WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1934 Manhattan. 6 months, By Carrier: 1 Social Insurance in Congress) wo CONGRESS now in session, there is a great deal of talk of introducing bills termed “unem~ ployment insurance” bills into Congress. But all these bills proposed by the “New Deal” politicians and the Social fascists have one aim—to sidetrack real unem- ployment insurance—to stifle the mass demand of the umemployed for security with an empty gesture. There is now a widespread demand of the workers for jobs. The C.W.A., as well as the P.W.A.,, has failed to fulfill the rosy promises of millions of jobs made by Roosevelt. The indignation of the workers at the failure to give jobs or relief is growing. It is just at this time when the demand of the workers for jobs is more insistent, when the collapse of Roosevelt's “re-employment” schemes is becoming apparent to masses of workers, that the campaign for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill must be in The. fake bills are now being brought forward to stifle the workers’ demands. Senator Wagner, right hand man of Roosevelt, and crafty servant of finance capital, is “undecided” whether to introduce in Con- gress his previous bill, which is not an unemployment insurance measure at all, but which merely exempts employers’. insurance funds, and state funds, from taxation, or whether to make a new gesture and pro- pose “compulsory reserves” under the codes. “Compulsory reserves” means the same proposal as before—‘“insurance” only for those who have been recently employed, a system whereby the funds are wielded: over the heads of the workers, who will be threatened with loss of jobs and loss of insurance if they organize to fight bad conditions. These proposals place.the funds for “insurance” in the hands of the employers, and force workers to pay a part of the fund. American Association for Social Security has writven Congressmen, recommending their proposed bill om the grounds that it will cost $70,000,000 less to the United States than the present relief paid out by the fovermment. In other words, their bill cuts off im- mediate relief and gives even less than is given now in the name of “insurance.” ‘The American Federation of Labor executive coun- 41 will propose a similar bill at its meeting on Jan. 18. © workers must not let real unemployment in- ace be wrested from their grasp. The present jon of Congress must act on the Workers Unem- Insurance Bill sae WORKERS Unemployment Insurance Bill, un- tile all other proposals, provides that “Unemploy- ment insurance shall not be less than $10 weekly for adulé. workers, $3 for each dependent, to all workers Wholly unemployed through no fault of their own, for the cntire period of unemployment.” ‘The Workers Unemployment Bill calls for no dis- erimimation against any unemployed worker. The fake Proposals now making their appearance call for the Tunds to be in the hands of the employers, The Work- ers Unemployment Insurance Bill alone states, “the unemployment insurance fund shall be administered and controlled by the workers through unemployment insurance commissions composed of rank and file mem- bers of workers organizations.” The funds are to be “raised by the government from funds now set aside for war preparations, and by taxation upon incomes over $5,000 a year.” Those who are sick, old or disabled are to receive full in- surance. Pari time workers are to receive the dif- ference between their wages and the insurance. Strik- ers shall be entitled to insurance. None of the bills now proposed by the politicians and ‘Social-fascists contain these features which pro- tect the workers from discrimination, and which force the nich and the government to bear the full burdens of the funds. The central demand of the National Convention Against Unemployment on Feb. 3, 4, and 5 in Wash- ington D. C., will be the demand on Congress for the enactment cf the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bu, Greater mass pressure, a more intensive campaign for this convention, and for the Workers Bill, will win unemployment insurance for the masses of unemployed workers. ‘ Expose the fake “insurance” schemes! 2 Demand the passage of the Workers Unemploy- | ment Insurance Bill! 1 .

