the seven million boys and girls
who, according to the U. S. Com
missioner of Education, Dr.. Zook,
have left school and college and are
without work. In the New York
Times of Oct. 6, in an article by
Newton D. Baker We find the fol-
lowing statement:
"Since 1929 some six million boys
and girls of the U. s. have left
school and college. OF these hardly
more than one-third have found
work to do, and most of that for
tunate third are on short hours and
short pay"
Fully $4,000, 900 Jobless
In addition, Green does not con-
slider the hundreds of thousands of
white collar workers of whom there
are more than 10000 in the City of
New York alone, as well as the
professionals of every category, For
instance, 95 per cent of the archi-
tects of the country are unemploy-
ed; IS per cent of the engineers
and technicians, 80 per cent of the
building workers, so per cent of the
railroad workers who alone repre-
sent mass of one million men;
100000 school teachers are without
work and with the cutting down of
the school budgets on the plea of
economy" have no prospect of get
ting work. Hundreds of thousands
of small farmers have been ruined
by the A.A.A. and the drought, and
have been driven off the land.
Therefore, we Communists de-
clare there are fully sixteen million
unemployed.
Who are the most stricken suf-
ferers of the crisis? The Negro peo-
pie. In Harlem, the largest Negro
center in the world, there are
2O4, 900 Negroes of whom IS per cent
are unemployed. There are thou
sands of Negroes who are getting
no relief and as a consequence the
disease and mortality rate in Har-
lem is among the highest in the
country. This applies to every
Negro community, owing to the
segregation, congestion, unsanttary
homes, the doubling up and the fire
trap conditions under which they
have to live.
The most cruel effects fall on
the children. According to Frances
Perkins, "25 per cent of the chill
dren of the U. S. are undernour-
ished"-this is, hungry. Even New
ton D. Baker, in the above men
toned article, states:
Surveys show that one-fifth of
all pre-school children today are
undernourished; that one-third of
all children are physically or men
tally handicapped"
Two and quarter million chill
dren in the U. S., particularly the
Negro children in the South, are
getting no education. Schools have
closed down because of cuts in the
educational budgets Schools are
overcrowded. Many of them are

over the radio on June %, is a de-

are not better of but on the con-
trary there is a greater restitution
and misery than ever before.
Fascism Develops
Section la of the N. R. A. code
was hailed as a safeguard of the
rights of the workers to organize
into unions of their own choice. 1t
has proved to be mockery of the
rights that workers have obtained
through generations of struggle.
Section Ia instead of supporting
these rights has been used as a
means of establishing company
unions in the U. s. and when Mr..
Sloan of the General Motors Cor
poration made his proposal for COM
pany unions in the auto industry he
was Immediately supported by Will
lam Green. Instead of being
backed up" by Roosevelt, workers
who have gone out on strike to
enforce their rights to join unions
of their own choosing have faced
police clubs, gangsters, strike break
ers, tear gas, machine guns and the
National Guard-and Roosevelt was
ready to send the U. S. Army into
Rhode Island and California. In
addition there have been formed
all kinds of Fascist organizations
like the Vigilantes, Silver Shirts,
ETC., made up of public officials and
business elements to crush the
struggles of the workers. The San
Francisco strike, the Textile strike,
the New York taxi drivers strike,
the strike of the leather workers of
Gloversville, with the murder and
wounding of scores of workers, show
that the New Deal" is facilitating
the development and establishment
of Fascism in the United States.
The best expression of the New
DEAL can be given in the follow
ing three figures:
L. Harry Hopkins reported that
over period of eighteen months,
from Jan. l, 1888 to June /, 1894,
the Federal, State and local gov
ernments combined appropriated
Sl,34C, 100000 for relief for 4,000,-
900 families. Although this sounds
like a huge sum, it means an aver
age per family of 1851 per
month. Although relief is higher
in some parts of the country, ow-
ing to struggle led by the Com
munist Party and the Unem-
piOyment Councils, it drops to as
low as four to five dollars a month
in Alabama and Georgia, where
there is great mass of unem-
ployed Negroes. 1t is only S19
month in Seneca County, N. Y.
2. The Government that talks
economy" as far as the workers
are concerned, slashed the wages
of 100000 federal mpIoyes;
through the National Economy Act
1t cut down the disability allow
ances of hundreds of thousands of
vets and threw thousands of dis
abled vets out of the hospitals to
die. This same government Is ex-
pending close to $4,000, 000,0 for

