The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-01-17
By THEODORE DRESSER

The right to revolution, in America
as elsewhere, depends entirely on who
wants the change in government. Ger
tainly bouffe revolution can be
staged-as it just recently has been
in Panama-apparently for no other
reason than that American banks and
corporations were not satisfied with
the existing government. Yet if
Americans, Shaving in mills ten and
twelve hours day, criticize the Uni
ted States government because every
thing is so tied up that the laborer
receives only starvation wage, the
criticism is "seditious" and brings
with it a prison sentence for as long
as forty years. The worthiness of the
cause or the number of people the
cause in question affects, has nothing
to do with the right to revolution.
That is, as usual, merely privilege
of the powerful.
In Panama revolution to install
as provisional president a certain
Harmedio Arias is quite all right.
Why? Because DR.. AriaS is the lead
ing lawyer down there for the large
American banks and corporations
Besides, DR.. Arias is a man who can
point out all of the "purest senti-
ments of patriotism" which prompted

jobs are on part-time and starvation
wages. Practically nothing is being
done for the hungry.
The Newark Campaign Committee
for Unemployment Relief will put
forward the demands against evic-
tons, for free food and clothing for
the children of jobless workers. free
use of empty apartments, free gas,
electricity, and coal for jobless fam
lilies, etc.
A report to the conference will be
made by Sam Nesin of the Unem-
ployed Councils of New York.
All workers are invited to attend
this conference. Besides NesSin there
will be report by Kasper ct. U. u.
L, organizer and secretary of the con-
ference) on the work of the commit
tee in the unemployment campaign.
Harry Martin of the Workers Inter
national Relief will address the con-
ference in connection with the relief
work for the hunger march of the
jobless.

Theodore Dresser, Author, Defends
the Right to Revolution OF Masses

MED One thing we do know, though,
and that is that it was supported by
the Panama Railroad which refused
to transport the five hundred police
to Panama City from Governor Ga
Undo of Colon, to put down the re-
volt.
OF course, no one is supposed to
see the Negro in the Woodpile. 'Ihe
American people In particular are
supposed to think nothing of the
fact that Panama's whole financial
policy was mapped out a short time
ago by Vice-President George E.
Roberts of the National City Bank
of New York. Or that, because Of
threats of strike among school teach
ers and public servants generally over
reduced wages, the overturned pres
ident of Panama, AroSemena, was I'M
able to hold to this policy dictated
by the National City Bank Of New
York, and so was no longer useful
And can it be meaningless that the
revolutionists guarded first the doors
Of the Chase National Bank and the
National City Bank?
Even a newspaper as conservative
as the New York Times says editorial
ly that certain phases of the revo-
luton in Panama should be read with
uncommon interest. They should!

WAR COMING

KENWORTHY
U. S. Spends Billion
in One Year; But
Jobless Starve

A war involving the leading i'm
perialist powers, and especially Brit
ain and the United States, is newt
able next year in the event of the
failure of the so-called world dis
armament conference. was the ad-
mission made Thursday by Com
nander J. M. Kenworthy, Labor
member of the British parliament in
3 speech before the American Cor
respondents Association. All the
boss powers are rushing to war thru
increased ornaments and growing
struggle for world trade. said Ken
worthy, and he implied that the La
Dor government, if in power, would
carry forward this war.
After pointing out that the rivalries
between Britain and the United
States for the control of the seas in
furtherance of their trade against
each other is the major issue driving
toward war, Kenworthy said that this
fact has consciously been hidden in
the press. He went on to state:
"If we enter this world conference
without the right preparation and
understanding on certain salient
questions, 1t will be failure. Such
failure would be the greatest dis
aster since the outbreak of the
World War in 1914. Why? Because
it would mean:-Qf An intensified
competition In ornaments, espe-
cially on the continent of Europe,
~ An irresistible demand on Ger
many to break through the inhibi-
ions of the treaty of Versailles and
increase her ornaments, (3l An
other great war in Europe. which
would almost certainly spread to
other continents"

ly preparing for this war. The So

$l00,000,000 robbery of the depositors

States is on the inside is shown by
the fact revealed Thursday night that
he was tipped off the day before the
bank closed, and that his wife with
drew between $4,000 and $4,000 out
of the bank. Steuer also made money
on stock deals.
The much-promised report on the
condition of the bank has not been
issued by the State Superintendent OF
Banks, Broderick, Tammany hench-
man. BroderiCk promised an early
report" He hasn't had time to fix
up the books to hide the big steal
yet. so he isn't giving out any in

since the bank closed. Not one
penny has been paid out, and Steuer
is working on cheme promising so

matter is the internal condition of
the bank is SO rotten that the small
dcpositors. of whom there are over
100000 will not see one cent unless
they organize and carry on mass ac-
ton to force the return of the money
stolen from them.

DECLINE IN STOCK
MARKET RESUMES
New Low Prices Recorded
on Reaction, but Volume
=
Is Lighter.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Dianatch tn The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 8.-The decline in
the stock market was resumed today,
with new lows on the reaction. The
morning hours had seen a moderate
amount of short covering and little
better price range, but In the afternoon
the selling reappeared.
The low prices were made in the last
hour, when United States Steel sold
under anything seen since June %,
which was the day that formal an
nouncement was made OF President
Hoover's plan for the relief Of Ger
many, The weakness in steel was ac-
companied by renewed discussion Of the
safety of the dividend.
Although the market went lower than
on Tuesday, the volume was lighter
Liquidation was not so pressing as It
had been on the day before and from
showed. Motor stocks made the best
showing as a group.
The overnight selling was not In
large volume considering the extent
of Tuesdays decline. Presumably there
were margin calls, but they could not
have been numerous. The fact Is that
shoeString spectators have been pretty
well eliminated and that remaining ac-
counts are too well protected to involve
much forced selling. Some voluntary
liquidation did take place, and that
accounted for the declines in the first
hour.
A new low on the reaction was made
by United States Steel under 500 a
share Directors meet on July % for
dividend action and there is, of course,
a possibility the rate will be reduced.
The best informed opinion today was
that there would be no cut at this time.
but there was enough doubt about it to
hold down stocks. The weekly trade
reviews told of another loss in the oper-
ating rate, now put at 80 per cent,
against 35 per cent a week ago, but ex-
pressed the opinion that this was the
low point and that from now on there
would be improvement.
The Woolworth board ordered the
regular dividend on that stock. The
stock sold Off at the start, but soon
recovered all the lost ground. Prob
ably something extra will be disbursed
three months hence. Other dividend
announcements included the regular
rate on Continental Can and on Mich
igan Central and Big -Four, New York

marked reductions, compared with those
Of the same time last year These
reductions" he said, amount to as
much on certain fast-moving articles

in commodity prices late in 1929. Such
reductions cannot fail to show in COM

RAIN IMPROVES CROP
PROSPECTS IN CANADA

Crop and fodder prospects through
out the prairie provinces Of Canada
have been improved by the recent rain
fall, according to latest crop report Of
the Bank of Montreal. Nevertheless,
drought has seriously damaged the
crop over large areas Of Saskatchewan
and Manitoba and at best only very
light crop can be expected in these dis
tricts. In Quebec all crops continue to
progress satisfactorily Hay cutting has
begun in some sections; indications
point to a heavy crop of good quality.
In Ontario, with continued warm
weather and frequent rains, all crops
have made excellent progress. In the
Maritime Provinces conditions generally
have been favorable to growth and all
crops are in good condition. In Brit
ish Columbia heavy rains have been
general and have caused much damage
to the strawberry crop. and in lesser
degree to the cherry, raspberry and To-
cranberry crops.
