The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-06


Roosevelt government the funds for
wor have doubled over last year. But
1t is not only in the increased ex-
penoitures that we can see the prep
arations for war as violent attempt
to solve the capitalist crisis. The
collapse of the World Economic
Conference, and the subsequent
world financial war, especially be-
tween England and the United
States; the Montevideo Conference;
the mobilization of war forces
around Cuba; and the concentration
OF the United States feet in the
Pacific are symptoms that war is
upermoSt in the minds of the rulers
of the United States.
WHY WAR DANGER is ACUTE
Why is the danger of war SO acute
at this time? The big corporations
in the United States want a greater
slice of the worlds markets and
colonies Gas in China and South
America) in order to increase their
profits. They feel this need espe-
cially keenly after four years of
crisis. In the last world war, Wall
Street made billions. Now it wants
to save its declining profits by one
major, bloody stroke.
Every move towards war, whether
war against the victorious prole-
tartan revolution in the Soviet
Union, or war against the Chinese
or Cuban people, as well as the steps
towards war between the big powers,
have been thoroughly exposed by the
Daily Worker.
Every proposal OF the Roosevelt
regime which the capitalist press
greeted as a solution OF the crises"
has been unmasked as a war mea-
sure in the columns Of the Daily
Worker.
Especially the peace maneuyerS of
the capitalists, which cover all of
their war preparations, we're I'M
masked in the Daily Worker.
When the N. r. A. was passed and
$4,000, 100000 allocated for so-called
public works, the Daily Worker de-
clared that the major share of this
sum would be spent for war. Since
then this has actually occurred. The
Roosevelt regime has spent a round
billion dollars for war.
But it is not sufficient to expose
the war moves of capitalism, espe-
cially during the present sharp
crisis. Some of the pacifist organ
izations, too, print material on war
expenditures. They try to lead the
workers to think that war can be
abolished without aboishing capital
ism, or that it is only necessary to
expose" war in order to avoid it.
INSTRUMENT IN ANTI
VAR FIGHT
The. Daily Worker is one of the
chief instruments in the revolution
ary fight against inperialist war.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-06

The Party became so convinced of
this most important service Of our
Daily Worker that for 10 years now
it has maintained this Daily Work
er. even under most difficult cir
cumstances. But our Daily" has
repaid that effort.
FASCISM is
CHIEF ISSUE
just now the outstanding issue
before the workers is the growing
fascination of the political machin-
cry Of capitalism. This fascination is
the outgowth Of the bankruptcy of
capitalism. AS long as capitalism
was on the upgrade in it's develop
ment, 1t received the voluntary sub
mission Of the masses. The capital
list illusions in their heads belittled
their own difficulties and sufferings
and made them see a perspective of
perpetually prosperous capitalism,
with high wages, with an uninter-
ruptedly adequate income for every
body. AS long as this period Of capt.
talism prevailed, those functions of
the government which directly
manifest the dictatorial character OF
capitalist rule are an exception.
Force, terrorization, intimidation
frame-ups, are used wherever
groups Of workers show a tendency
to revolt Homestead, Ludlow, West
Virginia, Haymarket, Mooney, are in
this period more or less isolated oc-
currences. OF course, the funda-
mental principles Of capitalist die
tatorShip embodied in the fact that
the whole structure of law and gov
eminent is based upon the INTEREST,"
OF the capitalist class only and i
against the interests of the workin
class, always exist. But the capital
lst and democratic illusions bin;
the workers to this real essence of
capitalist dictatorship.
Now capitalism has travelled Over
the peak of its development; it is or
the downward grade. The Illusion
OF perpetual prosperity in the head.
OF the masses are evaporating. The
masses no longer await a socia
Eeaven from the further develop
ment of capitalism. They feel and
see the hell Of its reality. They be-
gin to ask themselves, what shall
we do to change this? Acting on
this unconscious question, the re-
sistance of the workers everywhere
to classification of their expioita-
ton grows. The masses are becom-
ing 'adicalized.

