Especial to The Citizenl

CHICAGO, July 10.-The Chi
cago Cubs, National League
champions, defeated the New
York Giants in both games of a
twin bill, and climbed into third
place. The victory was the result
CT the brilliant pitching of Lonnie
Warneke and Bud Timing.
The Brooklyn Dodgers and the
st. Louis Cardinals split honors in
their double bill, the Dodgers TAX
ing the opener, 5 to 6. The score
in the second was 20. A single by
0rsatti and doubles by Medwick
and Watkins gave the Redbirds
the nightcap.
The Boston Braves won from
the Cincinnati Reds twice in their
doubleheader. Only four percent
age points kept the Cincinnati
team from sharing the National
League cellar with the idle Phillies
after losing the double bill.
The Washington Senators de-
feated the Cleveland Indians and
the Red Sox split a twin bill with
the Browns. The New York
Yankees downed the Detroit Tigers

national income, by reducing the
total wages of the working class
through cheapened money.
In the last four months, thanks to
the Roosevelt program, food costs
have leaped upward 10 per cent. At
most, wages have increased per
cent, and only for handful of work
ers at that.
This deadly spreading scissors be-
tween rising prices and tagging
wages is one of the most character
istic results of the Roosevelt liberal
State capitalism" In fact, it lies at
the very heart of Roosevelt's pro-
gram.
And, incredible as it may seem, the
Socialist" Norman Thomas ap-
proves of this mflationary robbery.
Has he not repeated time and time
again that he favors controlled in
flation"--or controlled robbery?
THE codes are a method of increas-
ing the concentration of capital
Admittedly, they will tend to drive
the small retailers out of business.
Among the railroads, the Roosevelt
program is effecting a Tightening of
the grip of Wall Street, through
forced mergers.
Thomas praises Roosevelt for 'sav-
ing the banks" This is a typical
example OF socialist" sleight-of-
hand. What really happened is that
the state stepped in and with the aid
of almost $4,000, 100000 collected from
the workers in taxes, saved the bank
ers from any serious Losses. The
state assumed the losses of the eapi-
talists, with the workers money.
And every capitalist finance ex-
pert knows that the Roosevelt pro-
gram is leading to gigantic concen-
tration and strengthening of finance

monopoly capital. Why, the latest
issue Of the Kiplinger Letter, con-
fdential Washington news letter
states:
1.-THE government will become part
owner Of many banks (under the
Roosevelt program) many weak
banks, and will use this ownership to
ease the weaker banks into mergers
within the next few years -"
So it is clearly the purpose of the
Roosevelt government to interfere in
business, not for the purpose Of
weakening the capitalist class, but to
concentrate the power still further
in its hands.
1t is this process of the fusion of
the most powerful section of Wall
Street finance capital with the state
for the sole purpose of increasing
profits of the capitalists, that is de-
scribed by the socialist leaders every
where as estate capitalism with
anti-capitalist tendencies influ
enced by socialist agitation +. !"
: 1t is pretty clear that Thomas is
trying to get the workers to believe
that the state is no longer the OPP
pressor of the workers, but has be-
come peoples state" fighting for
the workers against the capitalists.
But what is the true meaning of
Roosevelt's program of active partici-
patton in the country's economy?
1t is essentially the historic continu-
alton Of its main function-to act as
the executive committee of the
capitalist class (Marx).
1t is the continued profound deep
ening of the crisis that makes it i'm
perative for the capitalists to intro
duce new tactics in its assault on
the workers. In addition to the
well-tried normal methods of shift
ing the load of the crisis upon the

system on a new foundation, cutting
out the old rotten parts, ana sub
shutting new durable caes, they
started piscing it together."
Capitalism has not collapsed. II
is in deep, general crisis, but the
capitalist class rules, plumbers
starves the masses even more than
ever. 1t prepares for new word
slaughtcr3. Private property reia-
lions are securely intact. The great
task Of making it collapse and put
ting in its place the power OF the
workers and ney social order is
the foremost job of the revolutionary
working class. When capitalism had
collapsed in Germany after the
world war, the Socialists shot Com
munists in order to put capitalism
on its feet again.
Baskin's Lament
But most astounding and reveal
ing of all is the Socialists lament
that instead Of trying to build up
a healthy strong capitalism cutting
out the old rotten parts, and substi-
tuting durable ones"-to parpstuate
capitalism-they started piecing it
together. Basl,in wants to tell them
how to rebuild it 50 it won't ccllcpsc
again.
IN its collapse, capitalism, TO save
l itself, throws the workers a bone,
says the Socialist spologizsr. TIE
MIRA is a concession. Socialists OF
all countries have always fought fer
every improvement in the lives OF the
workers. That is, after all why So
cialists participate in the parlia-
mentary fight. We have looked upon
Parliament as tribune from which
to agitate and gain the ear OF the
workers"

