Living Costs Up,
Production Down
In Nazi Germany
Arms Making Grows, An
Other Work Shrinks.
Says Report

NEW YORK, April ga picture
of Germany struggling with in
creasingly difficult economic prob
lens as a result of the Hitler policies
is given in a review by the Foreign
Policy Assn.
The cost of living has been in-
creased 10 per cent while total In
dustrial production has decreased
between 3 and half and 6 per cent
compared with 1888, despite heavy
industries showing increases. The
only other increase is in the govern
ment budget. Both increases seem
based on arms orders.
Foreign trade shows a growing
deficit and the gold coverage of the
mark steadily declines. 1t is at
about 8 per cent.
Hitler claims of improved employ
ment are discounted by the fact,
that 100000 women have been dis
placed, 100000 men have been put
in labor camps and unknown other
thousands are in concentration
camps or exile.
"The rights which labor won un-
der the empire and the republic have
been abolished and the Third Reich
appears to constitute a veritable in
dustrialists' paradise" the report
enas.

Graz Socialist PubIishes
Joins Communist Party
With His Paper

VIENNA, March % (By Mali -
The "Roter Arbeiter," which ap-
peared in Graz before the February
uprising as the organ Of the left
wing Of the Austrian Socialist
Party" is now being published as
the organ of the Communist Par D
Of Austria. The publisher, a we
known functionary and shop stewa5t Il
Of the Wagner, Bro" bridge build
ing works, has joined the Com
munist Party in declaration
published in today's number. The
newspaper now appears as the Illegal
organ of the revolutionary workers
of Graz.
SOiaI Democrats Join Communist
Party
The movement among the social
democratic workers for withdrawal
from the Social Democratic Party to
go over to the Communists, is as
suming ever greater dimensions.
In Vienna whole groups Of the
Republican Guards have joined the
Communist Party. In the 21st Dis
trict two sections of the Social
Democratic Party, with their lead
ers, have joined the Communist
Party. In many cases the workers
still working in the illegal groups of
the Socialist Party refuse to dis
tribute the Brunn "Arbeiterzeitung".
for the reason that it still bears the
subtitle Central Organ of the So
cial Democratic Labour Party Of
Austria" These workers declare
that they want nothing to do with
the old social democratic party.
New Communist shop Cells Formed
In many large-scale undertakings
in Vienna, where there have hither-
to been no nuclei Of communist or
ganisations whatever, the social
democratic workers are coming to-
day to the Communist Party. and
are forming factory cells. The same
movements is observable in the
provinces. In Lower Austria whole
groups of workers are coming over to
the Communist Party in the Liesin-
ger district GO members of one local
group of the Republican Guard and
in the Triesting valley In this lat
ter district Communist factory cells
are being formed in the large-scale
industrial undertakings.

Tax on Big Profits
Rejected By Senate
Millionaires Protecte d
From Heavy Taxes On
Huge Incomes

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The La
Toilette amendment TO the tax bill
providing for an increase in sur
taxes on large incomes was de-
feated by the Senate today by a
vote of At to 36.
This continues the Roosevelt pol
icy of leaving large incomes alone
as far as taxes go. The present tax
policy of the government places the
heaviest tax burdens upon the
masses and lower middle classes.
The Senators voting against the
amendment that the millionaires
who now escape heavy taxes could
evade the new taxes anyhow by
buying more tax-exempt securities
All proposals, however, to make the
government securities subject to
taxation have been rejected by Con-
gress.
Recent Senate Investigations re-
yealed that the wealthiest sections
of the population, the Morgans. the
Rockefellers, and the Wall Street
bankers pay little or no income tax
being able to escape through the
many 1oopholes in the laws.

