These work- have been learning for five years that capitalist rule means hunger and misery for themselves and their families. Now they are learning that the bankers, the big the manufacturers, and their own textile bosses take awey their civil rights, their right to organize, to strike, to picket, to fight for improved conditions. They see their own shopmates shot down in the streets; they see Republicans and Democrats alike resorting to out-right murder to protect capitalist profits while workers starve Such conditions do not breed loyalty to capital- ism; it is in such an atmosphere that workers be- come convinced of the necessity of ending capitalist rule, As V. I. Lenin, the outstanding leader of the revélutionary world proletariat, said in 1920 after the Palmer raids “When the American bourgeoisie, having com- pletely lost its head, seizes thousands upon thou- sands of people upon suspicion of Bolshevism (Commnnism) ond creates an atmosphere of panic, spreading broadcast alarm of Bolshevik plots ... (when they) create a special literature on Bolshevism, and engage for the struggle against it an extra number of scientists, priests and agitators—we must bow and thank these worthy capitalists. They are working for us. They are helping us to get the masses interested in the question of the nature and significance of Bolshevism. And they cannot act otherwise; for to ‘kill by silerce,’ to stifle Bolshevism—in this they have already failed.” : . . 'O IT is now! Communist ideas, Communist methods of struggle have penetrated deep into the ranks of the workers. To head off these ideas the capitalists feverishly shout for the defense of the “constitution,” against “insurrection,” against the “Reds.” But in doing so, they only further arouse the interest of the discontented masses in Communism. They spread further the ideas of proletarian revolution, of workers’ rule under a Soviet State. Now is the time, in the very midst of the tex- tile strike, while placing the winning of the textile workers’ own demands as the immediate task, to discuss with the strikers the only final way out of capitalist exploitation and misery, the way of pro- letarian revolution. Now is the time to bring hundreds of militant textile workers into the ranks of the Party of revolution, the Communist Party. We appeal to the textile workers to join our Party; we would be proud to have you in our revo- lutionary ranks. We appeal to all Party members, to all units, to all leading comrades in the field to make special efforts to recruit the best, the most courageous fighters for Communism. LaGuardia’s Relief Taxes HOLLY inadequate in its scope, the La Guardia relief tax plan is designed to guarantee the payments to the bank- ers and is intended to further cut the re- lief to New York’s unemployed. Estimates now made show that the new tax plans, together with the lottery scheme, will raise a maximum of $15,000,000 annually. The lottery is designed to appeal to the working popula- tion, and will thereby place the burden of relief on the masses. The busi: tax, a capitulation to the big busi- ness groups, is clearly a maneuver. As originally planned, it called for a one-! ~ of one per cent levy on total gr receipt it concedes a doll men, it saves big busine: tenth of one per cent. The income tax levied at the rate of 15 per cent is not collectible on those residing outside of the city, Here the really large income groups, whose recipients maintain homes in Long Island, in West- ss millions by a cut to one- chester, and other r ticl communities, are totally exempted. T THE present rate of relief expenditure, the city is spending £52.500,000 annucily. P~ief lists continue to rise as 1200 apply dail relief. Commissioner of Welfare Hodson has revzetcdly stated that with the winter months relief needs a ‘ ws DATLY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1934 ‘Police Arrest | HIS MARK will rise 25 per cent. This figure does not include the need for additional relief in the face of rising prices for food In short, for a r load of $65,000,000 or more, even on the basis of the present inadequate relief, the LaGuardia regime proposes to supply less than half that amount. To meet the additional relief demands, LaGuar- dia and his comptroller McGoldrick already talk of loans from the bankers, loans which will be guar- anteed by the new relief taxes, loans which will pour more millions into the coffers of the Wall Street bankers. . . . 0% SATURDAY, thousands of employed employed workers will march on City manding the immediate appropriation of adequate funds for winter relief. Central in these demands of the workers is “scrap the Bankers’ Agreement— tax the large incomes, large realty holdings, corpora- tions, utilities and inheritances.” and un- Hall de- The USSR and the League JONE of the capitalist powers relish the idea of the Soviet Union coming into the League of Nations. Here in their very midst stand. the representatives of the victorious proletarian revolution, the workers’ fatherland fighting for peace against all of the imperialist machinations. In the speech of Maxim Litvinoff, Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, they know the toiling masses throughout the world hear of the peace Policies of that powerful land of Socialism, ready with its mighty Red Army to defend itself against any ad- venturous attempts of the capitalist powers to in- vade