BY I. AMTER

Communist Candidate for Governor)
THE unemployment situation be-
1 comes more serious with the
deepening of the crisis.
With 100000 unemployed and
number constantly increasing, it is
obvious that the bosses and the
government are worried-not as to
what will become of the fifteen mil
lion and their families, but what
the fifteen million may do to get
something to eat. Therefore the
demagogic speeches and maneuvers
of Green, McGrady, Sullivan; there
fore the pitting yowls of Thomas,
Waldman and Blanshard; there
fore Hoover'S interest in the little
man." Roosevelt's heart throhs for
"the forgotten man." These dema-
gogues are listening to the Masses"
in order to sidetrack their demands,
to throw sand into their eyes, to
prevent them from accepting the
leadership of the Communist Party
in struggle.
Workers Pay for Relief
Roosevelt signed a bill Of $4,000
900 for relief of the 2,500,O00 unem-
ployed in the State of New York.
This means So per unemployed
worker and his family! A bill will
come up for vote in November for
a bond issue of $30,OOO,OOO for the
relief of the New York State unem-
ployed $12 per unemployed worker.
These bonds will have to be paid
back by taxes on the workers and
farmers.
In the city of New York, the re-
lief administration demands mini
mum of $65,0OO,OOO for the unem-
p1oyed. And, following the practices
of the relief bureaus, the number of
the relief cases and the amount of
relief are being sharply curtailed.
If they need $65, 100000 in New York
City, what does Roosevelt's 100000
900 amount to? What does the pro-
posal of the Socialist Party for
$25,000,000 mean? They both mean
sanctioned STARVATION.
Jobless Used As Cheap Labor
These are the proposals Of the
three capitalist parties. But this is
not all. Roosevelt is shipping the
city unemployed back to the land.
In Binghamton, N. Y, they are
sending the single men to the farms
to work for their board and room.
Cheap labor for the rich farmers,
which will be used to lower the
conditions of workers in the city.
This is becoming a general move
lnent and must be watched care
fully by the city workers and a

How the First World
War Was Started
PEACE TALK AS A CLOAK FOR WAR
PREPARATIONS
Documents from the Period Preceding the
First Imperialist World War
The Third Balkan War

Today when the diplomats, the
statesmen of the world are trying
to cover up their war conspiracies
with all sorts of peace talk, it is
exceedingly instructive to turn
back the records to the years 1872
1914. The Balkan wars were pre-
ludes to the world war that burst
upon the world in 1914. Herewith
we publish documents showing that
up to the very day war was de-
clared those who plotted the war
were talking peace. 1t is note
worthy that the peace-talk became
more pronounced the nearer the
war came. Hoover, Macdonald,
Herriot, Van Papen, Mellon, Slim
SON, are today using the same sort
of deceptive peace talk to conceal
their double dealing, their in
trigues and duplicity, as they in
cite war against the Chinese masses
and prepare for war and interview
ton against the Soviet Union. The
DAILY WORKER will publish
whole series of these documents,
which throw revealing light on
how the last war was prepared, so
that we can more effectively COM
bat the deceptive peace talk that
fills the pages of the reptile press
to cover up the war that is already
under way in the Far East and
threatens to develop into a world
war.

