yUE give today some reasons why do not hest
w tate to call upon the working class for material support
for the Daily Worker, and why absolutely that
the workers will respond:
The Daily Worker is at the head of the advance guard
in the fight for Unemployment Insurance and the struggle
for Unemployment Relief and Compulsory Federal Unem
poyment Insurance at the expense of the government
and the employers.
There is no other daily paper in the United States
IN the native language Of the country that carries this
fight for the mobilization of the American workers to
these fundamental demands For this reason upon
the Daily Worker falls the leadership of the struggle
against the whole hunger program of the Wall Street gov
eminent AS the central organ of the Communist PARTY
it has consistently carried this task For instance
long before the crash in October 1929 which marked the
advent of the crisis the worst in the history of American
capitalism the Daily Worker pointing out continually
that there being created at the height of the
boom period, permanent army of unemployed workers
running into millions.
1T the central organ Of the Communist Party that
sent cut the call for the demonstrations for inn
mediate relief and unemployment insurance March 9Th
1880 to which more than million workers responded.
1t was the tremendous demonstrations on this day
that exposed the lies of the employers and bankers who
up until that time had been denying that there was any
unemployment in the United States, 1t will be remembered
that Comrdes Foster Minor (who was then editor Of
the Daily Worker) Amter and Raymond went to jail
for their leadership of the mighty struggle
memorable fight marked the beginning of the time
When the workers demands had to be taken seriously But
it was only beginning The struggle now has to be
raised to much higher plane For the crisis has deep
ened and now the struggle for relief for more relief for
lower rents, against eyctions and for compulsory Fed
era Unemployment Insurance for ALL workers has be-
come in real than ever before struggle
for the right of workers to live.
The number of unemployed has risen until there are
today in the United States than 16 million In the
railway industry alone the number of workers has been
reduced from 100000 in 1929 $4,000 in 1885, In this
industry alone than 100000 workers have been
thrown out into The streets
Part time work is universal throughout the United
STATES the Official figures on unemployment do not ex
plain this fact In the Building Trades the percentage Of
unemployment is about 50 per cent But the Is per cent
employed are working only from to three DAYS per

london JObless March

LONDON, England, Feb. s.
One hundred and fifty thousand
workers, marching at the call Of
the British Trade Union Cong
ress, Labor Party, and Unem-
ployed Committee (Which led the
last national hunger march, met
in Hyde Park this afternoon.
Promptly, whatever banners
hey had followed to the park
he entire multitude kindled at
the speech of Wal Harrington,
Communist, just out of Jail for
leading the national hunger
march and took up the shout:
Revolutionary Action" and
Down with the government Of
The Capitalist Glass"
Harrington spoke twice from
different platforms, and declared;
Repression, imprisonment and
persecution will not prevent us
from forming the workers into
battle lines and going forward
TO overthrow the national Gov
eminent"
Police made few arrests but
did not break up the crowd. Re-
solutions denouncing the Mac
Donald government for dole cuts
and the Means test were I'M
aaiInously adopted.

D. Markell of Elk Point and his two
sons, Harry and Keath are picking

Moratorium Spreads.
The two largest mortgage holding
banks Of Wood County, Ohio, de-
clzred years moratorium on fore
closures Of farms yesterday. At the
same time the governor OF Tennes-

mortgage holders for Feb. 10, to take
up the question of moratoriums Gov
ernor Blackwood of South Carolina
called meeting for next Wednes-
day OF the mortgage holders of that
state to discuss postponing of all
foreclosures. And Governor Horner
Of Illinois yesterday issued a formal
appeal to large mortgage owners to
stop foreclosing.
Hrner's appeal is pretty tricky. 1t
shows that 1t was made most unwil-
lingIy. and forced from him, like the
moratorium decisions already made
by the big insurance companies and
banks and some governors, by the
militant action of farmers who are
stopping the sales.
Horner asks the big mortgage hold
ers to "use the utmost forbearance
after thorough investigation, in car
rying through seizure of the farmers
land, because agriculture, one Of the
basic industries OF Illinois, has suf-
fercd more perhaps than any other
industry In our state. He says that

