Party Calls Workers
to Fight Fascist Body

l
Hoover's fascist economic council
led by the president himself and the
officers of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, will carry on an unre-
lenting struggle against real unem-
ployment relief.
In this work, they already have
promise of help from the Social
ists," A. F. of L. and other labor
takers. The Communist Party is
confronted with the leadership of
the mass unemployed movements
now developing. The struggle
against the Hoover Fascists Council
has been connected by the Commu-
mist Party with a recruiting drive
TO 5000 new members.
The organization of American
capitalism in the present growing
crisis has drawn into it's vortex all
the social-fascist elements from the
American Federation of Labor down
to the Lovestone counter-revolution
lists. 1t is the task of the party,
not only to fight the ruthless blows
which will be aimed against the
American workers by the capitalists
and their agents, but to expose the
imperialist nature of the reformists.
social-democrats and the groups
parading under Communist" cloaks,
who in actuality are part of the
sooial-fascist attack on the workers.
The Hoover Green Yegge-Lamont
fascist council has already sunk its
roots into every industry in the
United States in frantic effort
to overcome the severe crisis in CAPT.
talist economy.
Realizing that the existing capt.
talist state is wholly inadequate to
handle the economic depression,
Hoover is creating a new, fascist
governmental apparatus in which
the big capitalists have open control.
In the official statement just is
sued from the White House, regard
ing the Dec. meeting of the fas-
fist group, Hoover says:
"The conference is expected 70
bring together $50 to 200 representa-
tive business men in a position to
present accurately picture of their
particular industries, and form an
exchange of views we hope to set
in motion corrective measures at
those points where obstruction may
be found.
President Hoover will open this
conference and from it may grow
some plan of a continuing organiza-
ton as the agency of contact be-
tween government and business, and
the central agency to help each line
of industry to keep in step with

will be merely an appendage to the
new fascist, capitalist grouping.
Hoover will act as the executive of
the fascist economic council, and
and attempt very little through Con-
gress in the present crisis,
The growing slump in the emper-
lallst economy in the United States,
brings out glaringly the deep con-
tradictions of the capitalist system
and the inability of the capitalist
class to solve them.
In contrast to the Five Year Plan
in the Soviet Union, with the rapid
building of socialism, with the in
creasing benefits to the mass of
workers and peasants in the Soviet
Union, the fascist development of
American capitalism brings out the
parasitic, chaotic nature of capital
list economy and its disastrous eff
fects on the entire workig class.
Growing out of the severe depres-
sion and the internal struggle of
American Imperialism - with its
drives on the standard of living OF |
the working class--comes the inten-
sification of the antagonism in the
world market. Secretary of Com
merce, the Wall Street banker, La
mont, recently declared "From
now on competition in foreign trade
is going to be the keenest we have
ever had"
