Anti-Fascist Front
Hit by British
Labor Conference

HASTINGS, England, oct. "a
relentless fight against Fascism and
Communism, which were called twin
brothers, was urged yesterday by
Joseph Compton, newly elected chair
man Of the British Labor Party, as
the annual party conference opened
here.
Labor Party officials threatened
disciplinary action against party
members "who have been attracted
by the mirage of a united front
against fascism and war" They at
tackled Lord Marley and Ellen Will
kinson, heads of the World Commit
| tee for the Victims of German Fas-
cism, for "couuetting with the Com
mlnists."
The Centre group of the Socialist
League, headed by Sir Stafford
Cripps, former Attorney General in
the last Labor Cabinet, backed down
in its effort to have the conference
adopt a more radical program en-
visaging abolition of the House OIL
Lords, and Specialization of industry
and the banks.
NEW YORK.--A resolution of pro-
test denouncing the spurious Leipzig
trial and demanding the release Of
Torgler, Dinitroff, Popoff and Tanefl
has been sent to Judge Buenger as
the first official act of the, newly
constituted National Bureau of the
Pen and Hammer Clubs, an organiza
ton of scientists, technieisns and

Newspapers and War

WITH rtdcule distortion or cold silencethat is how
the capitalist papers of the country handled the
recent historic event of the United States Antiwar
Congress.
To the hypocritical sessions of the League of Ma
TONS to the fraudulent conferences of the Geneva dis
armament conference the capitalist papers open their
pages with enthusiasm The launching of the largest
naval program in the history of the country, they
greet with the lying propaganda of the Roosevelt gov
eminent about more jobs"
But let almost 5000 delegates from every part of
the country, representing farmers workers profess
sonal people, writer's educators housewives, and
youth gather together In Congress to consider seri-
ously how they actively fight against oncoming i'm
perialist war, not only in words, but in deeds and
the supposedly peaceloving capitalist press either g
them leaps to attack the Congress with cheap
shipping, ridicule
That's how much these capitalist papers love peace
and hate war.
The capitalist press plays double role in the
preparations for war One section openly whips UP
war hysteria, whoops it up for growing navy
talks about our" national defense, etc. The other
part attempts to l the into feeling of false
security, into blindness against the oncoming war.
One thing is clear. The capitalist press, from the
"dignifed" New York Times and the New York Herald
Tribune down to the tablods by their attempt to ste
the effect OF the Anti War Congress, have shown
themselves to be part and parcel of the Roosevelt gov
ernments preparations for
IN the last 1917 1mperiast slaughter every capital
ist paper screamed for the blood of the Huns"
screamed the most vicious imperialist poison into
the minds of the American people Their sabotage
Of the Ant-Wsr Congress shows them to be ready
for repetition of that service to their mperalist
wsr-making masters.
That the Daily Worker, official organ Of the Com
mlnist Party which took active role In the
organization of the Congress alone bazoned the news
of the Congress its front pages alone described the
magnificent spirit of the delegates and gave its APP
prevail to the program of the Congress, is fact that
every worker and farmer, every delegate to the Con-
gress should ponder
The hostile reports Of the capitalist press found
fitting reply in the words of of the worker del
egates, who declared This finishes these papers for
me / am through with them"
Among the thousands of delegates as well as the
hundreds Of thousands who followed and supported the
Congress these words will find ready echo

Democracy" for Miners

FROM the very beginning of the establishment of
the N.R-A the Communist Party has told the work.
ers that this act against their interests. The
Communist Party told the workers that the Roosevelt
government, ike other government, the class
rule of the capitalists against the workers that the
OF another In all capitalist countries it is the nstr-
ent of the capitalists against the toilers Only the
Soviet Union, where the working the ruling
class is it instrument of the toers against all rem
nants of capitalism.
Only the Communist Party is bringing this funda-
mental truth to the masses. All other parties and
groups try to hide this fact They try to convince
the that the state, the government is above
classes that in the q. 8 we have democracy that
all the people the basis of equality They deny
the truth of the existence of the capitalist Dictator
chip in which the whole force of the government exists
primarily for the suppression of the toiling masses
Especially treacherous is the role of the A. F. of
L. bureaucrats and the Socialist leaders in trying TO
convince the tina the state and in this instance
the Roosevelt government is acting In their Interests
They especially tried to represent tn NRA Roose-
welt new DEAL as an example of the state acting
in the interests of the masses They tried to con-
ceal the fact that the MIRA represented sharpened
attack of the capitalist state against the workers
But now we have development in the heroic
struggle OF the miners that should remove the last
doubt from every workers mind as to the role of the
state and the meaning of capitalist democracy.
At every stage of the struggle, the Lewis Murray
Pagan leadership of the UM.W-A has sided with the
capitalists and their government against the miners
which it tried to fool the miners with paper conces
sons in order to force them back to work At first
Roosevelt succeeded in sending the miners back to
he pits. The miners believed Roosevelt, and not the
warnings of the Communist Party. But the miners
lid not stay fooled And the miners, experienced in

Worldwide Mass Protest to Save the Accused
Communists Must Grow in Breadth
and Intensity

! Taneff, the Communist defendants In
Leipzig. Protest kilograms and reso-
lutions have poured in upon German
consultates and embassies in every
major city on the globe, while Ger
man ships flying the Nazi sWastika
flag have been faced with strike
of longshoremen and harbor workers
in almost every world port.
There is no doubt that this world
wide protest movement has already
achieved some results, some minor
victories. The very circumstance that
the Leipzig trial is not being held in
secret, but under the glazing spot
light of world publicity already marks

overlords. The fact that the Leipzig
court has had to drop the charges Of
arson against Torgler, Dimitroff, Pop
off and Taneff, after their guilt
had been truinpeted in advance for
the past six months through the Ger
man press, is also the fruit of the
disclosures Of the Brown Book and Of

unemployed worker and father OF

PROVIDENCE, r. T., December 23.-
The State Supreme Court has ruled
that the Rhode Island Emergency Pub
lie Works Corporation may borrow
money from the Federal Government for
purely State projects, but it may not
pledge or transfer property Of the State
as security for the loans.
The opinion was necessary because of
the constitutional debt limitation of
$4,000 on borrowings not sanctioned
by popular referendum. The court
rules that the Public Works Corporation
debts are not State debts unless prop
erty is pledged or transferred as Sc
curity.
Gov. Green admitted that the ruling
might handicap him in getting loans
for State projects, but declared the
President has wide discretionary powers
on such loans and there are ways in
which the moral obligations can be
supplemented If the President decides to
rely on moral rather than strictly legal
collateral.
A total of 81 ,004, ,966 worth of projects
at the Rhode Island State College has
been approved by the State P. W. A.,
including a home economics building,
women's dormitory, library and admin
istration building, power plant and al
terations.
Temporary authority to administer
the retail code for about 1900 retail
stores has been granted the Providence
Retail Code Authority. F. w. Aldred
