Textile Bosses Call for
More Speed Up
By L. r. A.

The textile industry is being put "on a healthy
basis says the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter (Sept. 81, through the mass unem-
ploynent of the workers. This employers jour-
nal points out, as indication of this trend that
"One well-known Massachusetts mill has
quietly junked $4,000 spindleS recently One
Of the big corduroy mills shut down its carding
and spinning rooms four years ago and has only
been running the weaving and finishing. Another
New England mill has recently junked about
10000 mule spindles. Thousands of wooden looms
have been shut down and will never be restarted."
A healthy basis" for an industry under cap
italsn means just this--waste increasing in
security for the workers, and mass unemploy-
ment
AT the same time this employers organ advises
more speed-up. mo mill can continue per-
manenty in business unless 1t is on the most
efficient basis with the largest possible humber
Of spindles per operative and looms per weaver.
The stop watch must be used, waste motions
must be obliterated and low wages costs
achieved"
And the Textile World, likewise urging the
speed-up, says, 1T is unfortunate that the term
'stretch-out' with It's implications of greater ef-
fort on the part of the operative, has been ap-
piled to plan that is mere labor speciali-
cation" Then it proceeds to instruct mill men
on the art of applying the stretch-out. In one
mill described weavers we're increased from "a to
so looms There were of course few of the
operatives who were in opposition even after all
our planning" said the boss However, their
number was just about the number we had to
drop under the specialization plan, so two diff
ficultes were solved by letting them CO."

paration will not solve the crisis for the cap
Of the credit crisis; greater misery for the great
mass of workers. The basic factors, the con-
tinued drop In production, especially in the
basic industries, which further involves the
question of large scale bankruptcies among some
of the most powerful industrial concerns, point
to longer continuation of the crisis, with every
effort of the capitalists directed to unload stll
greater burneds on the workers
The actions of Congress during the present
crisis, especially In the present stage OF the
severe financial crisis, more clearly than ever
before show the fusion Of finance capital and
the capitalist state. Every measure helping the
big capitalists in their attempts to increase their
profits and save their totterng financial struc-
ture was put through with precision and with q
minimum Of Opposition" This was true Of the
Finance T-econstruction Corporation, with its

a fund that is already being parceled out; 1t Ia
shown in the passage Of the Glass Steagal Bill;
1t is expressed in the extremely mild criticism
Of the Hoover regime; it is shown by the secret
and continuous White House conferences be-
tween the leading lights Of the Republican and
Democratic Congressman and Senators and the
representatives of the big banks which, forrnu-
late the leading measures finally passed al
most unanimously by the House and Senate and
1t is shown most particularly by the clock-like
precision by which all measures no matter how
wishy-washy, for the relief Of the unemployed
arc rejected

ment by artillery, infantry and air
bombs. Also, that no one better than
the japanese should know just WHO
was "aggravating" the situationD
But we go on with the Admiral:
I'm view of this state of affairs,
the Municipal Council proclaimed
state Of emergency, and the military
and naval forces of the various ma
tions have taken their positions for
the defense of the Settlement"
(Kindly note how cleverly the Jap
anese admiral here gives the reader
to understand that he, the Admiral,
was deeply concerned about, was to
uphold the authority of the NUM-
cipal Council "for defense Of the
Settlement But the Admiral only
uses these words as a springboard for
jumping off into the following:
1.-THE Imperial Japanese Navy, feel
ing extreme anxiety about the situa-
ton in Chapel. where japanese ma
tionals reside in great numbers, has
decided to dispatch troops to this sec
ton for the enforcement of law and
order" Good old Flaw and order!"
But now you see that the Japanese
Admiral began by talking about the
Municipal Council and defense of
the Settlement" only in order to make
people who do not know that Chapel
is outside the Settlement, believe that
the japanese occupation of Chapel
was taken under authority of the
Settlement authorities, without ex-
actly saying sob.
This, no doubt, gave the Japanese
government and newspapers the line
they were to follow in developing ode
Tense patriotism" among the japanese
masses, for again. in the Osaka
"Mainichi" of Jan. 81, the opinion of
Foreign Minister Yoshizawa was
quoted as follows:
sit must be especially made clear
that the district in which the clash
took place was assigned to Japan
IA SOhouibdtiuIi Win tllc DldISndl
Municipal Council" 4
What Was True
What was TRUE in all this talk,
is the fact that the Municipal Coun-
Gil, in assigning troops of the differ
ent imperialist gangs to guard the
borders and parts of the Settlement,
DID assign the Japanese naval forces
to guard the Hongkew area of the
Settlement. That the Japanese used
that area to land more troops and
as a jumping off place to invade
Chinese territory in Chapel DOES
PLACE JOINT RESPONSIBILITY,
WITH THE JAPANESE, ON AMER
ICAN AND BRITISH IMPERIAL
ISM!
And this again makes clear why
the Chinese Soviets are fully justified
in demanding that every last inch of
all these foreign concessions" and
international settlements" through
out China be surrendered to China,
as the only security that the Chinese
people has against such imperialist
invasion!
But since we are interested here
mainly in how workers are lied to

