GERMAN SOCIALISTS READY
FOR PRESIDIAL CABINET

BERLIN, Nov. 20 (By MaiD The
governmental crisis in Germany is
still unsolved, but major social dem
ocratic contribution to STRENGTHENING
Hindenburg's plans for installing an
other fascist cabinet was made when
the "VorwaertS," central Socialist
daily, wrote yesterday:
"A Presidial Cabinet, supported
solely by the Pres dents confidence
and not having the support of the
Reichstag, will avoid conflict with
the Constitution only if it is found
that a government Reichstag ma
JOrity cannot be found for the pres
ent. Such PresidiaI Cabinet can
be brought about in two days:
either the President finds states
man of note who will get q ma ority
somehow Or other, or he resorts to
a bureaucratic cabinet which will
perform the functions absolutely
essential for the maintenance of
governmental activity
In other words, the Socialist leaders
are ready OF tolerate a presidial cab
met. Their "undying opposition" to
any "un-democratic" presidiaI cab
met shouted from the housetops dur
ing the election campaign boils down
now to what it really was-hot air to
deceive the workers. The Comlnu-
nists have always maintained that the
Socialists have been the most reliable
support for every fascist and semi
fascist government in Germany ever
since the war, and now we have the
proof OF that statement out of the
Socialists own mouths,

COLUMN Z
N. Y, ANTHRACITE

READING, Pa, Dec. 2.-Column
Z of the National Hunger March came
into Reading this afternoon with so
more delegates from the Lehigh VAL
ley, including delegates from many
Unemployed Councils, from the I'm
employed Citizens League, a Musteite
organization whose officials are
against National March, with -
delegates also from the Khagi Shirts
whose national commander viciously
attacks the march.
At the last moment, a permit which
local jobless workers had won from
the city government for parade and
mass meeting in Reading was revoked,
apparently on direct orders from
Washington.
The police simply swarmed around
the marchers, A motorcycle detach-
ment Of police met the Column seven
miles out of the city limits.
In Reading streets hundreds Of po-
lice stretched in a long line along
the side streets into which the column
was showed. They drove back hun
dreds of Reading workers who gath
cred on the sidewalks and street cor
ners to welcome the marchers. All
Reading workers were roughly held
to the sidewalks, and not allowed to
approach the Column.
The narchers were herded into
Polish Hall, the women delegates
were showed upstairs, and the crowd
was kept back half block on both
sides of the hall by approximately so
police, who said 1--WE don't want any
lettering.
Though many of the Lehigh Valley
delegates are members of the Social
ist Party, the Taxpayers Protective
League announced its intention to
call off this afternoons mass meeting,
originally scheduled to welcome the
marchers.
Reading workers cheered and
waved to the marehers from behind
the police barriers.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec. 2.-Thous-

here yesterday from II AM. to at
night for the marchers to come in.
When the long caravan of trucks APP
preached from the north at $50 pm,
hundreds still lined the streets here

Marchers, Come to
Omaha, Writes TOiIer

OMAHA, Neb.-Mayor Metcalfe OF
this city recently openly advocated
further starvation for the unem-
ployed workers, starving veterans and
impoverished farmers, as a means to
suppress the National Hunger March
to Washington. He appealed to the
citizens to aid him In his campaign
to Starve out the Hunger MareherS
who pass through Omaha.
This appeal fully displays that the
Republican and Democratic parties
represent the interests of the cap
italist class only. Mayor Metealfe is
a Democrat, yet he admits that he
is acting in accord with a request
from Hoover's office.
But, unfortunately for Mayor Met
calfe, his appeal falls on deaf ears.
Too many workers bitterly remem-
Der his third degree methods for
compelling workers to hand over 10
per cent Of their wages to the Com
munity Chest grafters. Too many
farmers remember that it was Mayor
Metcalfe's class who claimed that the
farmers had been spoiled by war
prosperity This claim was made
because at that time a few farmers
had made a little more on farm
products which enabled them to put
in a bathroom, buy new Ford or
temporarily bring their standard Of
living just trifle nearer the stand
ard customarily enjoyed by Mayor
Metcalfe and other capitalist para
sites.
Impoverished farmers, unemployed
workers and starving veterans need
not fear Omaha. Sympathy for them
has been constantly growing since the
Bonus March last summer.

