A Costly Neav Deal

THE Roosevelt regime charges the workers heavily for
the privilege of starving. The New Deal, learn,
is an expensive proposition which the workers are
paying for now, and will pay for more heavily in the
future, if Roosevelt and his class have their way.
balance sheet Of the cost of the New Deal was
published yesterday by DR.. Virgil E. Jordan, president
of the National Industrial Conference Board, CAPT
talist statistical agency.
From this financial summary of the price paid for
the continuation OF mass starvation we learn that
Roosevets New Deal has already cost $5,135 1000
DR.. Jordan kindly pro-rates it per capita basis,
stating that 1t means every man, woman and child
in the United States will have to pay over 500 to
the government, in some way other.
Where did this fifteen billion dollars go? The
greater portion of it went to banks and huge corpora
TONS The next biggest slice went for war appropra-
tons, under the guise of public works. Some more
was supposed to have gone to farms and for relief.
But the farmers demonstrating that they received
no help whatsoever and resisting starvation The
unemployed being yanked off of the relief rolls
and told to starve as best they may.
The fifteen billion dollar New Deal hand-out
to the big trusts and the industries The very
same Industrial Conference Board previously admitted
that under the New Deal real wages Ghe amount of
food clothing, etc. the workers can buy went down
under the New Deal
Now the workers told they must pay for lower
wages increased unemployment greater attacks against
their rights, and for war preparations.
THE logic OF the New Deal is to lower the standards
of living, smash the workers right to organize and
strike and then hand the workers and farmers bill
Of fifteen billion dollars for it.
Every time worker takes bite of bread he
tributes to the fifteen billion dollar and corpora
ton loan item If the worker buys shirt or other
piece Of cotton goods he contributes But the noun
famous cost of the New Deal is young and growing
Justify. Roosevelts wild imitation schemes will cost
still more and the workers will be told TO foot the
bill.
More loans will be given to the banks more infa-
tonary will be inaugIrated prices will go
up still higher, and the workers will be bounded by
the double attack of lowered standard of living and
increased taxation to pay for the Roosevelt govern
ments expense in carrying out this policy.
Rooseyelt's New Deal is not only full of cards
marked against the working class but the whole pack
contains the insignia of the skull and bones of
starvation for the toilng masses.

Yankee imperialism and the inciplent
bourgeoisie of the colonies, and
the American League OF Nations, con-
stitute the double offensive OF Yankee
against British Imperialism, in or
der % drive the latter out of South
America. The two formulas, drawn
up with great generalization, form
D substitute for the putrefying Mon
roe Doctrine, which smells Of impcss-
ton, military intervention, bloody
tyranny, hunger and crime.
Roosevelts New Formula
Because the Cuban masses have
created enormous difficulties, Roose-
welt is utilizing the situation in an
attempt to demonstrate to the peo-
pies of Souh America and the Carib-
bean that the imperialist e'772h Of
the Yankee government has ended.
The interview between President
Roosevelt and the diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes in Washington of num-
Der of countries in order TO discuss
"fraternally" the danger" of inter-
vention in Cuba, is the application of
the new formula of "multilateral in
tervent,on" discovered in Washing
ton. This will be presented at the
next Pan-American Congress as a
conclusion to the discussion left I'M
finished at the last Congress, held
in Havana, on the right Of interven-
ton. This interview in Washington
had as its object the creation Of the
illusion that the capitalist regime of
the United States has been cured of
its former imperialist "vice" and that
it is now disposed to work in spirit
Of brotherhood with the countries op.

Storm Clouds
We shall not discuss now the we'll
known fact that military intervention
is neither the fundamental aspect nor
the basic phenomenon of imperial
ism; nor the fact that the economic
and political domination determined
by the investment of capital is the
main characteristic of imperialism,
although we see that the history of
Yankee imperialism abounds in acts
of violence in the subjugated coun-
tiles, and that these acts will be re-
peated whenever it's interests in them
are threatened. The important fact
is that, as was agreed at the last
Pan-American Congress, the Right of
Intervention will be discussed in

Demand 0usting Of
WeIles from Cuba;
AidsCOunter Revolt
Grau Gov WANTS Some
One Less Discredited
from Roosevelt

HAVANA, Nov. IA demand that
Wall Streets Ambassador to Cuba,
Sumner P. Welles, be withdrawn be-
cause of his completely in the coun-
ter-reyolt last week, was voiced by
influential individuals and newspapers
backing the Grau regime today.
Those voicing the demand openly
declared that it would be easier for
the Grau government to establish
relations with the Roosevelt govern
ment if Welles is withdrawn.
President Grau's supporters de-
clare that Welles encouraged the
Abe uprising. Sergio Carlo, rich
newspaper publisher, stated that
Welles conferred with the ABC lead
ers Of last weeks uprising before
they went into action.
AT the same time, Carbos news
paper praised Roosevelt enthusiastic
ally, trying to drew distinction in
the minds of the Cuban masses be-
tween Welles, who is carrying out
Roosevelt's Wall Street policy and the
President of the United States
The students newspaper, Alma
Mater declared that Welles en-
couraged the counter-revolt, and has
since the overthrow of Machado at
tempted to lead counter-revolts. They
stated that Welles was responsible
for the uprising of the officers OF
the Machado regime at the National
Hotel recently.
The students demanded Welles be
given his passport and be ousted from
Cuba.
The open assault on Welles arises
from the bitter anti-Wall Street SEN
timent among the workers and peas
ants. The Grau regime hopes that
by replacing Welles by another am
bassador it will be easier for them
to strengthen their tie with the
Roosevelt regime in the interest Of
the American bankers.

