conditions prevailing widespread In
time. The automobile workers for
years were among the best paid work
ers in the United States. But re-
Gently their wages have been repeat
edly cut, they have been speeded up
enormously; unemployment has borne
down upon them; in short their form
er relatively favorable conditions have
been taken from them to such an ex-
tent that a growing spirit of re-
sistance is spreading among them,
in Canada as we'll as in the United
States. The strike of the Oshawa
workers is signal of the growing
discontent among the great masses
Of automobile workers. The auto
mobile industry has been held up, not
only in this country but all over the
world, as most decisive achieve
nent of American capitalism; as the
industry in which American capital
ism, with a formula of mass produc-
ton and high wages, had laid the
basis for contented working class.
Yet we see that under the weight OF
wage cuts, speed up, unemployment
and generally worsened conditions the
privileged automobile workers are
being forced down to such a position
that sentiment for organization and
struggle is rapidly developing among
them.
And What is true Of the automobile
workers is becoming the case in the
various other basic industries. There
the workers have been confronting
wage cuts and similar conditions. A
fighting mood develops among them.
Undoubtedly they will wage many
important struggles in the near fu-
ture.

ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
EMPLOYERS OFFENSIVE

Comrades, the United States is now
in the midst of an industrial depres-
sion. American imperialism, embar-
raised with the enormous masses of
commodities produced by millions of
super-speeded workers, is not able to
dispose of these products. The work
ers, paid only fraction of what
they produce, cannot buy them back.
The employers cannot sell them
abroad. Many industries have been
closed down. At least four million
workers are unemployed at the pres
ent time. American capitalism, with
ell its power and with all the boasts
of its defenders that it has found
the formula of continuous prosperity,
shows that it, too, is possessed of the
weaknesses, and contradictions of
capitalism in other countries. 1t also
is subject to crisis. Many signs in
dictate that we are on the eve of a
serious industrial depression.
The employers, quick to take ad-
vantage of the situation, are making
a great drive against the living and
working standards and organizations
of the workers. They aim at develop
ing a working class, docile, speeded
up, and a tool in their schemes of
world imperialism. Wage cuts have
been widespread in the industries,
especially among the armies of I'M
organized, unskilled workers. For
the moment the organized skilled
workers have mostly escaped the
wage cuts, but their turn will come
later. The employers forge ahead
with their open shop drive. Where
ever the workers resist they are con-
fronted with an unprecedented use of
the government against them, injunc-
tions, troops, gunner, etc.
Labor in Fighting Mood.
The workers are becoming increas-
ingly in fighting mood, especially
| is this true of the great masses of
semi-skilled and unskilled workers in
the basic industries who have suffer-
ed most from wage cuts, speed-up and
unemployment.
The strike of New Bedford amongst
the textile workers, the Haverill shoe
strike Of few months ago, the Os-
hswa strike among the automobile
workers, indicate their growing mil
itancy.
General Motors Strike.
Perhaps most of you have not heard
of the Oshawa strike of some four
thousand workers Of the General Mo
tors Corporation in Canada. This
strike, although small one, was
very significant and an indicator of

Fosters Acceptance Speech

sition. The first attempted answer to
the Soviet Union was that made by
the British delegation at the confer
ence where the disarmament proposal
was made. And what did the British
delegation say in substance? It was
an answer of oM-time diplomacy, an
answer of the naked iron fist. That
Great Britain does not agree with
the Soviet Unions proposals for
world peace; that she declares world
peace to be a chimera, that the pro-
posals for disarmament are impossi-
BILE, and that she intends to maintain
her armies and navies.
Race For Armaments.
This was the answer of Great Bri-
tain. But the United States, the lead
ing imperialist country in the world,
has much more skillful answer to
the Soviet Union than that. What
does America say? She says through
the mouth of Kellogg, "Let us out
law war; let US come together and
agree that there shall be no war"
And the leading capitalist countries
of the world are accepting this hypo-
critical proposal of America. What
does it all mean? 1t means simply
that under the slogan of "outlawing
war" the world imperialists will con-
tinue their race for building up their
ornaments and preparations for
world war. This deceitful hypocri-
teal slogan is thrown out to blind
the eyes of the masses, to make them
think that the capitalists are really
trying to stop war. The United
States, highly expert in fooling the
masses, has put out some clever slo-
gans for covering up its war aims.
The Kellogg proposal to "outlaw
war" which is being endorsed by re-
formists all over the world, including
the socialist parties, is perhaps the
most skillful scheme ever set afloat
since the days of Wilson's famous
slogan: that the Allies were fighting
the world war "to make the world
safe for democracy"
To expose the real meaning of Kel-
logg's proposition, to fight against
the vast war plans of the United
States, to arouse the American work
/ ing class against the militaristic pro-
gram of American imperialism, to
mobilize the workers against the war
in Nicaragua, against the whole pro-
gram of imperialist aggression in
Latin America, in China, and the
militarization of the workers in this
country--these are basic tasks Of our
Workers (Communist) Party, and
they must stand in the very fore
front of our election campaign.
Defend Soviet Union.
Especially in this connection must
we undertake to mobilize the masses
of workers in defense of the Soviet
Union. Today the Soviet Union adj
vances with giant strides. 1t is max
ing tremendous progress in building
it's industries, in establishing So
calist commonwealth in the face OF
the most tremendous difficulties. The
very existence of the Soviet Union is
menace to the capitalist order the
world over. 1t is an inspiration tc
the workers of the world, living
proof of the feasibility of the probe
tartan revolution. The capitalists OF
every country are determined to de-
stroy the Soviet Union at all costs
They want to wreck it's working elias

