mission is 70 put pressure on the
labor market to ensure low paid
workers. Here then is already one
hiatus in planned economy in
bourgeois society.
Moreover, planned economy pre-
suppoSes that output increases in
those branches of industry whose
products are particularly needed by
the masses of people. But you know
that under capitalism the enlarge
ment of production takes place from
other motives, that capital gravi-
tates towards the branches of econ
omy where the rate of profit is
bigger. You cannot ever compel
a capitalist to cause himself loss
and consent to a lower rate Of profit
for the sake of satisfying public
requirements. Without getting rid
of capitalists and abandoning the
principle of private ownership in the
means of production you cannot
create planned economy"
Wells agreed with much that
Stain said but suggested, however,
that IF the country as a whole
accepts the principle of planned
economy, and if the government
little by little and step by step be-
gins consistently to apply this prin-
ciple, then in the long run the f.
nancial oligarchy will be destroyed
and the socialism will be introduced
in the sense in which it is understood
in the Anglo-Saxon understanding
of this word"
STAIN: But what will this so
cialism' mean? At best some re-
straint for the most unrestrained
individual representatives of CAPT
talist profit, some increase in the
regulating principle in national

struction in the U. S. S. R.
Wells had recently visited the
United States. This visit, accord
ing to Wells, had keen effect on
him. The old financial world" he
said, twas crashing, and economic
life in that country was being re-
constructed in new way"
Wells imagined, he said. that Sin
the United States, the question
arises of profund reorganization and
the creation of a planned economy,
that is Socialist economy. Is there
not" he asked Stain, lin this case
an theological similarity between
Washington and Moscow
Stain replied: The United States
has different aim from the U. S.
S. r. The aim followed by Americans
arose on the basis of economic dis
order, and economic crisis. Amer
leans want to get rid of the crisis
on the basis of private capitalist
activity. without changing the eco
nomic basis. They are striving to
reduce to q minimum the devaSta-
ton and loss caused by the existing
economic system. AS you know, in
our country, in place of the old
economic base, which was smashed,
has been formed an absolutely diff
ferent, new economic basis.
Even if the Americans of whom
you speak achieve their aim par
TALLY, that is, reduce this loss to a
minimum, in this case also they will
not destroy the roots of that an
archy which is inherent in the
existing capitalist system. They pre-
serve that system which without
fail must lead and cannot help
leading to anarchy in production.
Thus at best it won't be a question
of reconstructing society or of de-
stroying the old social order which
gives rise to anarchy and crises, but
of restricting certain undesirable
sides of it, and limiting certain
excuses.
"Subjectively these Americans
possibly think that they are reor-
ganizing society, but effectively the
present basis of society is preserved
among them. Therefore effectively
no reconstruction of society will
take place, and planned economy
will not come about
What is planned economy? What
are its various features? Planned
economy strives TO abolish unem-
ployment. Let us suppose that
while maintaining the capitalist
system, unemployment can be re-
duced to certain minimum. But
no capitalists will ever agree at any
price to complete the abolition of
unemployment, the abolition of the
reserve army Of unemployed, whose

German C. P. Addresses
Urgent Message to
C. P. of u. S. A.
LYNCH TRIAL SOON
Only Intense Activity by
the Workers Can
Save Leader

