They deliberately maneuver to si p or strangle all efforts toward the United Front. * . . AST March the Communist Party issued a call to the Socialist Party for a United Front to fight the approaching menace of Fascism and im- perialist war. This invitation was also ignored and then sabotaged. frankly and earnestly to the. members ist Party and to the S. P. convention , the Communist Central Committee stated: “We invite you to join with the Communist Party in a united struggle for the most immediate and pressing needs of the workers and toiling masses, against developing Fascism and imperialist var, To fight for and win these immediate de- mands is the first step on the road to Socialism. . The Communist Party is prepared to co- pperate with every worker and workers’ organiza- tion which will really fight for these things... .” The immediate objectives of the United Front were then listed, the xt for higher wages, against ns, for Unemployment Insurante , for a program of farm relief, for rights, against Jim-Crowis! against war ism, for defense of the: Soviet Union. y does it happen that the “new” 8S. P. , posing as a “radical” leadership, finds it impossible to act on the United Front call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party? Why is it afraid to discuss it on the floor of the National Convention? Why does it forbid the rank and file of the Socialist Party, who areveager for working class un to discuss the question or act on it? The Socialist Party leaders, from the reactionary “Old Guard” to the latest stars of the Revolutionary Policies Committee, have not the slightest intention of ever making a real fighting United Front. When forced by pressure, they will make formal acknowl- edgment of United Front pledges, and they will break these pledges at the first epportunity. Wit- ness the actions of Matthews, et al on the program of the Anti-War Congress. Large numbers of honest rank and file Social- ist Party workers eagerly wish for the United Front. To these workers we say: Comrades, Fel- low workers! Whatever our differences, nething should keep us apart in the daily fights against the cizss enemy, against the growing Fascist monster. We call upon you to break through the tyrranical gag rule imposed upon you from above. We call upon you to accept onr hand in daily struggles and actions against our common class pppressors. We must fight together, despite all obstacles placed in our path by leaders who strive to break our unity and keep us apart, Let’s go forward to United Struggle! On Guard! Q@ENATOR WAGNER of the N. R. A. La- 2 bor Board boasts of his successes. The latest report of the National Board states that of two million workers affected by “disputes” before the Board, more than 1,500,000 workers “have been returned to work, kept at work, or had their disputes adjusted.” This is another way of saying that more than ond and a half million workers were trapped by the strike-breaking Labor Board into giving up their most powerful weapon, the strike. The “cases” were settled. In whose favor? What did the workers get out of these “settlements?” In every case, they got false promises, company unions, no improvements, and no wage increas > was in ar “cases” on the picket lines in militant, united struggle, then they would have forced the employers to grant them their demands. They would have improved their conditions. As it is, the government, operat- ing through the Labor Boards, acted as an efficient strike-breaker, and protected the interests of the employers. The workers were tricked. Throughout the whole strike period, the govern- ment has been acting deliberately and boldly as the strike-breaker for the employers. Roosevelt broke the auto strike. He tricked the Weirton steel workers. Now he is trying to save the Steel Trust from the offensive of the imminent steel strike. This reveals the class character of the state as the instrument of the capitalist employers. It re- veals the need for overthrowing the capitalist gov- ernment and setting up a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government. Right now, in their fight for better wages, the workers all over the country must be as vigilant as hawks against the strike-breaking tricks of the N. R. A. Labor Boards. The workers will win better conditions only if they keep the settlement of their fights in their ovm hands on the picket line. The N. R. A. Labor Boards will only seck to trick them back under the old conditions pec HE meaning of Mayor La Guardia’s re- lief plans should be clear to everyone now. Last week he announced he favored the “Pay as you go” method of raising funds for the jobless. This was to fore- stall further bank loans from the banks which get most of the city’s money while their puppet La Guardia is in office. Yesterday the Merchants’ Association, in a letter signed by its President, Louis K. Comstock, an- nounced that it agreed with La Guardia. This wealthy group agreed with La Guardia by proposing a two-cent tax on all subway, clevated, street-car and bus rides. In this way, with the co-operation of the banks, he w merchants and industrialists of the city, La Guardia plans to put over the SEVEN-CENT FARE. for which he has been jockeying since he mayor last fall will be hit by a