MAKING LODGES LOAN
no JOBLE,SS MEMBERS

Brooklyn N. Y,
Editor of the Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
My father has been a member
Of lodge for the last 81 years
and has paid $28 yearly. but since
he has been unemployed for about
two years he cannot continue to
pay the dues. This being the case
he is threatened with Suspension
as q member The fact that he
has paid for Il years does not
mean anything to the bourgeois
leaders of the lodge. My father
is not the only one in these cir
cunlstances. There are thousands
of others in the same predicament.
In addition not only my father but
the other thousands Of men are in
dire necessity.
What 1 have in mind is this:
The lodge should be made to lend
these unemployed members at least
$500 (the members have paid more
than this amount.
OF course the lodge leaders re-
fuse to do this. I think there is
great possibility for the Communist
Party to show that they are the
only friends of these workers by ex-
posing these. lodges, together with
their bourgeois leaders and perhaps
force them to make the loans to
the worker members.
This letter Is being written by
one who is i'll earnest sympathy
with the policies of the Communist
Party and one who expects to join
the party shortly.

Editor of the Daily Worker,
Dear Conrade:

are now more everyday struggles.
The articles you have printed lately
about rent strikes, Representations,
at Home Relief Bureaus, the strug-
giles of the farmers against fore
closures, and the Scottsboro case,
ETC., is the stuff that will prove to
the workers that the Daily Worker
fights for the working class.
l have one criticism to make,
however. You comrades often write
in language that many workers
cannot understand. You use terms,
words and phrases that would
stump the average college graduate.

When all were assembled, I be-

which immediately made everybody
sit up and take notice.
The Central Committee must pre-
pare in advance a manifesto to the
workers notifying them of the
rescue of the ten prisoners, and
head it Our amnesty.
Aren't you going a little too
far?" queried "Yan" with more
than shade of incredulity in his
voice. However, his former tone of
assurance that the whole scheme
was mere phantasy was missing
from his question.

The farmers are urged to get

AL of them Sioux Indian. Quaker,
Yankee, Spaniard, Norwegian,
Swede, Jew, Russian, Finn, Scotch
Irish must be fresh for tomorrow's
WORK. They stop at the bulletin
board. A newspaper clipping about
the eviction of farmer Max Cichon
OF Sugar Greek, wisconsin. The
sheriff and an army of deputies
surround the farmhouse and at
tack with machine guns, gas bombs,
tear gas. Cichon defends himself
brayely. His wife blazes back with
a shotgun. To protect their two
small children they finally sur
render and are jailed. The farm
ers look at each other. They troop
out Of the headquarters grimly.
The conference swings into ac-
ton Wednesday morning in Typo
graphical Hall. Lem Harris. exec
utiye secretary, reads greetings
from California, Oklahoma, Mon
rana, Arkansas, Wisconsin. Tony
Rosenberg Of Nebraska is elected
chairman. The farmers begin re-
porting on conditions in their states
and communities, on farm debts
and evictions, ON action of farmers
and plans of action.
AS soon as the farmers speak,
their militanCy becomes evident.
Here is a broad mass movement.

MEANING OF RECENT
MANOEUVERS

The recent manoeuvers and
seeming vaclllations within and be-
tween the political councils of the
various groups of German capital
ism represent the efforts of each
group to dictate its conditions to
the others; then again they repre-
sent efforts of Cancellation and
compromise, efforts to agree on
the conditions of a fascist dicta-
torship, as well as efforts to pin
Hitlerism to an agreement, to such
conditions.
The Hitler government of today
is an indication that the. contend
ing forces are nearer to an agree
ment; it does not yet represent the
final and finished product. The
product is far enough developed,
however, to contain the worst dam
gers possible for the German work
ing class, as well as to intensity in
the highest degree the danger of
an immediate completion of the
capitalist war front against the
Soviet Union.
The accusations which the var
tous groups had made against each
other IL the past were part OF their
mutual efforts TO coerce each other.
These mutual accusations and bit
ter name callings are not an in
explicabie contradiction to their
unity Of today; they were only out
bursts Of the birth-pangs of that
unity.
HITLER is by no means the per-
IL sonal victor in this development.
He did not force his rule upon the
German capitalists against their
will. The victors are the uniting
bank and trust capitalists with
their semi-feudal agrarian allies.
Hitler's storm troops will now be
integrated into the official apparat-
lis of power of German capitalism.
German capitalism will now try
with the help of fascist terror to
avert its doom. But the historic
forces that weakened it to the point
that it can hope to maintain itself
only by the means OF terrorism,
have also produced additional sour
ces of strength for the working
class. The most important of
these, and decisive contributing
factor to the weakness of German
capitalism today, is the Communist
Party. OF Germany. j,

COMPROMISE OF 1S4s

The compromise of 1843 gave the
feudal aristocracy of Germany
practical monopoly on the top po-
sitions of the government appara-
tus. This enabled them to place
their younger sons into command
ing and lucrative positions In the
army, in the navy, in the diplo-
matte service, in the administra-
ton and in the judiciary. With
this possibility the aristocracy
could retain all the feuda1 trash
of the dead hand, Of the right
of the first born, and even signorial
prerogatives of judiciary power on
their estates, and the like.
The revolution of 1918 partly
ended this; but it did not end the
desires Of the mobile cavaliers" to
get back their privileges. 1t was not
fear of their Marxism that made
these mobiles" rave against the
social democratic ministers, coun-
cilors Of state and governors Of the
November republic 1t was only
their vulgar economic interest
uINpENBuRG'S presidency was
~ the first wedge this class sue
ceeded in driving into the Novem-
Der Republic. The Social Demo
Gratis helped them to drive it in.
This wedge gave them a position
OF political power with which they
could maneuver. Won Papen's
ministerial power is the crowning
achievement of these maneuvers.
Hindenburg replaced Bruening by
Won Papen not because the latter
represented more nearly the "peop-
les will" Ali Germany, and even
Hindenburg, knew that this was
not so. Won Papen was chosen be-
cause he represented more nearly
the will of the class interests of
Hindenburg and his class.
Trust and bank capital also man
oeuvered. It wanted to have it
self in direct control of the govern
ment. The German nationalist Of
Hugenberg are their party. They
detest the phrases with which So
cial-democracy covered its reac-
tionary policies. They see in these
phrases a paralyzing element for
the government. They want gov
eminent free of this paralysis. They
wanted TO have the party of these
phrases assigned TO g position more
