Hoover Insists on
Battleships in London

Continued from Page One)
built by all nations as real auXil-
liary fighting ships, with provision
made for gun emplacements and
other naval equipment.
A British expert points out that
Germany's recent new 'battle cruis-
err" has revolutionized naval con-
struction and makes such heavy
cruisers really more powerful than
the biggest battleship.
Tardieu of France, comforting
with Stimson on Sunday, is report
ed to have 'made it clear" that
France insists that the League of
Nations, and not the London Con-
ference, is the place where France
wants decisions made, and that Lon
don must only "create an atmos-
phere," while only "Article Eight Of
the League Covenant can be used
as basis for fixing tonnage"
Fake Agreement May Exclude
France.
France comes to London only to
"realize a preliminary accord to per-
nit Geneva to proceed, that it is
illogical to talk about cruisers at
London, and that the London Con-
ference be checked Immediately if
it starts to study Anglo-American
technical propositions"
All this indicates that even fake
agreement is likely to leave France
out and that the most forlornly
barren fig>leaf of agreement" is
likely to result.
The Berlin "Voissische Zeitung"
is raising the question Of the abb
sence of the Soviet Union from the
London Conference, saying that the
sending of two Soviet ships from
the Baltic into the Black Sea, is a
reminder" to the smperialist pow
ers that they had neglected" to in
vite the Soviet Union, and that in
view of the friendly relations be-
tween the Soviets and Turkey, it is
"a protest of both Russia and Tur-
key against the treaty of Lau-
same"

November" is a long time for 6,OOO,-
600 unemployed workers to wait for
jobs.
But the present crisis of U. S.
imperialism is much deeper rooted
than even the most "honest" of cap
italist economists will admit. All the
basic industries are in the throes of
the severest slump since 1921, with
the prospects of revival much less
than at that time. Automobile pro-
duction, which according to the An
nalist business index was at 1908
in June, 1929, fell to 51.5 in Deem
ber-a dorp of more t han 100
points, AS for the steel industry,
they say:
"The only major element IN steel
demand, therefore, which has held
up to anything like satisfactory level,
is railroad buying, except for lChicb
the curtaiiment in steel mill actiUjty
would hare become drastic indeed"
The Commercial and Financial
Chronicle points out that railroad
orders were placed before the slump
and offer no consolation to the cap
italists. There are over 100000 rail
road cars in good condition unused
lying in the yards
There is overproduction in steel,
automobiles textiles. The home mar
ket is completely saturated. Amer
lean imperialism is preparing for A
ferocious attack on the world mar
kets with British, French, German,
Italian and Japanese capitalism
fighting for the same end. Each of
these countries are entering, or have
been undergoing a period of crisis,
and are fighting for more markets.
The wage cutting campaign
backed by the misleaders of the
American Federation Of Labor, and
directed by the Hoover-Barnes
business council" is in full swing.
Workers in over 48 large plants
have been handed drastic wage
slashes since the Green-Hoover
agreement of "no strike" and enc
demands for wage increases"
One of the immediate tasks Of
every section of the Communist
Party is the organization of thu
unemployed workers, in unity with
the employed workers, to fight for
full-wage unemployed relief, and
against the drastic wage cuts.

ers, the tramwaymen, the cleo
tricians, etc.
The leader of the offensive is a
British company which has a monop-
oily of the production of electric
power in Athens and Piraeus. The
great tobacco trust has also cut the
price of tobacco from the individual
growers.
The capitalist offensive is causing
rapid rehabilitation on the part of
the workers and peasants. Accord
ing to bourgeois reports no less than
1900 peasants took part in three
great demonstrations against the
government during the past week.
Although the leadership of these
demonstrations was in the hands of
bourgeois liberals, the peasants took
up very revolutionary attitude and
threatened an armed revolt unless
the government granted their de-
mands.
Four thousand students have been
on strike in Athens for about a
week now against reactionary meas
ures introduced by the government
into the university, raising the fees,
etc. Mass demonstrations have
taken place and there have been vio-
lent collisions with the police.
A strike of the gas workers, the
tramwaymen, the busmen and the
electricians has broken out both in
Athens and Piraeus. The workers
of the power station in Piraeus have
proclaimed a solidarity strike. There
is also movement amongst the rail-
waymen to come out and thus pre-
vent threatening wage reductions.
The strike has very definitely
political character and Veniselos has
declared that the demands of the
strikers can only be fulfilled by the
revolut IN. Sailors from the Greek
warshir are maintaining skeleton
service.
The social fascists are trying their
old tactics of leading the movement,
in order then to throttle it, and it
would seem as though they have
gained their end in Salonika.
The leadership Of the strike in
Athens and Piraer however, is in
the hands of the Communists. The
movement is one of the most inn
portant in the history of the Greek
working class.

PATERSON, N. j., Jan. 19.-An
attempt of the owners Of the Colom-

instead of the usual time. A COM
mitteeN of weavers came to union
headquarters and asked TO be or

Thousands of unemployed work
ers are being gyped all over the
country by the private unemploy-
ment agencies which fatten on the
mass jobless situation.
Last year there were 2,4OO COM
plants of workers who paid money
for jobs that did not exist. There
are 1900 agencies in New York.
The most fragrant case is that of
the Reliable Employment Agency
that bled over $50 unemployed out
Of S. to $25, promising them jobs.
The indignant workers stormed the
agency and were beaten back by the
police.
In fighting this situation, which is
especially fragrant at this time, with
unemployment mounting at the rate
of 100000 jobless a month, the Com
munist arty demands "the abolition
of private employment agencies; the
establishment of free employment
agencies, administered by the work
ers' representatives charged with
the administration of unemployment
benefits" The Unemployment bene-
fits demanded in the progress of the
Communist Party is complete in
surance against unemployment, to
be provided by the government, fl
nanced by taxes on income, inheri-
lance and profits, and providing all
unemployed with benefits of full
wage rates, without any exceptions
or disqualifications."
