TAMMANY IN MOVE TO PLACE
ALL RELIEF ON GRAFT BASIS
New York District of Communist Party Ex-
poses New Tactics of Tammany Govt
Members of Relief Committee Resign After Exposure
in Last Issue of the Hunger Fighter"

er New York has issued q call to all
the workers who have been fired
from relief jobs, and to those who
may be expected to be fired any day,
to organize into committees Of ac-
ton to demand that the City govern
ment rehire every worker fired by the
Emergency Work Bureau, and that
no city employees be discharged in
order to make room for these relief
workers.
NEW YORK-The resignation of
the members Of the Emergency Work
and Relief Administration was char
acteriZed last night by the New York
District of the Communist Party as
g. reflection of the corruption and
graft prevalent in the administration
of relief by the City Government,
and as a move toward the placing
of the entire relief apparatus in the
hands of Tammany Hall, where the
graft will be continued on an even
larger scale.
The statement of the Communist
Party said, in part:
'"The resignation Of the members
Of the Emergency Work and Relief
Administration is further proof of
the widespread corruption that char
scterizes the distribution of relief by
the City government The proposal
by Mayor O'Brien that the relief
apparatus be Centralized" means
that Taulmany Hall will now be in
complete control Of the distribution
Of relief. Thus. instead of the re-
signation of the members OF the
Emergency Work and Relief Admin
istration signifying that graft in the
administration Of relief will now be
cut down, 1t means that graft will
now extend on city-wide scale.
'"Tammany Hall now will do on e
huge scale what it has been doing
on a smaller scale. Instead Of hun
dreds of Tammany henchmen and
ward d-heelers being placed on the
relief" lists, there will now be thou
sands. "Relief" will now be distrib-
uted on the basis of loyalty to Tam

Of the unemployed. The workers OF
New York must resist the move TO
place relief under the control OF the
corrupt Tammany Hall machine by
organizing under the leadership Of
the Unemployed Councils.
an regards to the proposal Of the
Socialist City Affairs Committee that
the administration OF relief be put in
the hands OF committee Of five, to
be comprised of two Democrats, one
Republican, one Socialist and one
Communist, the New York District
of the Communist Party states that
graft and corruption can be elini-
mated from the administration OF re-
lief only If the entire committee is
comprised of workers elected by
trade unions, block committees and
neighborhood conventions, etc"

ROME, March, 20. = Prime

Great Britain and Italy had
agreed on the formation Of a -Four
Power Treaty including France, Ger
many, Italy and Great Britain "to
establish peace in Europe for at least
one generation"

be invited to study the protect and
perhaps join in an advisory capacity

Mussolini told the Fascist Com
mercial Federation shortly before
Macdonald left Rome that Fascist

present ills. All Europe would be
Fascist within decade"
PARIS, Mar. 20.-Prime Minister
Macdonald is due in Paris tomorrow,
accompanied by Sir John Simon,
British Foreign Minister, to confer
with Premier Daladier and Foreign
Minister Paul -Boncour.
1t is unofficialy indicated that
France will demand more extensive
security pledges from Great Britain
in return for concessions to Italy
and Germany. The proposed Four
Power Bloc, they state, obviously in
wolves revision of the Peace Treaties
Of Versailles and Trianon, which
could only be done at the expense OF
France and its allies.
|
Capitalist Europe is sharply divided
into two camps-the nations that
gained territory or military import
ance as result Of the Versailles and
Trianon treaties, and those that were
defeated in the war and lost terri
tory.
The proposed Four-Power Pact
represents an endeavor to set up an
Anglo Italian German bloc opposing
France and the Little Entente group.
1t is significant in this connection
that the very instant that Macdonald
announces his agreement with Mus
solini is chosen by the British Gov
ernment to break off trade negotia-
tions with the Soviet Union.
All these negotiations, including
the proposed Pact. are paving the
road Tor a capitalist front against
the Soviet Union. No better proof
Of this san be offered than the incIi-
sion Of Adolf Hitler's terrorist gov
ernment in the new Holy Alliance.

