What the ''New Deal" Has CiUen
the Workers

The suffering masses have been told
to look to Washington for their saliva
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt and his New Deal
have been decked out with the rainbow
promises of returning prosperity. But
the bitter truth is rapidly being learned
that Roosevelt and his New Deal repre-
sent the Wall Street bankers and big
corporations-finance capital-just the
same as Hoover before him, but carry
ing out even fiercer attacks against the
living standards of the masses of the
people. Under Roosevelt and the New
DEAL policies, the Public Treasury has
been turned into huge trough where
the big capitalists eat their fill. Over
ten billion dollars has been handed out
to the banks and corporations, billions
squeezed out of the workers and farm
ers by initiation and by all sorts of new
taxes upon the masses. Under the
Roosevelt regime, the main burden of
taxation has been shifted away from
the big capitalists onto the impover-
ished masses.
The NRA. and the industrial codes
have served further to enrich the CAPT
talists by establishing fixed monopoly
prices, speeding up justification, and
squeezing out the smaller capitalists
and Independent producers.
The labor provisions of the N.R.A.,
which were hailed by the A. F. of L..
and Socialist leaders as "a new charter
for labor" have turned out in reality
to be new chains for labor. The fixing
of the so-called minimum wage, at be-
low starvation levels, has turned out in
reality to be a big effort to drive the
maximum wage down to this point. The
so-called guarantee of the right to or
ganize and collective bargaining has
turned out in reality to be the establish
ment of the company unions. The last
remaining rights of the workers they
now propose to take away by establish
ing compulsory arbitration under the
Wagner Bill, camouflaged as an attempt
to guarantee workers rights. Roosevelt
has given official governmental status
to the company unions, in the infamous
settlement" in the auto industry. This
new step toward fascism is announced
as a new course" to apply to all in
dustries.
All these domestic policies are openly
recognl ed as identical in their content
with the measures of professed fascist
governments. This rapid movement to-
ward fascism in the United States goes
hand in hand with the sharpening of in
ternational antagonisms and the most
gigantic preparations for war ever be-
fore witnessed in pre-war period.
More than billion dollars has been ap-
.propriated for war purposes during this

Only the Communist Party
Fights for the Workers

Only the Communist Party has con-
sistently organized and led the resist
ance to the capitalist attacks. The
enemies of the Communist Party try to
scare away the workers and farmers
from this struggle by shouting that the
Communist Party is interested only in
revolution, that it is not sincerely try
ing to protect the living standards of
the masses. They do this in order to
hide the fact that they, one and all, pur-
sue the single policy of saving the prof
its of the capitalists, no matter what it
may cost in degrading the living stand
ards of the masses.
The Communist Party declares that
wages must be maintained no matter
what is the consequence to capitalist
profits.
The Communist Party declares that
unemployment insurance must be pro-
vided at the expense of capitalist
profits.
The Communist Party declares that
the masses of workers and farmers
must not only fight against reduction
in their living standards, but must win
constantly increasing living standards
at the expense of capitalist profits.
The Communist Party declares, if the
continuation of capitalism requires that
profits be protected at the price of
starvation, fascism and war, for the
masses of the people, then the quicker
capitalism is destroyed, the better.

until the moment when Dollfuss turned
his cannons against the homes of the
Austrian workers.
Their civilized" methods opened wide
the gates for the most barbarous re-
gime in the modern history of Europe.
Their peaceful methods gave birth of
the most bloody and violent reaction.
Their democracy" brought forth the
most brutal and open capitalist dictator
ship. Their gradual transition to So
cialism" helped to restore the uncon-
trolled rule of finance capital, the master
of Fascism. The German and Austrian
working class, after 16 years of bitter
and bloody lessons of the true meaning
of the policies of the Socialist Parties,
of the Second international, have now
finally begun to turn away from them
and at last to take the Bolshevik path.

Only Unemployment Insurance
Bill Is That Of the Com
nunist Party

1t is no accident that the only serious
project for unemployment insurance
that has come before the Congress of
the United States is the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill, HR. 1898,
which was worked out and popularized
among the masses by the Communist
Party. Only the Communist Party has
made real fight for unemployment in
surance and by this fight finally forced
before the Congress the first and only
bill to provide real unemployment in
surance.
1t is no accident that the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill is being
bitterly fought not only by the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, but also
by the American Federation of Labor
and the Socialist Party leaders, as well
as by little groups of their satellites,
Musteites, Trotskyites, and Loveston-
ties.
1t is no accident that whenever a big
strike movement breaks out, the capt.
talist press shrieks that it is due to
Communist influence, and the A. F. of L.
and Socialist Party leaders wall that the
masses have gotten beyond their con-
troll.
1t is true that all struggles for daily
bread, for milk for children. against

What a Workers Government
Would Do

The first acts of such a revolutionary
workers government would be to open
up the warehouses and distribute
among all the working people the enor-
nous unused surplus stores of food and
clothing.
It would open up the tremendous ac-
emulation of unused buildings now
withheld for private profit-for the
benefit of tens of millions who now
wander homeless in the streets or
crouch in cellars or slums.
Such government would immedi-
ately provide an endless flow of COM
modities to replace the stores thus used
up by opening up all the factories, mills
and mines, and giving every person a
job at constantly increasing wages.
All former claims to ownership of the
means of production, including stocks,
bonds, etc., would be relegated to the
museum with special provisions to pro-
tect small savings. No public funds
would be paid out to anyone except for
services rendered to the community.
Unemployment and social insurance
would Immediately be provided for all,
to cover all loss of work due to causes
outside the control of the workers,
whether by closing of factories, by sick
ness, old age, maternity, or otherwise,
at full wages without special costs to
the workers.
Such government would immedi-
ately begin to reorganize the present
anarchic system of production along
Socialist lines. It would eliminate the
untold waste of capitalism; it would
bring to full use the tremendous
achievements of science, which have
been pushed aside by the capital-
list rulers from consideration of private
profit Such Socialist reorganization
of industry would almost Immediately
double the existing productive forces of
the country. Such a revolutionary gov
eminent would secure to the farmers
the possession of their land and provide
them with the necessary means for
comfortable living; it would make it
possible for the farming population to
unite their forces in a cooperative So
cialist agriculture, and thus bring to
the farming population all of the adj
vantages of modern civilization, and
would multiply manifold the productive
capacities of American agriculture. It
would proceed at once to the complete
liberation of the Negro people from all
oppression, secure the right of self
determination of the Black Belt, and
would secure unconditional economic,
political and social equality.
With the establishment of Socialist
system in America, there will be such
a flood of wealth available for the coun-
try as can hardly be imagined. Produc-
tive labor instead of being burden will
become desirable privilege for every
citizen of the new society. The wealth
of such society will Immediately be-
come so great that, without any special
burdens, tremendous SURPRISES will be
available which can be used as free gifts
to the economically more backward ma
tons, in the first place, to those which
have suffered from the imperialist ex-
ploitation of American capitalism,
Cuba, Latin America, Philippines,
China, to enable these peonles also to
build Socialist society in the shortest
possible time.

year. A large proportion of this has
been taken directly out of the funds
ostepsibly appropriated for public
works. Hundreds of millions are being
spent on military training in the So
called Civil Conservation Camps, run by
the War Department.
The policies of the government in
Washington have one purpose, to make
the workers and farmers and middle
classes pay the costs of the crisis, to
preserve the profits of the big capital
lists at all costs, to establish fascism at
home and to wage imperialist war
abroad.

ground of capitalism by the successful
inclusion of agriculture in the Socialist
system. 1t completely abolished unem-
ployment and tremendously raised the
material well-being and cultural stand
ards of the toiling masses. Upon the
basis of its Socialist system, the Soviet
Union has become the most powerful in
fluence for peace in an otherwise war
mad world.
It's victories are an unending source
of inspiration and encouragement to the
toiling masses of every country. They
are the living example of the possibility
of finding a way out of the crisis in the
interests of the toilers. The experience
of the victorious workers of the Soviet
Union before, during and after the seiz-
ure of power, throw a brilliant light
showing the path which must be fol-
lowed in every land, the path of Boil
shevism, of Marx, Engels, Lenin and
Stain.

