Unite Against Spanish
Reaction

M0MENTOUS, revolutionary events are
w occurring in Spain that should arouse
and rally the whole American working
class behind their Spanish brothers.
After three years of the Spanish re-
public, the most reactionary forces are concentrat
ing their efforts to set up fascist dictatorship to
drive the workers into submission, into starvation,
and into worse slavery,
The workers answer has been q revolutionary
general strike, united front Of Communists, So
cIalists and Syndicahsts has been achieved. Fight
ing Is going on in all parts of Spain with the mad
dogs of the Spanish capitalists landlords and for
egn conceSsionaires, modifying their armed forces
to repeat the Austrian and German events.
Only road to victory Is open for the Spanish
proletariat, the road Of the revolutionary offensive
the road of establishing workers government
proletarian dictatorship.
That is the road urged by the Communist Party
Of Spain That is now the task OF the united front
achieved by the workers in their revolutionary gen.
eral strike and in the armed fighting going on
throughout the country.
We must now be ready to rush to the defense of
our Spanish brothers. That can best be done by
the united front of the Socialist and Communist
Parties of the United States. Socialist brothers!
We must now unite our forces to do everything in
Our power for the victory Of the Spanish revou-
tionary general strike and to defeat the forces of
Spanish reaction and fascism

"A Change in Diet

I ESS food for every working-class family,
Il and degradation in the quality of
the food that will go onto the tables of the
working-class in the coming months-such
is the tardy admission of Roosevelt's AAA
board in its latest reports on the effects Of the crop
reducing program and the drought.
In short Roosevelt's A.A.A. program and the
drought which only completed the destruction
which Roosevelt began, will mean steady advance
in starvation among the men, women and children
Of the whole toiling population.
"A change in diet" is how the Roosevelt officials
politely describe the coming food shortage.
But this is change in diet not from one staple
to another Of equal food value This rs a change In
diet brutaly forced upon millions of starving people
by the ruthless necessity of rising food prices This
is a change from good food to inferior low quality
food. This is change that means undernOurish-
ment, vitamin and calcium deficiencies and disease.
Naturally, the Roosevelt officials attempt to place
all the blame for this increased starvation and ris
ing food costs upon the impersonal fury Of the
drought.
But without the planned destruction Of crops
by the Roosevelt AAA the drought would not be
the disaster that it has become. The food supply
of the country would not have been menaced at all.
The drought could have been met by the accumu-
lated reserves, which were destroyed by Roosevelt
Leu u Oe pOhuereo Oy every WORKER VINO sees
his children getting less and less milk. less and less
nourishing food the profiteers gouge increasing
hunks out Of the weekly pay envelopes that RoOse-
vets policies had already raised food prices % per
cent above last year before the drought had begun
to take effect at all!
The drought only gave the final touches to this
criminal prce-raising program Of Roosevelt whose
sole purpose is to protect the profits of the Wall
Street monopolies
The fight for higher wages and against food
gouging is matter Of the welfare of the families
Of millions of American workers. The pronteers
aided by the Roosevelt government must not be
permitted to coin new profits out of the starvation
Of the American working-cIass.

writing in favor of the dictatorship
of the proletariat and against fas-
cism, but took no concrete steps
to unite the ranks of the workers
for the achievement of these ends
A united front was formed between
the Communist Party of Spain and
the Young Socialist League, which
recently was able to mass over
$1,000 workers in the Madrid Sta
dunn in demonstration against
Fascism.
The Socialist Party has the larg-
est proportion of organized workers
in it's ranks, while the Communist
Party, from latest reports, had over
10000 members in its ranks. The
Anarcho-Syndicalist leaders only
half-heartedly entered the armed
struggle, being forced into action
by their membership who went into
the general strike and into the
armed struggle along with their
brothers in the Communist and So
cialist Parties,
