Here is an active, keen- edged instrument of struggle in the hands of the working masses against the capital- ist class and the government agencies through which it rules. The Comm' + Party considers elections as only one form of the struggles in which the working class is constantly engaged, but considers them as struggles of extreme importance. i} The Communist Party, leading in the every-day fight of the masses of people for improved conditions Jooks to elections as one means of broadening these struggles and throwing into them the strength of increased numbers of workers. It is with this in mind, that the platform sets forth the demands against Roosevelt’s New Deal, against capitalist terror and the growing tendencies toward fascism, against the Negro oppression; against war preparations. With this in mind the platform urges a fight for unemployment and social insurance and for immediate relief for workers and farmers. The platform itself states more clearly than any paraphrase, the aims and views of the Communists in this or in any election: “The Communist Party calls upon the millions of workers and farmers, Negro and white, to not only elect Communist Congressmen and all other Communist candidates, but to boldly and deter- minedly take up and broaden the mass fight for the immediate demands set forth in this platform. This alone can win immediate and substantial vic- tories for the toilers, “More than that, the mass fight for these de- mands is the starting point in the workers’ struggle for political power, for a workers’ government, for a Soviet government in the United States, which alone will bring the present capitalist crisis to an end in a manner beneficial to the masses.” With equal clarity and forcefuiness the platform describes the duty of a Communist candidate for public office and of Communists who have been elected to office: “In Congress they will lead the fight for the demands and for the needs and interests of the working class. Outside of Congress they will aid directly in building the workers’ organizations and in leading the struggles of the toilers for improved conditions, against fascism and against imperialist War.” If the Communist election platform is really to be an instrument of struggle, however, every Com~ munist, every sympathizer, every class-conscious worker must be called into seryice to make the platform and its meaning known to the greatest possible numbers. ‘The vaunted democracy of capitalism places op- pressive limitations on the political organizations of the working clasg. In many states the Communist Party can insure itself of a place on the ballot only by the collection of large numbers of signa- tures on nominating petitions. Collection of suffi- cient signatures in such cases therefore, must at once become one of the major tasks of every class- conscious worker. The Communist Party has made gains at the polls in the past four years. Those gains must be increased ten-fold in the coming elections—and they can be if Communists and their fellow-workers carry the campaign into every shop, mill, office, Picket-line and worker’s home. Unite Against Fascism! OU radical agitators, whether you call yourselves liberals, Communists, So- cialists, or trade unionists, can expect no mercy. We are not fooling with you any longer. You can expect the treatment your kind receives in Germany.” Thus spoke a well-known attorney for the Portland industrialists at the time the vigilante and police raiders were tearing up and down the streets of the western seaboard cities, breaking up Communist -headquarters, union halls and workers’ meeting places and making wholesale arrests. The indiscriminate arrest and terrorization of men and women is not only an attempt to suppress the Communist Party. It is a desperate move of the united forces of the federal government, city and state governments:and the employers to sup- press strikes in which labor as a whole is defending its position. First to be hit in the brutal raids was the mili- tant Marine Workers Industrial Union. When these efforts to discredit the A. F. of L. men and M. W. I. U. members in each other's eyes failed to halt the maritime strike, all the forces of fascist reaction were mobilized against the Communist Party and all militant workers’ organizations. These attacks, if permitted to stand, will pave the way for a fascist dictatorship in America, The fascist raids are designed to take away from the workers its weapon against oppression—the strike weapon, The workers in Portland, Oregon, have already opened a militant fight against the fascist marauders. Despite the fact that meetings and demonstrations were prohibited by city officials and threatened by vigilantes, 2,000 veterans of the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League staged an ef- fective demonstration in front of the court house where workers were being tried on criminal