The Ame: Youth Congress, | which was originally called last | August by Viola Tima and her so- |} called “Central Bureau for Young América,” after she visited several | high Nazi officials in Germany and held conferences with high govern- ment officials here, was supposed to unite the youth behind a program | of forced labor camps for all youth, apprenticeships of from one to five years, with little pay, and oppDosi- | tion to all radicai crganizations. . The united front of liberal and vadieal organizations, representi: 1,700,000 youth, defeated Viola’s fa: cist plans and united on a program -which includes struggle against war and fascism and replacement of transient and C.

The latest is the editorial in the Progré Miner of Dec. 7, 1934, on the earst Call to Action,” which, by the w calls for the or- ganization of fascist bands. Afraid that some of the members of the Progressive Miners did not see the Hearst press, the editors of the Progres: Miner reprint much f the Hearst filth. At the same , they tell of the-anti-working class record of Hearst—then con- tinue to agree with the same Hearst. uch are the editorials of these saviors of the coal miners.” After columns of quotations from he Hearst attack, e Progressive Miner goes on to say, “We do not publish these quotations from the Hearst article with the intention of denying or disputing a single or solitary statement. Mr. Hearst must be given credit for way all and ve and straightforwardness. sa: Now Hearst “Fascism definitely a movement to oppose and offset Communism and prevent the least capable and the least creditable classes from getting con- | trol of the government.” Things began to get clear. The fight in the world is between Fas- cism and Communism, between the is workers and the bosses. Govern- ments are class governments, Even the Progr Miners officials know that the Horner government uses troops and police against the miners. The same is true of the other states and the Federal gove, ernment. On the other hand, in Russia the workers control the government. They got rid of the boss class. Many books, articles, pamphlets are re- corder on this question. The writer also spent some time there. Even Hearst says this. “The least capable and the least creditable” class would take over the govern- ment under Communism.” Hearst thought the same during the gen- eral strike in California. He used his papers against the same “less creditable class’—-the working class. Workers Have Proved Ability We do not -have to argue which is the “least creditable class.” The wise” or “smart” boss class runs the capitalist countries where mil- lions are unemployed. The “less creditable class’ in Russia has abolished unemployment. In America the police shoot and kill strikers. Tom Mooney is.in jail. The Scottsboro boys and Angelo Hern- don are fighting for their lives. Negroes are lynched. But in Russia there are no Tom Mooney, or Scottsboro cases. No police kill or 600 Planes Asked | In War Program (Continued from Page 1) and three years.” Connecticns Are Cited Dern’s comments on the National Guard illustrate how closely the with its war duties.

To those who bring up the argument of humane- ness in the executions, we can test reply with the words of Karl Radek: “Our humanensss and our love of mankind con- sist in our preferring to have several tens or even hundreds of White Guard scoundr=is shot if neces- sary rather then to have millions of workers and peacants suffer.” Karl Marx, on the occasion of the Paris Com- mune, voiced similar sentiments. He declared that the Commune, which was later drowned in the | blood of tens of thousands of its defenders, erred. férce for peace, and ruthlessly executes a score or * a hundred of the criminal agents of capitalism in order to heip its policy of peace and the advance- ment of the well-being of 170,000,000 -people in the Land of Socieiism, and to speed the revolutionary developments throughout the world. The American workers, who suffer the clubbing, bayonetting and machine-gun fire of the rich para- sites, the Morgans, Fords, du Ponts and Rockefel- Jers, who during the past year have seen 60 of their fellow workers shot down here in cold blood during strikes for a little bit more bread, will understand and applaud this ruthless dealing with the work- ers’ enemies by the workers in the Soviet Union. If in this country the workers gained power, they would not for a moment hesitate to send to oblivion scores of agents of the Morgans and Rockefellers and Fords if they attempted by assassination, ter- ror and sabotage to bring back the days of hunger and starvation of rotten capitalism F; rankfeld F ight Pushed Newtons Face Gorman Admits Drive || For Company Union | But He Plans No Fight | At a three-day meeting of the National Executive Couneil of the United Textile Workers of America, concluded Friday in New York, Francis J.

After hearing of wholesale dis- || crimination. against union mem- bers.and that the Textile Labor Relations Board was doing little to. reinstate them, the Executive Council decided “to notify the president of the situation.” Thus the Gorman leadership once more decides to do nothing to fight against blacklist and speed-up.

The dollar became “cheap” in relation to gold. Coughlin’s objective had been accomplished. But what did this do to the work- ers who had listened to him in such ardent faith? : It slashed their buying power by about twenty per cent! It cut a hole in their pay envelopes through which about one fifth of their weekly pay dropped throngh mn- seen! " For what was this magic pian of Coughlin against the “gold mas- ters?” It was the capitalist trick of inflation to raise prices and in- crease profits! The retail price of food is now 28 per cent higher than it was last year thanks to Roosevelt's N.R.A. and his devaluation program. And it was this program which Cough- lin urged upon the workers. Coughiin’s pian while he was ranting against the Wall Street monopolies actually. concealed an. attack upon the interest of the workers. in. the imierests of the Wall Street. monopolies! x What did. this “radicat” plan do.to the owners of goid -in Wall Street? It made them richer! Gold is now more valuable to its owners than at any time in the past hundred years, Coughlin had promised the _ workers that this “loos¢ning of the dollar from gold” wonld give them more buying power through their getting more of the “cheap” dollars. But how many workers got more dollars in their pay envelopes after Roosevelt had devaluated the dollar? Most workers had their paid reduced. And even if they still continued to get the same number of dollars every week, they actually had become poorer, since the same number of dollars was now worth less in goods! So that today, every worker or working class woman who feels the tightening grip of rising prices at the food counters can thank Father Conghlin 25 on of those . Who helped bring about the de- valuation of the dollar that brought it about. New Currency This is where Coughlin’s ideas on money have’ brought the workers today. Now he is going ahead with his new phase on money. Knowing that his first ideas on devaluation have not given the workers e single dollar of increased income, and that the workers are now rapidly awakening from this illusion as they see their weekly pay dwindle in buying power, Coughlin now has hatched his latest idea of “printing ten billion dollars of new currency without any intervention from the bankers,” and of sharing “profits of industry.” Both of these latest ideas of Coughlin ere nothing but the continuation of his capitalist pro- gram which began with the deva- uation robbery last year. A short. examination will show this. Supose the government prints ten billion dollars of new currency, then what? Will this give workers any- thing? On the contrary, it will be & gigantic robbery of the whole working class, and a further con- centration of power in the hands of the Wall Strest financial cliques. (At the present moment, certain Wall Street groups are fearful of such a scheme, not because it will be against their ultimate interests, but because they are afraid of the risk it involyes in arounsing “social umrest.”) Concealed Wage Cut How will these ten billion dollars get into the hands of the workers? gives is that the Government wil! spend it in a gigantic public works program.
