TRADE GRABS OR
PAY UP'--KLEIN
Hoover Also for War
Debt Bargaining
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-In
message to Congress today, Hoover
advocated the appointment of a
commission to review the war debts
question. The message opposes
cancellation of the debts, and
makes it plain that any reduction
in the debts must be compensated
for by trade and other concessions
from the debtor countries.
The sharpness of the struggle
over the war debts together with
the sharpening of the world crisis
of capitalism is reflected in an APP
peal for national solidarity" to
save capitalism from 'the forces
which today threaten the very
foundations of what Hoover re-
ferred to as civilization (read

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-In a
speech broadcasted over the radio
last night. DR.. julius Klein, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, reStated the
demands of the Wall Street Govern
ment for trade and colony conces-
sions from the European debtor
countries in exchange for conces-
sions on war debts revisions by the
United States. He intimated that
the U. S. Government might retreat
from its present position of barring
discussion of the war debts at the
forthcoming international economic
conference if assured in advance of
trade and other concessions from its
impsrialist rivals.
For Weakening Imperialist Rivalries
At the same time he demanded the
removal of excessive tariff restric-
lions, rigid quota systems, and ex-
change-control measures" which adj
versely affect U. S. trade and give
its rivals an advantage in the world
market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Dr. Arthur
Kraus, instructor at City College,
placed his life in he hands OF
Hoover or Roosevelt" as he entered
the eighth day Of hunger strike,
intended as a gesture OF protest
against fascist pogrom attacks on the
Jews in Poland. Kraus is now willing
to end his self-imposed martyrdom,
if, as he states, President Hoover or
President-elect Roosevelt write me
asking that I call off my strike AS
previously pointed out by the Daily
Worker, this is the usual and futile
outcome of individualistic actions
divorced from the mass movement
of the working class.

IL Legion Posts Fight Bonus.

NEW YORK.-Eleven local posts
of the American Legion, dominated
by rich ex-servicemen, have adopted
resolutions opposing immediate pay
ment of the bonus. The state lead
ers of the Legion are being forced to
make threats to suspend these posts.
The fact is that the resolutions
favoring immediate bonus payment
were put through both the state and
national conventions only under ire
mendous pressure of the rank and
file. Since the conventions, the Le-
gion misleaders have done everything
in their power TO sabotage the strug-
gle for the bonus and bitterly OPP
posed the second bonus march TO