vestigation had been made in Hen
ningsdorf to check up on Van der
Lubbe's story, although Lubbe him
self stated he had met several ac-
quaintanceS there. Dimitroff pointed
out that the investigation" made on
Oct. 81 had been too late to discover
anything,
A criminal named While, brought to
the court directly from prison, as
serted he met Dimitroff in the Moa-
sit prison-yard after Dimitroff's ar
rest. He declared that another pris-
oner, Krause, showed Dimitroff a
newspaper containing photography OF
himself and the other defendants,
accusing them of the arson.
While asserted that Diynitroff be-
came 'pale and frightened" This
statement was avidly confirmed by
Krause who, with his fellow criminal,
is preiuring himself in an effort to
secure Communication Of their SEN
fences from the Nazi dictatorship.
Dimitroff, who has shown exem-
plary courage throughout the trial,
declared that he was not
frightened but amazed at the absurd
accusation. The presiding judge here
again reprimanded Dimitroff for his
use of the term absurd accusation" =;
declaring Dimitroff was insc ent and
once more threatening him with ex-
pulsion from the court.
The next witness, a landlord, testi-
fed that Dimjtrof had rented room
from him in 1881. Dimitroff declared
this testimony tallies with his own
statement: II have told the truth
about myself and refuse to make any
statements about the Communist
Party of Germany, with which l was
never connected" he said
Detectives Te-s-y

about documents alleged to have been

Braschwitz stated that the police be-

Central European Bureau Of the Con-
munist International. He declared
that Dimitroffs activities were GER

detective stated that in the docu-
ments allegedly found in Dimitrof1' S

room, they discovered certain names
connected with certain functions"
He stated that in these documents
Din7itroff's pseudonym was Helmut.
The prosecutor helpfully announced
he remembered Helmut as defend
ant in the Cheka Trial. The detectives
again produced the notorious Berlin
map with the palace, Reichstag and
other public buildings marked with
blue crosses. The Nazis have used
this map in an attempt to prove
that the German Communist Party
had planned a series of arsons of
public buildings.
Dimitroff Tehemently protested he
had never seen the documents al
legged to have been found in his
room. He repeated his former de-
claration that the crosses on the Ber-
lin map were made by a third per-
son, after the map had been taken
from him by the police. He did not
know anyone by the name of Hell

ton Helmut, which the detectives
alleged to have been found in his
room. Furthermore, declared Dirnit-
rolf, there never was any Central
European Bureau of the Communist
International.
One of the detectives swore that
the material found in Dimitrof' S
room had been treated according to
police regulations. Dilnitroff here
clashed with the detectives, the pro-
seoutor and the presiding judge, de-
nouncing the documents as forgeries.
He demanded the names of the fire
commission, since it was clear that
private persons, storm troopers and
guard corps had laid hands on the
material allegedly conf1scated from
his room. This the detectives nat
urally denied.

Questioned by reporters on the
statement made two days ago by a
Cuban Senator advocating American

Chinese Red Army
Advances; SEXES
Arms in Szecfluan
Sixth Anti-C Communist
Drive Failing to
Stop Gains

SHANGHAI, Nov. 11-7Severe fight
ing is now going on in the provinces
of Kiangsi and Szechuan, with the
Chinese Red Armies Of the Soviet
districts making advances against the
furious attempt OF Chang Kai Shek
to stem the gains of the SoViets by a
heavy concentration Of troops in the
Sixth Anti-C Communist drive.
The greatest gains Of the Red
Army are being made in Szechuan
province, in the western portion Of
China. In its drive towards the
Yangtze River, the. Red Army cap
tured the cities Of Hsuiting, Haul
duan, Wanyuan and Chenkou. The
objective OF the attack is the seizure
Of Wanshien, which would give the
Soviets in Szechuan control of river
traffic going into the province and a
base for penetration eastward to-
wards Hankow The Red Army
seized 10000 rifles and 100000
rounds Of ammunition in its latest
advance. This means more workers
and peasants can be armed, and the
Red Army strengthened for greater
advances.
Severe Fighting In Kiangsi
The fighting in Kiangsi, seat OF
the Central Soviet Government, is
especially severe, with many dead re-
ported For five years, Chang Kai
Shek has concentrated hundreds Of
thousands of soldiers in this territory
in an effort to destroy this district.
His efforts have failed miserably. The
Red Army during this period has
been able to extend the Soviet terri
tory into Fukien province, against
the famous 10Th Route Army.
While Chang Kai Shek increases
his war against the Soviet territories,
the Marking government yesterday
decreed that there should be no anti
imperialist propaganda permitted on
the occasion of the celebration of the
overthrow of this Mancilu dynasty.
All of the Kuomintang newspapers
admitted that the conditions of the
Chinese masses are infinitely worse
than they were 20 years ago"

STATE BUDGET

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. PA bud
get slashed by at least $1,500, 1000
and perhaps more will be sub
mitted by Governor Ritchie to
the Senate Finance Committee
and the House Ways and Means
Committee late today.
Consideration of general sales
tax in the State has been
dropped, it was learned from ad-
ministration leaders, and the
economies will be effected by
means of salary cuts and reduc-
ton in expenditures.
Among special taxes expected
to be voted is one on the pari-
mutual bets. An impost of 2 or 3
per cent is expected to produce
considerable revenue from this
source without opposition.
Nearly every department in the
State will be effected by the
drastic cuts being planned in the
budget. School appropriations
will be the hardest hit, it was
said, with slash Of $500,000 or
more expected.
Plans for affording tax relief
and for refunding the $12,000,00O
Baltimore relief bond issue will
be revealed by the governor later
this week.
