For example, one of the greatest
which the Commune made
was to permit the bourgeoisie to vote
and have the same democratic rights
as the workers.
"The Central Committee of the
Commune" says Marx, was
guilty of a decisive mistake in
not at once marching upon YER
sailles, then completely helpless,
and thus putting an end to the
conspiracies Of Theirs. Instead
of this, the capitalist party of
order was again allowed to try
its strength at the ballot
where they exchanged bland
words Of Cancellation with their
t0o-generous conquerors, mutter-
ing In their hearts solemn vows
to exterminate them in due time"

faster than the prices of the goods
which the farmer sells.
But the workers in the cities will
have to pay higher prices for milk,
cream, eggs, meats, and bread as a
result Of the Roosevelt initiation pro-
gram.
Prices Rising Faster than Dollar
Drops
The Federal Reserve Banks report
for this month shows that since Feb
ruary the prices Of six basic conmo-
dities have risen by so per cent. At
least 80 per cent Of this rise, says the
banks report, is due to the cheaper
ing Of the dollar.
During that time the dollar depre-
ciated is per cent in value. That is
to say, prices are rising faster than
the dollar is depreciating. This
means that the consumers purchas-
ing power is being more rapidly cut
than even the dollar is depreciating.
In the last four weeks, all commo-
dity prices rose from / to 3 points on
the Bureau of Labor Statistics index.
The commodities include all farm
products, foods, hides and leather
products, textile products, building
materials, chemicals and drugs, and
house furnishing goods.
The Roosevelt government is max
ing desperate efforts to raise prices
and to keep them up by various kinds
OF inflationary measures. At the
World Economic Conference, the
U. S. delegation has insisted that it
will fight to the end to maintain the
present price rise by initiation. 1t is
for this reason that the American
delegation is opposed to any stabili-
cation Of the dollar, since any sta
bilization Of the dollar at high
figure will cause all prices to tumble.

the capitalist press, modihes and cuts
TO pieces the former TnesgTe relief
bills.
The policy of the bill is contained
in the first section. 1t states there is
national emergency in the form Of
an economic crisis, mass unemploy-
ment and mass irnpoverishment. Roo
sevelt's first answer to this crisis is
TO remove distractions to the free
flow Of interstate commerce" There
were no such barriers to remove to
the free flow of interstate com
merce" The only trouble has been
commerce has dropped to nearly
nothing, due, as Karl Marx predicted
decades ago, to the imminent bar
rier Of capitalism ITSELF" because Of
the crisis which is undermining cap
italism.
What is actually meant by the re-
moval of trade barriers, by Roose-
welt and Wall Street, is in reality the
breaking down Of the limited checks
to the further domination over the
lives Of the masses by big monopolies.
But here arise some difficulties. To
put forward this program, unadul-
terated, exactly as the leading bank
ers desire it. would arouse too much
immediate opposition. In the first
place, the great mass Of workers,
from their experience in the United
States Steel Corporation, in the
Western Electric, Standard Oil, and
in hundreds of other plants of the
big monopolies, would know the real
nature of such move. At the same
time, the petty bourgeoisie, the small
er industrialists, would see in this
move blow to their already weak
ened position. So the crassest class
collaboration clause is added, which
the bill says is ito induce and main
tain united action Of labor and man
agement under adequate government
sanction"
Thus, 50 far as the workers are
concerned, the aim and result of the
bill to them will be a smashing at
tack in the most complicated and
confusing form. Roosevelt and Green
talk. about collective bargaining and
mass wage improvements in order to
win the workers for the program of
/ imperialism. The liberals and social
lists talk about planned economy"
socialist traits, new age Of non
competitive capitalism in order to
stave of the revolutionary ideas fast
growing among the American work
ers.
(Note:-The next article deals fur
ther with the, details of the bill, es-
pecially showing how the bosses hope
TO raise their profits at the expense
of the workers, how they will organ
lie their cartels. 1t will show, de-
spite the lies of RooEevelt, how he
will use the bill in the interest OF the
biggest corporations and bankers.)
