Y. : ALgonquin 4-795 4. BY THE 50 E. 13th Steel Workers, Beware of the Roosevelt Maneuvers! HE is being set for President Roosevelt to head off the steel strike personally in the same manner that he headed off the auto strike. From Wash- ington comes the news that Roosevelt is preparing to set up a steel labor board just as he set up the Auto Labor Board. All the forces of the government, the steel corporations and the A. F. of L. officials are iving in that stage direction. The steel workers should recall what happened in the auto industry. There was the same pre- liminary conferences between the a “code author- ity” (the Automotive Manufacturers Association) and the N.R.A. heads. The same “deadlock” existed. Then President Roosevelt came forward and with the help of the A.-F. of L. officials and the auto manufacturers, set up the Auto Labor Board. It was Roosevelt who personally delayed the auto strike, decided on by the auto workers, un- til production had passed its peak. It was Roose- velt who engineered the agreement with the A. F. of L. officials and the employers whereby the right to strike was taken from the auto workers and compulsory “arbitration” of the Labor Board. put in its place. It was Roosevelt who signed the agree- ment whereby the company unions (which the workers are forced to join) were given the back- ing of the Auto Labor Board. And it was Roosevelt who robbed the workers of their demands for union recognition and higher wages, by setting up this compulsory arbitration board. Subsequent events proved that the auto workers had been sold out. They did not get any of their demands. The company unions were brought forward. The busy season was over. Mass layoffs of workers began. The speedup, the low wages, which are far behind the mounting cost of living. remain. These conditions are saddled on the auto workers by the Auto Labor Board. Roosevelt and Johnson are following the same policy to try to maneuver the steel workers out of their demands. In both the auto and steel in- dustry Roosevelt gets the stipport of the A. F. of L. Officials. Mike Tighe, president of the A. F. of L. steel union, is straining every nerve to split the workers’ ranks. But the Committee of Ten, of the A. F. of L. union also, is not carrying out the tasks entrusted to it by the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers (A. F. of L.) convention. In the face of the auto sell-out by Roosevelt, the Com mittee of Ten praises Roosevelt, and calls on him for conferences and boards. The Committee of Ten has not pushed the strike preparations, but in- stead hangs around Washington begging Roosevelt to “intervene.” The stage is now being set. Roosevelt will step in with the Steel Lebor Board. The steel com- panies will finally “concede.” The sellout will be hailed as a victory for the workers. This is the plan to sidetrack the steel workers’ demands. It is a strike-breaking, company union plan. The steel workers have been working under the steel code of the N.R.A—signed and approved by Roosevelt. The rotten conditions which brought about their decision to strike. were brought about by Roosevelt's N.R.A. code. The code has now been renewed by Roosevelt. Since N11 . was introduced by Roosevelt, the company unions have grown, prices have gone up far above wages, and speedup has increased. Roosevelt's steel code, operated by the “code authority’—the employers—is the instrument by which the employers have worsened the condi- tions of the steel workers. The steel workers can get no more out of Roose- velt than the auto workers got. The whole policy of the N.R.A., of the Roosevelt administration, is a strikebreaking, company union policy. Only by their own action, by immediate preparation of united strike action, can the steel workers win their demands, The Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union has called for unity of all steel workers, with joint strike committees in every mill, for the strike preparations. Steel workers! Reject Roosevelt's arbitration, which will rob you of your demands. Elect your own committees to defeat the betrayal moves of the Amalgamated Association (A. F. of L.) leaders! Norman Thomas ‘Explains’ | LL Socialist workers honestly expecting a real revolutionary policy from the new Declaration of Principles adopted at the S. P. Convention will be bitterly dis- illusioned by the latest statement of Norman Thomas, “interpreting” this do- cument. With truly Jesuitical causuistry, Thomas twists and turns with slippery political “explanation” of the new platform. It is impossible not to notice how feverishly Thomas avoids making one single statement that is clear, unencumbered by clauses, by “ifs” and “buts,” and “maybe’s.” As slippery as an eel, and as vague as he can be, he does every- thing possible to side-step a clear firm policy on how he intends to overthrow capitalism. Only two days ago, the New York Times, with prophetic insight, dismissed the new Declaration of Principles as a piece of political manoeuvering whose supposed revolutionary intentions would be quickly watered down “not to mean much, by metaphysical discussion.” With incredible speed its prophecy has been fufilled. ws “it revolutionary struggle against capitalism, was it a program leading to the destruction of the capitalist state power that the honest Socialist workers thought they were getting? Norman Thomas hastens to disillusion them of any such notions. Precisely as before, Thomas states, under the Declaration of Principles, the Socialist Party is committed to “seek power by economic and political * * * & : organization and by the ballot. . . party to use democratic methods. These are the- methods for the overthrow of the of the legality es- another way of leadership pledges Cal it obligates the s t st press in his state- P. | ip will “change the sys- tem. -by rethods which do not compel a resort to wholesale violence or dictatorship.” ng at?

