Peasants and Pheasants


Even the Red Cross has admitted that there
are now about 100000 farmers and their fam
lies starving. The cause is supposed to be
drouth, but the farmers themselves when they
think it over know that back of the droutll
there are long ye"rs of robber rents, usurious
mortgages and loans, high taxes and monopoly
thievery of all kinds that reduced them to the
poverty stricken condition familiar to peasants
throughout the world.
In fact they are peasants. and starving peas
ants at that Mr.. Hoover and his Farm Board
have done about everything possible to see that
they starve, and nobody is more hostile to pro-
posals that the government feed these peasants
than Mr.. Hoover; although all the little Hooyers
in America are likewise shivering at the thought
that the wicked Communists are demanding
such thing.
Now just chew over that, while you read the
following from the N. Y. Times OF JAN %:
Albany, N. Y.-Four tons of grain will be
ordered for the pheasants Of Central New
York, Gu, off from their natural food supply
because of deep SHOWS. Conservation Commits
sioner Morgenthau has directed LlewelIyn Legge,
chief of the Division of Fish and Game, to pur-
chase the grain"
You see, it's this way: Capitalist sportsmen
wish to shoot pheasants, so the pheasants must
be kept alive. They haven't started shooting
peasants yet, so they let, EN- die and save am
muniton.

They Do 1t Better in Frisco

In New York the official city thieves are fire.
quently put to lot Of trouble stealing money
enough to buy or build house or houses. Out
in Frisco they wait till the house is built and
then walk off with it.
1t seems that the city of San Francisco owned
two houses, one at 1913 Roanoke Street. and an
other at Culver Street. Back on April 4, 1923,
the CITY nabobs decided to sell the property.
So the city fiscal agent, who seems to have
charge of little matters of graft in that city,
like district Tammany leader in New York
only much more centralized, advertised for bids
No bids were received up to June 49, 1928, but
only now it turns out from grand jury In
vestigaton, that in those two months sometime,
the two houses just vanished from the land on
which they stood! -..~~-
No, it was not the Frisco earthquake That
was back in 1906. But two full grown houses
have simply walked off and. hid somewhere and
the stability of the home is shaken throughout
California.
Ham Fish, the famous~horse doctor of jackass
Investigations should be called in. Doubtless he
will find red agents" stole the houses and
moved them over to Vladivostok. But we have
an idea that Mr.. Mulrooney should engage
Frisco's fiscal AGENT as Chief Inspector OF
Police .--~----

TEN WORKERS IN JAIL OR

the last imperialst slaughter. Bogusloff will be
tried Feb. and Soghomanian, an Armenian
worker on Feb. 5.
The frame-up that time-honored American
institution, has not been forgotten by the CAPT.

Of the unemployed. Alex Zaroff and D. Boschi
two workers. arrested at an unemployed meeting
in Manhattan Lyceum Jan. s, are now threatened
with long jail terms on charges of felonious as
sault as the result Of a deliberate frameup by
the police Prior to the Manhattan Iyceum
meeting the police had attacked a group of I'M
employed workers outside the hall: the workers
defended themselves bravely and gave as good
as they received. The police, bent on revenge,
later invaded the meeting singled out two work
ers at random, zaroff and Boschi and accused
the workers of attacking them. Zaroff and
Boschi are now out on $4,000 bail, provided by
the New York LID. they will be tried in Gen

Not only in New York City but in nearby
towns in the New York district the terror against
the unemployed gathers momentum daily. In

such as free speech and assenlblage have been
dumped overheard. Milton WEIGH and Nathan

demonstration on Jan. 10 and charged with
disord,rly conduct
The bosses terror against the unemployed
workers can be smashed only by the workers,
both .nployed and unemployed. themselves It
can be smashed by fighting more miltantly

A New Patrick Henry
By JORGE

He was only murderer, maybe, but that gave
the judge no reason for inflicting the cruel II
not unusual punishment upon him of listening
to string of Pollyanna hokun. .
1t was in the Supreme Court at White Plains,
N. " on Jan. g. when Judge George, H. Taylor
was beginning to pronounce the death sentence
on Harry Lipschitz u years old, Sing Sing
prisoner who stabbed another prisoner to death
in the prison yard.
Lipschits looked the Judge in the eye as the
judge, probably aware of the fact that he was
as much of a criminal as the prisoner before,
cleared his throat to sentence Iipschitz to the
electric chair. Judge Taylor began:
at is regrettable that youth of your age,
in this country of great opportunity -. :"
Here, Lipschitz cut in with:

I'll take it for granted. Go ahead and sem

Really, he should have called up Patrick Hem

Give me liberty or give me death; but don't
give me any great opportunity hokum!"

