The Army and Naval machines hummng with
furious activity! And Roosevelt in his message
SOUNDS the GRIM ominous note Of approaching wAri
Like any typical mOnger he attempts to justify
his furioas preparations for by laying the blame
at the door Of his rivals who" he says "for fear
Of immediate or future aggression spend vast
sums for sxnnanaents and prevent peace or
trade agreements. -"
But IL ID American Wall Street imperialism that ag-
sressvely builds itA enormous war machine It
prepares 10 weS from its rivals the coveted sois Of
colonial and Semi-colonsl msYketsl
WITH his most cunning tzckery, Roosevelt hauntS his
" gigantic budget budget for recovery" Re-
coVery for womP Is 1t for the expansion Of industry
for the expansion of production for the production of
goods TO be consumed by the starving suffering masses
that Roosevelt is raising these billions?
How can this be, when In words whose meaning cam
not bo mistaken, Roosevelt In his message, pro-
claimed essential Of the New Deal that it viii
destroy the unnecessary expansion of industry
In this deliberate preparation for the destruction Of
the unnecessary expansion OF industry" all the de-
oayng, parasitic features of present day monopoly
capital are revealed In their full hideousness
In his message, Roosevelt rejoiced that the New
Deal he'd laid the beginnings Of recovery by restor
ing reasonable profit to the capitalists The New Deal
offered by Roosevelt as the path which would lead
the masses out of the crisis indeed has served the Wall
Street monopoes, the weapon whereby in the last
six months, they have been able to wiring renewed
profits from the masses through bitter assault on
their living Standards through beating the down
lower than at any point Of the crisis
But this momentary rise in profits only aggrayates
the basic Of the crisis the poverty Of the masses
and American capitalism surely heads deeper crisis
for growing necessity for imperiaist expansion for
markets.
Tho Roosevelt New Deal enters o new phase
phase Of bTitaly acceerating the drive for markets
for colonial super profits for monopoly profits at the
expense Of tho whole toling population.
In this drive for profits for markets profoundly Ag
gzsyated by the crisis, the Roosevelt government is
coming into ever violent collisions with its i'm
pertslst rivals with Britain Japan France At hons
