WOMEN URGED
To GET INTO

Trying to Bring About Reform
Through Non-Partisan
Clubs Called Futile
By JULIA A. BONWIT

II all the clubwomen in the
country would transfer their &C
tivities from their clubs to their
political parties for Just two
years, they would accomplish all
the reforms they promised when
they were given the vote.
This was stated today by Mrs.
Cecil Nield Bayless, Of Louisville,
KY, a prominent Democrat in
her State, during a visit here to
further the interests Of Demo-
cratic women.
'sResOluting" Not Enough
She declared that hundreds Of
thousands Of women throughout
the country are lingering under
the notion" that they can bring
about clean government by "res-
oluting" in their clubs. Mrs. Bay,
less said:
'"They sponsor their resOlu-
lions and bills in their State
legislatures. They think that
by being pure Of heart, they
can get things done.
''But they fail to realize that
the only way to put over their
bills is by having their party
behind them.
Because there are so many
women in clubs which profess
to be nOn-partisan, the many
reforms which we promised
when the suffrage amendment
was passed have not come
through"
She Raps Snobs
Mrs. Bayless also criticized the
@snobocracy" Of many women in
politics, declaring that they fire.
quently refuse to do the mental
jobs connected with the game. i"
Women falling into this category,
she said, are loathe to do work
at the polls, feeling that such
work will hurt their social pos.

AS president Of the League Of
Democratic Women Of Louisville,
however. Mrs. BayleSs is proud
to point out that no woman can
qualify for membership in the
league unless she has worked in
the precincts.
Mrs. Bayless is also chairman
Of the educational program COM

League Gets Hitler
Notice Announcing
GermanWithdraWal
Nazi Referendum Asks
Approval of All
Hitler Actions

BERLIN, Oct. 20.-Germany sent
formal notification of it's withdrawal
from the League Of Nations to the
League Secretariat last night.
The contents of the German note
was kept a secret by the Nazi Of
ficials who merely said that it was
very short.
At the same time the text Of the
question to which German voters are
asked to say Eyes" or NO at the
referendum on November IL was
modified to make it an unconditional
approval of all the acts of Hitler. 1t
is SO vague that it can be used for
any purpose the Nazi government
chooses. and especially it can be in
terpreted as an approval of war &C
tions, although 1t contains no refer
ence to war.
The question, which is in the in
formal first person which in German
is used only for familiar address, is
as follows
"Dost thou, German man or Ger
man woman, approve of the policy
of the Reich government, and art
thou ready to acknowledge this
policy as the expression of thy own
viewpoint and will and solennly
pledge myself therefor"

Whittier the MIRA?

TUESDAY nights meeting at the st. Nicholas Arena
on "The NR.A. and Growing Class Battles, with
Earl Browder and c. A. Hathaway as the reporters
a meeting Of more than ordinary significance.
Party unit meetings have been called on, and
all Party members urged to come directly to the
Arena. In addition all active workers, non-Party as
well Party members from the trade unions and
other militant workers organizations are invited To
attend
This meeting will be devoted to q serious and
thorough examination of the developments under
the N.R.A.
THE program of economic recovery supposedly en-
bodied in the NRA has clearly collapsed. The pur-
chasing power Of the Masses promised by Roose-
welt, has not increased. On the contrary 1t has
declined. AS result the arthcally stimulated up
turn" starting in March ended in July. Since then
the trend of production has been sharply downward,
resulting in almost universal part-tin1e work and
wave Of Iay-offs.
The illusions of the workers and farmers regarding
the NRA. are being dispeled; wave Of strikes, in
voYing both workers and farmers sweeping the
nation. -.
In this situation the NR.k. is entering new
phase, of compulson, of force and violence, q
phase which the fascist trend In America will be
hastened.
A complete analysis OF the new phase OF the
MIRA. and of the tactics of the workers movement
in the struggle against the NEA will be the subject

Soviet Recognition

EIE diplomatic negotiations looking towards recog-
milton of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics by
the United States is an acknowledgement OF the
achievements of the Soviet Union of its stability and
its policies Of peace. All militant workers throughout
the United States who have constantly worked and
fought for recognition, will rejoice on the occasion OF
this victory for the Soviet Onion.
American imperialism one of the btterest enemies
Of the victorious proetaran revolution in the Soviet
Union one of the chief nsgators OF war against the
Soviet Union forced to take steps to extend dplo-
matte recognition. British, japanese and French i'm
periasm for some time have already taken this step,
without the least sackening their preparations Tor
war japanese imperialism, whose recognition is of
long standing IS at this very moment seeking to pro-
woke war.
Why does the Roosevelt regime at this time open
diplomatic conversations?
The downward sweep of capitalist economy in the
United States the collapse OF the NFtA as promised
solution for the capitalist crisis is making Wall Street
scour the world for markets. The Soviet Union peace
fully building Socialism is ready to open trade relations
with the United States it already has with other
capitalist powers. Tie Roosevelt regime grasps
for this market That the foremost imperialst power
stands ready open diplomatic and trade relations is
powerful testimony to the stability, the strength and
Socialist advances Of the UsSR.
ar THE same time in the rapid preparation for i'm
n perialist war. the Roosevelt regime while arming
itself for war spouts phrases and engineers
to give the appearance Of peaceful intent. Recognition
CT the USSR. which is contemplated, is a peace
rnaneuver that does not lessen ot rapid moves
to war on the part Of Wall Street.
The Roosevelt regime, through the Wall Street
bankers supports the Hitler dictatorship in its anti
Soviet war thrusts. While antagonistic to Japan, the
United States seeks to provoke Of Japan against
the Soviet Union to weaken both and then to hammer
ont the united front of all the imperasts against their
main and impacable enemythe victorious proletartan
revolution symbolized by the U.SSR.
While recognition would open the way for trade
latons, which together with loans would provide
market for some of the overproduced commodities i'll
the United States, it by means offers solution for
the corrod-ng capitalist crisis.
The chief conflict in the present-day world is
between the system Of advancing Socialism and of de-
caying world capitalism The foremost repr2 ntative
Of crisis-rdden capitalism, the United States, is
forced to step aside from its traditional policy Of
recognition and undertake diplomatic negotiations with
the workers fatherand
Ali workers while greeting this achievement OF the
Soviet Union should realize that now, than ever
they must be prepared to resist the trend toward
Fascism and developed by the imperalist nations,
particularly the United States. They must
than ever be their guard ready to defend the Soviet
Union against all its enemies

