TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1984 Green Draws the Sword MERICAN workers have nothing to fear. All is not yet lost. William Green, president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, has drawn the sword and is about to lead the assault on the breast- works of capital. You don’t believe it? Ah, fellow-worker, you have been touched by Communism. Here, read Bill Green's statement yourself, as that peerless fel- low made it to the press on the eve of the meeting of the Executive Council of the A. F. of L.: “Unemployment is still the outstanding prob- lem before us . . . Despite the increase [?!—Ed.] of employment due to the N.R.A. and to the ex- penditures of vast relief funds the slack in unem- ployment is not being taken up rapidly enough. “, . .Are our captains of industry only fair weather leaders? “... Are the sons of pioneers who constructed the American railroads, who harnessed the water- falls and who built up the greatest productive ma- chine in the history of the world ready to capi- tulate to the absentee ownership and control of bankers far removed from the honest sweat of factory, mill and mine management? “,, .WILL IT BE NECESSARY FOR SOCIETY TO TAKE OVER THE MEANS OF PRODUC- TION? ... IF THE OWNERS OF INDUSTRY DEFAULT IN THEIR APPROACH TO THESE PROBLEMS, ABDICATE IN THE PRESENCE OF THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS, WILL THEY NOT THEN FORFEIT THEIR PREROGATIVES AND BE COMPELLED TO STAND ASIDE WHILE SOCIETY ITSELF, FOR GOOD OR EVIL, MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO COPE WITH THIS TASK?” (Emphasis ours—Ed.). ORKERS everywhere will ask: Can this be? Why is Bill Green, sworn friend of the profit system, now raising, for the first time in the recent history of the A. F, of L, the question of the taking over of industry by the workers? Why, five years after the crisis set in, does Bill Green begin to doubt the “captains of industry?” Why? Because thousands of members of the American Federation of Labor and outside of it are beginning to understand that the “captains of in- dustry” cannot “cope with the crisis,” that the capi- talist system cannot feed the starving millions. Workers in vaster numbers are beginning to realize that the capitalist class cannot reorganize society, that, amidst plenty, it can only rob and destroy. Workers have not been blind to the plain facts. ‘They have seen wheat burned while millions starved. They have seen cotton ploughed under while textile workers shivered in rags. They have seen the wealth of a few parasitic millionaires grow to fabulous size. And four thousand miles away they have seen ® new land grow up, a socialist land, where un- employment has been banished, and a new society is developing which can and does cope success- fully with its problems. This country is the Soviet Union—where the bankers and bosses were banished in November 1917, where the wealth of the country since has become the property of the millions. And, seeing all this, the American working class is beginning to draw conclusions of the great- est importance. It is beginning to struggle against the yoke of a “labor leadership” which defends the system that oppresses labor. Bill Green sees all this, feels the growing revolt of the rank and file of the A. F. of L. and draws the sword, the cardboard sword. His radical phrases are only an attempt to swim with the growing cur- rent. It is a grand gesture. But it won’t work. . . . ‘HE memory of American labor is not so short, Mr. Green. We remember how, in the first years of what you then called a “depression” and now a “crisis,” you bellowed against unemployment insurance. Now when about 2,400 locals of the A. F. of L. and many central bodies have en- dorsed the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, you talk differently. For years you and ‘the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. were bitterly opposed to anything which even smelt faintly of being socialistic. Today You speak of taking over industry, a complete re- versal of the position of the A. F. of L. leaders for many years. But the rank and file will not be fooled by these latest words of yours, by this new pieee of dema- Scores of locals of the American Federation of Labor will continue to fight for the Workers Un- employment Insurance Bill. Thousands of mem- bers of the A. F. of L., deeply convinced of the fact that the captains of industry not only can- not cope with the crisis but can only lead the American masses to disaster, are beginning to see another way out, the Soviet way out, that of taking over the means and machinery of production of the United States. They are neginning to see with the greatest of clarity that you and the chiefs of the A. F. of L. are the greatest enemies of such a social change. The workers in and out of the A. F. of L. are beginning to see that what the Communist Party 8th Convention declared is absolutely