Thomas states that the S. P. will overthrow capitalism IF it does not have to use violence or set up a dictatorship, IF the capi- talist system faces a “complete collapse,” IF it has already achieved power by the ballot, IF the “or- ganization of the workers makes it practicable* and IF “otherwise” they are able to . . . establish order and create conditions of true democracy.” “Metaphysics” warned the New York Times? this is metaphysical trickery with a ven- geance! This is the pettifoggery of a political char- latan who knows very well that he has not the slightest intention of ever leading the masses in revolutionary struggle for the overthrow of capital- ism, but who will, on the contrary, exert all his powers to block the final, revolutionary smashing of the capitalist state power. The treachery of such leaders is not something to speculate on. It is a certainty, * * . 'VERY honest Socialist worker, every honest per- son who signed the Manfesto of the Revolution- ary Policies Committtee, thinking that this Com- mittee was really pledged to fight for a revolu- tionary program, must now face the fact that neither the leaders of this Committee nor the Nor- man Thomases have the slightest intention of changing the fundamentally reformist line of the Socialist Party, whatever words they use, and that they will inevitably betray the revolutionary strug- gle for the smashing of capitalism. There is only one path that leads to the revo- lutionary overthrow of capitalism. It is the path of Bolshevism, the path of the Communist Party. The Communist Party urges and welcomes all Socialist workers to join hands with it in the fight for Soviet Power, the only fight that can have any meaning to the American working class seek- ing to rid itself of the yoke of capitalist wage slavery, “Taming” the Bulls and Bears gabe Roosevelt signed the much-touted Stock Exchange Control Bill. There have been tons of White House publicity proclaiming that this bill makes Roosevelt the “tamer of the Bulls and Bears” of Wall Street. And all the capitalist and “liberal” press has faithfully echoed the cry. This is just another of those Roosevelt frauds that are becoming so frequent that they have be- come the hallmark of the Roosevelt government. The Roosevelt Stock Exchange Bill is nothing but the regulation of the speculations of the Wall Street capitalists for the sole purpose of making this speculation more efficient and smooth-running. Not one single Wall Street banker will have to stop c ng his profits, not one single speculator will have to cease making fortunes on the sweat and labor of others. And that Wall Street knows it very well is illus- trated by the comment in the Wall Street Journal of the lawyer for the Association of Stock Ex- change Firms, who stated yesterday: “There should be little or no fear or appre- hension. Out of an experience gained in my con- tacts in Washington with the proponents and sup- porters of the Bill, there has come to me the conviction that it will be wisely and fairly ad- ministered and that its administration will ul- timately allay all fear.” So Wall Street is wise to the fact that the Roose- velt Stock Exchange Bill means nothing in its merty life of profit-making. The Bureau of Better Business has just re- ported that 12 months of the Roosevelt Securities Act of 1933 has not resulted in one single action on the pert of the government against any stock swindling. On the contrary, the Roosevelt inflation pro- gram, his dollar devaluation, his credit program to the banks, his crop destroying program, has given the Wall Street speculators the fattest year of profits since 1929, with brokerage houses clearing up almost a billion in one year. And is there any significance in the fact that Roosevelt's son-in-law, Dahl, is one of the chief officers of the Wall Street Stock Exchange? They Got Quick Action TINY item, buried away in the col- umns of the capitalist press, an- nounces that General Johnson has signed an order cutting the wages of miners in five states, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Alabama. The coal operators asked for a wage cut below the level set by the code. And John- son gladly granted their request. The miners get the cut immediately. The bosses’ request “won almost immediate” action, states the New York Times. What a contrast this is to the way Johnson and the whole Roosevelt N.R.A. government acts when it is the workers who want an increase in wages! Then Johnson rushes furiously to set up barbed- wire obstacles of fake “arbitration boards.” Then Roosevelt and the whole government begin trickery, threats, and, finally send troops against the work- ers who dare to ask a few cents an hour more in wages, To cut wages—that is easy for the N.R.A. To raise wages above the starvation level? The N.R.A. mobilizes the whole government against it. In this is the best reason why the working class has to unite its forces against the whole N.R.A. strike-breaking, wage-cutting machinery, ae Halt Anti- Hitler | Propaganda | Austrian Press Admits) | German Communist Party Is Growing VIENNA.—A_ Ww! of Communist propaganda, organ- ization and. activity, penetrating even the ranks of the Storm Troop- ers in Germany is admitted here by the leading Vienna paper, the ‘Neue Wiener Journal.” | This newspaper writes: result of the discontented here is a terrifying growth “ommunist propaganda in Ger- |many.

