shysters in the United States Senate.
For three days the sham fight over
whether or not $38,000,000 should be
restored to the war veterans held up
adjournment. Last night by vote
of 45 to SO the Senate approved the
Roosevelt slash against the veterans
in its entirety. Immediately it was
rushed to the house and passed.
Continuous Attack on ToiIers
Never in the history of the coun-
try, with the possible exception of
war time legislation, has there been
rushed through so many violent
assaults upon all oppressed sections
of the population.
The first act of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration in putting into effect its
new deal" was to declare the bank
holiday, thereby wiping out some
seven billions of dollars Of depositors'
money.
The customary appropriations were
made for the armed forces, while the
government carried through savage
wage cuts against federal employees.
Hundreds of million were given 70
the big bankers and industrialists,
while every demand of the starving
millions for federal relief and UNI
employment insurance was treated
with scorn.
The Forced Labor Conspiracy
The next fruits of the new deal"
soon ripened into the "reforestation"
scheme, which enabled the govern
ment to herd 250,000 unemployed
young workers into forced labor
camps, under military control, in

Itself Is paralyzed before the 1mpoS-
sibility of solving any problem it
pretends to want to solve, there are
being carried on behind the scenes a
series of intrigues between represen-
tatives of the various capitalist coun-
tries.
French and British delegates were
greatly disappointed over the an
nouncement from Washington that
the United States had not agreed to
attempt to maintain currency by any
artificial means such as was pro-
vided in the plan put forth. That
plan proposed pegging the dollar at
about $405 to the British pound.
The French openly state that unless
some agreement is reached to stop
fluctuation of currency France will
also go off the gold standard and in
tensify the currency fights.
The pegging of the dollar was to
be maintained by operations through
the sterling equalization fund, with
the American treasury agreeing to
share with the British treasury the
responsibility for any losses on deal
ings. To guarantee the British
Treasury against such possible loss
the Federal Reserve Bank is to pur-
chase British government securities
and deposit them in the Bank of
England
All these elaborate plans to try
temporarily to reach currency
agreement are threatened by the
statement of Secretary of the Treas
ury Woodin that nothing of the sort
has as yet been approved.
Each Fights Against All
In the innumerable conferences
taking place outside the conference
and committee rooms the United
States delegates strive to win sup
porters tor its imperialist policy, par
ticularly in regard to making agree
ments over tariffs and loans with the
representatives of the various South
American governments.
1t is announced that Al countries
have adhered to what is described as
a world tariff truce. Examination Of

be operative. Each of the countries
strives to gain maximum advantages
for itself in foreign trade at the ex-
pense of others.
Silent on Soviet Proposals
The leading delegates of the cap
italist countries strive to ignore the
proposals of Litvinoff, chief of the
Soviet delegation. Far from striving,
like the capitalist countries, to enter
into the world scramble for markets
through tariffs and other restric-
tions, the Soviet Union proposed to
purchase more than billion dollars
worth of goods from other countries.
The Soviet spokesman further pro-
posed to do away with all restrictions
Of trade, etc. The capitalist spokes-
man, of course, could not accept such
proposal because of the competitive

day. These workers are trained by
army officers and no attempt is made
to conceal the fact that these victims
of the new deal are regarded as
potential reserves for the armed
forces of the government as 1t pre-
pares for imperialist war.
The New DEAR Becomes Law
After the adjournment of Con-
greSs and before he leaves tonight
for cruise along the Massachusetts
coast-the first journey Of his sum-
mer vacation-Roosevelt signed q
series OF bills that conclude his So
called emergency legislation program,
all of which were calculated to help
the rich and rob the poor.
The keystone of the whole edifice
is the industrial recovery act, D
which establishes a dictatorship over
all industry, enables the finance cap
italists to further consolidate power
into their hands by using the power

Attacks Farmers; Scorns Relief
With the same cynical contempt
with which the Roosevelt admins
tration treated the demands of the
starving workers, the impoverished
farmers were denied any relief what
soever. Instead, there was passed the
farm relief initiation" bill, which, in
addition to carrying the legalization
of unlimited imitation which already
has caused the cost of living to soar
came to the aid of the farm mort
gage holders by placing at their dis
posal 100000 for "re1nancing. "

ton from taxes were met with this
vicious legislation against them.
The same sort of rotten deal was
given the impoverished small home
owners, but an additional $2,000,0 00,-
900 was appropriated to help the
mortgage sharks who prey upon
them.
The Glass-Steagall banking bill
Just passed is designed to wipe out
small banks, centralize control OF
banking still more in the hands OF
Morgan & Co., and other Wall Street
brigands, through establishment of a
wide system of branch banking. This,
combined with the emergency bank
ing act, passed early in the session
gives the President wartime control
over credit, currency, gold and silver
and takes the nation off the gold
standard.

BOSTON, Mass, June 16.--A de-
cision was handed down yesterday
by the United States Circuit Court
of appeals reversing the decision
of Federal Judge James A. Lowell
in granting writ Of habeas corr
pus to George Crawford, Negro,
which would have stopped his re-
turn to Virginia to face a framed
up charge of murder. The reversal
was made on the ground that the
question of exclusion of Negroes
from the Jury, on which point the
writ of habeas corpus was granted,
was a matter TO be raised in the
courts of Virginia. The defense will
appeal to the United States Sup
RENE Court.

recovery.
Novelties OF this era are free

Necessities are art. music, read
ing, nature study, and play. Most
particularly new play ideas FOR
hard shell adult heads.
The era. as the professors see
it, is likely to kill the old, old divi-
sion between work and play. Take
the drudgery out of work. Put
purpose alongside pleasure in
play.
"a difficulty now" says DIR.
Daniel H. Kulp, "arises from the
fact that certain forms of leisure
activities that may be provided in
schools are not accessible to large
portions Of our population after
they leave school because of lack
of public facilities.
Hence, schools should stress
