THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1934 Unity Against Green’s Expulsion Order ILLIAM GREEN and the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor sounded the war note last Saturday: war against the Communists in the trade unions. : It is true that Mr. Green singled out the Communists as his main foe — and correctly so — for the Communists have always fought, and will continue fighting, Green’s anti- working class policies. But let no one be fooled. Green’s attack is not leveled at the Communists alone: it is directed against every militant worker in the A. F. of L. who opposes the class-collabora- tion policies, the gangster and racketeer rule of Green and the Executive Council. Green will not only attempt to expel Commu- nists from the unions; he will try to banish mili- tant Socialists and all other honest unionists from the A. F. of L. The expulsion-deportation drive may begin with Communists but it will not stop there. It wifl spread out to include Socialist work- ers and all other militant elements in the unions who want to make the trade unions fighting in- struments of the working class in their struggle against employing class greed. We Communists call particularly upon the So- cialist workers to heed this warning. We cannot urge strongly enough upon Socialist workers in the A. F. of L. the need for united action against Green's expulsion policy. * * . E CALL upon the Socialist workers in the A. F. of L. to unite together with the Communist trade unionists against the Green policies. Cer- tainly, despite programmatic differences between our parties, a united front against the expulsion policies, against gangsterism in the unions, for trade union democracy, can be formed. A united front of Communist, Socialist and other militants in the trade unions will be able to mobilize the rank and file of the A. F. of L. for a successful struggle for improved conditions and against the latest Green edicts. Such unity will not only help defeat Green’s czarist expul- sion order but will serve to weld the A. F. of L. membership for the greater struggles ahead. Such unity will go a long way in the direction of organ- izing the forces of militant unionism for a struggle to free the A. F. of L. unions of racketeering and gangster control. Such a united front today will make it far more difficult for the employers to slash wages, to erush union organization and build company union- ism in its stead. Socialist trade unionists! Unity with your Communist and other militant brother unionists is your plain duty. Let this unity be built promptly and effectively! Hayes and the Terror r A recent radio speech supposedly directed against the vigilante terror on the West Coast, Arthur Garfield Hayes, Chief Counsel for the Civil Liberties Union, joined with those reactionary forces who are now endeavoring to prepare the public mind for mass terror against Com- munists and for the suppression of the Commu- nist Party. Assuming the mock attitude of Justice herself sitting on a cloud above the class battle, this glib, liberal lawyer, without the slightest concern for facts, lumped fascism and Communism together, endeavoring to picture Communists, as well as fas- cists, as advocates of terror and tyranny. “These people,” he declared (referring to the vigilantes) “adopt fascist methods of terrorism to prevent fascism. They adopt Communist methods of tyranny to avoid Communism.” “The American Civil Liberties Union,” he said at another point in his speech “Does not distinguish between Communists in Russia, fascists in Ger- many or vigilantes in the United States.” Mr. Hayes knows quite well that Communists are fundamentally opposed to terrorism. He also knows that Communists are opposed to tyranny. Mr. Hayes knows that in the Soviet Union the widest democracy prevails for the masses of the people, a greater and broader democracy than exists in any other country. But Mr. Hayes choses to ignore these well established facts. He chooses to pose as a liberal, standing between the classes, above the class struggle. He would make it appear that he fights equally against Communists and fascists, against struggling work- ers and exploiting capitalists. In doing so, he gives aid to the capitalists and to advancing fas- cism. On the West Coast the Communists were in the forefront of the battle of the marine strikers in their fight for bread and union recognition. The Communists at no time resorted to terrorism, but worked to organize and unite the masses of the waterfront workers and the workers generally in ® fight to win their justified demands. The vigilantes on the other hand were the paid fascist gangsters of the employers. Their aim was to defeat the workers by means of outright terrorism, by beatings and torture, They were sent to raid the Communist headquarters for the sole purpose of beheading the strike and of defeat- ing the striking workers. Their aim was to aid the police and the militia in their efforts to ter- rorize the workers into returning to work under the bosses’ terms. Is there no difference here between the vigilantes and the Communists? The Communists were fighting at the head of the masses against poverty and misery and for improved conditions. They were relying on the ssganized mass strength of the workers. ‘The vigilantes were acting for those who would DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1934 continue the present low wages, miserable conditions enforced on the waterfront workers. To