In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, an
unemployed worker, his wife and
children slowly starving ON miserable

days a month, sat bordering; ''How
can we issue a leaflet for the Scots

in the house and the comrades are all
unemployed" He went to the local
printer, appealed to him, persuaded
him to advance credit. The next
evening, for the first time in the
history of Sioux Falls, both Negro
and white speakers appeared on the
same platform. Rev. Bothwick, local
minister, said: 81 take the floor 10

THE heroic struggle of the Cuban
1 masses has served to force open
: the masked portfolios Of Wall Street
imperialism. Protruding through them
now are the threatening muzzles of
the big guns in battle position-the

American rulers toward the doubly
oppressed colonial masses of Cuba
and the rest of Latin America.

There has been no such naval con-

always oontended that the workers
would have to flight harder than
ever?"
Helping Roosevelt
Every worker will see that it shows
quite the contrary. The Socialists, in
common with Roosevelt, used every
trick to keep the workers from
struggling. They told the workers to
expect Roosevelt to guarantee them
collective bargaining and workers
rights. They told the workers that
the capitalists had made up their
minds to increase minimum wages
as high as two and three hundred
per cent. Then why fight?
THE New Leader, in it's article, went
further. 1t warned the workers
that If they fought against the MIRA,
they would endanger the carrying
through of the act and hinder the
return of prosperity.
Even at the expense of losing their
rights, having their wages lowered
the Socialist leaders told the workers
not to fight against the MIRA.
On July 20, the New Leader
printed an article BY Joseph E.
Cohen, in which we read.

for without limit by the Platt Amend
ment, is the key to Yankee imperial
ist control of the Caribbean area, the
gulf of Mexico and that most precious
of it's Latin American seaways-the
Panama canal.
The immense display OF naval
force against the Cuban masses is not
solely for the purpose of intimidating
them and holding them in check
while Ambassador Welles, having
done his best for the army officer
clique, moves to other quarters and
casts around for another base for
counter revolution. With typical
Yankee thriftiness which saves money
by killing two birds with one stone,
Washington has seized the opportu-
nifty to stage a demonstration to awe
other Latin and South American
peoples and to parade before the eyes

modified and somewhat controlled
exploitation or to planned col
lectivist society in which there will
be regard for nothing but human
welfare"
Could Roosevelt expect any better
adjustment Of the propaganda and
action of the Socialist Party to make
the MIRA acceptable to those workers
who had faith in or followed the
Socialist Party?
Boiled down, the Socialist argument
was: Nothing but good could come out
of the NRA-either socialism itself,
or at worst "rejuvenated' cap
italism; that is, reformed capital
ism, with its singer taken out, one
in which exploitation would not be
so harsh.
Well let the Socialist panegyrists
speak about this new capitalism which
they said would be the least to expect
from the NRA:
"The old days are dead beyond
recall. The system of unbridled
competition, of Every Man for
Himself and the Devil Take the
Hindmost, can never return. What
the classical economists called
Laissez-faire,s what the forgotten
Hoover called Rugged Individualisn,
and what Donald ". Richberg called
Gold-plated Anarchy, is system as
extinct as the Roman Empire"
WHO did all this? Mr.. Roosevelt,
w say the Socialists. Are the old
days Of hunger and starvation dead
beyond recall? Is the system of
shooting down stlilsers. of srnashing
workers rights O. arresting pickets
beyond recall? Is the ferocicus attack
against the workers living standard
(the SO per cent NfsA wage cut in
steeD beyond recall? What is new
in Roosevelt's program? The in
creased ferocity CT the attacks against
the workers, the heavy attacl; against
the unemployed, the fcverish drive to
war and estack Oh the Cuban masses,
the more energetic preparations for
fascism. This is what the New
Leader praises when it tells of the
wonders accomplished by Roosevelt
under the MIRA.

Wall Street would pack up and get
out. Not q single American has been
injured. Their lives have been in
less danger than II they lived, let us
say, in Chicago, or happened to be
textile or coal mine strikers in Penn
sylvania, Utah or New Mexico.
Washington was not worried much
about American lives. This made a
good excuse for the naval display, but
it acted like the arm of Wall Street
that it is because Of the sugar plan

and sugar refineries, railways, mines,
electric light plants, docks, ETC., the
profits from which, sweated out of
workers receiving from 8 to 10 cents

pour into the pockets of Wall Street

Checks. plaids and stripes are

one might call them.
Many of the new prints have de