syn- dicalism charges. United front committees of A. F. L, members, liberals and Communists have been formed in Port- Jand to lead the fight against the terror. These committees must be set up everywhere. The united front in Portland must be broadened and strengthened, drawing ih Socialist Party mem- bers for the attack is directed against Socialist workers as well as Communists. It is directed | DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1934 against all workers, no matter if they vote Repub- lican or Democratic. If ever there was a time for a firm, united stand now. Fascism has raised its gory head in the United States. Workers, intellectuals, all enemies of fascism. regardless of political opinions, must unite against the fascist beasts Hold demonstrations against the vigilante and Police attacks on the West Coast! Demand the release of the arrested workers! Flood the offices of the Governor of California, the Governors of Washington and Oregon with letters and telegrams of protest against the terror! Demand the right of workers to organize into unions of their own choice! Demand the right to strike and picket! Protest the brutal attacks against the Commu- nist Party. The Drought Crisis ROM every city of the West comes news of rapidly advancing prices in all daily food necessities. This confirms the reports in yester- day’s Daily Worker, reports carefully played down in all the capitalist papers. The rise in food costs will, of course bring new hardships to the masses in the cities,. following the terrible miseries which the drought has already brought the impoverished farmers. There is no necessity for a rise in food prices. Farm production could have provided immense re- serves of food and grains for such emergencies. But the Roosevelt A. A. program destroys more than one-third of the country’s food supply, leav- ing the nation wholly unprepared for the drought emergency. Basically, it is not the drought which is re- sponsible for the rising costs of food, but this monstrous destruction of food by the capitalist gov- ernment. by HERE is only one way to stop the gouging of food profiteers who are now trying to clean up on the misery of the farmers and workers. There must be a fight against rising prices in the cities. The drought-stricken farmers must organize at once for cash relief, for food and fodder distribu- tion of the hoarded supplies in the grain elevators and big barns. These demands are embodied in the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill proposed by the Communist Party. The Roosevelt government is not helping the suffering farmers and their families. He is per- mitting the speculators to coin profits out of human misery. The fight is now for the protection of human life and the homes of the smaller farmers against two enemies, the drought of nature and the capi- talist ruthlessness of a Wall Street government. ee Back the Minneapolis Strike! ESPITE efforts of the Trotzkyites to divide the ranks of the relief workers who have come out on strike in support of the truck drivers, the Minneapolis strike continues with great effectiveness. Truckmen, laundry workers, Emerg- ency Relief Association workers, unem- ployed workers are uniting in wonderful class soli- darity, each fighting for their own demands and aiding their brothers in the other trades. But while the air is electrified by the militancy of the workers and their determination to stick until they win becomes more obvious, there are dangers lurking which must be faced squarely and illumi- nated if the strike is to be won. The danger of troops and terror is quite obvious. But troops cannot smash the strike if the workers continue to spread it to other industries. The combined force of striking workers, backed by Labor throughout the country, can force the withdrawal of troops or at least make them effective. A hidden danger, the danger of a split in the ranks of the strikers, is the one that must get the immediate attention of every worker in Min- neapolis. When the relief workers came into the strike the dangerous split tactic of the Trotskyite leaders was put into operation. The first step in the split maneuver was the driving out of representatives of the United Relief Workers’ Association from a meeting of N.R.A. workers by the Trotskyites. This tactic must be nipped in the bud by the rank and file of the unions and relief organiza- tions. There must be no division in the ranks. Relief workers should demand one united action for one set of demands. Workers everywhere will support such a fight. With the dangerous split maneuver defeated, the road will be cleared for a more determined fight against the employers, against the relief agencies. ‘The Minneapolis workers must not allow leaders to divide them into opposing groups. United the workers will win! will be defeated! Workers throughout the country should unite behind the