THE enormous aggravation of the capitalist
l sterilization crisis in Rumania is closely
linked up with the catastrophe agrarian crisis.
The whole of industry is paralyzed. Not only
the weak and shaky undertakings have been
closed down but also the greatest works OF
finance capital, such as "Reshitza" in the Ban
at. the 'Astra" wagon factory in Arad are
restricting production and throwing thousands
of proletarians onto the streets. Thus for in
stance in the "Astra" wagon factory only about
700 workers are working three days week,
where formerly 5000 workers were occupied
full time
According to the reports Of bourgeois papers
and of the government the number of the I'M
employed exceeds $1,000. But the organ of
the Unitary trade unions "Munkaselet" Work
ers Life) of January 10 estimates the number
of the unemployed industrial workers at 300,-
900 to $4,000. AS result of the decay of
capitalist sterilization we see the rapid up
surge of the revolutionary movement which IS
headed by the unemployed masses. In the
months of December and January the starving
unemployed masses came out onto the streets,
under the leadership of the Communist Party.
Collisions occurred with the gendarmere and
the military.

est point in Bessarabia which has been annexed
by Rumanian imperialism. After the workers
had occupied the premises of the Unitary Trade
Unions in Kishinev, mass demonstrations took
place with red banners and revolutionary
streamers in Orhei, 1smail and Tighina. The
demands of the workers are: "Work and bread,
defense of the Soviet Union and the unification
of Bessarabia with the Moldavian Soviet Re-
public"
In Bucharest and Jassy ever larger masses
are demonstrating in the streets. On the Sth
of January, during the trial of the arrested
delegates to conference of the Unitary Trade
Unions in Czernovitz, street fights repeatedly
took place between the workers and the police.
Also in Pennsylvania and in the Banat power
full mass actions took place under the leader
ship of the Communist Party and the Young
Communist League against the treacherous
trade union bureaucracy.
In Temesvar several thousand workers
marched with red flags on December %, 80
and 81 and January and 3. In the ensuing
street fights the unemployed occupied the town
hall and captured back the workers premises;

Questions and Answers on
Unemployment

(The following is the third of series of
Questions and Answers on the World Crisis,
Unemployment and the Tasks of the revolu-
tionary trade unions, issued by the Red Inter
national of Labor Unions.-Editor)
Question 3. Is the recent growth OF unem-
ployment a result of the crisis?
A correct answer to this question is exceed
ingly important, for throughout the whole of
the postwar period there has been consider
able unemployment practically in all the coun-
tries.
Suffice it to say that even when the period
of prosperity was at it's height in the U. S. A.
there were between and million unem-
ployed in this country, unemployment never
fell below the million mark in Great Britain,
while in Germany the unemployment figures
fluctuated between 100000 7O0,O 900 and two and
a half millions
Owing to capitalist naturalization and the
displacement of labor by machinery, unemploy-
ment during the last few years has shown a
definite tendency towards further growth, and
the army of unemployed today is no longer a
reserve, but altogether superf!acus. for there
is no hope that these men will ever be abb
sorbed by industry again.
While we see the present day economic crisis
developing amidst the general economic crisis
of the postwar period, we should note that the
exceptional growth of unemployment during
the last few months has taken place amidst
the growing chronic unemployment which has
been SO much in evidence during the last few
years.

REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE
OF THE UNEMPLOYED
IN RUMANIA

Disarmed the Police.
In the whole of Pennsylvania the revolution
airy struggle of the unemployment masses is
developing. In Cluj the unemployed attacked
the police guard posted before the workers
premises, disarmed it and occupied the trade
union house. In Targa Mures the masses like
wise captured the workers premises. In Arad
Oradea- Mare and Porasoy, powerful demonstra-
tons also took place.
The social fascists demand the bloody sup
preston of the unemployed masses. In Buch-1
Arrest the social-fascists organized an 'unenl-
ployed delegation" who demanded of the fascist
government the formation of an armed guard
in order to proceed against the insurrectionary
Communists. Even in the "beggars' kitchens"
fascists together with police, Siguranza and
gendarmerie are attacking the revolutionary
unemployed
The Communist Party and the Unitary Trade
Unions which are conducting the revolutionary
struggle of the unemployed masses, are en-
deavoring to link up the struggle of the I'M
employed with the struggle of the workers in
the factories. On March the unemployed and
the employed will demonstrate under the lead
ership of the Communist Party for the follow
ing slogans: Against the mass dismissals, for
state support for the unemployed; Against
capitalist naturalization, for increased wages!

