accumulation of a mass of commodi-
ties all out Of proportion to the in
creasingly restricted purchasing power
of the masses of the people. Pro-
duction increased, but the proportion
received by the toiling masses was
less. In short, it was clear that the
factories would soon close down due
to their inability to sell the goods
they produced.
Capitalism was about to enter q
new crisis brought on by overprOduc-
ton, regular periodical capitalist
crisis. but one made many times
more serious than usual because this
regular cyclical crisis was developing
in g. period of sharpened imperialist
antagonists, of agrarian crisis, Of
colonial revolt, of growing class an
tagonisms-in period of the general
postwar crisis of capitalism. We
were clearly headed for the most
severe crisis the capitalist world had
ever known. This the Communist
Party clearly established one year be-
fore the crisis actually began.
The Crisis Breaks
In 1929, after maturing from early
spring, the crisis broke in all its fury
in October. The ruling class itself,
the bankers, the manufacturers, the
merchants, and their political hench-
men, was taken by surprise. A tenn
porary depression, they thought, had
struck the country; it would quickly
be overcome; the Golden Era" would
again be realized. Hoover issued the
first of his numerous promises OF
prosperity in sixty days" This view
was still Ghare| bu Re0uh' IS,
Democrat, IL. r. Of il. leaders, So
cialistS, MusteiteS and renegades. All
were so thoroughly saturated with
prosperity ballyhoo that they could
not believe a serious crisis had begun.
The Communist Party, basing it.
self on its original analysis, insisted
that there could be no return Of
prosperity" as promised by Hoover;
we predicted crisis of most serious
proportions and of long duration. We
demanded, already in 1929, adequate
relief for the unemployed, nation
wide public works program, and I'M
employment insurance; we fought
against layoffs, against Hoover's
stagger system, and against wage
cuts = against all attempts to force
the workers to bear the burdens OF
the crisis.
TOR more than two years Hoover
L followed do-nothing policy, and
only in the last half of his admin
stration was any crisis program I'M
dertaken. When he did move it was
only to help the rich, the bankers,
the big manufacturers, the railroad
companies, the big landlords. HIS
crisis theory was that by pouring
federal subsidies in at the top, the
funds made available by the govern
ment Through increased tax burdens
on the poor would gradually filter
down to the workers and poor farm
ers, bringing thereby universal pros
perity. True to his reactionary the
cries he consistently refused federal
relief for the unemployed and became
the leader of the capitalist attacks
On the workers living standards. The

unfounded yeast advertising. The
letter refers to yeast ads quoting al
legged topnotchers of the Vienna
Medical School on the magical bene-
fits Of yeast. 1t says that not one
OF the seven Viennese doctors who
were quoted so effusively was q
teacher or member Of the board

BY MILTON HOWARD

Is Roosevelt fighting Wall Street
ing liberal front against the re-
dictionary front of the Tories" the
Wall Street capitalists? Is Roose-
welt defending the interests Of the
masses against Wall Street when he
fights for initiation?
Are the most powerful banks in Wall
Street fighting the Roosevelt initiation
program? Is it true, as Roosevelt S
supporters declare, that Wall Street
is fighting Roosevelt because his pro-
gram hurts them and helps the
masses?
1t would be absolutely false to an
swer these questions in the affirm
alive. And yet that is what the lib
eral papers and the capitalist press
is trying to tell the workers. That
is what the crafty Detroit priest,
Coughlin, is trying to tell the workers.
Let us examine the situation.
Indirect Wage Cut
Suppose the capitalist employers of
the country were to announce tomor-
row that all workers must accept a
is to 20 per cent reduction in their
wages. What would happen? There
would be a wave of strikes and pro-
tests that would begin to endanger
the whole capitalist structure. There
would be mass anger and rebellion
all over the country.
But that Is just what Roosevelt is
doing through his inflationary pro-
gram. Here we have the root purpose
OF the whole thing--to cut wages in
such a way as to fool the workers, in
such way as not to arouse their
anger.
Roosevelt promised the capitalists
who put him up for office that he
would get them out OF the crisis. What
did he mean by that? He meant
that he would stop their losses, that
he would increase their profits, par
ticularly the profits OF the Wall Street
monopolies. And 1t is through infla-
ton that he is trying to fulfill that
promise.
How does it work? Roosevelt is
cheapening the dollar by reducing it's
gold content, by reducing the security
behind the currency. This means that
prices rise, that the same number Of
dollars now buys less and less goods.
Already the workers dollar can buy
16 per cent less food than in March.
This also applies to clothes, rent,
etc. This means that even though
the number of dollars the workers get
may remain the same, actually their
wages are being cut!
Through initiation, therefore, Roose-
welt is putting over on the workers
indirectly, what the capitalists would
not dare to put over directly.
But at the present time, under
Roosevelt, not only are the wages be-
ing cut indirectly through reduced