The previous Cabinet, which was constituted December 17, 1932, was a Coalition of Liberals, Socialists, and Catholics. The Catholics (in- cluding the Christian Democrats) held 79 seats in the Chamber, the Socialists 73, and the Liberals 24. The Cabinet resigned after two defeats. In the first the Liberals fought the Government relief bill claiming it was too high. The second government defeat. was on a proposed measure facil- itating deportation proceedings which was lost by 80 to 74. $15,000,000 FOR WAR EQUIPMENT HAVANA, June 7.—The Cuban government will spend at least By Burck; Frazier Hunt Admits China Soviets Supported by Masses NEW YORK.— Answering af- firmatively the question, “Will 400,- 000,000 Chinese Go Communist?” Frazier Hunt, famous capitalist world correspondent, in a special feature article in the current issue of the magazine “Liberty,” tells of | the tremendous advance of the| Soviet districts in China. “By the million,” he writes, “the peasants of the Yangtze Valley swept behind these Red banners of revolt.” Mr. Hunt interviewed Generalis- simo Chiang Kai Shek in Hankow, where that tool of the imperialist bandits in China is conducting the anti-Communist war. “In a hospital in Hankow,” he re- lates, “I talked with a Chinese Na- tionalist colonel wounded in fight- ing the elusive Red battalions. ‘We can do little against them,’ he told me. ‘The masses of the people are Report Soviet Union Appoints Surita, Jew, As Envoy to Germany BERLIN, June 7—When ques- tioned on the appointment of Jacques Z.

The Jewish question does not exist for us.” Ambassador Surita is expected to take over )iis post in August. FRENCH NAVY FUNDS PARIS, June 6.—The Navy claims $55,000,000 of the new appropria- tions demanded for national defense, Francois Pietri, Minister of the Navy told the Chamber yesterday. Forty million dollars will go to the construction of underground oil storage tanks safe from bombing; $10,000,000 to naval aviation; and $5,000,000 to coast defense which in- cludes, it was learned, a new 26,500 ton cruiser, a submarine and a torpedo boat. $15,000,000 for military equipment next year it was revealed today, and the Secretary of Defense added that Cuba will purchase 12 gunboats. with them.