correct: “If the workers will take power, they will in a very short time radically improve the life of all toilers—industrial workers, farmers, white-collar workers, professionals, intellectuals, etc., Providing a high degree of comfort and well-being for the toiling masses. “There is no way out of the crisis except by breaking the domination of the rule of the capi- talist class and taking the road pointed ont by the victorions working class of the Soviet Union.” MoveA gainst Auto Workers HE split of the Hudson local of the United Automobile Workers, from the _ American Federation of Labor, is not a | t < DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, AUG move in the direction of militant unionism, but is an attempt to destroy real trade unions in the auto industry and establish company unions. The split was engineered by two men, Arthur Greer and Richard Byrd, who have a long record of betrayal of the auto work- ers as A. F. of L. m aders. Both men participated with Green, Collins and Roosevelt in the March sell-out of the auto workers which created the Auto Labor Board, defeated the workers’ demands, pre- vented their strike and gave recognition on the Board to the company unions, Byrd was rewarded for preventing the threatened strike by being made a “labor” representative on the Auto Labor Board. Greer, president of the Hudson local, was a United States secret service agent during the war. In September, 1933, Greer was the chairman of the company union’s (Hudson Industrial Association) election committee in the main plant of the Hudson factory. After the March sell-out Greer prevented the Hudson workers from striking. The program which the Greer-Byrd group is endeavoring to put across in the new organiza- tion, the “Associated Automobile Workers of America,” is a program for a fascist, company union. Greer is attempting to bar unemployed workers from the “union.” He proposes to put in the constitution a clause that anyone connected with Communists cannot belong to the union. He attempts to stifle any sign of militancy. At the same time Greer states that the union is founded on the principle that it is “unfair” to the employers to ask them to deal with “persons who have no connection with the business.” The employers, Greer stated, want a union “governed by men inside the industry and not by men out- side of it.” Greer’s connection with the Hudson Motor Co. has long been a very close one. The Greer-Byrd leadership thus raises the pro- verbial cry of the employers, of “outside agitators,” and uses this time-worn argument for a company (employers’ controlled) union. These bosses’ agents were able to put over the Split because of the great dissatisfaction of the auto workers with the betrayals of the American Federa- tion of Labor officialdom, led by M. Collins. They covered up their fascist, company union policy with ® sham, demagogic criticism of Green and Collins. That the Hudson auto workers are already finding out the character of the Greer- Byrd leadership is seen in the fact that at the last meeting of the new union only about 100 at- tended. The A. F, of L. Hudson local claimed 7,000 members. In this meeting Greer crushed all mili- tant expression of the workers present. The Auto Workers’ Union has celled upon the Hudson workers to organize a rank and file oppo- sition inside the new union to fight for one united union in the auto industry, and for a militant fighting policy. A Greeting and A Pledge! ORE than 10,000 New York workers, gathered at the “Free Thaelmann” meeting in the Coliseum almost two weeks ago, drowned the rumble of two passing trains with their mighty cheers when Earl Browder, just returned from the scene of the San Francisco general strike, de- clared: “As soon as the printing plant of the Western Worker was burned by vigilan- tes miniature copies of the Western Worker ap- peared from 22 places in the city.” All through the terror days, the days of raids and brutal attacks, barbaric cruelty and vandalism, the Communist Party of San Francisco held its ranks solid. No better tribute to its proletarian strength and courage exists than the fact that during these days on which the fascist bloodhound was loosed on the Communist Party by Federal and State authori- ties, only one solitary printed edition of its official paper, the Western Worker, failed to appear. The new issue of the Western Worker (Vol. 3, No. 32) rises above the technical difficulties im- posed by the reign of terror to sound the clarion call for new struggle. This issue carries on page one a statement by Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party, and Sam Darcy, San Francisco district organizer, called “The Commu- nist Program—Only Way Out for Labor NOW.” Its leading headline roars “Demonstrate August First.’” The new issue carries on the battle against Fascism, it reports and interprets world eyents, {t includes many new stories of significance to