HOSPITAL REFUSES
MEDICINE TO VET
Daily Worker,
Dear Editor:
Philadelphia, Pa.

Daily Worker,
Dear Editor:
AS l am reader of your paper
and an ex-serViceman, also born and
raised in the city of Philadelphia, I
have the following to relate:
Recently went to the Mt. Sinai
Hospital of South Philadelphia, To-
Gated at Fifth and Reed SITS. This
hospital is being supported by the
Federation Of Jewish Charities, char
ity drives, and by state appropria-
tons. They absolutely refused to
give me medicine which is needed
very badly. This discrimination is
practiced not only against me, but
also against all poor people of South
Philadelphia.
1 have gone to the Veterans Buro
on many occasions and, having been
turned down there, I went to the Mt.
Sinai Hospital because it was closer
to the house and didn't have car
fare, However, I received the same
treatment from the racketeers at Mt.
Sinai Hospital as I have received in
the past from similar racketeers of
other institutions, including the Vet
Grams Buro.
Fraternally yours,
Frank Miller.

Dear Comrades:
In the year 1917 7 was on the

the sea for a living, sailing mostly as
a cook on fore and aft schooners
coastwise and the Gulf of Mexico
On every corner in the city there
were signs telling the workers lot
of bull about what the German
troops were doing to the Belgians,
such as spearing babies on the ends
of their bayonets and raping women
and a lot of other boloney that came
out in the Hearst papers.
There were plenty of jobs on the
ships, and having some money, did
not see why wanted to go out Of
the states to another country and
carry a gun Or do any other war
work. I was over the draft age and
had nothing to worry about. But

WORDS AND DEEDS OF
ROOSEVELT

In a radio talk from Albany, Oc-
tober 13, 1882, Roosevelt declared
that he was utterly unwilling that
economy should be practiced at the
expense Of starving people" The
Democratic platform which he &C
cepted 100 per cent said: I'VE advo-
cate the full measure of justice and
generosity for all war veterans who
have suffered disability or disease
caused by or resulting from actual
service in time Of war and for their
dependents"
Slashes Veterans Relief.
Is any one to deny that veterans
and their dependents-are actually
starving? Or that they are suffer-
ing the after-effects Of imperialist
war? Surely the bonus march of
more than 10000 unemployed vets to
Washington was an emphatic af-
ftrmative answer to these questions.
Yet Roosevelt's economy program
calls for a $4oo,0o0,0oo slash in vet
erans' benefits.
Roosevelt'S specious economy pro-
gram is further exposed by the fact
that the army and navy appropria-
ton for 1933-34 amounts to the stag
gering sum of s565 900 000-a sum
which the organized unemployed de-
mand to be transferred for their inn
mediate relief rather than for the
purposes Of imperialist war. And
M. Swanson, Secretary of the Navy,
has just called for further warship
construction amounting to $3.50, 000,-

The recent announcement that the
LIBERATOR will appear within a
week as a weekly newspaper will be
greeted by thousands of Negro work
ers. The depression has made com
ditions of life and the problems fac
ing the Negro people of Harlem ex-
ceptionally difficult. A recent survey
OF unemployment, reported in the N.
Y. Herald Tribune. showed that "a
per cent Of the Negro working class
population of Harlem are without
jobs, Unemployment aid has become a
burning question among Negro work
ers, Yet they hardly receive any re-
lief. The relief agencies practice the
Vilest discrimination against them
Young single Negro men and women
receive no aid whatsoever.
High rents are driving two or more
Negro families into occupying one
flat. At the same time evictions are
increasing with leaps and bounds. Be-
cause of such poor housing, lack OF
food and proper clothing, the death
rate among the Negro workers of
Harlem is extremely high. Infant
mortality exceeds that Of other races
Of workers as much as three to one.
Against such widespread misery, the
united struggle Of Negro and white
workers must be sharpened.
A popular militant organ like the
Harlem Liberator will be the great
wedge in weakening the exploitation
Of the Negro masses. Located and
printed in Harlem, the HARLEM
LIBERATOR will not only guide and
aid the struggles of the Negro masses,
but 1t will also be an instrument for
exposing the Weakened, vacillsting
and treacherous policy of the Negro
reformists.
The demonstration of 500 Negro and
white workers before the East l25th
st. Home Relief Bureau a few days
ago, as well as the growing mass
struggle against the infamous Scots
boro frame-up are putting these re-
fornists into a hard corner. The re-
fornlist publications like the NEW
YORK NEWS and the NEW YORK
AGE are attempting to head off these
struggles, decidedly revolutionary in
content, and directed against the boss
class in order to lead them into chan
neis totally harmless to the Cypress
ors and enslavers of the Negro masses.
The HARLEM LIBESATOR will fun =
ther strengthen and help to broaden
these struggles, not only for the i'm
mediate demands Of the. masses -
unemployment relief, ETC., but also
against the whole national oppression

