These are the suicides, for the most part resulting from an economic crisis which simply refuses to abate. Naturally, some of the suicides resulted from personal conflicts that perhaps did have a direct connection with the misery caused by the crisis. But the sharp, progressive increase in the number of suicides during the past few years proves conclusively that capitalism murdered these people who took their own lives. Of all the strange places in the world, the house organ of a slot machine manufacturing concern publishes these statistics on suicides, and these statistics are very significant indeed. According to this publication there were approximately 23,000 suicides in the United States in 1933; 20,088 in 1932; 18,551 in 1931 and 6,210 in 1919. More- over, “reports indicate that the aggregate number of persons involved in attempts at suicide in 1933, which failed or succeeded may be placed at 56,000.” Notice the sharp increase in the number of self-inflicted deaths, and particularly the leap between 1931 and 1933! Then let anyone try, if he can, to explain away these suicides on purely “psychological” grounds. The slot-machine paper reports that 12,000 persohs committed suicide in New York City during the ten-year period between 1923 and 1933, and tells what form of self-destruction they used:—Illu- minating gas, 4,820; jumping from buildings and bridges, 1,821; hang- ing, 1,640; shooting, 1,389; poisoning, 1,227; cutting, 509; submersion, 835; jumping in front of trains and cars, 278; miscellaneous, 36; burning 18. . . . OBERT FORSYTHE, who's been writing some gay pieces for the New Masses, which included the Dillinger Saga, sends in some ¢linical notes on the operations of the Mind of the Liberal. “Tt seems to me that the Communists are not capitalizing on one circumstance that might win to their side at least the ladies who have their lunches in places where the waiters read the tea leaves, The fact is that anyone even decently grounded in Marxism sees 80 much farther ahead than the ordinary ‘intellectual’ that he could pass himself off as a seer. 1 ee Youngstown daily Vindicator calls the main Negro section of Youngstown “Monkey's Nest.” This is indicative of the social position of the 15,000 Negroes in this steel center. The Negro workers of Youngstown work in the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube Co. U. 8. Steel subsidiary, in the Republic Steel Co., the Sharon Steel Hoop Co., or one of the other gréat steel mills of the section. They work as laborers. They work as helpers. They work at any job they can get. Sometimes they are paid as high as 48 cents an hour for this killing work. Generally less. “Monkey's Nest” and the other neighborhoods where Negroes are Segregated: Rows of dilapidated, grimy, wooden frame houses, over- crowded, often two and three fam- ilies stuffed into one-family houses. Paint long worn away, the aged houses are dyed a grey-black by the smoke belching from the steel mill chimneys, . No Labor Shortage There is no shortage of labor now, and the Youngstown Vindicator carried an article each month say- ing that the Negroes should be de- ported to the South They don’t want to work, the Vindicator said, they are a lazy lot. Of late, even water has been taken away from the Negro families of Youngstown. There are hundreds of families in Youngstown, some white, mainly Negro, where the water has been shut off for months. ‘When a Negro worker loses his job and can’t pay his rent, off goes his water supply. Until recent weeks, the Negro tive of some members of the Unem- ployed Councils, the workers began to organize Neighborhood Commit- | Mittees to Get Water. Within a Broes, were registered by these com- committees. Mrs. Blumenthal, a housewife who went with one of these committees to demand water, told me the story of their visit to the water com- missioner, Dan Parish. “Fifty fam- ilies had signed our petition de- manding waterf’ she said. “We told Parish about the spread of dis- ease. About the suffering. Parish refused to do anything, saying he had no power, ‘We will give your answer to the workers,’ we told him. ‘I don’t care a damn for the work- ers,’ Parish replied, ‘and you can tell them that. I don’t care who knows it.” The last word Parish gave the Committee to Get Water was, “I will carry out the law and prosecute anyone who uses the fire hydrants.” The Committee to Get Water then went to Youngstown’s Commissioner of Public Health. He admitted that if the workers don’t have water, dis- ease will spread. “You heard what Parish said,” he concluded. “I can't | Preparations.

Fight Goes On | And so the fight of the Negro| workers—and white workers too—to | secure water, continues in Youngs- town.