Their navy is being groomed for a sea attack. Just recently by accident we learned of a huge naval mobilization in Kyoto. The Western military mission has added signifi- cance because it shows that Japanese imperialism is counting on the support of the Western capitalist powers, and that it has reason to believe it can gain this support for an attack against the victorious pro- letarian revolution. ‘The facts of Japanese preparations for war against the Soviet Union we give here are only those which have been revealed in the full light of day. How thorough, how many diverse ramifications it really has, how far it has developed towards the stage of actual attack is difficult to estimate. The danger of war against the Soviet Union is extremely great. No worker should be lulled into passivity by the torrent of peace talk we hear in the United States today. The danger of new imperialist war is greater than ever, and the danger especially of war against the Soviet Union is paramount. Defend the Soviet Union! Hearst and Racketeering ‘VERY worker, rightly incensed against labor rack- eteers, will correctly ask: “What is behind the sudden zeal of Mr. Randolph Hearst in his purported exposure of racketeering?” During the past week Hearst’s New York Journal has been carrying carefully worked out stories of rack- eteering in the trade unions, instances of graft, of the “kick-back,” of how contractors, working with trade union leaders, force the workers to pay for jobs, and how wages are slashed. Has this vicious, anti-working class millionaire newspaper owner sudenly become interested in the “purity” of the trade unions? This gentleman has a well-designed method in his apparent madness. Yesterday, Mr. Hearst's lackey in the Senate, Royal S. Copeland, also evinced sudden activity to coincide with the New York Journal’s exposures. The Senator declared he will soon introduce the Severest legislation ostensibly against racketeering in the trade unions. against racketeering (which exists among the trade unions bureaucrats far beyond anything Mr. Hearst would ever dare ex- pose and reaches to places Mr. Hearst would. never touch), these gentlemen are preparing the most vict- ous fascist measures against workers’ organizations ever attempted in the United States. Under the screen of @ drive against racketeering, Mr. Hearst and his flunkey, Senator Copeland, are opening the wedge for a vicious fascist assault on the rights of the workers in trade unions. At the same time, representing powerful real estate interests, huge contractors, Mr. Hearst is directing his fury against the smaller fry in the contracting business, who have been chiseling away at the real big rackets of the top leaders in the building trades and their associates in the contracting outfits. Exposure of racketeering during the crisis especially was begun and is now being carried on by the Anti- Racketeering Committee, organized by rank and file Opposition members. Hearst was able to wheedle a lot of his facts from workers cooperating with this committee. Many of them did not know what Hearst’s intention was in his self-styled exposure of Tacketeering. * . . | Gai thought that perhaps legislation may hit the Teal racketeers. But the capitalist government, with its N. R. A, its inflation, its drive to war, its National (strike-break- ing) Labor Board, is strengthening by hook or crook, by every one of its moves, the government's fascist drive against the workers’ organizations, This is being done in order to hamper and cripple the ability of struggle of these organizations against the vicious drive to lower the workers’ standard of living. No effort will be made to touch the real racketeers, the ones way up on top, closely aligned with the | government apparatus. These racketeering bureau- crats and strike breakers themselves are the most valuable allies for the fascist program of Mr, Hearst. Mr. Hearst is not giving the facts on racketeering. He is digging down into the sensational details only in so far as they serve his vile purpose, his anti- working class fascist intent. ‘The real facts will be collected and presented to the workers by the Daily Worker in a special series of articles soon to appear. ‘These articles will show what Mr. Hearst hides— that the real racketeers are the present chief leaders of the American Federation of Labor, high up in the government apparatus, working with the NRA. against the workers and to smash their strike sti les f better living conditions, ae = . ALTE Same time, we must raise the greatest alarm among the workers on the danger that faces them, The wiley Mr. Hearst knows that the rank and file in the A. F. of L. hate the racketeers with all the hearts. He knows further that many haye illusions about the role of the government. He is trying to utilize both in his crafty means of Pressing fascist laws which ultimately will hit not the racketeers but. the rank and file workers and their trade unions, The real racketeers, the whole system of graft in the trade unions is wound around the officialdom like @ poisonous vine. It can be ripped up and torn to pieces only by the action of the rank and file, or- ganized in opposition groups, fighting for their Tights in the union, for struggle, and against the corrupted bureaucracy. * AT THE same time, the fight must be carried on re- lentlessly against the perverted use which Mr, Hearst is making of the racketeering evidence to pursue his vicious fascist purposes, From the capitalist governments the workers can expect no aid in the fight against racketeers. The high sounding anti-racketeering laws will Protect the real racketeers and contain fascist teeth against the workers. On both fronts, the workers must fight e setic- ally, arousing the greatest vigilance among i eenen In this struggle the Communists have the duty of leading. In the past many mistakes were made. The dangers of the fascist use of the anti-racketeering laws was not fully understood or explained to the masses, This must now be done with all haste. Above all, the anti-racketeering activity must be Speeded up among the rank and file, connecting it with the daily struggles of the workers against the bureaucrats and strikebreakers, against the whole fas- cist measures of the N.R.A., and for rank and file ac- tion in the trade unions to protect their rights, Join the Communist Party 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N. ¥.

The Bolivian government, faced with a growing armed resistance of the masses against its war policies and suffering severe military revers- als preceding the truce which has now expired, is frantically reorganiz- ing its forces, with the aid of U. S. experts and loans from American banks. The Bolivian command took advantage of the truce to fortify their new positions west of Fort Munoz, and the next important military move is expected in that direction.

