Will Voice Satisfaction.
On the inside, the White House and
the Congressman are going to great
lengths to keep from fighting each
other. The congressional leaders have
been permitted to understand on the
@. T. that President Roosevelt will do
everything he can to help Democratic
Congressman get reelected. He actu-
ally has planned to make statement
at the end Of the session, congratu-
.lating Congress on its work.
There has been some suggestion
that he issue public appeal be-
fore merit November for election of
Democratic Congress. He prob
ably UiH not 90 that far, not be-
cause of any personal feeling, but

elections.
Congressman Blanton's rantings
against the press do not mean any
thing. He has two buttons of his
vest and has had for a long time.
Newsmen got the lists of House Sig
natures on discharge petitions from a
couple of Congressman who went so
far as to have copies made, segre-
eating the signers by States. Blan-
toms attack on the newsmen was
quickly repudiated by other members
of the House, who realized they had
no right to conceal their signatures.
Reporters have various ways OF
getting stories. One day recently
newsman, with better than average
eyes, stood in the press gallery 10
feet above Vice President Garner and
read a note Garner was writing to a

how the news about the note got out.

Messrs. Smith and Bragg left the

about two months ago. When the
Senate stock market investigators
started looking for them, they had
just set sail for Honolulu or Australia;
no one knows which. They were be-
yond the reach of a subpoena which
would have required them to testify

They are also selecting an oppor-

SUPPORT "Der Arbeiter"

ONE of the most urgent tasks which the
working class of the United States has
before it in its decisive fight against the
growth of fascism in this country, is the
mobilization of the German-speaking work
ers, as part of a powerful, nationwide
Anti-Fascist front. Hitler's agents are
making every effort to bring the small tradesmen
and the workers of German descent into their Nazi
organizations Ambassador Luther and his agents
are spending millions for the financing of these
Nazi activities as even the investigating committee
Of Congress had to admit. The Nazis in the United
States are closely connected with all reactionarv
and fascist elements here in the United States like
the Silver Shirts, Hamilton Fish, ETC. Be they
German or American, the fascists are brothers
under the skin.
In order to fight this fascist offensive, to win
the German speaking masses for the Anti-Fascist
'front.' to uncover the empty boasts of Roosevelt's
New Deal" and for the revolutionary way out-the
struggle for Soviet America-the working class
needs powerful, widely circulated fighting organ
In the German language. The "Arbeiter" published
by the German Bureau of the Communist Party
OF the u S. A., is today the only fighting organ of
the German speaking workers in this country. but
1t must reach more tens of thousands of workers
OF the whole working class. The press is our
strongest weapon in our struggle for proletarian
world. 1t is up to the German workers in the
United States with the help of all other workers
10 puld the 'Arbeiter' into a mass paper which
reaches every shop where German-speaking work
ers are employed, every home where German is
spoken
The "Arbeiter" has begun a circulation campaign,
10 get 5000 new readers by September l. All efforts
must be made to reach and surpass this goal. This
circulation campaign must be the starting point of
increased efforts to bring the "Arbeiter" to point
where 1t can be published the only daily workers
newspaper in German
only II every reader makes this circulation cam
palgn his own personal affair, himself gets new
readers and spreads the "Arbeiter" wherever Ger

Chinese Red Army Spreads Soviet Area TO Coast

year to fight the taxes, forms the
nucleus; and there has been sub
sequent formation of multitude
of Soviets in the neighboring coun-
ties. A powerful force of about
10000 red guards has been organ
lied. And about 10000 peasants
and workers have joined hands with
the red guards. The red force is
composed of more than 10 units,
each with 600 or TOO men, all un-
der the command of Comrade Fan
Teh-mien.
Strong Red Military Unit
The military organization has
evolved into strong unit, with
strict discipline. Attached to the
regular army are the political de-
partments and the G. P. u, under
the leadership of Comrade Hung
Shao-yin, a girl. The G. P. U. units
are each provided with three motor
boats, and so or 10 junks. The red
guards have two arsenals and make
a certain amount of ammunition.
The peasants are willing to stand
in the van in any battle, although
they bear only swords and spears,
because of the lack of firearms.
Sixty per cent Of the erea in each
county has been brought under the
domination of the Soviets, with the
subsequent division of the land.
The mountains in this part of the
province offer obstacles to the ap-
proach Of the K. M. t. bandit troops.
The struggle in these regions has

worded in the most abstract form
possible.
The lack of a farm policy call
ing for collectivization, ETC., was an
other point of the heated debate
between several of us who were sin
cerely trying to forge a real revo-
lutionary program and the Love-
against the Iron Heel of Fascism,
The weakness and insincerity of
the paragraph on the United
Front" was obvious. There were
many other undesirable features in
the Revolutionary Policies Commit
tee program and many important
questions were eyaded entirely.
Some of us lent our names and
energies to the advancement of this
program, in spite of it's DEFICIENCIES,
in the endeavor to formulate some
semblance of a unified faction of
militant workers in the Socialist
Party. We realized the necessity
Of exposing the obvious truths
about the Socialist Party and its
reactionary leaders.
Few, if any, of us held any hopes
Of even this minimum program be-
ing accepted by the Socialist Party
convention. Now, after the bicker-
ing and arguments of the delegates
have been studied and analysed, we
find that the opportunist and re-
formiSt elements, who call them
selves "militants," have stolen many
of the radical phrases from the
Revolutionary Policies Committee.
These terms, minus all substance,
were accepted with great acclaim by
the convention.
Don't Fight Fascism
These militant phrases will at
tract many workers who have come
to realize that the present system
offers no hope and that they must
organize and fight capitalism and
its terroristic aids, War and Fas-
cism. The workers thus attracted
will be eXhorted to fight against
Communism. Then, when the rul-
ing class decides to clamp down on
all protest, the workers under So
cialist Party leadership will find
themselves unprotected and helpless
against the Iron Heel" of Fascism,
proving again the historic mission of
social-fascism. This makes the So
cialist Party much more impor-
tant adjunct to the fascist groups
which are espoused by the capital
list class.
Because of these facts, appeal
to every militant socialist worker to
throw off the shackles of social-fas-