do this they relied on most brutal acts of terror and abrogated all civil rights. long hours and Ht is not “liberalism,” Mr. Hayes, to stand in the middie, between such contending forces—the forces of progress and the forees of black reac- tion. Such a stand is itself reactionary. Such @ stand if endorsed by the Oivil Liberties Union would place them on the side of those who, at all costs, even by the greatest persecution of the masses of people, protect capitalist suffering and exploita- tion. The Civil Liberties Union would do well to make known its stand on this speeeh of its chief counsel Arthur Garfield Hayes. Relief Taxes WAYOR LaGUARDIA’S new tax plan, announced yesterday, for financing city relief, places the burden of providing relief funds on the shoulders of the work- ing population, the small shopkeepers, and the professional people. The lottery plan, whereby the city ex- pects to raise twelve million dollars, is a means of placing the relief load on the masses. With its promise of a substantial reward for a lucky few, it is an ingenious plan to make the workers pay the bills which should be paid by the rich. The one-half of one per cent tax on the gross receipts of all business establishments and stores grossing more than $5,000 annually will eat directly into the bread and butter incomes of the thousands of small storekeepers—it will be taken directly out of their livelihood, Professional workers will also be taxed, at the same rate, on their total gross revenues. Salaries in the higher brackets, however, are entirely ex- empted. . . . NLY the unity of the unemployed and the whole working class, together with the professional workers and the small businessmen, in the united demand for adequate relief and decent work re- lief jobs to be financed by the rich, by those who can afford to pay, will defeat these plans of the LaGuardia regime. Only unity of these groups will force the LaGuardia-Wall Street regime to Open up new avenues of taxation for the financ- ing of relief—taxes on the large incomes and in- heritances, taxes on the tremendous profits of the public utility corporations, on large realty hold- ings and on the large corporations operating within the confines of the city. Employed and unemployed workers, profession- als and small businessmen should mass at the public hearings on the taxation bills today and tomorrow and voice their demands for adequate cash relief at the expense of LaGuardia’s Wall Street masters. The Minneapolis Strike HE settlement which ended the Min- neapolis truck drivers strike is un- satisfactory to the drivers, and does not grant their main demands. Wages are left as they were at fifty cents an hour for drivers and forty cents for inside men, helpers and platform men. This settle- ment was put over on the drivers by the Trotzkyist leaders of local 574, who claimed a “victory” for the workers. Under the terms of the settlement the way is lef open for placket and victimization. These ‘Trotekyist lea®ees have accepted an agreement that in the election to be held under N. R. A. auspices those drivers who remairied at work and scabbed will be allowed to vote in the elections. The Trotzkyists have accepted the federal mediators’ Proposals for this election, which gives every sign of ushering in the company union and weaken- ing the drivers union. . * . THE putting over of this agreement by the Trotzky- ist Dunne brothers and other Trotzkyist lead- ers is of a piece with the misleadership furnished since the beginning of the strike. Since the begin- ning, while Floyd Olson, Farmer Labor governor, has been breaking the strike with his troops, the Trotzkyist leaders have refused to carry on a mili- tant fight against Olson’s strikebreaking. The Trotzkyist leaders delayed until it was too late, any criticism or exposure of the strikebreak- ing being carried on by Olson. They did not put up a fight against Olson’s declaration of martial law. This enabled Olson to issue 9,000 military Permits for the running of scab trucks, which his troops protected. The Trotzkyists to the last, did not carry on any fight or exposure of the Ceneral Labor Union officials sabotage of the strike. They allowed with- out protest these A. F. of L. leaders, a part of Olson’s Farmer Labor machine, to prevent the calling of a general strike in support of the drivers. They silently acceded to this spHtting up of the ranks of the workers which isolated the drivers strike. No steps were taken by these Trotzkyist leaders to win the other A. F. of L. unions over the heads of the officials for support of the drivers, . . . b tein Communist Party put forward three main steps to win the strike — (1) To call out all members of local 574 and reorganize the picket lines. (2) To send committees of the drivers to all union meetings in the city, to shops and fac- tories, and call upon the workers to join the drivers. (3) To call a city United Labor Conference of all unions, unemployed ahd other organizations to or- ganize the General Strike in support of the drivers and for the workers’ right to organize, strike and Picket, for free speech and assemblage, and against martial law. The strikers were defeated because the Trotzky- ist leaders succeeded in Preventing the militant drivers from adopting this aggressive policy. The truckmen must now prepare, with a new, militant leadership, chosen from their own ranks, for the strengthening of their organizations in preparations for a new struggle to win their demands.

