truthfully. The questions follow, in five groups.
An affirmative answer is q good answer. Each
"yes" in the first group gives you points,

of strikebreaker. He asserted that

In all his pre- election ballyhoo
for Roosevelt, Raymond Moley, the
propaganda specialist for the New
Deal" in his magazine To-day"
strives to conceal the capitalist class
character of the Roosevelt program.
In the steel industry, for ex-
ample, Moley cites the following
profits as proof of the success" of
the New Deal:
A net profit of $1,000, 900 for
the first six months of this year.
contrasted with deficit of
S52,000,000 for the first six months
of 1888.
Here then is an enormous in
crease in profit within twelve
months during which the Roosevelt
N.R.A. program was in operation.
Surely, the Roosevelt New Deal
was successful for the big Wall
Street steel monopolies.
But it is precisely this tremendous
increase in profits for the employers
that makes the Roosevelt New Deal
curse and an intensified yoke of
exploitation for the workers.
The success of the Roosevelt
New Deal in increasing profits has
also been a success" in driving
down the real wages of the work
ers

ers and bondholders were reaping
new profits this is what was hap

ers to buy food, clothing. pay rent,
ETC., dropped by one third during
this short period Of New Deal
blessings!
But how did the Steel Trust
make such huge profits when pro-
auction was declining?
The answer is again found in the
class character of the Roosevelt pro
gram.
The answer is to be found in the
following remarkable data compiled
in the Steel and Metal Notes OF
the Ira. for August:
Thanks to the speed-up. the
steel companies are able under
the code to pay extremely low
wages despite slight increases in
hourly rates. per ton of steel
