As the leaflet dis- tributed by the Auto Workers Union correctly says the road to victory lies in the power and unity of the workers, “Only your mass activity can win. Do not depend on N.R.A. promises! Their business is to break strikes. . To insure victory we call on all strikers to elect repre- sentatives from each department to form a strike com- mittee in each plant. Representatives from these com- mittees should be elected into a general strike com- mittee to be in full charge of the strike. All demands should be submitted to the strikers for approval. No ions’ committee elected by “Hold your ranks solid until the employers grant your demands!” 12 Points Aimed At Labor EGARDLESS of what may be said by the govern- R ment and capitalist representatives at the N.R.A. open hearings in Washington, the main program of action against the workers has already been laid down | by General Johnson's widely publicized 12 points. Last in these points, but not least, is the one declaring for the “Wider use of mechanism for settling labor disputes in connection with code administration.” In other words, this signifies the wider use of strikebreaking such as occurred in Weirton Steel, in Budd Auto Body, in Ford, and in the coal and steel strikes, The hearings were called originally to strengthen and tighten the oppressive measures of the N.R.A. in view of the rapidly rising strike waves definitely against the slave provisions of the codes and against the sub- jection of the company unions. The N.R.A. officials do not want strikes, because developed” in sufficient strength, with powerful mass support by the workers, they would tend to break down the coolie standards by means of which the capitalists have so well profited. The best answer to General Johnson's program has been given by Robert Minor, representative of the Communist Party, who speaks at these hearings, and whose speech is published in today’s Daily Worker. The counter-proposals made by the Communist Party should be discussed by all workers in the factories where organization and action should take place to put them into effect in the interest of the workers. Other of General Johnson’s points are gauged to strengthen every oppressive feature of the N.R.A. Of course, the wiley General does not come out in so many words and declare the real program of the bosses. But it is implicit in every one of his points. For example, he wants greater discrimination against Ne- gro workers, a greater spread between the wages in fhe North and South. As he puts it: “Uniform clas- sification of areas for the purpose of the North and South differentials.” The “uniform classification” 1s to be undertaken in order to spread the differentials, to lower still more the wages of the workers in the South, especially the Negro workers. He speaks still further about “uniformity of wages | and hourly rates in competitive industries,” which will bring about that deadly uniformity which has been going on ever since the N.R.A. was passed; namely, the reducing of all workers’ wages to the code min- imums, to the lowest levels in the country. e ). peace with these main points, the General, con- tinuing the precedent of shameless and unabashed demagogy which characterized the N.R.A. from its un- holy birth up until today, talks about increasing hourly rates and reducing weekly hours. But in practice, the General and all N.R.A. officials have aided the bosses in doing the opposite. General Johnson approved higher weekly hours in the auto industry, which cost 40,000 workers their. jobs, He aided. other capitalists inerease their factory hours. To soothe the ruffled feelings of the small busi- | Mess men who have been suffering from the rapidly developing N.R.A. monopolies, he talks about “protec- tion against monopolies.” Yet the basic purpose of the N.R.A. is to help monopoly capitalism, the big trusts who not only control the N.R.A. on the top, but by every means, By strengthening the big trusts, and through the very working of the codes, along with Roosevelt’s pro- gram of inflation, prices have been shooting upward, thereby adding greater and more oppressive burdens on the workers, General Johnson begins his 12-point program by an attempt to answer the resounding cry against sky- rocketing prices. But he talks of “national price stabil- ization,” which is a cover for Roosevelt’s basic program of a higher price level. He talks about “insurance | against increase of price faster and further than in- crease of purchasing power.” But that baloney was given to the workers originally when their wages were held down while prices mounted skyward. ‘Then the General talks about “a much improved method of securing prompt and effective compliance.” There is an awful lot of dynamite