NAME... | Soviets Cite 1934 Gains In Industry | Pravda Points To Huge | Harvest Despite Severe Drought (Special to the Daily Worker) | —Great economic victories in indus- try and agriculture have been achieved in the Soviet Union in the | first half of 1934, “Pravda,” central organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Un- ion, in a leading article, writing on | these victories, declares: “Tt is known that in spring the U.S.S.R. was threatened by drought and poor crops. The threat of poor crops was actually menacing the Southern and Southeastern agri- cultural regions which are most im- portant and determine the harvest of the country. What panic usually embraced the countryside during ‘the good old times’ when the pros- pects of drought and poor crops menaced the fields! A feeling of doom, helplessness and desperation! Marching with crosses, prayer were resorted to and the priest and para- site kulak always cunningly utilized hunger in their exploitation. Such was usually the picture before dur- ing drought. “Such too is the picture now in many countries of Europe which are | hit by poor crops. How inestimably the Soviet Union has gone from all of this. Defeating the Drought “The broadest masses, the collec- tive and individual farmers rose in struggle with the threat of drought. Millions in the collective farms unanimously left for the fields in the spring, working in an organized manner which in many respects sur- passed all earlier years. “Early sowing, shortening the sowing period, deep plowing, cor- rect and careful rationing of seed, digging ditches, wells, cleaning all water reservoirs, mass watering of crops and gardens—this is how the collective masses replied to the threat of drought. |. “And if the Soviet country is harvesting a crop no worse than last year, and in places better than last year, the year of the biggest crop, then this tremendous economic fact finds its expression in the great victory of Lenin’s leadership, the Bolshevik Party and its wise helms- man, Stalin. Gains in Industry “No less an achievement was gained by the Soviet Union in So- cialist industry. The big Soviet in- dustry, in the first half of the year, produced almost 18,000,000,000 rubles worth of new products, whereof the production of the means of produc- tion amounts to over 10,000,000,000 rubles. “The gross production of big in- dustry increased 19.7 per cent com- pared with the first half of 1933. This figure is especially significant when compared with last year’s average yearly growth of the prod- ucts of the entire big industry which constituted 9 per cent. Doubled tempos compared to 1933—such are the achievements of industry in the first half of 1934, “Heavy industry is marching con- fidently as the vanguard of all branches of national economy. It gives the best examples of work ac- cording to all indices. Its produc- tion has grown 29.3 per cent as against the first half of 1933, “This is an outstanding victory because in 1933 the average yearly increase of products of heavy in- dustry constituted 11.5 per cent. “The production of metal,. ma- chines, electric power also increased substantially, 40 per cent, 27 per cent, and 32 per cent, respectively. The production of fuel swelled. The goyernment’s task in the produc- tio of harvesting machines was fulfilled. Agriculture obtained new and substantially increased machin- e ry. “All this indicates the technical re-equipment of national economy is proceeding at high tempos which is one of the most important tasks of the Plan for 1934. More Food “Production of articles of general consumption increased 10.5 per cent. Of this the food industry attained the highest growth, having increased production 23.3 per cent. Together with the growth of production ar- ticles and goods of general con- sumption and marketable food stocks, the trade of the country al- So increased, “The retail trade turnover in the first half of the year advanced 36 per cent over 1933. “These figures are figures of ex- tensive economic development. The productive forces of Socialist econ- omy are growing speedily, at full- blooded tempos. “Technical reconstruction of na- tional economy is striding forward with huge steps, The creative ini- tiative, the industrial enthusiasm of the toilers in town and countryside are growing. The Soviet fatherland by the heroic work of millions of toilers is conquering new heights in the Second Five Year Plan.” Southern Worker Again Appears In New Issue Despite Raids, Terror BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 22— The first issue of the Southern Worker, Southern organ of the Communist Party, to appear since Birmingham police raided its print- ing plant and suppressed the paper, has been eagerly received this week by Negro and white workers and poor farmers throughout the South. The Southern Worker is gotten out under illegal conditions. Fre- quent police raids, however, have failed to halt the appearance and distribution of the paper. This issue carries a concrete ex- posure of the misezable conditions of the Southern toilers and the fas- cist terror against white workers and the doubly oppressed Negro masses, MOSCOW, Aug. 22 (By wireless). | | “The Workers Won't Let Us Be Burned, Haywood!” a? Means Same Slavery, Cuban Writer Says YANKEE IMPERLALISM IN CO- LOMBIA (Translated trom) “Masas,” Cuban Revolutionary Organ). By CARLOS RUIZ N August 7, Olaya Herrera, one of the most shameless lackeys of Yankee imperialism in South Amer- ica, will hand over the official reins of Colombia to his successor, Alfonso Lopez, who has just passed through Havana on his way to Washington, D. C.