Hardly five months have passed since the “united” German evangelical church was patiently botched together under the leadership of the national-social- ist district parson, Mueller, and al- ready the whole house of cards threatens to collapse. It is quite clear that the leaders of the opposition against the policy of the fascist jack-boot in the church are not by any means opponents of fascism on principle. There are many national socialists amongst the three thousand oppositional parsons. One of the most prominent of the leaders of the opposition, the Bonn theologist, Karl Barth, declares, re- ferring to Hitler: “In the contemporary political movement we haye an impressive figure of a leader who has proved himself to be a leader by the capacity to conquer political power and to use it.” Fear Weakening of Church Influence ‘ The struggle is therefore not being conducted in terms of fascism and anti-fascism. Barth and the other leaders of the oppositional parsons regard the thorough-going fascist methods of Mueller as a danger. They fear that his methods may re- sult in a weakening of the mass in- fluence of the German evangelical church. They are not so short- sighted and dull as Mueller, Hossen- felder, and their friends who, in their narrow-mindedness, have given the so-called “German Christians” the name of “the storm detachments of Jesus Christ.” The question is, how much polit- ical opposition is concealed behind the religious. opposition? In how far are the German nationalists, a capi- talist party, involved in this opposi- tion? There is no doubt that very close connections exist between the conservative leaders of the since dis- solved German nationalist front and the equally conservative buresr:cracy of the old Protestant church. Hugen- berg and the East Elbian Junkers regard the growing difficulties of Hitler as a result of the church struggle as a lever’to improve their own political position. However, it The Violent would be wrong to reduce the evan- Christians, and that is to say, in fact, gelical church struggle to a political opposition of the German national- ists cloaked in a religious form. Seek to Control Ferment of Protestant Masses There are 40,000,000 Protestants in Germany and about 18,000 Protestant parsons ministering to them. When today about one-quarter of these parsons openly mutinies against the German Christians this does not only mean that in fact still more parsons are with them, but that, and this fact is still much more {important, a deep ferment has begun amongsi those Protestants who earn their living by labor. The oppositional parsons are seeking to control this ferment/ and direct it exclusively in the line of religious resistance, for there exists the danger that this fer- ment may break through the religious framework and unite with the dis- appointment at the empty promises of the fascist rulers of the “Third Reich” into an anti-fascist class- struggle. Jesus Converted Into An Aryan Hero The German Christians, or at least their radical wing, believe that they have found the way to a “renaissance of the Protestant church” by the Germanization of the Christian re- ligion. Jesus Christ, according to the Christian religion, a passive, pious sufferer and savior, and in addition a Jew, is being made “Nordic.” He is being made into a warrior hero and, naturally, an “Aryan,” in order that he may find favor in the eyes of the members of the fascist storm detachments. The cry “Back to Wotan!” is no more than the logical application and development on the religious field of the state of mind which ex- presses itself on the political field in the “heroization” of imperialist armaments and in the brutal slaugh- ter of revolutionary workers. However, the doctrines of Chris- tianity as laid down in the Old and the New Testaments make it diffi- cult to provide any theological basis for a new Wotan Christianity. And this explains the campaign being conducted against the Old Testament. This and other facts show how quickly and how far the “Kultur- kampf” (“cultural struggle,” the name given to the historical struggle be- tween the church and Bismarck and now used for the religious struggle in Germany.—Ed.) has intensified in Germany, Obviously the German the national socialists, are already in retreat before the attacks of the op- position, The retreat is unparalleled in kind and threatens to develop into @ panic, Nazi Bishop Forced to Retreat What is the reason for this re- treat and for the successes of the opposition? The national socialists are beginning to realize that the “Kulturkampf,” the “military con- quest” of the Protestant church, will not achieve their aim, and that they have underestimated the power of their religious opponents, The erable collapse of the offensive begun so valiantly by the “Nordic heroes” under the command of the military parson Mueller has since convinced even Dr. Goebbels that it would be a very stupid thing to alienate a natural ally, and that at a time when the struggle against Communism makes a concentration of all the counter-revolutionary forces neces- sary. The contradictions are still ex- tremely intense. However, it would be an error to reckon absolutely with @ split in the evangelical church, or to assume that the evangelical church ill break up as the result of the present internal struggles. Nazis and Church Have Too Much in Common to Split Permanently In the interest not vnly of he church, but also oi: the German capi- talist class, the attitude of the Prot- estant church towards the national socialist government will once again become “independent” and “neutral.” And the reason for this is that only @ church which is apparently in- dependent can