ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Cartoorists' Anemia

Dei.--1n reply to your letter in the
Daily Worker of Nov. %, we wish
to advise you that you are not suf-
fering from anemia, either physical
or mental. The trouble may be due
to poor circulation which is liable to
manifest itself in cold feet. To pre-
vent you from getting into this state
we are hereby sending you 81 as
bid for the original of your cartoon
in the Nov. % issue Of the Daily
Worker. You are in class by your
self in the field of black and white
illustration and if you resolutely be-
gin to auction off your cartoons, we
are sure that your symptoms of
anemia will disappear and that you
will recover promptly from your
imaginary disease. We urge the other
comrades to bid for your cartoons
and we are sure that you will soon
surpass all your competitors in the
socialist competition, including the
writer.

Rumor Soviet Union
Will Be Recognized
Before November |

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Within
the next ten weeks, the United States
Government will recognize the Soviet
Union, it was predicted today by
very high officials in the Roosevelt
administration. November LIST is the
date mentioned as the approximate
time, when the announcement will
be made.
These rumors have grown In the
last few weeks since the head Of the
Amtorg Trading Corporation, Peter
Bogdanov, had been holding CONVEX
sations with Jesse Jones, Roosevelt's
appointed chairman Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, re-
garding large commercial credits to
the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union is ready to buy
enormous quantities of American
machinery, cotton, etc, If the proper
credit arrangements can be arrived
at. Arrangements for credits have
been practically completed, officials
said.

A police captain explained with

"Not in a decade has there
been such a widespread use of
force against workers and
farmers as there is today under the
MIRA said Dunno, representing the
Trade Union Unity League. The COM
mittee, in addition to Dunno, that
saw the President, consisted of A. j.
Music, chairman: F. E. Brown, of
typographical Union No. 6, and Will
liam B. Spofford, of the American
Civil Liberties Union.
To the mass of evidence of sup
preston of workers rights under the
NR.A., cutting of relief and lowering
of wages, Roosevelt replied with the
cheap gesture of police magistrate,
saying that at the conclusion of sign
ing of the codes his intention "is to
select some outstanding violation and
hold up the employer and spank
him."
How is it, Dunno asked, "that the
whole force of MIA. conciliators so
far has been directed against strik-
ers?"
That is true" brazenly admitted
Roosevelt.
"Your own pronouncement," Dunno
said, ION the suspension of strikes,
places weapon in the hands of the
employers"
Dunno cited the killing of two Phil
adelphia hosiery strikers for de-
handing higher wages when the
MIRA. code was signed. He told of
the shooting of Pennsylvania miners.
Organized terror and hundreds of
arrests and raids on miners homes

law and drumhead trials are handed

Sl24,OOO,OOO From
Public Works Fund
Goes to u. S. Army

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.--
Following the recent statement
of Public Works Administra-
tor Ickes, deploring the slow
ness in spending the $780,
100000 set aside in the public works
fund, the Government today allotted
$54, TOO 900 in immediate grants to the
United States Army.
The money is to be used to equip
and modernize SO Army posts
throughout the country. Such con-
struction includes the building OF ma
chine gun ranges, training barracks,
etc.
Several weeks ago $4,000, 900 was
granted to the Army for rifles and
bullets.
In addition, the War Department
has been granted $4,000, 900 to make
river and harbor improvements nee
cessary for more efficient military
movements. This is in addition to
the regular s25o,ooo,oo0 budget ap-
preparation.
Already s23S,Oo0o0o has been grant,
ed by the Public Works administra-
ton to the Navy Department for the
construction of bombing planes, bat
tleships, etc.
Roosevelt's Secretary of the Navy,
Swanson, has put in requests, for
another appropriation of $l5s, 900, 900
for further Naval construction.
The total Army and Navy appro-
priations to date from the Public
Works Fund totals at least $370-
100000.

