THOMAS TALKS
OF NEW PARTY
Social Fascists Plot in
Summer Haunts

FOREST PARK, N. j., June %.
According to Norman Thomas,
who besides starring as a social
fascist in the Socialist" party &C.
cupies similar role as director Of
the class collaboration League for
Industrial Democracy Ia rival in
betrayal of workers to the National
Civic Federation), announces that
the league will soon open an office
in Chicago.
This is, says Thomas, "to enlist
the support of the Middle West
for a third progressive party in
preparation for the 1882 presiden-
tial campaign"
The league is holding it's sum-
mer conference on how best to make
the workers believe the boss class
are their friends and how to get
the workers to stop striking against
such friends"
John T. Flynn of Golfers Weekly
seems to be present as a living
testimony to the bond established
between Sir Henry Deterding, the
head of the Royal Dutch Oil, finan-
cial hacker of the crop of political
forgeries against the Soviet Union
(including Whalen's and Easley's),
and the anti-Soviet Socialists" Mr..
Flynn has an article praising Deter
ding in Golfers Weekly for July 5,
quoting without comment Deter
ding's remark: II would give your
Communists no quarter. l believe
in free speech, but not for these
Communists" Such is the "democ-
racy" Of the League for Industrial
Democracy.
Oscar Ameringer, now with
Frank harrington working for the
Peabody Coal Co. of Illinois as rival
takers to John l.. Lewis in betray-
ing the coal miners, spoke here
against Lewis as a "racketeer."
David Saposs, a high-brow "his-
torian" on labor, also scored Tabor
racketeers" and graft in the trade
unions. Saposs, like others of the
League for Industrial Democracy,
believes that the unions should be
cleaned of graft so they can prac-
tice nice "clean" class collaboration,
the workers and bosses getting to-
gether to prevent strikes when the
bosses cut wages and speed up the
workers, thus helping the boss and
saving the overhead on police
strike-breaking, all for "the COM
mon good"
Morris Hillquit, official chairman
of the Socialist" party, spoke on
political matters, and the biggest
thing he could think about is the
morals" of Tammany, insulting
not only the Unemployed Delega-
ton railroaded by the capitalist
judges, but also the unfortunate
victims Of capitalism who are called
criminals" by saying that "there
is little moral choice between the
Tammany judge and the criminal
at the bar" If Tammany judge
is not CRATER personally, he can

nation, as follows:
"The world economic crisis is
merely the last and worst of the
periodic crises inevitable under the
capitalist system, whose production
invariably outruns the demand
every ten years or so, because the
capitalist producers withhold the
profits from the working popula-
ton and the gradual accumulation
of this mass of profit becomes
frozen at the end of each period
whereas under the socialist system
every cent of profit is returned 30
the workers, not only in the form
of wages but in material and cui-
tural construction. Thus in Soviet
Russia there is no frozen money,
so that supply and demand are adj
justed automatically.
"Our industrial production this
year represents 1870 per cent Of the
pre-war level. The value of social
lied production this year was 25,-
00O,0OO,O00 rubles, an increase of
200 per cent since the last Party
convention. The value of private
production was 3,250,OOO,O00 rubles,
decrease of 20 per cent stree the
last convention.
"The capitalist system means
panics, lowered wages and the
growth of unemployment. The So
cialist system eliminates panics,
creates employment and increases
wages.
"The growth Of industrial pro-
duction of the Soviet Union and

MussOlini Fears Arm ing of Italian Masses

Fascist Italy, like the other cap
italist countries of the world, is in
the grip of an economic crisis. The
government recorded deficit of
S15,000,000 by the end of February
and this figure has not shrunk ma
terially since then. Unemployment
Is growing more acute daily, and is
especially aggravated by the res
friction of Italian immigration, par
ticularly to the United States and
Australia.
To what an extent Mussolini's
regime stands on veritable pow
der key of revolution is indicated in

How does the British worker

Your Reader,
A Worker, H. L. S.
X
P. ST. am veteran having gone
through a war.
Editorial NOte:-India is a good
example of the use of religious diff
ferences by British Imperialism to
keep the workers and peasantry
divided, and thus easier to subject
and exploit. In recent years Moslems
have been used to act as strike
breakers on Hindu workers.
The events in India today that
portend greater revolutionary strug-
giles under the leadership of the
Communist Party is not a religious
war but war of exploited colonial
peoples, starved, oppressed, and
choked by British imperialism
against their Oppressors.
The world revolution is not to be
merely awaited. The tasks of or
ganizing the workers for their day
tday struggles is today just as
much part of the world revolution
as the fiercer battles of the future.
Workers who recognize the near
ness of imperialist war need 30 be
reminded of the feminist view of
turning an imperialist war into a
civil war, when they start thinking
about becoming conscientious obiec-
tors. To do revolutionary work is
turning imperialist war into one
against the bosses, isolation from the
masses of workers, in and out of
uniform, means running away from
this historic task.
The British workers oppressed and
starved by the same imperialist's
bankers that are now showering
death on the Indian masses through
their Labor" Party government, are
beginning to see the need for united
fight against their one common
enemy. Those under the influence of
the Communist Party see this
clearly.

