Persistent Struggle Against
Sectarianisn


In order TO get the Party firmly rooted among
the decisive elements of the American workers it must
in all seriousness carry out the concentration on
special factories, districts and sections.
1.-THE center OF gravity Of the Party work must be
shifted to the development Of the lower organizations.
the factory nuclei local organizations and street nuclei
1t goes without saying that 1t is task to place
selves at the head Of every movement which breaks
out spontaneously in the country, and to lead such
movements where the refonis leaders stand at the
head Of movement, to work for the building Of fight
ing organs OF the masses in the and replace
ment Of the refornist leaders. But unless tenaci
ously concentrate our work the most important in
dusrial certers we cannot build up stable Party and
revolutionary trade union movement capable Of resist
ing all blows and prosecutions by the bourgcoisie
THE German Communists offer the best example
of this. 1t Is only because the Communist Party OF
Germany closely linked up with the decisive sections
Of the German proletarat that 1t is able To carry
its struggle against German Fascism unnteruptedly,
in spite OF brutal Fascist terror"

THE government announced yesterday that the RFC.
since its inception last February has made cash
advances Of three billion dollars oes sci 900 to
be exact.
That's an enormous amount OF money. 1t could
feed hundreds Of thousands OF obless starving workers
and their families for several weeks.
But it wasn't the hungry workers who got the
benefit of that mountain of government money col
lected in one way another from the vast toiling
population a.
1t was the banks the rich railroads. the insurance
companies, the big corporations mortgage and trus

huge RIG pork barrel.
OF the total three billion they got about 30 per cent
OF the cash.
The msagre remainder went for state grants for
relief And ct these relief grants not all have yet
been actually spent.
The RIG has turned out to be huge pork barrel
for the reconstruction Of the wsverng profits Of the
banks and capitalist investors. 1t has turned out to
be nothing but device whereby the government
lively steps In TO guarantee the capitalists against
losses.
Dawes for example, got 100000 for his private
little bank in Chicago. That under Hoover.
Jesse Jones' present Chairman of the RIG, got
$600Oo,O00 for his own. private little bank down IN
Oklahoma. That is under Roosevelt Jones is Roose-

The plumber goes merrily on-while Roosevelt turns

there is no money!
THERE is plenty Of money-for the bankers and raf-

Capitalism a Menace

IN THE FACE of undernourishment and starvation of
thousands OF working class children, the capitalist
officials of the New Jersey Milk Control Board have
just proposed nationwide COW killing campaign to
raise the price OF milk
ever there were proof OF the criminal insanity not
only Of the capitalist system Of private property and
wage slavery but Of the capitalist class ITSELF it is
such proposals these.
Right at the present moment there thousands
upon thousands OF children who are suffering from
lack OF sufficient milk
But the capitalist rulers are not interested in that
They interested In proft-and nothing else. That
is why they destroy food.
And by this food destruction it is only the big
farm landlords wheat SPECTATORS and Wall Street milk
trusts who profit. The small farmers are ruined, and
the city workers forced deeper into starvation
the Soviet Union the workers are united with the
farmers to increase the amount OF food the supply of
manufactured goods the number Of cows the supply of
milk to the full. And it is they alone who get the
beneft-not any capitalist robbers.
This criminal insanity in the face Cd human need
part Of capitalism Has not the Roosevelt government
itself slaughtered thousands q young hogs, drowned
thousands more In order to raise the price Of meat?
Has it not destroyed cotton and wheat to raise the
price of cloth and bread?
Has it not in the Mix Codes forced milk prices up
from 10 to 20 per cent?
THE other day, Roosevelt speaking with feigned in
dignation, declared there are some who think In
terms Of dollars and cents instead Of human lives
there some who prefer government by privileged
class instead OF majority rule"
In the light OF the governments actions, how hypo-
critical this isl The wholesale destruction Of food the

Van der Lubbe, Spy,
Exposed By Letters
In Paris Paper
Humanite, Communist
Daily, Reveals Him
AS ProVOcateur

PARIS, France. - Documentary
proof that Marinus van der Lubbe
the idiot Hollander used as tool
of the Nazis in the Reichstag fire
was spy and provocateur active in
the business as far back as 1929, is
published in 'l'Humanite," central or
gan of the Communist Party.
The documents, consisting of let
tiers written by van der Lubbe HIM
self, came into the hands of the
newspapers too late to be turned over
for inclusion in the famous Brown
Book but it is announced they may
be included in future editions, or in
the second volume which is planned.
Facsimiles of the letters are pub
lished by 'THumanite,' which re-
produces three of them. Two of them
deal with the provocations and spy
ing in the ranks of the Young Com
munist League. The third, of earliest
date, shows that van der Lubbe had
been eliminated from the organiza-
ton, and was making vain efforts for
reinstatement. 1t is dated, Friday,

Killers Agents in America

THE paid agents of the Hitler regime in the United
States are making desperate, concerted effort to
line up all German Americans recruits for the Na1
gospel Of murder, anti-Semtism and terrorism. All
the pressure and intimidation which the German Pas
ciss know how to apply SO welthreats of reprisals
against relatives in Germany discharge from jobs, and
the lke-are being used to silence opponents Of Hit
1ersnn among German Americans and to mobilize these
millions as propagandists for Nazi Germany.
NaSi activity in America is being pushed three
distinct fronts. One is expressed by Propaganda
Minister Coebbes Sunday speech in Berlin, where the
man who plotted the Reichstag fire declared:
Il am sure that Americans of German ancestry are
particularly immune to tendencious atrocity stories
circulated by interested circles In them Germany will
find her most loyal supporters"
The disclosures of the Brown Book" and the tales
brought out of the German hell by thousands Of
refugees, many of whose bodies bear living wit
ness the sadstic terror raging within Germany, show
how much awful truth there is in these so-called
"atrocity stories"
establishing contact with American high finance to
enlist the class support Of American capitalism for the
Hitler regime IN Germany, proved by the Daily
Workers recent disclosures regarding the pro-Naz
plans of Albert H. Wggin leading Wall Street figure.
Still another is the underhand secret work Of the
Friends of the New Germany the newborn