lists for icing able to COMPRESS mo:e

sprinkling of holy water on the ma
chine guns and cannons in war time.
DUT withall, the main purpose of
u Mr.. Baskin is to revive the work
ers' faith in the MIRA, preaching
them on the good" to be expected
from the Blue Eagle, while saving
the Socialist Party for parachute
leap from the Blue Eagle when its
CORY tallons become too obvious to
all workers.
1--WE are not inclined to shout that
the entire Recovery Act is swindle
designed to blind the eyes of the
masses" writes Baskin, that the
gains of the workers in some indus
tries are completely devoid of value"
1t is ironical that William Green
is forced to put up the bluff of fight
ing against the whole mess Of codes
passed because ''wages are too low
and hours too long, while the So
cialist cries bravo" for the gains
made.
Cheating NRA
To leave himself a hole to crawl
out of, Basidn does some tall squirm-
ing. He first of all defends the gov
eminent against the bosses who are
cheating" on the MIRA. He says
they rush production to avoid higher
wages. The MIRA is good, it is a
gain for the workers. But the bad
bosses cheat the impartial" govern
ment. If that isn't putting one
over the government, what ISL" he
asks with the satisfaction of one
who has found the real culprit-not
the capitalist dictatorship but the
individual capitalist who won't play
according to the beneficial rules
Roosevelt has designed.
Wages and Prices
Still fearful that many workers
will not understand, and insist on
striking for higher wages after the
Socialists assure them that the MIRA
has brought them advantages, Bas-
kin proceeds to explain:
GAS regards the workers, prices will
soar higher and higher, and the in
crease in wages will in all probability
be just enough to make bare adj
justment of the new conditions In
other words, the capitalist class, no
matter how liberal it is, will give
the worker just enough to keep body

and soul together Emphasis in
originaD.
If there ever was swindle, here
is one In not single instance un-
Ger the MIRA with it's average Of
s12 minimum wage) have the work
ers received anywhere near enough
to meet the rise in prices. The MIRA
holds wages down to a minimum
starvation level, while Roosevelt with
his initiation shoots up the price of
foor. The whole program of Roose-
velt connected with the NRA-wheat,
cotton, hog tax-it designed to double
the cost of living, insuring drastic
wage cut for the whole working class.
Besides, Roosevelt by his stagger plan
hopes to be able to fight off the de-
mand for unemployment insurance,
condemning the unemployed to mass
starvation. This, the socialists re-
gard as a concession because it will
give the worker just enough to keep
body and soul together.
DASKIN wants to assure the work
y ers that appearances are deceiv-
ing, and that they should not think
that the Socialists have swallowed
Roosevelt's program Fundamentally.
1--WE look upon everything with a
critical eye," he says. He advises
Roosevelt on how to make it pos
sible for the Socialists to regard his
program as real step toward So
cialism by taking government con-
troll of the railroads, telegraph in
dustries and public utilities.
But nowhere, not in sentence, a
word, hint, does he urge the work
ers to resist, to strike, to defend their
right to picket, to struggle for higher
wages. He tells them to expect gains
from the MIRA, and then rambles off
into an orgy CT cheap phrases.
THEN, to leave the Socialist a trap
door, he garnishes the whole mess
with some phrases that might sound
left to the ur1wary. He resorts to
chest-thumping. Baskin, in the col
umns of the New Leader, makes
short shrift of capitalism.
He writes:
1.-THE capitalist system has COL
lapsad'-nothing less, in America;
but that is not enough so he adds
mot only in America but over the
world, and instead of rebuilding the