BERLIN, Oct. 9.-In a commune
cation to the Communist Party of
America, the Central Committee of
the German Communist Party
warns that Thaelmann's life is in
extreme danger and outlines spe-
officially how the struggle, not only
for Thaelmann's rescue, but for the
final defeat of Hitlerism, can be
carried on in the most effective
way. The letter follows:
ITO our Brother Party:
Dear Friends,
THE proceedings a against the
leader of our party, Ernst Thael-
mann, from now on passes into a
decisive stage.
CAS- we learn from reliable sources,
after the deliberate and repeated
delaying of the trial, the terrorist
judgment of the legal proceedings
will fall sometime in the course of
october Every probably in mid
October.
"Thaelmann will be faced with
hired tools, falsified records and
documents. which will play large
role in the events of the trial.
Among other things will be pre-
sented an Infamous plan of insur-
rection, clumsy forgery, which,
on the face of it, pretends to be a
document drawn up by the Central
Committee under the direction of
Thaelmann about the beginning OF
1893. There are two considerations
which caused Hitler and Goering to
build up, out of the prosecution of
Thaelmann, a monstrous indictment
of Communism itself.
The Aims of the Nazis
I'm the first place, they will try
to justify all the bloody deeds of
terror by final withdrawing, and
in the second place they will at
tempt to play the part of saviors
of Germany in the face of bolsh-
vism.
THE Hitler dictatorship hopes
that as the Nationals o ciali st
savior and through falsehood,
hired tools and forged documents
it may present Thaelmann to the
outside world in the light of the
leader of Communist terrorists, in
cendiaries, intriguers and traitors to
their country guilty of high treason
Thanks to the great interna-
tional movement of protest for our
brave comrade, Thaelmann, and
thanks to the real proof of prole-
tartan solidarity and the revolution
airy internationalism of our brother
parties (for which we here wish to
record our full recognition and our
revolutionary thanks the Hitler
dictatorship has been subjected to
heavy pressure from the masses of
the world. This has been the most
helpful act in developing the fight
for the liberation of our party and
for Comrade Thaelmann.

MADRID, Oct. 9. = Pro-
tected by machine guns and
soldiery and momentarily ex-
pecting the onrush of revolu-
tionary forces, a fascist
'rump" parliament sat in the
Cortes today celebrating on
the last available means Of attack
on labor in life and death struggle
to save Spain for capitalism.
All railroad employees between 40
and SO years Of age were modified

ment, the penalty for non-compli-
ance to be court-martial for dese--
ton under the wartime penalties
of life imprisonment or death.
While 5000 Spanish Foreign Lee
gionnaires hurriedly imported from
Morocco scattered through the
country in frantic attempt to
cover the area deserted by the de-
feated and exhausted civil guard,
heavy artillery raked the city of
Giion from battleships ranged
along the coast. Ofhcial reports from
Madrid state that all efforts to dis
lodge workers rule from Gijon have
failed and that observers still saw
the red flags flying from the roofs
of public buildings.
Fragmentary news that the revo-
lutionists were defeated in Oviedo,
in the Asturias, where the heaviest
section of the government troops
are concentrated, have not been
substantiateo. PROM all authoritative
accounts the workers are still in
possession of the city, which con-
tains the largest ammunition fac
tories and warehouses in all Of
Spain.
In certain cities, such as Seville
and Barcelona, the strike has sub
sided in strength, but throughout
the provinces of the Asturias and
northern Spain generally the strike
is continuing and growing steadily.
All stores and business in Madrid
were halted by the intensity of the
strike, while in Ujo and Mieres
workers not only everywhere en-
forced the strike but held control
of the towns, in spite of the attacks
of the mercenary troops.

Response of crews of twenty-three ships and
tugboats in five Atlantic ports to the strike call
of the United Front Seamens Strike Committee
proves that they will no longer be fooled by the
truce schemes of leaders of the International
Seamen's Union and the arbitration plans of the
N.R.A. and the shipowners.
After eighteen months of stalling by arbitration
boards, after witnessing the strkebreaking maneu-
vers of the I.S.U. and LILA. officials on both the
East and West Coasts, the seamen have learned
that only through policy of united strike struggle
under rank and file leadership, can the marine
workers win better conditions on the ships and

