Struggle for the Elementary Needs
the Main Link in Winning the
Masses" by Jack Stachel, and the
report of T. Gusev at the 18th

League of Nations
Part in War Exposed
By Chinese Student

CHICAGO, Ill.-The part played
by the recent Lytton report and the
League of Nations in covering up the
war carried on by the japanese i'm
perialists in the Far East was ex-
posed at the Students Anti-War
Congress by G. G. Wang, of Column
bia University, who had been elected
to the Congress by a group OF Chi
nese students in New York.
Wang also pointed out that the
national revolutionary war carried on
by the Chinese masses under the
leadership of the Chinese Soviets is
an important factor in blocking the
intervention of the Soviet Union. In
this connection, Wang cited the &C
tivities of the Manchurian Red Army
under the red general Wang Teh-
Ling, and the Red Guard near the
Fushan mines and the partisan
troops, who are in the way Of the
Japanese imperialistic plot to attack
the Soviet Union through the eastern
section of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road
Two representatives Of Chinese
students Of Chicago, Yen and Wang,
were also present at the meeting.
Maxrnino De Gazman, a Philippine
student, attacked the fake Philippine
independence" bill recently passed
by Congress, and called for a resolu-
ton demanding the immediate and
unconditional Independence Of the
Philippine Islands.

Wisconsin Jobless Are
Robbed of Automobiles

OSHKOSH, Wisc.-There are about
$4,000 families on the relief list here
or about IS per cent Of the popula-
ton. They have just installed the
so-called Federal relief system here.
With nine So-called social workers or
shoppers at $4,000 a month and one
supervisor at $4,000 a month. The
commissioner gets raise from $1700
to $4,000 year. This man was state
organizer and now he Is starting to
rob the workers stomachs.
They ask the unemployed worker
to fill out an Application for just
what he wants for two weeks. If it
is too much to suit them they say
that other people are living on less,
etc.
The snooper comes around and
argues they cannot give so much,
they are limited, etc. This Is means
of steadily cutting down the workers
standard of living.
There is a lake here and the I'M
employed and part time workers and
farmers are fishing in it. They sell
the fish for a few nickels to get extra
food. The lake is dotted with little
shanties as it gets below zero.

THOMAS DODGES
ON U.SS.R. STAND
Says His Attack Not
Final Judgment"

NEW YORK.-In an attempt to
cover up his hatred of the Soviet
Union, shared in comraOn with the
iripartialists, Norman Thomas, soci-
alist leader, in a letter in the New
York Times of Jan. 2, declares that
his statement that he found less
hope now than six months ago" in
the Soviet way out Of the crisis is
not his final Judgment" The states
ment was made in Thomas address
to the so delegates at the League for
Industrial Democracy conference at
Barnard College In that address,
he deplored the revolutionary way
out of capitalist misery taken by the
Soviet masses in the october Pew
olution and called on the delegates
to "look more towards America and
not so much towards Russia"
In both his address and his present
letter Thomas pretends that eight
months ago he was more or less SYM
pathetic with the Soviet Union. He
pretends that the capitalist press re-
ports of food shortage in the Soviet
Union have caused him to change
his views and to see "less hope in
the Russian answer now than six or
eight months ago" This, despite the
notorious fact that Thomas. like
other leaders Of the Second (social-
ist) International, have all along
slandered the Soviet Union, mirimiz-
ing the tremendous achievements of
the Soviet masses in socialist con-
struction, while magnifying the diff
ficulties experienced in building up a
new world in a formerly backward
country surrounded by a ring of hos
tile capitalist powers.
Thomas's haste to explain his
statement as not his final judg-
ment" is proof Of the growing SYM
pathies of socialist rank and file
workers for the Soviet Union, fact
which all the socialist leaders are
desperately combating.

Strike in Feldman
Leatherc0at Shop
in Lynn, Mass

BOSTON. - The Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union has de-
clared strike against A. Feldman,
a leathercoat firm in Lynn, Mass.
The firm began producing skirts and
pants in its shop, and put in a sub
contractor, declaring him to be the
real boss, thereby attempting to avoid
Union control Of this department.
Instead Of putting his old help to
work, Mr.. Feldman hired new help
with the exception Of few of the old
workers.
The miserably low prices which he
paid to the new and old help for
making these garments brought
about a condition where the workers
could stand it no longer and went
out on strike.
AL workers of Feldman's shop, old
and new, are standing together and
are determined to fight until they
compel Feldman to increase their
prices and to recognize the control
of the Industrial Union in this de-
partment.