BLACKJACK and jail-these are the real rem
~ edies' of the capitalist class for unemploy-
ment. Workers who refuse to Starve meekly
discover that the grating politicians are
acknowledging the existence Of such thing as
unenployment-by breaking up demonstrations
and throwing jebless demonstrators into Jail.
Nearly one year ago William z. Foster, Robert
Minor, Israel Amter and Harry Raymond were
arrested for leading the great March demon
stration. Since that time hundreds of workers
in the New York district have been beaten and
jailed for demanding immediate relief and I'M
employment insurance,
At the present time there are ten workers In
tire New York district either in prison or fac
ing prison for participating in unemployment
demonstrations All are being defended by the
New York District of the International Labor
Defense Harry Raymond his fighting spirit
undimmed still is in Harris Island waiting for
his release Feb 20. Will Sam Nesn, Milton
Stone and Robert Lealess get the same fate?
These three led the demonstration before City
Hall ON Oct. 16; because they told the Board
of Estimate few uncomfortable truths regard
ing the character of Tan1many judges, Mayor
Walker ordered them thrown out, following
which they were savagely beaten and arrested.
Like Foster, Minor Anlter and Raymond, the
three leaders Of the Oct. 16 demonstration
being charged with unlawful assembly. But they
face the additional charges of outraging public
decency and endangering public peace. And
like. Foster, Minor. Amter and Raymond, they
have been denied a jury trial and will be tried
before three loyal Tammany henchmen in Spe-
cial Sessions Court on Feb Is. Workers, you
must act to save Nesin, Stone and Lealess!
Felonious assault is the charge brought against
serop soghomanian and Isidore Bogusloff for
being beaten up by police during the hunger
march of Jan. 20. Bogusloff was not even
demonstration, but only bystander while Sog-

Under the fascist dictatorship the economic crisis
upon the background of the general crisis of
capitalism, became still more intense and shat

The social forces are clashing still deeper and

A Good Letter From
Myrtle Point

No, dear reader, Myrtle Point is not the name
OF girl, but of a so-called chick town" way out
in Oregon. Doubtlessly, some of our rather
snobbsh sophisticates around New York would
turn up their noses if we said that some worker
out in Myrtle Point, Oregon, is more sharply
critical OF the political line of the Daily Worker
than they are
Nevertheless we opened a letter from Myrtle
Point the other day, and found the following:
Dear comrade: read an article in the Daily
Worker of JAN Is, by Upton Sinclair. have
been laboring under the impression that Upton
Sinclair was a member of the social fascists.
The article, California Glass War Prisoners
has some good points in 1t. but it is written
from the attitude Of a socialist He saws. for
instance, we have number Of class war pris-
onerS IN California. and our treatment OF poll
tical prisoners is entirely caous
please explain this. know Mr., Sinclair was
socialist last November for he ran for governor
as such, and from the tone Of the article be-
hevc ne is still one. Has the Daily Worker de-
cided to print articles by socialists without COM
ment? Conradely yours.-=M w. S."
We think that tits really fine to get a letter
IKE this, showing that the worker readers Of
the Daily examine its contents with a keen
proletarian eye. Certainly Upton Sinclair ia not
Communist and on the contrary is d member
of the social fascist Socialist party. But when
he is willing to raise his voice for the release
OF all class war prisoners, we would be doing an
III service if we rejected his contribution to the
end desired. Asn
Net all of the class war prisoners are Com
munists yet we fight for them and rally all
possible support, without ceasing at the same
time to criticize the anarchist or syndcalist or

