He approved the sending of over half a million textile workers back to work without a single one of their demands being granted, Am- mirato is just as responsible as Gorman and Green for the sell-out of the general textile strike. The telegram sent out by Gorman on Sept. 22, calling off and betraying the general textile strike stated in its first sentence, “By unanimous vote of the Executive Council your heroic strike ends in complete victory.” Ammirato, member of the Execu- tive Council of the U. T. W. voted for all of Gor- man’s strikebreaking measures. He has tried to ex- plain this away, but it stands out in black and white on page 395 of the Sept. “Textile Worker,’ official organ of the U. T. W. So far, the militancy of the dye strikers has kept Ammirato and other misleaders from selling out the present strike. The strike is 100 per cent solid due to the strikers’ militancy. But Ammirato is following out the orders of Green and Gorman. He has brought Gorman into the negotiations with the bosses and the govern- ment ‘ These misleaders are keeping the negotiations secret from the strikers. Is Ammirato opposed to piacing settlement of union complaints in the hands of a Roosevelt “impartial” arbitration board or is he not? Ammirato has not told the strikers whether he is in favor of this compulsory arbitration or not! Such an “impartial” board robbed the general tex- tile strikers of all their demands. Now Ammirato raises the red scare. He carries out the instructions of William Green to attack the Communists and other militant rank and file work- ers who want control of the union placed in the hands of the rank and file. He hopes to hide the truth from the strikers by attacking Communists who distribute leaflets or the Daily Worker. Ammirato has introduced the methods of the gangster and slugger into the union. The rank and file of the dye strikers will give Ammirato a fitting answer. Ammirato cannot get away with his slugging and re@ scare tactics, which are brought into the union in order to prepare the way for another sell-out. Striking dyers! Hold your ranks solid. Unite every dye striker, regardless of his political belief, in iron unity to win the strike. Defeat all attempts to sell out the strike. De- feat the employers’ “impartial” boards. Strike until every demand is won. Take control of the strike into your own hands—into the hands of the rank and file. Dealings With Tammany ESTERDAY’S Daily Forward, Socialist newspaper, contains a revealing sample of the kind of political arguments which the editors of leading Socialist papers will employ to block the united front of the working class, The Forward seizes with glee upon the item printed in the Daily Worker of Oct. 25 reporting that the Negro worker, Oscar Meyers, Communist Party candidate for Assembly, has received the endorsement of the Frederick Douglass Colored Fusion Club and the United Colored Democratic Club. See, cries the Forward, with what people the Communist Party forms united fronts, with Tam- many crooks. And, the Forward adds, is this not @ prelude to a united front of the Communist Party with Tammany everywhere? The Communists, they say, blame us when we even talk to capitalist par- ties. But as for themselves they are making Union Square a happy place for Communism and Tam- many to lie down together. Is there a worker who will not see the trickery of this kind of argument? Is there a worker who will not see that it is a victory for the workers when Negro workers who still are under the in- fluence of the capitalist parties miake a step toward breaking away from these parties by endorsing a Communist fellow worker whom they know and trust? Is this an alliance with Tammany? On the con- trary, it is one of the best ways to fight Tammany and break its influence upon the workers. It is pre- cisely these workers in the eapitalist clubs whom we must win to our side. Does the Forward fight Tammany? On the contrary, it hails the action of the Socialist officials in the International Ladies Garment Workers Union who have officially stpported the Wall Street-Tammany agent Lehman! They endorse the banker Lehman; Negro workers in a demo- cratic and Fusion Club endorse a Communist. There is some difference, gentlemen of the For- ward. The Forwavds bewails the fact that we attack their policy of “talking” with capitalist parties. But this is the class policy of Social-Democracy, to enter into coalitions with the capitalist parties to help preserve capitalism. The united front of all workers, regardless of Political affiliation—for the common fight against capitalism—that is the Comtnunist Party stand. No &neers or misrepresentation will stop it. issue of the Jewish < The S.P. and Bankers F ANYTHING brought out into the open