all the actions of the Party for May
First resulted in playing down some
Of the central demands of the Party
Thus, while practically all demonstra-
tons were organized around immed-
late issues, this was not the case
everywhere. This accounts for the
weakness of the demonstrations in
such places as Youngstown and Can
ton, where last year militant dem
onstrations took place, precisely be-
cause the local problems we're brought
to the forefront. Unemployment and
social insurance, while no doubt en-
phssized in the speeches at the dem
onstrations, was not made the CEN
trail issue at all united front confer
ences and was in many cases COM
pletely omitted from the agitation for
May LIST. A concrete exposure of the
Roosevelt program, bringing forward
the proper demands that the situa-
ton in the country requires, still plays
an insufficiently central role in the
agitation. A systematic campaign was
not conducted TO consciously begin
to break down The illusions created by
the Roosevelt program and to utilize
the May First mobilization especially
for actions against the effects of the
Roosevelt program. The struggle
against imperiaHst war and the dan
ger of an attack against the Soviet
Union was in many cases not prom
inently and in other places complete
ly absent from the agitation.

DROP GOLD
CLAUSE FROM
u. S. BONDS
Houses Passes Bill AS
Weapon in Currency
War; Dollar Falls

WASHINGTON, May Boy an
overwhelming vote the House of Rep
resentativeS passed the Roosevelt re-
solution which cancels the gold guar
antse clauses in all government bonds
and private contracts.
This means that all government
payments can now be made in paper
money, even when the government
promised to pay gold. BY this bill
the government violates its promise
to pay its debts in gold, and sets the
Roosevelt government another step
along the road of currency initiation,
The canceling of the gold clause"
is part of the fight between the Uni
ted States and the European powers
for markets for goods Both Great
Britain and the United States want
TO cheaper their currency in order
that the other less cheap curreneies
VIII be able to buy their goods. It
is hoped this would stimulate the eX-
port Of American goods.
The cancellation of the gold clause
is also evidence Of coming further
cheapening of the purchasing power
OF the dollar, and higher prices for
common necessities.
The American dollar today suffered
another sharp drop on the intsrna-
tional money markets, falling lower
than it has been in the last half CEN
tury. The dollar is now worth 50
cents in terms Of foreign currencies.
Currency War.
The currency war between Great
Britain and the United States is now
going on in dead earnest. At the same
time that Roosevelt cancels the gold
clause in order to make the dollar
fall, the Bank of England is putting
into action its enormous Equalization
Fund with which it buys American
dollars and sells English pounds in
order to keep the pound down and
the dollar up, since the cheaper cur
rency has an advantage in the strug-
gle for markets.
q. S. to Set Up Fighting Fund.
Thus, Roosevelt matches the Brit
ish Equalization Fund with the can
collation. Of the gold clause. 1t is also
admitted that the United States is
preparing to set up a Fund similar tc
Englands in order to fight the Bank
of England
The next step in the fight against
Britain which Roosevelt has in store
is the devaluation of the dollar, the
reduction of the legal amount of gold
in the gold dollar. This would be
another tremendous initiation of the
currency.
In response to these inflationary
moves of the Roosevelt government
prices have been rising steadily and
sharply, causing drop in the living
standards of the masses.

ITALIAN P AP E R
Trade Union Unity
League Issues Call
to All Workers x

NEW YORK. The National Exec
utive Board of the Trade Union Uni
ty League has announced its endorse
ment of the Campaign to make a
daily paper Of the weekly "L'Unita
Operaia,' to serve the interests of
the Italian toiling masses in the Uni
ted States. 1t has pledged its full
support to this campaign and calls
upon all workers in the country to
lend their Wholehearted and active
support.
THE crisis, the intolerable condi-
tons of the masses" the T,U.UL.
statement reads, ARE resulting in
the growth of the revolutionary
movement. This growth is clearly
reflected among the Italian workers,
who are entering into all struggles
in greater numbers than ever before.
THAT the italian workers are tax
ing up the struggle under revolu-
tionary leadership can be seen from
the response to the weekly "LUnita
Operaia," which already has about
1000 readers. But now the tasks
confronting the Italian workers de
mand that the paper be as quickly
as possible transformed into a daily.
1--WE call upon all Italian workers
throughout the country to support
the campaign to build the Italian
daily. We call upon all T. U. u. L.
organizations, upon all revolutionary
workers to give support in this cam
paign.
Forward TO powerful daily

gasoline taxes in the present bill. and
for the inclusion of a general manu-
facturers Sales Tax instead.
To Protect Big Incomes.
This is being done to draw away
attention from the fact that the
Roosevelt Administration has con-
sistently refused TO reduce the bud
get deficit by increasing tine surtaxe5
on large incomes and big corpora
lions
The failure of the Treasury De-
partment to collect taxes from the
Morgans during years in which they
made enormous profits running into
hundreds of millions of dollars, IS
being used as preteXt to fight
against taxing the swollen incomes
and profits of the rich.
Because rich bankers. like the
Morgans, and rich capitalist coupon
clippers. are able to avoid paying
income tax by squirming through the
loop holes in the income tax laws,
leading senators, are making drive,
not for more stringent income tax
laws that will not permit the rich TO
get away, but for the abandonment
Of the income tax principle altogeth-
err. and for the substitution Of Sales
Taxes.
1t is admitted by the most reac-
tionary of capitalist economists that
such taxes on manufactured goods
and everyday necessities falls with
the greatest weight on the consumers,
the workers, the small income sec
ions of the people.