contained in this innocent looking clause so far as the workers are con- cerned. It means, above all, the improvement of all | the anti-labor, strikebreaking apparatus of the N.R.A., to make the workers comply with the low-wage codes, with the company unions, with every decree of the N.R.A., which dooms them to coolie living standards, and to attempt to reduce their unions to useless or- gans without the power of struggle. We urge all workers, particularly Communist Party members, to take up in their factories the program against the N.R.A. put forward by Comrade Minor and give it the widest circulation and discussion. Bus Workers! Vote for the Amalgamated! WOsene of the Fifth Avenue Coach Line are go- ing to the polls today to decide whether they shali have a trade union of the workers to represent them, of whether the bosses will be permitted to herd them into a company union, which in no way can represent their interests, Here is a chance for the bus workers to defeat the company union maneuvers of the wealthy coach bosses and begin to build their own class fighting ‘union. True, the Amalgamated Association of Street and | Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees is not yet a class union; it is up to the workers to vote for it and then make it a class union. Patrick J. Shea, vice-president of the union has elways tried to keep the workers from developing militant struggle. He sabotaged the recent miove for a strike when the bosses fired 19 of the workers. Now the workers can strike a double blow at both the bosses and Shea. Vote for the ‘Amalgamated. Repudiate the Fifth Ave. Coach Association, which is a company union of Then go to work and make the Amal- gamated a real fighting union by electing honest rank and file workers to the leading positions. Organize garage committees of rank and file work- ers in every garage and department committees in every department. Demand that the 19 workers be reinstated. sie A vote for the company union ig a vote for the bosses. A vote for the Amalgamated accompanied by militant struggle on the part of the workers, over- riding all officials who attempt to sidetrack strike ac- tion—this is the way that the bus workers can ‘smash all attempts of discrimination and better their condi- tions. . sine | Ree Approach War Deal |Big Program Planned as DoumergueProtects ‘Attorney - General, Proved Stavisky Aid U.S.S..R. France to Increase Its Arms as Powers Eden Organizes Front Against U.S.S.R. PARIS, Feb. 28.—While Captain Anthony Eden, war agent of the British cabinet, is on his way here after secret consultations with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, the French cabinet is preparing to launch a larger armament program than eevr | before. | The program, to be carried out outside of the immehse war-prepara- tions budget through special loans, partly raised in England, includes} increasing the army, navy, and air! fleet, increasing the munitions re-/ serve, and building of strategic roads and railways.

Ex-Premier’s Kin Merely | | Refused Appointment | to Higher Post PARIS, Feb. 28.—Attorney-General G. Pressard, a brother-in-law of ex- Premier Camille Chautemps, proved to have been responsible for the free- dom of Alexandre Stavisky although he was under indictment for em- bezziement, was given a slap on the wrist by way of punishment yester- day. His nomination for councilor of the Court of Cassation was with- ergue. It was while at large by connivance of Pressard that Stavisky carried out his new swindle involving many mil- lions of francs. Albert Dalitier, Premier during the Stavisky “investigation,” and minister Of colonies in the Daladier cabinet which followed his, has also been accused of complicity in Stavi- sky’s pilfering. The Doumergue government is carrying through a fake investiga- tion into thé murder of Albert Prince, Paris magistrate and key wit- ness against high-placed accomplices of Stavisky, which is bringing out no facts which could lead to the mur- derers. Georges Bonnet, former minister of finance, is another high government official who has been openly accused of having a hand in the Stavisky swindle, MACEDONIANS APPEAL FOR FREEDOM SOFIA, Bulgaria, Feb. 28.—An ap- peal to the Bulgarian and Croatian Peoples and to the League of Nations to support the liberation struggles of the Macedonians was made yes- terddy by the congress of the Mace- donian Revolutionary Committee, The Versailles treaty divided the drawn by decree of President Doum- | Foreed “THAELMANN A Again to ND TORGLER, ys NEXT! — ‘By | | | \ i | | Closed Power Plants Despite Leaders VIENNA, Feb. 13 (By Mail).—As soon as the news about the fighting in Linz arrived in Vienna, the work- ers of the electric works immediately | went on strike.