the brazen alliance of the Roosevelt government with the most ruthless sec- tions of Wall Street finance capital it was the recent Bankers’ Convention in Wash- ington, Neither Roosevelt nor the bankers made any bones about the fact that Roosevelt's policies are the policies which are accepted by the Morgans, Rockefellers, du Ponts, and the rest of the Wall Street monopolies. But what does the Socialist Party have to say about this open alignment of Roosevelt with the Wall Street banks? Does it flay Roosevelt as the tool of the country’s most powerful capitalists? Does it call upon the working class to fight against this Wall Street agent in the White House, against the whole fraud of capitalist democracy which is really nothing but the hidden rule of the Wall Street banks? On the contrary, the New Leader this takes up the hue and cry of every capitalist sheet which is interested in hiding from the people that Roosevelt and the Wall Street banks are one and the same group. week The New Leader comments on the Convention as follows: Bankers’ “At other times and under other conditions the bankers would feel perfectly at home fn the nation’s capital. But in these precarious times the big bankers seem to be doubtful whether Wash- ington will take them into its bosom or ‘drive the money changers out of the temple’.” Could Roosevelt ask for a more perfect piece of capitalist demagogy to give the idea that his pro- gram is something different from the program of the banks? |OTICE the argument: before Roosevelt the bank- ers really controlled Washington, but now, under the New Deal the bankers don’t know where they stand! Thus, says the New Leader, the Roosevelt gov- ernment, the capitalist state is no longer what Marx described all capitalist governments to be—the “engine of the oppression of capital over labor.” The Roosevelt government, in short, is an “impartial” government whom the Wall Street banks are afraid of, says the New Leader. Does this not perform the function of tying the working class to the chatiot of the Roosevelt capitalist government, the most cunning and ruth- less tool of Wall Street which the country has ever seen? Does this not blind the masses to the class char- acter of the Roosevelt government, its servility to the Wall Street monopolies and banks? Does this not actually help the Wall Street banks to continue their deception of the masses, their dictatorship over the masses which they hide behind the frauds and swindles of capitalist demo- cracy? In the elections, the Communist Party proclaims that every act of Roosevelt shows him to be the agent and tool of the Wall Street banks and monop- olies, that all his policies, without exception are policies in the interests of the big industrialists and banks, Against this social-fascist sugar-coating of the Roosevelt-capitalist alliance with the banks! Fight the Roosevelt New Deal as the Wall Street Program! Class against class! Vote Communist! A New Naval Race HE preliminary naval conference in London, involving Britain, Japan and the United States, is on the point of col- lapse. The race for naval arms has reached such an extreme pitch that no broad treaty camouflage can be designed to cover the open drive to war. It must be emphasized here that not one of these powers waited for the conference to rush its naval arms building program. The Roosevelt government has been most outstanding in this respect, provid- ing for the construction of 130 war vessels, utilizing funds that should go to the relief for the unemployed to prepare for war. The results of the London con- ference will be only still more intensified battle-ship construction. The Japanese delegation ieft Tokyo with a defi- nite program. That program provided for full naval arms equality, the abrogation of the 1930 London naval treaty, and the re-shifting of its war alliances. British imperialism, on the basis of its growing con- flicts with Wall Street, has thrown a good portion of its weight to the Japanese naval program. The Japanese have already made a military alliance against the Soviet Union with Fascist Germany. There is not the slightest doubt that the British and Japanese are trying to utilize the main cement- ing force, a united war against the Soviet Union, as the chief basis for arriving at an agreement. At the same time the bitter imperialist conflicts arising from the desire of the United States, Great Britain and Japan to dominate the Pacific, hampers agreement. But there is one thing certain: both their own bitter antagonisms and their mutual desire to crush the Soviet Union drive them into an armaments race. A recent report of the Foreign Policy Association shows that all of the imperialist powers are rapidly exceeding the war expenditures of 1914, the year of the outbreak of the last imperialist world war. The naval arms conference will be a point of departure for more rapid arms construction. The masses of all of the imperialist powers involved will be squeezed lower, relief will be cut more drastically, to provide the swollen budgets for building war ships, The Communist Party urges the masses to rally their forces for a revolutionary struggle against war. We urge the workers to begin by voting Com- munist as an expression of their opposition to Roose+ velt’s war program. Join the Communist Party 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N. Y.

