IN THE very day the United Textile
" Workers Convention voted for strike,
William Green issued his scathing, fascist
attack on Communists and militants in
the trade unions Now, with around
100000 textile workers entering the
battle for better conditions, Green's ap-
peal for deportation Of foreign born workers is
bearing strikebreakng fruit.
Every mill owner, every armed thug, every enemy
Of the workers, every force working for the defeat
of the textile strike has taken up Green's and
Gormans red-baiting cry, especially the attack on
foreign born workers.
Textile workers will remember that in the great
textile strike of 1912 it was precisely by their
attack on the foreign born workers that the bosses
sought to smash the united ranks Of the strikers
and break the strike.
Saturday the Boston American in huge head
lines declared: ~. S, in move to deport alien
agitators" It further stated; Secret agents of
the immigration Service were dispatched to every
mill center with orders to ferret out alien agitators
These agents were given orders to make arrests
and start deportation proceedings at the first sign
Of trouble"
In short at the behest of the bosses and Will
liam Green, the Roosevelt government has already
sent secret strikebreaking agents into the field
Through deportation threats they hope to work for
division of the workers ranks.
These terroristic anti-labor methods must be
smashed right now! Everyone seeking to divide
the foreign born workers from their native born
brothers is a strikebreaker helping the bosses at
this critical period.
Defeat the strikebreaking deportation efforts!
Maintain the unity of the ranks! 1t is clear now
that one of the important factors in winning the
demands of the strike is to beat back every terror
stic effort to deport militant foreign-born workers

The Cost of Living

MILLIONS of workers families, includ-
WI ing the textile workers now on strike,
are being choked by the now notorious
Roosevelt-NR policy of raising prices.
The latest report of the Department
of Labor reveals that Roosevelt has
lacked up daily food prices more than %
per cent since last April when he took ONCE
Food prices are at three-year record peak.
Before Roosevelt took Office food for an average
family cost about SIS week, according to official
government figures
After IL months of Roosevelt's policies work
er's family had to shell out $3.50 for the
amount of food
To-day after year of the N.R.A the worker
has to shell out almost $50 for the same amount
of food the highest amount in the past three years
And the latest predictions of the Government
A.A.A Consumers Research admit that by the
Winter months the amount may rise to close to
S26 per family for a minimum food budget con-
sistent with health!
Coupled with soaring clothing prices, rising
rents, and generally increased COSTS this means
that the American working class is being attacked
by Roosevelt, not only directly through open wage
cuts but obquely through the rising costs of living
This special Roosevelt technique of attacking
the working class through rising prices has actually
effected in the last IL months Is per cent invisible
slash in the pay envelope of every worker in the
country.
The American working class is swiftly coming
to see that in Roosevelt they face an enemy who
attacks them not only through the direct method
of open wage cuts, but even more dangerously
through the method Of indirect wage sashes through
rising prices

The Fight for the Saar

TUHILE Hitler recently, at the Coblenz
" demonstration, beloved about win
ming the Saar for fascist Germany, he has
been organizing his armed forces to bring
the Saar Valley under the fascist iron
heel by force and bloodshed.
The League of Nations Commission in
the saar now reveals that Hitler has built up
force of 900 men trained by Nszi military experts
Hitler has spent 100000 to arm and prepare these
forces
The Nazi butchers are playing desperate game
in connection with the Saar pebiscite, set for
January 49, Every fascist agency the world over
is being brought into action to force annexation
of the Saar in order to give fascism new source
of plunder and strength
The fight against annexation of the Saar to
fascist Germany now becomes the front line trench
in the fight against Hitler defeat for Hitler in
the Saar will be mighty blow to fascism and help
tremendously in bringing on the proetarian revo-
luton in Germany and the ultimate joining of
revolutionary Saar with Soviet Germany.
The Communist Party of the Saar for this reason
is urging all Saarlanders to vote for the status quo
and against annexation with either Germany or
France.
Hitler, fearful of the plebscite results is leaving
no stone unturned to seize the Saar by trickery
threats or ultimately by armed force Nazi Con-
suates in the U. s. paying former Saar residents
to return and vote for Hitler. The campaign on
the Saar has become an important issue in the
United States in the fight fascism
Workers organizations here should send resolu-
tions and greetings to the Saar workers, urging
them to vote for the status quo and against fascsm
All former residents of the Saar, against the bloody
rule Of Hitler should write to all their friends
and relatives in the Sasr urging them to vote
against annexation with the Hitler butcher regime

