BLAST
BOSSES LIES
Expose New Campaign
of Prosperity Bunk

Precisely at the time that the
sharp economic crisis in the United
States is worsening, the capitalist
press has started a new campaign
of perversion and lying about I'M
employment and the growing of the
depression.
1t is very evident from the uni
form manner in which this propa-
ganda appears in nearly all the
capitalist sheets, that the hand of
Hoover, Lamont G. Co. is behind
this new maneuver.
A special section on the front
page appears in all the Hearst pa
pers shrieking about returning
prosperity" Nor are the Hearst
dope sheets an exception.
In New York, where the Commits
sioner of Labor has repeatedly con-
tradicted Davis's lying statements
about improving employment, we
now find Governor Roosevelt re-
vomiting the exploded lies OF
Hoover, Lamont and Davis.
Roosevelt cannot say that there
is an improvement in unemploy-
ment. The latest figures of his own
Labor Department for February
showed an increase in the jobless
army. What does he do? He re-
peats the outworn and blasted
promises of Hoover. He says, "The
coming spring months will relieve
the STRESS" etc., etc.
What are the facts?
All along the line the crisis is
worsening, deepening, sharpening
and with it unemployment is grow.

MOSCOW. U.S.S.R., March IT,
The Executive Committee of the In
ternational Red Aid, has issued an
appeal on the anniversary of the
Paris Commune, March IS, pointing
out that the anniversary occurs in
the midst of a rising revolutionary
wave of the world proletariat and
an increasing crisis which is shaking
the foundations of capitalism.
There are twenty million unem-
ployed throughout the capitalist
world engaged in constant collisions
with the armed forces of the cap
italist governments, peasant risings
in colonial and semi-colonial coun-
tries. Faced by such a revolutionary
struggle, plus the rapid building up
of socialism in the Soviet Union,
capitalism attempts to save itself by
intensified exploitation of the masses
and crushing of the revolutionary
movement in blood.

handed the three workers their

called a meeting of some of the
workers, promised them a raise pro-

Wall Street Admits II.
The situation in Mexico as re-
CARDS the savage white terror being
used against the workers, including
the outlawing of the Communist
Party, the red trade unions, the
Anti-Imperialist League, the Red
Aid and all genuine workers or
CARNATIONS, is brazenly admitted
by no less an authority than the
Wall Street Journal in an editorial
of March II, speaking as follows:
"In Mexico, an unavowed but ac-
tual counter-revolution has alone
saved the people from anarchy. So
far as the masses are concerned,
they have gained no more real free
dom to govern themselves than
they enjoyed under the repressiye
but orderly rule of Diaz, while their
living conditions are no better. The
shift of power from single hand
to changing groups of political adj
venturers supported by bands of
armed parasites upon the country,
has done less than nothing for the
proletariat."
We see that from the above even
the Yankee imperialists detest the
boot-licking lackeys of Gales,
Portes Gil and Rubio, who carry
out Wall Streets attack on the
Mexican workers, and that Wall
Street itself admits that all the bunk

OF some villages nothing except piles

For one example there is Melfi. This
city, before the earth heaved in the
early hours last "Wednesday, perched
prettily upon a volcanic hill. A new
Melfi must arise, but it will lie in the
valley below, along river, where tests
have proved shocks are less likely TO
be felt.

that no reconstruction should be done

shocks, hence all plans are for building
where reasonable safety may be ex-
pected