Bulletin “OVER THE TOP” | Reviewed by | | JACK CLIFFORD | |""HE New York District of the | | Young Communist League last | jmonth decided to issue a district bulletin called “Over the Top” to aid the membership during the re- cruiting campaign now going on. | | The methods to be employed were | by having articles on methods of | recruiting, reports on recruiting, | | experiences, discussions, | Since then the district has de- | cided to make the bulletin a per-| manent publication, which would | |not only embrace the recruiting ; campaign, but would discuss ALL | questions of interest to the League | jmem bers. Organizational prob- | |lems, agitational and propagandist | | problems, questions on the united | front, how to work in bourgeois or- ganizations, factories. The bulletin is also to be a method for political | discussions, changes of experiences and opinions in our activities. In short, the bulletin would be the medium through which the com- rades in the District could keep in close touch with events, activities and the methods to be employed in new stuations, | Two issues of this named “Over the Top,” ready been issued. The first was issued immediately after the deci- sion, the second two weeks later (last week). The plan is to have the bulletin issued bi-weekly. The first issue had all the Pages (4) mimeographed except the first, which Was rotographed. The sec- ond issue (5 pages) was completely rotographed, thus immensely im- | proving its appearance, ! The first issue of the bulletin has a three-quarter page article on the election campaign, in which LaGuardia’s hunger administra- tion is linked up with the Roose- | velt (capitalist) regime. It Says, in | part, “The greatest energy must be exerted by all fractions and in- | dividuals to bring the election cam- | paign into the shops, to the strik- | ing workers on the picket lines,” | and part of the last Paragraph, “In , reaching out among the masses of | youth throughout the election cam- paign we shall find that not only will our candidates be elected, but we shall be able to swell the ranks of the Young Communist League | membersh) with a revolutionary | body of young workers.” What is forgotten is to mention the students and unemployed. Presumably, it is taken for granted that our com- rades would know this. Bip | bulletin, have al- HAT the second issue fails to do is to follow up with concrete directives on how our membership should carry the election campaign to the youth. The second issue devotes most of its space to the recruiting drive, having on its front page a state- ment of the district executive com- mittee on the drive, which gives some clear cut directives which are followed up in the other articles more in detail. Cite anes y eee are several thoroughly per- manent features in “Over the Top.” Ali of them should be read | by all our members, as they are of invaluable aid and information. These include: 1—Union work. The first issue | discussed unions as a base for Y.| Cc. L. recruiting, the second dis- cusses our activities and weaknesses in the recent bathrobe, knitgoods and other strikes led by revolution- ary unions. Future issues will dis- cuss our activities in all unions in all its phases. 2—Shop papers, street papers, leaflets, etc. This is to be a series of articles on the importance of such work, explaining the methods used in issuing them, financing them. There will also be reviews of such papers issued by various street and shop units. The first article points out the importance and effectiveness of shop papers. The second shows how many young workers can be reached, in com- parison with our revolutionary press. 