And thousands of impoverished farm- ers and their families, led by the United Farmers’ League, are preparing to move in “drought marches” on the state capitals. Roosevelt, for all his honeyed talk, is seizing on the terrors of the drought to force through with capitalist ruthlessness his essential farm program— to drive the small farmers off the land so that the wealthy landlords and big farm owners can monopo- lize farm production To those farmers “who cannot make both ends meet,” Roosevelt offers the grim hope of a new mass migration to the Northwest, where without funds, machines, or land they will once again slave for the mortgage sharks. But the impoverished “cannot make both ends meet” not because of “natural” causes; but because it is the capitalist bankers, mortgage holders, landlords, and monopoly railroads and grain merchants who are crushing the small farmer to the wall. “Tt is a silly tale,” says Roosevelt, “that the A. A. A. is ‘forcing’ the farmers off the land.” farmers But more than one million farmers pauperized in the last twelve months by the A.A.A. acreage- reducing program can shout back to this hypocrite that the A.A.A. is driving whole’ communities into the swamp of degradation, and off their farms. Roosevelt talks with brutal cynicism to the im- poverished farmers. “If these farmers want to go on farming land that takes them deeper and deeper into the red, that is their funeral,” he says. Thus Roosevelt says to the small farmer, if you will not submit to our capitalist program of protecting the big landlords, then you can starve and be damned. The only way for the small and middle farmers to °e themselves, as they are rapidly learning, is by unitedly struggling against the New Deal and for drought relief. The struggles should begin in all localities to win relief, locally and immediately. These local campaigns should lead up to the State Drought Relief Marches on September 14, which were called for by the United Farmers’ League in its Drought Relief Manifesto. The Communist Party supports the demands of the drought-stricken farmers. It calls upon all dis- tricts of the Party in the drought area to make this a major issue. The Party members, city and farm workers, must be mobilized in unity with the drought nd New Deal siricken farmers, to take part in helping and leading these struggles. The Communist Party has already proposed the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill, which calls for the Tepeal of the A.A.A., and would furnish relief and protection to small and middle farmers suffering from the drought. It urges the most energetic support for the Sept. 14th marches. Solidarity of Workers and the L.L.O. HE Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor is now discussing the question of whether or not the com- ing national convention of the A. F. of L. will affiliate to the International Labor Organization at Geneva. This appendage of the League of Na- tions, the I. L. O,, is not an organization which makes for international solidarity of the workers. On the contrary, it is a body which makes more effective the service of the trade union bureaucracy to its own capitalist government. The imperialist governments themselves pick and control their agents on the I.L.0. and make all decisions. In the United States, the A. F. of L. trade union officialdom is already a part and parcel of the ma- chinery of the Roosevelt, imperialist government: The A. F. of L. leadership, in all decisions, acts as the agent of the Roosevelt, employers’ govern- ment. The A. F. of L. leaders attempt to carry out in labors’ ranks the Roosevelt program of hunger, fascism and war—the program of strikebreaking, unionsmashing, company unions, and suppression of workers’ rights. HEN the question of affiliation to the I.L.O. is Gebated at the A. F. of L. convention, it will be taken up by the Green machine for the same purpose that the Roosevelt imperialist government discusses affiliation to the League of Nations. The motive governing any move in favor of affiliation to the ILO. is: “Will affiliation aid the aims of the imperialists and their government on the world arena? Will affiliation be of advantage to the U. 8. imperialist government in winning foreign markets and carrying out the United States capitalist gov- ernment’s international war program? At the San Francisco convention the delegates representing the rank and file will advocate real international solidarity of the working class. This international solidarity has been demonstrated time and again in such world-wide campaigns of the workers as the fight for the freedom of Thaelmann nd against fascism; the campaign against war preparations and the fight for trade union unity. ‘This world solidarity is based on a policy of strug- gle egainst the imperialist policies of these govern- ‘ments to which the Wolls and Greens are bound hand and foot TEENIE IORI, ” . Defeat the West Coast Terror! 