rise in fares? Not the bank- Ts, nor the big merchants, who never use the crowded and hot (and in winter, crowded and freez- No—but it will hit the underpaid mass of New York’s workers as well and the unemployed work- ers themselves! These are the people who must and do use the subways—to and from their miserable jobs, to and from their fruitless search for jobs. In other words, a two-cent fare tax would be taken out of the pockets of the very same people for whom the money is so direly needed. It is, undisguisedly, a “PAY-AS-YOU-STARVE” plan! * * * A GUARDIA, true to his undisguised class inter- ests, is taking advantage of the jobless situation by attempting to strike a new blow against the toilers of this city, whose standard of living he has crushed lower and lower since he became mayor. And it is not surprising, coming from a man so closely tied to Wall Street, from a man who has instructed his police department to club job- less workers, and who has instructed the boss press of the city to “prepare the public for blood- shed.” Unemployed workers—redouble your efforts to receive adequate relief, but fight with all your might against the victimization of the employed workers, who are scarcely better off than you are, for this purpose! Employed workers: Resist this attempt of Fusion to foist the SEVEN-CENT FARE on your already overburdened shoulders! Both employed and unemployed workers should stand solid against LaGuardia’s new anti-working class plans—from which only the bankers and rich merchants will profit. For Democracy in the Painters Union HE rank and file workers of the Paint- ers’ Union are facing brutal fascist at- tacks by gangsters hired by Phillip Zaus- ner, of District Council 9. In open rebellion against the graft, cor- ruption and anti-working class policies of this Zausner, who has alréady spent $160,- 000 of the painters hard-earned money to build himself a union machine, the rank and file workers have nominated a slate of their own, Louis Wein- stock, Frank Wedl, and L. J. Stevens. These militant rank and file workers face not only slugging, but even death at the hands of the rats, it is rumored, Zausner has imported from the underworld of Chicago. Three workers have already been sent to the hospital by Zausner’s rats. . . . Y beet is a challenge to every honest, decent painter in the union. The issues here are more than the terrorism of the Zausner gangsters. The issues are whether or not the painters will have the right to express their own will in a democratic way, whether or not they can preserve their united strength for effective struggles for better conditions. A union in which the rank and file cannot give free expression to their own wishes, without meet- ing gangsterism, cannot put up an effective fight against the employers. ‘The fight against gangsterism is thus part and parcel of the fight against the employers, part of the fight for better wages and conditions. To defend their union and their inner democ- racy, the painters must organize at once to take all measures necessary to see to it that their own wishes find expression in the elections—not the wishes of gangsters, This includes the organiza- tion of defense corps to defend the painters and the orderly processes of democratic procedure within the union. Painters, defend democracy in Defeat gangsterism and terrorism! rank and file slate! own hands! the union! Support the Take the union into your More Roosevelt Deceit ROOSEVELT has his eye on the coming Congressional elections. What does a capitalist politician do when elections approach? He makes rosy prom- ises. And when it comes to promises Roosevelt is the undisputed champion When he was running for office last March he spoke sweetly about “unemployment in- surance.” Once he got into office, he slashed the wages of his Federal employees, cut the veterans’ compensation, threw crippled vets into the streets, and set his face like flint against the slightest at- tempt to provide a Federal system of cash relief and unemployment insurance. Now the cunning Roosevelt makes his typically vague promises about social and unemployment in- surance, thus providing a platform for his Demo- cratic colleagues in the Fall elections. He promises that he will “study” the question—and discuss it with his new Congress in the Fall. But what is there to study”? Roosevelt has been in office more than a year. He has turned over more than five billions to the Wall Street banks, to the Army and Navy. What stopped him from using these funds for the jobless and for uncmployment insurance? Why does Roosevelt maintain such silence on H. R. 7598, the Bill en- dorsed by hundreds of union locals, workers’ groups, Unemployed Councils and townships? Roosevelt, doesn’t give a hoot about the unem- ployed. He will give them only what they fight for and demand. He will try all his might to keep the Telief bill as low as possible for the capitalist class. The jobless cannot wait till Roosevelt com- pletes his “studies” in the Fall. They must be fed now. The employed workers face all the dread un- certainties of losing their jobs. The American working class needs Federal Unemployment In- surance to be paid for right now by the govern- ment and the employers. They need the enaci- ment of H.