the working class. And it also carries on the campaign to publish the Western Worker as a semi-weekly paper! This in spite of the events of the Police-vigilante terror! The courage of our western comrades in smash- ing through this terror—as indicated in the pow- erful emergence of the Western Worker—is proof of the deathless and dauntless strength of the Communist Party. Put the Communist Party on the Ballot! | ates THOUSAND signatures are need- ed to place the Communist Party on the ballot in Ohio. The deadline for the presentation of these signatures, origin- ally set for August 1, has been extended for ten days. In Mlinois less than a month remains to collect the balance of the number of names neces- sary to place the Communist Party on the ballot, A similar situation prevails in Boston, This list might be extended. But these three examples are, we believe, sufficient indication of a state of affairs which should be given careful at- tention and effort at once. Hlections are an important, necessary and in- tegral part of the work of the Communist Party. During election campaigns the Communist Party not only spreads knowledge of its aims and activi- ties, its class-struggle program; it makes of these elections a powerful method of carrying on the actual struggles of the working class—against job- lessness and hunger, against Fascism and war, for social insurance, In the course of elections the actual day-to-day work of the Communist Party is immeasurably strengthened. Innumerable workers can be—and are—rallied around the banner of the Party. A great majority of these workers became staunch fighters in our ranks, on every class-struggle front. Such increased opportunities for Communist work as exist in elections should never be neglected nor their importance minimized, as seems to be the case in Ohio, Boston, Illinois and other dis- tricts. With the November elections approaching, with the deadlines for the necessary signatures looming ever closer, every Communist, every sympathetic worker in the trade unions, workers’ clubs and fraternal organizations should rally as many of his friends and fellow-workers as possible into activity in the collection of signatures. Workers everywhere! Begin today to secure these needed names. Place our Party on the ballot wherever elections are to be held. Let the pro- gram of the Communist Party reach every single worker in the couffiry! pa eh oe sated lishing the harvesting of its grain USSR Sets | New Mark In Harvest Record of °33 Excelled By July 31; Crop Is Reported Excellent (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW (By Radio), Aug. 6— The harvesting of the grain has been unrolled throughout the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. By July 31, grain has been harvested from over 87,000,000 acres; 32,500,000 acres more than by this date in 1933. The region of the Ukraine is fin- cultures, Simultaneously, the grain of the new crop is being brought to the elevators in a continuous stream by the collective state farms, The majority of the collective state farms are successfully managing their fulfillment of the year’s plan of grain delivery. In the Odessa region, by Aug. 1,/ the state grain was delivered, and amounted to over 200 per cent more than the delivery of last year. One hundred and fifty collective farms in this region have completely finished the year’s plan of grain de- livery. Simultaneously with the harvest- ing there began also, in such places as Western and Eastern Si- beria, the late harvesting. From all reports, the crop there is excellent. Soviet C. P. Sharpens Fight Against La st Cheaters in Trade (Special to the Dally Worker) MOSCOW, Aug. 6 (By Radio) — The newspapers here have pub- lished the decision of the Centra) Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in regard to the struggle with cheating in weighing, measuring, the use of wrong scales, weights, and measures. The decision concerns itself also with the violation of established re- tail prices in the retail stores. That such events may take place in the Soviet chain of commercial enterprises is explained by the fact that within these commercial en- terprises are still remnants of those former parasitic elements who, as retained in certain places of the Soviet commercial apparatus, con- tinue to work in their own interests, for personal gain, according to the practice of former traders, unscrup- ulously cheating their customers. Soviet trade without capitalists, trade without speculators, should in every way always aim to better sat- isfy the toilers with food products, with clothing, with articles for the home and for cultural use. Proposing to intensify the struggle with mercenary cheating customers, the Central Committee issued a warning to Chairman Zelensky of Centrosoyus (the Central Consum- ers Cooperative) and Supplies Com- missar Mikoyan for their insuffi- ciently decisive struggle with such violations in the stores under their auspices. The Central Committee also warned Secretary Shvernik of the All-Union Central Trade Union organization for the absence of a systematically organizational control of the trade union over work, labor supply sections and consumers ‘eo- operatives. Huge Knitgoods Mills Planned for Siberia and Middle Volga Region MOSCOW.