Kaganovitch Makes Organization
Report.

MOSCOW, June 30.-Comrade
Kaganovitch delivered the organiza-
tional report of the Central Com
mittee to the Sixteenth Congress of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union.
Four tasks were set: To CONSOLE
date the rate of industrial develop
ment, socialist construction in agri.
culture, consolidate the organs of
proletarian dictatorship, and i'm
prove the Party leadership.
The membership of the labor
unions has increased over a million,
there being at present, en- the basis
of October figures, 11,5S5,000 mem
bers of trade unions. The Atheists
Association gained million, being
now 100000 strong. The "Ossoa-
viachim' (society to aid aviation
and chemical production) has grown
from 2,950,000 to 100000.
The labor enthusiasm of the
masses has awakened. The Party
has given it organizational form,
Industrial "shock groups" and So
cialist competitive schemes have
worked wonders and are still grow
ing.
Opportunist leadership of the la
Dor unions has been replaced and
factory work is therefore increas-
ing. Town Soviets must improve
industrial work. Two hundred and
fifty thousand Party members were
recently sent to the villages to as
sist specialization of agriculture.
The political and cultural activ-
ity of the masses is growing. Par
ticipation in elections IS extremely
nigh. The total newspaper circr-
alton was 100000 in 1925. while

S1O0,000,OOO to Re-Equip Army in France

PARIS, June 29.-War is draw
ing near and M. Tardieu, the French
premier, needs $100,000,000 to re-
equip the army stock, which have
been neglected for some years past,
and also to strengthen frontier for
tifications. This money he intends
to take from the treasury reserve
of s200,000,000. The Socialists"
and radicals" seized upon the OPP
portunity to embarrass M. Tardieu
and opposed the measure on the
ground. of "unwise finance" The
opposition almost caused a cabinet
crisis, but M. Tardieu was sustained
in a vote of confidence.

Ruhr Workers Wages Receive Great Slash

BERLIN QP.S).-The arbitra-
ton decision in the wage conflict
of 100000 metal workers in the
Rhine and Ruhr districts, announced
on May 26, has now been declared
binding by the Reich's labor min
lister, Stegerwald. The decision
provides for a wage-cut of 71a per
cent for 100000 metal workers to
take effect July 1.
There is great Indignation among
the workers, and even the members
of the Christian unions are angry
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-01

The French socialists and radi-
Gals are not opposed to the war
preparations of Tardieu because
they are opposed to the imperialist
war; they are merely posing as
sham opposition to court popular
favor. 1t was the socialist leader,
Paul Boncour, that proposed the
military preparation law in the
French chamber. The French So
cialists are doing their best to help
their masters in the war prepara-
tions. When the war comes, the
French socialists will fight for their
imperialist fatherland as shame
lessly as they did in the last war.

to yesterdays New York Evening
Post.
The Italian bosses, according to
Fodor, are not anxious for war.
"Mussolini," he writes, "does not
put too much faith in his fascist
militia and he is not ready to mob
ilize the nation, for that would
mean the arming of peasants and
workers, with consequent consider
able danger to the fascist regime"
This is a straightforward admission
that the Italian masses are funda-
mentally hostile to fascism, and
that the rising tide of revolution
will receive strong impetus from
Italy also.

ports he had issued $50 matrimon-
ial permits so far this month
Twenty-nine couples is the largest
DAYS business for June, 1880.
Couples are nervous and cheer
full when they apply for licenses.
They never see the forebodings in
the clerks office that might occur
to persons less confident that mar
ried bliss is happiest.
For instance, applicants for mar
rage licenses who transact their
business at a counter. on the left,
apparently never notice another
desk to the right where divorced
wives present little pink slips for
alimony.
And, although, the clerks office
does a varied business, even to the
issuance of firearm permits, its just
a cheerful little marriage license bu-
reau to the prospective bride and
groom.
They smile at the clerk, unmind-
full of the worried expressions on
applicants to the right, thank him
for his advice, and rush out to con-
quer the world.