All Avenues of the
Roosevelt NeWDeal
Lead to Boss War

This fight is based on the fact the
var and capitalism are inseparable,
and to end war, once and for all,
capitalism must be ended.
Under the N. r. A, the moves to.
wards war are more intimately con-
nected with the daily life of the
whole workingclass = the G.. w. A.
and G. c. G. projects, clearly war
measures, at the same time are used
to starve the workers and to refuse
to grant unemployment insurance.
War funds are spent that should =
demanded for relief, unemployme :
insurance, and veterans bonus
The Labor Boards prepare to SMASH
all strikes, to regiment the workers
under the code, SO that the capital
lists can be better prepared for a
quick switch to war economy.
Hence, the struggle against war
is intimately connected with the
struggle for workers rights, the
right Of organization and strike,
for unemployment insurance, and
against the whole slave system Of
the N. r. A. codes.
But at the same time, a revolu-
bionary consciousness must be
aroused in the struggle against war.
1t is in this field that the Daily
Worker is particularly a valuable in
strument for the workingclasS. The
struggle for war must be a struggle
that leads to the overthrow of capi-
talism; towards the slogan of trans
forming imperiaist war into a civil
war.
In the past ten years, and in all
future issues of the Daily Worker.
one of the outstanding features has
been and will be the mobilization of
the workers for the defense of the
Soviet Union. Hitler in Germany has
raised as one of fascisIn's chief
slogans, "War Against the Soviet
Union" as an attempt to solve the
capitalist crisis. In the United
States, American capitalism was
forced to reverse its 16 year old
policy Of non-recognition. But this
by 10 means does away with the
innate and bitter hatred of Amer
lean capitalism towards the U. S. S.
r., and the constant desire and sup-
port for war to overthrow it.
To get clear, thorough picture
Of the rapid moves of capitalism to-
wards war, the Daily Worker is in-
dispensable.
And as an instrument in the rev.
dictionary fight against war the
Daily Worker has already proved it.
self valuable factor.
We are on the eve of a new i'm.
perialist slaughter that only the
workingclass can prevent by its
revolutionary action, or end by
Transforming 1t into civil war. In
this aim, no worker can afford not
to follow the Daily Worker.

mer occasional use by the govern
ment OF terrorization. force, frame
ups against the workers becomes the
prevailing system and method of
government. Democracy turns into
fascism, not by changing it's funda-
mental character as capitalist die
tatorship. but by disclosing more
and more this fundamental charac-
ter, by using more and more fascist
methods to enforce the laws of cap
italist profit interests, which were
and are also the laws of capitalist
democracy.

LENIN AND DAILY WORKER

No. neither Moscow orders nor
Moscow gold determined the estab-
lishment or contributed to the
maintenance of the Daily Worker.
It is true, the establishment of the
Daily Worker was discussed with
leading comrades in Moscow. Dele
gates of the American Party to the
Third Congress of the Comintern
discussed the problem Of the estab-
lishment Of the Daily Worker re-
peatedly with Lenin. Lenins argu-
ments were most powerful in de-
termining the decisions of the
American Party. Lenin pointed out
that workers consciousness does not
develop by itself. He showed that
this consciousness is the fruit Of
planned and organized action
Of the workers. The exploitation of

secondly, to overcome and expose
the capitalist illusions in the heads
Of the masses. Its propaganda func-
ton, therefore, must OF necessity be
much more outspoken and undis-
guised than is that Of the capitalist
press.
The need OF such q mouthpiece
0s q daily paper for our Party on
the one hand, and the immensely
Of the task of maintaining it on the
other, dominated the considerations
OF the Party concerning its estab-
6shment.
For Brown Shirts like Hamilton
Fish, for Jesuits like Father Walsh
and for labor takers like Matthew
Vol, the problem of establishing
and maintaining the Daily Worker
never existed with our Party. Their
explanation Of the establishment
and existence Of our Daily Worker
Is very simple: Moscow ordered the
establishment Of the Daily Worker
and Moscow pays its bills! These
gentlemen don't care that this ex-
PLANTATION Is contrary to the facts.
All they care about is that it is
propaganda for their class. 1t serves
their purposes It has ever been the
principle of the Jesuits that the end
juStifies the means. To say that the
Daily Worker was established by
order from Moscow Is calculated to
diScredit the Daily Worker as a
mouthpiece Of the grievances and
aspirations of the American work
ers; and to say that It's bills are paid
by Moscow serves as a justification
for the repeated lies about the STOW
of Moscow gold"

