THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934 A. F. L. Members--Fight for Trade Union Unity HE statement of the T.U.U.L. on the question of trade union unity, issued by its national secretary, William Z. Foster, and printed in the Daily Worker of Sept. 29, places squarely upon William Green and his official family responsibil- ity for the division in the trade union movement and the inroads made by the employers and the Roosevelt government in their attack on the workers. “We warned that the labor leaders who accepted the N.R.A. and served on its various boards were really helping to chain the workers to the slavery program of the employers,” vs the statement of the Trade Union Unity League. The promises of the N.R.A. and its boards, to which Green belongs, have not been kept. Instead, more speedup, low minimum wages, long hours and union smashing, have been forced upon the workers by Roosevelt and the N.R.A. “Where the workers have been able to improve their conditions and win union recognition, was this not because the workers were able through their own organized efforts and struggle to compel the employers to grant them these gains,” asks the T.U.U.L. state- ment. While these attacks have been going on Green has been praising the N.R.A., praising John- ising the whole Roosevelt set-up and g tack on Communists. Instead of com- ing to the defense of the workers who were strik- ing against unbearable conditions, Green attacked their strikes, as in San Francisco, and betrayed these struggles to the N.R.A. boards, thus defeating the demands of the workers, as in the auto in- dustry. Green, at the A. F. of L. convention, continues this policy of discouraging any fight for better conditions and for the workers’ rights. He and Gorman, et al, try to get the workers to accept a “no strike truce” which means acceptance of blacklist, of company unions, of strikebreaking terror, of speed-up, low wages and long hours. HE CONTINUES HIS RED SCARE. He continues to preach co-operation with the employers and proves enly compulsory “arbitration” by Roose- velt Boards. T 1£ oaly road for winning better conditions, and for building the unions, lies through the fight- ing class unity program proposed by the T.U.ULL. “One union in every industry,” real industrial union- ism on the basis of a fighting policy, is the T.U.U.L. proposal. This is and always was the policy of Communists. The T.U.U.L. calls on the dele- gates to the convention and on all A. F. of L. mem- bers to fight for “a platform to include the adoption of the principle of working class struggle as against the policy of class collaboration; the true charac- terization of the N.R.A, as the bosses weapon against the workers; the unconditional right to strike, including the sympathy strike and the gen- eral strike; against arbitration, the results of which can be seen in auto, steel and other industries, and now in the Winant proposals for the textile workers, That the convention adopt the policy of genuine industrial unions based on the class strug- gle (and not the sham proposals of John L. Lewis, head of the U.M.W.A.), through which alone the many millions of unorganized can be brought into the unions. That the convention go on record guaranteeing full equality to the Negro workers. ‘That the needs of youth and women labor be fully brought forward; that the convention endorse and take steps to carry on a struggle for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill; against support in elections of candidates of the capitalist parties. That a real campaign be undertaken to defeat the growing menace of the company unions, and in general a fight be decided upon against the menace of fascism and a new imperialist world slaughter, the danger of an imperialist attack on the Soviet Union.” The T.U.U.L. calis for full democratic rights of the rank and file, and an end to Green's red scare and expulsion policy, as well as an end to racketeer- ing and gangsterism in the unions. The T.U.UL. calls for a united fight of all union members on the basis of this program, to defeat the attacks of the bosses and their government, and a drive on the basis of this fighting program to organize the millions of unorganized workers. We urge all members of the A. F. of L. to con- sider carefully the proposals of the T.U.U.L. Here Jies the road to a united, strong and militant trade union movement. Through organization in all A. F. of L. locals of the opposition to Green, Lewis and company, and for this fighting program; through strengthening the industrial unions of the T.U. UL., which are carrying on the militant struggles in the interests of the masses; by drawing the in- dependent unions around this program, we shall march forward to the goal of ONE POWERFUL UNITED TRADE UNION MOVEMENT. Two Sets of Promises 7° CATCH the votes of the workers, the Roosevelt candidates throughout the country make the wildest promises about unemployment insurance, lower hours, modification of the N.R.A. to benefit the workers, and so on. The same line is being pressed by the A. F. of L. leaders who want the Roosevelt candi- dates supported. The greater the illusions they can instill about the Roosevelt government the easier it will be for them to prevent and defeat strikes, they reason. But what is