state of affairs was made on Aug

and openly assumed the premiership
himself. Last Wednesday, he issued
a very strong denunciation of par

In view Of the necessity to carry
through serious struggle against
the fascist dictatorship in Poland,
representatives of several organiza

in conference and organized Il
rovincial committee to carry on a

fascist regime. This campaign is
to be closely linked up with the

Ford has been thoroughly ex-

in his Chester plant. Ford reads
the little "Ford Worker" and
knows all about speed-up, overtime
without pay and firing for no rea-
son except that a spotter caught
the worker washing two or three
minutes before the whistle blows.
He also knows one worker is doing
what two or three workers used
to do.

foothold in any country then that
country needs Communists" So

says: "We are not afraid Of red
workmen in our factories. If their
propaganda gets results there must
be some cause for it"

But Henry Ford fires workers
right along for Communist" opin-
ions. He sends in stool-pigeons to
hunt out red workmen in his factor

and knows the rotten conditions
that exist in his plants. So he fires
the Communists because he wants
to force his workers to produce
profits for him. He knows Com
munists fight bosses like himself.