Minneapolis strikers. Hold meetings of solidarity! Demand that Governor Olson withdraw the National Guard! Divided they tee Japanese militarists are calling to the Ger- man fascists and the British imperialists to unleash a counter-revolutionary war against the U.S.S.R., from the East and from the West. Pur- suing a policy of continuous provocation against the US.S.R. and contemplating the seizure of Soviet territory, the fascist militarists of Japan are acting as an outpost in a counter-revolutionary war against the Land of the Soviets. At the same time, German fascism is inviting the international bourgeoisie to purchase its national-socialist mercenaries to fight against the U.S.S.R., intriguing with British, Italian and Polish imperialists (the German-Polish nego- tiations). The British imperialists at the present time have taken the place of the French as the chief organizers of an anti-Soviet war.’ (XIII Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Commu- nist International—December, 1933.) \Join the Communist Party’ 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N.

This band of spies operated on certain sections of the Soviet rail- ways. They had two main basic tasks. First, the gathering of in- formation regarding the carrying capacity and the mobilization read- iness of the railways, particularly those connecting the center of the country with the Far East, the con- ditions of the locomotives, repairs, etc., of the main lines going tothe Far East. Second, conducting acts of destruction and diversion on the railway locomotive repair shops, in preparation for destructive actions in the case of the outbreak of war against the Soviet Union. The composition of this spy or- ganization included certain state employees both of the central ap- paratus of the Commissariat of Railways and its local organs who betrayed the interests of the prole- tarian fatherland. The organization was headed by Kim Zayen, Korean spy, and agent of the Japanese foreign intelligence service who arrived from Man- churia, For money paid by Kim, agents of the Japanese intelligence service developed extensive espionage ac- tivities, collecting secret materials, and committing a number of de- structive acts on the railways, both by means of the organization of train accidents and putting out of order machinery in the locomotive repair shops. A number of railway accidents on the Moscow-Kazan railway was marked by serious consequences, By espionage and _ diversionist acts, the traitors to the proletarian fatherland succeeded in doing great damage to the Soviet railway transport system. Twenty-three persons were com- mitted to trial. Taking into con- sideration that these spy agents were also engaged in wrecking ac- tivities on one of the most im- portant sections of state economy, namely, railway transport, and that they were state employes, their crimes become direct acts of high treason to the proletarian dictator- ship, and the highest measures of criminal repression must be ap- plied to the ringleaders and or- ganizers. The military collegium and the Supreme Court of the U. S. S. R. sentenced the ringleader of the spy organization, Kim Zayen, and seven of his closest assistants and organ- izers in espionage and wrecking ac- tivities to the highest measure of criminal punishment, shooting. The other defendants were sentenced to terms in prison of 10 years and less. Workers Force Police To Free Four Arrested At Bayonne Meeting BAYONNE, N. J., July 25. — A meeting held by the Young Com- munist League in front of the Maiden Form shop was attacked by the police last night, and four young workers were seized and taken to police headquarters. The attack was made on the pretext that no written permit had been granted, though permission had been given orally. The crowd at this meeting, how- ever, together with the workers at a nearby meeting of the Non-Parti- san League, demonstrated in front of the police headquarters and forced the release of the four who had been arrested. Following this victory the Young Communist meeting was resumed, and the police did not dare attack again’ Those arrested were James Brandt, Lawrence, Harold Afros, and Joe Pica. Survey Shows 350,000 Jobless in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, July 25.—One third of the workers of Philadelphia are unemplceyed, the industrial re- search department of the University of Pennsylvania in a report issued yesterday stated. The monthly sur- vey by the university gives the total estimated number of jobless for the city at 350,000 for June, only 500 less than the revised estimate for the previous month. The figure repre- sents 33.4 per cent of the usually gainfully employed population. Hathaway Will Not Speak In Coney Island Tomorrow Owing to unforeseen circum- stances, Comrade Hathaway will not be able to appear at 27th St. and Mermaid Avenue, Coney Island to- morrow night. Comrades will be notified through the columns of the Daily Worker when Comrade Hath- away will be able to speak there. Philadelphia Thaelmann Rally PHILADELPHIA, July 25.