Roosevelt and his adminis- tration leaders advocated not unemployment in- surance, but unemployment “reserves” to apply only to those now at work. The question of old age and health insurance was declared to be a question for the “future.” Those members of the conference, such as Paul Douglass, member of the League for Industrial Democracy, who are close to the Socialist Party, went along fully with Rooseyelt’s policy of no in- surance for those now unemployed. Douglass, sup- porting Roosevelt, advocated workers’ contributions to pay even for the unemployment “reserves.” The speeches of the conference leaders, in fact, showed that revision of the Wagner-Lewis bill, far from benefitting the unemployed workers, will be along the lines of granting even less. The new proposals of the Roosevelt administration leaders are for work contributions to the unemployment “reserves, s the Wagner-Lewis bill, which also meant nothing to those now unemployed, pro- posed that the meagre “reserves” funds come from and the Republican Party, as outlined in Ogden Mills’ Buffalo speech are now seen to be identical in all important 2 ocated the same policy of no insurance for the unemployed but in- stead “reserves” for those now working and no federal insurance. He advocated the vicious Wis- consin la Roosevelt made clear speech to the confer- ence that he is opposed to any federal unemploy- ment or social insurance. He advocated a “federal” Jaw which will leave in the hands of the states the administration of the funds. “For the admihistra- tion of ce benefits the states are the most logical units,’ he told the conference. The funds ate to be held and invested by the federal govern- ment. The unemployment “insurance” advocated by Roosevelt is not unemployment insurance but “un- employment reserves.” This means that those now unemployed, or who become unemployed before the operation of the “unemployment reserves” plan advocated by Roosevelt, do not get any benefit out of the law. It © apply only to those at work the law begins to operate, and will leave the seven- teen m m new unemployed completely out in the a: su hen Roosevelt emphasized that his proposals do not epply to those now unemployed by declaring, “We m 0% allow this type of insurance to become a igh the mingling of insurance and relief. charity.

Thousands of these underworld thugs are in- | esting the financial and garment district, terroriz- | ing workers who are trying to organize to better their living conditions. They are armed. They carry revolvers and nightsticks in many cases, They are licensed by the Police Department of New York City to carry these guns, Why aren't these guns taken away from these strong-armed men? Why are these strikebreakers permitted to be hired with the knowledge of the public officials, to crush the movement of the building service men? Why does Police Commissioner Valentine, a La Guardia appointee, allow these thugs to get permits to carry guns? Why are the city officials of the LaGuardia administration conveniently blind to the | violation of one city ordinance after another by the | | various “detective” agencies? If the city is looking for a “legal” reason, why does it not close these agencies up even on the ground that men have been | sleeping in these offices, in direct violation of Health Department rules? From these things, the organized workers can | learn volumes as to the real character of the La Guardia administration. From this they can see that the LaGuardia who speaks honeyed words to labor on holiday occasions is an accomplice of strikebreakers when a real movement threatens even a fraction of the profits of capital. Organized labor and all its sympathizers in New | York City must demand that the Police Depart- | ment stop issuing pistol permits to the strikebreak- | ing hordes. It should demand in no uncertain | terms that Mayor LaGuardia close these vile and | sinister anti-labor nests, | Secretary of Siate Edward J. Flynn and Gov- | ernor Herbert Lehman should be told by the labor movement that the state licenses of these scab- herders must be revoked. All organized workers, of all unions, of all shades of opinion, must unite for the smashing of | these foul dives! Roosevelt Organizes New Wage its OOSEVELT has just completed a series of conferences with some of the lead- ing Wall Street industrialists in the coun- try. Among them was Lewis Brown, personal agent of J. P. Morgan in the Johns-Man- ville Corporation, manufacturers of building ma- terials. Ai the same time the United States Chamber of Commerce, which opened its sessions in Washing- ton yesterday is organizing the country’s most re- actionary industrialist groups for closer workings with the Roosevelt government in the application - of the N.R.A. and the New Deal policies, Following on Roosevelt's “unemployment insur- ance” speech the other day, in which Roosevelt pro- claimed that the welfare of the masses will have to wait on the revival of profits, these private con- ferences and negotiations between Roosevelt and the Wall Street magnates take on added signifi- cance. They mean that Roosevelt is now organizing a new series of attacks on the living standards, the wage levels and working conditions of the American working Ss in order to produce profits for the menopoli Roos t is organizing a new offensive against the masses. He has taken the mandate for the New Deal to signify that the drive against wages can go ahead. The crisis is geiting worse. The fight for profits becomes sharper. The big monopolies are whetting their teeth for new profits at the expense of the whole country. And Roosevelt is helping them to crganize their drive and is taking his orders from them as their chief representative in the govern- ment.