(By cable).— The most recent information of the course of spring sowing in the So- viet Union shows new victory for | the collective farms. Kolhhozes (col- | lectives) | Strated the force and strength of | collective labor. On the fifth of | June, 28.327,500 acres of summer grain had been sown throughout the Uv. }of the districts. This means 23,750,000 | acres more sown this year than last. Spring sowing this year can justi- fiably be called the most organized of all spring plantings under the Soviet regime. Kolkhozes have sown 173,030,000 acres against the 170,835,000 plan- ned. Thus their plan has been ful- filled with an increase of 18 per |cent. Kolkhozes completed sowing | ten days earlier than last year. Figures on the planting of varjous crops are not less significant than the géneral preliminary results of sowing. The sowing of beets was finished approximately a month earlier than last year. Cotton plant- ing has been carried out much more | successfully than in former years. Great successes have been made in the grain-sowing plan, which has already been 101.6 per cent fulfilled throughout the U. S. S. R. and which continues in several sections. | The plan for sowing wheat has been 102.7 per cent filled, and barley sow- ing is now 102.6 per cent accom- plished.

SPANISH GOVERNMENT’S FASCIST DECREES MADRID, June 11—The govern- ment today ordered the “closing” of Fascist centers following yesterday's clashes with the left in which one Fascist was killed and three injured. The powerful Popular Action, Catholic and Right, the chief Fas- cist group, was understood not to be affected by this order, which came as the political situation gen- erally was rendered uneasy by the outlawed farm strike and by Cata- lonian defiance of the Supreme Court order annulling the Catalan land law on the ground that it con- | tained unconstitutional expropria- | tion provisions. | The Catalonian people were un- | favorably impressed by the grim naval “games” being staged in the Balearic Islands which include a mock attack on the Catalan coast.

More than 500 police and gendarmes | were mobilized for the occasion, as well as three companies of infantry, mounted artillery men, engineers and Alpine Chasseurs. Machine guns and other firearms were held in readiness but were not used. The police had prepared for the demonstration on orders of the Doumergue government which is, protecting the fascist meetings. A leading fascist deputy, Philippe Henriot, was to speak here. Led by the Communist Party, the workers began a demonstration at the hall where Henriot was speaking. Heavy barricades had been erected by the police before the meeting. In a de- termined attack the workers tore down the barricades. Socialist work- ers joined in the demonstration and in the battle forged the united front against which the Socialist Party leaders have been fighting.

New Soviet Law Against Spies Is Answer to War Plottings (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, June 10, (By radio) — The recent Soviet government law providing the death penalty for spies was called forth by the in- creasing dangers of war on the Soviet Union, declared “Izvestia,” organ of the Soviet government yes- terday. Commenting on yesterday’s government decision which supple- mented the code for crimes against the state by special articles on high treason, “Izvestia” organ of the So- vet government writes: “Now, when menacing clouds are gathering on the international hori- zon, when alongside of hypocritical phrases of bourgeois politicians on disarmament, secret forces are fran- tically working in the preparation of a new war, a new division of the world, primarily at) the expense of the United Socialist Soviet Re- ‘| publics, the necessity of such a law is clear to everyone regarding things soberly. “There is no crime at which cap- italist plunderers and their agents will stop in order to interfere with the triumph of socialist construc- tion. The enemies of the U.S. S. R. are constantly dreaming of crushing its state power. Their plots are di- rected at lowering the fighting ca- pacity of the workers, peasants, and the Red Army. Our Red Army— bulwark of peace and revolutions— jis of the flesh and blood of the working class and the toiling masses. Still, real betrayers, connected by blood and other ties to the interests of former property owners and ex- ploiters, perhaps allied with class enemies abroad, might try to pene- trate the ranks of socialist con- struction. All toilers must stand guard for the interests of their homeland. “The Soviet Union is a homeland for us not only because we were born or grew up in the U. 8. S. R.— such formal connections are not the all-determining factors for us. Our socialist union js our homeland be- cause the greatness of the historical aims we pursue accounts for the great number of sacrifices we have already borne, and for the labor for achieving these aims, because these aims jnspire us, and the entire world of toilers.” To Take Necessary Measures In view of the struggle initiated by Doriot against the Ceneral Com- mittee of the Communist Party of France, the Executive Committee of the Communist International pro- posed, on April 23rd, to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of France and to Doriot to put an end to the internal Party conflict and to submit the differences to the examination of the Executive Committee of the Communist In- ternational. In making this decision, the Executive Committee of the C. I. is activated by the necessity of assur- ing unity in the Party and the working class in their fight against fascism, as well as by its desire to prevent Doriot’s isolation from the masses. While the C. C. of the CG. P. of France, conforming to the demands of the Executive Committee of the Cc. I, immediately put a halt to the struggle, Doriot continued his fight against the C. C. of the ©. P. of France. To the repeated requests | Authorize C.P. of France of the Executive Committee of the C. L, he invariably answered by re- fusing to accept the proposition of the Executive Committee of the C. I. that he go to Moscow. The Executive Committee of the C. I. thus exhausted all means of saving Doriot for the Party and of preventing his isolation from the masses. To the C. I. it is clear that Doriot speaks and writes of the united front not with the aim for its fulfillment, but simply in order to be able, under a cover of phrases on the united front, to pave the way for a split in the Party. The ©. I. does not believe that Doriot, who is destroying the united front within the Party, can honestly and sincerely stand for the united front of the working class, Doriot’s’ open letter to the Execu- tive Committee of the C. I. is noth- ing but a mask covering the split- ting policy of Doriot. Thus Doriot takes the same road as the counter- revolutionary Trotsky took in his fight against the C. P. of USSR. and egainst the C. I. The Executive Committee of the C. I. decides as follows: 1) To deny Doriot the supvort of the C. 1. 2) To authorize the C. ©, of the C. P. of France to use against Doriot all ideological and organiza- tional measures which it considers necessary in order to insure the unity of the Party and a victorious fight against fascism. By order of the Executive Com- mittee of the C. I.: Dimitroff, Heck- ert, Kuusinen, MacIlhone, Manuil- sky, Piatnitsky. ae ee J PARIS. — “L’Humanite,” Central Organ of the Communist Party of France of May 21, 1934, publishes the following resolution passed by the Political Bureau at the regional conference of the Paris-Nord dis- trict, where Doriot has been active: “The Political Bureau notes with satisfaction thp firm attitude of the Communists of the Saint-Denis dis- trict. In accordance with the con- viction expressed by the Central Committee, they are fighting vigor- ously to maintain the correct Party line and that of the C. I., and they resolutely reject the Social-Demo- cratic platform of Comrade Doriot. @ platform supported and developed on the debris of the sectarian-op- portunistic group of Barbe-Rolland. “Stressing the pressing necessity expressed at the Regional Confer- ence: ‘The Conference, concerned Doriot’s Opportunist, Splitting Policies Hit by C.I. e Paris-Nord District Flays Doriot’s Factionalism with the political unity of the Party, and with the homogeneous applica- tion of its decisions, demands of the C. C. that it prohibit Comrade Doriot from propagating his oppor- tunistic doctrines, and that it com- pel this comrade to submit to the Party discipline.’ “The Political Bureau expressly requests Comrade Doriot to cease all propaganda—both from within and without the Party—of his So- cial- Democratic platform which hinders the united front under the direction of the C. P. and prevents the Socialist workers from joining the C. P. “The Political Bureau asks Com- rade Doriot to renounce his anti- Party platform, to submit himself ‘without reservations to the Party discipline as weil as that of the C.sC., and to repair, under the di- rection of the C. C., the harm which his opportunistic activities caused the Party and the proletariat. “(Signed) Political Bureau “April 6, 1934.” On the World Front By HARRY GANNES Stubborn Indian Strike Points on British Rule Bombay News Censorship Swedish Fascist Putsch? OR over a month now 70,000 Bombay textile workers have been on strike, Brutal attacks by the British police force in India and shooting at strikers have failed to end the struggle. In fact, the latest news is that the stubbornness and persistency of the strikers has forced the shutiing down of mills formerly working with reduced forces. The cotton mill workers are