workers through wage cuts, lay-offs,
etc., it now becomes necessary for the
capitalists to add to their open ruth
less assaults, the weapons of indi-
rect attack, the weapons OF Initiation,
rising prices, legalization Of starva-
ton wages in the name Of the min
imum wage, etc.
It is Just because the conditions OF
the workers are SO uncomfortable, so
fraught with suffering and the danger
Of their resistance so menacing, that
the capitalists need the open and di-
rect aid of the state in their at
tempts to drive the workers still
lower in order to guarantee and in
crease profit. That's the meaning Of
the states interference in the eco
nomy of the country.
Accordingly the Roosevelt govern
ment becomes active in the economy
of the country (avowedly to increase
the real profits of the capitalist class
through an enormous swindle, by pre-
tending to favor increased wages,
while at the same time reducing the
costs of production through speed-up
etc, at the same time and by de-
baslng the buying power of the work
ers through deliberate initiation
airy program of rising prices.
To keep the workers in check while
all this intensified plundering goes
on, the Roosevelt government emits
tremendous clouds Of hypocritic2l
propaganda about "the end of the
cid order" the assault on the
money changers :. etc." And above
all it masks its harsh ruling class
purpose by the adoption of cum
ningly simulated appearance of fight
ing big monopoly capital.
And the treachery. the truly damn
able betrayal Of the socialist leaders
consists in this that they accept the
hypocritical propaganda of the Roose-

ers. The socialist-led Labor Party
OF England sent troops to shoot down
the indian masses fighting for bread
and land.
Socialists in Parliament
Socialists use parliament in order
to deceive the masses into the be-
lief that capitalism is democracy
ard not a dictatorship OF the capt.
tslist class. Socialists used parlia-
ment to hound the workers into the
last world war on the side of the
shareholders.
Just a few weeks ago James O'Neal
in the same New Leader told the
workers that capitalism could be
Transformed into socialism through
parliament.
Baskin winds UP with liberal dash
of revolutionary phrases in order TO
emphasize his point, that the Scciel-
- Party is not the left wing Of the
Blue Eagle, saying:
Your complete emancipation can
only come through bitter struggle
nd the overthrow OF the profit sys-
tem."
Certainly Whaien, Matthew Vol,
and the leading capitalists will not
tremble at this vaudeville appeal.
Trey know that the Socialist lead
ers in the trade unions are safely
cooperating with Green, Lewis, Du-
binsky, Hillman, under the MIRA to
prevent even the smallest struggles
of the workers for increased wages
The New Leader is doing some
fancy window dressing to cover up
the fervid support that filled its
pages from the day Of NIRAs birth
The only thing that Mr.. Baskin
and the Socialists are trying to over
throw is the lesson of bootlickine
service in the interest Of capitalism
that the workers may have learned
from the Socialist Party's support to
Roosevelt'3 New Deal.

Talk of "Overthrow"
But Don't Mean
Capitalism
By HARRY CANNES.

NECK deep in the mire Of the Roose-
~ welt MIRA, the Socialist Party is
now straining to save its face before
the working masses. When the NRA
was first passed, the Socialist Party
greeted it with unashamed hozanaas.
Norman Thomas was completely en-
tranced 1t. He issued the sweetest
words the capitalists wanted to hear
from its bulwark In the camp Of la
bor-"now is not the time to strike"
Another bright light Of the Socialist
Party just this last month pleaded
with the workers not to struggle
against the MIRA. The New Leader
printed an article which told the
workers: Needing the letter and
spirit of the act (NRA) we shall en-
JOY the nearest approach yet made
in any country to have industry serve
the nation" Much more danger lies
in trying to hamper its tryout."
The Jewish Daily Forward and the
New Leader reeked with kowtowing
to the MIRA. "It will bring you new
blessings. they cried.
Strikes Break Out.
Hardly is the ink dry on the codes
IN the basic industries, when the
workers throughout the country are
beginning to sweep into action
against them in the most bitterly
fought strikes yet witnessed. Two
Philadelphia strikers, lie dead, clawed
to death by the Blue Eagle. The
very William Green, to whom Thomas
sent special telegram of praise,
signed the open shop auto code
opening the way for the most vicious
attack on the workers. Whalen piles
in. An attack is made on all pick
citing.
The Socialist Party rushes to COW