—‘“in order to confer”—these were the declara- tions offered us—‘with the presi- dent of the U. S. before taking charge of the office to which I have been elected.” The change of presidents, if we are to judge by these declarations, will make no change whatsoever in the fortunes of the impoverished Colombian people, bowed down at this very moment under the weight of new and old credits for the army, navy and air forces. Alfonso Lopez has been called into office to continue the policy of submission to Yankee impe- rialism, showing promise, even be- fore occupying the executive chair, of following in the footsteps of Olaya Herrera, of Machado, of the presidents of Ecuador, Panama and Haiti, in search of direct instruc- tions from the North American chancelleries with which to press down on the people they claim to represent. The administration of Alaya Her- rera has been one of the most deadly for the people of Colombia. His participation in the most no- torious oil scandal of the period— the Barco Concession—is enough to prove to what extent he conspired with foreign interests to exploit the native wealth of the Colombian people. Weshall limit ourselves to describing the part that Dr. Olaya Herrera played in the pillage of which Colombia is the victim. President Abadia Mendez and his cabinet were on the point of re- opening the Barco Concession (oil region of Catacumbo) when the president-elect, Dr. Olaya Herrera, cabled them from the United States ordering them to halt procedure be- cause the affair was in his hands. Olaya Herrera, who from Colom- bian envoy at Washington rose to the presidency of the republic, re- turned to Bogota with the United States minister, Mr. Jefferson Caf- fery, who succeeded the fallen Samuel H. Piles to office, accom- panied Dr. Olaya Herrera on his electoral campaign and was with him in New York on the visit. he made as president-elect. Together they negotiated a short-term loan with the National City Bank of New U.S. Change of Presidents: \through the mediation of Puppe New York, which was granted Mr. Schoepperlee, carrying as collateral the agreement known as the June | 30, 1930 Pact, whose contents are still a closely guarded secret. This preliminary operation, this $20,000,000 short-term loan at an exorbitant rate of interest, was the first of a series of great com- bination among which figured the resurrection of the Barco Conces- sion, proposed to the Congress in March, 1931, in compliance with a legal disposition whch Messrs. George Rubble, H. H. Jefferson, representative of Boston interests and Samels, of the National City Bank, drawn up for approval “with- out change of a single punctuation ; mark” and which Mr. Jefferson Caffery himself went over scrupu- lously. In order to create a favorable atmosphere for this unpopular law, the press undertook to assure the public from day to day that the exploitation of the Barco Conces- sion would make possible the em- ployment of 50,000 men and that the entire region would derive enormous economic benefit, that it would free the region from the misery in which its inhabitants were suffocating. President Olaya Herrera, on his side, sent three Messages to the Congress recom- mending approval of the law, al- leging he had studied it with “pa- triotic zeal, and because it opens new horizons for the nation. That because of the psychological effect: of its approval, it would restore the appearance of confidence in Colom- bia.” After months of deliberation, carried out so that the huge farce might have all the usual legal aspects—including that of opposi- tion—the legislators received com- Pensations and ac as CO- legislator Mr. Rublee, appointed by presidential decree, despite his United States’ nationality and the unconstitutionality of the disposi- tion, the resurrection of the Barco Concession was approved and legal- ized on May 2, 1931 in favor of the Mellon-Morgan interests by a ma- jority of 26 votes in the Senate and by 67 vs. 32 votes in the House of Representatives. The territory included in the con- cession is much larger than the original granted to General Virgilio Barco since it amounts to 414,000 hectares (the original being 15,000 hectares. The concessionaries would retain 200,000 hectars which they could exploit until 1981. According to the contract exclu- sive rights are granted to the Colombian Petroleum Co. of Del- aware, over a period of 50 years, to exploit the asphalt, carbon, natural gas and all the hydrocarbons, among which are specified helium and the rare gases. In return the concessionaries give up 10 per cent of the net production, an extremely Committee For Defense Of Political Prisoners Hits Movie-Star Inquiry NEW YORK.—“The private af- fairs of an individual, whether a movie star or anything else, do not concern the police,” declared Alfred H.

