The Danger of War Against the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics Persists

diplomatic and economic history Of
the Far East leaves no room for
doubt that on the basis of capitalism
the sharp conflict ripening between
Japan and America cannot be pre-
vented"
AS the second contradiction which
can and will Lead to new world
butchery, Lenin indicated the antag-
onism between England and the
United States:
England and France have won,
but they are up TO their ears in debt
to America, who, ignoring the vic
tor pose of the French and the
English, is determined to skim the
cream and to collect the interest
and compound interest for the sup
port granted during the war. To
ensure this is the purpose of the
American fleet at present under
construction, which exceeds the En-
glish in size"
There are deeper causes for this
which are connected with the de-
velopment of the interests of En-
glish imperialism which rules over
an incredible number Of colonies, In
this respect deeper antagonism ex-
lists between American and English
imperialism, and it is our absolute
duty to base ourselves upon this an
tagonism E"
And as the third main antagonism
in the camp of imperialism, Lenin
indicated the struggle of Germany
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-09-30

against Versailles:
"And the third conflict flares up
between the Entente Powers and
Germany. Germany is defeated,
it has been fettered by the Yer
sailies Treaty, but Germany has
gigantic economic possibilities at
her disposal. AS far as economic
development is concerned, Germany
is the second country in the world,
if the United States is considered
the first country. And such a conn
try was forced to accept the Yer
sailles Treaty and within the scope
of this treaty, Germany cannot live.
Germany is one of the strongest
and most progressive imperialist
Powers, and it cannot tolerate the
Versailles Treaty"
And besides the struggle of Ger.
many against Versailles, Lenin see!
the development of imperialist an.
taganism along the following lines:
1--WE witness the -accentuatinl
enmity over the sharing of the booty
obtained, between Italy and France
between France and England, be.
tween England and America, between
America and Japan"
And Lenin also predicted how, or
this basis, the chauvinism and ma.

AT HOME. 1t is a lesson for every
country, that in Germany under the
bestial Nazi terror, all opposition,
even the most tinlid and harmless
has been brutally trushed-with a
single exception. There was one
force that Hitler could not destroy,
which will even nally destroy Fas-
cism, - the revolutionary workers
movement, organized and led in
daily struggle by the heroic German
Communist Party.
IN Geneva the old farce of the
League of Nations Disarmament
Conference is being repeated. The
war-makers again come together to
talk peace, to try tc persuade the
ether to disarm, while zach is more
fever:shly piling up ornaments him
self. All their tax of peace is
merely to Supply the masses, to
dampen their anti-War spirit, to quiet
their alarm, to make it easier to
prepare war.
This Congress Against War must
not be a mere smaller edition of the
hypocritical, treacherous League of
Nations. This Congress must not
disarm the mass movement against
war. On the contrary, it must give
to those broad masses who hate war,
who sincerely want to fight against
it, a program whereby they can
develop a powerful, effective struggle.
1t must expose the false friends of
peace who really serve the war
makers. 1t must rouse the workers,
the poor farmers, the women, the
youth, the Negroes, the oppressed
people, to action. 1t must especially
issue its call to the workers on the
chips, the docks, the munitions
plants, the coal mines, the railroads.
1t must call for obstruction and
strike movements against war pre-
parations and munitions shipments.
l. must win the men in the armed
forces for the struggle against war.
&c must rouse mass demonstrations
against war. 1t must organize and
lead an unyielding struggle against
all misleaders of the masses who, by
trickery and hypocricy, try to draw
them into the war machine.

