TRUTH CAMP IGN
Says He viii Give Real Facts
for First Time to Save
Germany From Ruin.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.

BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.
BY Gable to The Star
BERLIN, Germany. January 81
Having arranged through Foreign Min
lister Julius Curtius for the protection
of Germans in Poland. Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening is now leaving nc
doubt as to his intention to protect
Germans within Germany. This protec-
ton is from Misrepresentation financial
ruin and violent political transforma,
ton.
In two speeches recently delivered
the chancellor has announced that the
time has come to tell Germans the
whole truth, which they have not heard
for is years, whether it is palatable OF
not.
Cites Four Points.
Among the truths he decided tc
state were, roughly. the following:
First, cancellation OF the entire rep
aration payments would not save Ger
many from the sufferings due to the
general economic crisis, since unem-
ployment is not primarily caused by the
Young plan.
Second, the policy of reckless spend
ing which led to the present financial
embarrassment must absolutely stop
and measures must be taken to prevent
future Reichstags from resuming it.
Third, the chancellor has not the
slightest intention of captivating be-
fore the National Socialists or even of
taking them into his cabinet on any
thing like their present program.
A further cardinal point was Bruen-
ing's statement that treaty revision was
a matter of many years, not months or
weeks.
These four points. which have been
persistently stressed in these dispatches
doubtless will not win the chancellor
any immediate partisans. but, as ht
stated at Cologne, the worst agitation
stirring up of the masses and calumny
will not disturb me and my collabo-
rators. This time it is fight for the
truth
Impervious to Taunts.
Therefore the chancellor drives calmly
through the masses or unemployed
which the National Socialists or Com
nullSDS nave SJdSlOIlCO dtOIlS AlAo way
impervious to the tauntS Ct hunger
chancellor" which are flung at him.
Adolf Hitler's anti-Catholic attitude
may prove to have been his undoing
since he has driven the Catholics firmly
back into at least a working alliance
with the Socialists for the defense OF
the present republic. Bruening and his
party leader, the prelate, DR.. Ludwig
Kaas, have begun to answer jeer with
peer, insult with insult and challenge
with defiance.
1t is generally considered that il
BrI1ening can persist in his present tao
tics for a few months longer, the Ma
tional Socialist strength may begin tc
wane Already in Bavaria, once the
citadel of the movement, the party is
becoming increasingly unpopular. But
in the last analysis. the future of ma
tional Socialism in Germany may prove
to be an economic rather than a politi-
cal problem.

any at all!
New York workers and millions of their children
have no milk now-none whatever! None, because
milk is too costly 1t is too costly because ALL milk
companies both loose and bottled, demand out
rageously big profits!
What New York workers should do is to demand
cheaper milk. There is, firstly, no reason for the
price difference between loose and bottled milk Let
all workers demand that all milk, any milk, cost no
more than Eight Cents per quart, whether 1t be
bottled or loosel Then the loose versus bottled
milk quarrel between capitalists will settle itsefP The
workers will buy whichever they Wish-and wherever
they wish.
Helping the Borden Company to ban loose milk is
a robbery of the workers unless bottled milk is cut
in price to the price of loose milk Helping the loose
milk companies defend their profits from the Borden
Company is not the business of the workers. Under
capitalism there will inevitably be rotten milk and
dirty retailing protected by grafters in the Health
Department.
Fight for pure milk, yes! But fight for cheaper
milk first of ALL because the grafters and their milk
companies are trying to raise the price of milk!
Don't be frightened by 'Baci," that is the false
issue raised by the handpicked milk Conference OF
Commissioner Wynne. The issue is NOT safe milk
against unsafe milk but the issue is one Of the

The growth Of the bitterness of

traitor policy of the Nationalist gov
eminent and against the imperialist
attack of Japan is seen in the beating
of Foreign Minister Wang of the Ma
tionalist government by mass of
students on Monday and the attacks
on japanese shopkeepers in Hong
Kong.
Wang was severely beaten by sew
eral hundred students who invaded
the Foreign Office after it became
known that the League of Nations
had refused to do anything in an

who support the japanese imperial

there may Develop a general anti
foreign outbreak similar to the one

only part of the general struggle
against all of the imperialists in

War Department

TUCSON, Ariz.-American Legion
members here have received a con-
Segment of army rifles from the
War Department. These rifles valued
at SIS to $40 at one time, are being
sent to the Legion at $1.50 per rifle.
This is sharp proof of the intention
of the bosses in the United States to
use the American Legion members as
a fascist-scab army to fight for the
bosses against the demands of the
workers for better conditions. This
is especially important for the bosses
right now because of the widespread
wage slashing and unemployment.

Both Norway and Sweden have
gone off the gold standard. The
decision to go off the gold standard
was made to conserve the gold and
foreign exchange resources of the
central banks of both countries. Both
countries have been looked on for
many years as among the most stable
among the capitalist countries. The
financial position of Sweden became
SO weak that it attempted to get a
loan from either France or the United
States. In neither Paris nor New
York was Sweden able to get loan
and so it was decided to go off the
gold standard. The discount rate at
the National Bank of Sweden was
raised to per cent from 6 per cent.
The Egyptian government decided
on Sunday that it could no longer
maintain the gold standard. 1t has
also decreed an increase in import
duties on certain commodities which
fell in price due to the suspension OF
the gold standard by Great Britain.
Greece has decided to impose thoro
restrictions on all foreign exchange
transactions.
The financial structure of the en-
tire capitalist world continues to be
shaken in the latest phase OF the
crisis which was started by the sus-
pension Of the gold standard in
Great Britain. 1t has now been made
public that the "rumor" of the col

of the break in the New York stock

NEW YORK. Yesterday 5000
workers of the Loft Candy Co. in

are very militant. a meeting was
held yesterday morning in Volkers

elected, with representatives from
every floor. However, afterwards it
appeared that some threacherous
clements had slipped into the COM

The election of the strike commit
tee was at the advice of the Food

ers then had picketing demonstra-
ton in front Of the plant.

Later in the day, the gangsters held

some of the workers to it by force,
and appointed their own strike COM
mittee, which disputes leadership Of
the strike with the first strike COM

The Food Workers Industrial
Union has learned that the Loft

The workers OF Lofts must be de-

to make permanent racket for
themselves and put their trust only
in their own committee, elected by