5 agi e dispatches from the West Coast carry the news that the notorious Captain Hynes, head of the Red Squad of the Los Angeles police, proposed national legislation to outlaw the Communist Party at a recent session of the Congressional committee to tnvestigate “subversive” | activities This follows in compiete harmony with the furious wave of arrest of militant labor organizers | and Communist Party members and leaders. Thirty workers are in San Francisco city jail on a hunger strike. Thirty-one are imprisoned in Sacramento, California is today labor's outpost in the struggle against growing fascist terror. The ruling class of California, aided and abetted by the Roosevelt ad- ministration, has flung down the gage to the Amer- ican working class. It is making a definite attempt to crush the Communist Party and militant union- ism. The workers must take up the fight and defeat the terror in California as the first step in the fight to defeat rising reaction. The Daily Worker calls upon all labor organiza- | tions, all organizations of professionals to send im- mediate protests and demands for the relief of the prisoners to James Dean, City Manager of Sacra- mento; District Attorney Neil McAllister and Judge Will Carragher. Raise funds for their defense in your shop, union or club and send it to Box 646, Sacramento, Calif, HILE the LaGuardia regime finds | money with which to pay the bankers under the terms of the Bankers’ Agreec- ment, LaGuardia has again raised the ery of a “relief crisis.” Pointing both to Albany and to Wash- ington, LaGuardia, while attempting to pass the buck for relief to the city’s unemployed, holds out the threat of taxation on the commonest articles of consumption, on the wages of the work- ers, and on-subway and elevated train rides. To meet present relief exigencies, the relief administration has slashed thousands off the work relief lists, After re-application, and after the usual period of “investigation,” these unemployed workers are “eligible” for home relief, at an average of less than half the wages received on work relief, Clearly, a concerted drive is being made to place all work relief on a forced labor basis. Workers, whose burget “requirements” on home relief are more than what they are receiving on the relief project, are being fired. Laborers receiving $12 weekly relief wages, if they are the heads of large families, are being retained on the jobs. | All single workers and all married couples are being fired from the projects. Skilled and white- collar workers are being dropped under a recent work relief ruling by which a worker must have six dependents in order to remain on the relief jobs paying $20 weekly. . . b Fat United Action Conference on Work, Relief and Unemployment has clearly formulated the demands of the New York unemployed and relief workers. While leading the fight for adequate un- employment relief and for jobs at trade union wages, the conference demands that funds shall be provided by taxation on all large incomes and in- heritances, a tax on the super-profits of. the public utilities, and taxes on all large realty holdings and corporations operating within the city limits, Added to this demand for decent jobs at trade union wages and for adequate relief, the organiza- tions affiliated to the United Action Conference, together with millions of unemployed workers, workers in the trade unions and in the shops throughout the country, demand the enactment of | the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance | Bill as the chief immediate need of the working Population, and the only immediate solution of the unemployment question. . | For A United Knitgoods Strike! IHOUSANDS of knitgoods workers have quit their shops in one of the latest walkouts in New York’s growing series of strikes. Considered at one time an in- dustry which paid relatively high wages, the last five or six years have seen pay- envelopes slashed to a starvation level. The story of the introduction of new machinery, the displacing of skilled workers by low-paid, un- skilled and young labor, an oft-told tale in many industries, is, in brief, the history of the industry. American Federation of Labor moguls have paid little or no attention to the knitgoods workers ex- cept to squabble about which set of bureaucrats shall collect the workers’ dues. Following their same policy of dividing the work- ers, the leaders of the LL.G.W.U. and the U.T.w. tried to call their strike as a “surprise move,” aimed principally, it is now admitted, against the mili- tant Knitgoods’ Workers Industrial Union. The road of the leaders of the I.L.G.W.U. and the U.T.W. is the road to the defeat of the strike and the worsening of the conditions of the men and women in the industry. This divides the work- ers! The path pointed out by the Knitgoods’ Work- ers Industrial Union can win the strike and im- prove the conditions of the knitgoods workers. This path is: one strike committee of all three unions, one picket line and one settlement. This unites the workers! The leaders of the International and the United Textile Workers have received the appeal of the Knitgoods’ Workers Industrial Union for a united strike. Thus far they have not answered. But the workers should give their answer on the Picket line by building a fighting unity of the work- ers of all unions. Such a strike unity and the resulting victory will mean much to the coming struggles of labor in New York. Join the Communist | 3% EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N. Y.