other big corporations SS,3OO,0O0,-

and it was originated by the Boil
sheviks. In the Soviet Union,
dozens of nationalities which were
oppressed under the Cars, today
live side by side in peace and har-
mony, each developing its own cul-
ture. For this the Communists
stand and fight.
A Platform of Struggle
The Communist Party calls on the
workers to organize in the shops,
to fight for increased wages, for
the right to organize into unions
Of their own choosing, for the right
to strike and picket, for the aboli-
ton of the use Of injunctions, the
police and the military in strikes.
Roosevelt's proposal of industrial
peace" Of an industrial truce"
means the giving up Of the right
to strike and the acceptance of the
miserable wages and conditions in
the shops. Bill Green accepted the
proposal-but the Communists and
the workers reject it.
The Communist Party demands
cancellation of all the debts rest
ing on the farmers and small home
owners, and the abolition Of the
Home Owners Loan and the Farm
ers Loan Corporations, which are
not providing protection for either
the small home owner or the small
farmers.
The Communist Party is mobiliz-
ing the masses of the United States
against war and fascisn, for the
fight against the capitalist system
which is trying to save itself at
the expense of the workers and
farmers, for the fight against the
New Deal" with its developing
fascism. In doing SO we are carry
ing out the great revolutionary
traditions of 1776 as applied to 1884.
The Declaration Of Independence
says:
when a long train of abuses
and usurpations, invariably pursu-
ing the same objects, evinces a de-
sire to reduce them (the people,
under absolute despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off
such a government and provide new
safeguards for their security"
Today we face a growing despo-
tism that denies millions of work.
ers the right to work and makes
them the wards Of charity. Our
rights are being trampled on, fas-
cist organizations are growing, anti
Semitisn and lynch terror are in
creasing. In 1884, following out
the revolutionary traditions inher-
ent in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, we Communists declare
that the only way the workers will
be freed from hunger, war and fas-
ciSm is by doing what the Russian
workers and the workers in Soviet
China have done, and what the
workers in all other capitalist coun-
tries are preparing to do-establish
revolutionary workers govern.
ment.
Under the leadership of the
Communist Party, we must or
ganize to overthrow the system
of hunger and war. Unity of all
workers on the basis of the fight
ing program of the Communist
Party is the burning issue in this
struggle. Men and women of the
working class, Vote Communist!
Join the Communist Party.

Nebraska Beet Field
Workers Plan Strike

SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebr., Oct. 10
Workers in the beet fields Of the
North Platte Valley, near Scots
bluff, are threatening to go out on
strike unless the beet growers give
them 20 cents of the SIPS per ton
subsidy that they receive from the
A. A. A.
The growers are afraid Of a
strike. At recent meeting with
workers representatives, j. B..
Segar, secretary of the Growers
Association offered the workers a
compromise settlement, which
would give the workers less than
half Of their original demands.
This would mean less than a 10
per cent increase in the starvation
wages of the workers.

who are therefore responsible for
unemployment.
The Communist Party is carry
ing on the fight for the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill, the
only bill which will provide every
worker in the State and in the
country with Unemployment In
surance without discrimination for
the full period of unemployment, at
the expense solely of the employers
and the government. This Dill,
which was drafted by the Com
munist Party, today has the sup
port of 2,4O0 local unions within
the A. F. of L., fifty central labor
unions, 5 state declarations of labor
5 international unions affiliated to
the A. F. of L., fraternal, veteran,
farmers, Negro, youth and all kinds
of unemployed organizations. In
addition it has been endorsed by
nearly 10 city councils including
those of st. Louis, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, Aberdeen, Canton,
Tacoma, Buffalo, Allentown, and
Bridgeport. This represents a mass
movement Of millions of people.
The Democratic Platform has
only one sentence regarding the
Negro people, namely, I'VE urge
Congress to enact the Wagner-Cos-
tigan anti-lynching Bill" Cover
nor Lehman and the Democratic
Platform have nothing to say about
the segregation of the Negro peo-
pie, about the frame-up which re-
Gently took place in Niagara Falls,
against the attempted legal lynch
ing of the Scottsboro boys. They
support the enactment of the Wag-
ner- Costigan Bill, which is an at
tempt of the white lynchers to pre-
vent white and Negro workers from
meeting in groups to prevent lynch
ing, and is merely a weapon in the
hands of the lynchers against the
Negro people.
AS against this the Commu-
mist Party demands full political,
economic and social equality for
the Negro people. We demand
and fight for the right of every
Negro to any job at equal wages
and equal relief We demand an
end to all segregation and prac-
tees which compel Negroes to
live in segregated parts of cities
which in all cases, because Of the
congestion, are the dirtiest sec
tions of the city and where they
have to pay highest rent. We
demand the right of Negroes to
live in any part of the city, to
enter and be served in any
restaurant and theatre. The
Communists demand the right of
determination for the Negro
people in the Black Belt of the
South, where they are the ma
jority of the population.
This is the self determination
slogan which Wilson used as a
trick to draw the smaller nations
into the World War, and which is
practised nowhere in the capitalist
world. 1t is the demand that has
led to the formation of conspira-