—A new huge unit of the Knit Goods Trust will be opened in West Siberia, it has been announced here recently. The com- bine will be composed of seven large mills that will produce sweaters, hosiery, underwear and gloves for the workers in large industries here. The workers in this huge enter- prise will number over 30,000. Three separate plants will do cotton spinning, wool spinning and dyeing. A duplicate group of seven fac- tories is planned for the Middle Volga region. These, together with the new rayon mills, will do much to meet the rising standard of liv- ing of the Russian masses. The annual production of each of the knitting mills is estimated at 64,000,000 pairs of hosiery, 18,000,000 pieces of underwear, 8,000,- 000 pieces of knitted garments and 25,500,000 pairs of gloves. The cost of each of the mills is to be 200,000,000 rubles and the value of the gross production is to reach the sum of 420,000,000 rubles @ year.

MEET IN NIAGARA FALLS NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y—Over 600 workers met here Aug. 1 to demonstrate against war and fas- cism and to protest against the war munitions being turned out by the great chemical factories im this city. Communist Party leaders spoke. TWO MEETS IN PORTLAND PORTLAND, Me.—Two Aug. 1 meetings were held here at which over 500 demonstrated against war and fascism, under the auspices of the Communist Party. Paul Burns the petncipal speaker at THE ri. ay J 4 Lj wa \aA A NGELO Bh stead By Burck From the First “World War to the Second By NEMO THESE FIFTEEN YEARS (Continued) HE struggle of the German bourgeoisie for the revision of the Versailles Treaty beeame the focal point of all the war dangers in Europe. German fascism has converted the whole country into a mili- tary barracks and seeks to buy from world capitalism a revision of the Ver- sailles Treaty by offering its hired services against the Soviet Union. German fascism hastens the formation of its front of intervention, since it hopes in this way most easily to arrive at the ful- filment of the predatory plans of its politics of force. “Space in the East” is the slogan of the Brown murder fascism, the slogan under which it is attempting to organize the crusade of world capital against the country of free socialist labor. At the London World Economic Conference, Hugen- berg handed over a memorandum in the name of the Hitler government in which the following was put forward for overcoming the world economic crisis: “The second means would be to give the nations which lack space territories which will permit them to hand over a colonization region to an ener- getic and creative race where they could accom- plish great work on behalf of peace. .. War, revo- lution and internal chaos are the*causes of this phenomenon. In Russia and a great part of the Bast this process of destruction is continuing up to the present moment, A halt must be called to it.” The proposal for the colonization of the Soviet Union which is contained in the Hugenberg plan today still corresponds to the idea of Hitler. In the Daily Express, Hitler demands the right of ex- panding into the wide territories on Germany's eastern frontier in order to make use of those auxiliary sources which under Bolshevism are lying fallow. Hitler. declares that this is the only pos- sibility of saving Germany and Europe from going under. In order to reach this counter-revolutionary goal, Hitler is ready to make an agreement with the devil himself. When Herve proposed a Franco- German military alliance against the Soviet Union, Hitler regarded the proposed alliance as too nar- row and he answered: “Precisely in view of the enormous danger threat- © ening all civilized countries, I consider the conclu- sion of a military alliance limited to two states as very dangerous. Every doubt which can be at- tached to the inner meaning of this alliance weakens the sum total of forces which can be set up against Bolshevism. Precisely on account of this danger, I consider the drawing of Britain, America, Italy and Japan into this front of anti- Bolshevik resistance to be, indispensable.” Hitler offers his services for sale particularly to the British bourgeoisie in order to bring about a German-British military alliance against the Soviet Union. Of the 26 points of the National-Socialist program, there is only one which has not been broken by Hitler, namely, point three, which de- mands land for the Third Empire, and therefore, blatently brings out the imperialist character of German fascism, Hardly was fascism in power be- fore the fascist dictatorial regime went over to an aggressive anti-Soviet. policy. It is no wonder threfore, that the Koelnische Zeitung of June 25, 1982, could write: “In no other country have the recent events in Germany evoked so much sympathy as in Japan.” » In a report in the Deutsche Aligemeine Zeitung (March 26, 1982), it is remarked: “Japan desires a well-armed Germany and sees in Hitler the strongest opponent of Marxsim and Bolshevism.” Why, we may ask, does Japan desire a well- armed Germany? Shall the German Reichswehr perhaps assist in protecting the former German South Sea Islands against American battle cruisers? Or shall not rather well-armed Germany, together with Japanese imperialism, encircle the Soviet Union? Ever more clearly have the contours of German-Japanese “friendship” shown themselves to be the contours of an anti-Soviet war bloc in \ which Great Britain appears as the third member of the alliance, In the post-war period, a gigantic struggle set in between Britain and America, Britain had got rid of the commercial and naval competition of im- perial Germany and had exchanged it for the far more powerful competition of American imperial- ism, which emerged from the war as creditor of the whole world. The Anglo-American struggle for world domination found expression in the struggle for the settlement of the war debts, for domina- tion of Canada and Australia and the Far Eastern and South American markets, and in the compe- tition of naval armaments. The development of Anglo-American relations in the past years has brought the world to the brink of a new war pre- cipice, Fascist Italy also is raging against the Ver- Sailles Treaty, which awarded her too small a share of the booty. More than once the two “Latin sis- ter nations” have threatened to come into collision because France has stood as an obstacle in the way of the Italian drive for expansion in the Mediter- ranean, in North Africa and in the Balkans, With the advance of the Japanese troops, the Struggle for the repartition of the world by means of armed force was put concretely on the order of the day. Japanese imperialism seized Manchuria, with its 30,000,000 inhabitants, it commenced a war against China with aerial bombs and poison gases, it prepared the occupation of Mongolia and con- verted Manchuria into a strategical base for an onslaught against the Soviet Union. The Japanese attack has ushered in the new partition of China and has led to an extraordinary intensification of all the antagonisms in the Pacific. The question of a Japanese-American war has assumed an acute character. The preparation for a decisive armed struggle for domination in the Pacific constitutes the basic content of Japanese-American relations. Great Britain also has been seriously hit by the violent Japanese economic offensive in the whole of the British Empire and by Japanese expansion. in the Pacific. Onee more peace has become de- pendent on chance. Fifteen years of so-called peace have passed, years which have been filled with the most intense On the ‘World Front ——By HARRY GANNE: Argentina and the Chaco Wax Manchester Rats Y WAY of Argentina we learn that the Communist Party of Paraguay is about to hold its first national conven. tion in the midst of a war that has already cost over 20,000 lives. The main problem befora the convention is how to transform the war now being waged in the interest of the native landowners, the British and Argentinian bour- geoisie, into a civil war for national emancipation, for the agrarian, anti-imperialist revolution. While Standard Oil and the American tin and banking inter- ests in Bolivia directly goad that country in the slaughter over the Gran Chaco, the British maneuver with Paraguay mainly through their puppets in the Argentine government. The General Justo regime is not averse to playing the intermediary for British imperial ism, For the General is the owner of a large slice of land in Gran Chaco which would be greatly in creased in value if Paraguay won the war and the spoils. eg, wee ESPITE Roosevelt's embargo (which the General accepted “in principle” as all capitalist powe ers accept disarmament and peace), provisions, arms, equipment and uniforms are transported to Para- guay through Argentine ports and over Argentine railroads, The Mehanovich Co., an Argen< tine concern, has put all its boats on the River La Plata at the dis- posal of the Paraguayan govern- ment. In Missiones and Alto Parana, the Argentinian authorities shang- hai the peon slaves on the planta« tions and ship them over the fron- tigr into the Paraguayan armies ta supply cannon fodder. oe ECAUSE of the anti-war and anti-fascist agitation of the Communist Party of Argentina, the Justo government. has set up @ special police department on the order of the Fascist Gestapo, or the LaGuardia strike-breaking rifle squads. It is called the “Special Section Against Communism.” Raids, murders, third degrees, slugs gings are conducted