The report reveals that the Socialist workers began the general strike, not only with- out the help of their leaders, but despite their express orders. It will. be recalled that Otto Bauer, in a public sta‘ement to the world press, openly revealed that he had tried until the very last minute to prevent the strike and the armed struggles of the Austrian workers. Bauer declared to the press: “I sent a message urging them to submit patiently to a search for arms. . . . Lasked our finance minister and our Vice-Governor to get Dollfuss or President Mik- las at all costs to stop the im- minent figh‘ing. . . . Avparently my message arrived too late.” The first hand reports from Vienna * reveal that it was the Communist Party that quickly spread . pamphlets urging the workers to consolidate and spread the strike as quickly as possible, in contradistinction to Otto Bauer, who was trying to stop or break it. |Communist Battles Leaflets ¢ Quickly Appear to.

In Vienna all public places and the doors of all houses must be locked at 8 p. m. The streets are dark now.

The streets are still filled with crowds. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. At any rate, the electric works are the key point to the situation. At this time leaflets of the Com- munist Party of Austria are already making their appearance in the workers’ districts, calling for con- tinuation and extension of the general strike.

This is the second time that the Soviet Union has been forced | to take official notice of the provoca- tive activities of Japanese military planes in the territory of the Soviet Union. Japanese imperialism has built scores of army airplane bases near the borders of the Soviet Union, since it seized Manchuria two years ago, The Soviet Union, at the same time, ‘in its latest note sharply denies the widely spread allegations of the Jap- anese government that Soviet planes have flown over into any parts of Manchukuo or Korea. The latter denial was in answer to the note sent today by the Japanese government to Moscow “protesting” against the alleged activities of Soviet planes in Manchukuo and Korea. In a highly provocative document, typical of capitalist diplomacy imme- diately prior to imperialist attack, the Japanese governmen* demands “guar- antees” that the Soviet Union will not send “any more” of its planes into Japanese territory. The flimsy nature. of the Japanese allegations, indicative of their delib- erately provocative character, is shown by the fact that even one »f the officials of the Japanese War Of- fice told the press that “he appre- ciated the difficulty of determining whether a plane is on Soviet or Jap~ anese territory.” Manchukuo Ruler’ Calls For Bulwark Against Soviets Puppet of Japanese Im. perialism Calls for Intervention HSINKING, Manchukuo, Feb. 28. ue eo by soldiers with drawn yonets, Henry Pu-Yi today pre- pared to go through with the cere-- mony of enthronement as Emperor of Manchukuo, puppet state of Jap- anese imperialism. From the very first, Pu-Yi has al- ready begun to sound the note of anti-Soviet provocation, as instructed by his Japanese masters. Speaking to the press, he declared: “Is it not worth something to the world that Manchukuo stands at the cross-roads between the So- viet in the Orient, as a, bulwark against the inroads of vist in the Far East?” 4 Two years ago, Japanese imperial. ism seized Manchuria and set up the paper government of the so-called “tndependent” State, Manchukuo.

Not One Economie Plan of Nazis Has Relieved Toilers’ Misery In the first part of this article, on the “balance-sheet of one year of Hitler fascist dictatorship,” pub- lished in yesterday’s Daily Worker, the writer discussed the inner poli- tical situation of the Nazi dictator- ship, the failure of the boasted political unification, the fact that Hitler maintains his power only through methods of permanent civil war, and the growing confitcts within the fascist ruling class, In this second installment, he dis- cusses the economic situation and the Nazi foreign relations.—Editor. et Bae By J. L. balance-sheet of economic pol- icy. in the first year of Hitler's dictatorship is as negative as that of domestic policy. It is characteristic that Hitler dealt at such length in his speech with the “achievement” of dissolving the parties and the trade unions, but skimmed rapidly over economic questions with a few general phrases. Taking as a basis the faked unemployment statistics, he ventured to make the assertion that he had already accomplished one-third of the abolition of unem- ployment promised in his “four-year plan.” He maintained that by the winter of 1933 the number of unem- ployed had decreased from six to four millions. And this although the boastful assertions of Hitler and Goering are flatly contradicted even by the official statistics, which state that the unemployed army has in- creased by another half-million. The Nazi statistics themselves give Hit- ler’s statement the lie. Insurance Funds Fall Off The Nazi statistics state that the contributions paid to the incapacity insurance fund increased from 640 million marks to 