Morgan and His Billions

WHO is this J. P. Morgan who wants the workers,
W living starvation rationS, to feed themselves
through the "Block-Aid" system? He is mysterious
figure member of family who have been sucking up
the wealth produced by the American workers for
nearly a century. He is the outstanding figure of
American Imperialism typical of capitalism which
concentrates huge of wealth into the hands of
few, leading to crisis unemployment starvation and
nperialst Mr.. Morgan is the most powerful
force in the American government He and his clique
speak, not Hoover Hoover is the mouthpece the
figurehead.
Morgan's greatest power lies in the fact that he
controls the five largest banks in the United States
banks closely intertwined with the leading basic in
dustries, banks that run the country.
The Morgan and allied banks are the Bankers
Trust, Guaranty Trust First National, National City
and Chase National Banks with resources of $685.
100000!
In addition, the Morgan group is interlocked by
of interlockng drectorates with insurance COM
panies the combined resources of which in 1929
$l2500000000 IS per cent Of all insurance assets.
The House of Morgan, at which j. P. Morgan (the
one who spoke the radio and told the starving
workers to feed themseves) controls corporations with
net value of $74,0O0OOO0O0.
Let's see about some of the companies Mr. Morgan
and his II partners control The leading ones are:
The United States SteI Corporation where Mr. Nor
gan gave the workers many wage-cuts, and then on
Oct l, 1881, presented all the steel workers with an
additional wage slash of 10 per cent The profits Mr.
Morgan has wrung out of the United States Steel
Corporation fabulous Billions we're made by him
and his class in organizing the steel trust; billions
made out of the blood and slaughter of the last
world war; and when the crisis hit, Mr.. Morgan in
sisted that the steel workers pay by wage-cuts just
as he tells the unemployed to feed themselves now to
save Mr. Morgan's billions.

combined assets $6,000oO 0O0-and in all these COM
panies Mr.. Morgan has slashed Wages
Mr. Morgan has a controlling interest in many OF
the leading railroads and shared heavily the $780,
100000 railroad wage-cut. Mr.. Morgan and his part
nerS will get big slice of the $2000000O00 dole
that the Hoover government voted to the railroads
insurance companies and other big corporations
Through Morgan banks, j. p. Morgan has his hand
in the controlling mechanism of nearly every leading
corporation in the United States.
Above all, the House of Morgan is dominant in in
vestment and banking operations, not only in the
United States but throughout the world. j. P Morgan
has billions OF investments in Germany and through
out Europe; in China, where the imperialists headed
by Japanese Imperialism waring against the Chi
nese people moving forward for attack against the
Soviet Union, Mr.. Morgan has huge investments

imperialism having floated around $500 900 for the
Japanese bosses.
In the coming imperialist war, which Morgan land
his fellow bankers are most prominent in preparing
Morgan looks forward to greater profits. Remember
that in the last world he reaped rich, golden
harvest, while the workers lost 100000 dead on the
battlefields and 100000 wounded and manned.
In 1919, when 100000 workers were involved in
great strikes against wage-cuts when 100000 steel
workers fought militant battle against Morgan and
the steel trust j. P Morgan wired to Ebert H. Gary
president of the United States Steel Corporation:
"Heartest congratulations your stand for the
open shop, which am, you know absolutely in
accord"
Ebert H. Gary directed and approved the cold
blooded murder of strike organizers
Now j. P. Morgan, scab herder, bitter enemy of the
workers is absolutely in accord" with the Block

Old Clothes Bureau
for JObless Workers
Has Jim-CrOw Policy

A brazenly frank statement of the
Jim-Crow policy Of the New York
Clothing Bureau at 81 Bank Street,
which is supposed to help few of
the city's jobless workers to clothe
themselves, was blurted out last week
by Miss Julia Lathers, director Of the
Bureau. But William Hodson, direc-
tor of the New York Welfare Council,
thinks such a frank statement of
policy "regrettable," and considers it
better to keep quiet about the Bu-
reau'S Jim-CroW methods.
THE Bureau is conducted on nom
sectarian lines, but because of many
customers from the South, Negro
workers are not served was the
statement of the Clothing Bureau
published in a recent issue of Better

The Japanese social democrat,
Akamatzu, even more brazenly de-
Tended the butchery of Chinese prole-
tsrisns by Japanese Imperialism, de-
claring:

of peace, TO carry on semi-star-

Matsudani, the leader of the left

clared:

Morgan for More Wage Cuts and Hunger

J. P. Morgan spoke on the
radio Wednesday night, asking
the workers to contribute
nickels and dimes to help the
unemployed. Morgan, head Of
the Wall Street robbers, said
this was a good idea, since it
would preserve his own billions.
His speech was broadcast over
a network which covered every
corner of the country where
Morgan's companies enforced
wage cuts, and where Morgan
controlled municipalities shoot
down unemployed workers.
Here is the clux of his ap-
peal:
eve have reached a point
where the aid of govern
ments or the gifts of individ-
uals, no matter how gener-
Gus, are insufficient to meet
the conditions which have
come upon us. SO we must
all do our bit. The blOck-aid
idea is the right idea-it in
wolves going to everybody
to those who have little and
those who have much-and
asking for help for relief
work in such small amounts
that no one who has seen
with his own eyes or heard
from others of the greatness
of the need will hesitate TO
give the sum asked for"
1--WE must all do our Bit
says Mr.. Morgan, in the words
of the last World War wher
the workers did their ''bit" by
having their CUTS shot out or
the battlefield, and Mr.. Morgan
did his "bit" by watching his
accounts swell by about $10,,

Morgan now wants the 10000.

ing OF Socialism IN the SOVIET Unlon.S

passed UNANIMOUSLY.
In an attempt TO cover up this
shameless betrayal of the working