3—Another permanent feature is on literature. The first issue ex- plained the importance of the Young Worker. The second article tells of the latest pamphlets on youth, and the importance of read- ing them and the latest issue of the International of Youth. Neither of the two issues have any theoretical articles, articles on the united front, and articles on other questions, This is a serious shortcoming, which is partly ex- plained by the fact that there were no funds, and therefore not enough pages. Another feature which has not as yet been started is corre- spondence. This is very important. All comrades should write in their experiences in carrying out activi- ties, -also they must mention re- sults, difficulties, etc. This will help in not duplicating mistakes, and. teaching other members les- sons which have already been learned. This is not a bulletin for League members only. Party members and sympathizers can learn much about the problems of the Y. C. L. and how they are overcome. Other dis- tricts will find that such a bulletin will help activize and educate the membership. Coup by Stahremberg Threatens in Austria VIENNA, Oct. 31,—Not daring to publish the names of the represen- tatives to the new Parliament, which opens tomorrow, the reac- tionary Schussnigg Government will face as a matter of hours the possibility of being overthrown by the military fascist clique of Prince Stahremberg’s Heimwehr. The Heimwehr chiefs have declared they will seize power if tomorrow's parliament contains any member of the Catholic Trade Unions, or any group except their own forces.

As swiftly and as solidly as the international working class can halt the executioners by its united action, as little of the blood of the heroic Spanish prole- tariat will be shed by the Spanish government, He strikes with double strength who strikes quickly—the force of this old maxim especially in this situation can be doubted by no one. Bearing this in mind, the Executive Committee of the Communist Inter- national hastened to direct, without a moment's delay, a proposal to the leadership of the Second Interna- tional that the Socialist and Labor International, together with the Communist International, enter upon “immediate united action, as well for the support of the fight- ing Spanish proletariat as for the struggle against the support of the Lerroux regime by other capitalist countries.” It is precisely this im- mediate urgency of the practical ac- complishment of united action on the part of the whole international proletariat which prompted this in- stant proposal of the leadership of the Comintern despite the fact that directly or indirectly most sec- tions of the Second International carry on a policy of class-collabora- tion with their own goyernments. In taking this step toward the es- tablishment of united action, the leadership of the Communist Inter- national did not allow itself to be hindered by the fact that in a group of capitalist countries the leader- ships of sections of the Second In- ternational, as the ruling parties, di- rectly protect the interests of their own bourgeoisie (as in Sweden or Denmark), or are now preparing to take over the reins of administra- tion, as the leadership of the British Labor Party is doing in Great Britain. Nor was it any hindrance for the Communist International that a few weeks ago in a bourgeois provincial French sheet (“Petit Provencal” of Sept. 23), the chair- man of the Second International, Emile Vandervelde, bragged: “In spite. of all the events in France and the effect which. they had on the national crisis in Bel- gium, so far as unity of action with the Communists was concerned, the Belgian Labor Party placed itself on the-same-stand- of -absolute- re- fusal as the Socialists of Holland, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Den- mark and Sweden.” Also, the concrete platform of united action for the support of the Spanish proletariat, which the representatives of the Comintern, Comrades Cachin and Thorez, handed to the representatives of the Sccialist and Labor Interna- tional, Vandervelde and Frederick Adler, was an extremely modest one: The immediate organization of mass united action and demon- strations, common proposals di- rected to international trade union organizations for the united pre- vention of any transporting of treops and arms to the Lerroux regime, an identical position of the Communist and Socialist Parties in convoking parliaments for the launching of protests against the extermination of the fighting proletariat of Spain, the $ immediate gathering of material aid for the Spanish proletariat and the victims of monarchist~ fascist persecution—every one of these minimum proposals spring from the most elementary feel- ings of duty on the part of inter- national proletarian solidarity. The representatives of the Com- munist International had made pro- posals which would willingly be em- braced by any proletarian possess- ing the smallest amount of class consciousness. All these proposals are altogether consistent with those bourgeois democratic principles which the Socialist Parties recog- nize. Never before had the Commu- nist International proposed that the Second International, as a unit and