perialist country into the orbit OF the sharp
crisis. This will intensity and deepen the
crisis internationally.
Unable to export to the United States the
large quantities of silk which were used on
the American markets. result of the Amer
lean criss-Japan cannot buy in the United
States. On the other hand, the shutting down
of Japanese industry precpitates situation
for the workers of Japan which spells more
intense struggle Already a big strike has
broken out in Toxic which will be the beginning
of bitter period of fight.
Deeper Effects of World Crisis.
Let American bankers and exchange brokers
say that this means nothing to America This
is nonsense--it shows deeper effect of the
world crisis emanating from the United States.
The railroad companies do not speak any long
err of the billions to be spent in Improvements.
The steel industry has suffered new decline.
Automobiles have not picked up; the tUilding
industry shows further reduction. The
"sxty days" of Hoover continue to be days
in the future. No improvement can be ex-
pected.
Should however, with the stock exchange as
a barometer, industry expand somewhat, the
subsequent crash will be so much sharper.
"Cheap money" cheap credit" is the slogan
for promoting industry and commerce: But
bankers and economists admit that not cheap
ness of money or credit will help, but the
probability of return on acknowledgements
determines. And for this there is no outlook
for there is no market for the overproducing
industries.
The ending of the disarmament" conference

the hasty agreement" by the three powers
the United States, Great Britain and Japan
contingent upon an arrangement between
France and Italy and upon the further con-
tingency of England having navy equal to

cost not "only" $1,750000,000 or $4,000 900
as originally faced by the three powers that
have agreed" but far more. 1t means that

Struggle For Markets.
| Markets for industry-markets to "restore"
international imperialist industry-that is the
| immediate STRUGGLED! This cannot be STAYED
| off-on the contrary, the struggle will grow
| sharper every day.
| The only way out of this conflict-overpro-
| .duction with no market4-nternationa strug-
| gle for markets and protection by the United
| States in particular of its tremendous invest
| ments abroad and finally procurement of raw
materials for industry and especially for war
oil, copper, rubber, etc:-the only way out is
| imperialist war.
| Can it be avoided? The only alternative is
| war of the imperalst powers against che
| Soviet Union. This is being organized with
| all energy and speed. 1t is not an accident
that mobilization against the Soviet Union took
| place during the disarmament conference.
| The attacks by the Pope, the Archbishop of
| Canterbury, the priests, rabbis and bishops in
| the United States, the "day of prayer" the
open attacks on the ambassador of the Soviet
| Union in Paris, attacks in the U. S. Congress
and by bankers, are all part of the prepare
tons for war on the Soviet Union. The won
| derful success of the Five Year Plan with the
| knocking at the door of the United States by
| Soviet industry" as Congressman Sirovich said
few days ago. has aroused American manu-
| facturers and bankers, who know that the day
| of reckoning is nearng-the supremacy of i'm
perialism with its anarchy of production and
distribution is being challenged by Sovietism
Observation-Disclosures attacks the work
ers-imperialst war-armed attack on the So
Wet Union-these things face the workers
immediate problems.
| What Must Be Done?
Observation-Disclosures for struggle
that is our task. The slashing of the condi-
| tons of the workers in the shops result
of the fearful permanent unemployment, the
| speed-up, the driving mechanizaton of indus
| try, demand immediate action.
1.-THE cooperation of the socialists with the
police" at the funeral of Mazzola, the workers
shot by the police in New York, shows the
role of the socialist party. Cooperation with
| the police, whose task, as tools of the capt.
| talist government is to crush the rising tide
| of the workers, is the historical role of the
| socialist party the world over, until, as in
Germany and England, they the police
commanders themselves. This shows clearly
| the social-fascist character of the socialist
party that they cannot explain away-a role
they willingly assume. Tascists using some
what of labor language, with actions that
are those of TIE capitalist police!
The conviction of the Unemployed Delega-
tion--"the greatest victory of the year." as Dis

munists Observation-Disclosures what the workers
may and must expect. Treachery of the fas-
cist leadership of the A. F. of L., treachery of
the socialist party-no, their open working as
| agents of the bosses-leave the path open for
militant action to be organized by the Commu-
| mist Party.
| Mass Political Strike.
May First will be another test of what the
Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity
! League can do. The mass political strike of

committees linking up with the Trade Union
Unity League, through the shop locals of the