workers government. When the majority of the
American working class has convinced itself of the
correctness of the Communists views when the
middle class can no other way out but the one
which we Communists advocate, then the American
working class will seize power whether the A. F.
of L. bureaucrats or the bosses like it or not.
But this is not the problem at the present
moment. We know that the majority of the Amer
ican workers do not as yet see the need for Com
munism, although are trying, and will continue
to try to convince them by agitation and prop
aganda and by explaining to them the lessons of
their own bitter strike experiences of the correct
ness of our views. But we Communists do not play
with insurrection with revolution as the reactonary
A. F. of L. officials the Hearst press and the bosses
would try to make you believe
The problem we have to deal with now is the
victory of the strike, the winning of the textile
workers demands. On this probem-the problem
strike and picket all workers Communists, Social
lists, A. F. of L. workers can and must unite Only
through such unity can the textile strike be won
The Communist Party calls upon all workers
to unite for the victory of the strike Reject all
efforts from whatever source to divide your ranks
Be on guard against provocation Reject the in
lection of the Red scare" Stand solid for victory
If Mr.. German wishes to stand on this program
"a victory program program of no compromise
Of no arbitration, with a settlement of the strike
only when the workers demands are granted then
he does not have to fear the Communists
But the Communists and all militant workers
will fight tooth and nail against any abandonment
Of this program because that would mean the
betrayal of the strike

Relief to Strikers

MASSACHUSETTS relief director, Ber-
lV1 nard F. McElligot yesterday stated
that no textile strikers in that State
would receive relief. "The budget" Nc
Elligot added, SIS all ready and out, and
there are no extra funds for strikers
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief ad-
ministrator, has declared that the relief admin
istratlon would grant the strikers relief pending
the decisions of the N. R. A, Boards that the
textile strike is not justified"
In phrases Hopkins is for relief yet in prac-
tice the strkebreaking role of the Roosevelt re-
lief administration is clearly shown in the Mass
achusetts decision. similar policy will be adopted
everywhere unless the strikers are on their guard
The National Unemployment Council in ac-
cordance with its fixed policy of supporting all the
struggles of the employed workers has called upon
its affiliated organizations to rally in support of
the textile strike. That the obless will be on the
picket lines together with the strikers is assured
as the heroic struggles in Toledo in Minneapolis,
in San Francisco and in countless other strikes
bear witness
Joint actions between the textile workers and
the unemployed i all textile centers, Joint
mittees at the 4" stations, and joint mass dem
onstrations will defeat the plans OF the federal
relief administration to deny them relief and starve
the strikers into going back to work.

Jones and Padmore Seek
To Share in Plundering
African Masses
BY HARRY HAYWOOD
Part Ill

What do Mr.. Jones and the
group he represents expect to get
out of their noble and humane"
efforts? The plan, in fact, includes
proposal for an alliance between
the Liberian government and Ne
gro middle-class groups in the U. S.
for the establishment of business
partnership between them, for the
joint promotion of business enter
prises and interests in Liberia and
in the United States. In other
words, the Liberian governing
classes agree to let its American
Negro class brothers in on part Of
the spoils accruing from the plum
der of the Liberian masses. This
is the secret of Mr.. Jones interest
in Liberia, of his concern" for the
Liberian people.
The prospectus calls for the or
ganization Of a "Liberian- American
Trading Company" Mr.. Jones as
Sures us that the "Liberian govern
ment will cooperate with such a
company in establishing banking
and insurance business and agencies
in both countries which would
promote trade between the two
countries" This is the juicy morsel
which President Barclay extends as
bait to the American Negro middle
class for its support in his reac-
tionary dealings.
Negro Middle Glass in Despair
This fully comedies with the
cherished ideals of the Negro
middle-claSs leaders, for industrial
expansion. The American Negro
middle classes, driven to despair,
their economic basis in the Jim
Grow districts shattered by the
ravages of the crisis and the ruth
less encroachments of the American
white ruling class, are seeking an
escape from their plight
But the only way out for the
masses of Negro petty bourgeois in
this country-the shopkeepers, the
professionals, the intellectuals =
ruined by the crisis and sharpen
ing imperialist oppression, is the
path Of revolutionary struggle in
alliance with the black and white
workers, and under their leader
ship. The only way out is in un-
compromising fight against the i'm
perialist ruling class, for the land
and right of self determination in
the Black Belt, and for complete
social and economic equali ty
throughout the country.
This is the path advocated by the
Communist Party and the revolu-
tionary organizations. And increas-
ingly large sections of the Negro
petty -bourgeoiSie are coming to see
that is the only way out for them
and are joining in the revolutionary
struggle.
But still other sections of the
petty -bourgeoisie, loath to accept
this inevitable road still tied to the
strings of capital, reconciled to
jim -Crowism and even seeking to
benefit from it-these still hope
against hope for an easier way out,
way more compatible with their
petty bourgeois ideals" The e.
falling under the leadership of
petty bourgeois Utopians of the
type of Mr.. Jones and other pro-
ponents of -to-Africa, turn
in desperation to Africa as a way
to the fulfillment of their hopeless
but g-cherished desires for in
! dustrial expansion, their dream OF
becoming a full-fledged industria,
bourgeois, of coming into their
own"
This is the path of Mr.. Jones

