them into mine units. They must begin to lead
a political life of their own Immediately on
formation. They must bring the Party before
the masses on local scale as their leader in the
struggle on every front.
The face of the Party must be seen in the
strike, and at the same time its hand must be
felt in the stiffening and tightening up of the
entire apparatus through the proper functoning
of Party fractions In leading committees. The
basic Importance of Immediately intensifying our
work along these lines can not be overestimated.
OrganiEationaI Weakness
AS has been said, many of our difficulties may
be traced to a basic shortcoming of the strike
our extreme organizational weakness, and the
weakness of our leading forces in the strike area
itself.
In my opinion altogether too few forces have
been sent in from the centre. Whether this be
true or not the fact remains that we evidently
must solve this problem without further help
from the center. This means primarily the
speedy training of the best Of local comrades,
even though this interferes somewhat with their
activity This is the only guarantee we can have
for speedy development of forces capable Of
handling the present situation.

PART III

As we already pointed out, the Federal Re-
serve System, which acts as the government
agent for the issuance of paper money, had al
ready issued over billion in new paper money
to meet the demands Of boarding and the credit
tary crisis. The withdrawal of gold by France
and other countries made it difficult to continue
issuing more money, without endangering the
value of the entire currency. Commercial paper
was being restricted. The Federal Reserve Act
requires that the paper money issued have
backing of so per cent in commercial paper and
40 per cent in gold. With the drop in the amount
of commercial paper, more gold was needed to
back UP the issuance of the new money, until
the gold coverage reached about So per cent.
But meanwhile, in reality, the Federal Reserve
banks were buying hundreds of millions in govern
nlent bonds, which they were actually using
basis for the issuance of paper money. This is
contrary to the provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act The main provision of the Glass-Steagall Bill
legalizes this process and permits the issuance Of
more paper money with government bonds as
backing with the prospect of new flood of
these bonds coming TO make up the budgetary
deficit. Though technically the 40 per cent gold
backing is maintained in practice this process
amounts to a real drop in the gold backing OF
the paper money, actually dropping its value and
Leading to initiation.
Financial World Conflict
The results which the Hoover government pre-
diets for the Glass-Steagal Bill is that it will
ease" the financial strain, by lessening the
amount of gold needed for the Issuance of new
money, and permit the transference of this re-
leased gold (around 100000 0OO) into a free gold
reserve fund TO take care of the demand for
Withdrawals by other capitalist nations. partic-
ularly France which has heavy gold holdings III
the United States This is preparation for the
struggle for world financial supremacy.
While the Glass-Steagall Bill received the sup
port of the leading bankers, there are q group
of capitalist financiers who feel very nervous
about the whole process, those particularly back

After these loans are made Con the frozen
securities) the borrowing banks have a credit
with the Federal Reserve Bank for the amount
of the loan. They can now turn this credit into
Federal Reserve notes, to be used to strengthen
their cash position. :"
In short, they pool their securities which ars
the cause OF their bankruptcy and the Federal
Reserve Bank issues new paper money on the
basis OF this security which is handed out to tbs
workers and petty bourgeoisie as new money
Like Rolling SNOWFALL
So far as government bonds are concerned,
another bourgeois economist, Lewis Haney direc-
tor of the New York University Bureau Of Bust
ness Research, pointed out the vicious circle OF
this initiation policy. He said '"rhe government
trades its bonds for bank notes and bank notes
are issued on government bonds, without any
relation to business activity or requirements
"once started, it becomes cumulative, like
rolling SNOWFALL. Two immediate effects are the
recall OF gold by foreign countries and gold
boarding in this country. Both are already in
evidence
AS the crisis deepens and the budget deficit
grows greater, more bonds are issued, and then
more money on the bonds more banks near
bankruptcy and put in demands for loans ON
their frozen" assets, and still more money Is
issued. In this manner the process of initiation
grows from slow pace to trot, then to a fast
race. One effect already evident is that hoard=
Ing which formerly was in the form Of hoard
ing OF bank notes paper money!. Is now becocn-
ing the boarding OF gold.
50 far as the workers are concerned die re-
suits to their standard OF living from this pro
cess will be drastic. Wage-cuts continue Nov
with the drop in the value of money with
flood of inflated money prices will rise Along
with the general drive to lower the standard OF
living OF the American workers, the inflationary
movement will be used as powerful lever still

states obligations are made part security for
Federal Reserve note issues. These note issces
require a gold backing of 40 per cent, and the
amendments make change In that respect,
but the other so per cent may under the change
now made consist Of United States Government
obligations where, before, only commercial
paper could be SO used During the war
the utmost care was taken not to endow any
of the different Liberty Loan issues with the
circulation privileges. Now they stand forth
forth full Pledged as collateral for note issues
Mr.. Steagan entirely oyerIooks the fact
that in its original form the Reserve Act not
only made commercial paper the sole collateral
behind the Reserve note, but required full 100
per cent Of such collateral The 40 per cent
gold reserve was In addition. The 40 per cent
gold was meant as q further margin Of safety.
"The truth is the Federal Reserve banks have
been adding enormously to their holdings Of
United States Government obligations during
the last two years and are now carrying close
to s7s0.o00,000 of them, the exact total of the
present week being T41,S42,Oo0 At the same
time they have put into circulation IA bill
lion dollars more Of Federal Reserve notes
during hte' last - months, the total Of these
Reserve notes in actual circulation being re-
ported at s2,e5s, GAL 900 Feb. H. as compared
with only s144s,75e,Oeo on Feb. IS last year.
The volume Of Reserve notes having been 50
greatly expanded they have now reached the
limit or virtually the limit, and, accordingly,
find themselves under the necessity Of having
the limit extended"
Drastic War Time Step:
Thus, quite in line with Hoover's declaration
that this is national defense move of the cap
italists, the Federal Reserve banks take step
far more drastic than any taken during the last
world war Furthermore as the above points
out, "a billion in new money has already been
issued with the illegal" government bonds as a
basis and the Glass-Steagar bill merely makes
this process legal" stimulating the increased
issuance of more OF this inflated money.
Besides, the Glass Steagan bill provides fur
tler measure OF initiation by permitting actually
bankrupt banks TO continue to pay out paper
money without any, backing. The process by
which this is done Is rescribed by DR.. Edward
s. Mead professor of finance Of the Wharton
School, as follows:
