The eye of every worker should | be turned upon its proceedings. For the Congress of | the United States is the place where Wall Street gives its orders to its legislative servants. Every act of Congress will be, in one form or an- other, an act to protect capitalism and the profits of the capitalists, at the expense of the toiling masses of the people, the workers and impoverished farmers. ‘The present Congress of rich lawyers, capitalist Politicians, lackeys of th utilities and industrial Monopolies presents an instructive contrast to the Present sessions of the Central Executive Committee @f the Soviet Union, where the Soviet workers from the factories, collective farms, mines, and railroads gather to plan the enormous advances of the Second Five-Year Plan. ‘The United States Congress is exactly what Marx Galled all capitalist democracies—“the executive com- | Mittee of the capitalist ruling class.” "The Soviet Congress is the governmental organ of | the toiling masses of the Soviet Union, and its every | act is in their interest, in the interest of building a | Better life for those who toil the JOOSEVELT has been holding preliminary conversa- tions on the agenda for the Congress. On the life and death question of relief for the 10,000,000 jobless workers and their families, Roose~ Yelt has not said a word. Unless the starving work- és, through organized mass activities and protesis, force the Congress to act, the Roosevelt government Will let it pass without taking the slightest action to | feed the army of unemployed, and to provide them | with adequate unemployment insurance as protection | against the capitalist curse of unemployment. | But there is one subject on which Roosevelt has | expressed himself rather clearly, the subject of more | taxes to plug up the vast deficits of the growing gov- ernment budget crisis, More taxes to fall with crushing weight on the baeks of the workers and ruined farmers! That will be one of the biggest items of the present Congress. | ‘The present Congress will approve Roosevelt’s irengthening the strikebreaking powers of the N.R.A., Will approve the growing Fascisation of the capitalist State power.

But that the main objective, to cheapen the workers wages ough dollar devaluation, will have to be continued, there will be no dispute at all. Taxes on the ma: to pay for the profits and losses of the Wall Street monopolies, to pay for war— this is the main objective of the present Congress. It is against this which the masses must organize—to demiand adeauate relief, and unemployment insurance, to demand that the government make Wall Street pay | * for the crisis which capitalist rule has brought upon the masses with its train of hunger and misery, to “make these Wall Street capitalist masters, who are feaping increasing profits through the Roosevelt N.R.A. | end “New Deal,’ to make these capitalist parasites Yesponsible for the welfare of the toiling masses, of the workers and their children!

Only immediate protest can help our comrades, fighters for the free- dom of the Chinese masses. Send telegrams immediate to Dr. Alfred Sue, Chin- ese ambassador in Washington, demanding the release of Paul and Gertrude Ruegg and protesting against | their torture. Send cables to Chiang Kai-shek demanding the release of these two comrades. All workers’ organizations should immediately pass resolutions of protest against this dastardly imprison- ment, demanding the release of the Rueggs. These reso- ms should forthwith be forwarded to the Chinese nbassador in Washington. Only immediate action will help our comrades. LaGuardia Begins the Attack AYOR LAGUARDIA, newly inducted into office, has already given unmistakable indication of what he intends to do within the coming weeks. Every one of his utterances has been a fairly open promise of coming assault against the working- class population of the City. LaGuardia has been chosen to continue the City policy of protecting the Wall Street loans. The previ- ous Tammany administration has become too raw, too discredited in the eyes of the masses, to serve as an adequate instrument of the Wall Street bankers, La- Guardia now takes O’Brien’s place as a Mayor of “reform,” as a “fighter against graft.” He is at the present moment inaugurating a few catchpenny investigations into “graft.” He will deliber- ately make a big fuss about “the crooks” and “graft.” In the end, nothing will be done. New crooks and grafters of the Fusion stripe will displace the Tam- many crooks. And only in a few cases, at that. Meanwhile, behind this camouflage, LaGuardia will drive ahead to carry out the wishes and dictates of the Wall Street bankers! VERY ONE of LaGuardia’s remarks is concerned with what to him is the urgent necessity of “balancing the budget.” What does that mean? Simply that LaGuardia is driving ahead to the fulfillment of his pre-election piedge to the group of Morgan-Rocke- feller Wall Street bankers who financed and organized his campaign. That pledge was to guarantee the safety of the City’s bonds in which these bankers hold hundreds of millions in investments, and to guarantee the regular and punctual payments by the City of the huge interest tribute of $100,000,000 a year thet these Wall Street bankers exact from the City’s population. Before February 1, the City must assure itself of $40,000,000 additional income to pay the bankers, or slash wages and expenses by that amount. That is what LaGuardia means by “balancing the budget.” That is what he promised the bankers. Bia ica on THE LIFE and death question of adequate relief for the jobless and their families, LaGuardia has declared that the “present state of the budget” re- quires that all relief be administered “scientifically.” For every jobless worker, for every workingclass mother who is trying to keep her children alive on the scraps of food that are handed out through the slow-moving, brutal relief agencfes of the city, that | can have only one meaning. It means less to eat, less for shelter and warmth. It means the spreading of the present relief appropriation over a greater num- ber of jobless, If LaGuardia is so interested in science, why does he not make a scientific slash in the $100,000,000 in- terest payments that the City hands over the Wall Street banks? Why does he not make a “scientific” slash in the fat salaries of the top office-holders? aa Sines ee IN THE QUESTION of the 5-cent fare, LaGuardia yesterday shot out: “Certainly there is no use beating about the bush. You can’t have your credit shot to pieces, and expect to exchange city securities for property.” He means here that he will soon take measures | to enforce what he called earlier last week as the “adequate fare.” He is planning to “exchange city securities for property” and maintain the high value of these “securities.” That is to say, he is planning io turn over to the present stockholders and bondholders of the sub- ways (the Wall Street bankers), a new issue of City bonds in exchange for “their” property, the subways, in a plan of “unification.” And in order to guaranice the City payments on these bonds he will introduce “an adequate fare”— the 7-cent fare! On the subject of wages for Civil Service em- ployees, LaGuardia has already taken grim steps about whose outcome there cannot be any doubt. He has asked the State Legislature to give him power to effect what he is pleased to eall “major operation” in order to raise the necessary $40,000,000 to pay the Wall Street bankers. And this means that City employees of the School system, the various hospital, welfare, educational services of the city are headed for another sharp wage cut—unless they fight! In its totality, LaGuardia’s program is the pro- gram of the Morgan-Rockefeller banks who chose him. Sey en ee COMMUNIST PARTY is the only party in the City that calls for organized resistance to this Wall Street program. It calls for the organization of the jobless against relief cuts, for higher relief. the following demands, and calls for practical steps of organization to execute them, The Communist Party is the only party which has issued demands and slogans that express the real needs of the masses of the City. It calls for organization to effect the following immediate program: Not a cent to the bankers! Adequate cash relief to all unemployed without discrimination! Against salary or wage cuts of any kind! Against any increase in subway fares! No discrimination against Negroes, especially on jobs or relief! For the unlimited rights of the workers to or- ganize, strike and picket! Against injufictions and compulsory arbitration! For Unemployment and Social Insurance at the expense of the government and employers! Against any curtailment of educational facilities! The working population of New York City, the Jobless, the professionals and lower middle classes will have to gird themselves for bitter struggle against the administration of the new Mayor, LaGuardia, if they want to beat back what very clearly appears as an even more ruthless Wall Street drive than that of the previous Tamiiany hack, O’Brien.

The leading article by C. A. Hath- jaway, editor of the Daily Worker is entitled, “The Daily Worker Fights for the Aims and Needs of the Work- jing Class.” The “article is a direct and lucidly-writtten presentation of the character of the “Daily” and its fighting program as the central organ of the Communist Par-| ty of the United States. Hathaway issues a ringing call “to the many first-time readers as well as veteran readers of the Daily | Worker,” showing that the “Daily” is |not “just another newspaper.” From | this article the workers will learn to know the difference between the cap- |italist press andour Daily Worker. The article is illustrated with a | three-column cartoon entitled, “The Sower,” made by Fred Ellis, one-time ff artist of the Daily Worker, Ellis jis now on the staff of “Trud,” or- gan of the All-Russian Trade Unions and his work is known to millions of Soviet workers and peasants. The Fight for Organization Jack Stachel; assistant secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, which, with the Communist Party, has led scores of militant struggles involving hundreds of thousands of workers in recent years, writes on “The Fight for a Strong Militant Trade Union Movement.” This article is |illustrated by two brilliant cartoons |by Robert Minor, one depicting a typical A. F, of L, convention, and entitled “The Dead Hand,” and an- jother entitled, “We'll Fight!” dealing with mine struggles of recent years. On the same page is an article by |Moissaye J. Olgin, Editor-in-Chief of |the Morning Freiheit. In this ar- ee “The Foreign-Language Press in |the U. S.,” Olgin, a veteran Commu- nist journalist and author, explains the necessity for a foreign-language press and shows that it is not in- compatible with the determination to build a mass Communist Party based on the native-born wovkers, whom we have not sufficiently reached, and who are so vital for us Capen yt AACR Boston Workers to Hold Public ‘Trial of Nazi Agents Jan. BOSTON, Jan, 12.