The Workers Took the Wrong
Path in Germany and Austria

In the same period of successful test
ing of the Bolshevik road in the Soviet
Union, we have also the example of the
results of the policies of the Socialist
Parties of the Second International. The

of the majority of the working class in

airy upheavals of 1918 in these coun-
tries placed power in the hands of the
Socialist Parties. Their leaders repudi-
ated the Bolsheyik road, and boosted of
their contrasting Civilized" peaceful"
democratic" gradual transition to So
ciaism" through a coalition govern
ment together with the bourgeoisie on
the basis of restoring the shattered
capitalist system. To this end they

of Bruening with its emergency DEGREES

finally crowned their infamy by voting

evictions, Tor unemployment relief and
insurance, for wage increases, for the
right to organize and strike, etc., are
directly connected up with the question
of revolution. Those who are against
the revolution, who want to maintain
the capitalist system, are prepared to
sacrifice these struggles of the workers
in order to help the capitalists preserve
their profits.
Only those can courageously lead and
stubbornly organize the fight for the
immediate interests of the toiling
masses who know that these things
must be won even though it means the
destruction of capitalist profits, and
who draw the necessary conclusion that
the workers and farmers must con-
sciously prepare to overthrow capital
ism.
The crisis cannot be solved for the
toiling masses until the rule of Wall
Street has been broken and the rule of
the working class has been established.
The only way out of the crisis for the
toiling masses is the revolutionary way
out-the abolition of capitalist rule and
capitalism, the establishment of the So
cialist society through the power of
revolutionary workers government, a
Soviet government.
Example Of the Revolutionary
Way Out
The program of the revolutionary
solution of the crisis is no blind expert
ment. The working class is already in
power in the biggest country in the
world, and it has already proved the
great superiority of the Socialist sys-
tenn. While the crisis has engulfed the
capitalist countries-at the same time
in the Soviet Union, where the workers
rule through their Soviet power, new
Socialist society is being VIGOROUSLY
built.
The Russian working class, from its
own resources and its Socialist system,
restored the national economy which
had been shattered by six years of i'm
perialist war and intervention. 1t over
came the age-long backwardness of Rus
STA and brought its industrial produc-
ton to the first place in Europe, to
more than three times the pre-war
figure. 1t rooted out the last breeding

CROWD
PRESENT FOR
LEAGUE CANE
Both Teams Well-Matched And
Divide Honors During Evening
OF Good Football.

Centrals Spartans and the Wild
cats from Brawley battled to a &c
tie on Central field last night in
the first game between these ira
ditional valley high school rivals
this season. The game leaves both
teams tied for leadership of the
league race with matters resting
there until the Thanksgiving game
when the issue will be decided.
1t was a splendid game through
out with each team suffering set
backs because of breaks which to a
great extent figured in the ultimate
outcome. Brawley dominated the
play both as TO defense and offense
in the first half mile while the
Spartans took command of the sit
uation in the third quarter and
staged a drive which finally knot
ted the score.
Brawley won the toss and elected
TO kick off. The Spartans received
and opened scrimmage on their own
40-yard line. Two thrusts at the
strong Wildcat line netted but
small gains and the Spartans punt
ed to the Brawley 81. A l5-yard
penalty set the Wildcats back to
their l2-yard stripe but Chalupnick
punted and the Spartans took the
pigskin on the 50-yard line.
Hui tore off six yards in two at
tempts but the Brawley line was
too strong and the Spartans punt
ed, the ball being grounded on the
Wildcat 4-yard mark. On the first
play Chalupnick punted to his own
IS and the Spartans appeared on
their way to a score from this
point.
However. the Wildcat defense was
too tough and with their linemen
breaking through to stop the Spar
tan plays the latter were again
forced to kick. Chalupnick'S boots
were better than the Spartan ef-
forts in that department. With
the Wildcats holding the ball on
their own 43, Sasaki crossed them
up with a quick kick which rolled
over the Spartan line, giving the
latter the ball on their own 20 anc
completely reversing the situation.
The Spartans were now deep in
their own territory. Hui then went
around right end for 23-yaro
gain and when the Wildcats con-
tinued messing up the Spartan
plays the latter punted to the
Brawley 30 Morrison reeled off 10
yards for a Brawley first down as

were put in a hole when Brawley