For our District we can say that the Central Com- mittee letter will help us greatly to achieve our quota of ten thousand dues paying members, by Lenin Memorial Day, Jan. 21, 1935. The decision of the District on a quota of ten thousand was based on a@ realistic understanding of the possibilities for recruiting; but when we examine the tempo of growth of our Party, we see that while we have a steady g:owth in member- ship, as well as an increase in the weekly rate of recruiting, yet this increase did no’ develop to such pro- portions that would assure us of the fulfilment of our quota. In June, 1933, before the Open Letter, our dues paying member- ship was 4,028. On October 20,1934, our membership grew to 6,445,—an increase of 2,417. During this period we recruited on the following weekly average: From June 1933 to March (the time of our Party Convention) 2,559 or 62 and a half per week.” From March to, the end of August, 2,136 o> 107 per week From August to October 20th. 906 or 129 per week, We see here that we steadily in- creased our membership as: well as the weekly rate of recruiting; : out we also see that we almost doubled the recruiting rate after the Con- vention to. September, that in the last peiod from September up until October 20th, the increase is only 22 per week. Instead of tripling the weekly rate, we lessened our tempo, precisely at a time of great strike of the Hunger March, the Anti-War Congress and the Election Campaign, etc. Certainly the election results prove that if we were really conscious of ‘his task a much greater recruiting would be the result. This situation should be and can be corrected immediately. The Cen- tral Committee letter should not re- main merely another document, but. must become a powerful factor in our every day work for the building |of our Party. Section Committees, units and fractions, as well as every individual Party member should see to it that everyone in the Party is activized on recruiting. Trade union frac- tions that did not yet develop the Drive should at once plan and call open fraction meetings and prepare for mass recruiting. The same holds true for fractions in fraternal | organizations, women’s societies, clubs, language and all other or- ganizations. The fact that most of the sections and fractions so far | failed to submit their plans as well as their experiences to the District |up until now, shows that most of our |leading bodies are not proceeding with necessary momentum or politi- cal consciousness. Each Party mem- ber should take the initiative when- ever the leadership is lax and de- mand immediately an open mass fraction meeting, fo> recruiting. Special attention should be given by the Sections to the basic concen- tration industries. The percentage, at present, of workers from basic in- dustries is about 10 per cent. Greater efforts must therefore be made to recruit among the Marine, Metal, Traction, Taxi and Railroad Work- ers. Our objective should be to at least triple this percentage. The Section Committees and leading fractions must take personal respon- sibility for recruiting from these basic industries, laying pazticular stress on recruiting from A, F, of L, unions. Negro recruiting must be given serious attention throughout. the Drive. At present the percentage of |Negro Comrades in our Party is about 6 per cent. This ceriainiy | does not correspond in any degree | to the influence of our Party among the Negro masses, Negro recruiting should not be relegated to the Har- lem and Ozown Heights sections. The entire Party must develop the most intensive drive for Negro re- cruiting. Especially should the shop nuclei and trade union fractions recruit Negro workers from the shops. The shop conferences decided upon, as well as the conferences of fraction secretaries, to discuss planned recruiting, were not held in most of the sections. In the coming |week all these conferences and functionaries meetings should be held, and recruiting planned and started in the shops and fractions. Units and fractions should at this time check on their plans, again |discuss the Central Committee letter and above all activize every indi- vidual Party member as proposed by the Central Committee. When we look at the figures of fluctuation, we learn some alarm- ing facts. We see that at the time of the Open Letter our member- | tions, youth, Negro, professional, women and veter- i i ans’ organizations, It should be taken into the Rana ede Me ak gen dy branches of the Socialist and Farmer-Labor Parties, (5,601, This should give us a mem- bership ‘of 9,629, almost our full quota. Our membe:ship on that date was, as stated, 6,445, showing 2 loss during sixteen months of 3,184. This shows: 1, that the inner life of our units is still politically peor and fails to hoid these new memhors, That we do not take sufficient in- terest and we do not follow up their participaticn in our work. 3, We do not even notic2 the drovsing out of these new members and we do not make any efforts to bring them back. As we take up recruiting we must engage with even greater intensity in a campaign to bring these com- rades back. Evety unit, every frac- tion should make a real search for and bring them back into our ranks. What is most important is to really improve the pelitical content of cur unit and fraction .meetings. This improve- ment will be the greatest factor in the building and impzoving of our ‘party.

