Business Here Drops
20 Per Cent; Record
High in Soviet Union
No Unemployment in
USSR; 100000 Are
Jobless Here

NEW YORK, October Steel pro-
duction, the best indicator of the
trend of general business, still con-
tinues to drop steadily despite the
fact that the usual seasonal trend at
this time of the year is upward
The latest reports show that steel
production is now below 40 per cent
of capacity, and heading further
downward as the usual Fall demand
has failed to appear.
AS a result of the continuing drop
of business during September, the
New York Times chart of business
activity shows the twelfth consecu-
tive decline since June. In the last
two and half months business has
dropped 20 per cent.
These figures indicate the complete
failure of the Roosevelt program to
alleviate the economic crisis. They
contrast wildly with the latest re-
ports from the Soviet Union which
indicate that the productive activity
of thu Soviet Union has just reached
a new all-time record high. This
upward development of the Soviet
Union has completely abolished all
unemployment whereas the decline in
American production has thrown IT,
100000 men into the streets.

Hailed at Reception
As Fighters Of War
Capitalism Is Source of
All War, Barbusse
Proclaims

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.--"As writer
seek the truth, and to speak the
truth in these times is to be a revo-
lutionary," said Henri Barpus,ss last
night at a reception given in his
honor by the American Conlroittee
for Struggle Against War and the
League Against War and Fascism at
the Hotel Paramount, 46th st. and
Broadway.
Speaking passionately to distin-
guished audience of several hundred
persons, Barbusse outlined the de-
velopment of his life from the days
when he was a member of the select
aloof group of French Symholist
poets to the present day, when he
is member of the French Com
munist Party.
81 was drawn closer to the affairs
of men, he said. ''by the Dreyfuss
Case. but it was the World War that
really educated me-
He then described the world fight
against imperialist war and fascism,
ut is only by destroying capitalism,
the source of war, that war can be
destroyed" Barbusse proclaimed.
A feature of the evening was the
first public appearance of the world
famous British labor leader, Tom
Mann, who arrived here as dele
gate to the Anti-War Congress held
here few days ago.
A short, vigorous and, extremely
energetic man, despite his IT years
with the hale and salty air of a
masterful sea captain, Mann aroused

by his fortnight attacks on i'm

British Labor Party
Votes Against War
With Exceptions
Kills Disarmamentan and
Outright Anti-War
Resolutions
By Burck

HASTINGS, England, Oct. 5.-The
British Labor Party unanimously
voted not to participate in a future
war and to move for general strike
"if necessary" to prevent wars out
break, at is Ansel conference here
today.
Despite the peace fervor of the
debates, the conference voted for wal
sin case Of actual aggression" which
is the formula under which all i'm
perialist powers go to war.
The anti-war resolution was emas-
culated and exposed as hollow sham
immediately afterwards, however
when an, amendment to follow the
example set by the students of Ok
ford, pledging the Labor Party 'un-
der no circumstances to fight for
King and Country" was killed.
The Executive Committee also
killed a resolution that the next La
Dor Government disarn Great Brit
ain totally, as proposed by the Soviet
delegation at Geneva.
Characteristic of the conference at
titude was the fact that the debate
was led by Arthur Henderson, Pres
ident of the Geneva Disarmament
Conference.

> A Vatican Echo

THERE ominous note sounded in Roosevelts
charity speech last night.
Unbosoming himself before a gathering of high
Catholic priests Roosevelt, darling of the liberals"
echoed in an nmstakable manner Soviet intervention
propaganda that from the Pope at the Vatican
In thiny yelled reference to the Soviet Union,
Roosevelt said:
"Those people in other lands-I say this advis-
edlywho have sought by edict by law to eliminate
the right of mankind to believe in God. have dis
covered that they fitting in vain against
inherent quality. undying necessity of the hu-
race"
Popes Holy Crusade against the Soviet Union 'the
land of the goddess?
Roosevelt lies when ne says that the proletarian
dictatorship of the Soviet Union forbids religion by
law.
The Soviet Union by education by scientific en-
ightenment, by cooperative Socialist work for all, is
doing away with the need for religion by aboishing
the fear the uncertainty and the poverty of workers
life under capitalism.
Actually, there is religious liberty in the Soviet
Union than anywhere in the world
But in the Soviet Union, while the State permits
freedom in religion it fights with the weapon of science
against the supplying effect of all religions on the
masses, effect which is being consciously utilized
by capitalist governments all the world.
Roosevelts yelled threat against the Soviet Union
land where the 'undyng necessity of religion"
is being crushed, is ominous symptom of the fact
that the liberal Roosevelt using religious hyseria
to blind the workers to their misery under capitalism
and to prepare them for military intervention against
the country where the workers have abolished
ployment, wage slavery, and are building Socialist
society