tecting the mother country and the
connecting routes with the British
Empire against submarine and air
blockade. But Hoover's plan
threatens mainly the chief basis
of the British (and also of the
Japanese military power)-its sea
forces, or more exactly stated, the
strongest and best battleship and
cruiser fleet in the world. In addi-
ton, the Hoover Plan is directed
against French imperialism. There
fore Mr.. Gibson was able to satisfy
himself that, Strong as the Anglo
Franch-Japanese antagonisms may
be, they do not yet hinder the fight
of these Powers against the United
States. This was also the case at
Geneva.
Sir John Simon considered it adj
yisable to go to London in order
to hear the opinion of the Admir-
atty. The latter, however, hold
very definite views in this connec-
ton: In no case allow the United
States to achieve actual naval par
ity with England, although this
principle was recognized at the
Washington and Londan naval con-
ferences. And it is perfectly OBJ
vious that British diplomacy will
not grant any real concessions.
It is true, British diplomacy, as
its representatives say, is "pre-
pared to discuss" the question of
tanks, heavy artillery and the nu-
merical strength Of the land army.
In expressing this readiness Brit
ish diplomacy follows quite another
aim, namely, to remind its neigh
Dor across the Straits of Dover of
its dependence on London.
Struggle Between us. and Britain.
The events which have occurred
in the last few days at Geneva
are, in the main, a reflection of
the struggle between the United
States and England. The antag-
onisIns between them remain the
dominating feature in interna-
tional relations in the latest post
war epoch of Imperialism. And
this has once again been fully con-
firmed at Geneva.
French imperialism is exerting all
its efforts and all its skill in order
to weld together at Geneva, as well
as at Lausanne, a united front
against the United States, which
last on its part is supported by
Italy, Germany, the countries of
South America, etc.
The Representatives of only one
country, the Soviet Union, are re-
framing from taking part in this
fight of the imperialists for this or
that variation of sabotage of dis
armament. The Soviet delegation,
which has revealed to the workers
of the whole world the true state
of affairs at the Geneva Confer
ence, which has repeatedly ex-
posed the sabotage projects Of the
imperialists, goes on its way, which
differs fundamentally from the
ways of imperialist policy. The
only delegation which is really
fighting for complete disarmament
is the Soviet delegation. It's task
Of exposing the impcrialists be-
comes all the more important pre-
cisely at the present time. when
the results Of the five months ac-
tivity Of the Geneva Conference Is
still greater aggravation Of Inn
perialist antagonisms.
The Geneva comedy remains q
means for preparing the mem i'm
perialist war and anti-Soviet in
tervention, a means Of deceiving
the working masses. And therefore
It still remains the task Of these
masses ruthlessly to expose the
Geneva "peace-niakers."

The Fate Of the Hoover Plan

uOOVER'S Disarmament plan has
IA been shelved. The well-in-
formed Geneva organ of the French
imperialistS, Journal DIES Nations,
even stated that it will be impos-
sible to discuss the American plan
before October or November.
The Hoover Plan, which is a carl
eatiire of the Soviet Unions dis
armament project, was perhaps for
this very reason not rejected in
every form. But thanks to the eff
forts of the three chief irnperialist
opponents of the United States
England, France and Japan-it has
been rendered "innocuous."
In the light of the results of the
five months activity of the i'm
perialist 'peace-makers" at Gen.
eva, the fate of the Hoover Plan
at Geneva does not constitute any
thing unusual. The imperialist
Powers convened a conference and
postponed the time of its final
fiasco, because under the cloak of
the Conference it is easier for them
to arm. Their whole strategy and
tactics at Geneva aim at achieving
military superiority by uninter-
ruptedly raising the level of their
own forces and at the same time
striving to disarm their rivals.
Arms Race Natural For
Imperialism.
Neither before nor after Geneva
has the imperialist world ceased
madly to arm for war for redis-
tribution of the world. The crisis
has not brought a standstill to this
process, which is natural for i'm
perialism. In spite of the enormous
budget deficits, the imperialist
states continue to expend enormous
sums on ornaments.
The crisis only accentuates the
inequality of the development Of
the armed forces of the various
imperialist countries, and thereby
increases the competition In the
sphere of ornaments, increases the
prerequisites to new wars.
American imperialism Is en-
deayoring to take advantage of this
inequality. Hoover's maneuver was,
therefore, received by France, and
especially by its allies, England and
Japan, with the point of the bay
onet.
The representatives Of French
Imperialism, who have the reputa-
ton of being past-masters In the
art of sabotaging disarmament,
have once again proved themselves
worthy of their calling.
In the present case French
diplomacy has sought the support
of it's neighbor on the other side Of
the Channel and of it's ally in Asia.
England and Japan have accorded
the desired support by strengthen
ing the position of French imperial
ism at Geneva by their plain re-
fusal to examine the feasibility Of
the Hoover Plan. Thus the Hoover
Plan has been doomed to wander
for five months through the laby-
rinth of Geneva. Here it will land
in the hands of military experts"
on the various commissions, ON
which the whole of the disarina-
ment activity of the Geneva Con-
ference is actually concentrated.
And there sufficiently powerful
chemical solvents and experienced
hands will be found to convert the
gorgeous American bouquet into a
funeral wreath.
