WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 24, 1934 Broken Promises OOSEVELT has made many sweet promises to the workers of this country. At the same time, he posed as the foe of the Wall Street “money changers.” But Rooseyelt’s actual record is a record of broken promises and increased misery for the masses, and new plunder for the Wall Street capitalists. E SAID he was against the monopolies. But his N.R.A.-New Deal policies have increased monop- oly profits 204 per cent in the past six months. He said he was against the bankers. But he has handed them and their industrial subsidiaries over $10,000,000.000 in subsidies and loans in the past 18 months. He said he was against inflation and for the “honest dollar.” But his going off the gold stand- ard and the devaluation of the dollar to 59 cents have affected a 20 per cent cut in the buying power of every worker and toiling farmer in the country. He said “no one would starve.” Bue now there are 17,000,000 people who are penniless and wholly pendent on starvation relief rations, with many Millions more unable to get even the meagre gov- ernmental relief. Roosevelt said he was against taxing food. Shortly after he levied an $800,000,000 processing tax on corn, wheat, and tobacco. He said he was for reducing debt payments, But he thas increased the debt payments to the bankers from about $750,000,000 to close to a $1,000,000,000. He said he was for peace. But he has spent $2,000,000,000 on the biggest war machine the coun- try has ever seen He said he would provide 5,000,000 workers with jobs. Instead. government reports admit that un- employment increased 6.8 per cent in the past month alone, and unemployment is now back to the peak levels of 1931-32. He said he would provide unemployment insur- anice. Instead, he has brutally refused to give one cent for Federal Unemployment Insuranee, and has appropriated $10 for the Wall Street “money chang- ers” for every $1 set aside for relief. Relief appro- Priations are being slashed to the bone and “sub- sistence farms” proposed in their stead. He promised that the high N.R.A. monopoly prices would restore wages. Instead he has brought wages down to a uniform starvation level through the codes, and has slashed the buying power of all workers through inflationary prices. He said his program would be a “social wel- fare” program. Instead, his A.A.A. program has @estroyed one-third of the country’s food supply, raising the price of bread and milk 15 to 30 per cent. In every one of his acts, Roosevelt has shown himself to be the agent of the Wall Street capital- ists, pursuing a capitalist class policy in the inter- ésts of the biggest Wall Street monopolies and against the majority of the people of the country, the workers and small farmers. These policies of Roosevelt, who posed as a friend of the “forgotten men,” should make every worker realize the necessity of defeating Roose- velt’s “New Deal” candidates, and of electing Com- munists pledged to the fight against Roosevelt and the needs of the masses. The record of the Com- munist Party in every struggle of the workers is the guarantee that their election promises will be fulfilled. A Step Toward Unity THE steps being taken by the Italian Federation of the Socialist Party and the Italian Bureau of the Communist Party to arrange united front actions for the liberation of political prisoners in Italy, indicates that the realization of the need for a united front of the entire working class is steadily developing among all sections of the proletariat. -<The Communist Party hails this step toward united action. Again it urges immediate united front struggle against the attacks that the capi- talists have launched upon the working class. The Gommunist Party has made these appeals repeated- Ty..in view of the urgent issues that confront the working class, all of which cry out for united ac- tioh against the class enemy—the capitalists. There is no time for delay, for diplomacy. Action is neces- sary. ~«Largo Caballero, the Socialist, and Thaelmann, “thé Communist, face immediate execution at the ands of the Spanish and German fascists. The ‘workers in the United States, daily, are the vic- tims of growing fascist attacks. The urgency of the situation demands imme- diate action, To delay means to play into the hands of the fasci' In Italy, in Spain, in France, and in Austria, the Socialists and the Communists have united in common struggle against the menace of fascism. We, the American working class, must also achieve the united front and destroy the fascist Menace. We call on all Communist Party organi- zations to press the united front issue with the local and state Socialist bodies. On the basis of @ common fight against war and fascism, on the immediate needs of the workers in the locality, on the struggle for the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, an unbreakable united front of action can be achieved. _“Whese indications of the unshakable desire of all ‘srs to unite against their class enemy will lead to the establishment of the united front, despite all the obstacles that enemies of working class unity put in the way of such action. Banks and the ‘New Deal’ HE open alignment of the Wall Street banks with the Roosevelt “New Deal” and the similar moves of Roosevelt toward openly expressed friendship for Wall Street banks are not the result merely of Roose- yelt's tecent speech “reassuring” the banks on his support of capitalist profit. The open merging of the Reosevelt government with the most powel Wall Street monopolies and financial groups is the result of the actual working out, in dollars and cents, of the “New Deal” policies in the