satisfaction in the most powerful

unconditional welc ON to the
changes in the leadership of Ger

"a relaxation of the authoritative
methods hitherto employed" and

with the failure of the agitation

For Strike Preparations
in Textile

THE conditions of the textile workers
1 under the NR.A. have become unbear-
able. In the wooden, worsted, silk and
cotton textile industry the workers are
clamoring for a general strike. Only the
treachery of the leaders of the United
Textile Workers Union has so far pre-
vented a strike against the unbearable speedup, for
higher wages and union recognition.
The national officials Of the United Textile
workers, led by Thos. MacNIahon, president, and
Francis German, vice president, and in silk, Eli
Keller, the Lovestonete, have tricked and fooled
the textile workers MacNIahon early in May set
q date for general strike of 100000 cotton tex
tile workers He then, at the last moment signed
an agreement with the NRA which gave up all
of the cotton textile workers demands and called
of the strike. He did the thing on July
in the wooden and worsted industry. Eli Keller is
now cooperating with the silk mill owners and the
NRA. to reduce wages and prevent strikes through
~arbitration" in the silk mills.
At the national convention Of the U.T.w. which
will take place August 10 in New York City, new
attempt to prevent general strike will undoubted
ly be made. An appeal has been sent out by Mac
Mahon to all locals to abstain from all strikes
until after this convention.
The textile workers must at once take steps to
prevent the leadership of the United Textile Union
from again defeating their demands
Even if the strike is formally declared by the
convention, NacNahon has no intention Of or
ganzing real struggle. To date he has made no
strike preparations whatever.
The organization of the strike by the rank and
file textile workers themselves is therefore inn
mediate task.
In every mill, the textile workers should at once
organize united front committees representing all
the workers in the mill, whether IN the National
Textile Workers Union, the UTW. or whether I'M
organized
The united front mill committees elected by all
the workers should take the strike preparations and
strike leadership into their own hands.
1t is the task of the Communists in the textile
industry to take the initiative and at organize
this united strike front inside the mills.
Inside the United Textile Workers Union all
those willing to fight for their demands should at
once organize their militant opposition groups to
guard against sellouts by the U.T.W. leaders.
The strike must be organized on the basis of
the broadcast united front committees, elected by
the workers themselves having full control OF the
strike and of all negotiations and settlements with
no settlement without vote of all the workers
united strike action of the rank and file and
elimination of the srikebreaking leaders is the way
to victory.

Communist Party
THE rapid development of the strike
movement has brought a strengthen
ing of the Communist Party in Milwaukee.
Now the Communist Party, the leadership
of which has known how to make gains in
building the Party in the struggles in
Milwaukee, is about to launch new Com
munist weekly paper-the Wisconsin Voice of Labor
The Central Committee of the Communist Party
is keenly Of the immense significance of this
new advance of the revolutionary cause and this
strengthening of the power of the working class In
its fight for its immediate interests in Milwaukee
The heavy attacks against the workers in this coun-
try have been none the less effective in that city
because of the presence of so-caled socialist"
administration Dan Hoan is the favorite stage
property of the Socialist Party as the Socialist
Mayor and is also member of the Socialist Party
National Executive Committee where with Norman
Thomas he shared leadership of the LEFT" the
Revolutionary" wing CID of its leadership. Now
he is being quickly transformed in the eyes of thou
sands Of workers, by the sharp development of the
recent class struggle into plain capitalist agent
Of violence against the working class.
Ever sharper and clearer is the question opened
up before the working class in Milwaukee, in
Minneapolis and all the way to San Francisco:
Instead Of "Farmer-Labor' Olsons, Socialist"
Hoans, Trotskyist renegades and the classic Cali
forna "labor-leader" hangmen of Tom Mooney
all of whom in the final test boil down to mixture
Of tear gas and arbitration-what if we had the
Reds the Communists in the leadership of these
struggles?" More readily it becomes visible that
this means the workers own class leadership of
their struggles.
And nowhere is this more true than in Mil
waukee, the traditional center of the old she'll
game by which bankers and open-shop manufac-
turers rule, exploit and starve the working class
through "corrade" officials, always controlled in
the final test by capitalist interests, and officially
endorsed now and then by business"
Awakening to the swindle of Nilwaukees be-
trayal of the working class is of the prime
necessities Of the class struggle today. And an
awakening in Milwaukee will mean more than in

BERLIN, Aug. 8.-Work of the
Communist Party among the Storm
Troopers is bearing fruit.
In West Wedding, district in
Berlin, Storm Troopers openly dis
tributed about 200 copies of the
Communist Party leaflet called
Storm Trooper-What Now?"
More than 10000 leaflets issued
by the Communist Party have found
their way into the ranks of the
Storm Troopers, the Fascist armed
regiments.
Unrest and dissatisfaction with
Hitler continues to grow to such a
degree that the Nazi officials have
just issued an order establishing a
special status for the Guard Troops
of the Storm Troopers in order that
the growing RIGHTEOUSNESS be re-
stricted.