—A public trial of Adolf Hitler, Fascism and | agents in Boston, at which thirty-one workers arrested in five weeks for anti-Nazi activities will be witnesses, will be held here Sunday, Jan. 7, at | Dorchster Manor, 800 Morton Street, under the auspices of the Interna- tional Labor Defense. Among the Nazi agents in Boston who will be put on trial are David K. | Niles and Rabbi Harry Levi, who invited Nazi representatives to make | propaganda speeches at th Ford Hall Forum and caused the arrest of five anti-fascist workers who demon- strated with 5,000 others outside the | hall, Friedrich Schoeneman, a paid Hitler propaganda agent; Kurt Von Tippleskirch, Nazi consul, who caused the arrest of seven anti-fascists who demonstrated outside the consulate December 19; Nicholas Dawyskyba, of the United Ukranian Societies, who has carried on a campaign of slan- der against the Soviet Union with Hamilton Fish, Ralph Easley, and others, who caused the arrest of 19 workers for exposing these slanders; the police of Boston, who arrested 31 anti-fascist workers in five weeks for speaking against fascism, sup- pressed all rights of free speech and assembly for workers, illegally finger- printed, photographed, and beat ar- rested workers. Judge Charles L. Carr, who handed out jail terms of protection of the Socialist city offi- cials. Milwaukee’s worst shame, however, is the “Deutsche Zeitung,” that is typed and printed at the plant of the Milwaukee Leader, the paper that belongs to the Socialist reactionary trade unions, and the Jewish Daily Forward, from fifteen days to three months to its | opponents of fascism, for the openly stated purpose of preventing people from demonstrating against Hitlerism. A jury selected by working-class and anti-fascist organizations hear the evidence and render a de- cision. Foreign News Briefs Dutch Dov’t.

He fervently thanked Hitler for what he has done for the Father- land and the German people (read capitalists and big landowners), and credited him with achieving the “spiritual regeneration” of Ger- many, (intensification of war prep=- arations, mass imprisonment and torture of political opponents, dras- tic reduction of unemployment re=' lief;;foreced Jabor camps for the youth; limiting of educational facili- ties: for working-class youth, aboli- tion of free speech, the franchise and ‘all democratic forms, revival of médiaeval tortures: axe execu- tioners, etc., destruction of workers’ unions and clubs and general en- slavement of the the toiling popu- lation). Hitler, in reply, paid tribute to Hindenburg’s decision of Jan, 30, 1933, to entrust him with the gov= ernment, declaring that this deci- sion “enabled us in a time of the severest economic and political con- vulsions to strengthen the structure of the Reich, raise the authority of its government, and respect for law.’ Hitler, however, refrained from commenting on the services of the German Socialist leaders in pev- ing the way for fascism. Socialist Leaders Supported Hindenburg It was the Socialist leaders who urged the German workers to vote for Hindenburg in the last presi- dential elections, under the decep-~ tive slogan of “the lesser evil.” Socialist Party leaders acce ted Hindenburg as their candidate. They rejected the united front of- fers ‘of the German Communist Party and expelled rank members and funetionarie; joined the united front by the Communist Party.

Court Supports Irish Fascist DUBLIN, Jan. 2.—Justice O'Byrne has granted defense attorneys for Gen. O'Duffy, leader of the Fascist Irish Blue Shirt Party, a conditional order of prohibition against the military trial ordered by the De Valera government for O'Duffy on a charge of treason in incitement for murder of De Valera. O’Byrne re- cently ordered O'Duffy's release from a charge of defying the government's ban on the Blue Shirt uniform. called Hindenburg @ “great: dem crat” and urged American workers \. to support the German Social | Democracy in “its struggle for democracy.” In his eulogy of the Hi Te gime, the Papal Nuncio left ni doubt that the reactionary on Church fully supports the crimes against the German pes ing-class. He voiced the Aid of the Catholic hierarchy in the exis- tence of the Nazi dictatorship, and declared “as witnesses of the vicis- situdes experienced by your coun= try in recent years we have no dif- ficulty in realizing the extent of the political change, marking a ver~ itable history.” point in its es reach with our program, “The World-Wide Communisi Press,” by Robert Hamilton, is the leading article on Page 3 of the sup- plement. Hamilton, who has worked on Communist publications in France, Germany and other European coun- tries, describes the revolutionary press in those and other countries. Especially significant is his descrip- tion of the illegal Communist press in Germany, China and