It is the plain essence of the Marxian analysis of capitalism and reformism and anybody who looks at it even for a second can see it plainly. The fact that most people don't want to see it is no excuse for the intellectuals who profess to be interested in learning the truth.” ROBERT FORSYTHE. * . . NOTHER testimonial to the “New Deal” comes from Cleveland. A comrade named Carlson thoughtfully sends me a sipping from the Cleveland Press which reports the death from starvation of an unemployed worker arrested by the police because he lurched “as though he was drunk.” The incident is described by a feature writer for the Cleveland Press in these words: “He certainly looked drunk, the way his skinny old frame was lurching around downtown sidewalks yesterday in the steaming sun, and flopping in the stray places of shade in thie alleys and back streets.” The police took the worker to jail. Astonishing as it may seem, they even brought him some food—probably the jail food. “He ate it ravenously with his hands. He ate and he ate and he ate. They didn’t know that a starving man should be allowed to eat only very $765,000,000 for the year, including $300,000,000 for the Civilian Con- servation Corps and $137,000,000 for rivers and harbors. For 1935, actual expenditures for the Navy will run to at least $454,000,000. Of the 1934-35 appropriation for the Navy, $141,000,000 was coming out of P. W. A. funds, and $28,000,- 000 from the “economy” measures of April and May, 1933. In other words, employed government work- ers who had their wages cut, vet- erans who had their benefits re- duced, and unemployed workers who were supposed to benefit from the P. W. A. are all forced to con- tribute quite directly to Roosevelt's “Big Navy” program. It will be remembered also that during the summer of 1933 announcement had been made of a $238,000,000 grant to the Navy from the Public Works Fund. This grant was made on the basis of a claim that naval con- struction would immediately reem- ploy large numbers. overnight. This increase in the number of trained officers denotes an actual increase in armed forces. “In all the main conscript armies the term of service has been de- creased, But this has been accom- panied by a shift in methods of training producing the same results. For example: General Hapgood of the U. S. Army declared, ‘We pro- pose to put infantry into the line of battle within ten days after they are inducted into service... by teaching the recruit how to lie in a trench before he learns how to drill on the parade ground.’ (New York World-Telegram, April 18, 1933.) “(2) Mechanization, rather than man power, is the real factor in disclosing imperialist preparations for war. $10,000,000 of the P. W. A. funds were granted for mechaniza- tion of the army in 1933—in addi- tion to the regular budget. Armored cars capable of 50 miles an hour on plowed fields; small tanks trav- eling a mile a minute on concrete “Actually,” as Labor Fact Book II points out, “only $35,000,000 of the sum was to be spent in 1933-34, despite the claim of relieving un- employment; $141,000,000 of the re- mainder would be spent some time between July 1, 1934, and June 30, highways, huge mobile forts, steel castles on tractor treads—all are being stored up in undisclosed numbers. “One hundred and twenty-five miles of underground concrete for- tifications lie along the French If the prisoner answers “No,” his situation is by no means bettered. “What, you coward, haven't you the courage to admit you are a Com- munist?” Tragedies 4 be prisoners at Sonnenburg, like all the others in concentration camps throughout Germany, are put under arrest and kept im- prisoned without trial, legal inves- tigation, or sentence. Very often fathers of four, five or eight chil- dren are brutally torn away from their families, their only crime be- ing that they dared to express dis- approval of the fascist regime. Cae of the prisoners, a cook, the father of five children, had been denounced and immediately ar- rested. Soon afterwards his wife received the same treatment. The five children roamed the streets for days and days, until some neighbors the Nazis, compel him to wear thick bandages on his skull all the time. He was put on the second | floor to make it necessary for him| to climb up and down the stairs. A man from Wiesbaden, who was treated for many months for a| catarrh of the vocal chords, had in| reality an active case of consump- tion. In spite of this, he shared a small room with five other men who were thus constantly exposed to contagion. In the end he was transported to the state hospital in Berlin, but his condition is so bad that he is not expected to live an- other year. A certain Zobel, a former athletic director, has an open wound in his stomach due to an unsuccessful “operation.” None of these men can leave Sonnenburg, They are taken out only to die.
