THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934 An Appeal to Treops COMMUNIST PARTY and Young Communist League of District 16 have iseued a joint appeal at Charlotte, S. C., to members of the National Guard stationed in the southern strike area to refuse to act as strikebreakers and to shoot down workers now on the picket line in the textile strug- gle, The appeal was made to the National Guards- men as workers and farmers whose interests are the same as those of the underpaid and over- worked textile strikers. The appeal follows “NATIONAL GUARDSMEN “REFUSE TO BE STRIKEBREAKERS! “DON’T SHOOT DOWN YOUR “FELLOW WORKERS! “Pefiow Workers in Uniform “When you joined the National Guard you had no thought of becoming strikebreakers. You did not join to protect scabs, to shoot down striking working men and women. But that is what the officers of the National Guard want you to do. “All of you are workers and farmers, many of whong have been called off the picket line in one @tty and sent to another in the uniform of a soldier to fight against your fellow workers. “True, you may not be called upon to shoot down your own father, or your brother, but you may be ordered to fire on textile workers whose Sons in the National Guard are in your home town under orders to fire on your own father, brother, sister or friend. “This is no exaggeration. The danger is a real one. Many strikers have already been murdered in South Carolina and Georgia. “Some of you are not textile workers. You may be furniture or tobacco workers. You may be farm- ers. But if you should help crush this strike, which is a fight for the very right to live, you will be help- ing to drive the entire working class to a lower living standard. “You may not intend to actually shoot workers. But the strikers cannot read your minds. Your very presence with rifles, bayonets and machine guns is intended to frighten and intimidate the strikers, to prevent mass picketing and drive the workers back into*the mills under unbearable con- ditions and starvation wages. “You should immediately refuse to act as a strikebreaker! Tell your officers you will not shoot down striking workers! “Quit being used against the strikers! Join with the strikers on the picket lines and help prevent scabs from entering the mills!” Communist Party of U. 8. A. Young Communist Leagwe, District 16, Chartotte, N. ©, 50,000 ! {IRCULATION of the Daily Worker yes- terday reached 50,000! This represents a gain of about 10,000 papers this week, largely im the textile areas. But this is not yet enough! All districts, with the exception of Con- mecticut, have greatly increased their sales. There are still, however, weak points in every district which must be immediately strengthened. All districts, particularly the textile districts, must strive for daily increases. Around the in- creased sales a permanent apparatus must be created. The circulation mnst be held at the figure established in the strike. 60,000 must be our goal within the next week. ‘This Saturday’s issue, with the reply to the Socialist Party and the Central Committee’s resolution on the lessons of recent strike struggles, must reach 100,000. This is a job for all districts. Yesterday the following orders came in: Lan- easter decreased its order from 150 daily to 100 daily! (How about it, Comrade Mills?) Lodi in- creased from 50 to 200; Springfield from 150 to 300; Paterson from 150 to 300; Bridgeport increased its order by 65; Winston-Salem, N. C., by 25. Good! But frankly, comrades, not yet satisfac- tory! We will expect to hear more tomorrow. parbieu- larly from Connecticut. It Will Not Work! 'O, IT will not work. The attempt to cloak the hideous truth about the Morro Castle disaster by trying to discredit in advance the testimony of the first assistant radio operator, George I. Alagna, with viciously hysterical innuen- does about him as a “vengeful agitator’—this will not work. Alagna knows the truth about the criminal negligence of the ship's officers sacrificing human life to save profits and expenses. Alagna, for all the dirty slanders against him, stuck to his post to the very end, risking a horrible death by fire. It is the criminal delay in ordering the 8.0.8. call that the chief operator, co-operating with the Ward Company, is striving so desperately to hide! It took three hours after the fire was discovered Berkman on the ation. The T. U. U.