Army Base Workers. Earnings
Cut for the Benefit of Grafters

plain to see that the workers of the
Base will have no protection under
the civil service laws.
For many years the policy of the
government has been to fill no va
cancies caused by resignation or sep
aration from the service, and in con-
sequence, many of the sections are far
behind in their work and are COM
PEELED to work overtime without adj
ditional compensation whenever a
rush shipment is to be gotten out.
AS, at the present time, there is no
additional compensation for increased
responsibility, there is likewise no
incentive for an employee to i'm
prove his work or to become more
efficient, as he knows that even if
he has to assume the responsibility Of
foreman his pay will remain the same
as at present. Likewise, under the
present system, skilled laborer or
mechanic who has earned promotion
by working in a section three years
or more, has no hope of ever getting
an increase although he may have
learned to do as good work as the
man alongside him who draws twice
his pay.
The workers of the Army Base have
a union known as the Federal EN-
ployees Union. During the drive for
reduction of government expenses
through the press and radio by the
National Economy League "a nom
partisan citizens organizathn Jr
public service, composed of bank di-
rectorS), this union made absolutely
no attempt to rally the workers Of
the Base to fight it. Instead, they
strongly stressed patriotism, ie., that
the employee who is forced to con-
tribute Is per cent of his meager
salary should not mind 1t, because he
is helping his country to fight the
depression.
We workers are finding out now
how the money taken from our mea-
ger salaries is being used. We read
Of billions being given away by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton to railroads and bankers to en-
able them to pay large dividends to
their stockholders, and now this or
ganizatipn proposes to loan money to
manufacturers who were refused
loans by bankers because they we're
not considered good risks. We assume
these risks.
The government employee gets 1t
coming and going. The government is
drowning 100000 pigs and paying
the farmers $685. 900 for them out OF
the $125, O00,0 900 taken from us by the
is per cent cut. This is being done
to raise the cost of pork to us.
Our is per cent cut is also being
used to pay farmers for destroying
thousands of dollars worth of live
stock, wheat, cotton, etc. This raises
the price Of these commodities to us
and reduces still further our real
wages.
Army Base workers who belong to
the union should demand that the
heads of the union Immediately call
a meeting Of all employees Of the
Base to put before Roosevelt a re-
quest for the return of our Is per
cent wage cut and for an additional
increase in pay OF 20 per cent or
more, above our base pay, to meet
the rising cost Of living.
The workers should organize them
selves into rank and file committees
in each section to fight the threat of
the stagger system and the break
down OF their protection under the
civil service laws.

Federal Barge Line
Seeks Strikebreakers
BY a Marine Worker Corr

BY Marine Worker Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The superintend-
ent Of the Federal Barge Line here in
st. Louis has started a dirty deal
for the MWIU. members who just
won strike, the first victory for the
workers on the st. Louis river front.
Odell, the Lily White superintend-
emit, has started the old system of
picking workers that used to work on
the docks and barges two or more
years ago that we're fired on account
of being drunk while on the Job.
These workers say they won't join
the union, but the Dock Committees
are on the Job to see that they either
join the M.WI.U. or keep away from
the docks.
Odell also tells the workers II there
is another strike he will call out the
army to put the workers In their
place.
The only place for workers here In
st. Louis is in the T.U.UL. organiza-
ton that fights against wage cuts
and starvation.