Austrian C.P. Prepares for Mass Strikes VIENNA, Aug. 9—In the midst of the recent fighting in Vienna, | the Communist Party of Austria is- sued an appeal calling for the joint Struggle of the working class | against all Fascists and for the set-| ting up of a proletarian dictator-| ship. | The appeal, despite the Fascist terrorism, is circulating in thous- | ands through the workers quarters of Vienna, and in the factories. The full text of the appeal fol- lows: “For Work, Bread, and Power! Republican Guards, Toilers! “The struggle in the fascist camp continues, Brown, green and black fascists are endeavoring to seize | Power. A large section of them, members of the government and the executive, are anxious for a coalition of all fascists. Why? In order that they may be able to Oppress the working class more brutally than before. Others again, especially the clergy, are striving for supreme rule over the whole People. But we workers say: “Neither the one nor the other, but a struggle for the extermina- tion of all fascists! The Dollfuss government has ceased to exist.

THREATENS TO CALL TROOPS PEKIN, Ill, Aug. 9.— Sheriff James Crosby yesterday threatened strikers at the American Distillery Company. The threat followed a mass picketing demonstration yes- terday, during which scabs, attempt— ing to break through the lines, were repulsed, by the strikers. Two of the scabs are in a hospital af the First World War to the Second By NEMO THE WORLD IN ARMS (Continued) The real competition in naval armaments has only set in since the entry of the Japanese into Manchuria and the struggle which has consequent- ly flared up in the Pacific. In 1933, the five lead~ ing Great Powers had 626,000 tons in construc- tion. Since then the British naval budget has vill. | been raised by £3,000,000 compared with 1933 to a total of £56,550,000, and covers, among other things, the building of seven new cruisers. America’s five- year plan foresees the construction of 102 ships at an expenditure of $500,000,000. Japanese naval plans are to be realized in three stages, with a total expenditure of $605,000,000, Italy at the present moment has 22 submarines as well as numerous other units under construction. The naval budget of Germany for 1934 has risen to 236,243,200 marks. And all this is in the interest of the “freedom of the seas.” That the mad competition in armaments on the part of the imperialists must devour inconceivable sums is obvious, In 1868 the whole world expended $460,000,000 on armaments; forty years later, in 1908, this amount had risen to $1,455,000,000, and in 1913 it had gone further to $2,531,000,000, In the post-war period, however, expenditure ‘on arma- ments even according to the official data, which are underestimated, amounted to the following sums: 1925 $3,497,000,000 1926 ». 3,557,000,000 1927 + 3,837,000,000 1928 . 3,950,000,000 1929 . 4,107,000,000 1930 4,128,000,000 1931 we 4,440,080,000 pions Takes renebss Si Fe s+ 5,000,000,000, From the time of the Geneva Disarmament Conference meeting in 1925 up to the so-called dis- armament celebration year of 1932, i. e., in a period of eight years, the official war budgets have amounted to a total sum of $32,476,000,000. From the end of 1919 to the end of 1934, the official armament budgets, which represent a very incom- plete picture, would show a total sum. of $50,000,000,000. When, however, the American delegation to the Geneva Conference claimed $450,000, i. e., a per- centage of the armament budget for their expenses, they encountered violent opposition in the U. S. A. Congress. In 1931, the total exports of Germany, England and the U. S. A. did not suffice to pay for the competitive