That the crisis will increase unemployment
still further is borne out by the following facts
A conser> ative estimate places unemployment
in the U. S. A. at the end of January some
where over millions, that is to say three
millions over the normal prosperity" figures.
In Germany there are about three and a
half million unemployed, VINO comprise ap-
proximatey fourth of the prole.ariat
In England there were million and a half
unemployed, a further increase of $4,000
being registered between June and December,
which far exceeded the figures for the same
months in previous years.
Of the small countries we might call at
tention to Italy with it's 100000 unemployed
(although official fascist statistics claim only
100000; Austria with its 100000 Czecho-
Slovakia 100000 Hungary 100000, and so on.
In the small countries there are more than
three millions unemployed today.
Should we add to these figures the 100000
unemployed in Mexico, the million unemployed
in Latin America, the British Domnions and
Japan with their million each, then we see
that apart from the colonial and semi-coIonal
countries there are approximately II millions
unemployed today.
This means that world capitalism is doom
ing II million proletarians. together with thsir
families total of 20 million people to starva-
ton.
In contrast to previous years we already
have at the present time, at the very begin
ming OF the crisis, an increase of unemploy-
ment by five or six millions. Since there is
every reason to believe that the crisis will
spread and be deepened this of course holds
out every prospect of further growth of un.
employment in the capitalist countries.

Notes on the South
By CAROLINE DREW.

Goldberg Brothers, who own the American
Spinning Company Mills No. l and 2 in Bes-
semer City, also own the Piedmont Mill in
Gastonia, where so workers are employed. They
recently gave these so workers notices that the
mill would close down indefinitely and that
they had better vacate the company houses.
The next move of these bosses was the shutting
off of the lights and water supply.

In the first half of this article the writer
pointed out that the question of organization
was neglected, the basic reasons for this, the
opportunist manner in which the former
Lovestone leadership toyed with this ques-
ton, and the lack of simplicity in our writ
ings. The second instalment follows
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-02-28

This article certainly cannot be cited as an
example Of simplicity or of popular writing. The
writer recognizes this but points out that this
is in the nature of Party discussion article
meant for Party members for the most part.
Had this been article leaflet meant for
mass work, the style language certainly
would not be permissible.

Military Training Camp, which will open

Military Training Camp, which will open
at Monterey on July 3.
So much has been said about the CMTC
in recent years that it seems superfluous
to add anything to what has already been
written, but for the benefit of any who
might not be acquainted with the pur-
pose of the camps, a few remarks about
them are not out of place.
Their primary purpose is to give Am
erican youths military training which
might be of untold value to them person.
ally and to their country, in time of en-
ergency. The World War showed us the
the necessity for having trained leaders,
who in turn could train others when need
arises.
While operated by the military, the
camps are not militaristic in the offens-
i've meaning of that word. Their purpose
is not to create military oligarchy in
this country, but to give the nation some
measure of the protection it needs as
man or a family needs insurance.
The camps are operated by the govern
ment at no cost to the student attending,
except for minor incidentals and person
al needs. Food, uniforms, shelter and
transportation are provided.
Instruction at the camp, while based
on army life, also includes physical train
ing and even the short month of the
camps existence, enables them to work
wonders in the development of young
men.
Any young man of good moral charac-
ter may apply for permission to attend =
the camp and if he is able to pass in
spection, will be admitted.
If the camps did nothing more than to
impress upon American youths the neces-
sity for obedience and respect for lawful
authority, their cost would be we'll worth
every cent required. They go step or
two further and point the way to real
manhood for the coming citizens of the
country.
Parents who have extreme ideas on the
CMTC are urged to investigate them
thoroughly before refusing their sons
permission to attend. Sons of the lead
ing men and women in the country have
been enrolled in the CMTC.
Attendance at them in no way binds
youth to future military service. He is
not a reservist subject to call In case OF
emergency. But if occasion should arise
where he would be called in a draft, as
so many men were in 1918-19, he would
find himself adequately equipped for the
emergency that had come to him. Proof
that such equipment is highly desirable,
can be obtained from many of those who
suffered from lack of it, IL and 13 years
ago.

WHO WILL DO 1T?

In the light of the senate's action in
passing the Harrison immigration bill,
limiting immigration from Mexico to
1,SOO persons year, just where Califer
MIA is going to get labor needed in her
agricultural industries is going to be
difficult question for the future to an
swer
First the Chinese then the japanese
and Hindus were restricted, and now the
Mexican, with considerable agitation to
exclude the Filipino.
White labor will not do the hard 'stoop
and knee" work required in planting and
harvesting many California crops. That
is particularly true here in Imperial Val
ley, where this work has been done chief
ly by Mexican families, who migrated
here for the seasonal work, returning to
their own country when the work was
done.
The 1900 laborers which the new law
will permit to come into the United
States from Mexico, will not be hand
full compared to the number needed.
Having passed the senate the bill is to
be sent to the house, where it is quite like
ly it will be given similar action.
1t is the privilege of this country to
regulate its own immigration laws, but
convincing other nations of that and still
retaining their friendship, is a difficult
matter. Mexico is bound to resent the re-
striction placed on her and much of the
good work that has been done by recent
American diplomats in creating friend
ly feeling between the two nations, is
likely to be undone.
We may manage to maintain friendship
with Mexico, and no doubt there will be
some way of getting the labor done in
our fields, but who will do it is something
that maybe the experts in Washington can
answer.
