Toover, the mouthpieoe of the
real rulers of this country, the big
capitalists, continues TO make the
speeches for economy, against un-
employment insurance, for increas-
ed taxation, against reduction of
army and navy expenses and thru
patriotic hash-slinging, for bigger
and bigger wage cuts.
The Communist party, the only
party that really fights for the in
terests of the working class, has
therefore made the second plank in
its election platform:
2. Against HOover's wage cut
ting program"
Every time a worker votes Com
munist, it is a sock in the eye pro-
test against this policy.
Imagine very high tower with
Hoover standing on top of it spout
ing speeches that he didn't even
make up himself. A little way off
stand the real bosses beaming al
him. Imagine that every Commun-
list vote is an axe in a workers
hand. Every time a worker votes
Communist he steps up 10 the tow
er and gives it a smashing blow
with an axe. Think what mil
lion blows like this would do. Yor
bet it wouldn't last long after that
Vote Communist.

LOWER INTEREST
OF CPEDTT RANKS
EMPTY GESTURE

The Federal intermediate credit
banks have reduced the interest
rates on loans made by them by
one per cent. The new rates are,
however, only on NEW loans.
Furthermore, they apply only to
the classes of financing done by
the intermediate credit banks
loans to cOoperatives and loans and
discounts for lending institutions
such as agricultural credit corpora
tons, livestock loan companies or
banks which have made loans to
farmers for production purposes OF
the feeding, breeding, or raising OF
livestock.
In brief the reduction in these
rates will mean nothing for the
farmers. In the first place, be
cause they are not making any new
loans, not being able to pay off
the old ones; and secondly because
a reduction of one per cent even il
it did affect them is insignificant
in the face of the impossibility OF
the farmers paying almost any In
terest from the proceeds Of their
crops.

are taking place in homes all over
the country. The leaders of the
other parties, Democrat, Republi-
can and Socialist know too. But

big yell about whether prohibi-
ton ought to be abolished or not.
The leaders of the Communist par
ty know that as long as they pres

bosses control all the money and
the land and millions own nothing
but their ability to work, unem-
ployment and starvation will con-
tinue to exist.

rule themselves are misery and

and social insurance at the expense
of the state and employers.
If enough workers employed and
unemployed vote Communist which

Nearly 100000 workers are dis
abled through illness for more than
a month each year. The capital
lit political parties are silent on
the problem of a national system
of health insurance.
Physicians estimate that at the
least, 10000 of the $1,000 mothers
who die in child birth yearly could
be saved with the proper prenatal
care. 1t is The working mothers
who ere denied such care; who are
forced to work during the last
months of pregnancy because with
out work they and their families
must starve. The number of mar
ried women in industry has grown
since 1890 from $4,000 to over
1000, 900. Yet only six states have
laws for protection" of pregnant
women and in these, women may
work up to two weeks before anc
may work again four weeks after
child birth. Not one state guar
antees that the job left while the
baby is being born will be open *

maternity benefits allowing work
ing mothers leave of absence witt
pay before and after childbirth
The death rate among working
class babies is four times as higl
as that among babies of owning
class mothers, and it has at leas
doubled since the crisis.
Vote Communist for Unemployment

The only political platform whicl
comes out squarely forthe protec

social insurance as a challenge to
the capitalist system, the system
of social insurance is adequate and
complete. No such complete sys-
tenn can be expected from a cap
italist government. yet a militant
working class can gain concessions
from the government. In the
United States, the workers con-
tinue subject to. the whim and the
humiliation of private charity.
Here, we have chiIdren's bread
lines and unemployed families liv-
ing on garbage. Only in the U.

for a part of the wealth which
they have created over long years

turn get starvation, sickness, and