similar coun- tries where the workers are hero~ ically battling fascist reaction and terror. Hamilton's article is illustrated by a static reproduction of a cable greet- ing to the Daily Worker from “Hu- manite,” central organ of the Com- munist Party of France. Crisis and Unemployment Two articles dealing with the capi- talist crisis and the struggle of the unemployed for relief and unemploy- ment insurance appear on page four. “They Said the U. S. Was an Ex- ception,” written by Milton Howard, shows how the Daily Worker “alone foresaw the inevitable descent of the present: crisis.” “The Daily Worker as a Fighter for the Unemployed,” by Carl Reeve, describes the historic Hunger Marches and the day-to-day struggles of the jobless for relief. James S, Allen, author of “Negro Liberation,” writes on “Forerunners of the U.S.A. Workingclass Press.” This article is illustrated with a front-page reproduction of “The La- bor Standard,” of Aug. 4, 1877, with the first report of the great railroad strike. The same page contains an article on “The Trade Union Press of the Present Day,” by N. Honig, editor of “Labor Unity.” Lenin and the Press Sam Don, member of the Editorial Board of the Daily Worker, writes on “The Dream of Lenin.” This article is a popularly written theoretical ar- ticle on Lenin’s fight for 2 Bolshevik press, and the lessons of this struggle in the building and developing of a Communist press in the United States. In this article, Don examines the claims made for the “greatness” of the capitalist press, and shows that heir “greatn consists primarily “in their ability to buy everything and everybody.” Bearing in mind that at least 200,- 000 workers in the United States will see the Daily Worker for the first time, F. Brown has written an ar- ticle wihch explains in the most con- crete manner the character and aims of the Communisé Party. ‘The article is called, “What Is This About ‘Reds’?” and declares: “The Dally Worker? Yes, it is the organ of the reds, of the real ones, of the Communists. Who are we Communists that we speak to you through the Daily Worker? Wisat do we want?” Citing the day-io-day service of the Daily Worker during its ten years of existence as an agitator and or- ganizer, the writer concludes ‘ith an appeal to first-time readers to become permanent readers of the “Daily,” and to non-Party workers to become members of the Communist Party. ° « . “LENIN IS DEAD! GREAT MASSES OF WORKERS OVER WORLD IN MOURNING.” This is how the Daily Worker of Jan. 23, 1924, emblazoned the news of the death of the great leader of the world proletarian revolution. A photographic reproduction of ithe first-page of the Daily Worker re- porting Lenin's death appears in the Anniversary Edition. Stalin on Lenin On the same page is “The Heritage of Lenin,” the speech delivered by Joseph Stalin, Secretary of the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union at the Second Congress of Soviets of the U. S. S. R., Jan, 26, 1924, a few days after the death of Lenin. This is a living, throbbing article and glows with fervor. “We Communists +. are those who comprise the army of the great proletarian strategist, the army of Comrade Lenin,” declared Stalin. “There is nothing higher than the honor of belonging to this army. There is nothing higher than the title of member of the Party founded and led by Comrade Lenin . . . Sons of the working class, sons credible deprivation and heroic ef- fort—these are the ones who must first of all be members of such a party. That is why the Leninist Party, the Communist Party, at the same time calls itself the Party of the working class.” The “double-spread” — the inside pages of the Anniversary supple- ment—is given over to a vigorous ar- ticle from the pen of Robert Minor, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Entitled “The Birth and Growth of the Daily Worker,” Minor shows how the ‘Daily” is a product of the native American scil and how its ten-year record of struggle is a nart of the history of the American working class. In this article Minor graphi- cally describes the historic conversa- tion in 1921, between Lenin and a number of leading American Com- munists regarcing the urgency of es- tablishing a daily newsnane: in the English languaze in the Un‘ted States. This article is illustrated. with the of poverty and struggle, sons of in-|c: first page of the first issue of the Daily Worker, Jan. 13, 1924, which, incidentally, carried one of the now- famous cartoons by Minor. An insight into the methods of the maudlin “liberal” Scripps-Howard press is furnished by Marguerite ‘Young, of the Daily Worker Wash- ington Bureau, who writes on “Why I left the Service of the Capitalis: “An Army of lents” One of the most important articles in the Anniversary Edition deals with Worker Correspondents, more than 1,000 of whom write regularly for the Daily Worker. “An Army of Worker Correspondents Writes the Story of the Struggle on the Job Throughout the U. 8.” by Gertrude Haessler and Charles Blank, tells of the growth of workers correspondence in the Daily Worker during the past ten years, and shows how the letters from work- ers gt ie ey life-blood of the “What Will 250, 000 Find in the 10th Anniversary Edition? _ ARTICLES BY LEADING WRITERS DESCRIBE VALUE OF “DAILY” IN STRUGGLES OF U: S.