Roosevelt Initiation Is the Program of the Wall St. Monoboe
SUPPORTS

Now 1t is absolutely essential t.
remember that the most powerful
bank in Wall Street, the J. P. Nor
gans are finance capitalists. That
| is. their investments are in monopoly
industry, in the Steel Corporation
in General Motors, in railroads, etc
And, much as they fear the perils OF
initiation for them. the EIorganS SUD-
port the Roosevelt initiation program
In fact Morgan visited Roosevelt
only three weeks ago to confirm his
support, presumably. Let it not be
forgotten that Morgan supported
Roosevelt Fundamentally VIII r
Roosevelt went off the gold standard
q few months ago.
The Roosevelt initiation program is
the program of the most powerful
clique Of Wall Street monopoly and
finance capitalists.
In actual fact, the huge S11 ,000,-
100000 subsidy that Roosevelt has
dumped into the lap of Wall Street
banks. ETC., and now has to pay for
through cheapening the currency by
initiation, is one of the most power
full forces driving Roosevelt toward
eVer-increasing initiation.
So Wall Street is getting huge
benefits through initiation.
Talk Against "TorieS"
But what about the Roosevelt
radical Talk against the Tories"
and the powerful interests etc?
What about the fight that certain
Wall Street groups are putting up
against Roosevelt?
In answer to these questions it
must first be said that every time
Roosevelt launches new attack on
the workers in the interest of Wall
Street, he covers it up with a cloud
of words about the money inter-
eSts."
In the second place, there are GER
tain very definite groups in Wall
Street that are opposed to initiation,
at least to the kind Roosevelt is
giving them.
These are the investment bankers
whose fortunes come from bond in
terest, loan payments, etc. These
interests want stability in the money
markets, for that is when they thrive
best. That is when they can sell
new bond issues easily and make
profits through the lending Of money
to industry. Such firm is Kuhn,
Loeb, and Company for instance.
Such a firm holds huge invest
ments in Government bonds, and
since cheapenlng currency lowers the
value of bonds, whose income is fixed,
and therefore depreciates as the
dollar depreciates, Kuhn, Loeb is
fearful of the inevitability of un-
controlled initiation.
1t is primarily from such groups
that the present opposition to the
Roosevelt initiation comes. From the
more powerful Morgans, the big

mother of Georges friend. Nice
things we both did in Sofia. We went
together to the German embassy; we

petitions we would put the German
embassy on fire. The whole city got
excited seeing us old women jailed.
Finally the police thought it wise to
let us go again"
+ A newsboy pushed himself through
the crowd offering the evening papers.
Paraskeva became fidgety-she wants
paper-someone must read and
translate to her the latest kilograms
about the trial. This is done. Today
an important alibi was established
for Dimitroff. One witness testified
that she had seen and spoken to Dl-
mitroff in the train from Munich

well, more testimony in favor of
George. You see, the whole world
proves that George is innocent. 1t
is impossible that they convict him.
| I, too, will speak for him in court"
The company stands downcast;
dark forebodings Cypress them. But
Paraskeva, from the train window,
confidently waves her little dry hand.
Slowly the train pulls out; the little
figure in the black shawl disappears
into the darkness, that tireless and
irrepressible proletarian mother.