in sections, join in solidarity with these methods of struggle for the protection of the “democratic” right of freedom, which a great part of the Spanish Social-Democracy, to- gether with the Communists, had employed during the general strike and in armed battle. . . . IMPLE, elementary methods of struggle had been proposed in the interests of the international solidarity of the working class, methods which even in its golden period of outright bourgeois democ- racy every Socialist Party had used without hesitation, so long as it was merely a question of protecting hunted evolutionists, preventing executions in order to save the lives of those fighting for freedom. It must be understood that in cer- tain circles of various Social-Demo- cratic Parties this step of the Com- munist International for the imme- diate organization of actions of soli- darity for the Spanish proletariat was heartily welcomed. Not a doubt can be entertained that many hon- est Social-Democrats were dissat- isfied that the party convention of the influential Labor Party in Southport, meeting at the time of the bloody attack of the counter- revolution in Spain, limited its soli- darity with the Spanish workers to a resolution couched in the most abstract, platonic phraseology and that the newly-elected Executive Committee of this party had set it- self the modest task of “observing the course of events and considering steps for the support of our com- rades.” No less is the dissatisfaction of these left Social-Democratic circles to be doubted when we learn that these modest words were effaced by, even more modest actions, so that finally the activity of the Executive Committee of the Labor Party shrunk to “observing the course of events.” The provisional reply of the Ex- ecutive Committee and Secretary of the Second International, which has | @ always raised the pretension that it desired to be looked upon as an in- ternational association of working class parties, certainly was in no way the answer of one workers’ party to another workers’ party when the problem is one of estab- lishing unity of action in favor of a united, fighting heroic working class. Even before the méeting of the representatives of the C.I, and S.L.I. the Trade Union Committee of the S.LI, published an appeal which, far from rendering united action in ‘behalf of the Spanish proletariat more smooth, aggravated the the difficulties of effecting such action. In this appeal it is stated: “The organization of united in- ternational action by the working class, after the tragic history of the last decade, is a heavy prob- Jem, a problem which is on the order of the day for the Novem- ber agenda of the Socialist and Labor International, Experiences in France have indicated that in order to fulfill all the conditions for the success of united action the negotiations must take a long time, And in the international sphere the difficulties of overcom- ing great differences are naturally ee than in individual coun- tries.” (To be continued) Mobilization Decrees Are Issued in Poland WARSAW, Oct. 31—With the opening of the “parliament” of the fascist Polish Government only a few days off, three decrees were hurriedly issued for the purpose of mobilizing the entire population at the service of the country’s war- machine, The first two decrees makes liable for war-service, auxiliary training and even for peace-time training on demand of the Govern- ment, all citizens, men and women, between the ages of 17 and 60. Re- sistance is punishable by imprison- ment and fine. A clause in the second decree makes legal all gov- ernment seizure of any property or implements usable in time of war owned by the citizens. The last decree classifies as es- pionage the printing or transmis- sion of any matter or ideas con- cerning the political, diplomatic or economic situation in Poland. This prevents the press in the country from printing ‘almost any news about domestic. events. Mexico Starts Inquiry On Church Activities MEXICO CITY, Oct. 31.—An in- vestigation was begun this after- noon of the underground anti- feudal reactionary activities of the corrupt Mexican clergy. The Su- preme Court delivered a shattering blow at the power of the Church not only by an order to confiis- ¢ate all church property but by making state property any pri- vately owned building in which ceremonies of any kind are con- jucted. President Rodriguez, in the letter containing the charges preferred against the church, accused the clergy of “following its persistent historical attitude of trying to combat all advanced principles.” YETTA LAND TO SPEAK CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 31.