IND so the worssrS slogan Ia war, the slogan oG

tOnalism across the war-front and war on the

Toward the soldiers and workers Of other

Turn the imperiaIist war into civil war: turn

The Roosevelt New Deal" the NRA is slash
ing wages raising prices breaking strikes, throw
ing the unemployed hungry into the streets, mill
tarizing the youth, co-ordinating TIE industrial
apparatus for war,
It is reaching out ever more aggressiveIy to
exploit the colonies and semi-colonies Of the world
to carry out relentless trade war against all its
rivals
1t is actively preparing for war
Therefore, the struggle against the New Deal
the struggle against the N.R.A, against the slave
codes against the Roosevelt strikebreaking in de-
tense of the workers right to struggle for their
demands is also a struggle against war
The exposure Of the capitalist state is an essen
tial part Of the fight against war. The two strug-
gles-the fight against war, and the fight against
capitalism, cannot be separated.
The aim Of both struggles can only be the aim
of workers and farmers government, Soviet
America.

Asks for Support
OF Anti-War Fight
OF Marine Union
Provisional Committee
Active Getting Aid
for Marine Workers

NEW YORK-Pointing out that
the marine workers occupy a key
position in the fight against i'm
perialist war and fascism the Provi-
Sional Committee for the Support
of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, sos Fifth Ave, has issued a
call for active and financial support
of this militant union.
The call of the Provisional Com
mittee said in part:
In their active struggles against
war and fascism, the Marine Work
erS Industrial Union has adopted
the slogans, stop Shipment of
Munitions" Don't Load War Ma
terials to or from American Ports"
In their constant contact with for
eign seamen they are successfully
carrying out vital anti-fascist work.
However, the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union is hampered in its
work by lack of funds. This militant
union, as distinguished from the
average A. F. Of L. union, does not
expel its unemployed members be-
cause they cannot pay their dues.
The union is therefore forced to ask
for outside assistance.
THE Provisional Committee for
the Support of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, which was organ
lied by group of liberals, is en-
deavoring to establish a sustaining
fund to further the activities of this
militant union against war and fas-
ciSm.
"All who have anti-war and anti
fascism work at heart. should send
their contributions and pledges to
this committee"

$4,000 Dead Is
One-Year Toll of
Marking Terror
100000 Condemned to
Slow Death i'm
Dungeons

SHANGHAI.-According to in
complete statistics compiled by the
International Red Aid, the number
Of victims of the white terror in
Kuomintang China and the parts
occupied by the Japanese during
the year 1888 reached q total of
$4,000 murdered and 100000 i'm
prisoned. The number was highest
in Central China, where the power
of Chang Kai-Shek is the great
est. where 277,0O0 were slain and
$4,000 imprisoned. In Southern
China, $1,000 were killed and $4,000
imprisoned, while IN Northern
China $4,000 were killed and 81 900
imprisoned.
In reality, imprisonment for any
length of time in China is equiva-
lent to a death sentence, especially
! for those suspected of having taken
part in the revolutionary struggle
or even having shown signs of SYM
pathy for it.
Prisoners are confined in small
unlighted, unventilated rooms, the
floors of which are usually either
the bare ground or stone or cement
There is no heat in the winter
Toilet arrangements are usually
lacking, or are of the most print
tive and filthy sort. Usually there
is not even cot in the room. Con-
finement is either in solitary or in
horribly overcrowded small rooms
4 little dirty rice soup, with I'M
boiled drinking water together with
/ some boiled rice of the poorest
grade, makes up the fare of the
prisoners. Medical attention is al
most entirely lacking TorElre OF
the most inhuman kind Is the daily
] lot of most prisoners.

POLITICAL UNIFORM BAN
DEFEATED IN COMMONS
Measure Aimed at Communists
Causes Laughs During Brief
Debate.
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 17-With many
laughs and without a division, the
House of Commons yesterday declined
to permit introduction of private bill
to prohibit the wearing of political
uniforms for political purposes.
The bill was aimed at Fascists and
Communists alike. AS it was intro
duced under the 10minute limit rule,
there were only two speeches allowed
that of Comdr. Oliver Locker-Lamp-
son, the bills sponsor, and Lord
Winterton, who opposed it.
But obviously the prevailing opin-
ion in the House was the bill instead
of damaging Sir Oswald Mosley's
Fascist Blackshirts would be more
likely to confer on them the political
advantages of "martyrdom."
