YOKINEN PROTEST

Govt Trying to Rush
Deportation

NEW YORK-Workers of New

ming the new attempt of the U. S.
government to rush through the de-

en- has been ordered to report to Ellis
Island this Friday for deportation to
fascist Finland on Saturday.
The protest meeting will be held
at the New Harlem Casino, 10th

All workers are urged to turn out
to register their protest against this
attempt of the government to punish
Yokinen for his action in repudiat-
ing the race hatred poison of the
bosses and supporting the struggles
of the Negro masses. Yokinen, who
has lived in this country for many
years, was not molested by the gov
eminent until few months ago
when expelled from the Communist
Party for white chauvinism, he re-
pudiated the boss poison of race
hatred and promised to conduct him
self so that he would be worthy of
re-admission to the Communist
Party, which carries on relentless
struggle against all forms of race
hatred and prejudice.

ADMIT PLANNING
IS IMPOSSIBLE
IN CAPITALISM

Two important speakers for the
bourgeoisie admitted Monday at the
Williamstown, Mass, Institute that
economic planning, such as the So
Wet Five Year Plan, is impossible in
the capitalist world. DR. William z.
Rappard of the Mandates Section of
the League of Nations stated that
economic planning in the authori-
tative Russian sense and liberalism
were mutually exclusive terms" If
the advantages and joys of freedom"
were to be maintained, he said, there
could be no planning. The iobIess
millions know that already. They
know the advantages and joys of
freedom" to starve, TO be evicted, to
be speeded up ever more in the shops
are not possible under planned
system such as the workers and peas

One of the speakers, Professor
Halcombe of Harvard, tried to sub
stantiate these lies by stating that
planning" had been going on for
years and years in the telephone and

HOOVER GOVT
SAYS NO FUNDS
FOR JOBLESS AID
Clifford Plans Terror
and Forced Levies

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. - Presi-
dent Hoover's Organization on IN
employment Relief, whose main OBJ
ject is to refuse relief and terrorize
the unemployed fighting for unem-
ployment insurance, went into action
today. Under the leadership of the
wage cutting expert, President Gift
ford of the American Telephone e.
Telegraph Co., a campaign to make
the usual charity work do as relief
was started. Clifford In a public
statement issued yesterday said that
no greater amount of relief" than
that required last year would be
asked for, and that most of the funds
would be gotten through "collec-
tions," that is, by forced levies on
those still at work.
That the Hoover government in
tends to cut down all public build
ing projects, as well as to refuse any
form of federal relief was the state
ment made by Representative Wood,
chairman of the House Appropria-
ton Committee, after visit to Hoo
yer at Camp Rapidan. The main
purpose, Wood pointed out, is to re-
lieve the rich of any further taxa
ton and to put greater burdens on
the workers. Wood went on to say:
1.-THE next Congress will greatly re-
duce appropriations. 1t will be nee
essary to scale down everything and
omit many projects"
War funds, however, will be in
creased.

Forty thousand fish have been

The salmon which had al

Thus capitalism is systemat-
