BURDEN CONFR0NTS
GERMAN CONSUMER
Industry Also Feels Its Inter-
ests Will Be Sacrificed for
Farmers.
BY DIR. GUSTAV STOLPER.

BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, April 12.-The new Breuning
government has completed its program
for farm relief, comprising not only an
increase in agrarian import duties, but
also alteration Of the tariff system for
farm products.
Up to year ago Germany had for all
articles, including live stock and the
products of the soil, only fixed tariffs
calculated by weight. Within the last
year sliding scale of duties has been
introduced for wheat and rye, regu-
lated by price movement.
VIII Widen Limits.
However, the government could change
the duties at its discretion within GER
tain limits. Now these limits are to be
greatly widened. In future the govern
ment can alter the duties to the degree
1t regards as necessary and the law
merely prescribeS the prices which it
shall endeavor to achieve. The max
imum duties for barley and swine are
to be increased.
The Breuning government will as
suredly employ its new powers in hoping
to satisfy even the most radical wishes
of agriculturists. Chancellor Breuning's
hope of remaining in Office, since the
parties behind him do not possess a
majority in the Reichstag, rests solely
on the sympathies of the farmers be-
longing to the Nationalist party. AL

would rather overthrow Bruening today
than tomorrow, but the agrarian wing
Of his party desires to give the gov
eminent more time in order to enable
the minister of agriculture to carry
through his program. Hence. the
chancellor may not prevent his minister
OF agriculture from meeting the farm
erS' wishes.
Consumers Face Burden
Naturally, this purely agrarian policy
OF the cabinet means heavy burdening
OF the consumers. Still worse is the fact
that 1t endangerS GermanyS economic

tries probably will remain fruitleSs II

The countries in question WIN at least
demand the fixing of such high in
duStrial duties that German exports Of
industrial products will suffer severely.
The national organization of German
industry has protested against the new
cabinets tariff policy. although the in
duStrialiStS' attitude toward the Bruen-
ing government is not unfriendly. In

so far in meeting the demands of labor
as the previous Mueller cabinet. but it
Is unpleaSantly surprised at the fact
that its interests now are to be sacrificed
to meet the claims of the farmers.

Banker Admits Il. s. Crisis
Tied Up With World Crisis;
There Will Be No Early Letub
Steel Industry in Deep Depression; More to
Be Unemployed Soon

NEW YORK.-There won't be
any let-up in the economic crisis in
the United States, admits Francis
H. Sisson, vice-president of the
CUE :-cnty Trust Co., in a speech de-
livered here Wednesday,, until there
is change in the world crisis.
Since the facts show that the world
crisi is getting worse, the conclu-
sion from Sisson's speech is that
all talk by the bosses in this coun-
try about early Improvement is
the sheerest bunk. Sisson himself
hints this, givin: the old sour-grape
argument that it is much better if
there is no improvement now. "a
sharp revival now in this country"
says Sisson, "will only result 4
more reaction later and more de-
preston"
There is no revival now, and,
furthermore, the will be more de-
preston later. We learn from
Iron Age" organ of the big steel
bosses, that the steel industry is in
pretty bad shape, with little chance
for improvement. Iron Age" says:
Greater conservatism rules among
buyers of finished steel. More than
half of September has passed with
out bringin an appreciate gain IN
aggregate b okings. The steel in
dustry's operations, as measured by
ingot outpu', remains unchanged at
So per cent Of capacity"
What's become of all the talk
about a fall revival? All this hot
air was intended only to keep the
workers from fighting for unem-
ployment insurance. After squeez-
ing and straining for bigger pro-
duction, the main ba.', industry in
the country "remains unchanged"
Hoover tried to make much of the

FISH ADMITS
LABOR SPY PLAN
IN SPEECH WED.

NEW YORK. - Congressman
Hamilton Fish now openly admits
that one of the main purposes Of
his blouse of Representatives Com
mittee to Investigate Communism
in America" is to recommend fed
eral super labor spy system to prey
on workers.
The leading questions asked by
the Fish Committee of the profess
sional patriot, strike breaker and
police witnesses in its "investiga-
tions" had already Indicated this
and the fact was pointed out by the
Daily Worker at the time. Elihu
Roots letter to Ralph Easley, the
collaboration of Matthew Vol in the
strike breaking National Civic Fed
Grafton, complimented Easley on
getting the investigation started
and outlined just such. a secret
service as Fish now approves.
Fish stated in his speech Wednes-
day before the Reserve Officers
Association that one of the recon-
mendations of the committee when
it makes its report in December
will be to "vest the necessary pow
ers in the Department of Justice"
and to appropriate five million dol
lars for this.
Fish considered a 100000 vote
for Communism this year a GER
tainty.

The large number of successful

IN new QUARTERS
New Address Is 1850
East 18th Street

The director of the Workers
School, the central school of the
Communist Party, announced today
that the Workers School will move
to new and larger quarters, located
at 1880 E. 18th St., this coming
Monday, Sept. %. The change of
location was made necessary by the
continuous growth Of the School
and the consequent lack of space
at the old quarters, 1928 Union
Square.
The new location will afford more
and larger classrooms to accommo-
date the large numbers of workers
eager to equip themselves with the
knowledge of the theory and prac-
tice of Marxism-Leninism, for the
growing mass struggles against
capitalist exploitation.
Registration will continue at the
old School office at 26-2S Union
Square, fifth floor, until next Mon
day.

OUT OF WORK FOR
5 MONTHS; CAN'T
BURY DEAD BABY

NEW YORK.-His three-year-old
baby lying dead, John McCracken,
an unemployed roofer, is unable to
bury the child. He does not have
enough money to pay for food or
rent, and now he cannot afford to
pay for a funeral for his dead son.
McCracken has walked the streets
looking for work for over five
months. He couldn't find any. His
child was killed by an automobile
run by some parasite who had plen-
ty of dough, and which the boss
government refuses to tax, as de-
manded in the Unemployment In
surance Bill, to pay for unemploy-
ment insurance. Baby McCracken lies
in the city morgue. McCracken's
other three children were forced to
go into charity institutions to keep
from starving. This is the sanctity
of the family preserved under CAPT
talism.

ment insurance!

the way by organizing protest dem.

Party which sets aside the national
war funds to pay each jobless man

necessary stages of the struggle.
Under leadership of the Unem-

Unity League and the Communist
Party, the struggle is on for in
surance, relief, shorter work day,
strike against wage-cuts and a
fight against everything else that
increases unemployment, and, with
unemployment, evictions.
Where the Councils of Unem-
ployed have proven by their deeds
that they are ready and able to
lead the starving jobless and home
less workers, these councils have
gained enthusiastic support. The
masses must stop the turning off
