yene in carrying out foreclosures for
the benefit of the mortgage sharks.
The 100000 unemployed were
scornfully ignored except in words
when Roosevelt tried to dupe them
into believing that the herding of
100000 young workers into forced la
Dor camps under military regime
at less than a dollar a day would
benefit them. He gave the signal for
further general wage slashes by stat
ing that he was not Impressed" with
arguments against the dollar day
wage. He set an example by slashing
further the pay of the federal en-
ployees. He cut more than $400,000,-
900 off the budget for soldiers pen
sions and relief. His railway legisla-
ton will throw out of work approx
imately 10000, while hundreds of
small communities will wither of dry
rot as Improbable" railway lines
that formerly served them are scrap
ped. Roosevelt showed his special
hatred of and contempt for the Negro
masses when he beloved his refusal
even to listen to pleas for the inno-

lynching is an inseparable part of the
whole capitalist offensive.
PilIage Treasury for Bankers
AT the same time that all power Of
government is used to beat down fur
ther the standards of life of the toll
ing masses to help finance capital
maintain an uninterrupted income,
| the treasury is looted of hundreds of
millions for additional aid to them.
The first month in office Roosevelt's
administration placed at the disposal
of tottering concerns more than $780,
| 900 900.
This plan, said Roosevelt in his
speech is a partnership between gov
eminent and farming and industry
and transportation, not partnership in
I profits, for the profits will still go to
| the citizens" 1t is true that the gov
eminent does not control finance cap
ital, but that finance capital controls
the government and mobilizes all its
resources as Comrade Kuusinera at
the Twelfth Plenum of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national said for their own support. .
The citizens" who get profits are the
| handful of finance capitalists and
their Satellites-at the expense of the
rest of the population.
All this planning to crush the toll
ers and aid the capitalists is carried
into the international field where the
increased aggressiveness of Wall st
leads directly toward imperialist war
The series Of conferences with rep
resentatives of other countries were
part OF the plan of American imper-
ialism to gain support for itself and
to weaken its rivals His talk about
world economic recovery while ex-
Guiding the Soviet Union from the
list of countries invited to the confer
ence indicates the hypocricy of his
/ position as well as the anti-Soviet d.
rection Of his policy. The increased

ialist war,
Roosevelt's talk OF currency stabil-

TO further attacks on the standards
of life of the American toiling masses
1t is a challenge that must be met
by determined and united resistance
TO wage cuts, the fight for unemploy-
nlent and social insurance at the ex-
pense of the government and the
employers, for stopping evictions and
foreclosures, for freedom for Tom
Mooney and the Scottsboro Boys, fol
struggle against imperialist war.
Against these planned attacks on
the workers and farmers must be
built up the proletarian united front,
which can and must be forged under
the leadership of the Communist Par
~, the Party that is the vanguard OF
the working class and that will lead
the toiling masses forward to turn
the offensive Of the Roosevelt hunger