it. In hiding the fact that the imperialist con- tradictions and conflict, on the one hand, and the growing strength of the Land of Socialism, on the other, forced the imperialists to extend it an invita- tion to join the League, the capitalist press con- tents itself with what it calls the “mildness” of Litvinoff’s speech. ““But every worker will see In Litvinoff’s speech the voice of the bulwark of the world revolution. Litvinoff pointed out that the Soviet Union retains fully all of its aims, the task of building Socialism, of fighting against imperialist war, of inspiring the toiling masses everywhere to end capitalist slavery. He showed that the whole imperialist world was driving to a new world slaughter, not of the future, but of today. He especially pointed out how Jap- anese imperialism and Fascist Germany were leap- ing ahead towards this war, the chief aim of which was attack against the Soviet Union, Dwelling on the history of the League of Nations he stressed the fact that the victorious imperialist powers in the last world war attempted to utilize it as a spearhead of attack against the Soviet Union. But in view of the growing world economic crisis and the bitterest confliets among the imperialist powers, especially the conflict between France and Fascist Germany, the withdrawal of Japan from the League of Nations, the situation arose where the Soviet Union could enter the League of Nations to the advantage of its revolutionary peace policy. * * * ITVINOFF pointed out that in reality two worlds existed—the world of Socialism and the world of Capitalism, typified on the one hand by the 200 nationalities under the banner of th Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, itself a League of Na- tions; and the League of Nations of the capitalist powers, which was now forced to invite the Soviet Union without at the same time lessening its hatred for this implacable foe. That even the French capitalists, whose gov- ernment sponsored the Soviet’s entry into the League recognize the revolutionary nature of this step, the victory for the Soviet Union's peace policy, and do not relish it, is shown by the comments in the French capitalist press. “Russia has entered Geneva today triumphant,” says Leon Balby in “Jour.” “Whenever it suits her, she will leave again and betray us as she betrayed us at Brest-Litovsk.” In short, they recognize that the Soviet Union’s aim in the League of Nations is the aim of peace and the pursuit of a revolu- tionary policy of the land of Socialism; and that when the imperialist bandits make this impossible within the League, the Soviet Union will take the steps necessary to further its peace policy by other means, That the French imperialists, like the British, and the 32 other capita: nations which signed the invitation, did so not because they loved it, but because there was little else for them to do, is shown by the comments of the semi-official French newspaper, “Journal des Debats.” This paper edi- tortalized as fortlows “The best that can be said is that once more we are faced with one of those faits accomplis (ac- complished facts) which it would have been better never to have accomplished.” In short, against the will of th capitalists, because of their conflicts, the Soviet Union is able to drive in between their war antagonisms a pow- erful wedge of peace to the benefit of the whole world’s toiling masses. But as “Izvestia,” Soviet newspaper pointed out, the final word in the struggle for peace rests with the toiling masses throughout the world in the struggle against their own imperialist governments, and particularly upon the revolutionary forces, the Communist Parties, in their fight against war and fascism, Concentration Camps HAT typical instrument of Hitler Fas- cism—the concentration camp—is al- ready becoming a fact in this country. In the Georgia strike area, 150 textile pickets, men, women, and youths, were seized by National Guardsmen, and herded into a swampy, isolated back-road, where they were kept standing in the sun for hours with bayonets in their backs, and where they will be kept indefinitely at the will of the commanding officer of the troops. There are no charges against them, Their “crime” is picketing. American capitalist democracy, it is clear does not heistate one moment to use the methods of Hitler fascist reaction against the workers once the workers decide to exercise their “right” to assemble and strike for a decent wage. And this is Roosevelt's party, the Democratic Party of ihe South that is responsible. Mass marches from neighboring milis, picketing, sympathetic strikes, mass demonstrations, protests— these mass actions will force an end to this mon- Strous fascist brutality of concentration camps for striking workers. And the National Guardsmen themselves can be won over to the side of the strikers. After all, most of them are workers or sons of workers. They too know what low wages and bad conditions mean. In Bfidgeport, Connecticut, nine young guards- men answered the leaflets of the Communist Party and the Young Communist League and pledged strike solidarity. In New York guardsmen have issued their own leaficts against strike-breaking duty. This can be repeated in all the strike cen- ters where troops are stationed. National Guardsmen! Refuse to be strike- breakers! Join your brothers and sisters who are fighting against hunger and misery. Workers!

