offs in the steel, rubber and auto

army of unemployed.
The masses still clinging to Jobs
have had their real earnings sharply
reduced through the dual process
OF N. R. A. codes and initiation. In
one year in Ohio, the general cost
OF living has gone up 80 per cent

have risen 81 per cent. The effects
OF this are further seen in the

Discrimination Against Negroes
The Negro people are discrimi-

these conditions by personalities.

The yardstick of support to polit-
ical parties in this election cam

ward, and their past deeds and pro-
posed solution today of the prob
lens of hunger, democratic rights,
war and fascism.
Just Promises
Politicians of boss parties will
promise everything before elections,
but after getting into office they
will vigorously oppose the basic de-
mands of the toilers; they will join
in authorizing the beating, gassing
and shooting of workers who fight
for these demands; they will faith
fully carry out the dictates of the
Wall Street bankers and the heads
of the big trusts who now COM
pletely dominate both the national
and state administrations.
The Democratic Party of Ohio,
regardless of which factions candi-
dates win in the primaries, are all
pledged to support and carry on
the Roosevelt New Deal" policies.
1t is clear that this program is not
in the interests of the toiling
masses. The banker Democrat
Governor White administration
who had striking coal miners mur-
dered in East Ohio in 1882, repeats
his attack by using the Ohio Ma
tional Guard against the striking
Electric Auto-Lite workers of To-
ledo-murdering two workers,
wounding scores, arresting hun
dreds and gassing thousands. 1t is
this same administration which is
responsible for further relief cuts;
trying to load another burden on

Four Planes Engaged in Mimic

SAN DIEGO, Calf. February az
The forced landing of four converted
land planes on rough sea and the
rescue of eight ofiicers aboard them
today supplied the only nishap in the
three-day mimic warfare of the United
States feet.
Caught In a fog so thick a return
to their ship was impossible. five of
the 800 aircraft participating in the
final phase of the maneuvers yester-
day were instructed to fly to San
Pedro. AS the density of the fog in
creased, four of the planes were
brought down on rough water 2S miles
at sea and 100 miles from their desti-
nation.
The pilot of the other plane. and his
fellow officer, chose to guess their way
home and flew blind" to the San
Pedro Naval Base. where they reported
the predicament of their companions.
The fleet. steaming toward San
Diego, swung around and Immediately
began a long search for the eight
aviators, whose lives were In danger
because of the light pontoons on their
converted land craft.
The battleship Texas found one of
the quartet drifting five miles from
the position where it had landed five
hours earlier An hour later destroy

N 7 ATOMS may step on each
n others toes and settle the
" matter with diplomatic bows,
i but when one nation steps
on another's pocketbook, they
wheel out the guns.
Even the political eruption in Aus
tria had hidden international fuses
rooted in commerce and trade.
On the surface the fighting ap-
pedred to be entirely political.
Fasctsts. Nazis, Socialists and
Catholics died for What their
orators believed to be great causes.
The blood of those patriots also can
be measured In the martS OF trade In
good old coin of the realm Of adjoin-
ing nations.
Hitler and ii Duce Clash.
Control of the Central European
markets and outlets to the sea were
two of the main underlying fuses.
Hitler wants them. So does Mussolini

AS one of the Hitler expressionists
put it:
IF we bide our time the Austrian
goose will come flying into our
mouths we'll cooked and seasoned"
So you may see DollfuSs soon offer
the first wing of the goose to Hitler
by permitting the NaZis TO have rep
resentation in his government
If Hitler gets his teeth on one wing
it will not be long before he gets to
the drumstick.
Cotton Bill to Pass.
Mr.. Roosevelt heard those rumors
about certain Southern Congressmen
weakening toward the Bankhead cot
ton compulsion bill.
That is why he suddenly made
ND his mind to demand action on
the legislation His statement
changed the whole outlook con-
cerning the bill.
Until then Congressman had half a
notion to let it die on the vine. They
saw the administration blowing hot
and cold on the measure. Now they
will have to put it through. because
Mr.. Roosevelt left no doubt that he
personally is hotly for it.
There have been some rumblings OF
complaint since he spoke. but his in
sistence means the bill probably will
be passed.
Market Bill Softened.
There are many indications that
the stock market regulation bill will
be softened meaSurably and enacted
by Congress before adjournment.
Chairman Fletcher OF the Senate
committee is beginning to say the
bill is not considered sacred, that
many protests have been received and
that there is no reason why the bill
should not be altered.
In the end you probably will get a
fairly good bill which will eliminate
the worst speculative forces and re-
suit in market protected for the
public along the lines of the London
exchange.
The administration has been quiet
ly looking into the possibilities of
starting a drive for a 32-hour week
under the N. r. A. codes.

If Hitler gets his hands on Austria
that nation and Czechoslovakia will
use the German ports of Bremen and
Hamburg.
Likewise there is a matter of italian
trade development throughout Central
Europe. Mussolini has been trying to
expand IL. He can dominate the Situa.
ton only as long as he can keep the
Nazis out of Austria
1t is no wonder that he sent two
italian divisions recently to the Austria
border.
Costly Dollfuss Victory.
Chancellor Dollfuss lost his fight
with the Socialists, even though his
guns came off triumphant. One more
victory like that and he is through
The Nazis were strengthened po-
litically. While their tDO hated dd.
uersories struggled in the streets,
they sat by and polished their
guns.
Whatever damage Dollfuss and the
Socialists did to each other left thai
much less for the Nazis to do wheI
they take on the winner.
Our shrewd ofiicial observers believe
the trouble has only started. Confiden.
TALLY, they think the Nazis are goint
to get control in Austria. sooner OF
later. and nothing can stop them.
The Nazis believe that also. That
is why they are playing such cagey
game.
