Hoover Delivers 'Buck-up' Talk
To American Delegation To
Naval Farley
REVIEWS WORLD SITUATION
America Will Seek Further Holi-
day Or Decrease In Navy
Building Expense

Washington, Jan. 7.-QF-President
Hoover gave a stirring talk today to
members of the American delegation
to the London naval conference and
their technical advisers at a white
house breakfast.
This was the chief executives last
meeting with the delegation before its
departure Thursday for the British
capital and it was the final gathering
Of the entire group before embarka-
ton.
Secretary Stimson, chairman Of the
delegation, said after the breakfast
that Mr.. Hoover had given a buck
up talk, outlining the general Amer
lean position and lin his inimitable
way" reviewing the world situation
which led up to the conference.
The secretary said the meeting
showed no differences of opinion
among the group and that they would
carry on as a unit. It also was agreed
that Mr.. Stimson would be the sole
spokesman for the delegation at Lon
don.
Introduces UelegatcS
Immediately after the breakfast
the president and delegates posed for
photographs and MI. Stimson subse-
quently gave this farewell message to
the American public through talking
moving pictures:
II have pleasure In introducing the
members of the American delegation
to the conference On naval arma-
ments soon to be held in London.
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams. the Sec
rotary of the navy; Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas.
leader of the senate; Senator David
A. Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania;
and Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow.
1.-THE other two members OF the
delegation will join us in London.
Ambassador Charles G. Dawes is
there now, and Ambassador Hugh s.
Gibson will proceed from Brussels to
London.
Increased Security
Eight years ago a treaty was
signed in Washington which ended
the possibilities Of competitive build
ing Of b~attleships between the United
States, Great Britain, France. Italy
and Japan. Since then except for
ships then being designed, not a new
battleship has been built In the world.
During this period Of holiday from
battleship building . far greater sense
OF security has prevailed than existed
Immediately before that treaty. With
that sense Of security there has been
a marked reduction in those tnterna-
tional irritations which inevitably ac-
company competitive naval building.
We have now come to the time
when, under that Warrington treaty.
battelship building Is about to begin
again not competitive building but
mutually agreed on building.
"Yet It will be expensive building
and It therefore seems . most oppo1-
tune time for the United States to
meet with these same powers to see Il
we csunok still further delay or de-
crease expenses cf the battleship

Against USSR

A cable dispatch Tuesday from
Bucharest, Rumania, to the New
York Sun by its special correspon-
dent, F. P. Stevens, tells of the
strengtheniEs Of the anti-Soviet
front by British imperialism in
preparation for wac On the U. S.
S. r.
English assistance is desired for
Rumanian protection against Boil
shevism," Stevens cabled. "It is no
secret that England maintains an
important anti-Soviet secret service
organization in Bucharest, having
transported it from Riga. Close
cooperation between this and the
Rumanian service is said to have
existed for many months.
During this correspondents visit
to Bessarabia week ago thcfe was
no reticence whatever relative to
the important movement of seeking
second Trotsky to turn things up
side down."
Stevens tells of British fleet
which visited Rumania as part of
the anti-Soviet war preparations.

REVEALS FRENCH
WAR MANEUvERS
Mediterranean Fleet
Strengthened

In an article printed in the most
recent issue of the Journal des De-
bats, the noted French naval expert,
Rene Labruyere, reveals an impor-
tant aspect of the feverish war
between France and
Italy. The article brings out the
fact that the French Ministry of
Marine was engaged in a general
scheme for strengthening the
French position in the Mediterran-
can.
After an extensive maneuver and
review, according to the article, the
full Mediterranean fleet has reas-
sembled at Toulon, the most impor-
tant naval base in southern France,
with "all units intent upon their
war tasks" This last phrase
amounts to saying to Mussolini,
"We are all ready, come and fight
it out!" The war danger between
France and Italy, which is one of
the sharpest expressions of contra
dictions between the imperialist
powers, is much more imminent
than generally realized.

Issue Call For
Init Youth Day
.OnSebtembey7 7

MOSCOW UP.SD.-The Central
Committee of the Young Commu-
mist League of the Soviet Union has
sent a circular to all its subordinate
organizations instructing them to
prepare for the Sixteenth Interna-
tional Day of Youth on September
7. The chief task of the day will
be the exposure of the treachery of
the social democracy.
The Central Committee points out
that the achievements of the League
in the work of building u psocialism
have been tremendous and places
a further series of tasks for imme-
diate performance, above all the en-
lightenment of the broad masses of
the working class concerning the
decisions of the Sixteenth Congress
of the Communist Party of the Sow
let Union. Mass demonstrations of
the working class and peasant youth
must take place throughout the Sow
let Union on the International Day
of Youth on September Z.