Cr Deputies At the Hague Communists Fought the | Queen’s Praise of | Jobless Attackers ‘THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Sept. | |18—Police ca-ried three Commu- nist deputies out of the hall where the States General met yesterdey when one of them attempted to ; make a statement following upon |the speech of Queen Wilhelmina in which she thanked the “nation” for its loyalty in past troubles. The deputies were arrested and released after questioning. | | Her references were clearly ad-| | dressed to those who aided in brut- |ally suppressing recent unemployed demonstrations in Amsterdam and | Rotterdam and provoked the three Communist deputies to reply. | The Social Democrats were rep- |resented by the majority of their bloc but offered no criticism of the | speech. | A demonstration was staged im- mediately after the opening of the States General in front of the So- |cial Matters Ministry, but police |charged and dispersed it.

The document also charges that “already the Saar has been violated by Nazi terrorists in an organized jeffort to intimidate the electorate. | Daily kidnaping, violence against | | workers’ leaders and a recent at- | tempt to kill a police commissioner | for being ‘too lenient’ with refugees, show the tactics of the Nazi-dom- |inated organization, known as | ‘Deutsche Front.’ Employing the | most. vicious gangster and black- | mail methods, it threatens with in- security and actual danger all who risk voting in the coming plebiscite | jagainst the return to Hitler Ger- | many. | “Against the threatened Fascist | | rule, an active united front of Com- | munist, Socialist, Democratic and , Catholic elements has been formed | ita the Saar to oppose by all pos- | | sible means the Nazi violence, in- | |timidation and terror and to work for maintenance of the status quo in the Saar, as long as GeEneny | is in the hands of fascists.” | Ysewin also pointed out that the | committee is planning for a con- | ‘ference early in October with rep- resentatives of the Communist and | Socialist Parties, labor organiza- | | tions and German, French and Al- | |satian societies, as well as other organizations and individuals de- siring to co-operate in the united ;front and participate in appropri- hae actions.

They try to bolster up this absolutely unfounded statement by two further allegations, Firstly, that the Communist Party of France expelled Doriot because he supported the united front; Secondly, that the offers made by the Commu- nist Parties to the Social-Democratic Parties repre- sented “orders from Moscow.” This, then, is why the Social-Democratic worker is to be mistrustful of the idea of unity of action together with his Communist class comrades against the bourgeoisie. Cc. P. SEEKS NO MIDDLE COURSE ‘We Communists consider it very important that a relation of mutual trust should be established between us and the Social-Democratic workers, as is necessary among members of one aim and the same class. One proof of the fact that our offers fer unity of action with the Social-Democratic workers: are strightforward and honestly meant 4s that we declare in advance to the Social-Democratic Parties that the Communist Parties refused to sur- render so much as a syllable of their fundamental standpoint on any single question, We declare openly Our persistent striving for the unity of action of the working class does not mean for a moment that we are looking for a middle course between Social-Democracy and Communism, be- tween reformism and revolutionary tactics, or that we would be disposed to adopt such a middle course. We hold that unity of action for the immediate interests of the working class against the bour- geoisie, that the common struggle against the im- mediate dangers with which the capitalists are threatening all the toilers, is possible at once. This common struggle can be begun without delay, with- out waiting for the Social-Democratic workers to adopt our program and tactics in their entirety. Nor do we seek to make a secret of the fact that the Communist Parties of the individual countries are centralized and united in one single world party, in the Communist International. This does not, of course, mean that the leadership of the Commu- nist International itself decides all questions con- fronting the individual Communist Parties. It is obvious, however, that the decisions of the individ- ual Communist Parties are arrived at on the basis of the program, of the Congress decisions and the resolutions of the Plenums of the Executive Com- mittee of the Communist International. C. I, GUIDES INDIVIDUAL PARTIES One n ed not be a detective in order to dis- cover that the offers made by the individual Com- munist Parties to the Social-Democratic Parties, with a view to establishing unity of action have been made on the basis of the decisions of the Communist International. Any Social-Democratic worker can convince himself by the study of a public document that the Executive Committee of the Communist Inter- national on March 5, 1933, immediately after Hit- ler's advent to power, recommended its sections