ROOSEVELT SIGNS
BILL TO CUT THE
VETS PAYMENTS

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today signed his Wall
Street-dictated economy bill and
thus set in motion the machinery
that will rob the veterans and gov
ernment employees of nearly $780,
100000.
The bill gives Roosevelt dictatorial
powers to reorganize veterans bene-
fits by depriving about 100000 dis
abled vets of all compensation and
slashing the payments being made
to the others. 1t also provides for
cutting up to Is per cent the wages
Of the 100000 government employees,
$4,000 Of whom are earning only
81 900 a year or less.
Under the leadership Of the Vet
erans' National Liaison Committee
and the Workers -Servicemen's IS
League, veterans throughout the
country are rallying their forces for
vigorous united front movement
against the cuts. A mass march TO
Washington is being organized, the

New York GoesOver the Top in
Drive, Raises Quota to $4,000

The New York District raises its quota from
$4,000 to $4,000! This is the answer of the
workers of New York to the danger threatening
their paper.
On Sunday night, at Daily Worker banquet
attended by about 500 delegates CT working class
organizations over $1,000 was raised for the
Daily This put the New York District over the
top in the financial drive. 1t was then decided to
increase the New York quota to $15,000 this sum
to be raised by April l.
New York thus follows the example set by the
Pittsburgh District, which was the first to go
the top and increase its quota.
The New York District of the Communist
Party has issued an appeal, calling for speedy
tion in fulfilling the new quota. The appeal states:
"The emergency in the Daily Worker is so
great that we must not stop at $4,000.

WORKERS DUTY
TO DEFEND USSR
Imperialists Prepare
Their Attack

LONDON, March 20.-The
British Cabinet has decided to
break off negotiations with the
Soviet Union for the signing
of a new trade treaty, Capt.
Anthony Eden. Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, declared in the
House of Commons today.
The Cabinet decision was mott
waited, he said, by the arrest of six
British employees of the MetropoIi-
tan-Vickers Company in Moscow,
charged with sabotage plots. Pre-
liminary investigation In Moscow
has already brought out evidence of
the guilt Of these British spies. But
Eden didn't mention that.
Capt. Eden stated that Sir Es-
mond Ovey, British Ambassador in
Moscow, had made urgent repre-
sentations, emphasizing that Anglo
Soviet relations would suffer unless
the prisoners we're liberated"
The Under-Secretary also said
that the British Ambassador had
been instructed to demand that the
British prisoners be granted British
legal advisors, which the Soviet
government has refused.
Don't Want Trial
Without waiting for the orderly
charged with the destruction Of tur-
bines that the Soviet government
was paying them to erect, the Tory
Cabinet demands that the case be
taken out of the hands Of the regu
lar Soviet judicial authorities.
Die-hard members of the British
Parliament are already renewing
their cry for the complete rupture
of diplomatic relations with the So
Wet Union.
The British government is en-
deavoring to make use Of the Wick
erS sabotage case to prepare domes-
tic public opinion for an active an
ti-Soviet foreign policy. The cloud
of war thickens over Europe. 1t is
the highest duty Of the workers Of
America to DEFEND THE SOVIET

metic you are to have a nature les
son in how the sweet sap flows up
in trees when Spring comes and
you will also learn how to make
this sweet sap into sugar and ma
pie wax
"Yes, Teacher, we will" said all
the children together.
Soon they had reached Uncle
Wiggily's sugar camp. 1t was an
open place in the wods with little
log cabin on one side. There was
a camp fire burning and over the
fire hung a big iron pot made
black by the smoke. Nurse Jane
and Mrs. Longears were already in
the camp and they had started the
fire to boil the sap.
First of ALL" said Uncle Wig
gily, I'VE must gather a lot of the
sap or sweet juice from the trees.
Some of you must bite little holes
in the tree bark and in these holes
put some hollow reeds or lemonade
straws. The sap will drip down
through the straws and will fall
into the little bark pals l am go
ing to make. Come, now, get busy"
Soon all the animal children
were very busy. While some gnaw-
ed holes in the trees others put in
hollow reeds and beneath these lit
tie Spouts were set tiny pals made
of bark from the birch tree. In a
little while there flowed out a lot
of sap and this was emptied into
the big bucket over the fire which
was blazing hot.
when the sap has boiled long
enough" said Uncle Wiggily, lit
will begin to get thicker and sweet
er. And when it does we'll make
wax"
In a little while the rabbit gen.
tleman took out a dipper full OF
the hot, boiling maple sap. To cool
it, Uncle Wiggily poured this sap
on a pile of clean snow which cool
ed into a thin, yellow sheet OF
sweet maple wax
"Hurray!" cried Buster as Uncle
Wiggily held up what looked like
a piece of candy, as, indeed, it was.
II want some maple wax!"
There will be enough for ALL"
said Mr.. Longears. And just then a
loud voice in the bushes growled:
will there be enough for me?"
And who it was that growled and
what happened next I'll tell you
tomorrow night when the story
will be about Uncle Wiggily's Maple
Sugar. And I hope you can stop the
wash cloth from tickling the cake
of soap in the bath tub