introduction to the show, being very
freshly painted and excellent in COM
position and color. Edith Hoyt's
Saint Urbain," a little church with
upward pointing spire, set on hill
top in Canada, is distinctly outstand-
ing in effect and simplicity of render
ing. "Zinnias," rather elaborate still
life by Elizabeth Sawtelle, is a fine
piece of painting, rich in tone as
well as color, interesting in de-
sign. Rock Creek in Spring." by
Lucia B. Hollerith, and Shade, :"
by Clara r. Saunders, have been
hung as pendants to a Portrait"
by Duane Crawford, and they admir-
ably complement one another through
delicacy of color scheme and sublety
of rendering. Charming, indeed, and
very skillfully rendered is picture of
a village street seen in the dramatic
light of an approaching storm, the
work of Gladys Nelson Smith, very
unusual achievement Margaret C..
Mum is admirably represented by
painting of hill town, "Rochefort-on-
Terre," set forth with the directness
of a poster, but with excellent use of
the third dimension and atmospheric
effect. Alice l.. L. Ferguson's Crest
of the Range" seen at the Art League
earlier in the season, confirms here the
favor found on first sight, on account
of its fine color and elemental big
ness. Noteworthy among the figure
paintings shown is a portrait study Of
a young woman, Study in Gray and
Green" by Hans Schlereth, broadly
and sympathetically rendered. Finally,

a painting by the president of the
club. Charles Bittinger, of the Blue
Room at the White House," lends dis
tinction.
Among the water colors to be seen
in the drawing room is a large por-
trait study, JEAN" in red. which,
with a holly wreath on either side,
has beeh given the place of honor
over the mantel. Here, too, is a
spirited little painting of wash day in
the country, Monday" with the
freshly washed clothes Tapping gayly
in brisk breeze, for which the credit
goes to Frances Wheeler. Yachtsmen
and lovers of the sea and boats will
relish two little paintings in gouache
by Eleanore Parke Gusts entitled, re-
spectively, Sailing Weather" and
After the Races" full Of salt air and
breezy motion-delightful. Rain in
a Bavarian Mountain Town." by
Susan B. Chase, is quite out of the
ordinary and very good; as are works
by Pearl Potter Etz, Harry F. Camp
bell and Edith Mccartney.
Kathleen Wheeler and Clara Hill
are the only sculptors represented,
the former by three, the latter by
two works. In interesting contrast
are Kathleen Wheeler'S ifesize bust
of Clarence Darrow and her little
statuette in colored clay of Robert
E. Lee on Traveller" The latter is
very sympathetically modelled but
whether it would be possible to rem
der a subject of such fame and dig
nifty in this rather trivial material
is a question. Miss Hill Is well rep

dtions. Now England is the largest
and almost the only large interna-
tional buyer.
In france Is is continually being
said that English prices are beginning
to mount. As for me, have not been
able to perceive it in any way. All
prices up to this moment have re-
manned extraordinarily stable. This
accounts for the British conviction
that it Is not the pound which has
fallen, but gold which has mounted.
Now, in international commerce, much
more business is done with the pound
sterling than with gold. England, with
the group of countries using the
pound sterling, therefore has the i'm
preston Of living in an autonomous
world which makes its own laws, its
own money and its own prices.
The pound can therefore decline in
relation to the dollar because England
is obliged to buy dollars In order to
pay for her imports, or In relation to
the franc, because international specu-
lation faces eventually an even more
accentuated decline OF sterling In re.

lation to gold. But all this, say the
English, is of no importance.
The main thing Is whether this
reasoning Is sound. In a period Of
falling prices all over the world the
pound easily conserves its purchasing
power. Will it be the same in a period
when world prices are rising, when
the seller will not be, as he Is at pres
ent, at the mercy Of the buyer? Eng
land would then for the first time
realize that her money Is actually
deprecated.
1t is. therefore, too soon to pass a
final judgment by saying that 1t Is
possible to depreciate a currency 20
per cent without the possessors Of this
money realizing 1t at all.
