WORKER ATTENDED MEETINGS
NEVER ASKED TO JOIN PARTY
For some time past I have been
reading your paper, and became
interested in your cause. am to-
day one in the vast army OF I'M
employed.
Do you have any special method
Of gaining new members? And if
you have, am not criticizing, but
you sure need the improving of
doing so. In my spare time, looking
for employment, I have stopped to
listen to some of your speakers, min
gled amid crowds gathered on the
Mall, on Boston Common, and will
say that I find some interesting
who help the cause, and some who
are not so good, but who are no
doubt doing the best they can. I
have been into your meeting halls,
looking for some political informa-
ton, and up to the present time, at
no time have I ever been asked to
join the Party, or asked whether
would care to know how to become
interested to join. You need a per-
fected plan for getting new mem
bers.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-24
By Louis Perigaud
Former editor Of "Populaire,"
organ Of the Socialist Party
af Eva~m-N

No one has forgotten the rever-
oerations raised among the ex-
plotted masses of all countries when
Roman ROLAND and Henri Bar
busse sent forth their appeal. The
millions of toilers represented at
Amsterdam in 1882 synbolized the
birth Of great movement calling
on all classes Of workers to the
common struggle against the COM
mon enemy-war.
Speaking for myself, 1 shall never
forget the reports given by the
French delegates before the 5000
Parisians who were able to gain en-
trance to the overcrowded and ut
terly inadequate arena, while in the
streets 10000 others fought with the
police in a monstrous provocation
during which many of our comrades
were wounded.
First Reaction OF Bosses
This was the first reaction Of the
capitalists to the new movement,
and it was not the sole reaction. but
it proved that they well understood
the significance of this unique
event which was soon to shake
world opinion and completely trans
form political alignments. The liv-
ing proof that they were not mis-
taken is the unity of action realized
in France, in Italy, the Saar, and
in Spain.
However, in spite of all it's
strength, our movement had this
weakness. Detracting from it's pos
sible force was the absence of the
Second International True, an i'm
portant number of the members of
the French Socialist Party had an
swered the call of Barbusse and
ROLAND and had sent delegate to
Amsterdam, but party discipline
continually menaced and hung over
the heads of our Socialist comrades.
Some few very few = abandoned
their stand, but the larger number
persisted and were subsequently ex-
PEELED by the National Council on
Oct. 5, 1888.
Enemies Organize
All during the time that these
discussions, these explosions we're
going on, the enemy was organizing
The economic crisis, although strik-
ing later here than in other coun-
tries, was becoming ever more
acute. and internal conditions were
becoming more and more aggra-
waited. The role of social con-
servation played by the Rad
ical Party left no room for
doubt in the mind Of a single mill
tant Socialist. 1t was not longer
necessary to prove the failure of
bourgeois democracy. This division
in the social-radical bloc deepened
and the Socialist workers turned to
look for firm ally and found one
in their Communist comrades
Many Of them, Drawing the bolts of
party discipline, swelled the ranks
of our movement for the united
front.
More and more the fascists dared
to show themselves in the streets
under the indulgent eye Of the po-
lice. It was then that the StaviSky
scandal broke.
The masses, disguised by the
stream Of compromise, expressed
their anger in no uncertain terms
on the streets. The Radical Party
could no longer remain in the min
ist,y and from then on did not offer
the slightest resistance to the men
ace of fascis1n. completely covered
as it was with the mud of the scam
dal. Without a scruple their leaders
exploited the fury Of the people AND

sault. And the workers, veterans

Banks and the New Deal

THE open alignment of the Wall Street
banks with the Roosevelt New DEAL
and the similar moves of Roosevelt toward
openly expressed friendship for Wall Street
banks are not the result merely of Roose-
velts recent speech "reassuring" the banks on his
support of capitalist profit.

lie SAID he was against the monopolies But his
II NR.A-New Deal policies have increased monop-
oily profits 2O4 per cent in the past six months
He said he was against the bankers. But he
has handed them and their industrial subsidiaries
over SI00O0OOO0OO in subsidies and loans in the
past 18 months
He said he was against initiation and for the
honest dollar" But his going off the gold stand
ard and the devaluation of the dollar to SO cents
have affected a 20 per cent cut in the buying power
Of every worker and toiling farmer in the country.
He said no one would starve" Bue now there
are 1900 900 people who are penniless and wholly
dependent on starvation relief rations, with many
millions more unable to get even the meagre gov
ernmental relief.
Roosevelt said he was against taxing food.
Shortly after he levied an s8oO0Oo0OO processing
tax on corn, wheat, and tobacco.
He said he was for reducing debt payments But
he has increased the debt payments to the bankers
from about $750O0oO0O to close to a $1,O0O000o00.
He said he was for peace. But he has spent
$4,000 600 600 on the biggest machine the coun-
try has ever seen.
He said he would provide 100000 workers with
jobs. Instead government reports admit that I'M
employment increased SO per cent in the past
month alone, and unemployment is back to
the peak levels of 1912
He said he would provide unemployment insur-
snce Instead, he has brutally refused to give one
cent for Federal Unemployment Insurance and has
appropriated $40 for the Wall Street money chang
ers" for every 81 set aside for relief Relief appro
priations are being slashed to the bone and sub
sistence farms" proposed in their stead.
He promised that the high MA monopoly
prices would restore wages Instead he has brought
wages down to a uniform starvation level through
the codes and has slashed the buying power of all
workers through inflationary prices.
He said his program would be social well
fare" program. Instead, his AA.A program has
destroyed one-thrd of the countrys food supply,
raising the price of bread and milk Is to 80 per
cent.
In every one of his acts, Roosevelt has shown
himself to be the agent of the Wall Street capital
lists, pursuing a capitalist class policy in the inter-
ests of the biggest Wall Street monopolies and
against the majority of the people Of the country,
the workers and small farmers.
These policies of Roosevelt, who posed
friend of the forgotten men," should make every
worker realize the necessity of defeating Roose-
vets New Deal" candidates, and of electing Com
munists pledged to the fight against Roosevelt and
the needs of the masses. The record of the Com
munist Party in every struggle of the workers is
the guarantee that their election promises will be
fulfilled.
