Letters from Our
Readers
FENNER BROCKWAY, BRITISH
MISLEADER, SPEAKS IN
STAMFORD

Stamford, Conn.
Editor of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
The recent article in the Daily
Worker by Conlrade Rust Of the Brit
ish Communist Party certainly had
the right dope.
Thursday, Dec. IA, Fenner Brock
way spoke in Stamford on the ques-
ton Must There Be Wars?" The
lecture was given under the aus
pices of the Stamford University
Club.
Brockway spent most Of his time
on the international armament trust,
going into great detail about their
Screenings and plottings for wars.
Only at the end Of his speech did
he -briefly-that the arna-
ment trusts alone were not respon-
sible for war, but that capitalism
was the basic cause of wars. At this
point he said, also very briefly, that
only by beginning to build socialism
could war be abolished.
His hypocrisy was shown in his at
titude towards the Soviet Union.
That was in the beginning of his
speech where, in answer to the Ques-
ton Must there be WARP" he de-
scribed the war preparations going
on throughout the world. He stated
that in Sheffield the munition work.
erS had gone on strike because there
was too much overtime He spoke of
the Skoda works going full blast. He
showed how busy other armament
plants were and then made the fol-
lowing statement which you would
expect any Socialist" leader to
make: Although it is difficult to
get accurate information, no doubt
the nationali2ed munition factories
Of Russia are going full blast, too"
1t is significant that his only ref
erence to the Soviet Union made it
appear that the Soviet Union was
no different from the imperialist ma
tons in preparing for war. The
fact that he himself said that Social
ism would abolish wars did not lead
him to say that the Soviet Union
was a force for peace. He made no
mention whatever of its peace pol
icy. He made very little mention of
the role OF the workers in stopping
war. He did say that the recent
British Trade Union Congress had
resolved that it would "vote for peace
if the king voted for war;" and that
this resolution was an indication of
the sentiment Of the working class.
He reminded his audience that the
British trade union leaders were not
radical and proved it by saying that
they considered Roosevelt the savior
of the working class with his MIRA.
When one of our comrades asked
him from the floor, after his speech,
If the T. U. leaders were so ignorant
that they did not know the Roose-
velt administration was making in
tense plans for war and had already
spent $1,000,000,000 for war, Brock
way answered that this feature of
the N. r. A. had not shown itself at
the time of the British T. U. Con-
gress. AS our comrade had also
mentioned the U. S. Congress Against
War, Brockway added that he had
more faith in such organizations than
in the T. U. leaders of Britain. How
ever, he made no mention of the
program OF the American League
for Struggle Against War and Fas-
cisn1.
Comradely yours,

DETROIT, Mich.-King Henry I of
Dearborn. Michigan, has come out
with his 1884 model and in New York
he has the Century Of Progress, a
two million dollar show. 1 should
know something about this great king
of industry. I worked there, I live in
Dearborn, ran for mayor of Dear
born against Henry's cousin Clyde
Ford.
With all the mistakes made in the
election, the workers polled over 1000
votes against Ford's 1900, and the
result of this victory has caused the
big boy lot of worry and he has
organized the Knights of Dearborn to
drive out Communism from Dear
born. But the workers of Dearborn
have seen the light of day in the re-
suits of the election and they will
have plenty to say concerning the
handed out in Dearborn.
The wheels are grinding out the
new model, and at what a price to
the worker! Let's look inside the shop
in Dearborn and not at the two mil
lion dollar show now going on in
New York. We used to get 6-7-8 dol
lars per day, now we get 81 and the
speed-up is so great that three
months is about all man can stand.
What is the result?

MARCHING TOO FAST FOR
TIRED WORKERS

Dear Comrade Editor:
Please print my letter Of criti-
cism in the Daily Worker in the
hope that it will be considered
by those comrades that were lead
ing the march from Battery Place
to Union Square.
They were rushing so much,
that it were impossible to keep
up with them. Many comrades
with weak feet dropped out of
the march. In my opinion it was
a run instead of a march.
would like to advise these COM
rades who lead these marches in
the future to think of those under
nourished (starved) workers who
are too weak to run instead of
march, and the results gained will
be much higher.

C.W.A. Chain Gang
Kept Digging Holes
And Filling Them

DETROIT, Mich. - Many thou
sands Of workers, Negro and white,
have been cut off the relief lists in
Detroit. A few thousands are work
ing out at the Detroit Geological
Park in Royal Oak, a distance of IL
miles from Detroit, on two differe'
shifts of four days each. The car
fare costs 26 cents day, or S1.04 a
week.
We must buy our own coal, milk,
groceries and rent, lights and gas;
etc, from this measly SIS a week.
The cost of milk is up 20 per cent
since last year, bread costs from 40
to so per cent more than a year ago,
and other groceries have risen in
proportion. The SIS we workers
receive is cheaper by about 40 per
cent.
Workers, doesn't this show the face
of the dirty deal we are getting?
Ford says that money is only a
tool by which to do things. Well, the
workers in his plant are also tools
for exploitation and profits. Many
of his laid-off men are working on
the Michigan chain gang now. Men
of all walks of life, youth and aged,
Negro and white, are forced into a
form of labor at the Detroit Zoologi-
cal Park that looks like a prison or
insane asylum.

until five years ago. Then I was
placed on the roll for Sl2 per month
and only after trying for several
years, and being blind and practically

then to $50, and finally to $40 per

Now am trying TO get back on

We are for the repeal of the Ma

placed ON or IN full force as it was
prior to March, 20, 1888. I person
ally certainly do not approve of the
9. G. c. or the N. R. A. or any Of
the rest Of Rooseyelt's program. 1
have claimed all along that Roose-
welt would have more trouble on his
hands at the end Of one year than
he cared for when he first started
out his program, as l told all of my
friends that only the rich would
benefit by it and not the workers,
and that the workers conditions
would even be worsened.
still claim that his whole plan
is a failure, except for the rich.
Roosevelt knows that well enough.
He thought that he could denoralize
the workers to such an extent that
they could not or would not have the
courage or sand to make trouble.
But I was glad to learn that the
workers are beginning to find out
the only way to obtain justice and
are organizing towards that end.
In the last elections there were z6
votes cast in this little town or camp,
and 1 believe there were only two
Communist votes. Now I feel Ger
tain that there will be 9 or possibly
II in the next elections for the Com
munist Party. 1 hope for more, and