It is at least a picture to contemplate.” Steelhelmet, Storm Troop Rift Growing Differences Particularly Sharp in Pomerania BERLIN, (By underground mail route).—he differences between the Nazi S, A. (Storm Troops) and the Steelhelmet organization have he- come particularly sharp in the Prussian province of Pomerania, because the numerical relations be- tween Storm Troops and Steelhel- met members is much more favor- able to the latter than in the other parts of the country. These clashes have now reached a high point by the arrest of the provincial leader of the Steel Helmet organization, Degelov and his assistant, Bucholz. The Storm Troops are now also using the radio in this struggle. The press director of the Nazi Reich ‘Youth Leadership Staebe will speak on the radio on this struggle, under the tile: “Against reactionaries, kill- joys and squawkers.” He is sched- uled to speak at a mass meeting in Magdeburg on “Just one word, gentlemen of the reaction.” The Steel Helmet organ, however, is continuing its attacks and states that the Steel Helmet organization has not declared itself for any per- son, any system of government, any political doctrine or any particular way of looking at things. These statements of the Stecl Helmet paper have caused new furious at- tacks on it by Staebe. French Groups Join In Fight Against — War and | Fascism : Women’s "World Con- | gress Receives Pledge from Paris | PARIS,—A number of leading trade union and cultural organiza- tions have sent in notice of their affiliation to the Women’s World Congress Against Imperialist War and Fascism, Among the French organizations the Unitary Union of Civil Servants, the Unitary Trade Union, Federation of Paris, the Unitary Textile Workers Union, the Women’s Association Against War and Poverty, the Workers’ Theatri- cal Association of France, the Na- tional Women’s Suffrage League; the presidents of these organiza- tions express their enthusiastic sup- port of the Women’s World Con- gress in their letters to its commit- tee. The National Council of Peace, | whose secretary is the former Dep- uty Lucien Le Foyer, writes to the Preparatory Committtce: We congratulate you cordially on the great struggle which you are undertaking against war, poverty, and fascism. . . . All the friends of justice and humanity must as- semble their powers whilst there is yet time to speak and to act. War may become a fact overnight. Hence our organization deems it an honor to join your organization and to support your work.” Police Kill Railway Strikers in Colombia BAGOTA, Colombia, June 7— Several strikers and one policeman were killed in Medellin yesterday, when workers clashed with the police during a strike of 12,000 rail- way and municipal workers. The clash occurred when police at- tempted to move a train and street cars. Workers at Puerto Berrio, on the Antioquia Railway terminal, went out on a sympathy strike. BOMBS EXPLODE IN HAVANA HAVANA, June 7.—One died and six were wounded by bombs that, burst in the night, the government announced today. British Health Officer Admits Country Faces a Calamity By RALPH FOX Author of “Lenin” IN A PAPER read before a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, Sir John Megaw, Director of Public Health in India, has communicated some of the results of his recent wide-scale inquiry into the health of the Indian villagers. In 1931 the death-rate in India was 25 per 1,000, as compared with 12 in England. The infant mortality rate was 179, as against 65 in Eng- land. The expectation of life of a child boin in India is about half that of a child born in England. Sixty per cent of the village population, says Sir John, are postly or badly nourished. “Scar- city or famine had occurred at some time during the previous ten years in 22 per cent of the villages surveyed.” Think .what this means, over a fifth of the population, 70,000,000 human beings. have felt famine during the last ten years! Sir John’s conclusion is as fol- lows: “The evidence goes to show that India has already reached a 70,000,000 in India Suffer Famine Conditions stage at which reproduction is in- creasing more rapidly than produc- tion. so that a close parallel exists with the conditions existing in Ire- land a century ago.” Sir John re- fers to the period of the “hungry forties” when the population of Ireland was more than halved by starvation, disease and forced emi- gration. Britain has weathered the finan- cial crisis so far by restocking hei depleted gold reserves with gold squeezed out of India. The few gold ornaments were once the In- dian peasant’s only reserve against natural calamities, famine, pesti- lence or earthquake. They are gone now. “We used to blame the people of India,” admits Sir John, “for hoarding gold. but it looks as if the sale of these hoards had been staving off the evil day during the past two years.” He fears that the next big fail- ure of the monsoon will bring an all-India calamity. “The couniry is in a state of emergency which is passing rap- idly toward one of crisis.” oC we is clear that the growth of population has already begun to outstrip the increase in the produc- tion of the necessities of life so that even low standards of eco- “ ® nomic life must inevitably become still lower unless some economic change is brought