SMITH ABSENT,
ARRESTSFALL

Capt. Milton D. Smith. Of the
Traffic Bureau, took yesterday
off. Arrests between 8 o'clock
yesterday morning and 8 Q. m.
today totaled 217, compared with
27S for the 24-hour period pre-
ceding when he was on the Job.
Captain Smith admitted there
may have been some other fac
tors involved, for instance, that
motorists are beginning to grow
cautious.
Just before pay days many
drivers are short Of cash and

has it. 1.-The decision lies in the
air."
Here the observations Of ex-
perts are incredibly divergent, but
there is enough positive material
to make German air ornaments
the chief cause Of European
anxiety today.
Great Air Fleet
A French military aviation
journal declares Germany has
$4,000 pilots Of whom most are
militarily qualified.
A neutral military expert who
has spent years observing Ger
many told me on the other hand
he did not believe Germany had
IL militarily qualified pilots. A
French major Of aviation put the
figure at 200.
What GOering Wants
A French general Of great
authority told me he considered
the German bombing air fleet
already superior to the French.
Captain Guest in the British
House Of Commons declared Ger
many had 1,099 civil airplaneS
capable Of being turned to mill
tary service.
In this city it has become
known that the German govern
ment has just purchased from an
American firm for $4,000 apiece
three large passenger airplanes
obviously capable Of transforms
ton into bomberS.
Gen. Hermann Goering, air
minister Of Germany, has pub
licly avowed the minimum de-
The Washington times., 1934-03-23

mand for 80 to 40 per cent as
many military air planes as those
possessed by France, Belgium,
Poland and Czechoslovakia, the
countries bordering on Germany.
The official Nazi "Voelkischer
Beobachter" reckons French
planes 4,S46, Belgian 500, Polish
1000, and Czech 700, a total Of
around 1000, with around 5000
reserve planes in the back
ground" On this reckoning the
German demands would be for
at least 2,100 to 1890 military
air planes. On more conservative
reckoning GoerinS is said to have
asked for 1900 planes.
This is the principal reason
why Europe is pessimistic. If
Germany's official air fleet num-
bered from 1900 to 1880, how
many would the others build?
Soon the skies Of Europe may
be dark with war planes.
In the balance Of forces for
and against war, the weightiest
arguments speak for peace dur
ing three. five, 10 or perhaps
more years.
But the ornaments race has
already begun.
No armaments race in history
ever ended with anything but
war.
Can this one be checked?
With Great Britain lies the
answer.

been pushing the development toward fascist meas
ures rapidly. Roosevelts close tie-up with the big
bankers the leading industrialists the powerful
trusts and monopoles his gigantic preparations for
war; the growing attacks the workers. their civil
and trade union rights the greater use of force and
the militia against strikers all the basic causes
for the development toward fascism.
Butler was presented with the job of modifying
the armed hordes of fascism to direct their attack
against the Communist Party and other militant
workers, as a Wrist move toward destroying the
whole workers movement and making it easier for
the finance capitalists, through an open brutal die
tatorshp, to spread their drive for lowering the
standard of living of the American workers, saving
capitalism, and speeding to new bloody mperialist
war
There should be no illusions about Buffers rev.
Citations. This does not stop the development of
the fascist armies, nor in the slightest hinder the
greater moves toward fascism of the Roosevelt re-
gime. The mass base of fascism is being organized
in a hundred rivulets. moving on toward a main
stream. There are the poisonous attacks of Hearst
against the Communist Party and his instigation
of the organization Of fascist spying groups in the
factories. There are the Silver Shirts, and the
multi-coorsd shirts. There are the hundreds of
red-baiting organizations SO ably exposed by John

Wall Street Plots Arm Fascist Bands Unite Against Facm!

