represent Mellon under another
capitalist party political label.
However, the overwhelming ma
jority of sebservient Senators and
Representatives who will shoot
through the bills for bigger and
better warships and armies, when
the Public Works" funds are Insult
f1cient for that purpose, and who
will not attack the White House
product that will be labelled "un-
employment insurance" will not be
an unmixed blessing to the Presi-
dent and his big business, liberal
capitalist, labor fakiT official lieu
tenants, and the host of others who
operate the mechanism constantly
bringing the banking and business
structure closer to the state appa-
-atus.
The Work of Congress
Responsibility will be centered on
the White House. 1t will be difficult
to stage the congressional sham of
passing an act in the hope Of a
presidential veto What will be done
by Congress will be done in carry
ing out the finance oligarchy orders
more and more openly. Yes, Con-
gress in the recent past played the
game of the big boys, but not with
out some confusion, demagogy and
hesitation. Under the stress of the
intensifying crisis, which will in
crease the war danger, it is a safe
bet that the coming Congress will
lie down and sit up in a manner
setting the fashion for the best of
Fidos.
There is no doubt that the air is
appreciably cleared of the cloudi-
ness Of inpotent Republican threats
to get American capitalism to
change its political Representatives.
Thus the fact that there is only
one basic opposition, the Commu-
mist Party, to the Roosevelt regime
of hunger and war preparations
will become clearer every day to
greater and greater numbers. In
short, the issues and the lines be-
tween capital and labor are more
clearly drawn than ever before.
Campaigns Of Terror
Under the stress of increasing
unemployment, campaigns of terror
against militant workers and poor
farmers, especially the foreign-born,
and the increasing chauvinist-in-
spired campaign against the mount
ing anti-war sentiment of tbs
masses, important segments of the
workers, poor farmers and lower
middle classes will realize the role
of the Communist Party as their
vanguard in the fight against war,
for social and economic security and
for Soviet America.
With increasing mass discomfort
and world crisis that refuses to
be cured by speeches, it is quite
likely that the Roosevelt fascist
tendencies will begin to take on
political forms. AS R. Paine, the
editor Of the English Labor Monthly
and author of the indispensable
weapon in the fight against fascism.
the brilliant and fascinating "Fas-
cism and Social Revolution" writes:
THE significance of the Roosevelt
regime is above all the significance
Of the transition to Fascist forms.
especially in the economic and in
dustrial field. As the failure
Of the plans of economic recovery
becomes manifest and gives place
to new forms of crisis and VIDE
spread mass discomfort, and above
all as the advance to war implicit
in the whole Roosevelt policy devel-
ops, the demand for corresponding
political forms of Fascism will inev-
itably come to the front in The
United States"