p: welve or eighteen months. It is an expression of his class policies, his support for capitalism It is the huge profits which the “New Deal” has brought them that causes the Wall Street monopolies and banks to hail Roosevelt’s policies as their policies, and altogether in their capitalist interests. Here are some of the fruits the Wall Street banks and monopolies have gathered as a result of the capitalist class policies of the Roosevelt “New Deal’ Four hundred and eighty million dollars net profit for the first six months of this year for twenty-eight leading industries controlled by the Wal! Street banks. Increase of 204 per cent over profits last year. A compilation by the Morgan-dominated Na- tional City Bank of New York shows that 250 Wall Street corporations reaped $276,000,000 profits this year compared with $86,000,000 last year. Increase over 300 per cent. Dividend payments for the first quarter of this year were $1,105,100,000 compared with $965, 000,000 last year. Increase 15 per cent. Roosevelt's “New Deal” has been proven in actual practice to embrace the class policies of the capitalist class directed solely toward. increasing capitalist profit at the expense of the working class, whose real wages as a result. have been drastically reduced during this period. In his agreement with the Wall Street banks and industrialists, Roosevelt now shows himself openly as their agent, intensifying the exploitation and misery of the masses in order to provide the capitalist class with new profits. The working class can only fight such policies by joining and supporting the Communist Party, the Party of the working class. Vote Communist, against Roosevelt, on Nov, 6th! The Charity Racket MONDAY, Roosevelt appealed to the nation to support private charities, because the government counts on them to carry some of the burden of relief. He claimed that “it is contrary to a sound public policy to transfer more burdens to the shoulders of the government,” and that therefore private charity should be maintained at its present level. In other words, Roosevelt shifts the relief load to the backs of the workers. The government re- fuses to assume responsibility for unemployment, and the workers are to be left to the tender mercies of the charity racketeers, This means that the workers who are employed will have to kick in with contributions or lose their jobs. The bosses will then take the credit, and the unemployed will get the leavings, The whole history of capitalism shows that in not a single economic crisis has private charity been of any help to starvtag workers and their families. What miserable assistance was given camé from the government, which was forced into relief activity by the mass actions of the workers, The sums that the charities ask for could not furnish relief to more than a tiny fraction of the unemployed. And even these pitiful sums never reach the workers. The charity racket is an in- tegral part of the capitalist machine, and as such it looks out for its own pockets and for the interests of the ruling class. In the current issue of the American Mercury, John L, Spivak exposes the “Shady Business in the Red Cross.” He has unearthed facts about the Red Cross, the king pin of the charity racket, that are typical of the whole rotten system of private char- ities. He shows how the Red Cross collected $3,500,000 for relief work last year. Of this sum, only $1,000,000 was spent on relief. The other $2,500,000 was spent by the officials on salaries and other “expenses.” He shows up its strikebreaking actions in its refusal to give relief to starving strikers. He points to its policy of forcing workers to work without pay for private employers if they want to get re- lief. He demonstrates with a host of facts that the Red Cross is “a first class war machine, which is chiefly interested in preparing for the next war, and only incidentally in ‘relief work’.” The ruling class policies of the Red Cross are the policies of the entire racket. For Roosevelt to insist that the charities take care of the unem- ployed, simply means to propose that the unem- Ployed be condemned to slow starvation. The char- ity organizations cannct, and will not, furnish re- lief. Roosevelt's brutal proposal calls for the inten- sification of the campaign for the enactment of the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, Every unemployed worker knows what it means to come cap in hand to the sweet sisters of charity. The way to avoid that is through support for the Communist Party and mass struggle under its leadership for social insurance. They Don’t Fool Farley HE “radical” phrases of Upton Sinclair don’t fool the Democratic boss, Jim Farley. Farley has just publicly endorsed Sin- clair’s candidacy for Governor in Cali- fernia, Sinclair seeks to fool the masses of California with the miracles of his corn cure EPIC pian for abolishing poverty in California. But the very capitalist exploiters who are re- sponsible for the misery, hunger and unemployment of the California workers give Sinclair their enthu- Siastic approval! He is their candidate 100 per cent. He is the candidate of the “New Deal,” which has brought increasing poverty to the marine, lumber, agricultural, and factory workers in California. Is it not clear that it is a fatel illusion to think that Sinclair will do anything to touch one cent of his backer’s profits? Is it not an illusion to believe that Sinclair is “better” than the other capitalist candidates? The Democratic Party, controlled by Wail Street banks and monopolies, dangles Sinclair before the masses only in order to divert the masses from class struggle against the Cailfornia capitalists.

