Big Trusts Move To Hire
Butler In S'Oeeping Program
For Fascist GOoernment
Morgan Lawyer Was To
Write Speeches In
Fascist Set-Up
By David Ramsey

Who are the forces behind the
plot revealed by Major General
Smedley Butler for the organization
and arming Of a fascist army in
the United States. Investigation by
the Daily Worker shows that the
same powerful individuals, bankers,
capitalist politicians, munitions
makers, behind the 100000 fund
for the fascist army are with and
an integral interlocked part of the
Roosevelt administration In fact,
they occupy key positions in the
N. R. A. and the whole New Deal
set-up. They are the ones, together
with Roosevelt, who since the New
Deal have been the spearhead in mo
nopoly capitalism's drive toward the
naked dictatorship of big business.
General Butler tells of the indi-
viduals with whom he was in con-
tact in connection with the scheme
to finance a fascist army Of over
100000 men. He mentions John w.
Davis as a leading figure. Now Da-
Wis is the personal representative of
-. P. Morgan g. Co. He also was
heavy contributor to Roosevelt's
campaign chest in 1882, and he is a
leading Democrat. Davis, according
to Butler, was to write his fascist
speeches.
The du Pont family is mentioned
by Butler as the ones who were to
order the Remington Arms Co.,
which they control, to furnish arms
to the storm troops. One Of the du
Points used to head the National
Industrial Recovery Board, and was
very closely connected with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Roosevelt Chose du Points
From the outset of his admin
stration, Roosevelt deliberately
chose the du Points and others of
his kind who are speeding towards
fascism. Roosevelt appointed such
Rockefeller men as Walter Teagle
of the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey, who, through a Rookie
Teller agent, received heavy stock
favors from Morgan.
The Morgan-du Pont dynasty,
which had so large a part in con-
cocting the plan for a fascist army,
and tried to get Butler to head it,
has powerful representatives in all
the key positions of the Roosevelt
government apparatus.
For example, E. R. Stettinius, an
official of the Morgan-controlled
U. s. Steel Corporation, and the son
of a deceased. Morgan partner, is
one of the most recent appointees
to the N. r. A. Administration, and
is looked upon to play dominant
role there. Here he carries out the
| fascist aims which coincide with the
movement for the creation of the
armed troops.
Another key figure in the MIRA.
set-up is w. Averill Hartman,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Union Pacific Railroad; a
member of the board of directors of
the Guaranty Trust Co., an i'm
portant Morgan bank. Hartman is
the driving force in the N. r. A.

Monopoly capitalism. driving for
ward toward open, ruthless fascism
in the United States, is making &C
tive preparations for the day when
the dema gogy of the Roosevelt re-
gime will no longer be able to hold
the masses in check. and is groom-
ing potential dictators to assume
the job here that Hitler accom-
plished in Germany.
This development was revealed
yesterday by the clustering retired
Maior General of the United States
Marine Corps, Smedley D. Butler,
who told of proposals that had
come to him from leading Wall
Street capitalists to organize a Fas-
cist Army in the United States.
Planned by Wall Street Men
Butler told his story before the
Congressional Committee on I'M
American Activities at the Bar AS
ISOLATION building, AZ West 44th
st. He said that he was offered
s3000,OOO by Wall Street capitalists
if he would undertake the job.
Negotiations with Butler were
carried on through Gerald P. Mac
CURE, associated with the power
ful firm of Grayson Mp. Murphy
g. Co, 50 Broadway, as we'll as
Robert Sterling Clark, broker
with offices at II Wall Street, and

MacGuire declared that: 1--WE
need a Fascist government in this
country to save the nation from
the Communists, who would tear
down all that has been built UP in
America. The only men who have
the patriotism to do it are the
soldiers" He felt that Gen.
Smedley Butler was the ideal
leader" and that he could organ
ize a million men over night"
Conspicuous in the program sug-
gested by the Wall Street capital
lists, through MacGuire, was the
proposal to put Gen. Butler in
charge of the c. C. c. camps as a
basis Of organization for the con-
templated Fascist army.
Barracks for JobIess
Another sinister proposal calls for
placing the unemployed of the
United States into military barracks
under forced labor. MacGuire
argued that if it is done lin the
Hitler manner, we would soon solve
the problem"
Another step in the Fascist pro-
gram calls for the registration Of
the entire population of the United
States. That would stop lot of
Communist agitators wandering
around loose" MacGuire declared.
MacGuire Is Monopolist
MacGuire's firm, the Grayson NJ
P. Murphy Co., is one of the MOST
powerful Of the Wall Street groups.
Murphy is a director Of some Of
the biggest corporations in the
country, including the Bethlehem

