A Boon for Whom?

DESTRUCTION of 100000 bushels of
~ wheat in one month, with the per-
spective of reduction of the national sur
plus by 2OO,0O0,0O0 bushels is declared to
be boon "to the farmers" by experts of
the Department of Agriculture.
Draught, bugs, windstorms and bad
weather that destroy the hard labor of the
farmers that still further cut down the amount of
wheat he can expect is looked upon as god-send
by the Roosevelt administration
But whom will these natural catastrOphes
benefit? VIII they bring increased incomes to the
farmers? Many farmers win be wiped out en-
tirely those now in the path of the huge dust
storms tearing across the Western wheat states.
Others, who have cut their acreage down. will be
left with only fraction of what they planted.
The ones to benefit will be the huge grain specu-
lators who already have their grain options. The
rich farmers who have huge acreages and can ex-
pect fair-sized crops, despite the A.AA reductions
and the natural catsstrophes The workers will
suffer through increased bread prices.
THE Roosevelt administration of planned destrlc-
ton can well feel happy over wsnton destruction
Of wheat because it will help those whom the Roose
welt government has been aidng-the grain specu-
lators the bankers, and the rich farmers
For the poor and middle farmers, the destruction
is Just what the logical human mind expects it to
be-s disaster Of the first magnitude. They too
will have to pay increased prices for flour and other
commodities, and will have less money with which
to pay their debts.

them by the Roosevelt regime, are confronted with

The Tour of Sean Murray

ONE of the key questions of international
" politics today is the so-called Irish
question" Robbed by their English and
native exploiters, prey to demagogues
of the Eoin O'Duffy stripe, held in thrall
by the Catholic Church and faced with the
false friendship of certain sections of the
American capitalist class the Irish masses are
nevertheless, finding their way out the way of
revolutionary struggle, headed by the Irish working
class, the only way to national liberation for Ire
land.
The Irish question is close to the heart of the
American workers. Wave after wave of Irish immi-
grants have come to the United States. They have
settled here and become an integral part OF the
American working class In some cities particu-
larry New York, the Irish workers practically man
the rapid transit and surface lines
To win these workers for the cause OF the revo
lutionary struggle here in the United States it is
absolutely essential to carry on agitation and or
ganzation not only around the everyday bread and
butter issues right here but it is necessary to have
thorough understanding Of the Irish national
question and the struggle going on in Ireland
struggle which the Irish workers here follow with
avid attention. The Irish American masses cannot
be won away from their middle class county
leaaerS and county organiZa tons-Which bind them
along back home" lines to Irish American poli-
ticians in this count1y-by anything except PARTY
which understands the Irish national question and
carries on militant struggle here in the u s.
THE present speaking tour Of Sean Murray secre
ta1y Of the Communist Party of Ireland is of the
greatest importance to the Communist Party of the
United States and to all revolutionary workers IT,
gives our Party an unparalleled opportunitv of ar
ganlzlng new points of support in the u S. for the
revolutionary struggle In ireland and at the same
time, OF reaching Irish masses who hitherto have
been completely under the domination OF the church
and their county organizations
Comrade Murray is still to speak in number of
cities Detroit Chicago, st. Louis New York etc.
On May 30 Comrade Sean Murray will he
given farewell banquet in New York at Irving
Plaza. COmrade Earl Browder and other leaders
OF the American Communist Party will sneak
there. This affair must be rousing political
demonstration at which thousands Of New York
workers will show their support Of the struggles of
the Irish masses.
Every district of the Communist Party. every
workers organization must regard it as a task of
the highest importance to prepare for the Sean
Murray meetings and to mobilize thousands of work
ers TO attend these. This will be very simple but
effective way OF showing our solidarity with the
fight for the national and social liberation of the
Irish workers and peasants

BERLIN, (By MaiD The revolu-
tionary railway workers have once
more been successful in bringing out
a paper of their own, which is dis
tributed among railwaymen in Ber-
lin stations, roundhouses, repair
shops.
The 16 pages of this neatly mime
ographed sheet draws the balance
sheet of the Nazi swindle on the
state railways. They show how the
rapid falling off of train movements
gives the lie to the optimistic eco
nomic reports published by the fas-
cists. Figures and facts are printed,
showing how the conditions of the
railway workers have been worsened
by speeding-up and by reductions in
pay of every description.
An interesting workers CORE
respondence describes how Storm
Troopers, employed in a railway
depot in the North of Berlin, raised
protest against the bad working
conditions. They we're suspected Of
being Communists in Storm Troop
uniforms. These misled proletarians
have so little an idea of what a
Communist is, that they, on their
part, accused their foreman, respon-
sible for speeding them up, of being
a Communist.
Wider political questions are taken
up. A supplement of the Red Rail

La Guardia's blessing "

WHEN a committee caught Mayor La
" Guardia just as he was leaving City
Hall several days ago to demand permit
for the anti-Nazi meeting in Yorkville, the
Mayor told them they had his blessing"
but that he didn't want to interfere in
Police Department affairs any longer.
Thursday night, at Second Avenue and
seth St., the anti-fascist workers got
taste OF LsGuardia's Blessing" They learned
very definitely, as the forty-one arrested and many
injured can testify what LaGusrdis means when
he says he will not interfere" in police department
affairs
It means; The police going to break up
your rally. They're going to use clubs and fists
horses and autos, in attacking you. They'll stop at
nothing And I won't stop them!"
This is what the progressive" Mayor OF New
York means and it is not the first time that he has
demonstrated this stand, Workers throughout New
York City bear cruel scars to prove this.
The Daily Worker has already branded La
Gusrdia as a friend of the Nazis who hypocriticay
calls himself an anti-fascist On Thursday night
LaGuardias police who, at a single sign from the
Mayor, could have allowed the demonstration to
proceed militsntly but peacefully brutaly rode into
sign. They Isolated some Of the leaders in dark

tinued to beat and kick him them with brutal sad
ism equalled only by their Nazi counterparts They

borhood children who were shouting Down With
Hitler" swinging clubs and believing filthy epithets
They acted Just as Hitler would have wanted them
to act.
Not day passes without anti working
class act on the part Of IsGuarda and his Fusion
gang. The list of attacks is piled higher and higher
as is the resentment Of the masses Of New York.
This resentment must be organized in order to
be effective in order TO combat and successfully de-
feat the Fusion gang and the decsyed system which
it so ruthlessly and unscr1pulousy upho1ds The
best way to accomplish this is to recruit more and
more workers into our militant and fighting organi-
cations, and into the only political party which UNI
flinchingly fights against this system the Communist
Party.

life Every collective farm peasant
of the "Comintern" received this
year for every labor day five kilos of
wheat, two kilos of dried fruit, and
10 roubles. And together with So
cialist economics has come socialist

farm has built big, light club, a
beautiful tea house, is carrying