government and seize its great ma
tural resources. And now, under the
leadership of Great Britain and with
most active participation by the
United States, slowly, Systematically
they proceed with their mobilization
of forces. They are awaiting the OPP
perfume time to strike at the Soviet
Union with all their massed power.
Fundamental to the success of their
attack on the Soviet Union will be to
keep the worlds workers democrat
lied and inactive while the counter
revolutionary struggles are being car
ried on. The capitalists depend on
the social democratic parties of the
world, who identify the workers in.
terests with those of their respective
capitalist classes, to help them cut the
Soviet Union to pieces. In the re-
volutionary upheavals in the years
following the world war, it was the
socialist parties that beat back the
rising tide of proletarian revolt and
preserved the capitalist system in
Europe. The capitalists believe that
the socialists will once more be able
to deliver master betrayal Of the
revolution, that they can hold back
the working masses while the capital
lists deliver their carefully prepared
attack against the Soviet Union.
War On Capitalism.
But this time the imper1alists are
reckoning without their host. No
longer have the social democratic
parties their former undisputed lead
ership of the working class. In the
last few years, in all the important
countries, revolutionary Communist
parties have been built up. They have
sunk their roots deep among the mas
SEES. Under the leadership of the
Communist International they are
mobihzing their forces. The power
of this great movement constantly
grows. When the international cap
italist class, when the imperialists of
the world, assisted by their social
democratic lackeys, deem the time OPP
Fortune and strike at the Soviet
Union the blow they are now prepar-
ing, they will wake up to crushing
defeat. When that war begins, the

Communist International and the mil
lions of workers thruout Europe and
other countries that follow its lead
will not simply adopt defensive pol
icy, they will not merely seek to
withhold their government attacks
from the Soviet Union. On the con-
trary, they will put into effect the
great feminist strategy. They will
turn the i,nperialist war against the
Soviet Union into q civil war of the
workers against capitalism. They will
destroy the capitalist order and be-
gin the building of the proletarian
society. (Applause.)

"Capital, with it's autocracy, must be
curbed. Labor, with its curbed and
chained power, must be freed; and
our belief is that the way to bring
about the proper labor and economic
condition is to harness, through CO.
operative organization, labor and cap
ital into a united team of industrial
democracy, and through cooperation,
each having its own organization,
standing squarely upon it's rights,
with the provisions of arbitration,
make them work even, each pulling
its share of the burden and receiving
its full share Of the products pro-
duced, keeping in mind the public and
their respective relations to the same
! in such manner as to always keep
in sight the fact that true success de-
ponds upon equal justice and the
rights of alb classes concerned"

THE WAR DANGER

One of our principal tasks in the
coming election campaign is to arouse
the workers to the danger of a new
world war. Never was such a war
more imminent. This danger mani
tests itself from various directions.
The developing attack of the great
limperialist powers upon the Soviet
Union; the growing rivalries be-
tween the various imperialist powers
for markets and world domination,
especially between the United States
and Great Britain; the attacks on the
colonial and semi-colonial countries,
as for instance, on China and Mica
ragua at the present time (from the
audience: land Haiti"), yes, and
Haiti too, and many other countries
all these tendencies, all these devel-
opments are pregnant with the dan
ger of fresh world war. A world
war may start from any of these, and
when it does come, the previous war
will seem in comparison a pink tea
affair.
Today we confront unprecedented
preparations for war, ornaments
without parallel. Did you read in the
papers, just a day or two ago, about
the gas explosion in Hamburg, when
a supply of gas was accidentally re-
leased, poisonous enough to have
wiped out the entire people of Ham
burg? Only fortunate combination
of circumstances prevented. the gas
from going, with frightful effects,
into the most densely populated sec
tons of the city. The militarist pro-
gram that the world imperialists are
developing provides for gases, arma-
ments, instruments of war, more
deadly and upon a more gigantic
scale than ever before in the history
of the world. And the whole thing
is developing towards a climax in the
sharpening antagonists that I have
just briefly indicated.
Imperialist Armaments.
All this great massing of arn,a-
ments, these gigantic preparations for
war, are being carried out under a
marvellous camouflage Of peace. Since
the Versailles Treaty was signed we
have been treated to an almost con-
slant series of peace" conferences
disarmament" conferences, "anti-
war" conferences, whole stream OF
them. Yet at the end of all these
years the ornaments are greater thar
ever before in history and the wal
danger grows more and more immi-
nent. The latest pseudo-peace man
euver for covering up the prepare
tons for war by the imperialists orig
mates nowhere else than in the
United States. What / refer to is
the so-called Kellogg proposal to out
| law war.
1t is just few months ago since
the Soviet Union came forward with
proposition to abolish ornaments
all over the world. This created q
great sensation. Among the masses
of workers of the world the feeling
grew that only the Soviet Union was
serious in it's proposals for worlo
peace. With their militaristic pro
gram thus exposed in its nakedness
the capitalists had to do something to
counteract the Soviet Unions propo.

GAINESVILLE MAYOR GETS
$3.50 FOR FALSE ARREST

Herman Beske, president of the
GAINESVILLE village council, small vii
lage east of Mankato, was given $3.50
for malicious prosecution, the state
supreme court held in denying a new
trial in the case. Beske, as chief ex-
ecutive of the village, was notified
in the summer of 1926 to have thistles
found on the village streets, remov-
ed. When he failed to obey the order,
the county weed inspector caused his
arrest and it was for the fact he was
detained several hours by the sheriff,
that he started suit for $500 and
when the case was dropped, he was
awarded $780,.