actually taking place in Washington on the most fundamental questions confronting the workers? Roosevelt answers the criticism of the Liberty Leaguers, and some of the durable goods manufacturers, by assuring them that the policy of the big trusts will dominate no matter what he promises the masses, First of all, Roosevelt promises the employers (and it the kind of premise he makes the workers) that the government will be used to stop the higher wages and improved men know from past ex- It's talk of a truce means in drive to defeat the workers’ conditions and for union is not strike wave for struggle for improved rights. * * * HE leading newspaper expressing the views of the so-called critics of Roosevelt in the camp of the ex s, the Herald Tribune, commenting on Roosevelt’s speech, declared: “It is, in our judgment, the most encouraging that has come fram the President.” Indeed it is the most encouraging for all who want to smash the workers’ struggles, to put over the company unions, to lower wages and increase profits. That’s exactly what the Tribune means, It becomes clearer than ever as election ap- proaches that a vote for any of the capitalist can- didates is a vote for the strike “truce.” Every vote for the bosses’ candidates means more force, and more confidence in Roosevelt’s policy of breaking strikes through arbitration; it is a vote for raising profits for the bosses, and a vote against unemploy- ment insurance. Recent developments make it far easier than ever before for the Communist candidates, for every Communist, to expose the Roosevelt regime and bring forward the Communist program as the only one fighting in the interests of the workers, Along with the fight in the unions to defeat the strike- breaking truce, should go a fight to support and vote for the Communist Party, which in the elections is fighting the whole program of those putting for- ward this anti-labor policy. Protect the Textile Strikers | ONTINUED terror is sweeping the tex- tile fields, following the sell-out of the general textile strike by Francis Gorman and the A. F. of L. leaders. In all sections of the country, prison sentences are being meted out to active strikers. In Lowell on next Saturday—called “Red Satur- day” in the Lowell papers—four workers are to be tried on a whole series of charges ranging from “disturbing the peace’ (by shouting “Read the Daily Worker”), to assault and distributing Com- munist Party leaflets. These workers committed the crime of being active on Lowell picket lines and trying to win the textile strike. A 23-year-old textile worker, Pearl Odom, in Kosciusko, Miss., has been sentenced to ten years in prison on a framed up charge of robbery and attacking a watchman, because she led picket lines. In Atlanta, Ga., women textile strikers are now facing long prison sentences in the courts for their strike activity. In Gastonia, the Manville-Jenkes Company has lodged two strikers in jail on a framed up charge, following an attack on these workers by company thugs. 5 Scores are in jail in Maine, Rhode Island, and Southern states, some already serving sentences, . . . HE leadership of the United Textile Workers is not lifting a finger to organize a protest against these attacks on the most active textile workers. Gorman, for example, only this week ordered 100 Pecquot mill loomfixers in Salem, Mass., to call off their strike and go back to work and ac- cept discrimination. While textile workers are being fired and put into prison, Gorman, instead of organizing a fight in their behalf, issues bootlicking statements prais- ing Roosevelt’s “no-strike” speech and favoring a “truce” with the employers, which means a conti- nuation of the blacklist and terror, and condemns the textile workers to low wages and grinding speed-up. The working class of the United States must not allow the imprisonment and blacklist of the best fighters among the textile workers to proceed unhindered. The broadest protest against the black- list and the prison sentences and court trials must be organized without delay. A Warning to the Pocketbook Workers IHE strike of the pocketbook workers in New York, now entering its second week, is the most effective walkout in the history of the Pocketbook Workers Union. Nearly 7,000 workers are out, including workers in centers outside of New York who have never been involved in previous strikes. It was the united struggle of the rank and file against Osip Wolinsky and the reactionary admin- istration, who attempted to railroad through a settlement that would give up the basic demands of the workers, that forced the strike. It was this united struggle, the fine fighting spirit of the union members, that has made the strike strong and ef- fective. Aware of ihe strength of the strike, the employ- ers are trying to smash it with the aid of the ousted officials. For more than a week they have been carrying on secret negotiations with the ousted ad- ministration, hoping to rob the workers of victory. In this situation the United Front Committee, leading the strike, which has on it a minority of left wing workers, made a serious mistake. The com- mittee permitted the ousted officials to continue in strategic positions, such as chairman of the strike committee, chairman of the picket committee and secretary of the union, which strategic positions they are using to betray the strike. It has been definitely established that Mr. Gold- man and his allies have had secret conferences with the bosses. Their treachery has reached a point where the success of the strike is at stake. The left wing workers in the strike leadership, laboring under a mistaken idea of unity, have failed to expose the treacherous maneuvers of the ousted Officials for fear that such an exposure would weaken the ranks of the strikers. Such unity is only a sham unity based on a lack of confidence in the rank and file workers. It contradicts the very idea of a workers’ united front, which must be based on a united struggle in de- fense of workers’ interests against all enemies within and outside the union ranks. The best and most effective way to strengthen the strike and to build a real united front against all enemies is for every honest worker in the strike leadership to expose before the workers the treach- erous maneuvers that are being carried on by Mr. Goldman. These misleaders must be driven from the ranks of the strikers. They must be replaced by commit- tees of honest rank and file workers who have no other interests in mind but winning the strike. Such action would warn the bosses that they cannot break the strike by maneuvering with ousted officials, that a settlement can come only through negotiations with authorized representatives of the workers on the basis of the demands of the work- ers, subject to the approval of rank and file strikers. Zamora Bars | Workers In | New Cabinet! | MADRID, Oct. 3—After an all- | day conference with political lead- ers, President Zamora asked Ale- | jandro Lerroux, leader of the Rad- jical Party, to form a new Cabinet incorporating the Center and Right Parties and excluding altogether any representation of the Spanish masses. | In thus utilizing the figure-head | of a mass party, without actually | jallowing a representative of the| | workers to enter the Cabinet, the| leaders of Spanish reaction hope to} strike out for a fastist dictator-| ship. Although the government refuses to hold any new elections, in fear that the anger of the masses at |being excluded from the Cabinet | will be registered at the polls, So- | cialists, Communists and Syndical- |ists stand together on their declara- tion opposing any administration | Which does not include representa- tion of the workers. Demand for Strike ‘Sweeps East Coast (Continued from Page 1) side the hall more than 1,000 sea- |men from the mass meeting that |} was held at South and Whitehall Streets marched past the I. 8. U. |hall, shouting denunciations of the Olander betrayal and urging all rank and file seamen to join the strike on Monday. Yesterday members of crews of ships belonging to the Eastern Steamship Company came to the I. §. U. hall and asked to see the agreement which Olander signed. Silas B. Axtell, counsel to the dis- trict committee of the I. S. U., told the men that he could not show it to them, but that he could tell them what was in it. The men left the hall disgusted when Ax- tell failed to show them where the seamen had won anything. Protesting against the refusal to include representatives of the Jcint Strike Preparations Committees in the negotiations with the ship- owners, Roy B. Hudson, chairman of the committee, sent a telegram to Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, demanding again that the commit- tee be represented. Yesterday a group of more than 200 licensed officers who drew up a series of demands to present to the shipowners, elected a delegate to the Joint Strike Preparations Committee, sent a delegation to the offices of the United Licensed Offi- cers Association and requested to meet with the central committee of the organization to discuss the de- ;mands and to form a united front officers’ strike committee which will have representation on the general strike committee. Bert Todd, secre- tary of the Association, gave the delegation no definite answer on the unity proposal. A licensed offi- cers’ committee will present their demands to the ship owners today. To rally the Philedelphia seamen for the struggle, a mass meeting will be held at 312 South Second St., tonight, addressed by Hayes Jones, editor of the Marine Work- ers’ Voice. A report from New Orleans states that there is tremendous sentiment in that port for the strike. The New Orleans Provisional Strike Action Committee has announced that it will hold a port conference of sea- men who are on the beach and ship representatives Sunday at 3 p.m. ‘1-Day Strike Urged At A. F. L. Session. (Continued from Page 1) all likelihood has been timed to coincide with the moment the anti- Red drive is expected to get under full steam. There are a number of develop- ments tending to show that con- vention officialdom is preparing with more than usual care to attack the resolutions which support the rank and file program, as well as take some kind of organizational steps against delegates suspected of Com- munist leanings. It is even prob- able that such measures will be di- rected against all lower delegates whose resolutions in any way run counter to the official program of the convention leadership. Weinstock Cross-Questioned Louis Weinstock, secretary of the A. F. of L. Rank and File Commit- tee for Unemployment Insurance, has been closely questioned by a number of newspaper correspon- dents whose close connections with Green, Woll, Morrison and others are fairly well known. The questions put to Weinstock related to his alleged connections with one Bill Dunne and the con- nection of Dunne, if any, with the rank and file movement. Another indication that official- dom is trying to build up a better case for their anti-Red drive than they have at present is the fact that Frank Morrison, national secre- tary of the A. F. of L., has ques- tioned a number of delegates in- troducing resolutions dealing with various points of the rank and file program in regard to their knowl- edge of the meaning of the reso- lutions they have sponsored. The inference is that they are simply dupes of cunning Reds. So far the delegates have replied to Morrison that the resolutions speak for them- selves and that what they mean as part of a proposed program for organized labor will be shown on the floor during the discussion. Rank and File Meeting Held The popular character of the meeting held Monday night in Eagles Hall, with between 800 and 1,000 workers present, most of them members of unions and including a large number of delegates to the convention, doubtless has caused the convention bureaucracy to do a little thinking of a not too cheer- ful character, STEER CLEAR, SAILOR! By Samuel Weinman The Chaco War “bids fair to continue its sanguinary course in- definitely. Another effort to bring peace to the warring factions in the desert of the Gran Chaco is likely to end in failure,” wrote Harold B. Hinton, New York Times cor- respondent in Washington on Sept. 8th. This forecast completely ex- poses the “arbitration” by the U.S. Department of State, the Pan- American Union, the Commission of Neutrals, and the League of Na- tions, as so many sham “peace” gestures. Hinton’s dismal outlook is based on the proposition that the con- clusion of peace in the Chaco must rely upon imperialist arbitration. Hinton omitted from the reckon- ing a most decisive factor — the workers and peasants of Paraguay and Bolivia are refusing to fight an imperialist war. This news has just reached here from Paraguay, es- caping the rigid military censor- ship by mail and through the il- legal Communist Party press in Latin America, including “Informa- ciones” from Urugay, “Masas” from Cuba, and “El Soviet” from Colom- bia. Soldiers Fraternize at Front Paraguayan soldiers are frater- nizing with Bolivian troops at the front. They are sharing each other’s cigarettes and food. They ere applauding each other's sing- ing, Paraguay’s troops in many in- their own officers, of whom many have been killed in this manner. The government has no faith in the army’s loyalty. In fact guns are issued to the soldiers only at the front. Rebellion in the army has reached such heights that the ruling class is afraid to risk put- ting weapons into the hands of workers and peasants in uniform. soldiers have lost their lives in the More than 40,000 Paraguayan stances have turned their guns at) The Communist Party Loads Fight Against Bosses in the Chaco War ¢ ative. Deameuliee: jock war in the last two years. The real- ization that they are fighting an Anglo-American conflict for oil is swiftly gaining ground in the army. Rotten food and lack of clothng are stirring up great discontent at the front. Only the severest terror keeps the soldiers in line. The government dreads anticipat- ing demobilization when, and if, the war comes to an end. The gov- ernment is scared by the prospect of what may happen when thou- sands of soldiers with guns in their hands are released from the army. Preparations have already been made to prevent a revolt following the mobilization. The Foreign- Legion, composed of mercenary soldiers, is being strengthened with a view to pitting them against revo- lutionary troops. White Russian officers are taking a leading part in the counter-revolutionary plans. Forced Labor Established Conditions behind the battle lines in Paraguay are intolerable. Forced labor has been establshed all over the country. Women and children are compelled to work in the factories, since even fifteen- year-old boys have been drafted into the army. Those who resist forced labor are shipped to the front. Demonstrations against the high cost of living and _ strikes against wage cuts have been bru- tally attacked by the police. Paraguayan peasants are literally fighting against the war. They have been stripped of their property by military requisitions for the sup- port of the war. The peasants, under the leadership of the Com- munist Party, have rallied around the slogan “Peasants, resist all army requisitions! Not one grain of corn, nor a single horse, nor a mule, nor a cow to help the imperialist war!” Peasants Take Up Arms In many sections the peasants have taken arms and organized into fighting forces. They are waging guerilla warfare against regular army troops who are sent to col- lect requisitions and to recruit peas- ants into the army. The peasant guerillas have engaged the regular forces in many sharp battles, and they have inflicted several smash- ing defeats upon the government troops. At least twice, once at Villa En- carnacion and again at Coronel