Unemployment Big

Wages Being Cut
Mt. Vermont, Wash,

Mt. vermont, WASH.
Daily Worker:
The unemployment situation is
very bad here. Log camps are
closed and saw mills are either
closed or on part time.
Wages have been reduced in some
mills to % cents per hour. Prices
for dairy products are down Is to
20 per cent for the producers.
An unusually heavy crop of cher
ries must be marketed with cut
of 80 per cent in the price. Some
varieties of the cherries the can
merry interest would not buy at all
this year and the fruit is rotting
on the trees although in the cities
close by the workers are unable to
buy fruit of this kind.
A local vegetable cannery sent
out word they would employ an ad-
ditional 60 workers and 10 times
that number applied the next morn
ing, although this is not so bad as
in the cities l guess. The report
went out that Stone Webster pow
er project would employ some more
workers and the workers came in
at the rate of 500 per day in tin
lizzies and all kinds of ways to find
out the report was a fake and no
jobs for anyone.

CUT WAGES At
BUDD MFG. co.
Men Just Re turn ed
From Big Layoff
Philadelphia, Pa.

Philadelphia, Pa.
Daily WORKER
On the fourth floor in Dept. 5 the
drip molding operation, which paid
$4.30 a hundred, was cut 80 cents
a hundred. Also, on the fourth
floor, a pinch Welding operation was
cut Is per cent and the clinching
ilggs were also cut Is per cent. On
he side panel truck an additional
operation was added without in
creasing the rate (this amounts to
a wage-cut in fact).
Big Lay-off.
Four weeks ago a lay-off took
place for the whole plant, the plant
being closed from July q to July
%. On the day the plant reopened
only % per cent of the workers
were taken back. The rest were
told to come back ON August 4. A
few days before August A notices
were sent out to the workers of
Budd's not to report for work until
further notice. The workers that
are now working employed are toll
ing from to 8 hours a day, 2 to
4 days a week.
The reason for the wage-cuts is
that slight increase in production
took place. Because of this increase
the foremen sent for additional men,
but the employment department re-
fused to hire them. In order to in
crease the production without the
additional men, wage-cuts, as well
as increasing the operations and
cutting the prices on them, was re-
sorted to.
Post Fake Sign.
Before the lay-off took place, a
notice was placed on the clock which
read: 'Men don't get discouraged.
The plant has not been working
regularly, but don't get discouraged,
as things are getting better and
we'll be working full time around
the first of August. It's now past
the middle of August and the plant
is still dead. The men are begin
ming to say it was only another of
Hoover's promises. Dissatisfaction
grows among the workers daily. If
the unusual happens and there is
full days work the bosses inter-
fere and complain about every little
thing, with threats of firing.

What the Bill Provides.
The Workers Social Insurance
Bill, which the bosses fear so much
and use their best tools, the "social-
lists" and A. F. of L., to fight
against, provides for social insur-
ance for all unemployed. 1t pro-
vides a minimum weekly payment
of S25 to jobless workers, no mat
ter for what reason they are unem-
rloyed, whether due to lack of Jobs,
illness or old age.
The bill demands that the billions
set aside for war purposes by the
government Immediately be handed
over to fund for social insurance.
In order to keep up the adequate un-
employment insurance payments the
bill goes on to demand that capital
levy be made against all fortunes
of $4,000 and over; that gradu-
ated income tax be placed on in
comes of $4,000 and over. The ad-
minis,ration of the insurance fund

ers themselves, and not in those
4 of a few boss-class, fat-bellied poll
1 ticians. The bill is being widely
popularized o"iong all workers, in
4 the shops and factories and among
the ranks of the unemployed.
Communist Election Demand.
In many states, where the Com
/ munist Party is running candidates
/ in the state and congressional cleo
tions, the demand for the passage
of this bill is one of the most i'm
portant campaign issues. Tie Com
munist candidates are exposing the
real causes of unemployment under
capitalism and demanding .e i'm
mediate passage of the social insur-
ance bill. Against this, the Social
/ lists" and other capitalist parties
are attacking the Workers Social
Insurance Bill, as they want to fas-
ten the burdens of the crisis on the
backs of the workers.
Rush Sept. 1st Plans.
The Trade Union Unity League
is rushing plans nationally for a
huge demonstration on September
1st to mobilize masses of workers
from the shops, mines, factories,
mills and from the unemployed
ranks to demand social insurance.
! In Boston, where the 7. U. U. L..
and the Unemployed Councils have
called a demonstration on Septem-
ber / at 8 p. m. at the Parkman
Bandstand, Boston Commons, the
A. F. of l.. takers are attempting to
counteract this call by arranging a
'social affair.""
