By Carrier year, $9.00; MAY 17, 1934 THURSDAY, Force Congressional Action Against Terrorism! E HAVE made the first step in the ) fight to force Cons to open a Na- tion-wide investigation into the reign of terror that has already taken a toll of more than 10 workers’ lives in the strike areas of Alabama and the Pacific Coast. The introduction of the Lundeen reso- Jution calling for a Congressional investigation into this wave of killings unleashed against strikers fighting the N.R.A. starvation codes is testimony to the immense mass hatred that is rising against the capitalist murderers. Congress can no longer ig- nore the force of the country-wide indignation at these cold blooded slayings. The working class in forcing the Lundeen reso- Jution has won a victory in its fight against the present wave of ruling class terrorism. This is not to overlook the fact that Lundeen’s resolution itself is weak in its failure to call for sufficient appropriations, and still more serious, fails to place the blame for the murders squarely where it belongs, at the door of the Federal and State Governments. It is not only the private thugs of the Wall Street monopolies who murder strikers with impunity. It is the organized, official police-military forces of the Government that are involved in the murder and suppression of strikes, either through direct participation or through tacit protection of the private thugs. Nevertheless, Lundeen’s resolution must be pressed forward onto the floor of Congress for ac- tion. Congress must be forced to turn the flood- lights of publicity on the savage brutalities that now mark the defense of the N.R.A.-Roosevelt codes against the resentment of the hungry workers. The Wall Street employers, the ruling class are now letting loose all the violence of their dicta- torship against the working class. Now the strike of the oppressed, starving, exploited workers, brings them face to face with the brutal, violent dic- tatorship of the capitalist State. The fight of the Alabama and marine strikers is the fight of the whole toiling population of the country against a swiftly advancing fascist terrorism. Every supporter of civil liberty, every honest hater of reaction and fascist violence against the working class should join in letting Congress know that the Lundeen resolution must be acted upon immediately. All working class organizations, unions, meetings, should immediately wire the local Congressmen de- manding action of the Lundeen resolution. Fight the advance of fascist terrorism! Demand that the murderers of workers be brought to trial for murder! Support the Alabama and Pacific Coast strikers against the thugs and murderers! Mass Struggle Can Defeat | Jim-Crowism HE attempts of the ruling class to smash the growing unity of Negro and white workers as a prerequisite for the crushing of their rising struggles against the “New Deal’ slavery is meeting with growing mass resistance throughout the country. This is shown in the splendid solidarity of the striking Alabama Negro and white miners; in the successful action of Cleveland workers against the Mills Restaurant, which forcibly evicted the Scotts- boro mother, Mrs. Ada Wright, and Leo Gallagher, International Labor Defense attorney, who went to her defense; and in the victory of the tenants of 425 E. 6th St., New York City, in forcing the Emi- grant Industrial Savings Bank to retreat on its at- tempt to evict Cyril Briggs and enforce racial segre- gation in its 6th Street building. The mass fight against racial segregation and jim-crow attacks on the Negro people, has received additional impetus this week with the rallying of white workers of the Bronx to the defense of 14 Negro families who have been ordered to vacate their homes at 1638-40 University Avenue, Bronx. In Cleveland, white and Negro workers are fol- lowing up their victory in forcing the Mills Res- taurant to serve Negroes by a mass campaign for the passage of an anti-Jim Crow ordinance in that city, and have forced its introduction into the City Council. The victories won by Cleveland and New York workers in the struggle against Jim-Crowism and segregation should serve as an inspiration and ex- ample to all workers to broaden out and spread this struggle. These victorious actions attest the cor- rectness of the Communist program aud the pos- sibility of winning the white workers to the defense of the Negro masses. They show further that pro- letarian solidarity can beat back the attacks of the ruling-class, directed against the entire working- class and with special ferocity against the Negro masses. The Roosevelt Hunger and War Budget IHE latest Roosevelt message to Con- gress and the Roosevelt “Relief Bud- get” mark a new attack upon the unem- ployed, upon the workers and poor and middle farmers. Asking for sweeping powers in its ad- ministration, Roosevelt has allocated new millions for war preparations and slashed the relief budget by half a billion dollars in the face of increasing need and a constantly growing army of unemployed. Supplementing the budget asked for in his message to Cong*ass on January. 3, 1934, the $1,322.000,000 which Roceg yesterday asked of Congress, while ignoring the Pijght of the unem- ployed and poor and middle farmers, saddles an in- creased load on the backs of the American workers, increasing the Roosevelt war budget to $31,834,000,- 000 on June, 1935. This breaks the war-time records of 1917-1919 of twenty billions! reviously proposed relief expendi- 1h , the latest Roosevelt of millions to be directly preparations—two hundred ” for earmarke: and eighty-five millions to train youth for war in war ic Ci naval n Conservation Corps, forty construction in line with the the mili millions for | Roosevelt plans to build the largest war fleet in the | world, forty-eight millions for the Tennessee Valley Authority, the chief purpose of which is to manu- facture nitrates, five millions for the Inter-American military highway by which Yankee imperialism will tighten its grip upon the subject Latin-Amer- ican nations. Of what remains of this one and a third billions, after all the graft, corruption, inefficiency and use- less expenditures, will be allocated for “relief” until sometime in 1935. Since the abandonment of C. W. A., federal relief expenditures haye been slashed to less than one-quarter of C. W. A. expenditures. Notwith- standing this greatly reduced expenditure, the relief needs today are greater than a year ago. In a re- port published on May 9, the Department of Com- merce stated: “The exhaustion of individual re- sources, together with the demobilization of C. W. A. workers, has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of families on relief, which on April 1 (the date of the end of C. W. A.) is estimated to be larger than a year ago.” By this very statement of the federal government, a minimum of four and one-half million families are dependent upon federal relief, and relief funds of ninety millions a month are being expended. By the new Rooseyelt budget, even this figure, which is less than one-quarter of C. W. A. expenditures, will be further reduced. Here then is the face of the Roosevelt's “re- covery budget”: Interest to the Wall Street bank- ers 742 millions; Army and Navy 800 millions; Agricultural Administration (to finance the de- struction of crops and to be paid to the plantation owners) 515 millions; military highways, tax re- funds, gifts to bankers and industrialists, ete.— an elaborate machine to provide more profits to the Wall Street monopoly capitalist groups. It All Depends On Who Kidnaps Whom HE crime of kidnapping is a hideous one. It has its roots deep in a society whose dominating force is the accumulation of profit, of grabbing money. In a society like this, a capitalist society, where the success of a man, where the course and purpose of his life are determined by the amount of cash he can accumulate, crime for profit is as inevitable as malaria in an infested tropic swamp. In the last few weeks there was a kidnapping case of which the capitalist press wag wholly silent, the case of Frank Norman, International Labor De- fense organizer in Florida, Norman was seized by deputies, flung into a car, and sped toward the terrible Florida swamps. A shot was heard. Since then the fate of Norman has been shrouded in darkness. Here was no circulation-building thrill on the fate of a millionaire. Here was no profitable, jour- nalistic “sensation.” Just a plain, every-day, ruling class murder of a working class organizer fighting the hunger lash of the Florida plantation masters. In such brutal crimes, the capitalist press shows no interest, no indignation, It keeps its well-trained mouth shout. 'HE crime of kidnapping is not confined to the criminal scum that infest the capitalist cities. In the capitalist State, in the police, in the Red Squads, in the “patriotic” vigilante gangs, the kid- napping criminal have their best teachers. What of the age-long horror of that favorite kidnapping sport of the Southern landlords, the lynch gang? What of the kidnapping of strike leaders, the flogging of farm organizers in the Northwest? The capitalist class seizes Tom Mooney, or Sacco and Vanzetti and tortures or murders them. That is “justice.” A gang of criminals, stupidly trying to collect some money in order to vie with their more respec- table and richer capitalist neighbors, kidnap a mil- lionaire for ransom. That is a “horrible crime.” But is there any fundamental moral difference between the daily marauding, the daily plunder and robbery, the merciless exploitation of the capitalist class and the crime of crooks also try- ing in their own way to “cash in”? Is there any moral difference, for example, be- tween a Wall Street monopoly like Borden’s Milk Company, which every day literally dooms thou- sands of working class children to death by starva- 6tion for lack of miik in order to maintain profits, and the kidnappers who seized the child Robles for ransom? The little crooks, the petty criminals seize single victims for pin-money. The big crooks, the Wall Street vultures, the “respectable” capitalists rob and doom a whole society to misery, to hunger, to degradation, all for profit, for the huge billions of monopoly profit. Which is the greater menace to humanity? Capitalism is a swamp out of which grows such characteristic weeds as criminal kidnappers. Capi- talism is a moral cancer that infects and poisons with its filth everything that it touches. Gangster- ism, corruption, racketeering, degeneracy—all these are the sores that reveal the rottenness of the whole body of capitalism. In a country like the Soviet Union, where the profit system of exploitation has been exterminated in the fires of proletarian revolution, kidnapping for ransom in unthinkable. Marx somewhere spoke of the “moral necessity” of revolution. The filth of kidnapping crime only confirms his words. The capitalist press strikes the poses of in- dignation at the crooks who try to get rich at the expense of some successful capitalist exploiter. But are they not all reeking with the same filth, the kidnappers, the kidnapped millionaire, and the capitalist press, the filth of mercenary rapac- ity, of prostitution, of money-grabbing, of lies, crookedness, and servility to the idol of wealth? \Join the Communist Party ' 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N.

Due to the intensification of the | agrarian crisis, following the Nazi | land acts, favoring the rich land- owners, thousands of workers andj peasants have been fleeing to the| * cities.

PRAGUE, fzechoslovakia, May 16.— Czechoslovakian newspapers here report agrarian workers in large numbers are fleeing from the farms to the city to escape the miserable conditions imposed on them by the Nazis. The flight of the agricultural workers into the cities can be explained by the fact that those workers transported to the farms to work as farm hands are forced | to labor under unusually hard conditions, slaving for the kulaks and land barons. The President of the Bavarian | Agricultural Labor Bureau pub- lished an appeal pointing out that the flight of the agrarian work- | ers is “a danger to the fight on| unemployment and that the gov-| ernment will fight against it) with all possible means.” Factory owners are warned not! to hire any one running away from the village, and by this means “to discontinue the unde- sirable influx of population into cities and in the factories.” The unemployed who are forced to carry “voluntary” labor con- scription, are strictly forbidden to return back to the city. The National-Socialist Ober - President of Silesia, Brukner, openly declared: “A farmer who permits unemployed who worked for him as a conscript laborer to return back to the factory instead of having him remain on the farm is useless.” The president of the regional directors of Labor of Southwestern Germany ordered all former agra- rian workers or those workers able to go back to farm work not to be accepted on any public work. The Burgermeister of Stutgart, Zigloch declared that of 18,000 un- employed in Stutgart not-one will- ingly consented to go to the farm. | And yet 1,600 unemployed in the form of “All German assistance to farmers” and 500 in the form) of “Stutgart assistance to farms,” were sent to farms. Zigloch frankly declared: “Since nobody wants to go vol-| untarily, it is necessary to apply force.” Women, too, are trans- ported to the villages to do forced labor. | | 7 uth Groups Unite For Intl Youth Day HAVERHILL, Mass., May 15.— Various youth organizations in Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill and Amesbury have united to prepare for a demonstration against war and fascism in Haverhill on May 30, National Youth Day.

