CHICAGO MAKES BIG GAIN
IN DAILY DRIVE; NEARLY
ALL OTHER DISTRICTS LAG
Boston and Connecticut Falling Behind AS First Month of Campaign
Closes; New York in Substantial Increase

For the half-week from Friday to
Monday, total of 81 ,09749 in dona-
tions was received by the Daily Work
ef. AS in the daily reports, this
semi-weekly sum manages to Keep up
a steady but low pace, insufficient
to meet the needs Of the Daily's
crisis.
A last minute squirt enabled Chi
cage to become the biggest (outside
of New York; of the semi weekly
contributors, with $207 so, thus boost
ing its per centage from Al TO 9.8.
This, together with New York's $73032
make up the bulk of the half -week's
returns. Philadelphia, with $1,000,
raised the third highest sum of the
half-week. The districts sent in vary
ing small sums, petering down to
nothing in the cases of the Dakotas
and Alabama Florida District ID.
The per centage standings now are:
(1) New York, 34.9; co Buffalo, 1873;
CD Boston, ia; a. Connecticut,
1863; and (5) Pittsburgh, 14.4.

Donations for Sunday and Monday
combined totaled $596.84. The big
gest contributor was New York, with
$36l.0 5, followed by Chicago, which
sent in $20l.50, breaking long per-
iod of very small contributions.
In several districts which time and
again failed to respond to the "Daily's"
call for help, there is real oppor-
tunity for raising funds among the
workers. For example, Connecticut
did not send in cent on Monday;

Other letters come in from in

Demonstration on Saturday.

NEW YORK.-The Anti Imperial
ist League, supported by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, the Trade
Union Unity Council, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Work
ers Ex-Servicemen's League, has
called demonstration for Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock in front of the
Dutch Consulate, II Battery Place,
to protest against the murder of East
Indian and Dutch seamen by the I'M
perialist government OF Holland. All
workers organizations are urged to
support the demonstration.
The Workers Elk Servlcemens
League issued a statement yesterday
which declares in part:
Following in the footsteps Of the
seamen of the Chilean and the Brit
ish NavieS, the sailors Of the Dutch
battleship DE zeVen Provincien" in
Java have gone on strike against
cut of II per cent in their already low
wages. The Dutch imperialist gov
eminent had used force in trying to
break this strike. Twenty-Five sail
ors have been killed by airplane
bombs. Hundreds more are held in
prison camps where they face court
martials which mean certain death
or long imprisonments.
The methods used by the Dutch
government in attempting to break
this strike are exactly the same as
those used by the U. S. Government

Young Communist League Hits
Measure
NEW YORK.-The National Com
mittee of the Young Communist
League has issued a statement de-
nouncing the appropriation of $780,
100000 for the army and the Cou-
zen's Amendment to conseript $4,000
homeless youth for war purposes. The
statement calls upon all youth and
adult workers to unite in struggle
against militarism and for immediate
relief. 1t calls upon workers organi-
cations to send protests to Congress
and to organize huge demonstrations
so as to keep the House Of Repre-
sentatives from carrying the bill. The
statement declares in part:
Thus, under the pretense of pro-
viding relief for the homeless youth,
the government is actually increasing
It's military forces for a new war
This new war will be q war for the
interests of Wall Street, war for
foreign markets. Already war is on
in the Far East and in South Amer
lea. The United states is actively
participating in these. 1t is also
preparing for war against the Soviet
Union, the land of the workers, the
land with no crisis or unemployment.
"The Young Communist League
calls upon all workers to fight these
preparations for war-to join hands
in common struggle for bread and
shelter. The Young Communist
League appeals especially TO the
youth-to all the youth regardless OF
political or religious beliefs, regard
less Of nationality or color, regard
less of ofganizational Affiliations, to
unite for common struggle in the
fight for unemployment insurance
and immediate cash relief"

COMMUNISM GAINING IN
COSTA RIGA

The rapid spread of Communism
in Costa RIGA during the past year
is the principal topic of conversation
in the streets and in the press here,
according to a United Press report
from San jose
Less than year ago, the report
states, Communist organizations in
Costa Rica were outlawed and the
Costa Rican Congress prohibited the
sending or receiving of Communist
literature through the mails.
III the municipal elections held on
Dec 4, however, striking gains were
made by the Communist Party. In
San Jose, out Of a total of $500 bal
lots cast, the Communist Party re-
ceived over 1300 votes. 1t is con-
sidered quite likely that the Party
will make strong showing in the
next presidential election.

that the debts can never be paid, still
his speech indicated clearly the con-
tinuation Of the policy Of using the
debts as weapons in the drive of AM
erican imperialism toward a rediyi-
sion of the world through irnperialist
war
This, of course, while implicit in
Hoover's speech, is carefully hidden
III talk about trade barriers, quotas,
etc. But the tariff wars and the
endeavor of Wall Street to try to get
Britain back on the gold standard Is
part of the struggle around the ever
sharpening riyalries of these two Inn
perialist powers. That this rivalry
grows sharper With the sharpening
Of the world economic crisis Is openly
admitted by Hoover.
Puts For Wall street Policy
The talk of Hoover on the ques-
tion of return to the gold standard
follows closely the outline Of the Ma
tional City Bank in it's February /
letter to it's customers, which COM
p4ined that without a return to the
Id standard wage cuts and other
a saultS upon the standards of liv-
zig of the masses failed to bring pro-
fits to Wall Street If England can
be induced Through pressure of debts
and other persuasive methodist to go
back to a gold standard it will re-
duce the competitive power of Brit
ain in markets where the United Sta
n S tries to sell--markets which have
seen seriously curtailed as a result
Of the abandonment by Britain Of the
gold standard last year
1t Is quite easy to see. however,
that the return TO the gold standard
cannot put an end to trade rivalry,
anymore than 1t can put an end to
any of the other imperialist conflicts.
Further Hunger Drive
1t has been common talk on Wall
Street for weeks that leading New
York bankers are In coilusion with
leading London bankers to trade re-
duction in war debts for sterilization
of sterling fthe British pound note)
on gold. One OF the factors that
hold back Britain from this step,
aside from giving up advantages in
International trade, is the realization
at under stabiliation OF sterling on
i'd, wage cuts will be carried out
b IRE directly in the form of cuts in
nominal wages. Under the present
monetary system, with It's ihflation-
AIRY possibilities In England, there has
proceeded an actual cutting of real
wages through currency depreciation,
imitation, restrictions in foreign-ex-
change trading This meets with In
creasing resistance Of the workers,
and the other system will only fur
ther provoke the masses to resistance.
In the United States wage cuts ard
other assaults upon the living stand
ard have been carried out directly
The speech of Hoover shows that
the hunger drive will be carried out
more viciously and, in his speech, he
continues his policy of paving the

street policies thus far carried out by