about. “The outlook for the future,” Sir John continues, “is gloomy to a degree, not only for the masses of the people who must face the in- tensified. struggle for bare sub- sistence, but also for the upper classes whose incomes depend on the production of surplus crops and other commodities. “If the entire produce of the soil is needed to provide fer the urgent need of the cultivators nothing will be left for payment of rent cr revenue . and the whole secial structure of India must invitably be rudely shaken if not completely destroyed.” Rae ew IR JOHN has no illusions. It is the social system of India, squeezing rent, interest and taxes out of the peasant by brutal meth- ods of feudal violence and police terror which is responsible. “Some economic change,” to use his words, must be brought about. Some people claim that here is only a question of over-rapid growth of population (in the last ten years the population has grown by 35,009.000), But the population of England increased much more rapidly dur- Imperialist. Rule Is the Cause of Spreading Starvation ing the last century. In 1800 it was 9,000,000, in 1900 about 35,000,000, today it is 40,000,000 to 42,000,000. In England, however, the main growth took place when the forces of production in the country were being rapidly developed by growing | capitalism. In India, British imperialism has destroyed the forces of poduction. Out of their own mouths the British rulers stand condemned. Only a complete revolution which destroys feudalism root and branch, which gives land to the peasant, relieves him of rent. interest and taxation, can avert the catastrophe predicted by Sir John Megaw. The first condition of such a revolution is ihe overthrow of British rule. which maintains these conditions of mass murder, starva- tion and disease. The Bombay tex- tile strike, the herald of the All- India general strike, shows that the leadership of this revolt is being forged by the heroic workers of In- dia.

On another section of this page the Daily Worker publishes an article on fame ine in India, which during the past ten years has affected 70,000,- 000 people, and now threatens the whole of India. Since this article was written the drought has dee stroyed the Indian peasants’ crops just as it did in 30 states in this country.

Under the camouflage of a lecture on fascism, Goeb- bels will visit Poland in order to talk over the anti-Soviet war front. We have just received a report of the recep- tion given to the Nazi Goering on a similar visit recently to Athens, Tremendous indignation was aroused, not only among the work+ ers, but in the middle class press. The newspaper “Anarxartikos” made a sharp attack on both Hitler and Goering during the latter's visit. “Anyone found following me should ue his gallows with him!” was. he caption below a caricature of \Goanne carried by this paper. The same paper reported the extraor- dinary measures taken by the po- lice to protect Goering from the population. He was kept surrounded “as if he had the plague.” At every turn, the Nazi hangman met workers’ demonstrations shouting, “Down with fascism!” “Free our brave Comrade Thaelmann!” aie tae 8 IST yesterday we dealt with the new bomb of inflation about to burst in Fascist Germany. Still more alarming news is contained in the latest dispatches and cables from Germany about the currency situation, but the American capi- talist press relegates these facts to its financial page. The threat- ened collapse of the whole financial system of Fascist Germany is fur- ther upsetting the instability of the finances of England, Switzerland and Holland. The New York Times reports that financial circles in Paris, in view of the threatened col- lapse of the whole Nazi financial apparatus, “gently suggested the Hitlerite regime might collapse with it.” While Mr. Norman Thomas waits for a convenient collapse of the cap- italist system, so that, “if” it comes about, the workers may appeal to him to take the responsibility and to please govern for them, the Com- munist Party of Germany is not as optimistic as the Paris Bourse that the Hitler regime might collapse with its currency.

From far Ya- kutsk, in eastern Siberia, the news is telegraphed to Moscow that even Yakutia hopes in the near future to solve the grain problem. In this territory, 70 degrees North Latitude, the population formerly picked at the earth and fed mainly on the sapwood of pine trees. Though the winters are long and cold, there is a short, hot summer., In 1922, Yekutia sowed in all 67,000 acres, the chief food of the population being meat and fish. In 1931 this had grown to 128,000, and in the following year, as collective farming spread, to 188,000 acres. This year they are sowing 208,000 acres, of which 188,000 is Spring grain. The Soviet Little Encyclopedia, published in 1930, says of the Kolima Valley in the Yakutia area where grain is now being sown: “Agriculture here is impossible. In the southern parts some gardening is possible.” Today grain is pro- duced in this area, and the potatoes are of a very high yield. ‘TERDAY a united front coun= ter-demonstration to one ar- ranged by the British Hitler, Sir Oswald Mosley, was organized by the Communist Party and the Lon- don Divisional Council of the Ins depnedent Labor ray. at Olympia.