Opens Fight on All
Militant Workers
BY A. B. Magil
Especial to the Daily Workerl

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 9.-The
announcement of drive to expel
all Communists and other militant
workers from the A. F. of L. auto
locals was the first official act OF
Francis j. Dillon, who has just been
appointed to succeed William Col
Inns as A. F. Of L. national organizer
in the auto industry
Dillon tried to shift the blame
for the catastrophe decline in the
membership of the locals from the
shoulders of the top off1cialdom to
the militants. The reds have al
ready declared war on us, he said,
and they have been successful III
destroying part of our organization.
We will ferrets them out, however,
and drive them out of our labor
unions"
Does Not Fight Pay Cuts
While attacking the militant rank
and filers, Dillon said nothing in
criticism of the open shop auto
companies who have taken advan-
tage of the Washington settlement,
put over with the active aid of the
A. F. of L. officialdom, to drive the
workers into company unions and
intensity their efforts to smash all
genuine trade unions.
He made no mention of the fact
that wage cuts have already been
started in number of plants and
that a general offensive against the
living standards of the auto work
ers is being prepared for the re-
sumption of production next year.
He did indicate, however, that in
the auto industry, as well as else
where, the A. F. of L. bureaucracy
would exert all efforts toward put
ting into effect the no-strike pro-
posal of President Roosevelt.
Federation members in this area
will conduct their collective bar
gaining with a minimum of con
fiict," he said; I'VE will avoid strife
where possible and above all else
will see that the law of the land is
obeyed."
Dillons statements are undoubt-
edly directed against the militant
rank and file movement which is
spreading in the A. F. of L. auto
locals and which is calling a ma
tional conference in Michigan on

Mass Fight for
.Scottsb oro 9
By Angelo Herndon

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 9.-The
State Supreme Court of Alabama
has again decreed the legal murder
of Haywood Patterson and Clarence
Norris, Scottsboro boys.
The Court of Alabama has set
the date of this murder for Dec.
Z.
The state has said SO. but the
masses of the United States. the
Negroes, the white workers, and
their friends, have the final deci-
sion in their hands.
The masses in this country have
already. under the leadership Of
the International Labor Defense,
prevented this murder for three
and a half years. They have done
this in one of the greatest, most
heroic struggles ever carried on in
this country. They have done it
with the support of the millions
of toilers modified by the Interna-
tional Red Aid all over the world.
We must do it again. We must
now raise greater campaign than
we have ever done before. AS the
bosses see themselves frustrated on
every side in their determination
to legally murder the Scottsboro
boys, their determination grows
also. Every day that goes by means
that we must develop a bigger
campaign.
We cannot be content with just
continuing general campaign for
the Scottsboro boys. Every in
dividual, every organization that is
now doing anything in this cam
paign, must be spurred by the Inn

ALEXAN De R
AND BARTHOU
ARE SLAIN
King of Jugoslavia and
French Official Shot
Entering France
FEAR NEW SARAJEVO
Police Shoot on Crowd,
Injuring 20-Anti-
''Red" Cry Raised

MARSETLLES, Oct. 9. King
Alexander, ruler of the Jugoslavian
military dictatorship, and the
French Foreign Minister Louis Bar
thou, were shot and killed here to-
day on the Kings arrival in
France.
The fear was expressed through
out Europe that the shooting of
Alexander and Barthou may prove
TO be another Sara jevo. the signal
for new imperialist slaughter.
The bloody ruler of Jugoslavia
had arrived in France to take up
the question Of war alliances. in
view of the sharpening situation
between Fascist Italy and Jugo-
slavis. He had arrived for an inn
portant conference with Premier
Barthou. AS the automobile in
which the two were riding had
gone $50 feet someone directed a
rain of bullets into the car, fatally
wounding both men.
Police Enjure Twenty
The police Immediately shot into
the crowd Unfortunately wound
ing 20 people. One man was seized
by the police. beaten over the head
with sword and shot dead. His
name was said to be Kalem Petrus.
It is claimed he was the actual as
SaSSin. though scores of others were
arrested.
A hue and cry has gone up claim
ing that Communists committed
the deed. The person shot dead by
the police as the assassin was said
to be Czech.
Yugoslav-Italy Relations Tense
Ever since the slaughter of the
fascist dictator Dollfuss Of Austria
the relations between Italy and
Jugoslavia have grown extremely
tense. with the imminent posi-
bility of the outbreak of war. Re-
Gently Mussolini declared that the
italian army must be ready for the
war of today against Jugoslavia.
On Sunday, Mussolini made a
speech directed to France urging
an alliance in the Balkans, and
particularly against Jugoslavia. The
visit of King Alexander was I'M
doubtedly an effort of the French
imperialists to make war alliance
inimical to Italian fascism, and it
is likely that Mussolini had a hand
in the assassination of King Alex
ander and Premier Barthou.
One of those wounded by the DO
lice in their indiscriminate firing
at the crowd assembled to view the
kings arrival, was General George