Cities Captured, Marking
Division Wiped Out;
Army Grows

SHANGHAI, China (By MaiD =
In the month just past, the efforts
of the Chinese Soviets and the Red
Army have met everywhere with
significant successes, from Fukien
to Szechwan, giving the lie to the
false Kuomintang reports on its vic
tories.
The defeat of Chang Kai-Shek
in the Kiangsi Province called for
a change in his tactics. AS a re-
suit, he has moved part of his
troops into Fukien, and is hoping
to attack the Soviets from that di-
rection. But the Red Army oper-
ating there upset Chiangs plan by
capturing the cities of Yin-an and
Kweihua last month, annihilating
the Sind division under the COM
mand of Lu Shin-pun. At the same
time, the seven counties along the
coast Of northern Fukien have been
Sovietized, thus creating serious
situation for the X. M. 7. author
tiles at Focchow, the capital of Flu
ken.
This section Of Fukien is COM
monty called East Fukien, and
covers seven counties, all located
close to Foochow. The local COM

government at Foochow. Tawanpao,
the magistrate of Poochen, northern
Fukien, requested in an urgent tel
egram, sent May 10Th, that more
soldiers from the provincial author
tiles be dispatched, in an attempt
to rout the attack of the red army
under Comrade Fan Teh-mien.
The Red Army in Hupeh
On May Day the red fighters, I'M
der Comrade Kao Unison, attacked
Yanglu SEE, an important point on
the Changsha- Wuchang railway
and succeeded in disarming the K.
M. It. garrison. On the same day,
another portion of the Red Army
captured Shaszekai, Luyang, which
lies only 80 miles from Changsha
capital of Human. Two days later
the Red Army occupied the Taolill
station of the line just named.
The Red Army in Honan has
built up strong bases around San
chen County and recovered bit by
bit the territory lost to the K. M
T. during the gigantic offensive last
year. In the middle of May, Lotien
a county in East Hupeh, fell into
the hands of the Red Army. The
neighhoring city, Chisui, was men
aced, resulting in the exodus of al
most all landlords and capitalists.
Red units in Anwhei also have been
active apparently operating in con-
junction with the Red Army in East
Hupeh. On May 6, about 100 militia

Activity in Human and Szechwan
In April, the Red units in south

AS the Human government concen-
trated its forces in East Human, in
an endeavor to stave off the attack
of the Red Army, the red partisans
under Comrade Ii Chun-pao have
had a freer hand in Southern HUI
nan. Comrade Ii effected con-
junction with Comrade Lii Lin in
Tsenchow and the units elsewhere,
threatening to cut off communica-
ton between Human and Kwang-

In response to the activities of

wan, the radicalized peasants and
soldiers in Southern Szechwan (An-

Dangling Bait Before
the JobIeSS

THE shrewd publicity experts at the
L White House are not losing any sleep
as the Roosevelt government gets ready
to appear once again before the masses in
the November elections as Social
minded" government.
The latest move is the announcement by
Roosevelts relief administrator Hopkins, of a new
four-pont program for social welfare" program
that repeats some of the points Roosevelt trundIed
out several weeks ago in his social" program de-
signed to catch the votes in the Autumn Congress
sional elections.
Hopkins talks about the need for some kind of
unemployment insurance" about old age pensions,
and what he calls plan ito decentralze industry"
The most significant admission in Hopkins re-
port is the statement that the starvation of the
vast army of unemployed is not the temporary"
phenomenon which it was cheerfully described to
be last year, but permanent feature of American
life from now on. American capitalism has reached
the stage in its crisis where it can no longer find
a place in its profit economy for about 10000 900
workers and their families A vast army of jobless
permanently facing starvation-this is one of the
results of the development of the most highly de-
veloped capitalism in the world.
Nothing could be a more damning indictment of
the entire system, and more eloquent evidence of
the need for smashing it than this admission of
Roosevelts relief official
HOPKINS of course, has not the slightest inter
A est in the public OF any intention of providing
adequate relief and insurance for them. His &C
lions during the past year have been sufficient
evidence of that He has carried through Roose-
velt's relief program, which is the Wall Street pro-
gram of giving the starving little as they will
stand for.
Hopkins is opposed to the only bill that really
would give the obless relief the Unemployment In
surance Bill This alone exposes his social pro-
gram" as forgetting fraud
Hopkins decentralization" plan for industry,
harmless as it looks, masks a brutal, reactionary
program of tying the workers to the factories of
the Wall Street monopoieS in isolated districts
where the workers will be forced to grow their own
food, in addition to Shaving in the factories plan
calculated to drive the workers wages far below
their present starvation levels 1t is plan to in
crease monopoly profit like all Of the Roosevelt
government social" legislation.
Roosevelt has not done a thing to feed the
drought-stricken impoverished farmers or the job
less army in the cities His sole concern has been
to keep the Wall Street bill for relief as small as
possible.
His latest Social" schemes are only the callous
heartless trickery of Wall Street agent who will
traffic in starvation to get votes for the coming
Congressional elections.
