WALL ST. FUNDS
FOR GERMANARMS
Litvinoff Scores "Arms
Cut" Swindle

GENEVA, Sept 22.-Premier Her.
riot of France charged yesterday
that Germanys secret war prepara-
lions were being financed by Ameri-
can loans. He declared he was pos
sessed of proof" but was reluctant"
to make use of his information. He is
said to be prepared to spring his
proof" if Germany continues to boy
colt the disarmament" conference.
Aim Anti Soviet Drive.
The French premier is reported to
have documents claiming that Ger
many could put 100000 well-drilled
soldiers into the field within short
time, plus $4,000 trained officers.
Wall Streets support Of these war
preparations is based on the hope
that the German fascistS will be sue
cessful in their efforts to crush the
revolutionary movement in Germany
and line up Germany for the war Of
Intervention against the Soviet Union
and its triumphant Socialist CON-
struction.
The disarmament" conference has
postponed discussion on the German
demand for the right to carry on its
war preparations openly along with
the other imperialist powers. The
French and British are opposing"
the demand.
Expose U. S. Imperialism
Litvinoff yesterday again exposed
the swindle of the disarmament"
conference. He declared that the So
Wet Union was ready to support the
Hoover proposal for one-third cut
of ornaments. This declaration APP
peared to embarrass the American
observers who have, for the time at
least, abandoned their pretense Of
fighting for acceptance of the Amer
lean proposals. These proposals we're
in reality put forward by the Hoover
government in an attempt to cover
up American war preparations and
deceive the American masses, and as
a counter move to the proposals OF
Wall Streets imperialist rivals.

Federal, state and municipal Off
Gals have made their plans for the
approaching winter, and in every
case SO far recorded these plans are
to CUT DOWN relief for the unem-
ployed and give more relief to the
bankers.
Hoover, with brutal cyniciSrn, has
announced that the unemployed need
expect no relief from the federal au-
thorities.
Governors in forty-three states
have announced plans for convening
special sessions of their legislatures
to further cut state salaries, to give
more money to bankers, to push a
greater hunger program for the UNI

Mayor Mckee of New York this
week made statement which puts
in nutshell the past, present and

Mayor McKee's statement was: THE

To answer this joint attack of the
federal, state and municipal officials,
the National Committee of the I'M

All workers organizations, and

themselves in bosses organizations
like the Unemployed Citizens

to send representatives.
The meeting in Chicago will lay
plans to unite all workers in active
struggle for the following proposed
demands:
Il. Not promises, but immediate
relief for the starving unemployed.
Not one unemployed worker or his

Roosevelt Endorses
Rule of Big Trusts
Over Power System

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. q. =
Roosevelt, Democratic Party nominee
for president spoke here yesterday en-
tirely on his power and utility pro-
gram. Roosevelt has made great eff
forts to appear as the enemy of the
power trust" and champion of the
public against exhoritant rates."
In his speech yesterday he pro-
posed eight points, absolutely mean
ingless and Intellectual, for the reg
ulation" of the power trust. The
points fall into two groups one for
publicity as to the owership of tic
power trust, which will not hinder
the continued high charges made by
the trust, and regulation and con-
troll" of holding companies by Federal
power commission" similar to state
power commissions now operating
and to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Trust Runs Commissions
Roosevelt himself, unwttingly gave
the answer to his own program
earlier in his speech when discussing
the present state COMMISSIONS he said ::
1.-THE public service. comission in
many states have often failed to live
up to the high purpoes for which they
were created. In many instances their
selection has been obtained by the
public utility corporations themselves.
These corporations have often in
fluenced to the prejudice of the pub
lie the action of public service COM
missions"
For Capitalism
Following this. Roosevelt declared
himself for the continuation of the
present system of private monopoly
and exploitation, saying: Il do not
hold with those who advocate gov
eminent owership or government OPP
Grafton of all utilities, I state to you
categorically that as broad general
rule the development of utilities
should remain, with certain excep-
tons, a function for private initiative

LYNCH NEGRO
YOUTH in N. C.
Committed Crime of
Asking for His Wages

BOON, N. c., Sept. 22.-Ralph Bar
ton, young Negro worker, was
lynehed yesterday by mob of small
business men and their hangers
The brutal murder of the young
Negro worker followed an argument
oyer the payment of his wages with
his boss. Young Barton, who worked
for contracting company, went Sat
urday to ask for his wages. The boss
told him he was fired and to "get to
hell out of here. In the eyes of the
white ruling class, Barton then COM
mitted the crime of demanding the
wages due him for his labor.
He was forced to leave the con-
tractors office without his pay. He
had hardly reached his home, when
the sheriff was knocking on his door
to arrest him for talking back to a
white boss. Fully aware of the savage
treatment melted out by the white
ruling class to Negroes, Barton de-
Tended himself against arrest and
opened fire on the sheriff. That the
sheriff had visited Barton's home as
the leader of mob was evident when
hundreds of men Immediately sprung
up out of their hiding places and
opened fire on the young Negro work
er, Kidding him with hail of bull
lets.
NEW YORK-The lynching of
young Barton is part of the bestial
terror with which the white ruling
class are trying to suppress the
struggles of the Negro masses and
force them to accept the bosses war
and starvation program. This terror
manifested itself on Tuesday in the
police raid on the Birmingham Of
fees of the International Labor De-
tense and the arrest of three white
workers in the effort to smash the
Scottsboro Defense Campaign. The
working class, Negro and white, must
answer these attacks with militant
struggle against the ruling class, de-