INVADE CUBA
Warships Near Land
With Troops Massed
For Landing

HAVANA, Sept. 21.-Ready
for momentary landing, ma
rines and sailors were drawn
up in formation on the deck of
the United States destroyer
No. $40 in Havana Harbor for dis
embarking to invade Cuba in order
to shoot down workers and peasants
to preserve Wall Street domination.
Alongside was the ammunition
ship Nitro filled with explosives, air
plane bombs, machine guns, thou
sands of rounds of bullets, and other
deadly weapons to use against the
revolutionary Cuban masses.
Other warships steamed near the
harbor with heavy troop concentra-
tons, ready for landing, but kept out
of sight of the shore.
The reason for the preparations
for imminent armed intervention by
the landing OF troops was the grow
ing strikes and discretionary move
mentS developing throughout the is
land.
At the same time Grau San Mar
tin concentrated troops in Cuba, par
ticularly cavalry and machine gun
units around the presidential palace,
in order to shoot down demonstra-
tons against his government, now
receiving the favorable attention of
Wall Street.
Revolutionists are being shot down
and arrested by the Grau govern
ment. Prisoners were brought in
today from Camaguey and lodged in
the same Cabana Fortress used by
Machado for his murderous deeds.
-Four workers were killed at San
tiago de Cuba when soldiers fired
into Communist demonstration.
In Havana, when a group of work
ers and students attempted to seize
Machado supporters in the home of
ex-President Machado's -in-law,
Jose Emilio Obregon, the government
guards fired into the crowd, killing
two and wounding many.
The Grau San Martin government,
emboldened by the presence of the
marines and American armed forces,
is resorting openly to reactionary
deeds in an attempt to crush the
rising revolutionary forces of the
workers and peasants.
The strike movement is still
spreading throughout the island, and
Grau San Martin has offered a few
concessions in an attempt to break
the back of the strike. Thus far he
has not succeeded.
The food shortage is becoming
more serious every day.
The rich landowners and capital
lists are boarding and storing up
food, preparing for armed struggles
against the toiling population.
Ell Mundo, one of the leading pa
pers here, printed the headline: 1--WE
are in open civil warl"
Meanwhile, the 300 officers who are
in hotel, are permitted to arm
themselves and join in the attempt
to establish a ter-revolutionary
government.

Obviously reeling from the
blow struck Nazi prestige" by the
formal findings of the International
Commission Of distinguished jurists
which just ended its sessions in Lon
don, the Hitler government hurriedly
changed its strategy. The London
commission, after carefully sitting all
available evidence and after hearing
large number Of witnesses, not
only absolved the Communists of all
guilt, but on the contrary charged
the Nazis with responsibility for the
Reichstag fire as part of plot Il
"discredit their opponents
The sensation of the morning
session was the declaration by Ma
rinus van der Lubbe, 24-year-
imbeciIe Hollander accused by the
Nazis as the actual incendiary, that
he was not a Communist.
Van der Lubbe was the first to be
led into the courtroom, handcuffed
between two guards, followed by Ernst
Torgler, for many years chairman OF
the Communist deputies in the Ger
man Reichstag.
TorgIer looked worn and ENACT
ated from his six months of con-
finement in chains in Moabit
Prison, Berlin. His eyes, however,
blazed as he faced the fascist judges
named to perform the job of Nazi
executioners.
Among the spectators in the court
room was Torgler's wife. Their Is
year-old son had been witness last
week before the International Com
mission of jurists sitting in London.
All eyes were upon Torgler as he
was brought into the courtroom. I'm
mediately behind Torgler were George
Dimitroff, 81, leader of the Com
munist Party of Bulgaria, who took
part in the 1923 uprising of the Bull
garian working class; Blagoi Popoff,

Trend to Initiation
Grows Stronger As
Prices Move Higher

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-That
Roosevelt will have to announce
some form of currency initiation
soon, unless he is willing to let the
artifically stimulated price level
crash downward, is being openly
predicted by government officials.
The persistent, marked weakness
in the dollar exchange is being Of
fered as strong confirmation of
this opinion. The dollar struck a
new low of SO cents yesterday as
American millionaires who no
longer consider the dollar safe are
exchanging their investments into
foreign currencies, especially the
English sterling.
Meanwhile, Roosevelt is confer

as to what step to take next in
order to keep prices moving up

NEW YORK, Sept. II.
Wildly reflecting the reduced
purchasing power of the con-
Stunning masses in the face of
steadily rising prices, depart
ment store sales in the metropoli-
tan area for the first two weeks
in September showed a decline of 6.5
per cent from last years figures, the
New York Federal Reserve Bank re-
vealed today.
This announcement followed the
report made by leading chain grocery
stores of similar declines in food buy
ing.
It was during this week that the
MIRA. officials we're making the
most urgent appeals to the public
for increased buying. The figures
indicate the complete failure of the
NRA "buy now" campaign.
The figures of decline made public
by the Federal Reserve Bank do not
indicate the full extent of the de-
cline, since they are based on higher
price levels. Actually, the decline in
the purchase of goods is much great
OF than the 6 per cent figure quoted
above, because it has taken place
while prices in department stores ad-
vanced from 10 to SO per cent.
At the same time that these re-
ports Of sharply reduced buying are
made public, the Government re-
port OF the Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics indicates that wholesale prices
are still rising, the index for the
week ending September Is reaching
7o.5, compared with Sc on March IA,
when Roosevelt took office.