—Willi Muenzenberg, member of the Cen- tral Committee of the Communist Party of Germany and for ten years a member of the Reichstag, will be the main speaker at a Free Thael- mann rally, to be held Saturday, July 28, at 8 p.m., at the Broadway Arena, Christian and Broad Sts. The spread of the “Daily” to the mass of workers is a pre- requisite to their successful struggles. Beacon for Communists, Socialisis, Join in Gigantic Demonstration By PAUL GREEN Two weeks have passed since | that memorable Sunday when Com- | munists and Socialists of Paris demonstrated to the world that when they are united victory is theirs, The Forest of Vincennes, the scene of many proletarian demon- strations—we know that forest; we know the red flags which always| adorn such demonstrations; we know the enthusiasm of the Paris proletariat. But the cabled an- nouncement of the United Front of the Communists and Socialists that was consummated on July 8 caused a joy heretofore unknown. That magnificent demonstration will not be quickly forgotten. The New York Times’ cabled statement to the effect that there were 30,000 at the Bois de Vincennes did not seem credible. One knew that there must have been twice, three times that many. At last the cor- rect figures have been obtained. “Le Populaire” (Paris Socialist or- gan) writes: “More than 100,000 workers were grouped in a monster procession which proceeded in or- der and calm toward the grassplots of the Forest of Vincennes, where Socialist and Communist speakers translated in words the unanimous sentiment of the masses.” The demonstration of the fas- cists which took place at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier did not number 20,000, as the New York Times reported. The “Petit Par- isien” (bourgeois paper) reports (od and “Le Populaire” reports Monster Procession From the different reporis ob- tained, it is clear that the workers’ united demonstration was one of the most magnificent Paris has ever seen. All along the Boule- vard Soult thousands of workers marched singing the Internationale. The first group in this monster Procession consisted, according to the report, of leaders of the Com- munist Party and the Socialist Federation of Paris, Maurice Tho- rez, Jacques Duclos, Paul Vaillant- Couturier, Maurice Lampe, etc., representing the Communist Party, and Farinet, Zyromski, Just, etc., representing the Socialist Party. Everywhere one heard the slogans: “Down With War!” “For a World Soviet!” “Free Thaelmann!” Then followed the different Com- munist and Socialist sections of Paris—trade unions, the young Communists and Socialists, young men, women and children, war vet- erans, widows, tenants and small business men, all anti-fascists. The meeting was presided over by Lampe, secretary of the Com- munist Party, Paris District, and Farinet, secretary of the Socialist Party, Paris District. Farinet, facing the more than 100,000 work- ers, said: “Today’s powerful dem- onstration is a guarantee that fas- cism will not conquer. Forward against fascism! Long live united action!” Communists, Socialists Speak A powerful outburst of the In- ternational greeted his peroration, After Farinet, Raymond Guyot, in the name of the Young Communist League, greeted the United Front of Action and declared he hoped soon to see “the realization all over France of that which was accom- plished in the Paris District.” Each speaker was animated and inspired by this. grandiose senti- ment of solidarity. Zyromski, of the S, P., amplified the statements of the previous speakers by say- ing: “We wish that our example be contagious. I am attached to my party, but that does not ex- clude the will to fight. The United Action is only the prelude. The Toilers working class is one, it needs one labor federation (C. G. T.), one party.” | “Then followed Maurice Thorez, | representing the Communist Party of France. Again from the farthest | and nearest alleys of the forest one | heard in dramatic and proletarian | unison the tune of the Interna-| tional. “Maurice Thorez is ac-| claimed in a frenzy of enthusi- asm,” says the report. Comrade Thorez, as the last speaker, said, in part: “Militant Socialists and militant Communists of the Paris region have proven that it is possible to realize a united front, powerful, loyal and honest, against the bour- geoisie and against fascism. We who are attached to the doctrine of | Leninism wish with all our might to fight with the Socialist workers in order that fascism shall not triumph.” Answering Zyromski, he said: “The hour is too grave. We men of the Third International are convinced that the Soviets will tri- umph all over the world. But I say after Zyromski, it is possible that we unite immediately in or- der to prevent