Bogado, peasant forces have stormed government troop trains full of recruits bound for the front; the peasant partisans promptly freed the recruits and helped them to escape the war; at the same time the peasants confiscated the army foot supply. Organized armed peasants have cut the wire fences of the rich ranch owners and killed cattle for their own use. Aid from Argentina Help in the anti-war struggle has also come from Argentina. The longshoremen of Buenos Aires have refused to lead or unload munitions destined for the Gran Chaco. In all the anti-war struggles, in Paraguay’s shops, countryside and army, the Communist Party is in the forefront. Many Communists have been arrested, jailed and tor- tured. In spite of the terror the Communist Party continues to lead the fight against the war. The toil- ing masses, both at the front and at the rear, have been eagerly re- ceptive to Communist propaganda. |The government is justified in its jpanic-stricken fear of the increas- ing influence of the leadership of the Communist Party, for neither Wall Street nor the League of Na- tions (neither the Standard Oil Co. nor Royal Dutch Shell) will stop the war. But the workers and peasants, led by the Communist Party, and assisted by the Interna- tional proletariat through such ac- tions as the longshoremen of Buencs Aires, are advancing rap- idly towerd the point of transform- ing the imperialist war into a civil war. . French Imperialists Move to Boost Power Of Warfare Machine PARIS, Oct. 3—French imperial- ism today heightened the atmos- phere of war preparations by mak- ing three simultaneous moves. All metals needed In time of war were prohibited from leaving the country, through a high export tax placed on scrap copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel and tin. Fifteen thousand reservists, who finished their period of service on Sept. 30, instead of being dispersed into small reserve groups, were united into a single emergency re- serve army, “formation division No, 41.” General Weygand, chief of staff of the French army, who will have reached the retirement age of 68 on Jan, 21—significantly just be- fore the Saar plebiscite—will prob- ably not retire. The reorganiza- tion and thorough modernization of the army, of which General Wey- gand has charge, is not yet com- plete, and since, according to the announcement of Foreign Minister Barthou, the French army will take charge in the Saar if the League of Nations is unsuccessful in recruit- ing an international force, it is critically necessary for Weygand to remain at the head of the army. MASS FUNERAL FOR VET CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 3.— Aaron Bass, war veteran and mem- ber of the Communist Party, was buried here last Thursday at a mass funeval attended by hundreds of workers and friends. Bass’ death is attributed directly to a wound received in the World War. He died Wednesday, Sept. 26, at the St. Luke’s hospital here, t British Labor Party Chiefs Move to Back Imperialists LONDON, Oct. 3.—All efforts to put a “left” tinge on the British Labor Party were defeated by the trade union leaders and former La- bor Cabinet ministers at the 34th Conference of the Party, now in session. Rejecting the amendments of the Socialist League, the Labor Party leaders in control of the confer- ence mover more openly in their support of British imperialism and its war preparations. Sir Stafford Cripps, leader of the “lefts,” attacked the Labor Pariy program as aiming to maintain capitalism, working only for wrest- ing the maximum reforms for the workers. The “lefts” proposed measures for peaceful socialization of industry, finance and land. Votes for the bureaucracy were cast by leaders of 2,146,000, while leaders of 206,000 voted for the “lefts,” Support to the British govern- ment’s role in the League of Na- tions was urged by Arthur Hender- son. Even the so-called lefts were in favor of Britain’s policy in the League, raising illusions about the peaceful aims of their imperialist masters. Forgetting to mention the fact thet in the Soviet Union there was a dictatorship in the proletariat, the “lefts” urged that the British delegates at the League follow the same policies as the U. S. S. R., working to the limit for peace. Without mentioning this basic class difference of the British and Soviet governments, Arthur Hen- derson offered a resolution which was unanimously adopted express- ing satisfaction that the Soviet Union joined the League of Nations, characterizing this move as a step that would “render the collective peace system more effective, hasten disarmament and make new oppor- tunities fo- ‘sternational economic co-operation.” Previous to the calling of the conference the Labor Party leaders had been preparing ‘the ground by statements and actions tending to- ward the support of the war policy of their government, and against all united front actions fascism. U.S. S. R. Completes Rail Line To Connect New Oil Territories (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Oct. 3 (By Wireless). —With the completion of 160 kil- ometers of railway line from Ufa to Ishimbaevo, the new oilbearing dis- tricts in Bashkirla are ready to be tapped. These oil-fields are ac- quiring great industrial importance, since the main reservoir of oil in- dustrially