~ oh fAiAhy DdSC correspondent
Editors Note: The Army Base in
Brooklyn is large federal insti-
tuition employing at the present
time about l 100 workers. All kinds
OF equipment with the exception of
munitions, is stored here for ship
ment by the Quartermaster, Signal,
Engineer and Medical Corps of the
Army. There are also several
shops for the repair of equipment
and the maintenance of buildings.
The pay of the employees has been
reduced by Is per cent, in addition
to which deduction of 31a per cent
is taken from our basic salary for
the retirement fund, and our annual
leave has been cut from 30 to Is days.
We face rs per cent reduction in
government expenses, to balance the
budget through reorganization, I"
which Roosevelt promised us in July
but which has been deferred until
December. This reduction may take
the form of a 90-day furlough with
out pay.
However, in view of the fact that
the Navy Yards have received IT
per cent cut in addition to their IS
per cent cut, making a total of about
80 per cent, and that all per diem
workers on river and harbor projects
are being put on 30-hour week
October l, we may expect that Roose-
welt will keep the faith by returning
to us our Is per cent cut, and then
putting us on 30-hour week. This
will be the old stagger system by
which, possibly, few more men may
be put to work but by reduction of
our living standards by 80 Ia per
cent.
All kinds of schemes were used by
the government to keep from paying
wages to deserving men out Of en-
ployment. The government went to
great expense to build iron cages
at the Base in which army convicts
were confined. These convicts were
formed into small labor gangs under
supervision of an armed guard and
were used for rewarehousing and
other work. Many of these men were
desperate characters with prison SEN
fences ranging as high as 20 years.
A number of these prisoners es-
capped by smuggling their guards, and
the employees at the Base were in
constant fear Of being shot by
guards trying to prevent the escape
Of the convicts.
This scheme Of convict labor lasted
about eight months and left about
$50 men ON the civil service rolls from
obtaining employment. Finally, due
to complaints about the escaping of
convicts by the residents in the
neighborhood, the plan was aban-
doned.
The next plan to keep workers on
the civil service rolls from obtaining
employment was the introduction Of
unemployed workers from the New
York City Relief Administration.
Many Of these men were used in the
repair and upkeep Of buildings, such
as painting, concreting, whitewash-
ing, roofing, etc. At the present time
all Of these men have been laid off
for lack of funds.
If the Base authorities can get no
more help Of this kind from the city,
the. next group of men to be employed
will probably be those hired under
the NRA or public works program.
These men will not be required to
pass civil service examinations and
will work only 30 hours a week, as
specified under the MIRA.
If this scheme Is put over, 1t Is

BESSIE LOVE: IS AT COL ISEUM IN DIFFICULT ROLE
Morals for Women Mod ern Drama-C Conway
 TearIe in Cast

In enc of the most difficult roles she has ever attempted, Bss- sic Love turns in a. performance long to be remembered at the Coliseum Theatre where Morals For Women" is playing.
 Strictly modern in its theme, Morals For Women" tells the story of a girl who has slipped from the path of virtue, literally forced there by economic demands from her family She tries to escape when she finds a real love, but family burdens again send her back to her butterfly life, where she is willing to sacrifice her one love on the altar of family affection.
 Conway Tearle. John Holland, David Rollins, June Clyde, Natalie Moorehead, Lima Basquette, Vir- ginia Lee Corbin and Edmund Breese are seen in the principal supporting roles and each delivers worthy performance.
 Morals For Women" is strong fare-but it deals with a problem that exists in every city in the world. Director Mort Blumenstock has handled Frances Hyland's ori- glnal story with skill and finesse that removes any objectionable features and adds many touches of delightfully."- human comedy to the picture.

PLAY GIRL" IS STORY OF LOVE
 AND BUSINESS
Capitol Theatre Presents Loretta Young, Norman
 Foster, w. Lightner

Play Girl,9 the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone picture featuring Loretta Young as the business girl who thinks she can win financial security and a brilliant carea~ without the responsibilities ot motherhood or the bondage of love, opens today at the Capitol Theatre.
 It is youthful devil-may -care chap, making his livelihood by gambling, who changes her out look on. life, and starts her out on the adventurous and thrilling course which is so movingly por- trayed in Play Girl. The lover is played by Norman Foster, a re- cruit from the stage, whose in- depreciation is said to make the part memorable. The emotional intensity of the story is frightened by the clever comedy of Winnie Lightner, as the heroines pal and department store mate-and by Guy Kibbee as Winnie's unappre- ciated wooer.
 The amazing understanding of the feminine point of view dis played in Play Girl" is possibly due to it's feminine participants Miss Young, Maude Fulton, who adapted the story, and Maurine Watkins, who wrote the story for the screen. Many of the scenes are in the thronging precincts of huge department store. Ray En- right directed and mention should be made of the unusual photo graphy by Gregg Poland
 Others in the large cast are James Ellison, Edward Van Sloan, Dorothy Burgess, Polly Walters, Mae Madison, Noel Madison, Nat Pendleton and Flora Finch.