armaments. The French mili- tary budget is 50 per cent higher in 1934 than in 1914, Japan’s war budget rose from 494,000,000 yen in 1929 to 1,330,000,000 yen in 1934, i. e., from 28 to 58 per cent of the total budget. In 1932, Eng- land’s expenses for liquidating the old war and Preparing for the new amounted to 63.1 per cent of the total budget. In June, 1934, Britain refused Payment of the interest on the war debt to America, since this payment, as was stated in the British note, “would be equivalent to’throwing a bomb into the European arena.” Hitler Germany is spending over a third of its whole budget on armaments at a moment when the toiling masses are subected to an intensified star- vation regime. In almost all capitalist countries some 70 per cent of the income from taxes and cus- toms is made over to the war account. The capi- talist world is expending £4,500,000 on armaments every day. Such is—in the briefest outline—the picture of the capitalist world in August, 1934, Incapable of mastering the economic crisis and satisfying the masses, incapable of ensuring peace and solving the contradictions, the capitalist world is bristling with weapons and preparing a new slaughter. * . * IX. POISON GASES AND PLAGUE GERMS “Air protection is urgently required,” the rulers shout every day into the ears of the masses. Cer- tainly air protection is urgently required for the threatening dangers. Air protection is urgently needed for the internationally-linked armament industry for which the organization of air pro‘ec- tion opens new sofirces of profit. Privately, how- ever, the military chiefs admit that there is no ef- fective means of protection against modern air attacks, and all the aerial maneuvers have strength- ened them in this view. The time of August, 1914, has gone by, when unctuously worded ultimatums and notes were ex- changed and solemn war declarations issued be- fore war was begun. Today the world is sliding into war. The population will only be made con- scious of the beginning of war actions by the burst- ing of aerial bombs. The /time has also gone by when the men went to jhe battlefield and left wives and children safe a, home. Lieutenant-General Metzch writes: “The dis- tinction between front, base and rear, which partly impressed itself on the military character of the previous war, has vanished. Everything is front.” And his military colleague, General Altrock, re- marks: “The population of extensive areas is at every moment near to destruction. The next war will be rather a mass annihilation of the civil population than a fight between armies.” But let us be fair. We frankly admit that the imperialists are at least full of good will for the most rapid ending of the threatening war. Listen to what Professor Jeergensen of Denmark has to say: “In a word, if one wages war expressly against the civil population, and with the most terrible means possible, then this would appear to favor the forcing of a quick peace.” - Enormous “advances” have been made in the sphere of aerial warfere. Three kinds of bombs find application: explosive, combustion and poison gas bombs. Ten aeroplanes are able to carry each a thousand bombs of 20 kilograms, i. e., 200,000 kilograms of bombs in all. Explosive bombs are of all sizes, from the hundred ‘kilogram bomb, which an reduce a house to ruins, to the American giant bomb, which weighs 1,950 kilograms and is two and a half times as large as a man, As regards combustion bombs, the one kilogram bomb filled with thermite develops up to three thousand de- Brees of heat. Its “advantage” consists in the fact that it cannot be extinguished by water. And then “there are the poison gas bombs, . . .

Now they receive only $2.50 per week and board, NEW HOPE, Ala., Aug. 9—Negro | On the World Front ——By HARRY GANNE! | His Majesty’s Labor Lieutenants | Advice from the Times Zurich United Front of Youth HEN the recent bloody events in Austria made \it clear to all not wearing the “peace” blinkers of the im- perialist masters that a new world slaughter was threat- ening all humanity, the Com- munist Party of Great Britain sent an urgent proposal for a united anti-war and anti-fascist front to the Joint Council of the Labor Party and the trade union General Council. , His majesty’s labor lieutenants replied in a style that could not be surpassed by Sir John Simon, Brit- ish Foreign Minister. paeenruaere HE Joint Council “is of the opin- ion,” said the rejection of the United Front offer, “that there are no new circumstances which justify the trade union, political parlia- mentary and co-operative move- ments departing from the policy on this question which has already been submitted to and approved by \their respective national conferences and congresses.” Sk ee ok ITLER’S instigation of the mur- der of Dullfuss as a signal for war; the massing of over 100,000 of Mus- solini’s troops for war; the tremen- dous air and navy arms race throughout the world, are, indeed, “new circumstances” to the faithful servants of British impe- rialism. These gentlemen have already declared they would support a “de- fensive” war of British imperial ism, and until the wer breaks out there can be no “new circumstan- ces” for them. The “new circums- tances” for them will be how to mobilize the growingly militant toiling masses behind the war chariot of the British colonial slave- holders, Despite the rejection of the | United Front proposals, the Com- munist Party declared: “In pur- suance of our allegiance to the working class and its interests, we shall continue our efforts to build up the United Front, in spite of your refusal and opposition to take part therein.” Pea ei ENSING the rising apprehension of the rank and file in the Labor Party over the chauvinist, reform- ist program of their leadership, the chief organ of British imperialism, the Times, recently devoted one of its leading articles to political ad- vice to its agents in the Labor Party, “What Exactly is the Labor Party’s Objective?” is the title of the Times’ article, aiming to clarify the role of one its chief bulwarks— the ruling strata of the Labor Party. “Hithereto,’ says the Times, “the Labor Party has been evolutionary, as opposed to revolutionary, in its methods. Its title and its refusal to style itself the Socialist Party have allowed it to secure a broader base in trade uniomism™than it would otherwise have had. The rev- olutionary forces in the world have dubbed it and all political parties of its kind ‘reformist’ as a term of reproach; and so keen is the janxiety of advanced politicians to be an acknowledged vanguard that many have themselves accepted the description as a reproach instead of a recognition of practical sense and have adopted, for the sake of the deeper dye, the phrases of revolu- tionaries.” Ge 'UCH solicitude for keeping the Labor Party leadership true to its real role in the scheme of Brit- ish imperialism is especially evoked by the United Front appeals by the Communist Party, as further on in its article the Times says, “There is no risk of the Labor Party's being caught in so plain a snare. The direct advances of Communism are easily rejected... .” Which, of course, permits the British slaveholders to breath a sigh of relief and to continue their feevrish war Preparations. * os d lypdetles the Socialist Party lead- ership in the United States is not so openly advised by Wall » Street to reject any United Front appeals of the Communist Party, the result to date has been pre- cisely the same as if they had been. Mr. Norman Thomas is not so easily be caughe in the Commu- nist snare of a genuine United Front against war and fascism which might injure Roosevelt's Program of war and fascism, Bc ee Na bninigiers weeks ago the Commu- nist Party of Switzerland pro- posed a United Front against war and fascism to the Socialist Party. No official reply was received, though the Socialist leaders re- sorted to the most slanderous at- tacks against the Communist Party in the press. A general meeting of the Young Socialists, however, in the Canton of Zurich and the city of Zurich acted quite differently. The youth in the Socialist Party of Switzer- land, more acutely faced with the war danger, not tied down to the . | traditions of betz=yal wuvin= — The tradesmen marched to Car-| Raabe Fits: ism of their hoary leaders, voted for the United Front with the Com- CW) munist Party. At a general membership meete ing on the question they gave their unanimous support to the Commu- V nist United Front proposal. They declared their intent supporting a motion for the accep tance of the proposals to their Party Committee. They protested, in the course of the discussion, against the attempts at sabotage represented by the tone of the So- cialist Party newspaper, The Young Sociialist League at Horgen has also taken up the ac- Laer of the Communist pro- posals with great energy, and h issued an appeal to the Seclallek Youth and S. P. members to join in action for the ‘proposals, ay rasan ss