conceal the reaction- ary and exploitiig caaracter of its functions from the working masses, The clever members of the general staff of the German Christians had overlooked that point in thejr strug- gle to make Jesus Christ “Nordic.” RUBIN—Tuesday Dying capitalism needs neither freedom of conscience nor scientific progress, but it does need fascist cul- tural barbarism, the stifling of every independent intellectual movement on the part of the masses. Catholic Church a Powerful Weapon For Fascism However, for this purpose the Catholic church ts much better suited than the Protestant church, and this explains the steady growth of its internaitonal signi- ficance. The Protestant church can make its apparatus fascist. Even after the defeat of the German Christians the “National Bishop” will continue to exercise his functions, in a world that has substantial reasons for disappointment with the | seemingly endless and so far fruit- Jess talks about peace and disarma- ;ment, the very fact of the coopera- | tion and friendship between two such great and powerful nations as the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics must inevitably be of great historical significance and of direct, far-reach- ing moment in the cause of world peace. ‘t is my government’s and my own | Sincerest desire and intention to do everything possible for the realiza- tion of the wish expressed by you, that the relations now established between our peoples may forever re- main normal and friendly, and that our nations henceforth may cooper- ate for their mutual benefit and for the preservation of the peace of the world. Seeks Cooperation of U.S. “There is among the people of my country a most natural feeling of sympathy, respect and admiration for your great country which they as- sociate with high technical and scien- tific progress and which they regard as an immense creative force. The cooperation, therefore, of the 125,000,- 000 people of your country with the 170,000,000 of our own vast country must of necessity be a boon to the general progress of humanity. “I therefore trust, Mr. President, that the new era of normal and friendly relations between our peoples Church Struggle in Fascist Germany Danger of Consolidation of Church Threatens Working Class and, probably, will be a national socialist. The Protestant church will participate in the propaganda for a fascist cultural policy, but it cannot reverse historical development to the tune of four centuries and accom- plish a renaissance as a strong people’s church with great influence over the masses. Historical development has placed other questions on the agenda, ques- tions which are setting the working masses in movement. The final struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is drawing larger and larger circles of Protestant and Catholic workers and peasants into the front of the detly class struggle. One of the most important tasks of the revolutionary advance guard of the working class is to win these elements for the aims of socialism, for the overthrow of capitalist bar- barism. Church Struggle Contains Certain Dangers For Revolutionary Movement The church struggle in Germany contains various elements of danger for the revolutionary working class movement, and they must be recog- nized in time and countered effec- tively. One of these is a certain danger of the consolidation of the religious fanaticism which has been deliberately fanned by the religious authorities in the struggle against the German This might become a barrier to the advancing proletarian class struggle. The second is the danger that the illusion ht be strengthened — both amongst the Catholic and Protestant workers— that the struggle of the leaders of the churches against the German Christians is an anti-fascist strug- gle. This danger is enhanced by the fact that the reformists have adopted this opinion. A further danger is the typical reformist illusion that the erowing inner difficulties produced by the “Kulturkampf” must lead to the inevitable collapse of the church. This theory that the thing will col- lapse of its own accord leads to pas- sivity, to the isolation of the pro- letarian free-thinkers from the mil- lions of Protestant and Catholic workers and peasants. The “Kulturkampf” has assisted in ‘French Communist ‘Paper Accuses Gov't of Killing Stavisky Huge Demonstrations by Swindled Workers Against Gov't PARIS, Jan, 9. — Thousands ot small investors, robbed of their tay-~ ings in the Credit Municipal Bayonne bank ¢tash, demonstrated against the government today, following revela- tions by “L’Humanite,” Communist paper, that Serge Stavisky, fugitive head of the bank, was killed by French secret palice to prevent him revealing the names of high French government officials who aided him in his colossal swindle.

Stavisky, who was cornered by se~ cret police yesterday in a villa near Chamonix, was reported to have shot himself. The financier died soon af- ter he was taken to the hospital. The police story of suicide is scouted even by most of the bourgeois papers. “L'Humanite” charges the gov- ernment with executing him to pre- venta confession which, everyone ex- pects, would have involved other high officials in addition to Premier Chau- tempts and Minister of Colonies De- Bmier, already implicated in the swindle, Colonial Minister Delimier, whose letter to insurance companies au- thorized investment in bonds offered by Stavisky, resigned yesterday. after being given a clean bill of health by the Chautemps Ministry which bar- gained for his resignation in an at- tempt to stem the furious mass in. dignation. ‘The Chautemps Ministry is now revamping itself in an effort to save its skin.
