The Roosevelt A.A.A. program had hit mall farmers and their families (the hard enough as them into of the farm population) dri educing their acreage, ng c n doll: drought But who will get most of the re- tors who have mortgages It will go to the rmers who alone can onditions set down by the Roosevelt gov- ernment for those getting relief And what are these conditigns? That the farmers sign up for acreage reduction! The drought is, therefore, being used as a ciub by the Roosevelt government to enforce the A. A. A. re- duction program in the interests of the wealthier farmers. As for cash reiief, for free feed for the starv- ing cattle, and for relief to the stricken families, Roosevelt gives nothing. In addition, the drought is bei: used by the ‘overnment in a heartless, brutal scheme for depopulating the farms, and placing thousands of ruined farmers’ families on the so-called “sub- sistence farms” where the men will have to work their own land and work in the factories as well, thus providing for coolie wages in the factories and bigger profits for the exploiters. With his typical brutality, Roosevelt is using the terrors of the drought to fortify the class po- sition of the mortgage holders and wealthier land- lords. The rest of the farm povulation Re leaves to the ravages of drought, debts, and starvation. The Farmer Relief Bill proposed by the Com- munist Party contains provisions that alone can bring relief to the impoverished farmers. It alone calls for immediate cash relief, cancellation of all mortgage deb The Conference of the United Farmers’ League to be held on June 22 shouid be a focus for rally- ing the stricken farm pepulation for a determined struggle to force the Roosevelt government to grant adequate relief to be administered by the formers themscives. Roosevelt The Same Poisonous Fangs F A JOBLESS or poor worker in New ork City wants to have milk for his kids this summer, he will have to get it by a method known by the repugnant word— charity. He will have to crawl-for it—to prove he cannot afford bottled milk, the price of which was raised cne cent early this week.

LaGuardia and his Tenement House Commissioner, Langdon W. scoffed at workers who demanded immediate action. The tenements still stand, and 670,000 poor families still face death by flames. Then the attack of LaGuardia’s police on work- ers who were holding an anti-Nazi demonstration in Yorkville, meeting to spread their campaign for the freedom of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German Communist Party now facing death in Hitler Germany. And, two weeks ago, LaGuardia’s police attack on jobless workers demonstrating for relief. Finally his conference with the editors of the metropolitan press, in which he revealed his terror plans and urged them to give popular endorsement to further steps in police violence and bloodshed. Now the price of milk is boosted, on the verge of the summer season, when the heat-suffering in- habitants of the slums need cheap milk more than at any time during the year. And the jobless must beg to get loose milk at eight cents a quart! Thi: Mayor, working peopl York, en him in action for ¥.

Fletcher, and adopted its new Congressional platform. It is getting its organizational lines ready for the elec- tions. But does this mean that the opposition of the Republican Party to Roosevelt is en opposi- tion to the Wall Steel policies of Roosevelt, that pi Republican Party is opposed to the advance of reacticn that stems right out of the Reose- gram?