There are the grim, stark facts which tell the story of criminal neg! of murder, resulting from the greed of a capitalist ship company 1, Notice of the fire was not given until three hours after it started 2. To save salvage expenses, S.O.S. signals were delayed by more than an hour after the blaze had reached the decks and the order was not given until three hours after the fire started 3. The fire apparatus never registered the fire. 4. The pumps did not work, the water pressure was wholly inadequate, and the hose broke at the c rs. The life-boats did not contain flares legally required to light up the wark waters. 6. The commanding officers at the bridge never took any steps to organize the life-boat crews, never issued orders to man the life-boats. 7. There was no communication between the officers on the bridge and the engine room. 8. A strange fire on the Morro Castle, on Aug. 27, due probably to dry wood, was not officially re- ported until Sept. 5, in a report deliberately pre- dated Sept. 1. 9. The locker from which the fire is charged to have started was not all accessible to the crew, but only to the leading officers. IT IS the smell of capitalist profit that mingles with the smell of burning flesh in the story of the Morro Castle holocaust. The willingness, even the eagerness, of the Fed- eral Government officials to co-operate with the shipowners in a criminal frame-up against the “Reds” in such a case indicates that the American government is fast reaching the point where it need not feel inferior to Hitler’s specialists in perjury, Goering and Goebbels. Not only brutal murder for profit reeks through the Morro Castle case, but the sinister shadow of fascist reaction, which seizes on such spectacles to infiame pogroms against the revolutionary party of the working class. But the revelations of the Morro Castle sea- men, the instinct of the American working class, indicate where the guilt lies, with the shipowners, with the insurance and salvage companies, with the infamous system which stakes profit above human life. ma | More Murder Plans UST when the Senate arms inquiry J brings out more proof of the wholesale graft in connection with military aviation in the United States and in Latin America, the Navy Department approves and sub- mits to the Budget Bureau a construction Program of 500 new murder planes, There is ceaseless, rapid preparations for war, | financed by the Roosevelt government out of money | that should be going to the unemployed and to the | starving farmers. ‘War talk, and proof of war preparations is shot through the whole capitalist press. Nobody can escape the fact that a new bloody, imperialist war | is rushing on us. | The Congress Against War and Fascism to be held in Chicago, Sept. 28, 29 and 30, will rally a tre- mendous united front gathering to work out a | Nation-wide struggle against these war preparations and against the Fascist developments which accom- pany them. i Every organization fighting against imperialist war should send ‘delegates to this Congress. a Textiles and N. R. A. HAT Roosevelt and the N. R. A. have done to the workers’ living standards can be no more graphically seen than in the conditions against which the textile workers are fighting today. As proof of what conditions were and what they are now we use only government and N. R. A. official | figures. Just a little more than a year ago the textile code, the first N. R. A. code signed by Roosevelt, was put into force. Minimum wages in the code were set up at $12 in the South and $13 a week in the North. What was Roosevelt's aim? Roosevelt wanted to hold wages down to these starvation levels while, at the same time, shooting prices of goods upwards. In reality, it must be remembered, that through part-time work, through piece-work and speed-up, the textile workers did not even get the $12 and $13 a week promised them by the N. R. A. In the majority of instances the minimum approached more closely $8 and $9 a week. Now what has happened with the workers’ living standards since the textile code went into effect in August, 1938? We refer to the latest figures of the U. 8. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the answer, Food prices rose 7.1 per cent; meat prices, par- ticularly, rose 20.9 per cent. . * Ve Roosevelt's signature on the N. R. A. textile code held wages down to the starvation levels, like in an iron vice, the prices of what the textile workers must buy to live and to work, shot up 7.1 and 20.9 per cent! In other words, the purchasing power of wages were actually dragged down to this extent by the working out of Roosevelt’s schemes to raise profits for the bosses, That is why the textile workers are striking. That is what has been the real effect of the N. R. A. on the entire American working class. That is why | Green and company strive with might and main to keep the A. F. of L. workers from taking action. Roosevelt's rotten scheme has succeeded in keep- | Ing wages at a frozen level while hiking prices sky- | ward. The result is, the workers suffer; the bosses gain in higher profits from higher prices, | Only one road is open for the workers, the road | taken by the textile workers—to organize their | forces, and, through strike, through effective closing of mills, to force acecptance of their just demands by the bosses for higher wages to meet the rising | living costs as admitted by the U. S. government. textile strike situ | Vim Store Workers Strike for Pay Rise NEW YORK.