Our Congress is being held with the active parti- cipation of a delegate from our brother Party, to point out impor- tant tasks in the preparation for the struggle for workers’ and pea- sants’ power in Cuba. It has been with the close cooper- ation of the Party of the United States that our Party has carried on a daily struggle against opportun- ism towards the end of following the line of the Communist Inter- national. The Letter of August, 1931, and the constant relations between both Parties, which have been made even closer by the Congresses held in have served as a means for inter- change of experiences which has made it possible for us to strengthen our line of revolutionary struggle. The Communist Party of the United States and the proletariat of which it is the vanguard, the American working class, have im- portant tasks in relation to the Cu- ban revolution. The oppressed people of Cuba are preparing new and greater struggles toward the es- tablishment of workers’ and pea- sants’ Soviet Power, but this Soviet Power cannot be consolidated unless it is based upon the broadest masses of the toiling population, and un- less we can count on the help of all the enemies of Yankee imperial- ism: the proletariat and the op- pressed Negro people of the United States and the oppressed peoples of South America and the Caribbean. The Second Congress of our Party greets the revolutionary support given by the working class and the 3 p.m. States, at a time when the danger Cleveland and Havana respectively, | of armed Yankee intervention is in- creasing in our country and when the danger of war grows more im- minent every day. Our brother Party faces the task of increasing even more its acts of solidarity, developing even more the struggles of the masses liberated from the treacherous influence of Green, Thomas and Trotskyite betrayers. | Please accept this greeting as a demonstration of the confidence of the Cuban proletariat and peasantry and their vanguard, the Communist Party, in the American revolution- ary movement and in its leader, the Communist Party of the United States.

Discontent is also caused by the fact that the war-crippled. and war- widow pensions are still being cut, although an increase in these pen- sions has been promised in the press and in election meetings as soon as the Nazi government ob- tained power. Another motive for dissatisfaction, is the inadequacy of the lower ranks of leaders, espe- cially within the Labor Front and the Nazi shop organization within | taining Ne aoe factories. “Increased illegal activity is no- ticeable both in propaganda and in organization. In many cases ele-~ ments sent in from outside have been found to be the agents of il- | legal organization work, especially where rigorous police intervention succeeded in seizing all officials of the Party active up to that time. It is, therefore, of particular im- portance to check up on the im- portant Communist officials, at present abroad, of who may en- deavor to re-enter Germany. Tilegal Organizations “Tegal Communist activity again extends to all the fields of Party work, such as Young Communist League, Red Trade Union Opposi- tion, I. L. D.. and most of all, the press. All efforts are being made to rebuild the Party organization, with the courier apparatus playing a very important role in this con- nection. In numerous big cities, especially in Berlin, almost. regu- larly Party circulars and instruc- tions are being issued by illegal in- stitutions calling themselves Cen- tral Committee or District Office. Other illegal Party material, such as, ‘Press Service,’ which deals with current events, a ‘chain letter,’ con- instructions, as well as ‘Information service’ of the Berlin-Brandenburg, I. L.