Kalinin's Reply
Kalinin's reply, dated Oct. II, said;
"I have received your message of
Oct. 10th.
"t have always considered most alb
normal and regrettable situation
wherein, during the past sixteen years,
two great republics-the United States
of America and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics have lacked the
usual methods of communication and
have been deprived of the benefits
which such communications could
give. am glad to note that you
also reached the same conclusion.
There is no doubt that difficulties,
present or arising, between two coun-
tries, can be solved only when direct
relations exist between them and
that, on the other hand, they have
no chance for solution in the absence
of such relations. / shall take the
liberty further to express the opinion
that the abnormal situation, to which
you correctly refer in your message,
has an unfavorable effect not only on
the interests of the two states con-
cerned, but also on the general in
ternational situation, increasing the
element of disquiet, complicatlng the
process of consolidating world peace
and encouraging forces tending to
disturb that peace.

gladly accept your proposal to send
to the United States a representative
of the Soviet Government to discuss
with you the questions of interest to

LaGuardia Relief

Il PLEDGE myself says F. H. LaGuardia Repub-
lican-Fu5on candidate for Mayor, ''that the
unemployed in this city, both married and single, will
get adequate relief according to scientific, humane
standards"
What is this scientific standard? In Pennsylvania
food provided to the unemployed amounting to
about two cents meal Governor Pinchot invited
Mrs Franklin d Roosevelt to dine one of the two
cent meals, The first lady considered the meal scen-
tfic and adequate" Medical Associations have esti-
mated scientific" the starvation rations of SO cents
day per family being distributed New York's
unemployed relief has at no time been considered by
government officials Inadequate And LaGuarda
makes no proposal to definite sum for the I'M
employed but continues to make the hazy promise of
giving adequate and scientific" starvation rations.
why the sudden embrace of the unemployed by this
capitalist politician? Has he suddenly discovered the
plight Of the millions Of iobless?
The Fusion candidate member of Congress
when the two national hunger marches converged on
Washington in 1881 and 1892 He was member of
Congress when the hundreds of delegates representing
millions of workers raised their voices in the demand
for immediate winter relief and for the adoption of
unemployment insurance federal law. The hunger
narchers were brutally attacked they we're not even
permitted to enter the city last December but were
kept starving the outskirts of the capital
LaGuardias voice was heard then. It was in unison
with the rest of the bosses representatives in bowling
against those who dared to make demands for the right
to live
RUT now LaGuardia proposes nine-point program
= Many OF his points are perverson of the demands
raised on numerous occasions by the unemployed In
his first point he pledges" to provide adequate relief
including cash. The unemployed are not to get
cash relief with the right to buy anything they DESIRE
but continued ration with few pennies in CASH
end this is only promise. II LaGuarda is DESTROYS of
giving cash to the unemployed then he would support
snd fight for unemployment insurance which would
assure the 1obless cash relief But he is bitterly op-
posed to it,
Where will the money from for the unem-
ployed? LaGuardia is enphatically opposed to rails
ing taxes the Wall Street bankers He is in full
agreement with Governor Lehman's measures adopted
at yesterdays special session Of the, legislature not to
touch an additional penny from the members of the
Stock Exchange.
LaGuarda's whole program is no different than the
0ne now carried out by Mayor OBrien; it is no diff
ferent than Governor Lehmans program in the state
no different than the program of Roosevelt and is the
same as every of the other capitalist candidates

NEW YORK.-Officlals Of the

rejected the offer of the Workers
Elk Servicenen's League for united

One of the officials explained
it wasn't "rre iuaice against Reds
that nromr:ed their action. "Fact

The fact that "a number of i'm
ortant Senator's have been asked to
cooperate" and that Samuel Inter
myer had contributed S25 900 to their

for refusing the united front offer OF
the w. E. S. L.
At this point, Samuel Upper, a
member of the w. r.. S. L. and a
former chaplain in both the U. S