In our section the main work is in the field of Unemployment Councils. In these Councils there is a veritable gold mine of mili- tancy and potential revolutionary consciousness. There is no doubt that if our comrades are able to construct the proper bridges be- tween these mass organizations and our Party that many workers will find their way across. Yesterday I signed a worker up for the Party. He stated his de- termination to stand firm in the fight against the bosses, and has | also been active in his council. However, I realized that unless this worker was immediately provided with ideological equipment that his | militancy would not be sufficient to keep him in the Party.

This outline would only re- quire a one sentence statement of | the Party position on various points, such as: | 1. The capitalist system can only be eliminated by a prole- tarian revolution. 2. The government should be in the hands of the working class | in the form of a dictatorship of | the proletariat. | 3. There should be no discrim- | ination against Negro and foreign born workers. 4.

A BOSTON UNEMPLOYED WORKER, Release of Rakosi Demanded at Rally of Workers in Uruguay MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Oct. 16. —A demonstration here of Hun- garian workers against the dema- gogy of a Jesuit Hungarian priest concluded with a speech delivered by a worker at the altar of the church calling on those present to fight for the release of Mathias Rakosi, the anti-fascist now lying in a prison in fascist Hungary, and calling for~three cheers for the Hungarian Communist Party. The Hungarian Jesuit priest, Bangha, is traveling on behalf of the Hungarian government in South America in order to carry on patri- otic propaganda under the cover of religious sermons. The Hungarian | Workers Association of Montey.deo was invited to such a sermon, The workers decided to accept the invi- tation. As soon as the so-called re- ligious service was over, one of | them got up and made the follow- | ing speech: “Hungarian fsllow-workers! In| the name of the Hungarian workers in Uruguay we declare to the mis- sionary of the Hungarian govern- |ment, Pater Bangha, that we raise the sharpest protest against the in- tended legal murder of our class brother, Mathias Rakesi, and that we demand his immediate release.

By Louis Perigaud (Former editor of “Populaire,” organ of the Socialist Party of France.) No one has forgotten the rever- berations raised among the ex- ploited masses of all countries when Romain Rolland and Henri Bar- busse sent forth their appeal. The millions of toilers represented at Amsterdam in 1932 symbolized the birth of a great movement calling on all classes of workers to the common struggle against the com- mon enemy—war. Speaking for myself, I shall never forget the reports given by the French delegates before the 25,000 Parisians who were able to gain en- trance to the overcrowded and ui- terly inadequate arena, while in the streets 20,000 others fought with the police in a monstrous provocation during which many of our comrades were wounded. First Reaction of Bosses This was the first reaction of the capitalists to the new movement, and it was not the sole reaction, but it proved that they well understood | of this unique) the significance event which was soon to shake world opinion and completely trans- form political alignments. The liv- ing proof that they were not mis- taken is the unity of action realized | in France, in Italy, the Saar, and in Spain. However, in spite of all its strength, our movement had this weakness, Detracting from its pos- sible force was the absence of the Second International. True, an im- portant number of the members of the French Socialist Party had an- swered the call of Barbusse and Rolland and -had sent a delegate to Amsterdam, but party discipline continually menaced and hung over the heads of our Socialist comrades. Some few—very few— abandoned their stand, but the larger number persisted and were subsequently ex- pelled by the- National Council on Oct. 5, 1933. Enemies Organize All during the time that these discussions, these expulsions were | going on, the enemy was organizing. The economic crisis, although strik- ing later here than in other coun- tries, was becoming ever more acute, and internal conditions were becoming more and more aggra- vated. The role of social servation played by the Rad- ical Panty left no room for doubt in the mind of a single mili- tant Socialist. It was not longer necessary to prove the failure of bourgeois democracy. This division in the -social-radical bloc deepencd and the Socialist workers turned to look for a firm ally and found one —in their Communist comrades. Many of them, braying the bolts of party discipline, swelled the ranks of our movement for the united front. More and more the fascists dared to show themselves in the streets under the indulgent eye ef