Profit and Blood

War-which for the workers on the
battlefield means wholesale slaughter,
which for their families at home
means hunger and suffering-means
mountains Of golden profits for the
employers, for the capitalist class.
The Labor Research Association
has just completed a study of the
war-period profits of the largest rep
resentative corporations of the coun-
try.
The study revealed that 81 of these
companies showed net profits of over
five billion dollars-$5, 484, 1888 900, to
be exact.
The following list is a partial list
OF these enormous war year profits,
made while millions Of workers were
being butchered on the battlefields
to protect profits and investments:

ments. When it was an economic
conference, as at London, the Soviet
delegates proposed abolition Of trade

clearly revealed in the policy toward
the japanese war on the Chinese
masses and the seizure of Manchuria.
While INDUCING in propaganda CAL
culated to arouse war spirit against
the Japanese, Stimson was supply
ing the japanese with munitions and
arms and trying to push Japan into
a war against the Soviet Union.
In trying to conceal its war pre-
parations against the Soviet Union
capitalism has also enlisted the Soc
ial-democrats and the renegades from
Communism. Their special job has
been to try to deceive the masses
into believing that the crisis, instead
of squirting the capitalists on to i'm
perialist war, weakens them so they
cannot carry on warfare. But as
war becomes more and more the
order of the day some of them, such
as Otto Wells, come out openly and
state that their party approves the
foreign policies of the Hitler fascist
regime, the keystone of which is war
and intervention against the Soviet
Union.
The renegade, Trotsky. at the time
of the beginning of the Japanese
drive in Manchuria, tried to disarm
the masses by stating that there was
no immediate danger of war against
the Soviet Union. 1t was this same
Trotsky who also, in a most pro-
five M t,rcad ttat tho DLI
Army of the Soviet Union should
march into Germany and try to pre-
vent Hitler taking power. Such an
act is precisely what the information
al bourgeoisie would welcome as an
excuse for immediate war against
the Soviet Union.
Against Bourgeois Cancellation"
There are also elements that urge
the Soviet Union to become a mem
Der of the League of Nations and to
carry on policy of international
Cancellation" with other powers. That
means entering into the alignments
The intrigues that characterize bour-
geoisie foreign policy.
The peace policy Of the Soviet
Union has nothing in common with
such measures. 1t is directed toward
defending socialist construction in
the Soviet Union and at the same
time is a fight in the interests of
the whole international proletariet.
II is a powerful defender of all the
telling masses whom capitalism has
selected for cannon fodder in the
imperialist slaughter it is preparing.
1t is directed toward peaceful re-
laticns with all countries, but abb
lures entering a bloc with any
country.
Realization Of the role of the Sow
let Union AS powerful force fer
peace impels even larger numbers of
workers to rally to it's defense against
the imperialist conspiracies. But it
is essential never to forget the lesson
taught by the triumph Of Soviet
power over the bourgeoisie of old Rus
sia-that the one guarantee for peace
in the world is to put an end to
capitalism. That was brought about
in the course Of an imperialist war
between nations that was turned in
to civil war against capitalism.
Only when capitalist state power has
been torn to pieces, and the toiling
masses of the world follow the path
blazed by the victorious proletarian
revolution will there be a guarantee
of peace in the world.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-07-29

Many workers are asking why Is
it that the crisis is bringing havoc
to the masses of workers in the
capitalist countries? Why is it that
in the United States, the richest
country in the world, tens of mil
lions are starving, hundreds of thou
sands are being evicted, foreclosures
on farms are taking place Gaily?
And why is it that in the Soviet
Union instead of unemployment, the
number of employed has doubled
precisely during the four years of
the capitalist crisis? An answer to

and the decline of the capitalist
world have made necessary more sub
tie forms of plots. The United
States government no longer indulg-
es in such wild torades as featured
the regime of Hughes and Kellogg.
This was seen in the actions of Slim
son, Hoover's secretary of state. But
the fact that Stimson was less blat-
ant than Hughes did not prevent
h S conspiring for Intervention
against the Soviet Union. That was

But in the sharpening antagonisms
between Japan and the United
States, while the two rush to greater
ornaments for the inevitable war in
the Pacific, each are agreeable to an
attempt to find a way out through
war against the Soviet Union.

Litvinov's London Speech

=
few weeks ago at the World Econ
omic Conference in London set forth
in figures that must, have scared in
to the brain of his bourgeois audi
ence the realization of the great con-
trast between the world of decay
ing capitalism and the world of So
cialist construction. In the course OF
his remarks he said:
II have already remarked that
crisis phenomena are lacking in
the Soviet Union which, with the,
crisis growing steadily in other
countries, has successfully develop
ed it's own economy and industry
at rates never before seen.
"While the rest of the world in
dustrial output in 1882 fell by 80
per cent, as compared with 1928,
it rose to 219 per cent in the Sow.
let Union for the same period!
while in most countries the
numbers of those employed have
gone down catastrophically, in the
U.SSR. the number of employed
persons went up during the last
four years from 100000 to e.
100000"
Not only that, but the Soviet
Union, because its productive mach
inc Is built to improve the stand
ards OF life of the people who inhabit
the country, is in a position to place
orders for billions Of dollars worth
of products of other countries under
conditions that will not be onerorls
to the workers and peasants gov
eminent.
In it's relationship to the other
powers, which constantly engage in
provocations designed to bring about
war and intervention against the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
the Soviet government has pursued
a consistent policy of peace. =" "a
Basis of Success Against War
Thus far, in an international at
mosphere of increasingly desperate
drives toward war, the Soviet Union
has been able to achieve victory for
its peace policy. That is due to a
number of factors, chief of which
are: Cd The great influence of the
Soviet Union among the toiling mass
es of the capitalist and colonial and
semi-colonial countries who, in in
creasing numbers, have shown their
determination to fight in defense OF
the workers and peasants state;
90 The growth of the economic and
political power of the U.S.S.R.; CD
Growth Of defense forces Of the
Soviet Union; "a The policy" OF
peace implacably carried on against
the most insolent provocations.
At a number of international con-
ferences, called by the capitalist
states for the purpose of trying to
vancouver for position and to hide
their war preparations behind a
smoke-screen of paciflsm the repre-
sentatives of the Soviet Union have
stated their position. When the is

gates put forth the proposal for I'M

The utter hypocrisy Of the capitalist
powers was repeatedly shown in their
rejection even of Soviet proposals