fascism. Certainly the proletariat needs one C. G, T., it needs one Party. But this Party must be constituted on irreducible principles of hostility to the capi- talist system. No national defense in a capitalist regime. Nothing can. stop our. will to smash fas- cism.” S. P. Accepts C. P. Pact The first manifesto of united ac- tion has been sealed. The senti- ments expressed by the 120,000 workers who demonstrated at the Bois de Vincennes succeeded in convincing the C. A..P. (Permanent Administrative Committee) of the Socialist Party that the united front should be extended through- out France, and on the 15th of duly the C. A. P., meeting in a national council, accepted in toto the anti-fascist pact of united ac- tion as proposed by the Ceniral Committee of the Communist Party of France. The basis of the agree- ment is as follows: “Article I—Each Party pledges itself to organize in common and to participate with all its re- sources (organizations, press, militants, elected delegates, etc.) in a campaign throughout the country, having as its aim: a) to mobilize the working class ‘population against the fas- cist organizations in France, for their disarmament and dissolu- tion; b) against decree-laws; c) against the Hitler terror, for the liberation of Thaelmann and all anti-fascists. Article If— This campaign against fascism will be con- ducted by means of joint meet- ings in the greatest possible number of localities and en- terprises, by means of demon- strations and anti-fascist coun- ter-demonstrations in the streets. The campaign against the decree-laws will be con- ducted in the same manner, but-in addition, by setting in motion methods of agitation and organization purposed to lead to the realization of large scale strike movements against the decree-laws. If during this United Action, members of either Party find themselves involved in fascist struggles, the members of the other Par- ty will eiitend help and co- operation in order to drive back the fascists. Article I[[—While this Unit- ed Action agreement is in force, the two Parties will ab- stain from attacking, insult- ing or criticizing the organiza- tions and militants participat- ing loyally in this United Ac- the government’s United F ront of Struggle in France Is of Whole World Pact for Joint Struggle Against Fascism Is Signed in Paris will maintain its complete in- dependence in order to de- velop its propaganda and as- sure its own recruiting. Article IV—The program- matic controversies and the ability to cope with the differ- ent tactics, far from being prescribed by the realization of the United Action, are still essential for raising the politi- cal level of the masses and for developing class consciousness among the proletariat. Article V—In the interest of United Action, each Party reserves the right to denounce those who, having made these deanite pledges, tend to evade the application thereof, as well as those who, during the ac- tion take an attitude or com- mit acts which may be detri- mental to the success of the activities engaged in.” Thus was sealed on the 15th day of July, 1984, the Pact of Action between the Communists and Socialists of France. When will we see it here? Strike Is A Disease, AFL Head Says Urging No Textile Walk-Out ANNISTON, Ala., July 25.—The strike of the 20,000 cotton textile workers of Alabama was attacked yesterday by W. O. Hare, secretary of the Alabama Federation of La- bor, when in a speech here to about 300 workers he urged them to “stay on your jobs unless conditions are extremely bad.” Hare told the workers the A. F. of L. “was and is aaginst the gen- eral textile strike.” His statement follows the statement made by Thomas W. McMahon, president of the United Textile Workers, a few days ago which, while , pretending to endorse the Alabama textile strike, dealt the strikers a blow in the rear by advising the textile workers of all other southern states not to join in the walkout until the convention of the U. T. W. on Aug. 13th. A week ago McMahon had said that the Alabama strike would have to run its course “like a disease,” and now the A. F. L, leaders, by blocking the spread of the strike wherever it threatens to extend, hope to choke out what they call a disease before it gets too danger- ous for the textile bosses whose in- terests they put ahead of the in- terests of the workers. Weinstone to Explain Communist Platform On the World Front By HARRY GANNE; Morgan’s Financing Nazis and Japan Against the U. S. S. R. E ARE able, with the help of the China Weekly Re view, to delve into the deale ings of J. P. Morgan & Co, with the Japanese government in the war preparations against the Soviet Union. The Wall Street press has already pub- lished the fact that J. P. Morgan & Co. is striving to bolster up the Nazi regime, and thereby save hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, at the cost of whole- sale slaughters