—The Trade Union Unity Council will meet tomorrow at 8 o'clock at Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Place, to hear a re- port by Irving Potash on the settle- ment of the furriers’ strike with the Fur Trimmers’ Manufacturers’ As- fociation and also a report by Edith t | A rarmeeneceansere esos ” ‘in the oity of New York, | dations on a number of other ques- | tions, All delegates are urged to be on time and all union functionaries are | invited to attend, as this meeting is of gre interest, in view of the strike situation in the textile in- dustry and other impending strikes i Ao geiemaaaNRUD NN NEW YORK.—(FP)—Employes of more than 40 stores of the Vim Electric Co, of New York City struck for union recognition and wage in- creases after the company disre- garded a Regional Labor Board rec- ommendation to recognize the yxjon, | | sumably Roosevelt’s Aide Linked in Inquiry (Continued from Page 1) the “single objective of exposing vast and unimagined abuses in the j}munitions trade.” However, the Secretary of State made no effort |to refute the evidence itself—par- | ticularly the evidence involving his own department.

Senators Ask No Questions Again the investigating Senators asked no questions, but sat mum jand sometimes glum while a young investigator conducted the question- ing. Senator Barbour of New Jer- sey (Rep.) who has openly at- tempted to aid the munitions men} on the stand, was absent, possibly | busy with some home work. But Senator “Puddler Jim” Davis former Moose lottery “king” of the millionaires’ and steel barons’ Penn- | Sylvania, exercised his Senatorial privilege of sitting in with the Committee, although he is not a member of it. | Neiter the imperial war-foment- | ing witnesses nor the Senators rep- resenting their “helpful” American | capitalist government demurred at the inserting in the record of let- ters concerning very recent ac- tivities in the Far East and South America, Pilots Fight in Colombia One document divulged that an American naval officer, on active duty in the United States Navy, while assigned as “advisor” to the Government of Colombia last April had “the understanding that (American) pilots were to be re- cruited who were willing to fight if necessary and instruct Colombian students otherwise.” This letter to one of the Curtiss-Wright Export Corp. (N. Y.) officials, from their agent in Colombia, continued: “Contracts were drawn up accord- ingly and every one was happy un- til the press got wind of it. The State Department then had to take Official cognizance, to which they were forced to react negatively in order to maintain a strict neutrality, in South America.” So a new con- tract was negotiated, saying noth- ing about the pilots arrangement, the letter said, and still Commander Strong “wants to take immediate Steps to get other pilots down here who are willing to fight—a high type of individual is necessary in order that Colombia may have the best impression possible off Amer- icans, which impression will be in their use of American goods and equipment.” Letter from Agent in Chile Next. came a letter to this arms company from an agent in Chile, boasting he had induced Commander Arturo Marino, chief of the Chilean Air Corps, to come to the United States on an “inspection tour” to offset efforts of the Prince of Wales. The Royal British salesman had just been in Chile and invited the Chilean official to come to England, so that the American agent de- manded that the Chilean visit all American Navy stations and meet “President Hoover, if possible.” Senator Nye suddenly sat up and asked Witness C. W. Webster whether the (imperialist) fight for markets “isn’t really a conflict be- tween heads of governments,” Web- ster replied composedly, “I wouldn’t say 80.” Roosevelt Secretary Involved A Roosevelt government official— Stephen Early, now one of the Pres- ident’s three secretaries—was linked to the imperialist munitions traffic when a letter from the Exports Washington representative dated July 1, 1929, told how Early was working with Jimmy Doolittle—fa- mous former Army flyer recently appointed by President Roosevelt to THE GREAT SHAKEDOWN By Burck The Most Burning Question --- Unity of Action By BELA KUN Member of the Presidium of the Communist