make concessions to prejudice.
Race prejudice and the oppression
of the Negroes have been among the
chief factors in making the Southern
working -elass, white and Negro, the
most oppressed group in the coun-
try. To bow before this prejudice is
the most terrible treachery, not only
to the Southern Negroes, but also to
the Southern white workers.
These comrades underestimate the
intelligence of the Southern whites
in two ways: They imagine that they
can be fooled into the Party, and
they underestimate their ability to
understand and fight for equal rights
for Negroes.
Our Proposals Abstract
What, then, is the trouble with
our work among the white workers?
1t is not bringing forward our full
Negro program, but rather the fol-
lowing.
u We have appealed to the white
masses in general, and in the alb
stract. We must now concentrate on
certain section of white workers,
say in given mill, or in Ensley Dir
mingham), and raise the most con-
crete everyday issues, and stick to 1t
until something is built.
p In bringing forward our Negro
program, We have made abstract ap-
peals to the white workers. We have
failed to show them, concretely, how
they are kept down because of the di-
vision Of the ranks of the workers,
because of the existence of a group
of super-exploited people, forced to
work longer hours for less wages.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-05-31
MAY FIRST PAVED THE WAY FOR

role, bringing before the workers its
position, its program-the way out
for the masses of workers from the
crisis. Especially, is this seen in our
failure TO contrast capitalism and So
cialism-the establishment of the pro-
letarian dictatorship as the only way
out for the toiling masses.
Such actions and mobilizations I'M
der the leadership of the Party must
serve to strengthen the influence and
organizational strength of the Party
to weld it more firmly with the
MASSES Of toilers. In Analysing the
recruiting during the month of April
in the largest districts as well as
throughout the country, one can
readily see that the building of the
Party was not sufficiently a part Of
the daily preparations. While it is
correct that last year the Party con-
Quoted an intensive recruiting cam
paign during the month of April,
it nevertheless cannot overlook the
fact that this year The possibilities for
building the Party are much greater,
And YET, the recruiting during April
was practically the same as last year.
In many large districts the recruit
ing was even less. This failure to
build the Party still reflects the sep
aration of Party recruiting from the
daily mass activity.
The beginnings made in May First,
despite the many shortcomings, lay
the basis for extending the leadership
Of the Party. But this necessitates a
careful follow-up of the work con-
Quoted before and on May First
craving in these masses into local
actions, then a further development
Of the united front tactics, proving to
them through these concrete strug-
giles, that the Party is their leader.

CONCLUSION

Despite these definite advances
made in some localities, serious weak
nesses we're evident everywhere in the
attempts TO apply correctly the Boil
shevik tactic of the united front
There was an over-emphasis on nego-
tiations with the leadership, even
though in most cases the local leader
ship, of the reformist organizations
The maneuvers Of the leaders of the
S. P. and A. F. of l.. organizations
were not sufficiently exposed before
the masses Of workers. There was too
much of reliance upon the decisions
of the local leadership without suffi-
cient activity among the rank and
file of these organizations, keeping
them fully informed on the steps in
the negotiations and organizing the
unity below around the most immed-
late burning issues confronting the
workers.. This accounts for the rela-
lively small number of A. F.. of L.
local unions and S. P. branches par
ticipating in this action.
In many localities. however, we
we're still unable to break with the
sectarianism, resulting in very mar
row May First conferences and rally
ing only small numbers of workers on
May First (Kansas). At the same
time in other places we witnessed the
opportunist distortions of the united
front tactics in making appeals d.
rect to churches for May Day (Buf-

Unity in Struggle

NEW YORK.-The Marine Work
ers Industrial Union has issued call
to all workers of this port in the
shipping industry to come to con-
ference June 4, II am at the Union
Hall, 40 Broad ST., to map out a
united Ian of struggle for full man
ming scales, three watches and I'M
employment insurance and relief at
the expense of the ship owners and
government and for the elimination
of workaways.
The union sent the call to the
heads of the International Seamen's
Union, Marine Transport Workers
G.W.W), Associated Marine Workers
(towboatmen), Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association, Neptune AS
ISOLATION and Masters, Mates and Pr
lots Association.
To date the union has received no
reply from any Of them. But thou
sands of printed copies of the call
are being circulated among the
members of these different organiza-
tions. The conference is for the pur-
pose Of uniting all those engaged on
ships in common struggle.
The call cites the fact that over
100000 seamen of all ranks are on
the beach while ships sail with insult
ficient crews and "workaWays." II
points out that where the seamen
have made a militant united stand
against workawsys, as on the Car
largo, where is of them we're driven