They are both the wings of the Wall Street vulture. And the Socialist Party, in the interests of capitalism too. The masses, who have been plundered by the N.R.A., and who are eager to fight it, will be trapped and tricked if they follow the “opposition” of the Republican Party. For the Republican Party will continue the Wall Street program of Roosevelt with equal fidelity and ruthlessness The Communist Party alone boldly proclaims its enmity to the entire Wall Street program of the government, whether administered by Repub- lieams, Democrats or Socialist The fight against the Roosevelt ean only be a cl fight, its own way, serves N.R.A. slavery waged on revolutionary the destruction of the whole profit eading to Nazis inN ew York Harbor JIGILANT and timely action by the In- ternational Labor Defense in New York snatched Theodore Eggaling, Ger- man seaman of the “Albert Ballin,” Ham- burg-America liner, from certain behead- ing in Fascist Germany. Eggaling was arrested by Mayor LaGuardia’s police after Nazis in Yorkville beat up several anti-Fascist workers who. were walking peacefully past a Nazi beer-hall dive. Eggaling, a German citizen, through the help of the New York police and officers of the Nazi steam- ship company, was shanghaied on board the ship. He was chained ina cell on ship board very much as the Nazi butcher Hitler has chained Ernst Thael- mann to the foul lungeon in Moabit prison. Even after the I.L.D. attorneys, Sol Cohen and Joseph Brodsky, obtained a Federal writ of habeas corpus, the Nazi ship officials refused to release their prey. The LL.D. attorneys stood their ground and it was only seconds before the ship was sched- uled to sail that they succeeded in saving Eggaling from the death that the Nazi madmen are plot- ting for Ernst Thaelmann and other anti-fascist fighters. The excuse given by the Nazi ship officials for chaining Eggaling to the ship's cell assumes that every reader of American papers is either a fool or an idiot. “Eggaling wes returned to the liner,” said a Hamburg-American Line official to the New York Times, “as a humanitarian move as he could speak no English.” But the militant American workers, caring not at all whether Eggaling spoke English or not, through their defense organization, the LLD., cheated the Nazi butchers of their victim, the sea- man, Ezgaling. Only world protest, only the broadest united front action, only the consiantly increasing demand of all forces against the Fascist murderers will save that other seaman, now tortured in the Nazi prisons, Ernst Thaelmann. Continue and broaden the fight ageinst fascism. Save Thaelmann and deal a blow to bloody fascism! Organize the Steel Strikes Noe in all the history of the class struggle in the United States has there been such a concentration of forces, such a series of maneuvers to prevent a strike as have now been brought into play by the government and the employers to prevent the steel strike which the workers have decided on. The armed forces of the government and the steel companies are openly preparing. The U. §&. Steel and other companies are building barbed wire entanglements, arranging sleeping quarters inside the plants, cook tents, new gates, ete. In the steel towns, police are being given dally drills in fear gas throwing, clubbing and the art of attacking strikers. The National Guard troops are being drilled. The forces of the federal as well as the local gov- ernments are feverishly active. Johnson, N. R. A. head, confers with the Iron and Steel Institute, which is the N. R. A. code authority (leading steel manufacturers). Madame Perkins confers with the labor faker of N. R..A., McGrady. Roosevelt sets the stage for his personal appearance. The steel company heads meet.day and night concocting state- ments. against union recognition. Senator Wagner confets with the A. F. of L. officials. All of these federal government officials admittedly steer toward one goal—a steel labor board similar to the Auto. laber board to prevent the strike. The Committee of 100 of the Pittsburgh district is spending thousands of dollars on propaganda against the coming strike. Huge advertisements in the papers contain slogans “Strikes do not pay.” Workers are terrorized inside and outside the mill. * wane | pinata the mills the company unions have taken “strike votes.” The company agents ‘ell the workers beforehand that there is not going to be any strike, and that if they favor strike they will be blacklisted. One hundred and sixteen were fired in Weirton alone after such a “strike vote.” The McKeesport Chamber of Commerce, backed by the NRA. local officials, sends a delegation of “steel workers” to Washington against the strike. All these forces join in singing the “red: scare” refrain, telling the workers that Roosevelt is their friend and that the Communists and “outside agi- tators” are spreading the sinister propaganda of unified strike action for the steel workers’ demands. The steel trust agents within the labor move- ment work overtime to split up the workers, sabo- tage strike preparations and prevent the strike. Mike Tighe, the notorious strikebreaking president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, after months of agitation against the strike, now tries to take over the strike leadership in order to behead it. The Committee of Ten hetrays the trust of the A. A. convention which elected it, praises Roosevelt and the -A., calls for arbitration led by Roosevelt himself. It hangs around Washing- ton, leaving the workers to make their own strike preparations, The Committee of Ten rejects the unity proposal of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union and instead praises the strike- breaker Tighe. The steel workers, in the face of these united forces of the steel trust, must unite at once in their strike preparations. They should establish, in every mill, joint strike committees inside the mill to conduct the strikes. They must go over the heads of the treacherous Tighes, of the betray- ing Committee of Ten and establish fighting unity on the basis of an elected joint strike committee of which they are to have an effective struggle. Especially must the workers inside the Amal- gamated Association organize their rank and file oppositions to the Tighe machine and to the maneuvers ef the Committee of Ten.

This paper states, in part: “With obvious worry the whole world, and foremost the Catholic world is following the events which are happening in Germany, covered by a thick veil. The Third Reich is going through a very serious crisis in the religious, social, economic and financial field. One cannot any longer deny that a tremendous change has taken place in the atti- tude of the broad masses.” The “Massbode” then reports than. within less than six months 25,000 members of the Storm Troops weré brought into concentration camps and jails or expelled from the or- | ganization. The Storm Troops are becoming more and more unreliable. “A very sharp undertone is heard against the people in one organiza- tion—something that would cause ‘ot known that in the ranks of the Storm Troops and of the Defense Corps (a selected elite of reliable Nazi pretorians) Communist inclinations are growing rapidly and that well-informed opinion has it that at least one- third of the Elite troops are out- spokenly Communist and even revo- lutionary Communist.” The article closes: ‘We really have enough with one Russia; nobody in Europe wishes or can wish the out- break of a second Russia on our continent which weuld deliver all Europe to the terrible dangers of Bolshevism,” The Paris “Temps” writes in an article under the caption “The Diplomacy of the Third Empire”: “The internal situation in Germany is far from being as favorable, as the comments of the leaders make it appear. The National-Socialist government has to face problems becoming more difficult from day to day. In spite of the existing con- straint, the disillusion and disatis- faction break through.

MUNCH-PETERSEN | years ago, there was estab-| lished in Denmark the first social-democratic government. For five years, Denmark has now the second Stauning-government, to the complete satisfaction of the Danish! bourgeoisie. This is a coalition gov-! ernment, but the large majority is! composed of social-democrats, and! minister of state Stauning is their leader. When the government is too thor- | oughly exposed for the betrayal of | the working class, these social-fas- | cists have always a good excuse: the | government has a majority only ih | the second chamber (Folketinget), but in the first chamber (Land- stinget) the majority consists of two bourgeois parties, the “Party of the Big Landowners” and the “Con- servative Popular Party.” According to social-democratic propaganda, this reactionary major- ity is the cause of all evil. The social democracy has done every- thing the Danish bourgeoisie urged it to do, and the sccial-democratic leaders share with the capitalists the responsibility for all the fascist measures of the government. There was no workers’ opposition in the parliament until November, 1932, when the Communist Party almost quintupled its votes and sent two Communist deputies into the parliament. The upsurge of the revolutionary , Movement and the opposition of the workers end small farmers in Den- mark in connection with the coming | into power of the fascists in Ge many has led the bourgeoisie to de- | mand from its government stronger measures against the revolutionary movement 5 Veen of Social. Pisnecriiic Gavi in ‘Denmark: And the social-democratic leaders also drew lessons from the events in Germany and endeayored above all to fulfill their task better than did their social-fascist brethren in Germany, and to show to the bour- geoisie that it would be much more to their advantage to leave them their part in the state apparatus. And this is why the social-demo- cratic government of Denmark, un- der the fake slogan: Fight against Nazism and Communism, ushers in a whole assortment of fascist meas- ures: depreciation of the currency, legal destruction of cattle, now up to more than 200,000 heads, higher duties and indirect taxes. These measures artificially raised the prices of meat, sugar, coffee, butter, margarine, wheat and other neces- sities. So it happens that Danish butter. cost twice as much in Copen- hagen as in London. This policy increased the profit for the ‘big landowners, while the industrialist magnates were sup- | ported by the state through subven- tions supposed to “set production gcing.” It is true, the parliament was compelled to spend millions for un- employment relief, but for the in- dividual unemployed the relief was cut, and the government increased the power of the whole hostile wel- fare organization. The social-democratic leaders ful- fill their most