Cass and Lame up from the station

Peonies bloomed in the dooryards
and there were great clurnps of

France Now Entering Severe Crisis;
Unemployed Past A Million; Bosses
Increase War Moves Against USSR
N. Y. Tribune Correspondent Says Labor Dept
Hid Unemployment Figures; Basic
Industries Slump

Behind the French imperialists'
frenzied plans for war against the
Soviet Union is the fact that the
world economic crisis of capitalism
is now reaching deeply into France.
When the crisis first shook the
United States, along with many other
capitalist countries, it did not imme-
diately express itself so sharply in
France. Soon signs of the approach
ing storm were visible there. Now
the storm is beginning to lash France.
Unemployment is growing. There
were bank crashes.
From Paris comes the cable news
that the crisis in France is approach
ing tremendous depths. This is not
only important for France, but it
means that the world crisis is broad
ening out. There will be another
factor worsening the world crisis.
The New York Tribune correspon-
dent in Paris, James Ninifie, in last
Sundays issue of that paper writes:
"The fear that France may be
facing one of the greatest crises in
her economic history is gaining
ground here, pushing into the back
ground the facile optimism engen-
dered by her twelve months resist
ance to the world depression"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-02-11

He goes on to quote facts. Lower
steel production, less coal produced,
increasing unemployment. AS far as
unemployment is concerned, the
French government has followed the
lead OF the American capitalists.
They have lied about unemployment.
They doetored their figures to cover
it up. But new light is being thrown
on the growth of unemployment in
France. Minifie reports that sit is
learned confidentially that Minister
Of Labor Landry computed a figure
of $50 900 out of work, rising to
100000 when the part-timers are
included"
The official figures give only %, ass
out Of work, But we learn differently
now. The world army of 25,0oo,ooO
unemployed is recruiting new millions
in France.
This is why the pressure for war
against "Bolshevism No wonder the
imperialistS in France spend $780,
100000 to arm Poland, JugosIavia and
Rumania, Where formerly the war
danger against the Soviet Union,
through French sources, was great,
today it is tremendous. and with the
development of the crisis in France
1t will grow by leaps and bounds.

man" said the delegation, "as well as
any so-called distinguished visitor. :"
Then the sergeant of arms was told
that the delegation demanded to see
Speaker Longworth of the house, and
that it do not want to carry on any
further conversations with the SER
geant at arms.
Agents Of insurgent senators, re-
publicans and democrats, who wanted
to use the delegation for their own
political capital, spoke up saying the
delegation should come to the senate,
where they would get a hearing from
the senate. Then Congressman Beatty
Of Maine spoke up, seemingly as an
agent of Speaker Longworth, saying:
IF you are orderly we can arrange for
you to see the speaker, but only one
of the delegation can come along"
This was refused, the entire delega-
ton demanding the right to be pres
cnt. Congressman Beatty then left
for a conference with Longworth and
returned stating that Longworth
would not see the delegation because
the letter addressed to him was not
polite. 1t did not address him as
Your Honor" and that it was not
formal. He said the speaker felt in
suited at the brusque way the unem-
ployed demanded the right to speak
in congress.
This excuse of insult" said
Wagenknecht, sis just another means
to fool the workers and to keep them
from presenting their demands for
unemployment insurance. The entire
capitalist government is opposed to
unemployment insurance"
Then the entire delegation was sur
rounded by a Gordon of police, as we'll
as many secret service men who fol-
lowed them everywhere. They
marched over to the speakers office,
where they met the secretary of Long
worth. The delegation demanded the
floor of the house. The secretary an
swered: Impossible" Does this
mean the refusal on the part of the
speaker of the house to allow the
workers to speak in the name of TO-
100000 unemployed?" Wagenknecht
demanded. This right was definitely
refused.
Then the police showed the whole
delegation out of the secretary's Of
flee and out of the capitol building
They were escorted by the police from

ganda that promises to better this
condition, hence, Red agents will
probably thrive during the winter
months. This means civil disorders
Of increasing intensity. Peace Off
GERS, in most cities, know but little
regarding the employment of chem
zeal agents in dispensing mobs.
Cur National Guard units are but
little better off-at least in practice.
Carrying the study still further,
how many regular army men
commissioned and enlisted-aetu-
ally know how TO employ chemicals
in a mob situation? Many in theory
but comparatively few who &C
tually know how to use the chemi-
cal agent or operate the chemical
weapon employing such agents.
Surprising mob gets beyond
control and federal troops are called
in to handle the situation. Will
they know what to do with chemi-
icals, or will they be compelled to
resort to the rifle and machine gun
thus intensifying the mob spirit
and probably killing or injuring
number Of citizens that have been
temporarily misled? An exam
nation of the last official station
list disclosed the fact that all our
chemical troops, within the terri
torial limits of the United States,
are now divided between two sta
tons, Edgcwood Arsenal and Fort
Bcnning-two stations that are the
least likely to be near civil disor-
ders. Form their present location,
these troops are about as c0nyen-
iently placed as they would be in
General Headquarters in war time
-. In many situations, a trained
chemical detachment assisting the
national guard troops would be all
that would be necessary TO quel
local disorders. This unit could be
used to train and to demonstrate
to peace officials the proper employ
ment of chemical agents, with a
result that there would be less pro-
liability of state calls for federal
aid"
Thus we see that not only are clubs
and blackjacks being prepared fol-
the unemployed who demand bread
but also poison gas and machint guns
This is the bosses answer to the
100000 starving men and women
in the United States.

were forcibly elected from the Capitol
Building.
At the morning session of the con-
ferences of the 140 delegates it was
decided to divide the delegation into
two sections. A delegation of Is was
sent to visit the House to demand
the floor, and the larger delegation
went to the visitors gallery. The large
delegation entered the visitors gallery
at II noon. Many were not admitted
because they we're not dressed prop
erly"--they were unemployed workers
poorly clothed. Others were refused
admittance because they were sus-
pected of being Communists"
The delegation of Is went to the
House at one O'Clock in the afternoon
and were met on the capitol grounds
by large police force and by secret
service men. The officers told the
delegation to go to the office of the
seargent of arms of the house. The
delegates were escorted there by a
large Gordon of police, inside of the
capitol building. Some dressed as
workers were not admitted.
The sergeant of arms informed the
delegation he would receive whatever
petition they had. The spokesman
for the delegation, Alfred Wagon
knecht, Sam Nesin, Sol Harper, Negro

The sergeant at arms stated no one

I it was only for congressman. The
delegation replied that the president
and Congress had been sent letters,
addressing Congress and demanding
the right to present the demands of
the 100000 unemployed. The serge
ant at arms answered that Congress
honors only distinguished visitors by
adjourning for half an hour.