International (Fifth Installment) “Phe United Front Is a Soviet Maneuver.” “The United Front Is in Contradiction to the Foreign Policy of the Soviet Union.” Both of these arguments are everywhere cur- rent where people are trying to disseminate mis- trust in unity of action or to fight against it. Reporting Leon Blum’s speech at the National Conference of the Socialist Party of France, the Populaire of July 16, 1934, writes as follows: “Leon Blum does not believe that the change in the attitude of the Communist Party is im- spired by its internal position, nor by the in- ternal policy of the Russian section of the Third International, but rather by the foreign policy of the Soviet Union.” The Paris correspondent of the Swiss Social- Democratic paper Volksrecht sent the following re- port regarding the struggle for unity of action in France (July 19, 1934): “Fhe Soviet Union, which is staking every- thing to incorporate itself in the commonwealth of nations and which, on account of its interna- tional relations, would thus have us forget the formerly so strongly emphasized antagonism both against Western capitalism and also against Western democracy, is interested in adapting the Communist Parties to these tendencies.” In direct contradiction to these assertions, the leaders of German Social-Democracy in Czecho- slovakia produce the following arguments: “You reproach us with the fact that we agree to the military budget. Quite apart from the fact that the Communist Party in the Soviet Union gives its consent to the expenditure of billions for armaments. purposes, this reproach is altogether grotesque in the present situation and stands in complete contradiction to the foreign the Newton D. Baker Board, which has just recommended more military “defense” building—toward making “news” movies which would (inci- dentally—most incidentally) adver- tise the “Curtis Hawk” plane. At this time, 1929, Early was Wash- ington representative of the Par- amount News Reel Corporation. The letter, showing how the news reels are controlled by imperialists both to spread powerful propaganda for war and to advertise American- made war engines, read: “I saw Steve Early, Washington represen- tative of the Paramount News people, and he is working on the procuring of a Curtiss Hawk from the Army for Doolittle to make some acrobatic pictures over New York City. Early has obtained authority for the Army to send a plane from Bolling Field to New York to be turned over to Doolittle there, In view of the fact that we policy of the Soviet Union, support for which you demand from us.” What, then, is the Social-Democratic worker to think? Is the struggle of the Communist Parties for unity of action against the bourgeoisie a Soviet plot or a counter-revolutionary subterfuge, perhaps even & maneuver of white guard Russian emi- grants? And if he is to be clear about it all, he must first ask: What proposals have the Com- munist Parties made to the Social-Democratic Parties? THE COMMUNIET ANSWER The answer is clear: A united front, common action by both parties and their supporters against their own bourgeoisie, against fascism in Germany and in their own countries, against the danger of fascization, against the offensive of capital on the working class in all its forms, He should also reflect on the question: Have the Communists anywhere or at any time opposed the actions of the working class against the bour- geoisie or the unity of these actions? may be able to get the caption, ‘Curtiss Hawk’ (to appear on the news real) it would be well to have someone get in touch with Jimmie in this matter.” “Private Arms Salesmen” Another letter, from an export agency in Turkey, told how Major General Douglas MacArthur, then and still Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, obliged by visiting Turkey and “talked up American equipment to the sky.” “It makes one begin to wonder,” Chairman Nye remarked, “whether American Army and Navy officers aren’t just private salesmen main- Sines by the American govern- ment.” REFUSES TO EVICT—IS JAILED DES MOINES, Ia., Sept. 12—Be- cause he refused to evict a family of nine during a rain storm, Con- stable George Kelly here was jailed for a day on a contempt charge. “I refused to put a family with seven children out of the house when it was raining and when there was The answer can only be: No, the Communists were never opposed to such actions, never opposed to the unity of action of the whole proletariat against the bourgeoisie. Another question which the Social-Democratic worker must ask himself is as follows: Is the Soviet Union, under all circumstances, interested that the proletarians in capitalist coun- tries should fight united against their