—A mass meeting observing the seventeenth anniversary of the Bolshevik Rev- olution will be held here at Bandi Hall, 1208 Belden Avenue, N, E., on Sunday with Yetta Land, Commu- nist candidate for Attorney Gen- eral as the principal speaker. I! World Front HARRY ee GANNES —— War Expenditures In 1913 and 1934 A Few Corrections URVEYING government ex- penditures for war pur- poses throughout the world, the Foreign Policy Associa- tion has issued a report declar- ing that the leading powers have now far exceeded their preparations for war over 1913, on | the eve of the last imperialist world war. In its report, “The Increasing Burden of Armaments,” the F.P.A, |has massed together figures and |facts published by the various gov- ernments on their war budgets. However, no effort was made, de- spite the great value of this com- pilation, to distinguish class forces or imperialist aims, as well as to delve behind the lying budget fig- ures and give a truer picture of the actual ex’ent of war preparations, For example, in dealing with the United States, the F. P. A. very feebly attempts to show to what extent the Roosevelt regime has increased war expendi‘ures over its predecessor, the Hoover govern- ment. ‘The report states that a total of over $800,000,000 was provided for war purposes. Seymour Waldman, Daily Worker Washington correspondent, after carefully searching all government expenditures and appropriations, listed in detail war expenditures (direct and indirect) by the Roose- velt government of over $2,000,- * * * ASED on official figures, the F. P. A. publishes the following comparative war expenditures of the big powers in 1913 and 1934: (In Millions) 9) France . Italy Great Britain . 11.2 pounds United States 244.6 dollars Japan ... 191.8 yen (In Millions) 1934 Increase - 2,273.8 francs 25.8 Italy 1171.6 lira 26.3 U.S. A. . 1149 pounds 48,8 G. Britain.. 711.5 dollars 190.9 Japan. + 935.9 yen 388. So far as Germany is concerned, the report states: “Despite the drastic restrictions imposed by the Versailles Treaty, Germany’s 1934- 1935 military, naval and air outlays are only 23.3 per cent less than the total cost of the great imperial army and navy in 1913.” Though the same report further on expresses mild doubis of the of. ficial Nazi figures, saying “Uno cial reports have spoken in less lomatic language of industrial «: military activities which point °o armament preparations on a large scale.” BLS 'HE fact is that the whole Nazi budget bristles with concealed war expenditures that if carefully examined would lift the total for war expenditures far above that of the Kaiser’s government in 1913. It is no accident whatever that Japan and the United States lead the list in war preparations over the year 1913, Japan's main ob- jective is war against the Soviet Union. American imperialism is Preparing for a war of new colonial plunder in Latin America, and especially in the Far East, where its interests are not entirely in con flict with Japan so far as the ob~ jective of smashing the workers’ fatherland is concerned. The main bone of contention is who shall profit most by it, and how will it affect the struggle for the control ‘of China. RN ae F. the figures published by the Daily Worker Washington Bu- reau are compared to U. S. war ex= penditures in 1913 (and these fig- ures are far more accurate than those of the F. P. A. report) it will be seen that the New Deal expendi- tures are neck and neck with Japan, or over 300 per cent greater than in 1913! With iis counting house impar- tiality, the F. P. A. lists the Soviet Union along with the capitalist powers on the question of expendi- tires for the army and other de- fensive forces of the workers’ fa‘herland. ad eee HILE the capitalist countries, confronted with a growing gen- eral crisis, are attempting to ex- plode themselves out of it by a new criminal imperialist war, the Soviet Union is sweeping ahead with So- cialis: construction. The Soviet Union does not desire and does not need one inch of foreign territory or markets or spheres of invest- ment. While every capitalist power thirsts after new colonies and markets, as Hitler’s butchers thirst for Erns; Thaelmann’s blood, the Soviet Union goes to the extent of Selling the Chinese Eastern Rail- way, which the Japanese militarists were ready to seize through war, Every move of the Soviet Union on the field of international poli ics is for peace. The Red Army is the army of the defense of the prole= tarian revolution and cannot be mentioned in the same breath with the war machine of finance capital, The danger of war does not lie only in the figures of war expendi« iures, as the F. P. A. emphasizes, but in the whole policy of imperiale ism—imperialism entering the stage of fascist reaction and further de- cay, confronted with the rising forces of proletarian revolution.