A speaker at this conference is reported to have said that strike struggles are ex- pected with certainty this spring and that the Communist Party of Germany will then have an op- portunity of increasing its work within the factory. “That the Communists still be- lieve in the success of their move- ment and carry on their activity accordingly, is shown by a report from the Allenstein Secret Police on a meeting of East Prussian Com- munist officials, which took place during the Christmas Holidays in Koenigsberg. This meeting took place in the street and was attended by 15 persons, some of whom had belonged to the Social-Democratic Party of Germany. Ae (Concluded Tomorrow) 6 On the World Front By HARRY GANNES Goebbel’s Boast A Factory Answers Gone, the Fear of God TANDING in the | Reichstag building which his cohorts later burned, chief of lying Nazi propaganda Goebbels, on March, 1933, made a boast which the Gere | man fascists have since been forced to eat. “In fifty years’ time,” bellowed Goebbels, “no man in the world will know any more that Marxism ever existed. The world idea of fascism will march and the Communist Party of Germany will be finished for ever.” Now let’s see about that Herr Goebbels. The well-known Dutch capitalist newspaper of Rotterdam “Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant,” a little more than a year after the Nazi boast, discussing the situation in Germany, editorialized: “The Nazi government has sup- pressed many things: political parties, spiritual freedom, church institutions which their system dees not like, the most elementary conceptions of tolerance, the con- fidence of citizen in citizen. But the thing that suffered least from it is Communism. It seems that in the same degree to which the economic situation in Germany becomes more difficult, the more the fear of Communism is grow- ing in government circles.” Let us take for example the Sie- mens-Schuckert Works, a factory employing 5,000 workers in Berlin which Hitler himself picked out last year after Goebbels’ boast to start his “labor battle” fraud. On May 2nd of this year the overwhel- ming majority of workers demon- strated their opposition to fascism. Out of 5,000 who were entitled to vote in the elections to the “confi- dence council” in the factory, 3,000 refused to touch the ballots; 800 deliberately defaced them with slogans against Hitler and his hang- men; 300 accepted ballots and turned them back blank, as a sign of protest; 400 voted for the revolu- | tionary candidates who risked their | liberty and life to run in the elec- tions; and only 500, or 10 per cent of this “concentration” factory of the Nazis, voted for the Nazi slate, Jane ears 'HE Nazi May Day demonstrations, however, were a test that the Hitler government had occasion to rue. It takes a long time for news to get vast the Nazi bayonets and censorship. We now have, never- | theless, a fairlv accurate balance \sheet of what May Day showed to |the Nazis in Germany. |_ Hundreds of revolutionary May |Day demonstrations were held under the leadership of the Communist Party in Germany, under the very noses of the huge military concen- tration of the Fascists. In the fifth municipal district of Berlin, about 300 working men and women formed a parade and marched from the Strassmannstrasse to the Frank- furter Allee. Communist leaflets were distributed in the ranks of the official Nazi May Day parade. At Mayence, where the chief of police boasted last December, that the last Communist was arrested, Communist leaflets were distributed with lightning speed in the official May Day parade and snatched up \greedily by the workers. The chief of police took his vengeance on the non-existent Communists by ar- resting 150 of them. Right at the Nazi May Day dem- onstration where Hitler spoke, the workers so openly showed thelr. re- sentment, their bitterness and jhatred to the Fascist scoundrels, that the entire world capitalist press, through its correspondents, were forced to admit that they could feel something wrong. Tt is this fact that made the Nazis come out, like infuriated hell- hounds, on May 2nd and institute their new reign of ferocious terror whose first outstanding victim 1s already slated to be our heroic com- tade Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the Communist Party of Germany. ere ee. PACE does not permit here full quotations from the leading world capitalist newspapers on the boomerang of the Nazi May Day. We quote only a few: N. Y. Herald Tribune: “Hitler’s speech was received with lukewarm and scattered applause by his pre- dominantly working-class audi- ence.” London Times: “This year’s manifestation was lukewarm. The Nazi leaders who are listening with, much strained ears, should know that the masses are getting rather tired of repeated marches.” Paris . “Journal”: “Of course the leader's speech was applauded, although one had very much the impression that the tired masses did not al- Ways understand the sveech very well, and were not following the chanceller for the fear of god.” Danish Politiken: “When the min- ister of propaganda Goebbels went to the speaker's tower, he declared that over 2,000.900 had come on the anniversary of the hour in which Hitler proclaimed the grandiose project which is called the Nazi 4- year vlan. If this figure is correct, then the fascist newspapers must have been rather modest in their judgment last year. Goebbels’ voice scunded tired. His. speech was very short. Everybody’s eyes were turned to- ward ... Hitler; but only a few ‘Heil’s’ could be heard. . . When afterwards Nazi Schumann exhorted the public to go home peacefully and orderly, a feeling of restraint seemed to spread. Was that all? Many had been standing in the hot sun since early morning, surely had expected more entertainment, but nething came of it.” The spectre of Communism haunts fascist Germany. The enraged Nazi criminals, impotent to crush it out, are now shrieking for the blood of Ernst Thaelmann. Save himl very } n \ (