LEGION HEAD
TALKS AT ALL
CONVENTION
Mabey Faces Hostile
Motion to Condemn
His Scab Role
BY Bill Dunno
laily Worker speciaI CORRESPONDENT

DAILY Worker Special Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8. In
the face of a resolution condemn
ing the activities of the American
Legion leaders in the maritime
strike here, a resolution adopted by
the recent California State Fedora
ton convention, ChaTsss Mabey,
Legion vice commander and former
Utah Governor, addressed the con-
yention today.
The State Federation of Labor
resolution is before the convention
although not yet reported out.
With Mabey appearing in the
face of this issue and with resolu-
ton calling for the withdrawal of
all union officials from the Ma
tional Civic Federation also before
the convention, introduced by the
delegation of the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees Union, Matthew
Vol, professional friend of the
Legion and acting president of the
National Civic Federation, appears
to be in for some trouble.
Condemn COughlin
Father Coughlin, the radio priest,
also came in for denunciation as an
open shop employer today. This was
an echo from the last convention
when the Executive Council was in
structed to try to get him to employ
union labor in his printing. and his
other enterprises. The Council has
reported that it could do nothing
with him.
Mabey appealed for support Of
the campaign for the legions uni
versal consumption law.
Red Scare Pushed
He urged the convention to give
a helping hand to the drive against
'subversive radicals" His reception
was lukewarm even when he
pledged full support to the organ
lied labor movement and its just
aim"
German received a tremendous
ovation before and after his speech.
perhaps the greatest given any one
in the convention so far. His ap-
pearance here and the tone of his
speech doubtless expressed the need
of slightly more militant coloring
for officialdom.
There are some thirteen resolu-
tons favoring industrial unionism
in one form or another now before
the convention. A large conference
of delegates from Federal unions is
taking place tonight and this ques-
ton will be major issue together
with unemployment insurance.

BIG TEST SUITS

Unconstitutionality and
Fostering Of Monopolies
Are Charged 4
RUBBER, ICE FIRMS
ANSWER CHARGES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (UP).
The NRA is charged in two inn
portant test cases before the Fed
eral Trade Commission with fos-
tering monopoly and violating the
Constitution.
These charges are made In an
swers filed by three rubber foot
wear companies and an ice COM
pany which had been cited for al
legged noncompliance with their
respective codes.
The three rubber companies arc
Phillips-Baker, LaCross Rubber
Co., and Goodyear. They are
charged with refusing to file prica
schedules.
In answering, these companies
said the rubber code is monopo-
listic and oppressive and that it
cannot compel price schedule fill
ing. They also charged that the
NRA drafted the code without
their being given a hearing and
they said they were unaware Of
some Of the codes provisions.
Counsel for the Purity Ice Co.,
of Lakeland, Fla, assailed the
NRA in its answer to complaint
accusing it of establishing and OPP
Grating an ice manufacturing
plant without first obtaining
certificate for convenience and
necessity ,as provided by the ice
code.
The company, in asking dismiss
sal of the complaint, denied it
operated in interstate commerce
and asserted it cannot be COM
PEELED to obtain a certificate Of
necessity and convenience under
the constitution.
1t also charged the code is un-
lawful in that congress cannot
delegate it's powers to the presi-
dent who then transferred them
to another party"
