Lloyd George ON Tariff Reprisals

because both Canada and Australia
are members of the British Empire
and Italian Faseism is more or less
an ally of Great Britain. Despite
her clamors against the American
tariff, the French government
wants a closer impeachment with
the United States to offset British
and Italian pressure in Europe. The
imperialist world is gradually lin
ing up for another war, with the
United States and Great Britain
forming the center of the two rival
capitalist camps.

RUSH WAR PLANS; GET
4O2 MORE BOMB PLANES

WASHINGTON, July 8.--As part
of the rapid war preparations Of
the American bosses, the U. S. War
Department today ordered 402
bombing planes and 1,004 airplane
engines for war purposes. This is
just part of the big plan of war
armament, the man feature of
which is the billion dollar naval
building program which Hoover is
rushing through the Senate in
special session.

In an article on the American
tariff, printed by the Hearst pa
pers, Lloyd George referred to the
fact that Canada and Australia
have already taken effective tariff
action against the United States
and laid much stress on the posi-
bility of Italy in carrying a deci-
sive and strong tariff policy
against America while discounting
the likelihood of France doing the
same thing.
This view is rather significant

Lloyd George Admits War Danger

LONDON, July THE growing
danger of war is so obvious that
even Lloyd George, the Liberal"
leader of the British bosses, was
forced to admit the truth. Speak

Council delegates at Bournemouth,
England, Friday night, he said:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-09

peace is by no means secure.
In spite of treaties, man has not
yet given up the idea of war.
Preparations for war are going on
in every country of the world.
There are more men + ned for
war in Europe, Asia and America

ELECTION COMM.
DEMAND STREETS
II Mt. Vernon Young
Workers Tried Today

| NEW YORK.-All attempts to
smash the signature drive to put
/ Communist candidates on the bal
lot in New York state have failed
so far. In New Jersey, across the
river from New York City, such
attempts are also being made, and
are also failing.
Today, at a. m. in the city hall
in Mt. Vernon, II members of the
Young Communist League, arrested
for holding election campaign meet
ings in the streets of the city will
go on trial. Another Is have al
ready been convicted for the Of
tense of bringing a workers party
program and workers candidates
into a capitalist election.
On a number of occasions meet
ings have been broken up by the
police in this city with the cooper
alton Of the hired thugs of the local
businessmen. The response Of tbs
Negro and white workers to the
speakers of the program of the
Communist Party has caused the
local authorities to become panic
stricken.
Demand Use of Streets.
"This right of the Communists to
he use of the streets in the con-
duct of the election campo gn
activities Is being challenged by the
local authorities and fascists in the
various sections of the state of New
York and New ersey, because they
realized the growing influence OF
the Communist Party which they
are attempting to stifle," states
the New York election campaign
committee.
MANY such instances have taken
place within the last few days
Only yesterday melting of one
| thousand workers in New
Brunswick was broken up by a
fascist gang in conjunction with the
local authorities. This was done in
order to prevent activities among
the workers in the large factories
of that company town.
"In Long Island and in Harlem
we have had similar examples OF
this sort of terrorism, one of those
ending up in the death of Alfred
LeVy-a Negro worker. In the city
of Schenectady blanket order has
been given that no Communist meet
ing is to be held in this city con-
trolled by the open shop General
Electric Company.
Defense Corps.
SIN Elmira, New York, the local
authorities have refused to permit
the Communi st Party to solicit sig
natures which even the capitalist
statutes permit. The workers must
organize a movement against this
attempt to destroy our Party and
organize Workers Defense Corps
to protest the meeting against the
onslaught of the bosses thugs.
1.-THE workers of the state of New
York and New Jersey will not be
terrorized by these acts of the
bosses but will instead carry on
their election campaign activities
with renewed energy.
"The signature drive is now 60
ing ahead with full steam. All
workers organizations must help
the Communist Party to throw back
into the face of the police and their
hired thugs their attempts to liquf-
date the Communist Party by aid
ing US in the work of collecting the
signatures in order to place our
Party on the ballot and build up
tremendous movement in support of
the election program of the Com
munist Party"
