French eXploiters that the Five
Year Plan is already a success, that
it will go over at least Is to 30 per
cent.
BRAND gets buster to form his anti
Soviet bloc. Money is rushed to Pol
and, Yugoslayia and Runania, to boil
ster up the anti-Soviet front. The
naval treaty is signed between Italy
and France, directed against the So
Wet Union. The Herald Tribune
quotes one of the French senators as
making the following statement:
Lets hope that European nations
will understand the danger with
which they are confronted and the
necessity to put an end to it. The
economic salvation>of old Europe is at
stake"
They want to put an end to the
Soviet Union and do it in a hurry.
The economic crisis is rapidly engulf-
ing France. The French imperiahsts
have been struck heavy blow by the
Smash-up of the interventionist IN
dustrial Party in the Soviet Union.
They desire war now more than ever.
They look for an imperialist alliance
whose sole aim is to wipe out the
workers state in sea of blood.
Andre Tardieu, Minister of Agri-
culture, and former Premier, pleads
for this united anti-Soviet war front.
''The economic situation of all the
countries requires a common debate
on Russian policy. The danger must
be looked fully in the face"
The imperialists need not debate on
their attitude toward the Soviet
Union. On this they are agreed.
What Tardieu means is that the i'm
perialists need discuss the actually Of
war and the spoils of that war; how
important it is in the face of the ris-
ing revolutionary temper of the work
ing masses in the capitalist countries
in the face of the advance of Social
ism in the U,S.SR. and increasing un-
employment in the capitalist lands.

are joining the National Lumber
Workers Union. There is also q
branch Of the LID, here, which is
progressing rapidly.
The workers here are very young
and are very militant They have
become very active and are not dis
appointed at the wage cuts which
are being given them as hope of
the bosses that they will quit them
selves, since they are afraid to fire
any more. But these workers are
not being biuffed, they have realized
the necessity for a class struggle.
They say they will continue to fight
for the working class and are using
the Daily Worker as a method of Or
ganization, since it has helped Or
ganize so many workers here. They
realize that the Daily Worker is the
only working class paper.

VOLUNTEERS
KEEP BEST FOOD
Instead Give Away
Cheaper Food

CHICAGO, Ill.-The Volunteers of
America runs a big soup line at
1854 Madison. This is just as much
a racket, as Capone's business" The
soup line is in charge of major
O'Neil. She uses Radio Station WIS
to appeal to workers, farmers, etc.
to send food and clothing to the
Volunteers, SO they can give it away
to the unemployed. But this woman
doesn't do it. She takes the best
food that comes from all over, and
don't think she uses it for the I'M
employed on the soup lines. She
takes it to her home or to club
hoM es run by the Volunteers of AM
erica, where the people pay plenty
of money for board.
On December 81, 1880, they took
Is chickens and Is jars of home
made jelly, sent in by some farmer
to 504 Ashland, and on February .,
they took 100 lbs. of potatoes and
100 lbs. sugar to sol Ashland, which
is club for girls. This food was
sent in for the unemployed, but is
used to make profits for the grafters,
of the Volunteers of America, while
those on the soup lines get mushy
food.
This shows us the graft and COR
ruption in the charity racket. We
workers must smash the bosses char
ity racket and fight for real unem-
ployment relief. ..,.-

the ways the bosses try to spread
terrorism among the workers. They
try to prevent the organization of
the workers here, but the workers
realize that the wage cuts are made
as q result of capitalist exploitation
and are organizing themselves. They

but this figure merely indicates dropping last
weeks special orders of 5000 The same can
be said Of District 2, New York, which shows a
decrease of 744, resulting from a drop in extra
orders. District 8, Chicago, comes next with
loss Of 279, for which a cut of 100 daily in the
Chicago Red Builders order is largely respon-
sible.
DIST 6, CLEVELAND, SHOWS
OUTSTANDING GAIN FOR WEEK
For two consecutive weeks, Cleveland shows
the highest gain in circulation This weeks
gain is 1873, of which only So is due to special
orders. The gain for District comes largely
from the district page which they now receive
regularly.

DISTRICTS SATISFIED
WITH WEEKLY PAGE
Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleveland have al
ready reported satisfaction with their weekly
issues and are regularly sending in vital news,
exposing the city and state administrations ar
ticles on conferences and mass meetings, and
lively worker correspondence which would other
wise be left out for lack of space Pittsburgh
will receive its first weekly edition Monday
March 20. The offer, four columns of space for
1000 extra copies at So thousand, should be
taken without delay by such important districts
as California, Seattle and Detroit. Smaller dis
tricts may have their district pages of two coll
urnns Of space on the basis of 1000 extra cop
les, and we look to Denver, Butte, Birmingham
Connecticut, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Buffalo
and Boston to consider this method for gaining
contacts which will develop into permanent cir
culation and for the revolutionary movement
i as well.

Opposition Grows
The decision to cash in on the
properties of the organization and
retreat to London to enjoy the spoils
was Garvey's answer to these de-
mands for his resignation. This deci-
sion has aroused the fiercest oppo-
sition in the island, both on the part

The disintegration of the GarYes
Movement began long before Marcus
Garvey was sent to Atlanta Prison.
The process of disintegration speed
UP while he was in prison and re-
eeived great impetus when upon his
release and deportation he removed
the headquarters to Jamaica in pur-
suance of his policy of keeping the
organization in his pocket The
breakup was further aggravated as
a result Of the economic crisis and
the increased sufferings of Negro
masses. Thousands of members see

The removal of headquarters to ia

The bosses want the workers to hate

TWO PRIZE DISTRICTS
TIVE PRIZE DISTRICTS

The two prize districts in the campaign thus
far have been Kansas City, which now leads all
districts with 1874 per cent of its quota reached
and Denver which has reached 1877 per cent.
Both districts have done excellent work and will
probably continue to increase orders, as they
have challenged each other in revolutionary
competition.
The next leaders in the drive are District IL,
Seattle, which gained SO per cent of its quota;
District 8, Philadelphia, which reached "a per
cent of it's quota, and District 6, Cleveland,
which attained 50 per cent of its quota. Other
districts above the average of 40 per cent are
District g. Chicago. SO per cent, and District is.

In the tri-dstriet contest Philadelphia for
the first time has passed Chicago, leaving
Detroit in third place. Philadelphia has
gained 1850, or GA per cent of its quota; Chi

DEMOCRATS ON
WET-DRY fence
congressman Await Replies
to RaSkob QUESTIONABLE.

By Scripps-HOUGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Demo-
cratic congressman at odds over
the advisability of making prohibi-
ton repeal one of the major issues
in the next presidential campaign,
are looking to the meeting Of the
Democratic national committee Jan.
9 to determine their attitude in
congress.
John J. Raskob, chairman Of the
national committee, has undertaken
to learn just how the rank and file
of the party feel on prohibition re-
peal. He now is receiving answers
to a QUESTIONABLE sent to $3.50
contributors to the 1923 campaign
fund.
He requested yes or no" answers
to seven questions. The first asked
whether the Democratic platform
should contain definite declara-
ton on the subject. The second was
whether the platform should COM
nit Democratic senators and con-
gressmen to vote for resubmiSsion
of the amendment to a popular
vote.
The final question inquiries
whether the Democratic party "can
successfully ignore the prohibition
question with its economic problems
by remaining silent or by adopting
a mere law enforcement plank as
was done in the 1928 eonvention?"