The Daily Worker can Better Aid Your Struggles if You Build its On the |World Front By HARRY GANN Suppressing News From Fascist Germany Hitler’s War Financing ELIBERATELY, the lead. ing Wall Street-controlled newspapers have suppressed one of the most significant news reports ever to coma jfrom Fascist Germany. A foreign editor on one of the New York capitalist newspapers admitted to me that the following United Press cable from Berlin, by H. A. Peters, United Press Staff Correspondent, was suppressed: “BERLIN, Aug. 21.—Open re volt against the Nazi Storn Troops broke out in the outskirt of Berlin tonight for the first time since Adolf Hitler rose to power as Chancellor of the Reich 18 months ago. “Scores of excited workers mobbed Nazi brown shirts who swarmed down ugon the labor quarters in the suburbs making wholesale arrests.in Hitler's first move to ‘convert’ the ‘erring 10 ver cent’ who dared vote against him in last Sunday's plebiscite on approval of his seizure of complete power in Germany. “The arrests were made pre- sumably as part of the drive against those who voted ‘Nein.’ They were accompanied by open resistance on the streets as work- ers milled about in bold ‘revolt’ against the heavy-handed meas- ures of the storm troops. They refused to permit the victims to be taken to brown shirt head- quarters.” 5 i "HE New York Times correspond- 1 ent, Frederic T. Birchall, on the day this occurred devoted his cable story to the concert of the Mil- waukee American Legion Band, and the mingled playing of the Star Spengled Banner, Deutschland Ueber Alles, and the Fascist an- them, Horst Wessel. Bee ae ROM another Wall Street source, a lawyer, we get a revealing ex- pose of Hitler and Schacht’s plans for war financing. In the United States Law Review, June 1934, (a magazine with a very limited cir- culation, price $1 an issue), we read the following: CSIR Pema «)R. SCHACHT’S latest negotia- tions with Germany’s foreign creditors tend to confirm the sus- picion that international bankers habitually connive with the inter- national munitions ring. “Last year Germany’s favorable trade balance slowly declined, turned unfavorable in January and February of this year and showed a slight export surplus again in March, This is not entirely due to the boycott of German goods, it is also caused by the doubling and trebling of German imports of raw materials to be used in the war industries. “According to Max Bergner, writ- ing a new emigre publication, Europiasche Hefte, Schact has been trying to persuade Germany’s creditors to finance German re- armament. The country needs three or four billion more marks for raw cotton and various metals. And Schacht wants to pay for these imports in scrip similar to that now being used to pay interest on for- eign loans. The modus operand! of the scheme would be as follows: * “ TO now foreign creditors have financed German exports by accepting scrip, and the plan is for them to take still more. If they want money, how will Germany pay them? Easy enough. ‘They can get \all the goods they want, and cheap ones, too, for Hitler’s Ger- many can beat Japan itself. Heavy taxation and low wages have pre- pared the way for a gigantic dump- ing campaign that Schacht is now organizing. He will accomplish the same thing as he could with in- flation — and perhaps go even further. But the purpose of this dumping will not be to increase German exports, “The primary purpose of Japanese dumping is to enable the country to prepare for war, and how much more is this true of Germany. The driving force behind Schacht’s policy is Germany’s hunger for raw materials, and dumped exports will finance purchases of raw materials abroad. Conceivably, the world will tolerate and participate in this speculation of Schacht’s, for it feels that otherwise Germany will be forced to inflate, and thus any in ternational currency _ stabilization will be made impossible. “It also feels that there is no other way of getting Germany to pay back the billions already owed abroad. If Schacht saves the world from this danger, it will repay him by financing German armament. It may even happen that the first war loan to Germany will come from an enemy country.” So when Hearst tries to tell his readers that there will be no war because there is no money, this organ of the big corporation lawyers shows what a lot of baloney that is. Especially, when it comes to war against the Soviet Union “it may even happen that the first war loan to Germany will come from an enemy country,” that is, an enemy cf the last imperialist world wer.
