazi dictatorship against the working class. They will naturally come from the families of the bourgeoisie, with here and there a few concessions to the petty bourgeoisie. The number of students in the high schools will also be arbitrarily reduced. The bulk of the boys graduating from the high schools will be forced into the forced labor camps for the militarization of the youth. The girls will be ordered to compete with the already huge number of unemployed | domestic servants and, under the wor- sening economic conditions, will evens tually swell the army of prostitutes, Dr. Frederich Syrup, Nazi Minister of Employment, admitted today that “the army of professional men with- out bread is so large” that there is no opportunity for employment for university graduates.

Unprecedented Growth of Culture” (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Dec. 29. (By Radio) — The fourth session of the Sixth Cen- tral Executive Committee of the So- viet Union opened yesterday as the sessions of the central executive com- mittees of the various Soviet Repub- lics comprising the Soviet Union ended their meetings. Viacheslay Molotov, chairman of-the Council of Peoples Commissars, opened the session with a report on the national economy plan for 1934—| second year of the Second Five-Year Plan, Pravda, official organ of the Com-! munist Party, dealt with the opening’ session of the Central Executive Com- mittee in a leading article entitled “The Eve of 1934.” “The Soviet Government,” said Pravda, “brings big results to the ses- sion. In the tremendous work ac- complished in recent years, which are unexampled in history, the year 1933 played an especially great role. Tre- mendous mountains were moved in these years through the efforts of the entire country, “The sessions will sit and work out conditions to meet the tremendous upsurge of all the creative forces in an enormous country. Not one gov- ernment, not one capitalist country can advance a program such as this session of our government brings for- ward before the peoples of the Soviet Union. Not one of the premier bour- geois countries can speak from their parliamentary tribune with such re- sults and prospects as the chairman of the Soviet Peoples Commissars, Comrade Molotov, speaks of today from the tribune of the session, The forces of our country, its economy, the well being of its toilers, are con- stantly growing, and therefore its gov- ernment is strong and unshakeable.

This is shown by the high harvest and the Increased prosperity and culture in our Socialist villages. “The people of the Soviet Union, who feel the pulsation of new blood in the veins of the country, will listen to the report of the chairman of So- viet Peoples Commissars on the planned national economy for 1934 | with special attention. The 1934 plan shows that the country is not satis- fied with the achievements, that next year it will make a new leap for- ward. Growth of Culture “Nineteen thirty-four will be a year of unprecedented growth of. culture ;in the widest sense of the word—cul- ture of a new life for tens of millions of workers and peasants. What gov- ernment in the world can present a practical plan of such devlopment? Only the government of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, only the government of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Stalin’s Speech on “When the first Petersburg Soviet of workers deputies arose in 1905 in revolutionary battles of the prole- tariat, Lenin, who was then living illegally in the Tszarist capital, im- mediately determined the place of Covists in the history of the world. Almost thirty years have passed since that time and the Soviets have be- come the banner in revolutionary struggle and gigantic creative work. “The people of the entire world are now listening, with, special attention to all that is said from the Soviet tribune.

It opens the first noble page of this new great year of rapid cultural upsurge in the land of the Soviets.” “The report of the chairman of the Council of Soviet Peoples Commissars will rouse a tremendous echo in this country and beyond its borders. “Comrade Molotov in the report determined the basis of the national economy plan for 1934. What can the leaders of the big economic organiza- tions in the capitalist countries say of the fate of tomorrow? But here from the tribune of the session a real plan of work is formed and firmly based for a’gigantically growing great coun- try for a whole year. A Bolshevik Party only knows one type of plan— unceasing growth. Growth in quality, growth ‘in production, growth in the culture and well being of the toilers. This is especially characteristic of the plan for 1934, “In his analysis of the results of the year 1933, Comrade Molotov showed that the curve last year formed in such manner thai month by month it rose higher with increasing speed. This makes it possible to decide the high tempo and further growth next year. The general growth of produc- tion in big industry for the Soviet Union during 1934 has been decided as twenty one per cent in comparison to 1933, Production of heavy industry increases 23.2 per cent, lumber in- dustry 18,3. per cent, output in food industry 22.3 per cent. The increase in articles in wide use comprises 17.8 per cent. This forms one of the dis- tinguishing features in the national economy plan for 1934. This will be a year of unprecedented growth in pro- duction of articles in wide consump- tion and for the satisfaction of the Report Great Achievements at Sixth Central Soviet Conference “Only Dictatorship ot Proletariat Can Show Such Advances” work and life in the country. This year, thanks to the heroic work of the Communist Party which mobilized and directed millions of the best and most courageous collective farmers, and especially women, we obtained a plentiful harvest unknown in’ years since the revolution.