developed up to this time has been in Baku. Pumping lines are now being stretched to the new oil-fields from hydraulic stations which have al- ready been constructed. Within the next few days the first train leaves Ishimbaey for Ufa with Bashkirian Oil, On the World Front Military Pamphleteers For War Against the U.S.S.R, |Their Friends in the U. S. ESPITE reports from Tokyo that an understand- ing has been reached with the Soviet Union for the sale of the Chinese Eastern Railway, the Japanese army drives re- lentlessly for war against the U.S. S.R. The latest evidence of this fact, which has caused an international furor, is an official army pamphlet issued by the commanding steff of the Japanese army flat-footedly call- ing for immediate preparations of the whole country for war against the Soviet Union. “The Basic Principles of National Defense and Proposal fer Strengih- ening It,” is the title of the pam- phlet, 160,000 copies of which have been distributed throughout Japan, Ph ae PEAKING the real aims of the Japanese militarists, who have lood bonds with the big trusts and the Emperor, this pamphlet em- phasizes the fact that the whole at- tack on the Chinese Eastern Rail- way, as well as the breaking off of negotiations, and their re-opening, are only marking time, while the Japanese war lords pick the day for the bloody assault on the workers’ fatherland. In China, the press is openly dis- cussing, not the probability of the war of Japanese imperialism against the Soviet Union, but the tactics and concrete steps of this war. For them, Japan has already opened the first phase of the war. The Jap- anese press is already publishing spy material on the readiness of the Red Army to meet the planned drive of the Japanese war lords, The only thing left open is the date, and even that is narrowed down by the Far Eastern observers. The China Weekly Review, for exe ample, in the latest issue coming to these shores, points out that it is always the tactics of Japanese imperialism to strike suddenly and at the most unexpected moment, SN ie em 'HAT a pamphlet appears in Jae pan officially calling on the whole country to be ready for this war is evidence of its nearness, One thing worries the Japanese war lords, and that is the inner crisis, the growing strike struggles, the increased peasant discontent, and the necessity of allaying this upsurge. At the same time, the very fact of growing dicciculties in Japan, drives them forward to an imperialist adventure against the Soviet Union. Politicians par excellence, the Japanese commanding staff dis- cusses the internal conditions of Japan as follows, and offers rem- edies not entirely alien to Fascist ideology: “If only part of the people enjoy profits, especially profits without labor, and the majority are in dis- tress and misery, a class opposition results which the State cannot ig- nore from the standpoint of na- tional defense. “It is desirable for the people to abandon the selfish, individualistic economic sense, to awaken to moral principles and to hasten to estab- lish an economy embodying the em= pire’s ideals, “The military wants the national consciousness built up sufficiently to prevent radical thoughts from gaining a foothold in people’s minds and it would cultivate the spirit of personal sacrifice in which the country’s welfare alone counts, while ruling out extreme interna- tionalism and individualism.” ea a SEEMS the contact of the Jap- anese military with Hitler has resulted in more than a military alliance; it has resulted in an adop= tion of Fascist demagogy and aims, Now because the same pamphlet has a reference to the United States Army’s 3,000 airplanes as against Japan's claimed 1,000, the American capitalist press tries to make it ap- pear that the threat is aimed not alone against the Soviet Union but the United States as well. Without underestimating or belittling in the slightest the growing antagonism between the United States and Japan, this effort is sheer popycock, ec a ghae OWERFUL forces in the United States, in fact, are helping Ja~ pan’s war plans against the Soviet Union. We have repeatedly men- tioned the du Pont, General Motors assistance to Japan’s war plans, Now we have information that the forces leading the fight against America’s recognition of the U. S, S. R. are still in the State Depart- ment and are the ones blocking every effort at the Soviet debt settlement at this time. And there is not a word of disagreement from Roosevelt. The following comes from “The Daily Washington Merry Go Round,” by Drew Pearson and Robert S, .Allen: “The real story of the Russian debt stalemate is in the attitude of the career boys who opposed Russian recognition in the first place. After Roosevelt had ironed out the main feature of Soviet recognition last October he turned the rest of the details over to State Department functionaries, Chief among these are Robezt F. Kelley, the man who supplicd anti-Soviet ammunition to Sec- retaries Kellogg and Hughes. With him has worked Assistant Secre- tary Walton P. Moore, a charm- ing Virginia gentleman but a novice at foreign affairs.” Contributions received to the credit of Harry Gannes in his So- cialist competition with “Change the World” and the Medical Ad- visory Board in the Daily Worker $60,000 drive.