regularly. Over 40 of our comrades have been packed into the Rosario jail, with only enough standing room, and many of them are on the verge of death. At the same time, the Argentine government permits the Fascist gangs to arm, to maintain barracks, and to train for civil war against the working class. When some 2,000 defenseless and unarmed Indians fled from the hor= rors of war in Bolivia into the “neutral” country of Argentina, General Justo’s troops fired on them, killing many and driving the rest back into the war inferno. $c ee | Ratacste reports from Manchester that the British cotton mill owners have refused any further shipments on credit to Germany, even though it means the shutting down of British mills and the throwing of 10,000 more British workers out of employment, are of the greatest significance. These shrewd Manchester exploiters know when rats should desert a sinking ship. Not only is the economic catas« trophe in Germany becoming worse, but the cancer is spreading on the already badly weakened body of world capitalism. The Manchester bosses know, for instance, that the German State Statistical Department recently re= ported that the total amount owed by Germany on all foreign debts amounts to 85,000,000,000 marks, which is something over $25,000,< 000,000. conflicts, war dangers and preparations for war, 15 years in which bitter trade wars have been raging such as have always proved to be the fore- runners of armed conflicts, The ending of the first world war did not bring tranquility and peace to the wide masses of the toiling people, either in the countries of the con- querors or of the conquered. Britain sacrificed in the war 750,000 dead, twice as many wounded, £8,000,000,000 wer expenditure, a tenfold increase of the national debt and the loss of over 2,000 ships with a tonnage of about 8,000,000. And what was the result? Great Britain, which went forward in order to safeguard its world dominion against all competition, had to cede the first place in the world market to the United States. It is true, German hegemony on the Continent of Europe has been broken, but in its place has come French hege- mony with its serious air threat to the island king- dom. The proud structure of the British Empire is marked by cracks and fissures. The British budget deficit in 1931-32 amounted to £37,000,000. The decline of the British Empire, the proud victor of the World War, was clearly expressed in its depar- ture from the principle of free trade and the giving up of the gold standard. At the end of the war, millions of workers found themselves on the streets and even today the factory gates have not opened to them, The burden of taxation has mounted steadily. That the position of the victorious states in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe has been an extremely desperate one in the post-war period, is well known to all. During these 15 years there has been neither tranquility nor peace. Bloody war has been fol- lowed by armed peace. The struggle over the pre- paration of the second world war has developed directly out of the struggle over the liquidation of the first world war. During these 15 years, the im- Perialists used the peace as a breathing space for better preparation of a new war, of a second inter- vention. Under imperialism, war and peace are two Sides of the same medal. (Fo be continued) ~~ ‘T is more, 19 per cent of it is in short term notes, which means that payment falls due on principal and interest at very short intervals. Now with sources of new foreign loans drying up quicker than the Kansas wheat fields, with a winter of famine speeding ahead, with the . growing instability of the Hitler government, a financial crash is maturing in Germany which wil? make 1923 inflation look like an amateur dress rehearsal. Then in about four months the Young and Dawes loan moratoriums come up again. Of course, on Mussolini’s theory that humanity hasn’t begun to ap= preciate its capacity for suffering lower living standards, Hitler will still further smash down the toilers’ wages. In other words, the capitale ist press talk about a “leftward” move of Hitlerism in Germany is the sheerest poppycock. + eh oe peck to the rupture of Japanese negotiations with the Soviet Union over the sale of the Eastern Railway, the M: jukuo authorities prepared the ground by some provocative deeds. All four Soviet cultural clubs of the workers on the Chinese Eastern Railway were closed down. The newspapers in Harbin carried on a vicious bar- rage against the Soviet Union, in spired by Tokio. It so happens that the railway workers’ clubs are only cultural centers in Harbin the population generally. fi i STEEL WORKERS PROTEST MADISON, Ill, Aug. 5—The Aus gust 1 demonstration against war here was attended by 115 workers, many of them employed by the Commonwealth Steel Co., who ral- lied to the call of the Communist Party and Young Communist League.