the policies and apparatus of the Roosevelt regime
to set up open dictatorship of the Hitler or
MuSsoini type which will destroy all pretense at
democracy, and continue the bloody, vicious attack
against the workers carried on by the Roosevelt
regime in order to save the decaying and corrupt
capitalist system.
Butler merely supplied us with some interesting
details of the technique in the United States of
the bankers favoring the rapid creation of the
armed bands of fascism. The problem placed be-
fore them was made very plain. 1t was to save
capitalism by the institution of dictatorship when
the Roosevelt measures had prepared the way, and
had openly failed to solve the crisis with the first
attack against the Communist Party and all other
militant organizations fighting against the rotten,
decaying capitalist system.

Chicago bankers involved in the plans for
the organization of the fascist army. Some of the
largest corporations in the United States ready

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20
The threadbare demagogy of pro-
Tossing readiness to enforce" the
collective bargaining promise of the
MIRA. was pulled out of the hat
again today by Francis Biddle, cor
poration lawyer and member of the
blueblood family dominating J. P.
Morgans Philadelphia affiliate, re
Gently appointed chairman of the
National Labor Relations Board by
President Roosevelt.
Biddle, whose selection brought
immediate formal protest by the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor

President Green of the A. F. of L.,
told the press today that the ma
jority-rule Houde decision "is law,
and in my opinion will be sus-
tanned" The Department of Jus

back up the Houde decision.
AS if to emphasize the hollow
ness of Biddle's declaration, two
other developments occurred at the

VaIor Of Red Guards in Asturias
Stands As Guiding Light to Masses
In Struggle for Power in Spain
L adm g Role of the
Communists, Treachery
Of Trotzkyites Cited

NppNNAal " buG Odhy WOFAeTJ
MhDRID.-The news appearing
in the foreign capitalist press about
the recent armed struggles in Spain
is, for the most part, twisted and
misleading. The barrage of mean
and stupid lies about the action of
the Red Guards laid down by the
fascist government are not even be-
lieved here.
For the first time, one of the
INST important provinces in Spain,
Asturias, has had a Soviet gov
eminent. The victory" of the re-
action has brought no Joy to the
shaken landlord bourgeoisie. The
Spanish proletariat is not pervaded
by the spirit of defeat, but is de-
termined to carry on and continue
the offensive in the next attack,
learning the lessons of the treach-
cry and betrayal of the Anarcho-
Syndicalist leaders.
The censorship and state of war
are still in full force as this is writ
ten. The official news releases are
carefully doctored by the general
staff before they are handed out.
The atrocity series, however, are now
being soft-pedaled. Lack of expert
ence and poor organization gave re-
suits so contradictory that they de-
feated their own ends.
LOoting Is Protested
AS connections are slowly resumed
with North Spain, Asturias business
men want to know if the govern
ment. is going to pay the damages
in Oviedo, which was completely de-
stroyed by government artillery and
bombing planes and not by the Red
Guard, as was first reported. Com
plants and protests mount against
the actions of the Spanish Foreign
Legion and the Riff troops. Middle
class Shopkeepers say that although
the Red Guard may have confis-
Gated food and supplies, the robbing
of jewelry and other stories and the
real looting began when the Foreign
Legion marched in to slaughter the
workers.
Reports are piling up that the
perverts and escaped criminals in
the Foreign Legion, the dregs of the
underworld, together with the Riffs,
killed with savage brutality and in
cold blood.
In the Cortes, liberal member
is preparing to exhibit photographs
showing the Legion shooting pris-
oners against a stone wall, among
whom were women and children. A
newspaper reporter from Madrid
was shown shot down in savage
manner by a Russian White Guard
who joined the Foreign Legion, and
killed the correspondent because he
was a left" republican. The total
killed in Spain is yet hard to es-
innate. The figures run from 5000
to 10000.
Role of Caballero
AS the SMOKE clears, certain facts
become known. First of all there
are the tactics of the Socialists who
started the movement, but failed to
draw the masses into armed strug-
gle. Largo Caballero. Prieto and
other Socialists were acting with
the Trotzkyites. -Four days before

In droves, cities; towns and coun- ties went over to the IVA; more than 300 such governmental units in the valley have filed applications for IVA power.
 At present the IVA power supply is limited to that produced at Muscle Shoals, around tS0.OOO kilowatts. But the completion of
 Norris and Wheeler dams will null tiply this 10 times.
 Despite efforts of coal and Ice interests to. limit the power pro-