the po- lice. It was then that the Stavisky seandal broke. The masses, disgusted by the stream of compromise, expressed their anger in no uncertain terms on the sireets. The Radical Party could no longer remain in the min- istry and from then on did not offer the slightest resistance to the men- ace of fascism, completely covered as it was with the mud of the scan- dal, Without a scruple their leaders exploited the fury of the peovle and brought about the Fe>ruary 6th as- sault, And: the workers, veterans though they were, were thus o con- | de la Concorde by the very same leaders who were arrested and thrown into prison for having been the accomplices. of the arch-swin- dier. These individuals, so compro- mised and intertwined in thievery, were the ones who pretended to lead honest workers but whose only reason for their activity was the hope of setting up a fascist regime whch would have allowed them to continue their crooked careers and at the same time to strangle any possible struggle of the working class. In the face of such trickery we had remained divided, and con- scious of our weakness, we were un- able to offer any resistance against | something which could be overcome j only by the unity of all. It was then that the spark burst | out which fired all minds. Then, those who had refused to join in any united action understood the whole extent of their error. So- cialists, Communists, unorganized workers all found themselves shoulder to shoulder on Feb. 12. Three hundred thousand marched | along Vincennes and the Place de | la Nation. | Leon Blum and Marcel Cachin addressed the demonsiration. They still spoke from separate platforms, but a great step had been taken. Tomorrow would take care of the rest. 90 Per Cent on Strike The strike, supported by the two parties, was 90 per cent successful. Never had a similar strike been re- corded. So grimly and firmly did it hold that the government did not dare to make a single move against the strike leaders. Fascism in a brutal form still lived, but it sur- vived hypocritically, disguised- as a national coalition which could rule only with the support of the decree Jaws. But the unity of a day did not remain thus, without a tomor- row. The workers wished it, de- manded it at any price. On the morning of the funerals of our comrades who had fallen in the battles of the preceding days enor- mous crowds were massed in the streets. Through these crowds could be seen only one gesture, the raised fist of vengeance: one cry only was heard, “United action!” The heads of all parties who were present com- prehended the force of this move- ment so resolute in suomerging all differences. Our committee pre- pared the ground. Under its guid- ance in all the cities of France So- cialist and Communist workers fought side by side, many signing the pact of unity with their blood. Taking the initiative, the Commu- nist Party launched a vibrant ap- peal for unity to the Socialist Party, which no longer would, cr could, hesitate in giving its answer. Rep- resentat:ves of the two parties met, entered into discussions, argued, took stock of one another; condi- tions were posed, debated, accented and, after the National Council of the Socialist Party had been hastily gathered together, ratified. It was done—UNITED ACTION WAS AN ACTUAL FACT. j Whet happiness throughout |France! One met old, old militants | who wept with joy.

Or will the militants, who realize well enough the importance of utiliz- ing the diverse experiences of the workers throughout the world, de- cide that unity of action must bo IMPOSED on their leaders, who still refuse to act? e Do the Socialist workers realize that the capitalists are pushing the masses toward the formation of two blocs, each with its own tactics, one ONE of the American capitalist newspapers carried detailed re- ports of Socialist and Communist results in the recent Department elections in France. We have just received the following: At the firs: ballot, which took place on Sunday, Oct. 7, 1,192 of the 1,518 candidates were elected, and 308 candidates remain for the second ballot election. Where can- didates do not receive a sufficient proportion of the votes at the first election, they are carried over to a subsequent election. None of the parties recorded any great gains. The Communists were, however, able to increase the number of their seats by 11, in comparison with the firs ballot of the last élections. Three Communists still stand for the second ballot. The Socialists have »already won 58 seats; 48 stand for the second bal- lot. The right Marin group gained nine seats (a to‘al of 227 seats, with 41 on the second ballot). The Neo- Socialists won 15 seats, 11 candi- dates standing for the second ballot. Numerically, the Communist Party gained many votes—over 10,000 as compared with the 1928 elections. The greatest gains were made in the industrial centers.