are drawing any compensation today.
Many Of the American workers in
the Canadian Army served with the
Canadian Engineers, Forestry Bat
talions, Army Service Corps, Medical
Corps. All these outfits are non-com-
batants and when on the line of fire,
they had no weapons to defend them
selves, Many Of them today are SUI
fering with stomach trouble on &C
count of rotten food served out by
the bosses In England. When veter-
an of the Canadian forces writes to
Ottawa for a pension on account of
his hardships in the army or tries
TO get medical aid, the bosses there
write a letter SO nice and sweet:
you did not get your disability in

On to Washington,
Although We Canadian vets got our
war bonus to the tune of $40 month
for six months after we were dis
charged, the country we served after
that forgot all about the American
vets that did the mopping up work
in France.
1t was only last year that the
American vets went to Washington
to try to collect their bonus from
Hoover, and all that parasite gave
them was dose of gas and machine
gun bullets, Many OF the veterans
said when they were driven from the
U. s. capital that they would change
the administration. They went home
and voted for the nominee on the
Democratic ticket (RoosevelN, just
another parasite that will put the
children Of the world war veterans
in barbed wire concentration camps
and teach them to be soldiers to kill
workers in some other country the
same way that ex-Democratic Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson did in 1917.
Veterans, in electing Roosevelt, you
sure made a hash of getting relief.
There is only one ticket you should
vote for and that is the workers
ticket, the Communist Party.
1t Is up to every veteran in the
U.S.A. to Join the Workers Ex-Ser-
vicemen's League and be in Washing

Of the bonus and stop the cutting
of the veterans compensation.

carry on the struggle. Your fight is

WAR SENTIMENT
Vet Warns We Must
Watch Boss Moves

6alGlInOE6, ma.
Dear Comrades:
Sunday, March 26, the American
Legion Posts put on a regular fascist
parade in the Polish workers district
here in Baltimore. In this parade
the starving unemployed, eX-army
veterans, were conspicuously missing
There was a major from Washing
ton that an army official introduced
as private in the last slaughter OF
workers (the world war;. This So
called major was named Parker. He
said q lot of blah about the U. S. A.
being never whipped by any nation
and what the Red, White and Blue
stood for. He forgot to mention
about the workers that were killed
in Europe for that same flag that
the Wall Street parasites own. What
took my attention to this demon
stration was that there we're many
flags with crosses on the top Of the
poles and the members of the Legion
Posts carried rifles TO protect these
same crosses. Yes, this was another
parade to show the unemployed here
in Baltimore that the American
Legion is a fascist organization to
keep the starving masses in Subor-
dination by the right of them hay
ing the guns.
Mayor Jackson was given a medal
Il guess for letting 10000 unemployed
workers starve on the stagger sys-
tenn The Baltimore News writes
that only 80 members out of 400 that
went to the slaughter in Europe ever
returned. The bosses are now advo-
eating a new war against the U. s..
S. r., against the workers that had
quits enough to throw the bosses out
and carry or their own struggles.
We here in the States have to watch
every little move or the bosses will
have us in the same way that butcher
Hitler has the workers in Germany.
The American Legion will be in the
U, S, A, what the Nazis are in Ger
many. We unemployed seamen must
watch and struggle against these
members Of the American Legion or
we will be murdered by them or their
leaders. Al Mcbride.
This worker is not correct in char
acterlZing the members Of the Amer
lean Legion as fascists or murderers.
Tens Of thousands of rank and file
Legion members are bitterly resentfuI
of the betrayal of their leaders and
want a real struggle against the cuts
in veterans benefits and for immetli-
ate payment of the bonus. 1t Is the
task of the rank and file of all vet
Grams organizations to organize a
broad united front in this struggle
and to march en- masse to Washing
ton May IL to present their demands.
The indiscriminate use of such terms
as fascist" can only serve to split
the unity of the veterans movement.
II is necessary at all times to make
a sharp distinction between the
treacherous leaders and the rank and
file.-Editor.