fight~ ing for increased wages; but the strike at the present juncture of events in India and throughout the world is of even greater significance. It marks the opening of a new wave of anti-imperialist struggles, a new assault on British imperialist rule in India. In Britain everything is being done in preparation for the holding of this keystone of the colonial em- pire by blood and fire. British lords do not stoop at a little perjury, |meanwhile, in order to get over their policy on India. Only last Friday, Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary for India, was held “blameless” of the charge of bringing pressure on witnesses to change their testimony before the parliamentary committee consideri ing “Indian constitutional reforms.” Sir Hoare, said the white- washing committee, did not black- jack the witnesses, but merely “per- | suaded” them, ee «eqJE DID not conquer India for the benefit of the Indians,” bluntly said Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, when he was home secretary of Britain, “I know what is said in mission- ary meetings that we conquered India to raise the level of the Indians. That I can’t. .We con- quered India as the outlet for the goods of Great Britain. I am not such a hypocrite as to say we hold India for the Indians. We hold it as the finest outlet for Brit- ain’s goods in general and for Lancashire cotton in particular.” India, however, is more than a market for Britain. It is a fertile source of industrial, shipping, ine surance profits, taxes, administra- tive jobs, raw materials, and a thousand of other means by which the super-profits from India are poured into England. But in order to dominate India, to insure the ceaseless flow of gold and goods into England for the ben- efit of the British ruling class, the Indian masses are driven and starved, beaten and enslaved. A Manchester newspaper, the “Northern Voice,” once briefly and sketchily pictured the lot of the Ine dian workers as. follows: “Over 1,009 factories are never inspected in India. Coal miners receive four shillings six pence ($1.25) per week. The average in- come in India is three pounds ($15 a year) per head of the pop- ulation. Working in factories in India are 69,000 children under 12 years of age; 95 per cent of the workers’ babies are fed opium and opium is a government monopoly. There are 28,000 women in the coal mines in India, Infant mor- tality is as high as 884 per thou- sand in the workmen’s houses of Bombay. In Indian factories the workers’ babies sleep on the floors while the mothers work among the dust and noise.” Pe a 'HE news of the struggles come ing out of India undergo a most subtle but severe censorship. For instance, very little of the day-to- day strike news from Bombay reaches India. None at all comes to the United States. We learn why from Mr. Constantine Brown, of the Washington Evening Star, Mr, Brown says that in 1928 the Chicago Daily News sent a corre- spondent to India to cover the reyo- lutionary uprisings and struggles of that period. The “News” corre spondent sent his stuff via London, The cables were held up in London, “The branch manager who did not want to lose an account of something like $1,500 a month, called and offered all kinds of exe cuses,” whites Mr. Brown. In the end he confidentially informed the writer that before the dispatches were relayed to New York, they had to be copied and the copy sent to the offices of a certain captain in the Admiralty for his information. The Chicago Daily News corre- spondent, incidentally, was cabling news favorable to British impe- rialism. ea ots 5 IM Stockholm, Sweden, comes the news that the Communist Party organ, “Ny Dag,” has pub- lished sensational revelations from well-authenticated sources showing that leading fascist circles in Swe- den are maintaining the closest connections with the German fas- cists. These connections are estab- lished with Goering through his brother-in-law, one von Rosen, a Swedish scientist. The “Ny Dag” declares that the Swedish fascists, with the help of the German Nazis, are working for an attempted putsch this Fall. A large number of officers of high rank, the fascist parliamentary deputy, Captain Moserhoffer, and the military leader of the fascist- incited volunteer national defense corps, and the conservative youth organization, are involved in the fascist. plan. The officers only boast that they risk very little or nothing at the hends of the “democratic” author ities, pointing to Hitler's “beer hall putsch” in Munich. one tet TUNIS, Africa, the French rail- way executives have cut the wages of the workers by 25 per cent, and their famiiy allowance by 36 to 58 per cent. The reformist trade union leaders are bargaining with the management for better condi- tions of the French workers at the expense of the native workers.
