Fish Lectures to JObless

This is a surprising title, and we hasten to
explain that the 'idle"--as the capitalist press
terms the unemployed consists OF the very best
society wintering at Palm Beach.
1t seems that the high-brows among the "for-
eign immigrants from New York, Boston ana
Philadelphia, have Current Events Lecture
Series at Palm Beach.
So all the unemployed millionaires their wives.
haridmaiis and concubines are due to be told all
about sthe activities Of Soviet Russia" by Mr..
Fish. Fish like all his flnny brethren, being cold
booded,. likes to swim in tropical waters.
incidentally, we saw an interesting picture OF
the Farmer Labor" gentleman Mr.. Shipstead,
enjoying the beach at Miami in nifty bathing
suit, perched under beach umbrella. The
picture appeared in the N. Y. Times Of January
II. and it seems that even Farmer-Labor fish
prefer the sunny south and the company Of mil
lionaires, who are idle" rather than the unem-
ployed of the cold North.

Got Any Arms?
By JORGE

This will introduce you to Mrs. Lowell Fletcher
Hobart, national president of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, who are dead-set agin
any more revolutions
The good lady, in speech telling how hoHaae
were being busted up in America--llot by
the landlords evicting jobless tenants for nom
payment of rent, no, of course notl--but "by
Communism; the good lady, we repeat, got this
one off her chest
1.-The army restores peace when governments
and peoples have broken It," Which is right
funny. According to this, If Hoover should de-
clare war, let's say, on England, the army would
take over all the seaports, to prevent the absurd
government and the war-crazy people from
rushing over to Liverpool to make war. How
ever, the lady got off better one:
There is little need to call upon this country
to dsarm. We have few arms to take Off"
Um. couple of arms and pair of Leg
each.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-01-16

the comrades ran ahead another group remained
in the middle and hundreds of workers did not
follow the march for the only reason thatitwas
unorganized.
The Defense Corps we're simply not visible The
Defense Corps must be on the job not only in
cese Of an open clash with the police and other
forces of the capitalist state machinery 1t would
have been the duty of the Defense Corps to or
ganize these marches II there was not any De-
Tense Corps, it would have been the duty Of the
Party members to organize the march. Instead
the comrades spoke with their friends went along
the mile route in groups and the whole march
looked everything but a Hunger Demonstration
No Literature at Hand.
Along the line Of march the marchers passed
thousands OF workers. These workers did not
know who these marching workers were. It is
true there were few signs carried with slogans
but this was not SUFFICIENT. N
There was no Literature at hand to be sold OF
to be distributed; not even leaflets. Only the
Daily Worker was sold. =
No Negro Workers in the Demonstration.
1t was very outstanding that there were no Ne
gro workers either in the march, or in the dem
onstration. This means that the Unemployed
Councils and the Party units did not penetrate
as yet the Negro workers Of the Bronx which
must be corrected without delay, with every day
systematic work. 'f8
No Application Cards 1t Hand.
After the demonstration when the workers
marched into Hall to organise new Unera-
ployed Council and to enlist those who were not
members as yet, became evident that those in
charge did not prepare themselves for this even
tuality. they were sure that the demonstration
would be broken up by the police they did not
have application cards at hand and the workers
had to wait for a quarter Of an hour till some
cards were secured. This is very bad, for the
workers we're quite restless being tired from tho
demonstration. This small" matter is very i'm
portant and close attention must b given TO It.