use Of both Hitler's fascist bands and
the Social Democratic leaders against
the revolutionary united front move
ment that is fighting against fascism.
The Social Democratic press aided
in preparing for just such a further
step toward fascism by advising Hin
denburg how to proceed "constitu-
tionally' with a governme It respon-
sible only to himself. In its issue of
November 10Th the Berlin Vorwaerts
advised:
"A presldIal CaDInet, supported
solely by the presidents confidence
and not having the support of the
Reichstag, will avoid q conflict with
the constitution, only if it is found
that q government Reichstag ma
JOrity cannot pc secured at the
present. Such a presidial cabinet
can be brought about In two ways;
Either the president finds aStates-
man Of note who will get a major
ity somehow or other, or he resorts
to bureaucratic cabinet which will
perform the functions absolutely
essential for the maintenance Of
government activity
Thus the social-faSesits pledged
themselves in advance to help Hin
denburg and the capitalist class carry
through further excuses of fascist
violence against the toiling masses.
The fasciSts will attempt to con-
ceal their support of Schleicher by
fake opposition phrases while the So
cial democracy will seek to cloak their
objective support in more or less the
same fashion.
However, in spite Of the mobiliza-
ton of bourgeois parties to try to
bring about greater fascisation with
in the framework of the constitution
this does not and cannot mean the
solution of the sharp conflicts within
the bourgeois camp which are becom-
ing sharper with the catastrophe
deepening of the crisis and the move
ment of the masses against capitalist
terror.
The Communist Party is the only
Party that is definitely fighting
Schleicher. 1t has issued call for
struggle against all fascists and reit-
crates willingness to fight together
with all organizations that are ready
for struggle, for mass actions and for
strikes. The Communist Party ap-
peals to all workers to take up the
united struggle, without any other
conditions, to smash the fascist Of
fensiVe of the capitalist class.

PRINCETON, N. J.. - I went to

for the Social Service (Social Slave

les. They would not give me milk
or oranges for my child.
I lived i'll q house owned by the

so the head of the Social Slave Bu-
reau sent police to put me out. This
thug so terrorized my wife that the
next morning she had a miscarriage.
Miss Black, the secretary Of the S. S.
B., took my wife to the hospital to
see the doctor, then she told me I
would have to work out the $500
for the doctor before would get any
food, and that I would have to work
out $500 for moving me out of the
house. The man who moved my few
pieces of furniture told me he
charged $3.50 for the moving. I

OLD FORGE MILLS
BEGIN TO CLOSE
Pa. Town Bosses Work
Charity Racket

OLD FORGE, Pa.-Ttse workers
here have just received their relief
from the bosses, which consists CT SIS
in grocery orders and a bag Of flour.
The flour is the cheapest grade pos
sible, and 1t tastes like od-pulp.
The head Of each family gets this
check and flour. Single workers
have much difficulty in getting re-
lief, as they must answer questions
put up by the relief takers and who
do you think the relief takers are?
They are the agents of MIR. God in
person.
You must tell them what faith you
believe, and everything from your
great-grandfather to your mother,
and the cause Of your present sit
uation,' etc.
On the bosses Thanksgiving day,
they had their big bloW-outs while
the workers, who are supposed to be
thankful to a "mercifup' god, ate
what they could. In Taylor they got
lousy soup and beans.
Since the elections the local mills
are beginning to Slacken. Many
workers are laid off and many lost
their Jobs for refusing to give to
the racket known as the community
chest.
The bosses forced workers in the
mills to give from $3.50 to S., and
the miners had to give SIS to $40.
The mill workers wages are from
$3.50 to IS, and now that the chest
drive, is over the slick grafters will
put their hands in, and it won't be
long until there wont be enough left
for the unemployed to buy 1oaves of
Breads. M.

on their way, and shouting, Good
Luck"
The Column feels that it has the
solid backing of the whole working
class in this part of the country.
Songs and cheers and wild applause
Was the response of all workers along
the way.
The police and authorities tried in
vain to quell the demonstrations. At
Newcastle, yesterday, police with sub
machine guns barred the way into
town, to keep the marchers from
being greeted by crowd of 5000
waiting to welcome them in the Pub
lie Square.
The Column was forced off the
rotue and onto a side road. But
the mass meeting in Newcastle
adopted resolutions supporting their
demands and sent the resolutions
after the column.
In many places along the line of
march. police forced the gas stations
to close, SO the trucks could not get
supplies, but even this did not stop
the march.