comes The big bourgeoisie will be exempted
Again in this way the capitalists seek to trans
fer greater burdens on the backs of the workers
One OF the special schemes evolved by the
Hoover government to swindle the workers is
the so-called 'baby bond issue. To push the
so-called campaign against boarding" which in
reality is a campaign to save the tottering banks
at the expense Of the workers and the petty
bourgeoisie who may still have few dollars left,
the imperialists have organized anti-hoard-
ing organization, using all the war methods of
propaganda to get the masses to turn back their
few hard-earned dollars in order to help the
scheme Of initiation. The big bourgeoisie who

hoard money, hoard 1t in gold, not in the al
ready inflated currency. Less and less gold cer-
tficates are being issued, and, as one of the
bourgeois economists puts it: eve see more
green money and less of those beautiful yellow
bills"
'Baby Bond" Idea.
The idea Of the "baby bond" is that the gov
eminent issues government bonds in small
denominations of from $50 to $780, for periods
of up to one year. The workers or petty
bourgeoisie are supposed to buy these bonds,
and the government is supposed to turn the
money which is to come from 'hoarding" back
into the banks. Instead Of the paper money.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-03-12

the workers or petty-bourgeoisis are supposed to
get other paper in the form of baby bonds; and
the banks can again use the baby bonds to is
sue still more money. The main significance in
this process is the fact that the government be-
comes more openly the direct agent OF the lead
ing bankers, actually taking the leading part in
the swindling scheme OF enticing the few hard
earned dollars out of the workers under the
guise of government bonds" and turning this
money directly back to the bankers, who, of
course, make good profit out of the transact
ton and are able to cover up their bankrupt
position for while

by war makers, let us quote another
item from the Osaka "Mainichi" Of
February 2, dated at Shanghai, jan
uary 30, and running as follows:
1T was agreed at the conference
yesterday of the consular officials
Of the Powers here, including Mr..
Edwin S. Cunningham, American
Consul General, and Mr.. J. F. Bren-
nan, British Consul General, that
it is advisable for Japan to send a
force of many times the size Of
the present naval landing corps TO
Shanghai, in order to cope with the
situation After an exchange of
views they agreed that the situation
will become still worse and the In
ternational and French Settlements
will be greatly endangered unless
the Japanese force holds the unruly
Chinese in check. This decision
at the conference was announced
to the foreign press correspondents"
Workers! We will bet anything
that you never saw anything like
THAT in the capitalist press of the
United States! At the day of its
date, the Associated Press, as quoted
in the first part of this article, was
saying that the American Consul
General Cunningham was express
ing indignation" at the Japanese!
But, in the japanese papers, there
was this gentleman asking Japan to
send more troops, "a force many
times the size" already at Shanghai
Who Is Lying-One or Both?
And this decision was announced
to the foreign press correspondents! I"
Why is the American capitalist press
silent on this grave matter? What
does Secretary Stimson have to say
about this seeming double dealing of
Consul Gen. Cunningham at Shang-
hal? Does this explain why Stimson
has declared a moratorium on notes
of protest" as Japan sends even more
troops?
Workers, there are many more ex-
amples of how the capitalist press
of America and Japan are telling diff
ferent stories to the masses! Do not
think that the American capitalist
press is telling the truth and that all
the lying is done by the press of
Japan! o
Both the Hoover government and
the American press only few months
ago, after Hoover had declared fin
ancial and trade boycott against the
Soviet Union, declared that such a
boycott did not mean IAN unfriendly
act" toward the Soviet Union! But
now, out comes both the State de-
partment and the capitalist press de-
claring that the American govern
ment by no means must boycott Jap
an, as that would be IAN umfriendly
act, leading to war!"
These examples, workers, should
teach you to read the capitalist papers
with suspicion. And to rely solely
upon the Communist press, whose
leading organ in the country Is the
Daily Worker, for information and
gidance The war makers are lying
to you, and you must beware!