to address proposals to the Social-Democratics Party Jeeders in order that the Social-Democratic and Communist workers might together wage the s:rug- gle against fascism and against the offensive of capital. Here is the text of this proposal: “In the face of fascism, which is attacking the working class ef Germany and unleasing all the forces of world reaction, the Executive Com- rittee of the Communist International calls uncn all Communis! Parties to make one more attempt to establish a united front together with the Social-Democratic working masses through the medium of the Social-Demotratic parties. The E. C. C. I. is making this attempt in the firm conviction that the united front of the werking class for the strugsle against the bourgeoisie would repulse the offensive of capital and of fas- cism and would hasten on to an extreme degree the inevitable erd of all capitalist expioitation. “In view of the peculiar conditions of individ- ual countries and the difference of the concrete tasks of struggie confronting the working class in each ov~ of them, parecments between the Communist Parties and the Social-Democratic Parties for definite actions against the bourgeoisie can be effected most successfully within the bounds of the individual countries. The E. C. C. I. therefore recommends the Communist Par- ties to put forward proposals to the respective Central Committees of the Social-Democratic Parties affiliated to the Socialist International re- garding joint actions against fascism and the of- fensive of capital.” Thus if “Moscow” means the leadership of the Communist International and not the Soviet gov- ernment, then indeed the initiative in this matter comes from “Moscow.” WHY WAS DORIOT EXPELLED How, then, can we explain the alleged fact that Doriot was expelled from the Communist Party of France because he was in favor of unity of ac:ion - —though it is worth noting that he poured out his heart before the correspondent of the fascist Matin, instead of lodging his complaints in “Mos- cow.” If it were true that Doriot had been ex- pelled because he was in favor of the united front, the leadership of the Communist International, which, as the Social-Democratic leaders allege, “gave orders” for the united front proposals, would surely have received him with shawms and trumpets. So there must really be something wrong here. Something must be wrong for the simple reason that Doriot wanted not the united front» with the Social-Democratic Party but something quite dif- ferent, on account of which it was impossible for him to remain in the Communist Party. What did Doriot want? He wanted the Com- munist Party of France to pursue a Social-Demo- cratic policy! How else are we to explain the great sympathies felt for Doriot by the Social-Democratic Party leaders? DORIOT DISTORTED C. P. PLAN What did Doriot do? He dis‘orted the plan of action of the Communist Party of France for the establishment of unity of action; he distorted it in order to use it against the Party; he gave it out as his own plan and on the basis of this plan tried to incriminate the leadership of the C. P. of France of being against unity of action at a time when Communists and Social-Democratic workers were victoriously defying the attacks of fascism in a united front of struggle on the streets of Paris. He wanted to disintegrate the C. P. of France. How else can we explain the sympathies felt for Doriot by the Trotskyites, who want to disintegrate the Communist Party? What did Doriot do besides? He violated revo- lutionary discipline, Party democracy. He acted contrary to the decisions of the great majority of the Party. He set his district against the whole Party. He addressed himself to the bourgeois press, to the Social-Democratic leaders, instead of apply- ing to the Party Conference and there submitting himself and his views to the judgment of the repre- sentatives of the whole Party. He tried to split the revolutionary party of the French proletariat. How else can we explain the sympathy felt by the whole bourgeois press, which fears revolution like the plague, for Doriot, who has audaciously followed the path of Briand, Millerand and Viviani—these ex-socialists who looked after the business of the French bourgeoisie as prime ministers of the republic? HOW THE C. P. FUNCTIONS The Communist Patty is not a compulsory society; it is based on the volun‘ary obligation of its members to pursue a revolutionary class policy on the basis of the program of the Communist In- ternational and to subject themselves to revolu- tionary discipline and to the decisions of the majori‘y of the Party. It has never occurred to us Communists to de- mand of the Social-Democrats as a condition of unity of action that they should accept our principles and subject themselves to our Party disciplines, to the decisions of the majori‘y of our Party. But all the more do we demand this of the members of our Party and all the more yet of such Party members as occupy leading posts in the Communist move- ment. The expulsion of Doriot does not show that the Communists are not sincere. It shows, on