DLANS have already been perfected by American
bankers for the organization of fascist armed
bands to shoot down American workers, and to es-
tablish an open fascist dictatorship in the United
States
The sensational revelations of Major General
Smedley D. Butler, who picked to be the Amer
lean Hitler by whole group of the richest bankers
manufacturers, and munitions makers in the United
States, published in the New York Evening Post
yesterday, tells only the smallest part of the story
of the development toward fascism in the United
States.
In fact, the very revelations of Butler are being
utilized to give the impression that the danger is
over, that the crux of the movement has been
scotched and American democracy" saved.
In today's issue of the Daily Worker we pub
lish broader and vital information on the
whole movement toward fascism in the United
States, and the forces and factors behind it.
What the Post and General Smedley Butler do
not make clear, and do not want the masses to
know, is thst the rapid trend toward fascsm in
the United States does not grow out of the mach
nations of few bankers, ready to spend millions
to organize the armed bands of the fascsm army
Fascism springs out of every development of the
Roosevelt regime.
More recently. the Roosevelt government has

L. Spivak in the Daily Worker and New Masses
More recently, there has been the demagogc cam
paign of Father Coughlin and his drive for five
million membership in his fascist National Union
for Social Justice Nor did Buffers sponsors de-
pend on him alone in their attempt to try to trans
form the American Legion into mass fascist base
THAT there is definite movement on for the
mass organization of the fascist bands, far ex-
ceedng the plans exposed by General Butler, that
will continue and will even grow and spring to
maturity with these revelations can be seen by the
actions of the fraternal organizations such the
Elks, the Moose, and the Others and the rabid at
tacks on Communists at the last American Legion
convention.
The process of bringing the representatives of
the bankers into the Roosevelt government appara-
tus has been going at rapid pace recently.
Before and after the elections Roosevelt conferred
constantly with members of the firm of j. P. Nor
gan, and other Wall Street and Chicago bankers
1t is these same bankers who are backing the or
ganzation of the fascist armies
Both of these moves are preparation of ma
chnery for the time when all pretense at democratic
forms Of capitalism will be abandoned. Then it is
proposed with the machinery being set up now,
along with the closer control of the bankers over

Decision of NJ e m b ers
Disregarded By
Keller Clique
PARADE TOMORROW
All Workers and Unions
Called To Take Part
In Mass March

PATERSON, Nov. 20. - Thursday
morning, when the dyers enter the
fifth week of their strike, a huge
solidarity parade will proceed
through the city, in which all work
ers and unions, including those of
Passaic and Lodi, are called to parti-
cipate.
On the other hand the Keller
controlled Executive Board of the
silk workers sabotaged the decision
of Saturdays membership meeting
for strike, and refused to call it.
Instead they held a conference with
the employers and ordered that
there be no strike. All are ordered
to stay in the shops on the basis of
the wages prevailing on Saturday,
which means on the basis of the
wage cut.
The Executive Board of the Broad
Silk department, composed chiefly
of Keller's men, who were defeated
as delegates to the Federation con-
vention at Saturdays meeting, de-
cided with five opposing last night
to recommend to the Joint Board of
the union not to call the strike. This
is a violation Of the unions consti-
tuition, which hakes the membership
meeting decisions binding upon the
executive board. The maneuver of
the Keller machine not to call a
joint board meeting until Thurs
day has been so thoroughly exposed
that, the officials decided to call a
joint board meeting for tonight.
Since that body is reactionary to the
core it is likely that Keller's strike
breaking actions will be endorsed.
The parade arranged by the dyers
will be demonstration of soil
darity with the strikers, and counter
the continual threats of the bosses
T., open dye houses with scabs. The
Central Trades and Labor Council
has been requested to call on all
unions to participate.
Picketing at dye shops is now
maintained night and day, starting
at 500 am. and ending at 800 am.
The workers of each shop are main
tanning rotation system. 1t was
reported at yesterdays shop chair
mems meeting that single men were
not given relief by the E. R. A. but
were sent to the Salvation Army.
The strikers refuse this, and set
upon a broad relief campaign.
A great deal OF resentment was
expressed at this meeting, because
of the failure to carry out the deci-
sion for a delegation to go to
Thomas MacMahon, president of the
United Textile Workers Union, and
demand that dye houses in other
states be pulled out. The decision
was reiterated. Workers are parti-
cularly criticising Anthony Ammi-