A Socialist Invitation

YESTERDAY Franklin D Roosevelt President of the
l United States, was invited to join the Socialist
Party.
It may sound incredible But it actually happened
over ten thousand New York workers heard Abraham
Caan of the oldest leaders of the Socialist Party,
and editor of the Socialist paper, the Forward" in
vite him in Here his actual words, set down for
every worker to see:
'The MIRA. has been handled in a democratic
way and the President has earned the gratitude OF
every thinking in the country on the basis
of his work far he really should be Socialist"
On one side of Cahan sat Norman Thomas On
the other sat the Tammany Police Chief and notorious
thug organizer-the unspeakable Grover Whaen. This
the setting for the invitation to Roosevelt to join
the party of Eugene Victor Debs
Thomas seconded the invitaton-with the typical
Thomas reservations. Thus the Thomas left wing"
and the Hillquit- Cahan right wing" of the Socialist
Party joined hands.
Cahans invitation is only the logical elimination
of the congratulatory visit that Thomas and Hllqut
paid Roosevelt at the White House in April
The socialist leaders have looked Roosevelt over.
And they find him good.
j. P Morgan and John D. Rockefeller also find
him good
Maybe they are next in line for invitation from
Cahan, Hillquit and Thomas to become members of
the party of Debs.

tered the NRA. democraticaly.'
What do the 100000 coal miners think of that2
What do the two steel workers who yesterday had
their sides ripped away by dum-dum bullets from
deputy sheriffs rifles think of that? What do the
farmers who faced tear gas and machine guns, the
New Mexico and Pennsylvania miners who were met
with bullets, think of the democratic methods of
Roosevelt?
In Germany the socialist leaders accepted the
Kaser's butcher, Won Hndenburg as their candidate
for President of Germany They hailed him as their
leader as great democrat"
In this country the Socialist leaders hail Roosevelt
in exactly the same way, as great socialist"
The part they are playing here is the same as the
part their socialDemocratic fellow traitors played in
Germany.
coCIALIST workers! You who have felt the teeth
of the NRA, the Roosevelt rising costs of living
the hunger, the suffering You who see Roosevelt
preparing for the greatest mperalist world slaughter
in history who see him building bombing planes,
poison gas, tanks-what do you think of Thomas and
Cahans praise for Roosevelt?
When we, Communists, call your leaders social

It is not ISLANDERS" and lies that we are hingng,
your leaders say
We call your leaders social-fascists because they
cover up fascist deeds with socialist phrases.
When Abraham Cahan calls the capitalist agent
Roosevelt socialist" he is playing the typical role
of the social-fasciSt.
Cahan sees in Roosevelt a felow-socalist He is
right.
They are both socalists-of the same calibre.

Murderous Charity

y
CLANKED by Catholic priests at Charity Conference
Roosevelt yesterday flung down to the 100000
obess workers and their starving families his relief
program for the coming winter.
In dozens of prediction speeches. Roosevelt cauti-
ousy dangled before the workers the bait of unem-
ployment insurance" The democratic platform spe-
officially mentions form of State unemployment
insurance.
Where are all these promises?
Yesterday, Roosevelt told the millions of hungry
workers that they must look the bitter crumbs of
charity for relief. He said;
THE Federal government cannot and does not
intend to take Of the whole job of relief. Every
State and community must do its share"
This was the Hoover program. 1t is the Roosevelt
program 1t is the program of harsh granite resistance
to the mcst crying need of the American working class
at the present neutrality-suspicious. Insurance at
the expense of the Federal government and the en-
ployers.
The Hoover and Roosevelt program of State and
local relief has been such CHASTITY failure that even
Roosevelts Relief Administrator Hopkins had to
admit yesterday that for 100000 workers fam
lilies the coming winter will be the blacklist, the most
tragic yet seen during the economic crisis.
Unless something is done, Hopkins admitted thou
sands of workers children will feel agonies of sarva-
ton and cold
And, yet, both he and his master, Roosevelt set
their jaws and doom the workers to the criminally
inadequate local charities Roosevelts uterance yes
terday was nothing more less than sentence
Of doom to literally millions of working class families
all over the country.
WITH heartess cynics Roosevelt preached "a spirit
OF sacrifice" to the starving, jobess workers.
But, within the last six months, Roosevelt has given
$60oooo0Oo to the Army Navy as part of the regu
lar budget.
In addition he has given them another 1925 O0o 900
from the so-caed public works fund
He has paid out or promised to the Wall Street
bankers over 25oo000O in interest and loan pay
ments.
i His agent in the RIG has given hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars to the rich railroads and banks with
still another billion promised
And in the face of this brazen souanderins for
war and the banks Roosevelt dares to come before the
starving millions with the hypocrisy of sefsacrfce'
This is brutal crime against the workers and
their chldrenl
Foosevelt's speech yesterday proven him to be an
outspoken agent of the pitiless ruling capitalist class
that rules from Wall Street.
This Is challenge to the working classl 1t must
be answered. Roosevets starvation decree must and
can be destroyed The families of the workers can
not be left to the savage mercies of the Roosevelt
charity program
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES do 1t. In every union