By H. NJ. WICKS

THE very existence Of the Soviet
L Union is a threat to capitalism,
a powerful revolutionizing force that
profoundly influences by its growth
and matchless achievements the toll
ing masses of all the earth, This
fact the ruling class never forgetS.
And every downward plunge of capi-
talist economy places the question be-
fore the bourgeoisie more sharply.
The words of Comrade Stain at the
Sixteenth Party Congress of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
in 1890 should never be forgotten by
those who question which direction
the war preparations of the capital
list powers are most likely to take.
He said:
every time the capitalist con-
tradictions begin to grow more
acute the bourgeoisie turns its
gaze toward the U.S,S.R.: Cannot
we settle this or that contradic-
ton of capitalism, or all the con-
tradictions taken together, at the
expense of the U.S.S.R., the land
of the Soviets. the citadel of the
revolution, revolutionizing by its
very existence the working class
and the colonies, preventing us ar
ranging for a new world war, pre-
venting us dividing the world anew,
preventing us being masters of our
extensive internal market, so nee
essary for capitalists, particularly
today, in connection with the eco
nomic crisis"

Msdene Dietrich Tells Why She
Wears Those Trousers

black beret. Her eyeSbrows were
finely penciled yellow arches, her
gray-blue eyes, amused eyes,
looked out Of a pale face, her
lips were vivid red.
She told me:
"I wear trousers for three
reasons: First, they are COM
Portable; second, because /
think I look better in them
than 1 do in dresses; third,
because it takes too much time,
money, and trouble to be q
well dressed woman. You can
wear a gown only once or twice.
Before you turn around, 1t IS
out Of STYLE"
Deity the German star lit a
cigarette, strobe nervously around
the room. Once she stopped to
lean back against a table, her
hands outstretched claSping its
edge. Again, she paused at the
door to look out towards the
building where Josef Won Stern
berg once had his office. But
mostly she paced, her neatly shod
feet (short silk socks showing
above them) taking long strides
"WllOever started that story
about Joe not liking me to wear
trOuserS-he told me to do it,"
she exclaimed. 81 used to wear
them around the beach. We'd
want to see a picture. / wouldn't
want to dress. Go as you are
he'd say. And that was what
started it."
I asked her if she isn't afraid
that the masculine attire will les
sen her glamor for the public.
'If my pictures are good, that
is all that matters" she replied.
"And don't I always wear frills,
feathers and trailing things in
them?"
What about women in general,
I asked her. .
"Only those women who look
well in mems clothes should
wear them" she said. 81 have
masculine shoulders"
How many suits are there in
the Dietrich wardrobe?
Ten. And that includes tuxedo
and the full-dreSs suit she wore
in Morocco"
Does she believe in trousers for
evening wear?
'I've worn my tuxedo only to
one private party" she said.
"NeVer in public"
And what about the future?
Will this glamorous star be leav'
ing Hollywood?
"I go to Germany after my
picture is finished" she assured
me.
II hope to make pictures there
with MIR. Won Sternberg. 1t is
most untrue that we have quar-
relied. On the day settled the
suit with Paramount we talked
on the phone. He advised me
to do it. I would never listen

About These Sisters

It took. three bright young
American girls to figure. out the
way of crashing the American air
waves. Radio people tell me that
thousands Of the foremost
European stars have been invad-
ing America in the hope Of work
ing their way to radio fame and
fortune. The Three K Sisters,
latest Columbia Broadcasting
stars, and born right in New
York city, did the trick. But
they had to go to England to
do it.
The mysterious Three K
Sisters, who by the way, face an
American audience for the first
time when they appear on the
stage Of the Earle Theater Fri
day, toured the big music halls
in London a few years ago, and
found instant success there.
Cochrane then engaged them for
a revue, while appearing in that,
and doubling at the famous Kit
Kat Club, they were heard by the
Prince of Wales, who liked them
enough to elicit a command per-
fOrmance. The result was sensa-
tiOnal.
Like the Astaires, they were the
rage Of fashionable London. The
British BroadcaSting Company
hired them for two years. It
was homeSickneSs that urged
them back to America. But the
radio doors which had been
locked to them before were wide
open. On their return to America
a little over four months ago,
The Three K Sisters found q
contract awaiting them.
They proceeded to introduce a
new vogue in harmony broad

in fact, that they have been

their appearance at that theater.

Fixing The Play

course, being to make it critic
proof. For example it is planned
to pep up the opening act, that is
to accelerate things so that the
play will really get going before
the arrival Of Alfred Lunt on the
scene. At present the first en-
trance Of Actor Lunt is an electric
Stimulant marking the quickening
Of pace and interest that holds
audiences.
The drinking scene of the sec
ond act is a mite to long, every
body says, and so few swigs will
be taken out of that but the ef-
fective curtain will remain.

is ready for the shock troops
Of Broadway. Lynn Fontanne'S