IMPORTANT BOOKS
BY AND ABOUT
LENIN

A NUMBER of vitality important
n books and pamphlets have just
been issued by International Pub
fishers in connection with the Tenth
Memorial Anniversary Of the death
Of Lenin. Together with othEI
literature already available these
will serve to popularize the teach
ings Of Lenin and their bearing upon
the problems facing the revolution
airy movement today.
Among the new pamphlets The
Lenin Heritage, by Joseph Stain,
presents the most popular explana-
ton Of the meaning Of Lenin's
teachings. 1t is a speech delivered
before the Congress of SovietS five
days after Lenin'S death, and sums
up his great heritage for the inter
national working class in simple
and extremely clear way.
In Lenin, issued as a pamphlet in
the Little Lenin Library, has been
collected three speeches by Joseph
Stain. The first one, "Lenin as
Leader and Organizer of the Com
munist Party" was delivered in 1920
while Lenin was still alive.
To be hailed as the greatest con-
trihution to the Lenin Memorial AM
niversary is undoubtedly the new
edition Of Lenin's basic work, En-
perialism-The Highest Stage of
Capitalism. This is the first COM
plete and accurate translation to be
published in English.
Of ALMOST equal Importance is
" the publication, as a pamphlet
in the little Lenin Library, of Len
ms Letter to the American Work-
ers, written in 1918, in which he
explains to them the significance of
the Russian Revolution and calls
upon them to block the interview
zionist war against the Soviet Re-
public.
Clara zetkin, the veteran Com
munist leader of Germany who died
recently, wrote of her association
with Lenin in o book which was
published Immediately after his
death. International Publishers has
issued this under the title of Ren1i-
nisceDces of Lenin. Here she tells
of her long conversations with
Lenin on the German question, the
Polish War, the problems Of the
Communist International, culture
and art, women, marriage, sex and
youth.
Nor have the children been neg
lected In providing literature for
Lenin month and after. Perhaps
one of the most effective of chill
oren'S books to be published here
IS the forthcoming Our Lenin, writ
ten by Ruth Shaw and Harry Alan
Potamkin and illustrated with IS
pictures by William Siegel. Potam-
kin completed work on this book
just before his death.
In addition to this new literature.
there are the Collected Works of
Lenin, the II volumes In the Little
Lenm Library, Krupskaya's Mem
cries, Maxim Gorky;s Days With
Lenin and Stains Leniniszn and
Foundations of Leninism.
These pamphlets and books,
priced cheaply, constitute a rich
body Of literature to be used in the
spreading and propagating of Len
ms teachings. International Pub
fishers at 38l Fourth avenue is to
be commended on its activity in
making this literature available and
all those interested are urged to
write them for full lists and further
details.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-12-03

Part of this is due to the marvel
GUS sorority and depth Of color with
which only Russians seem to be en-
dowed, but aside from this native gift,
they possessed an ineXhaustible fam
tasy which imbues their interpreta-
tionS with constant variety. 1t is
remarkable enough that their ener-
getic leader, Serge Jaroff. has at his
command a rich source Of ideas. but
still more remarkable that this group
of SO men can reproduce them with
such accurate artistry. From a mere
mechanical standpoint, the gradations
of effects, the attack and release Of
tone and the ease of execution were
a sheer delight to hear. Again, the
more difficult task of coloring their
choral numbers with true sentiment
was accomplished with power of
projection that left none of the
auditors unresponsive.
During the Summer months, the
Don Cossacks spend seven hours a
day rehearsing. Russian music with
its changing tempt requires exactness
in execution as well as quick flashing
color in tone and feeling. Accus-
toned as Russians are to the COM
plicated harmony of the church
music and the self-expression that
makes their folk music a kaleidoscope
of the gay and sorrowful, of happi-
ness and yearning, the Don Cossacks
have built their ranging programs
on this foundation and adapted them
to the most critical artistic taste of
a Western public. AS usual, the pro-
gram yesterday touched on every Sec
ton of national life. religion, the
theater, the peasantry and the soldier.
A greater accentuation was given
yesterday to the development of the
finest pianissimo and to an imitation
of instruments in accompaniment that
has been noticed in former programs.
The finely attuned harmony of the
various voices and the clever devices

beauty OF IQelr singing.
used to gain effects were such as no
other choral group has been able to
attain, let alone visualize. The use
of falSetto gave the needed soprano
quality to many of the numbers, al
though tendency to overuse this
delicate mechanism was apparent.
However, the tenor section gained in
beauty through this restrained singing
and was able to match more nearly
than ever before the full resonant
color of the other timbers. The tonal
range OF this group is enormous, yet
in reaching its extremes, rarely was
the velvety bloom of the natural voice
sacrificed.
To the long and varied program Mr..
Jaroff added two numbers that had
been especially requested, and at least
six encores, finishing with the ever
popular "Volga Boat Song" An in
novation was the appearance of two
dancers during the last number, who
gave some of the most complicated
Russian dance steps with tempera-
mental swing. If anything was needed
to add to the enthusiasm of the au-
dience. this dashing exhibition of
grace and speed accomplished this end
The universal and sincere apprecia-
ton OF the high artistry of the entire
program caused the audience to re-
ceive Mr.. Jaroff with enthusiastic
applause at each of his appearances,
seeming to desire to convey to him
their admiration of the excellent work
he has done from year to year with
the fine material he has in his chorus.