and purpose in politics and economies the rule
of action and fe" IF this civilization capital
ISM is not to pass in the way of other world
civilizations"
Are these words any different from the words
used by Wilson in his call to capture Commu-
nism from the Communists? In fact to make
the analogy even more complete, Madden also
appeals" to Marx. According to the report of
Maddens speech in the New York Times of Jan.
"a, Madden said 80 far as an organization
was concerned, this was indistinguishahle from
the state visioned by Karl Marx, with govern
ment ownership of the means of production
Both Madden and Wilson say the same thing
dictated by the same objective conditions and
the same class interests. The only difference is
that Wilson conceals his support of capitalism
behind Communist" phrases while Madden
does not.
If Wilson is not original in calling for organ
lied capitalism, neither is he original in his
plans to save the masses from Communism. In
both instances, he is doomed to plagiarism from
his capitalist masters, which merely reveals the
class derivation of his proposals.
The necessity of saving the masses from the
Communists was felt and acted upon by Will
sons twentieth century American capitalists long
before Wilson even thought of his clever idea
These capitalists who are kinder and more DEM
ocratic than the landlords of the feIdal ages
not only interviewed once, but are preparing to
intervene again in one more supreme effort to
rescue the poor Russian masses from the Rus
sian Communists by force of arms Not only do
we see no difference in the aims of Wilson and
his capitalists, but we actually begin to under
stand why these capitalists seem so much kinder
and more democratic in wilson's eyes
What does all this really prove? 1t proves
that objective events are steadily showing the
correctness Of Marxism to Tire masses. Mr. Will
son has turned to capturing Communism from
the Communists only because in the life of the
masses the issue everywhere is sharpening into
the issue of capitalism or Communism; because
capitalism is ION trial; because the Fve-Year
Plan and the Soviet Union is living example
to millions Of the only way out of their misery.
You say you want, you must, take Commu-
nisrn away from the Communists? Very well,
Mr.. Wilson, we Marxists are practical people.
We are not interested in what people say about
themselves but in what they do But now,
really, MI. Wilson, are you serious?

THE RENECADES ARE LOSING
EVERYWHERE

ms time 1t is Comrade S. Ingberg, of Phia-
delphia, who has come to recognize the real
counter-revolutionary face of the Lovestone rem
egades behind their mask of revolutionary
phrases and sham pretenses Of loyalty to
Leninisn.
In his application for re-admisson, Comrade
Ingberg states
Il completely associate myself from the rene
gade Lovestone group of which, to my deep re-
greet, was member for some time
During that period have seen that these
renegades have continuously pursued line
which places them in the ranks Of all the enc
mics of the working class and of the revolu-
tionary labor movement. Especially have I seen
their betrayal in the fact that they viciously
fight our revolutionary trade unions and their
center, the Trade Union Unity League. This
opened my eyes to every phase of their disrup-
tive activities
Declaring my desire to join again The ranks of
the Communist Party of which had been a
member for two years, I want to stress that /
am in perfect agreement with the line of strug-
gle which the Party is pursuing. I condemn
the renegade Lovestone group as traitors to the
interests of the working class, traitors to the
Communist International and to the Communist
Party in this country.
call on every worker to ttfrn away from the
renegades and to give their full support to the
only Party of the American working class-the
Communist Party of the U.S.A. section of the
Communist International"
In hearing before the District Control Com
mission, Comrade Ingberg further stated that
he had stopped attending the meetings of the
renegades some months ago, when he had
noticed that in the election campaign the Love-
stoneites were fighting against the Communist
Party candidates.
The re-admission of Comrade S, Ingberg has

Compared with the era Of the
founders the time in reaching
Europe is trifiing. We could
not at this period be isola-
tionists even if we so desired.
Take, for instance, financial
obligations. The nations of
Europe owe the United States
more than two hundred and
forty-siX millions. And the
moratorium has been declared
on this amount. Of this gi-
gantic sum Great Britain ow-
es well on to one hundred and
sixty millions and France
owes fifty millions. So the
greater part of the indebted
ness is from these two coun-
tries.
We must Through neces-
sity, have close relations with
Europe, and we have practical
reasons, as well as humanitar-
an, for desiring peace and
good will in Europe. War
would effect us adversely, and
'or that matter it does all
nations.