670 millions between 1930 and 1933, an increase of 4 per cent; other statistics state that the approximately twelve and one-half millions in employment have been added to by a further two million, or 16 per cent! Another comparison is even more striking. The contri- butions paid to the employees’ in- surance fund amounted to 285 mil- lion marks in 1933, as compared with 288 millions the year before—a fall- ing off! Is it going to be asserted that out of the alleged two million persons newly employed, none of them were employees, office workers? Wage Total Did Not Rise ‘The wages tax statistics, already frequently quoted, prove that the wage income of the people has not increased. But Hitler maintains that the “national income has increased this year!” The Secretary of State, Reinhardt, states that this alleged increase amounts to six millions. Since the income of the toiling masses, of the workers and employees in work and the unemployed, of the small tradesmen and of the small and middle peasants, has not increased, then this statement—if not a pure invention—can only mean that in this year of growing wholesale want and poverty the income of the capi- talists, the junkers and large land- owners, has increased by these six millions. Will the millions of electors who voted for Hitler a year ago re- gard this as a favorable item on his balance-shect? No Help for Peasants Hitler followed up his fraudulent assertions regarding reduction of un- employment by a statement on the alleged “saving of the peasantry.” In this parliament no discussion was al- lowed, and a “consultation” on a law was actually settled under Goering’s leadership in two minutes; but if by which the Nazi government has “saved” the small holders, then even this master of demagogy would have been at a loss for an answer. It is only a few weeks since the State governor of Baden, Wagner, was obliged to reply as follows to a rep- resentative of the “Voelkischer Beo- bachter,” who questioned him as to the effect of the peasant legislation: “On this point I regret to say that our population has not yet recognized the great importance and scope of this law. Special en- lightenmeMt will be necessary in order to make it clear to the peas- ants that their second and third sons too must be provided for... . Besides this, among us the law does not play such an important part as for instance in East Prussia, for among us it is a question of small farms of 10 to at most 15 hectares.” (“Voelkischer Beobach- ter,” 24-1-34.) : This is an open admission that the Nozi legislation, with its entail-farm rights; can only benefit the large farmers if it benefits any at all, but only further increases the misery of the small holder. Foreign Policy Failures Let us in conclusion take a glance at the foreign political balance-sheet of the Hitler government. Hitler and his press have proclaimed the agree- ment with Poland to be a tremendous success. The gentlemen are certain- ly not asking so much as they used to! If Stresemann or Bruening has concluded ae See cet mally recognizing m fron- tiers of Germany and relinquishing the Corridor, the separated territory of Upper Silesia, and Danzig, then the whole pack of Nazi hounds would have howled “high treason.” But now these well- poodles of capital are delighted at the magnifi- cent success of the “peace policy” of anyone had been able to ask the chancellor what were the measures the “people’s charicellor.” This “gov- ernment of the national revolution” if it is left the possibility of terror- izing and pillaging the toiling masses of Germany, of continuing its secret preparations for war, and of plan- Soviet Union. War On U.S.S.R. Is Main Object - Intervention against the Socialist Soviet Republic remains the main ob- ject of the foreign policy of national socialism. But if the improvement of relations between German and Polish fascism is weighed against the restoration of relations between the Soviet Union and the U.S.A., then only a blind man could fail to see that in this sphere too the balance- sheet of German fascism shows a completely negative result. The Nazi government is quite aware that it is plunging forward into ever- increasing and disastrous difficulties. But this is only the more reason for it to increase its brutal terror against the German working class and_ its heroic yanguard, the CP.G. The new labor law is to pave the way for a new rationalization offensive on the part of capital. In view of the in- creased international inflation dump- ing, the German bourgeoisie is of the opinion that the only way for it to maintain its compefitive capacity is to exercise an even stronger pressure on wages and working conditions. ’ Even the associations of the ee ers and employees which are under the direct command of the Nazis ap- pear too dangerous to the capitalist exploiters now dubbed “leaders” by the Nazis. Therefore the next item on the agenda is the final elimina-~ tion of the last remnants of legal or- gan‘zations of the workers. Factory by factory the attack is to be made on the workers, in a similar mannet as that attempted by Papen in 1932.