important task, as the main social support of the bour- geoisie, by doing their utmost through the trede unions which they dominate to hinder the work- ing class from going over to counter— aitacks against the bourgeoisie. Here they use the important argu-| ment that the workers must have a regard for “taeir own govern- ment.” The social-demecratic gov- ernment has made use of all pos- sible means to prevent labor strug- gies against the eapitalists. IN January, 1933, the government prolonged by law the existing Wage agreements and forbade all strikes during the ensuing year. But in fact, wages and relief were heavi- ly cut during this period. All labor disputes are settled by compulsory arbitration. The strike of 90 per cent of the seamen, observing all the intricate legal formalities, was declared illegal. When the seamen went on strike nevertheless, the government used all possible means to break the strike, to prevent the solidarity of o'her workers, and to protect the strike-breakers. When the perfectly “legal” strike of the butchers and packinghouse workers threatened to deliver a heavy blow to Denish capitalism, the strike wa3 ended by a law creating a special court and compulsory arbi‘ration, and without gaining their demands, the workers were ordered to return to the factories. The government intends to con- , tine along these lines. At the Gen- eral Congress of the Federation of Danish Unions, Stauning delivered 2 speech pointing out the necessity of following a policy cf national autarchy, self-sufficiency, and to “socialize,” that is to say, “co- ordinate” the trade unions in the interest of the “whole of society.” Stauning adorns this policy with terms like “planned economy,” and “road to socialism,” and facilitates the aim of the fascists. He called all workers who do not belong to the reformist trade unions and the secial-democracy traitors and ene- mies who must be crushed. As a matter of fact, the govern- ment ures all means to erven the coppos'tion among the toiling masses and the revolutiona:y movement with the help of police clubs and the courts. After the strike of the seamen, there were proceedings pending against the - opposition trade union, based on a paragraph Iced Way in Attack on Worker Striking for More Wages of the criminal law about the illegal stopping of means of transporta- tion. The strikebreakers are pro- tected by police. Workers’ meet- ings and demonstrations are broken uv by foot and mounted police. Within a period of four months. “our editors of the central organ of the Communist Party of Denmark (Arbejderbladety, were sentenced and two new proceedings are now vending. One trial started by the social democratic gcvernment claimed “contempt of the impartial court,” berause the Communist. paper had branded the sentence as a class sentence. Among other reactionary measures against the working class, there is a new law calling for the dissolu- tion of all organizations which try to “influence” political events. On the basis of this law the Danish tourgecisie and its government are going to outlaw, as soon as they) think the moment favorable, the Communist Party and the revolu- tionary mass orzanizaticns, as fol- lowers of the Marxist doctrine of the proletarian revolution. This whole policy of worsening the economic situation of the toil- ing masses, of police terror and fascization of the state and trade union apparatus is, of course, wholly contrary to the platform on which the government was elected. Increasing masses of the toiling People are turning against the policy of the government. The ‘whole situation cffers to the Communist Party of Denmark the best possibilities to mobilize throuzh energetic work the toiling peasants shoulder to shoulder with the work- rE == On the World Front By HARRY GANNES An Old China Hand Speaks Why They Sound the Alarm Defend Soviet China! R. FRAZIER HUNT'S are ticle in the current issue of “Liberty,” “Will 400,000 Chi- nese Go Communist?” is remi« niscent of a report somewhat along the same line that ape peared in the monthly bule letin of the Hankow Chamber of Commerce in the summer of 1932, Both admit tremendous advances of the Chinese Soviets. But both £ raise the alarm among the imperiale §} ist powers for increased financial §) support to General Chiang Kai Shek in order to save China for imperiale ist plunder. For example, a Wall Street banker, or an exporter of bombing planes to China, or an industrialist who expects China to be the dump- ing ground of