POWER MANEUVER
BY ROOSEVELT
Talks Public Control;
Aids War Preparation

NEW YORK.-The announcement
that President-elect 7/osevelt will
visit Muscle Shoals on Jan. 81, ac-
ocmpanied by Frank P. Walsh of the
New York State Power Authority,
Judge John McNinch of the Federal
Power Commission, and that an in
vitation to take part in the inspec-
ton tour has been sent Senator
George w. Norris, advocate of fed
eral operation of this huge hydro
electric development, now idle for
ten years, is continuation Of the
Roosevelt election Strategy relative
to public control" of water power
and electric projects.
One Result of insult Exposure
The collapse of the insult mono
poly as a result of the crisis and the
revelations made in connection with
it, which disclosed the vast extent Of
the mighty power it exercised, has
created a tremendous popular senti-
ment against the power trust which
Roosevelt is trying to capitalize by
advocacy of experimental public
control Of HYDRO electric develop
ments.
Popular Resentment
During his campaign President
elect Roosevelt endorsed a modified
Norris plan for Boulder Dam, the
Columbia River project, the st. Law
renee River development and Muscle
Shoals. 1t is believed by President
elect Roosevelt and his advisors that
a measure of governmental control
and perhaps some form of govern
ment operation for these immense
projects would tend to allay popular
resentment and discomfort, that it
would at the same time strengthen
the Roosevelt administration with
the liberal and progressive element
which places public ownership and
control of water power in the center
OF its program.
The Question OF Nitrogen Plants
There is no intention so far to be
seen in the Roosevelt program to
place under government control the
huge nitrogen fixation plants which
are one Of the principal features of
these power projects and which ere
becoming more and more the center
of the chemical and explosive in
dustry.
1t is announced, for instance, that
the nitrogen fixation plant at Muscle
Shoals will probably be leased" This
will satisfy the chemical and ex-
plosive interests dominated by the
DuPonts.
The War Drive
The main feature of this whole
n1aneuVer for clever connection OF
the federal government with CHEAP
and primary sources Of nitrogen.
phospahtaes, etc, is that all Of them
are basic for war preparations and
the conduct Of war which is now on
the order of the day.

Toledo Kids Balk at
Eating Rotten Xmas
Dinner Of "Relief"

TOLEDO, Ohio.--Men and women,
some of them holding babies in their
arms, stood in line for from three
to four hours waiting to be served
with chicken dinner. And when they
got in they we're served with chicken
that was in suchc bad condition that
even the hungriest child could not
possibly eat it, but left it on his plate.
At the table in front of where was
standing there we're four little boys
and they refused to eat the rotten
chicken.
The city mayor, A. @. Thatcher
came to the plates of those four
boys and gave them to q waitress
and told her to serve the other hun
CRY people, which she did.
At another table there were a
group Of newsboys waiting to be
served. They were told that they
had already eaten and refused to
serve them, but the boys claimed
with pleading voices that they had
not eaten yet. They were refused
and chased out. E.V.

Judge Penalties
JobIess Worker for
Having Children

POINT PLEASANT, N.J.-Harston
Frazee, an unemployed worker here,
was brought before County Judge
J. C. Giordano on a charge of failing
to pay 81 per week alimony to his
wife for the support of minor child
of his. Frazee told the judge that he
was willing to pay, but being out OF
work, he didn't have any money. The
smart" jurist gave Frazee two weeks
to pay up or go to jail.
The Judge added insult to injury
by telling this worker that the court
had nothing to do with bringing
children into this world and that he,
as the father, must see to it that
they are provided for. OF course the
Judge didn't tell Frazee how he could
get job.

that Isaac Don Levine is Just as
unreliable in his statements about
the standard of living of Soviet work

in which living standards have been
driven down to the bare subsistence

Demand Children
Get Food, Shoes
Demonstration w in S
Promise in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 3.-Sev-
eral hundred unemployed workers
and so white and Negro school chill
dren were present at the session Of
the City Council OF Pittsburgh and
presented demands for $3.50, 900
appropriation for milk, free hot
lunches, shoes and clothing for school
children. The spokesman Of the
delegation, Phil Frankfeld, pointed
out the conditions Of the children Of
the unemployed workers, calling at
tention to the fact that over $4,000
school children cannot attend school
because of undern0urishment, that
tens of thousands went to school but
were in no position to study, that
thousands more went without shoes
and needed clothing. Ben CarTllth-
ers, also Of the Unemployed Council,
called attention to the thousands Of
sick children in the City of Pitts
burgh.
Carruthers Exposes Casey.
Then the school board went into
session with the City Council and
DR.. Graham of the school board
spoke and pointed out the fact that
IS per cent of school children are
undernourished, 8,170 children were
receiving milk, but that thousands
who needed it could not and were
not getting it. DR.. Graham de-
clared: MANY children come to
school hungry, that in the high
schools $4,000 students were in no
position to buy meals"
Some of the members of the school
board corroborated the statements
made by the representative Of the
Unemployed Council, and one Of the
spokesman raised the question made
by Frankfeld that the 100000 saved
by the County Emergency Relief As
ISOLATION for the month of November
that part Of this should be used for
feeding the children. Mr.. Casey Of
the State Emergency Relief Board,
as well as some members of the City
Council, were opposed to the feeding
of school children on the ground
that "the home was the best place
to feed the children and not in the
schools" Towards the end Of the
session. when B. Carruthers spoke,
he smashed this argument by the
simple statement of fact that these
workers children had nothing to eat
at home, and he pointed to the aisles
of white and Negro children to cor
roborate this statement
May Force Relief Action.
A committee was set up to deter
mine the exact amount needed for
the feeding of children. Immediate
action was promised and 1t seems
definite that an appropriation Of at
least 100000 will be made by the
City Council for the hungry, under
nourished school children of Pitts
burgh.
Several times during the hearings
and during the speeches the delega-
ton applauded loudly their Spokes-
men. President Heron Of the City
Council on two occasions during the
hearing threatened to put out the
leaders of the delegation.