Italian Fascist Party
Splits, Paris Hears

PARIS, Aug. 8. = Party battles
within the Italian Fascist fold were
revealed here yesterday by the
Journal des Debats which explained
the expulsion of former Minister of
the Interior Leandro Arpinati as
due to a fist fight he staged with
Achille Starace, General Secretary
of the Fascist Party.
Arpinati was sent to the Lipari
Islands for five years, and 20 of
his followers were expelled from the
party and probably face criminal
charges.
Arpinati was considered very
close to Mussolini before his resig-
nation as Minister of the Interior
few months ago.

The expenditure of the five leading naval
powers in the first decade of the World War is
seen to be over 17,000,000OO0 gold marks higher
than in the last decade before the World War;
Since, also, Germany during this time expended
1,500,000,000 gold marks naval ornaments and
since numerous subsidiary and colonial fleets have
come into being, it can be said that up to the end
of 1882, some 4o,O0oo0o0O0 gold marks had been
expended If the naval conference for prolonging
the Washington Treaty is convened in 1885, the
total balance of naval expenditure for the post
war period up to then may be given at the hand
some sum of 59,OOo00O0oO gold marks

America who are unemployed. We
should remember that nine-tenths oi
our wage earners arc today gam
fully employed and that by far the
vast majority of them have had con-
/ tinuous employment all through the
past depression years. In respect to
the debt which they owe, this vast
group is better off today in general
than they were in 1923 or 1929.
Many financial obligations which
they incurred in those years have
since been liquidated. The present
economic outlook today is certainly
fair enough to warrant any one If
them making reasonable eXpendi-
lures to improve their living ICndi
tiOns. especially when they thereby
increase the casa value OF their
property.
This does not mean that every
home owner and every wage Garner
in America should Immediately
plunge himself into debt. That
which can result from such fool
hardy process has been only too
grimly illustrated to us by the eX-
perience of the past few years. On
the other hand, we must remember
that the other face of a debt is
credit and that. to a large extent,
our economic system functions on
credit. If we let a past sad expert
ence induce us never to incur Obli-
cations again. we will draw from
our system its very life blood.
We might just as well be sane
about the entire problem. We might
just as well recognize that there are
good debts and bad debts; that good
debts form the credit which enables
us to function, while bad dents I'M
sOundly stimulate credit in man
ner which makes an ultimate sad
accounting inevitable. What is a !
good debt, and what is bad debt?
The property owner deserves to
know. You will be violating the line |
principles with which you set forth |

him to incur bad debts. You can |

out of his current income on an in

wife, there is certainly no inherent
rule of nature which makes ii un-
wise or inadvisable for him to Sc
cure those benefits for her now and
enjoy them while they are being
1 paid for. Two things only must be
watched, and those who are adyis-
/ ing him must be vigilant to see that
he does not neglect them. He must
not contract to pay for an improve
ment over a period of years which
will exceed the term of the utility
value of the improvement to him.
His debt becomes a bad debt If its
terms are such as to leave him max
ing payments long after the useful
ness of the thing he purchased has
ceased. He must not incur an obli-
CATION which will absorb more than
a reasonable proportion of his fu-
ture income. So much of each of his
pay checks is needed for food and
current living expenses. So much
must he keep in reserve 20 cover
that unusual or rainy day expense
which he cannot now fOresee. So
much should be set aside for the
future education of his children. So
much must he have free to make
other purchases in the future to i'm
prove his standard of living. All of
these things are part of his family
budget and by sound budgeting. he
places himself on a sound financial
basis. Only that share of the budget
should be used for home improve
ments which can properly be allo-
Gated for such purpose. This does
not necessarily mean that he should
not curtail to some extent those of
his present expenditures which in
the long run will not give him the |
lasting satisfaction to be- secured |
from surroundings more favorable /
to his home life. but rather that he /
must make a sound choice between II (
the passing desire and the lasting /
good.

owners and workers along these
lines. you will be renderina a ful

NEW FEDERAL PRISON

the swirling currents of the bay it
