Grant Strikers Demands and Stop Killings!

the support of the entire working class. That is
why the strike must be spread that is why there
Real solidarity within the ranks of the textile
workers, and real solidarity actions by the entire
working class and the demands of the workers can
be won. The Communist Party urges all workers to
rally to the support of the textile workers. Demand
halt to the killing of strikers Fight for the work
ers right to strike and picket Support the strike
with substantial and immediate relief collections.
In all ways rally to defense of the strike knowing,
as the spokesman for the bosses admits that the
textile workers in the front line trenches fight
ing battle for the workers as whole.
AS for the question of revolution" of "insurrec-
tion" the Communist Party has stated, and repeats
that that is not the issue in this strike The issue is
the workers demands That is what we are fighting
for.
At the same time the Communist Party states to
the workers: We are the Party of proetarian revo-
luton; our aim is the winning of the working class
for the seizure of power for the establishment of
workers government, a Soviet Government in the
United States
Don't you realize, fellow workers, as result of
your experiences in this strike that revolution
airy goal must be reached by the workers We be-
lieve it is becoming clear to you the workers of the
country, that a capitalist class which, murders
workers in cold blood, which starves workers their
wives and children, which the military forces
of the government to prevent you from winning
even the smallest demands must be driven out of
power
When the bosses become hysterical about the
Communists, and against your strike, they know
what they are doing. They see the workers begin
ming to fight. They know that today you fight for
little things, but in these fights you gain under
standing and consciousness of power They know
that from these little demands will grow the demand
for workers government, for Soviet Government
We urge you to think Of these problems Join the
Communist Party!

For Speedy United Action!

in SATURDAYS Daily Worker there
was published the complete text of the
reply of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party to the letter of the Ma
tional Executive Committee of the Social
ist Party postponing consideration of
united action between the two parties.
Despite our disappointment" says the letter of
the c. c. of the c. P, I'VE are by no means pre-
pared to slacken our efforts to achieve united
action"
The letter, which goes on to explain in detail
the position of the Communist Party on the united
front concludes with the hope that the workers OF
both parties will yet fight untedly and thus march
forward to victory"
The Communist Party which will never abandon
the fight for unity welcomes every effort at united
action, no matter on how small scale it may be
The letter of the Central Committee emphasizes
this when it declares
'Ihe final paragraph in your letter opens nm
the possibilities of local united actions, particular
ly in defense of workers rights We will do
everything possible to stimulate such local
actions"
Today in scores Of textile towns there is the
greatest need for such united actions to defend the
right Of the workers to organize to strike and to
picket We urge the immediate formation of local
united front bodies local united actions demon
STATIONS, parades, without delay. The tremendous
united front general one day strike in Hazleton
Pa, in support of the striking textile workers is
model in this respect.
Right in New York City there is the most burn
ing necessity for immediate united action between
Socialist and Communist workers and followers of
both parties Over one million iobless people will
receive no further cash relief! Certainly, if ever
there was need for unity on immediate problem
the right of the New York jobless to live-it is
now
Cannot every Socialist worker see that on this
issue the two parties organize such a rousng
movement, can get literally hundreds of thousands
OF New York workers into the streets in angry pro-
test that La Guardia and the bankers will be COM
PEELED without delay to rescind their infamous de-
cislon? Surely this is possible. Certainly this is
necessary.
There is no time to lose! To delay on such a
vital matter is to triHe with the life and death
needs of the working masses!
Forward to speedy united action!

The U.S.S.R. and the

ANOTHER victory for the peace policy
"A of the Soviet Union is recorded by
the League of Nations invitation offering
the workers fatherland a seat on the
Council of the League.
What is the situation which has
brought about this change? In 1917 and
1923 the League of Nations tried to organize the
united armed intervention Of the capitalist powers
against the Soviet Union 1t failed Today 30
nations sign the invitation to the Soviet Union to
join the League of Nations.
The main reason for this changed relationship
is the effectiveness Of the peace policy Of the Soviet
Union, which is winning victory after victory in
world torn by the strife and conflict of the i'm
perialst powers.
The world economic crisis has heightened the
antagonists among the bourgeois states, has in
tensifed the unevennesS of their drive to war, is
causing constant reshifting and upsettng of their
war alliances.
The capitalist governments are forced to recog-
nize the Soviet Union, which in the eyes of the
worlds toiling population has become the corner
stone of peace. The U. S. S. r.. the land of the
victorious proetarian revolution the land that is
rapidly building Socialism, has become such pow
erful factor for peace that the leading imperialist

The Soviet Union will utilize its seat on the

great forum, as sounding board, to speak to the
toilng mass throughout the world, to stress and
keep before them its revolutionary policy of peace
and struggle against the war plans Of the imperial
ist masters.
The Soviet Union enters the League of Nations
without the slightest shred of illusions regarding the
aims of the capitalist powers in the League The
toilng masses throughout the world will greet this
step as continuation Of the successful peace policy

If General johnson can single you out as con-
spicuous patriot of the bosses government which
shoots down textile strikers, which through the
N R. A. brought worse starvation to the textile
workers, then We can understand your attack on
the Communists, whose sole devotion, whose al

