Amter Presents Workers. View of Election Issues

sional people suffer the most drastic
destruction Of their living standards.
Tens of thousands of them are on
the verge Of starvation, without
hope, without security, without pos
sibilities of securing employment.
The state relief law for veterans
is violated by the authorities. These
boys who fought for the rich, are
destitute, homeless, denied their
bonus and disqualification.
"Foreign-born workers, teachers,
professionals, do you think that it's
the job Of bankers and political
agents of the wealthy corporations
to serve your interests? Just listen

about each other: Moses says, The

ultra conservative banker Lehman

gentlemen know each other very
well.
The Socialist Party's Program
Solomon, the Socialist Party
candidate, is lawyer who gas got
ten injunctions against workers,
who receives juicy plums from
Democratic and Republican judges
in receivership appointments. 1t is
no accident that Solomon is the
standard bearer for the Socialist
Party. 1t fits in very well with the
whole program of the Socialist
Party. The Socialist Party finds
nothing to be ashamed of in Solo
mons record. Socialist leaders sup
port the N.RA. and the New Deal.
In their election platform, they don't
say one word against the use of
troops for strikebreaking. They
haven't a single word of condem-
nation for the relief cutting, strike
breaking policy of LaGuardia. Can
you vote for such party? In Ger
many and Austria, the Socialist
Parties, at one time, were in con-
troll of the government. Instead of
bringing in Socialism, they put
capitalism back into power. Their
refusal to unite the labor move
ment against faScism helped bring
Hitler into power in Germany, and
saddled fascism on Austria. The
same thing happened in Spain. They
split the ranks of the workers and
refuse to fight against the threat
ening war now being prepared.
THE Communist Party does
everything in its power to unite the
ranks of the workers and their allies,
the professional white-collar people
and poor farmers, against the few
eriSh war preparations of the New
Deal. Billions are poured by Roose-
welt into the Army and Navy war
machine. The fascist mailman Hit
Ter is throwing a burning torch into
Europe. NaH Germany is melting
war in the Saar, in Austria and
against the Soviet Union. In the
east, japanese imperialism daily in
creases its plots to provoke war on
the Soviet Union. Fascist Italy is
openly preparing for war. The
growing rivalry and naval race be-
tween japan and the United States
spells world war. We are on the
brink Of bloody catastrophe. In
this election campaign only the
Communist Party raises the ban
ner of unity of all workers, of all
enemies of fascist barbarism and
imperialist war, for Joint struggle
against faScism and war.

The developments in every coun-

A Revolutionary Program
I'VE workers can make this coun-
try OF ours paradise. There is no
excuse for any one to be out of a
job, to lack clothing or shelter in
the United States. We have the
most developed industries in the
world. We have enough factories.
millions of skilled workers. We
have everything necessary to pro-
vide everybody with all that is
necessary for happy, decent life.
But now We cannot do this because
not the workers, but the capitalists
control the industries. If we had
the industries, we could give every
body job.
The bosses tell you that the
trouble is that we produce too much.
that is why millions are starving.
We produce too much clothing
that is why we cannot buy a new
shirt. We have too many houses