CONSULATE CCNY STRIKE

Calling on Socialist and Com
munist workers to rally in thou
sands to picket the Spanish Con-
sulate, SIS Madison Ave, today, to-
morrow, Friday and Saturday, in
protest at the terror against the
Spanish workers, the New
York District Committee of the
Communist Party yesterday de-
clared its energetic support of the
picketing called by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense.
The Districts appeal follows:
THE fascist reaction is raging
in Spain. Our heroic fellow
workers who took up arms and
inspired the world with their
heroic fight against the savage
beast of fascism, are being fright
fully butchered. Entire commu-
mites of mine workers in Asturias
have been wiped out in fire and
blood. Well-armed fascist gangs
are running rampant in working
class centers supported by the
savage Foreign Legion and muir
derous assault guards. Many are
sentenced to death by the courts
martial. Tens of thousands are
in the vile dungeons of the fas-
cist inquisition.
THE heroic Spanish working
class, Communists, Socialists,
Syndicalists, are calling for our
help. The Spanish Socialists
have issued heart-rending APP
peal for the unity of Socialists
and Communists, of all workers,
in a mighty protest movement
demanding the immediate cessa-
ton of the fascist white terror,
the release of all working class
prisoners, the immediate cessa-

CrOsbie Wins
Fight in Trial
At Legion Post

A decision of far-reaching i'm
portance in protecting free politi-
cal expression and activity for the
rank and file of the American
Legion was made on Monday night
when the Blissville Post of the
American Legion decided that
membership in the Communist
Party is not sufficient in itself for
expulsion from the American
Legion.
The decision was made on the
joint recommendation of Queens
County Judge Advocate Charles B.
Schwanda and Assistant Trial
Judge Advocate Angelo John Gin
Gotta for the dismissal of charges
against Paul p Crosbie, Commu-
mist candidate for Congressman in
the last election, that he was guilty
of "disloyalty by reason of his
membership in the Communist
Party"
Cincotta hesitantly admitted
after the hearing that the decision
would set a precedent in the juris-
diction of the Queens County
Legion.
In the opinion of District Off
cialS of the Communist Party, the
decision to dismiss the charges was
influenced by the wide publicity
given Crosbie's earlier trials.
Following the formal dismissal of
the charges, Crosbie said to the
executive committee: There was

BERLIN, Nov. 20. - Revolving
against the cold, the hardship and
starvation Of the brutal Nazi forced
labor camps, workers throughout
the country and particularly in
Westphalia refused to eat the Slop

themselves against Attempts of the
police to ofrce them to labor on

gust, demanded better food and
living conditions, and resisted at
tacks of the local police called in
by the camp superintendent.
OF the 10000 men engaged IN

More than 1900 City College stu
dents struck yesterday for two hours
in as militant a demonstration as
has been seen on any college
campus the nation over. Demand
ing the reinstatement of twenty
one students, expelled for anti-fas-
cist activity, the custer of President
Robinson, and the return of the
dissolved Student Council, the strik-
ers fought police for a brief period
and won the right to hold their
meeting at the central college flag
pole The spectacular burning of
an immense colored efflgy of Pres.
Robinson was the high spot of the
days proceedings.
From a. m. yesterday morning
when a white on violet banner,
screaming. Strike" was discovered
high on the well-greased pole. col
lege attendants, police, and profess
sional steeplejacks worked until
1890 before they finally yanked the
flag down. A loud boo went up from
the crowd at the police success.
Curator and Police Charge
At eleven sharp, the strike chair
man, Wilfred Mendelson, mounted
the base Of the flagpole The curator,
Britt rushed over with his assistants
and demanded the dispersion of the
assemblage. Police joined the COL
lege officials in attacking the first
speaker. After a general melee, dur
ing which several students started
impromptu meetings at various
points on the campus, the strike
chairman was successful in once
again obtaining the flag pole for
the continuation of the regular
strike meeting.