bourgeoisie, or does the attitude of the Soviet Union toward the united front of the workers in bourgeois states depend on the “foreign political situation of the moment?” CITES STALIN’S WRITINGS He can find the answer to this question in the works of the most acknowledged leader of Bol- shevism. Stalin writes as follows in his work Foundations of Leninism on the relation between the Soviet State and the proletariat of capitalist countries, The THIRD STAGE [i.e., the third stage of the Russian Revolution—B. K.] commenced after the October Revolution. Aim: Consolidation of the dictatorship of the proletariat in one country, no available shelter or means of ce ce USING IT AS THE STRONGHOLD FOR THE ‘ TRIES. The revolution goes beyond the confines of one country and the period of world revolution commences. The main forces of the revolution: THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT IN ONE COUNTRY AND THE REVOLUTION- ARY MOVEMENT OF THE PROLETARIAT IN ALL COUNTRIES.” (My emphasis—B.K.) A plain answer to a plain question! It can never be to the interest of the Soviet Union that the proletariat in capitalist countries should pur- sue the policy of class collaboration with its own bourgeoisie, Nevertheless, the Social-Democratic worker can retort: That is all very fine! I don’t doubt that Stalin is the greatest revolutionary of the present day. But that doesn’t alter the fact that the Soviet Union concludes treaties with bourgeois govern- ments, whereas the Communist Parties call upon us to struggle against these governments. There is something wrong here! U.S.S.R. IS INTERNATIONAL BULWARK We Communists answer as follows: It may perhaps sound perplexing to some, since it is here @ question of struggles in which world historical questions are being decided. But there is nothing wrong here—in fact, quite the contrary. The Soviet Union, for the time being the sole proletarian state which, as experience shows, is the bulwark of the whole international proletarian revolution, nay of the bourgeois-democratic na- tional liberation struggles of all oppressed peoples, is indeed obliged to conclude treaties with the gov- ernments of capitalist states. It even makes ef- forts to secure such treaties in order to guarantee peace for itself and for the whole of mankind. The Soviet Union is compelled to do this in just the same way as the workers in capitalist coun- tries are compelled, so long as they have not taken possession of the capitalist enterprises by way of revolution, to conclude agreements with the capi- talist employers. We Communists hold that the workers, if they were not split but were united on the basis of our program, would long ago have been able to overthrow capitalism, just as the Rus- sian proletarians did under the leadership of the Bolsheviks. But until capitalism has been over- thrown, we Communists hold that the workers— no matter to what party or organization they may belong—should fight for collective agreements, for better wage agreements with the employers. So long as the relation of forces between bourgeoisie and proletariat is such that the capitalists remain masters of the means of production, we will always fight to see to it that the workers in their hard struggle against the employers may force the latter through the collective agreements to give them bet- ter conditions of work. FAVOR COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS The Soviet Union does likewise. The capitalists still rule on five-sixths of the earth’s surface. The Soviet Union must conclude the treaties with the states of these capitalists until the workers have overthrown the rule of their bourgeoisie. We Communists are in favor of collective agree- ments in the interests of the workers. But we are deadly enemies of the reformist policy of class collaboration, which is based on the theory of the so-called community of interests of workers and employers. We will never agree to such class col- laboration with the bourgeoisie. This, however, cannot prevent us from recommending the work- ers to take advantage of the contradiction among the individual capitalist employers. If the work- ers in one branch of industry are on strike, or are locked out by the employers, and some of the employers are compelled, for one reason or an- other, to grant the demands of their workers, to put an end to the lockout, no reasonable strike leader will say: The workers ought to scorn the concessions of these employers and not try to take advantage of the difficulties of the individual capi- talists, of the contradictions of the capitalists among themselves, for the benefit of those who are on On the | | World Front HARRY GANNES:. ——By “One Hell of a Business” Wall St. and