his products, takes up “Liberty” and reads: “By the million the peasants of the Yangtze Valley swept be- hind these Red banners of re- volt.” He learns that a wounded Nae tionalist colonel in a Hankow hose | pital declares regarding the fighting Red batallions: We can do little against them. The masses of the people are behind them. Our own soldiers are only half-heartedly against them. Many of our soldiers sell their arms and desert.” What is more, the capable Mn Fragier Hunt, experienced world correspondent for the capitalist press, goes on to relate a conversa tion with an “old China hand,” in which this experienced imperialist says: “I have been in districts where the Reds have been in control for several years, and the peasants and poor workers are better off there than in districts under the cen- tral government. I do not believe that the Nanking authorities can | defeat these Red armies.” a ee DRIER diplomatic documents the Washington, London, Tokio governments get more detailed re- ports along the same line. What do you think the effect is on these exploiters of the Chinese peaqple? They begin to shell out more mile lions to Chiang Kai Shek to fie nance the anti-Communist war. When Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese ambassador, comes to the U. S. State Department and tells of the advancing Red Armies, of the recent defeat of Chiang Kai Shek’s crack troops trained by the Nazi Gene-al Von Seckt, after reading the “Lib- erty” article and the pressure it brings, it is more likely that the Roosevelt. government will increase \its “loans” to Nanking to save its colonial grip in China from the mounting Red tide. HEN the Hankow Chamber of Commerce in 1932 issued its alarming report that Hankow was like @ white island in a Red Sea about to be swallowed up, it had an immediate effect. The British- Americen Tobacco Co. a British concern, began to donate more mile lions to Chiang Kai-Shek’s antic Soviet war budget. American cons cerns poured out funds. Roosevelt later provided a $40,000,000 loay, |More than 1,000,000 men were re- cruited with Chieng Kai Shek’s firm promise that the Red Districts would be wiped out. Nearly two years have passed. But Mr. Hunt finds it necessary to raise the alarm still more loudly. The reason the imperialists have cause to become panicky over the treméndous successes of the Soviet districts as expressed by the Chair- man of the Central Soviet Govern- ment, Comrade Mao Tze Tung at the second Soviet Congress held in Juikin, Kiangsi Province, January 22, 1934; “In the Soviet territories, im- perialist privileges have been abol- ished and imperialist influence wiped out. Imperialist preachers and fathers were ousted by the masses. Estates of the people siezed by the imperialist mission- aries were returned and mission- ary schools transformed into So- viet schools. In short, the Soviet districts in China alone are liber- ated from the imperialist yoke. “These facts point to one thing? The Soviet is the sole anti-impe- rialist government. The Soviet government wants to make known to the country-wide.masses: The greatest responsibility of the So- viet and the whole masses is to win victory, over imperialists by means of direct war, The fulfill- ment of this work depends upon the development of the mass anti- imperialist struggle. First of all, the lackey of imperialism, the Kuomintang, should be smashed becance it is the greatest obstacle on the way before the anti-im- perialist Soviet and masses.” Even though in. spite of all pree vious mobilization of world impe- rialism the Red Armies have been able to beat back the attacks, to strengthen the Soviet districts, this should not lull the workers in this country to a false sense of security of the invincibility of the Soviets, Just as the imperialists are certain to answer this alarm with immedi- ate aid to Chiang Kai-Shek, it should inspire the workers to greater sup- port of the heroic Soviets, to the fighting spirit of the Chinese toil< ing masses, to the Red Army that so valiantly beats back superior and better armed forces. Everything should be done ta block Wall Street’s aid to the but- cher Chiang Kai-Shek. Demand the withdrawal of American battleships and marines from China, from the Yangtz? and around Hankow near ths Soviet districts. Demand the joans to Chiang Kai-Shek be can- celled and stopped and the money used to pay the American workers unemployment, insurance. and for ers for the struggle against capital- ism the vet's bonus.