Lessons of the Hunger Demon
stration in the Bronx

ONCE the beginning of the present economic
criss of capitalism, the first mass demonstra-
ton took place against unemployment for imme-
date relief in the Borough of Bronx on Thurs
day, January g.
1t is important that we shall examine the mis-
takes and shortcomings of this demonstration SO
that we shall be able to eliminate and overcome
them, In order not to commit the same mistakes
again and be better able to mobilize the en-
ployd and unemployed workers for the coming
struggles.
No Organized Unemployed Councils.
Those present at the demonstration and at the
meetings previous to the demonstration, noticed
Immediately that there is no organized force with
mass support that arranges the demonstration
Ninety-nine per cent of the speakers were
Party members and those attending the meet
ings were either Party members or workers
mostly unemployed-who were attracted while
the meetings were going on
IN spite Of the fact that Unemployed Coun-
ellis were active for the last few weeks in the
Borough they could not mobilize any workers
previous to the demonstration. 1t means that
the activity Of the existing Unemployed Council
was inadequate and incorrect.
Speakers Disorganized
The speakers and there were about ten at
one of the meetngs--said almost the very same
thing. Touched upon every question but did not
elaborate on one Of them. In order to avoid
this outlines shall be prepared by the District
Agit-Prop Dept. Every speaker shall touch only
one phase Of the question, the necessity Of the
unity Of white and Negro, the role Of the Fish
Committee ETC., and elaborate on this question
only, plus mention the accomplishments Of the
Unemployed Council. The Bronx Unemployed
Council for instance, prevented the eviction Of
two Of its members. This fact has to be mem
toned by each and every speaker.
Disorganize March
According to the plan, the workers marched
frUm the meeting to another. But this plan was
sazried out IN An impszmissibls vaH some =

LONDON, August 49, - Winston
Churchill, former Conse .vative chan
cellor of the exchequer was protesting
yesterday the refusal OF the British
Broadcasting Corporation to ALLOW him
to discuss the Indian problem or the
air
John Whitley, chairman Of the cor
poration and once speaker Of the House
OF Commons. barred Churchill from
the radio on the ground that I'm view
of the delicacy of the Indian situation,
further talks on India are undesirable
at present"
MI Churchill a strong opponent OF
the Labor governments policies in In
dia, accused MI. Whitley in a letter Ot
"sterilizing or uneveply applying this
new and valuable facility given by SCI
ence" in issuing the ban
Whitley was assuming q serious re-
sponsibility, he wrote in refusing TO
allow him to warn the ration of the
enormous perils approaching 1t in India.
The governments attempt to prevent
fair public discussion, to which I am
grieved to see you lend yourself, can
only succeed in casting disrespect on
broadcasting"

10 TOWNS UNDER
WATER IN MEXICO.
5000 Families Roam Noun
tains, Living on Roots
and Herbs.
BY Gable to The Star.

~ Gable to The Star.
MEXICO CITY, August 13-Press
dispatches from Tampico indicate that
the flood in the Mexican State OF Ia
maulipas, due to the overlooking of the
Panuco River has reached disastrous
proportions. Sixteen towns are reported
to be completely covered by water, and
an estimated 5000 families are home
less and roaming in the mountains,
foodless and living on roots and herbs.
At Miravegas 400 persons are still
stranded on the Tools of dwellings
watching the water slowly rising. These
victims are. perhaps. doomed because
prevailing conditions make rescue WORK
most difficult.
A heavy storm has aggravated the
situation, increasing the waters of the
swollen Panuco, which has been trans
formed into a ravaging torrent uproot-
ing trees, inundating new sections and
devastating agricultural lands.
Mexican authorities are unable to
cope with the situation while the wa
ters are steadily advancing, more towns
are threatened and their inhabitants
are abandoning their homes and rush
ing to higher lands.
The Governor OF Tamaulipas is per-
sonally conducting relief which is in
sufficient due to lack of foodStuffS,
medicinal supplies, clothing and funds.
The captain Ct one CT the relief
bargss brings narrowing tales regarding
the prec3rious situation OF the victims.
Emaciated men, women and children
everywhere are imp,oring fcr food and
in some places the people have been
foodless fer a whole week.
Thievery has broken loose and bands
of starving men are Iobbing farms or
villages that have been partly or to-
tally evacuated and also attacking
groups Of refugees IN the highways.
In Tampico conditions are also seri-
Gus because a large portion of the city
is flooded, with the waters still rising.