We, the Communists, are fighting with might

doubt in my mind that their work is
becoming ever more effective"
Emphasizing the exceptionally in
teresting work of agricultural and
scientific research institutions in the
Ukraine and the Caucasus, and their
connections with collective farms
and state farms, Professor Meller
stated that:
I'm the science of vegetation and
allied spheres, the scientific research
institutions of the U.S.SR. already
occupy first place, and lay down
patterns for the other countries of
the world. I may mention, more
over, that in the majority of cases,
other countries are unable to fol-
low the footsteps of the Soviet
Union because they hold to an obso-
lete system OF economy.
THE US.S.R. no longer feels the
burden of the competition of private
enterprises nor the spectre of crises,
and has Systematically organized the
utilization of the worlds resources
and vegeta tons for the economic
development of each separate region
and the entire country as whole.

urge the workers to return to work in organized
manner, prepared to hold the gains they have won.
The Hearst press repeatedly states that Com
munists want to keep the strike going they don't
want it settled any terms" This we have branded
as lie. We repeat: Grant the workers demands,
and the Communists will advise them to return to
the mills.
QUT the bosses will never willingly grant even
these modest demands of the textile workers I'M
less they are literally forced to do so by deter

In the first place there is the greed of the textile
bosses for ever greater profits for themselves at the
expense Of the workers. They will not agree to

Their aim is ever mounting profits increased

urn the Sedrchlight Munitions and Mass Murder!

THE timid and limited investigation and
disclosures Of the methods and rami-
fications of the munitions industry by the
Nye Committee have shaken the state and
war offices of all imperialist nations and
their puppet governments.
The indignant denials and furious pro-
tests flooding Washington are caused, however. not
so much by what has been revealed to date as bv
what the war mongers fear may be revealed
1t is a matter of gravest concern to the ruling
class of the entire capitalist world in the fifth year
OF the crisis with the class strugge-especally in
the United States where it involves literally new
contingens composed of millions of workers in basic
notwithstanding high levels to have even
superficial exposure of the interocking of govern
ments, the peddlers Of the machinery for mass
murder, and the fabulous profits into which rivers
OF toilers' blood are converted by the black magic
of capitalism
Two tactical lines are to be observed in the
procedure of the Nye committee: One is to put for
ward the chimera of government control" of the
munitions industry the remedy for the murderous
intrigue, debauching of public servants" and
fomenting of wars. The other approach-made
by some of the important witnesses-is to identify
frankly the munitions industry as an inseparable
part of capitalist production and conclude there
fore, that nothing be done about it.
Communists reject both these iesuitical con-
illusions In most countries the munitions indus
tries, because they after all the heavy and
decisive industries, linked either officially or
unofhcially with the government-like the Conite
DIES FORCES in France, Metropolitan Vckars in Great
Britain-so closely that their interests transcend
those of the big parties of capitalism (Witness the
strenuous efforts of Secretary of State Hull to con-
ceal from newspaper correspondents all really dam
aging documents relating to the foreign and domes-
tic intrigues of the Dupont de Nemours family and
hrm-a family and firm whose colossal fortune and
gigantic business has been built by worldwide traffic

We Ask You, Mr.. German

FRANCIS J. GORMAN chairman of the
textile strike committee, taking his
cue from General Johnson and Governor
Green of Rhode Island, made another vi
cious attack against the Communists.
Every textile worker should inquire
into the basis for these onslaughts. How
does its come about that German can be in full
agreement with Governor Green, whose troops
shoot textile strikers and with General johnson
who weeps for Mr.. Sloan, when it comes to Com
munists?
The Communist Party with all its forces is
bent on helping the textile workers win their
strike demands. In order to achieve this the
strikebreakerS must be driven from the mills
Mi German, ask, why do you attack the
Communists for this when you know if the mills
are not shut down, the strike will be lost2 Do you
want the strike to be lost? Don't YOU know that
the attack on the Communists is the main weapon
of the bosses i'm the attack against the textile
strikers? That is because the Communists are the
most militant fighters in the ranks of the entire
working class.
Why do you attack us because we tell the
workers to continue mass peketing, to keep up the
flying picket squadrons, to force all the mills to
close down; 20 safeguard every guarantee for the
victory of the strike?
no YOU think General Johnson who "weeps for
Sloan" or Governor Green, himself interested
In textile mills, will close the mills for the workers?
These men are using the armed forces of the
capitalists, the militia, the state police as well as
private gunner, to keep the mills Open The Com
munists are fighting to shut them down?
When you attack the Communists whether
consciously or unconsciousy. you help the employ
ers and their strikebreakers
M. German, you say the Communists want to
destroy the unions Is it destroying the unions
wher we fight in the ranks of the workers to
close the mills so that the strike will be won? To
win the strike means to build the union to help
the unions win recognition and better conditions.
Do you know any better way of building the union,
Mr.. German?
You say you don't like the philosophy of the
Communists, That is exactly the opinion of every
mill owner in the country
But the first point in the philosophy Of che

On Saturday, vigorous protests

demanded immediate provision of