the con- trary that the Communis’s take seriously what they say and what they write, no matter whether it is a question of the inte-nal affairs of their own Party or of agreements with other Parties, (To Be Continued) y Burck j creasing the Communist vote. A\\ ew The Most Burning Question --- | On the | World Front | Conumesatl Gains, | Sweden and Australia | What the Doctors Order copa can be done in our | election campaign in the United States, if the Commue nist election program ig brought vigorously before the masses; is shown by the tree mendous gains made by the Communist Parties of Sweden and | Australia. Elections took place on September 18 in both of these countries. The Communist Party of Sweden ine creased its vote more than 450 per cent over the last elections; \ the Communist Party of Australia, more than 300 per cent. There are now 42 Communij deputies in the Swedish Riksdag, against 9 previously. This is a tri ‘3 mendous blow to the Social-Demo. 4 crats, and proof of the growing de. |sire of the workers for the united! | front, for a revolutionary struggle \ against war and fascism, for Soviet | power. | 5 AT IX Australia, the fight against the | Labor Party fakers gained the Communist Party a three-fold in« crease in votes over 1931. The elece tion program of the Communist Party of Australia was an excellent |piece of work. In the briefest man- ner it put forward the immediate demands of the workers, showing that the only way out for the work- ers was Soviet power, the establishe ment of a workers’ government. In the United States where the class struggle is sharper at this time than in either Sweden or Australia, with hundreds of thousands of workers on strike, and millions bat- tling against starvation conditions | of the New Deal, there is no reason at all, if sufficient energy, if suffi- { cient agitation and effort is put into i our campaign, why we should not j | exceed our brother parties in in | JHE Daily Worker has now added \ to its list a new exclusive press service from Stockholm, Sweden, which covers all of the Scandina- vian and Baltic states. It is called |the Nordisck Pressebureau & Tele- grafagentur, and will enable us to supply still fuller reports of the class struggle in these countries. For the benefit of our readers we want to point out now that our in- ternational news service and con- nections far exceed those of any capitalist newspaper in the United States. We receive, for example, the Chinese Workers Correspond- ence, which has special correspond- jents and writers in all of the Soviet | districts in China, in Canton, Han- kow, Shanghai, Peiping, and Man- churia. Then we get the daily mail and |cable reports from RUNA, whose main office is in Zurich, Switzer- land, and an English bureau in London. RUNA has special corres- pondents in every important city in Europe, and receives special un- , derground reports from Germany ry on the struggle against Fascism. \ We have lately added to our for- | eign news service INPRESS, with | | head offices in Paris, devoted chiefiy” to the fight on imperialist war and fascism. Besides daily mail service from this source, we have made ar- rangements for cable reports on all important events in Germany and France. The Daily Worker has a special correspondent, Vern Smith, in Moscow. Comrade Smith is now touring the Soviet Union writing special feature stories for our paper, which we print from time to time. Another of our exclusive press services is the International Press Correspondence which supplies us with cable news daily on the most important world events. News from Italy comes to us via |L'Informazione Italiana Servizio Stampa, which contains reports of economic and political conditions in | Fascist Italy and the struggle \ against the Mussolini murder ree | |gime gathered and sent out at great vTisk by an army of worker-corres- Pondents and writers. There are many others that we do not have space to mention here, es RE 'E have a very deliberate purpose in listing this impessive array of foreign news service. We have been challenged to enter the Daily Worke er financial drive in socialist come petition with every column in the |Daily Worker. It’s just what the doctors ordered. And we cannot disobey the Medical Advisory Board of the Daily Worker or permit Sen- der Garlin, Jack Burck, David Ram- say, or Helen Luke to run away with the contest without an effort |on our part. Comrade Garlin proposes to raise $500. We pledge to attempt to equal this, Certainly we ought to surpass it, if we are to make full use of our international press ser- vice and be able to supply our read- |ers with better and fuller cable re- ports on the tremendous events in Germany, France, the Soviet Union, Right now we are gypping our’ readers on a lot of valuable news because of lack of space, and lack of money to pay for it while it’s hot. If the $60,000 Daily Worker financial drive goes over, it means success for the two New York editions; it means’ more space for foreign news in the National Edition. It means a can utilize to the full the valu- lable news services we now receive.
