NEW YORK. - Further enormous

Ohio barred the Communist can

for the first time real challenge to
capitalism" stated Professor Calvin
Hoover, of Duke University. Hoover
has Just returned from visit to
the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics.
Dr. Lewis L. Lorwin, of the nnsti-
tute of Economics, also recent Wis
itor to the Soviet Union, confirmed
Professor Hoover's analysis, and spoke
of two ways to accept the challenge"
On To Fascism.
Capitalism must either prove"
said Lorwin, that the fundamental
principles upon which it Is based:
private ownership, private initiative,
and freedom of enterprise, can
achieve the purposes Of economic life
more effectively than the principles
of Communism, or 1t may admit that
the older principles upon which it
is based are not quite adequate for
the problems and conditions of today,
and that some form of organized
thinking and some method Of CO.

secution of economic activities"

U. T. w. Already Betraying.
The U. T. w. leaflet calling the

"a walkout of ali full fashioned
workers in Berks County cannot
be averted in the next ten days
unless the employees Immediately

The National Textile Workers
Union, whose slogan is Organize

points out that the U. T. w. plan is
to try and stop the strike,
to work during negotiations, and that
it holds out the idea only of post
poning, not preventing, the wage

BOSSES ARM
AGAINST THE
UNEMPLOYED
Use "Crime Wave" AS
PreteXt for More
Cops, Militia
Starvation Spreading
Hoover Mocks Hunger
of Workers Children

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Under the
pretext Of an impending crime wave
as the result of growing unemploy-
ment, the police in New York and
elsewhere are mobilizing to shoot
down jobless workers. The New York
Enquirer, Sunday newspaper, at
tributes "21 violent crimes" to the
desperation of unemployed workers.
1t goes on to say that as a result
of economic situation" the police
commissioner will make a change
In the squad system. This will even
up the uniformed patrol strength on
the three tours of duty"
This is in line with the Hoover
policy of getting the militia ready to
give the unemployed bullets when
they ask or fight for bread. All over
the country, not only the police are
being armed and ordered to shoot
to kill, but the capitalists themselves
especially in the exclusive sections,
are arming as in Evanstone, Ill,
Westminster, New York, and else
where.
With Hoover's instructions already
out to all state militias and police
forces to arm against the unem-
ployed, the imperialist president has
the gall to issue a Thanksgiving pro-
clamation praising the advance of
capitalism in the prevention of dis
ease and in the protection of child
hodo."
Children Of unemployed workers
already like flies for lack Of food
and because of diseases contracted
due to malnutrition starvation.
While wages are being cut the price
of milk and other foods necessary for
children is going up making it almost
impossible for the employed, let al
one the unemployed, to provide their
children with enough food to keep
them healthy and alive.
For the workers the only solution
is to fight for unemployment insur-
ance, and against the rotten cap
italist system, which is responsible
for unemployment. Don't starve,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ga
full confession that all the promises
made by the democratic party about
unemployment relief, etc, and all the
criticism of the republican policies
of war making, attack on the work
ers' standard of living. and starvation
of the jobless, was just election talk,
has been made by the chief donkey
drivers here.
Yesterday. just when it became
clear that large masses had been
fooled by some of this stuff, and had
elected a whole string of democrats
to Congress, giving them practical
control of both houses, statement
was issued by the big chiefs, Alfred
E. Smith, John Davis, James M. Cox
Gall candidates at one time for pres
ident), together with the democratic
leader in the Senate, the leader in
the house; RaSkob, chairman Of the
national committee and Shouse,
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the democratic party.
Won't Brighten Business.
They pledged the democrats to CO.
operate with Hoover, not to engage
in any obstructive tactics, and not
to brighten business" Even en-
lightened political selfishness de-
mands that business should not be
frightened," says their statement.
This is certainly clear enough. The
y for wa~0 cuts, for throwing the
burden OF the crisis on the vorkers
and jobless, for ruthless suppression
of the workers organizations, the
inlperialist war sans, the business
councils for tricking the jobless and
preventing strikes-are all big bust
ness strategy. The democrats criti-
cized some of them before the cleo
ton to better fool the workers, to
show the big capitalists that demo-
Gratis were as useful for fooling the
workers as republicans. That was
accomplished, and the democratic
chiefs now make haste to assure big
business of their loyalty, and that
the anti-labor policies of big busi-
ness will be carried out by them, in
cooperation with the Hoover admin
istration.
Fight For Insurance!
We may now expect a revival of
joint swindling operations against
the jobless, noisy fake relief mea-
sures, by the two big capitalist par
ties working together in perfect har-
mony.
The Communist Party continues,
by signature collections, by organ
ization of jobless and workers, by
mass demonstrations, to carry on the
fight for taking the war funds and
more to provide $25 a week insur-
ance to each unemployed worker.

world are being speeded-up a humid
red fold, as the economic crisis deep

AS Comrade Litvinov, of the Soviet
Delegation, pointed out at the Geneva

capitalist nations are increasing their
war budgets and talk about peace"
and disarmament" the more as they
prepare for actual war.
With millions unemployed, the cap
italists throughout the world are
spending between $4,O00,oOo,ooo and
$4,000, 100000 yearly for war. The war
maneuvers against the Soviet Union
especially receive added weight as the
workers in the U.S.SR. push ahead
under the Five-Year Plan, building
up socialism, exposing the bankruptcy
of capitalism, its decay and misery for
the workers.

MEET TO FIGHT
PERSECUTION OF
FOREIGN-BORN
Called for Dec. LIST In
Washington, D. c..

NEW YORK. To combat the
Wholesale persecution of foreign
born workers throughout the United
States, a convention for the pro-
lection of the foreign-born will be
held in Washington, D. c., on De-
cenber !, the approximate date of
the opening of congress.
The convention Will be held in
Press Hall with about 400 delegates
present from all parts of the coun-
try and under the auspices of the
Council for the Protection of the
Foreign Born.
To Fight Deportations
The Council for the Protection OF
the Foreign Born is an outgrowth of
the deportation and persecution in
general going on as result of the
more militant activity on part of
workers resisting the onslaught of
employers associations in the present
period of unemployment.
The convention in Washington will
pay special attention to the finger
printing and registration Of aliens
bills which congress will attempt to
put through in this coming session.
The deportation of Serio, Vukukel
and other cases will be discussed and
plans formulated for vigorous cam
paign against these attacks. Dis
reimbursement of aliens will be gone
into and a general offensive planned.