ditions of the masses are constantly
being raised.
The British government also raises
the question Of the sharpening Of
the Lausanne pact" which postponed
German reparations contingent upon
the action of the United States fur
ther postponing demands for pay
ment of the war debts, This was a
reminder that the elements of re-
volution are growing apace in Ger
many. Although the Soviet Union
is not mentioned in the British or
French notes is is plain that they
expect Washington TO understand
that the Lausanne pact also was
directed against the Soviet Union.
IGNORES WAR PREPARATIONS
Naturally, the note makes no men
ton Of the increased expenditures
for war preparations, which add to
the deficits and load additional bur-
dens on the shoulders of the already
impoverished masses. The destructive
character Of capitalism, consistently
exposed by the Communists, is also
admitted in the British note;
But PREPARATIONS and war loans
represent expenditures on destruc-
lions. Fertile fields were rendered
barren and populous cities a shat
tered ruin. Such expenditure, in
stead of producing a slow and steady
accumulation Of wealth, destroys in
few hours stored-up riches of the
past"
The contradictions of finance cap
ital are admitted by the note in the
following quotation from the Basic
report OF Aug, 10, 1881:
I'm recent years the world has been
endervoring to pursue two contradic-
tory policies by permitting the dew
elopment of an international finan-
cial system which involves the an
nual payment of large sums by debtor
to creditor countries while at the
same time putting obstacle in the
way Of the free movement of goods"
The statements Of all governments
involved proceed upon the principle
that the holders of the government
bonds must be guaranteed an unin-
terrupted flow OF interest off their
investments. None of them even
suggests the complete wiping out Of
the debts, both public and private,
and cancelling the bonds held by the
bankers, spectators and the stock
exchanges.
Such must be the demand Of the
working class of all countries and on
that line the fight should be carried
on against the debt policies OF the
imperialist governments. Only the
victory of the working-class, the
smashing of capitalist rule will finally
solve these questions.

night with Column in Pittsburgh.
Column 4 left Sioux City Nov. 81
and carried on in the face of every
opposition of the authorities, and
amidst the tremendous mass support
Of the miners, in the coal mine strike
area of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
Over Mountains and Deserts
Also in Cumberland tonight will
be the delegates marching in Column
2, which left San Francisco Nov. 16,
and Column 3, which left Los An
geles the day before. Theirs was
trip in dilapidated second hand Fords
and a few old trucks, over the highest
mountains in United States, and the
great deserts Of the Southwest. They
merged in Denver in the midst Of a
huge outpouring of the workers of this
Rocky Mountain city. and continued
on to Kansas City, to absorb Column
5, which started from Houston, Tex,
Nov. 81.
Thousands Cheer Them
The combined Columns 2, 8 and 5
went off from st. Louis, Mo, with
the cheers of 1000 demonstrating
workers, their cheers ringing in their
ears, smashing thru the police COR
dons at Vincennes, and on through
Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and
to Cumberland.
Southern Delegations
AT Richmond, Va, tonight Columns
6 and will camp over. These are
smaller groups, several hundred at
the most, but they have made his
tory. The course of Column 6 has
electrified the South, which never
saw anything like it before. Three
thousand workers, Negro and white,
battled the police in Birmingham.
Hundreds did it again in Chattanooga
and though in the two towns there
were over hundred arrests, such a
mass movement was stirred up that
only three of these remain in jail
now.
Continuous Struggle
In Charlotte, near the Gastonia
battle grounds of 1929, furious DEM
onstrations of workers fought the po-
lice on the day before the column
arrived.
The progress Of Column 8 has been
quieter, but in Norfolk, Ma, an al
most continuous struggle between
thousands of tenants resisting eviction
even against threats Of the prosecutor
and judges TO declare open season on
tenants and send the xxx to shoot
them down, has prepared for the ar
rival of the National Marchers.
In Richmond, itself, TOO workers
mobilizsd. Tuesday night, endorsed the
National March. made plans for
big mass welcome to Columns and
8, and demanded the use of the City
Auditorium tonight for the mass
meeting.
Among the southern delegates are
a detachment OF marine workers from
the Gulf Coass. There are both Ne
gro and white delegates, and no Jim
Growing.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Dec. a.
Mayor George Henderson is making
threats against the National Hunger
Marchers, and declares they will not
get food or lodging or even be allowed
to stop overnight here.
In Hagerstown, near by, similar
threats come from the officials.
The local jobless and employed |
workers are continuing their pressure
to smash through this ban on the
marchers.