HOW w AR NJ AKERS LIE

and maybe both-you American work
ers, or the Japanese workers, were
lied tol Because throughout United
States on January %, the capitalist
newspapers carried an Associated
Press dispatch saying, in part:
Japanese occupation, begun at
midnight, led to the most menacing
situation since the seizure of Muk-
den . The American Consul Gen
eraI, Edwin S. Cunningham, ex-
pressed indignation at the Japanese
attack" (Our emphasis-H.G).
Certain Points"
Nevertheless, the Osaka (Japan)
"Mainichi" published the following
editorial on Jan. 81:
"Chins is heading toward an
archy. This is assuming ugly feat
ures, so much so as to compel the
Municipal Council in Shanghai to
declare martial law in the Interna-
tiona1 Settlement. AS a result, all
the countries with marines or land
forces have taken up their respect
i've positions in defense of the Set
Element. The landing parties from
the Imperial Navy have also taken
up their assigned positions, neces-
stating the occupation Of certain
points in order to effect a more eff
ficient defensive action. All of
sudden, the Chinese troops chal-
lenged the Imperial landing party,
resulting in an armed clash This
is clearly a case of the Chinese
initiating an affair" (Our emphasis
-H.G). ..
See how artfully the Japanese cap
italist papers talk, clearly inferring
that the Shanghai Municipal Coun-
Gil assigned" Japanese marines to
the defense" of the certain points
where the clash took place; therefore
"the Chinese initiated the AFFAIR.""
But from the American capitalist
press, American workers are given to
understand that the certain points
mentioned by the Japanese press
we're outside, not inside, the Interna-
tional Settlement Listen to the fol-
lowing by the N. Y. Times correspond
ent, Hallett Abend, in the Times" OF
Jan. 80:
"The Japanese had decided earlier
to attempt to take possession of
the Chapel area, which is part of
the Chinese governed section of the
CITY,"
"Restlessness"--a Cause for War
So, according to the American
press, the Japanese and not the Mu-
nicipal Council had decided" it!
Now go on to see the tricky word
ing of Admiral KOCH Shiozawa, the
Japanese commander, whom Hallett
Abend, in the same issue of the NY
Times, quotes as having issued man
ifesto on January 28th, saying:
General restlessness prevails In
and outside the International Settle
ment oftShanghai, and there are signs
the situation is being further aggra-
waited" We stop here to draw work.

By HARRISON GEORGE.

VA ORKERS, this is a story
w of how you are lied to by
your capitalist governments
and capitalist newspapers. They
lie to you because they need
you, the workers and small
farmers, to fight wars in their
interests. So they lie to you.
The last World War was to
save democracy" remember!
Now a new World War is be-
ginning. So there are new lies.
1t makes no difference
whether you are japanese or
American, you have been lied
to about this war in China, in
such a way as to get all of you
who believe what you see in
your capitalist papers, t6 sup
port "your" government, the
government of the capitalists
who starve and Cypress you.
We are going to give you some
timely examples of how war
makers lie to you.
Assigned by Municipal Council
When, at midniqht on Jan.
%, the japanese marines attacked
the Chinese ruled part of Greater
Shanghai known as Chapel, the capt.
talist government Of Japan and its
capitalist papers, had to make the
Japanese masses believe that Japan
was "in the right" So, in the capt.
talist paper published in Osaka, Jap
an, known as "the Mainichi," dated
January 81, we find the following:
SHANGHAI, Jan. 29-The ut
most tension which has prevailed
here for many days on account of
the hostile attitude of the Chinese
troops toward the Japanese, was
broken last night when contingents
of the Japanese naval landing par
ty, while advancing from North
Szechuan Road to the region of
the North Station, which was as
signed by the Municipal Council to
the Japanese naval force for guard
ing, clashed with the Chinese
troops" (Our Emphasis-H.G.).
Now, If you never read in the
American capitalist papers that 1.-The
region Of the North Station" (Which
is in purely Chinese territory over
which the Municipal Council has no
authority was assigned by Num-
cipal Council to the Japanese naval
forces for guarding" that doesn't
mean that it never happened. The
Municipal Council is headed by an
American imperialist but largely con-
trolled by British irnperiahsts, both
enemies of the Chinese masses and
violators of Chinese independence.

We don't know, because nobody knows just how
EaQch will be accomplished by the Farmers National Re-
lief Conference which IS to meet in Washington De-
cember 7th but don't how any harm
from it, and there possibility that great deal of good
may come
We will feel lot confident about the possible
good, however when find just who is going to rep
the farmers If the plan is carried out of having
only real dt farmers really representative of the farm
ing communities of all parts Of the country, think
great deal of good be We will be very distrus
u there politicians and office seekers pretending to
represent the farmers at this conference We have
dence at all in great many of the persons who have in
the past been spokesman for agriculture Washington
We think it will be of the greatest value to have the
actual farmers who know precisely what they talking
about right there in the national capital to tell their
story directly members of Congress and administrative
officials.
One caravan of farmers is already enroute from the
Pacific Coast for Washington We understand that there
will be farmer delegations from about thirty states arriv
ing in Washington III six marching delegations So far
their program has been formulated understand that
they want to get against evctons from their
moratorium debts which they cannot pay and
cash relief relieve hunger Those reasonable pro-
posas although not at all that is
for the farmers march in body to Washington to get
them
We are glad to learn that the police officials the
District of Columbia preparing to cooperate in
way with the farmer delegates and we hope and conf
IDENTITY believe that there will be repetition of the dis
order of last
If out of this demonstration sound, intelligent
practical plan for helping farmers who need help without
wasting money Impractical schemes throwing it

convention ought to be success