SENATOR KENDRICK

CENATOR JOHN B. KENDRICK of wyo-
~ ming, who died in his 77th year last
week, was good cowboy, good cattle ranch
er and a good millionaire. He was also good
senator.
Perhaps it was because he preferred his
saddle to a club armchair, stayed rooted in
the prairie loan of his 200 OOO-acre ranch and
remained intimate with starry western skies
At any rate he never lost touch with the plain
people.
He fought for our entry into the League of
Nations, was co-author of the Kenyon -Kend-
rick act to regulate meat-packing aided the
late Senator Walsh in exposing the Teapot
Dome scandal. favored repeal, farm relief and
liberal laws.
He died, one might say, with his boots on.
He had just won government aid for the
Casper-Alcova reclamation power project, his
hobby for decade, when he was stricken at
his desk His cup was full.

Of goods, all our expenditures will end up by
being nothing more than dole in hopeless
relief system.
The one hope which Mr.. Roosevelt had of
success was to shoot the works" with every
possible device available, while public loyalty
and expectation were at fever heat. Under
such circumstances, he had at least a des-
perate gambling chance of saving capitalism
and establishing his reputation as the great
est American statesman of all time.
If, instead of punching his efforts in one
grand slam, he strings along his remedies for
depression, futiely trying each out singly,
paralyzing failure is inevitable. In the end,
he and the depression will both be at the bot
tom of the ditch sharing a common and mis-
cradle fate.
We can not afford to wait or be patient
unless everything possible is being done to get
the necessary results. Every month of tagging
business brings about loss of prestige for the
President, breaks down the unity of his fol-
lowing, encourages his partisan opponents and
invites congressional rebellion.

M. E. Tracy Says:

THEORETICALLY the dollar is now worth
l. less than IS cents. If this meant anything
TO average people, they would be getting more
than 81. for the amount of goods or labor
which brought 81 eight months ago. They are
not, which is the real fly in the ointment.
Setting price on the little amount of new
gold that may be mined has no effect on the
general value of money. Because of the anti
boarding law, gold is not marketable COM
modify in this country. Other governments
know this and are paying little attention to the
grandStand play.
On an average this country produces 40 or
oU million dollars In new gold each year. so
per cent increase Of the price which the gov
eminent is willing to pay might conceivably step
up the output, but to no considerable extent
The trading in gold which has been author
lied is surrounded by too many limitations to
make it OF any Importance
instead of the dollar going down in foreign
exchange, as many of our bright economists ex-
pected 1t would, the dollar went up.
A DDED to that, foreign governments were
n not impressed sufficiently to raise the price
OF gold after the first furry of excitement while
IN this country, the stock market displayed any,
thing but the buoyant tendency which was
looked for.
The point is of course, that theoretical de-
valuation of the dollar fails to satisfy the OBJ
vious need.
People are not demanding cheaper money for
the mere sake of having it cheaper They don't
give whoop whether financial spectators can
make profit by swapping dollars for pounds
or vice versa. What they want is a change that
will find immediate and dependable reflection in
an advance Of prices and wages so that they
can meet their obligations on an equitable basis.
The high dollar has led to a shrinkage of
income throughout the nation low do1a
will do no good, unless it leads to an expansion
not in theory but in fact.
MYTH the NRA as basis of operation. there
w is no reason why the dollar could not be
lowered by specific percentage and wage scales
raised by a similar percentage all along the line
That would square devaluation with earning
power.
If something of the kind is not done, the
debt load can only drive this nation farther
into bankruptcy.
The American people face obligations which
they can not meet under the existing setup The
idea is that they can borrow, drink, or specu-
late their way out is ridiculous. The philosophy
OF curtailed production a cure-an is even
worse. We are not going to make more by doing
less. Our need is work, not idleness. and our
hope lies in a gradually expanded consumption
both at home and abroad. First of all, however
the financial setup must be so rearranged that
average people can meet their debt installments
pay their taxes and take care of running
expenses.