Armaments “AH South America Will Be Involved” F A revolutionary novelist would have written the let. ters and evidence actually ad- duced from munitions manu- facturers and salesmen at/ the Senate arms inquiry, i form of fiction, the capi tion was diseased. All of the charges of whol gratt by the munitions manu! turers, the role of Morgan an Rockefeller in instigating war 3 order to make profits; the pect? that the Bolivia-Paraguay war ig only the prelude to a more gigantic slaughter throughout Latin Amer- ica betbeen American and British imperialism, are sustained to the hilt. If anything at all, the Daily Worker completely underestimated the extent of the imperialist depre- dations. tee ie \ piheeheniae of State Hull ang Senator Nye, chairman of the committee, directly apologized to all of the grafters and to J. P. Morgan, the due Ponts, and to John D. Rockefeller for the incontrovertible evidence of their bloody guilt brought out in the hearings. In his public letter of apol addressed to Cordell Hull, Nye states: “The committee deeply rée grets that a false impression may have been created, and that state- ments made by manufacturers’ agents abroad, although believed by them, may be unfounded as far as those high personages are con- cerned. . . .” om ke OW what are the facts? Curtiss Wrights sales managers and ex» ecutives in letters they never bap lieved would see the light of day wrote that they personally handel bribes to presidents, generals, con« Suls and other government officialy of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Paragua, and almost every other Latin Amer- ican country. They knew they were doing crooked, murderous business, and they knew the forces behind them; but brazenly admit the job must be done and they might as well get the money out of it. The Roosevelt State Department, representing Wall Street interests in Latin America, knew of this this graft, and approved of it in the struggle for war preparations against their rivals for Latin Amer- ican domination, Frank Sheridan Jones, represent- ing the Remington Arms Co. and the Federal Laboratories in South America, in a letter dated Dec. 27, 1933, addressed to Owen Shannon, of the Curtiss-Wright Co. at New York (and both corporations have their leading strings in the office of J. P. Morgan and Co.) stated: “We certainly are in one hell of a business, where a fellow has to wish for trouble so as to make a living, the only consclation be- ing, however, that if we don’t get the business some one else will. It would be a terrible state of affairs if my conscience started to bother me now.” cer sie HETHER the individual sales- men pay out huge bribes, whether tens of thousands of Latin American peasants have their brains and guts spattered over the battle fields, cannot bother the con- science of Mr. Jones, because he knows the Wall Street bankers will pursue their war policies and push the arming of their puppet govern- ments regardless. Mr. Webster of the same More gan-controlled Curtiss-Wright Cor- poration, writing to Mr. Travis in Peru (another agent of Curtiss- Wright), reveals that behind Para- guay is British imperialism and in back of Bolivia is Standard Oil; and furthermore, the Bolivia~Paraguay war is only the prelude to a greater slaughter in which they must work fast in order to reap a greater har- vest of profits, Mr. Webster's own words follow: “T am firmly convinced through personal conversation, while in Buenos Aires, that moral and financial support is coming and will continue from Argentina [where British imperialism is dominant—H. G.] on behalf of Paraguay, and Bolivia will be re- quired to find similar support either through Standard Oil Com- pany, or through wealthy nation- als such as Patino, whose busi- ness and financial interests are at stake. “I am of the opinion that be- fore these two ‘comic opera wars’ are finished in the north and South that practically all South America will be involved—so watch your step and play your cards accordingly.” PU ON HEN 40,000 Paraguayan and Bolivian workers and peasants are slaughtered for Standard Oil oy British bankers, that’s only a “comis opera war.” The real thing is yet to_come, Even while the hearings go on, American arms firms continue to pay graft, to supply their puppets with munitions, reap a golden har+ vest of profits out of the slaughter of the toiling masses. f American munitions manufac turers continue to build explosive manufacturing plants for Japanest imperialism, load nearly every ship bound for the Orient with the latest murder machinery for wal against the Soviet Union. It is only rarely that the workers can get even the faintest glimps of what actually goes on in the matter of war preparations.