That decrepit old man Doumergue was called back to Paris to save France from civil war; he was called to inaugurate a@ reign of terror against the toil- ing masses of France. He was sup- ported in this undertaking by the right wing of the political parties, which parties had as accessories the different fascist leagues which killed about 17 workers in the streets of Paris and elsewhere in France. He also had the support of the neo- Socialists and the Radical-Socialist Party. The capitalist class and its lieutenants did not reckon with the class-consciousness of the French proletariat. They thought it would be very easy to introduce a fascist government—but to their astonish- ment something happened, The French proletariat.said: We must unite in one mighty united front to crush fascism, and since February 12, 1934, not a day passed withouy some united front action of the So- cialists and Communists. Then came the proposed reforms of Doumergue - Tardieu - Marquet, and amidst all this, the cantonal elections and the Radical-Socialist congress at Nantes. The result of the cantonal elections caused some heavy losses to the Radical-Social- ists. It was a warning from the rank and file of their party. Again at the Nantes congress the warning became more pronounced and more vigorous. Herriot and Co. had to decide between the forces of fas- cism and the demands of the mis- guided rank and file of his party who would have no more of his piffle. The rank and file and the militant, Radical-Socialists demand- ed'at the congress: (1) That their party caese cooperating with the National Union which, under cover of a truce, the fascist bands arm and drill; (2) That their party de- mand immediate dissolution and disarmament of the fascist leagues; (3) That the decree-laws which slashed ,salaries, cut pensions, bur- dened the little man with taxes and relieved the exploiters, be categori- cally condemned; (4) That the Rad- ical Party make it known that any injury brought to the rights of rep- resentation issued from universal suffrage would not be tolerated. 'HESE demands made by the mil- itant delegates at the. Nantes! congress were applauded, and then what happened? Herriot made a speech and in caucus they changed the entire thing. In their program you will not find the demands made by the rank and file delegation; you will not find the demands for]: * the dissolution of the fascist leagues. The program maintains the truce and gives “carte blanche” to the Redical-Socialist ministers. The fall of the Doumergue Cabinet 2,|might lead one to the idea that Herriot and his tand wer against Doumerguc’s reforms. If anyone thought so, and according to the renerts cf tho bourgeois papers one might have been inclined to believe so, thes? illusions have been quickly dispelled, for no sooner had Flan- din, the pro-fascist, announced the Cabinet than we found Herriot in it, in company with that arch-en- emy of the working class known to be cne of the leaders of the Fascist Leagues, Louis Marin, Georges Man- del, 2 monarchist essociated with the Cemelots du Roi (another royal- ist and fascist organization) and others of the seme branch. The political lineup,- therefore, with the new so-called truce gov- ernment is clear. On the one hand, we have the anti-Marxist front,| tion from the fascist prison, Thanks | 4 Rapidly Among the Trade Unions which consists of the right wing parties, that is from the Camelots | du Roi group to the so-called Con- servatives, Republicans U. R. D., Popular Democrats, Left Repub- licans, Independent Radicals, So- cialist Republicans and, last but not Jeast, the Radical-Socialist Party. | All these parties are intertwined with the different fascist leagues, ie., Croix de Feu, Solidarite Fran- caise, Jeunesses Patriotes, Fran- cistes, etc. The Croix de Feu (the Cross of Fire) for example, has for its program “effective action against thé anti-loyalist and anti-national- ist action of the United Front, dis- solution of the Communist Party of France, expulsion and surveillance of the foreign born who would be active in the revolutionary move- ment.” This fascist organization is armed with the aid of the army and air department. A Paris newspaper “La Lumiere” says that “we are as- sured that the Croix de Feu or- ganization has taken out an in- surance policy for all its members. Among the risks foreseen are ricts and civil war.” The paper goes on to say that “this precaution reveals the plans of De La Rocque, the leader of this fascist organization,” “And who,” esks this’ newspaper, “would finance .this operation? Would it be, as in Italy and Ger- many, the heavy artillery?” Thus we find in this camp all that is for the oppression and exploitation of the working class, oe ne | steal this anti-working class frent, we have the united front of the Socialists and Communists. One of the most significant phases in the fight against fascism and the decree-laws of the French government is the growing support of the rank and file of the Radical- Socialist Party and the middle class, the small shopkeepers, the in- tellectuals andthe white collar workers. Another important out- come of the united front is the ever-increasing formation of trade union unity among the different trade unions (the French A. F. of L. and the T. U. U. L. of France). The railway unions of the Labor Confederations are now meeting in congress session to achieve one Con- federation of Labor of the Railway Workers, This is important, for it was the railway workers of these unions who first instituted united trade unions in France. It is these again who will bring about the for- mation of one organic Confedera- | tion of Labor. To date there are in France about 350 united trade unions, i Dianne in Soviet Union Hails Fight of Bulgarian Workers Against Fascism MOSCOW, U. S. S. R—In my last speech at the Leipzig trial, when defending the Bulgarian peo- ple from the attacks of the fascist press which described them as “bar- barians,” I stated: “... , Bulgarian fascism is savage and barharous. But the Bulgarian working class and peasantry, the intellectuuls of the Bulgarian people are by no means savages and barbarians. . . .” The people which for 500 years lived under a foreign yoke without losing its language or “nationality, our working class and peasantry which have fought and are fight ing against Bulgarian fascism and for Communism—such a people is not barbarous or savage. The only sav- ages and barbarians are the fascists in Bulgaria. But I ask you, Mr. President, in what country are the fascists not barbarians and savages. . I protest against these attacks on the Bulgarian people. I have no reason to be ashamed of being a Bulger‘en. I am proud that Iam a2 son of the Bulgarian working class.” While meking this statement, at the same time I considered that my real fatherland was the Soviet Union and not fascist Bulgaria. I say “real fatherland” because as long es the country where one was born is under the power of the bourgeoisie, this country cannot be a genuine fatherland for a prole- tarian revolutionary, for a son of the woriing class. Fascist Bulgaria once more showed this by not al- lowing me to return to the couniry where I was born, though I cae ently demanded it.
