Anti Soviet Campaign

Especial to the Daily Worker)

MOSCOW, March 80 (By
Radio In connection with
the recently intensified anti
Soviet campaign of the French
press, the Soviet newspapers
publish the following official state
ment issued through Tass, the Off
cial Soviet news agency:
with reference to statements APP
pearing in the French press alleging
that group of persons of various
nationalities were arrested in Paris
and charged with spying on behalf
Of the USSR., Tass is authorized to
state most categorically that these
reports are absolutely unfounded,
and are a slanderous fiction"
The newspapers of Europe and
America have carried many &C
counts inspired by the French gov
eminent in connection with the ar
rest OF an international espionage
ring" including certain Americans.
Some of these accounts alleged,
chiefly by inference, that the Soviet
Union prof1ted in some way from
the alleged espionage, although no
definite statement to this effect has
been attempted.

Pauper Basis Is New
Hopkins Relief Scheme
for Fired Men
1920 CUT IN RELIEF
''W ork Relief" on "a
Hr. Maximum and 30c.
an Hour Wages

NEW YORK, March 80. -
The Roosevelt government
liquidates the C. w. A. today,
with hundreds of thousands
of C.W.A. workers fired thru
out the country, perhaps more than
a million, and the remainder Of the
C.WA. men moved to work relief"
rolls at drastically reduced wages.
This was the substance of a state
ment issued here by Federal Relief
Director Hopkins in Washington,
D. G. today. 1--WE have demobilized
the C.WA" Hopkins boosted.
Hopkins, in announcing that two
million CWA. workers will be re-
moved to work relief" rolls, admit
ted thereby that 1000 900 have been
fired in the past few weeks. The
figure of two million still on work
relief is arrived at by computing the
four million which Hopkins had
claimed worked a few weeks ago
on C.WA. rolls Can exaggerated
f1gure) and taking from this the
nearly two million who have been
fired since liquidation of the C.W.A.
was announced by Roosevelt on Feb.
%. But all of these two million
men now on C.W.A. will not by any
means be given work relief" jobs.
Hopkins said "a majority" will be
given such jobs, but he did not set
figures on the drastic firing.
The extent of the firing which
takes place Saturday, March =. CT
be seen when it is considered th7t
in Chicago alone 1923, 900 were SCI
uled to be fired, in New York 5000
and in New Jersey $4,000. From
every city and rural community in
the country come reports Of whole
sale firing Of C.W.A. workers. Hop
kins admitted that the Roosevelt
government is receiving floods of
protests against the CW.A. firing.
The extent of the cuts in relief
which go into effect today at Roose-
velt's order are revealed in Hopkins
announcement that at the peak
Of the C.W.A. the Roosevelt govern
ment was spending s7O,0o0,O0O
week for C.W.A. and the plan going
into effect today calls for expen-
diture Of only S15,000,000 and 500
100000 a week. This is a reduction
of nearly seventy per cent in the
amount of work relief from the
federal government.