of the German workers.) We also know of the Japanese imperialist-Hitler link in the war plans from East and West against the Soviet Union. The China Weekly Review points out that from the very beginning of the Japanese invasion of Man- churia (2s well as in the present war preparations against the U. S, 8, R.), J. P. Morgan & Co, have been financing the war plans of Japanese imperialism. As far back as 1927-28, J. P. Morgan & Co. were openly planning a_ considerable loan to the Japanese government« controlled South Manchurian Rail way. When this was blocked, tha loan was made ostensibly “for tha purpose of industrial development in Formosa,” but the money was actually used for the invasion of Manchuria and for war prepara~ tions against the Soviet Union. oh ae Ue “THAT Morgan & Co. is heavily involved financially in Japan explains the report in the Japanese Newspapers . . . that Thomas W, Lamont (partner in the Morgan firm) was a supporter of the Jap~ anese ‘hands-off’ declaration.” The China Weekly Review, which itself is the expression of the in« terests of American imperialism in China, charges that J. P. Morgan é& Co. helped Japanese imperialism in its April 17 declaration of aq China Monroe Doctrine for Japan, warning all other imperialist pow ers to keep their hands—or rather their dollars—out of China, In other words, the contradictions within the various imperialist groups in the United States have become so sharp they begin to re veal one another’s crooked deals, aoe JERE we see again that the main contradiction, that of all the imperialist powers against the So- viet Union, becomes the centrifugal force, no matter how bitter the various inter-imperialist conflicts may be. J, P. Morgan & Com- pany’s main efforts today are con- centrated in channels driving to war against the Soviet Union, Morgan & Co. was responsible for floating more than $1,000,000,000 in German bonds and-other securi- ties, and now to save these bonds, and to further the interests of the General Motors Corporation, and its various aviation companies, who are arming Fascist Germany for Hitler’s war plans against the So- viet Union, this Wall Street cole ossus is scouring the world to moe bilize international financial sup« port for German capitalism to stave off the proletarian revolution, On the other hand, despite tha conflicts of American capitalist ine terests with Japan in the Pacific, J. P. Morgan & Company’s main efforts are to help Japan maintain its plunder in Manchuria and to speed its plots for invasion of tha Soviet Union. oo ee IN fact, the China Weekly Review sees in Morgan & Company's dealings with Japanese imperiale ism in Manchuria a situation come parable to Well Street’s heavy ine vestments on the side of the allie@ in the last imperialist slaughtey This well-informed imperialist sheet writes: “There is an element in this site uation which is reminiscent of con« ditioris prior to America’s entranca into the World War when it was shown that Morgan loans to Britain had much to do in dragging America into the conflict.” Morgan’s loans to Japan and Fascist Germany are linking Wall Street to the anti-Soviet war front, When Hiroshi Saito, Japanes@ Ambassador to Washington (whd@ has now returned to Tokio), wad in the United States his chief deal ings were not with the State De~ partment, but with the power bee hind the throne, J. P. Morgarfl & Co. He had repeated conversas. tions with Thomas W. Lamont, leading partner of the Morgan firm. t ahoae ears can be sure the main topics of discussion were first the neces< sity of an imperialist united front to attempt to destroy the Chinese Soviets; second, the question of the Soviet Union, and the unity of im- perialist interests from the Fascist butchers in Germany, to the Jap< anese war lords, in destroying the Soviet Union if world capitalism is to be saved. In fact Saito returned to Japan and announced quite openly that J. P. Morgan & Co. was squarely behind Japanese imperialism in its DETROIT, July 25.—William Weinstone, district organizer of the, Communist Party here, will present the Communist position in the election campaign at a symposium to be held on Satur- ‘day at the Belle Isle Shell at 8 p.m. The symposium is being ar- ranged by Local 8 of the Me- chanics Educational Society of America under the title of “What Our Party Offers to the Organized Worker.” Judge Arthur Lacy, leading candidate for the Democratic |nomination for Governor, will |speak for the Democratic Party; |U.

The Osaka Mainichi, reporting on Saito’s conversations with the Mor- gan partner, declared: “It is further understood that the banker (Lamont) stated that any investments in China which do oI take Japan into account, will increase the dangers of the Chie nese situation... .” Not for a moment do the lead« ing imperialists of all countried cease their plottings and preparay tions for war against the Soviet Union.
