Is CCC Military? Say No" Orders Derrr, But

BOSTON.-A letter to the Youth
Section of the Massachusetts
branch of the American League
Against War and Fascism, signed
by Col. F. w. Rowell for the com
handing general Of the First Corps
Area Of the U. S. army gives the
lie to Saturdays statement by
George H. Dern, Secretary of War,
that the Civilian Conservation
Corps is not a military organiza-
ton.

Ten days after this letter was

pathi5e with the Communist In
ternational. But we know that
among them there are still many
who think that it is possible to SYM
pathize with the c. I. and at the
same time to solidarize with "left
reformists like Mr. Brockway, who
wants to collaborate with all sorts of
open enemies of the Comintern.
If the members of the ILP. would
make an attentive comparison be-
tween the content of the letters of
the N. A. c. and the letters which
we sent to the I. l. P, it will not
be difficult for them to discover two
fundamentally different political
lines-the one revolutionary and the
other reformist. 1t is possible poll
tically to sympathize with one or
the other, but not with both of them.
We direct attention particularly to
the following three main questions
on which the Brockway letter re-
veals the position of the N. A. G. or
its ma jority.
ISLANDERS Against U. S. S. r.
The first question: The acute dam
ger of counter-revolution war
against the Soviet Union is of the
most important international signi-
ficance at the present time. AS is
known, Japan is openly preparing
an attack upon the Soviet Union in
the Far East. using the support of
British imperialism, and fascist Ger
many, also encouraged by British
Imperialism, is developing pillaging
plans for carving up the European
territory of the u. S. S. r.
But what does Mr.. Brockway say
in the letter of the N. A. C. against
the threatening war plots of the
Japanese. German and British gov
ernments? Not a single word Is
that an accident, "forgetfulness" a.?
No, that cannot be an accident We
already had to remark about this
same 'forgetfulness" on the part of
Mr.. Brockway in our last letter to
the /, L. P.
Besides that. he now continues. in
the name of the N. A. c., the cam
paign of SANDER which he began in
his notorious articles last summer
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-04-03
[. J.. P. Leaders Follow
Line Like Muste's
Against c. P.

U. S. S. r., 1t has been able to pre-
vent the outbreak of a new world
war. In England, too, the workers
have clearly shown by their struggle
against the war danger, against the
embargo, ETC.. that they realize that
the peace policy of the Soviet Union
fully accords with the class interests
of the workers of all countries and
they are therefore enthusiastically
supporting it.
Attacks U. S. s. R. Peace Policy
But it is precisely this fact that
does not please such left" re-
formist pacifist as Mr. Brockway.
In full conformity with the anti
Soviet ISLANDERS of the counter
revolutionary traitor Trotsky. he il
endeavoring to create a contrsdic-
ton between the peace policy Of the
Soviet Union and the interests Of
the workers movement in other
countries. In the letter Of the
N. A. C. he tries to suggest to the
members of the I. L. P. that the
peace policy of the U. S. S R and
Of the C P. S. U. allegedly means
temporarily sacrificing the revolu-
tionary movement" of other coun-
tries. He has the effrontery to make
the slanderous assertion that "the
C. I. is being driven to the position
of holding back militants in some
countries" and "of promising to re-
pudiate the essential activities OF its
own sections in others"
Every section Of the Comintern
knows that these assertions are
nothing but shameless lies. We
must ask who has empowered the
N, A. C. to write such unparalleled
ISLANDERS and what do the members
and the organizations of the I. L. P.
say about it? Their elementary rev.
dictionary duty demands that they
should decisively associate them
selves from these anti Communist,
anti-Soviet ISLANDERS.

Relief Cut by Y

Relief, No Cuts
By a Worker Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April IA
relief cut Of at least one-third will
go into effect in Cleveland and
Cuyahoga County here today.
At present, there are 8,122 fam
lilies on relief here. In addition,
$4,000 of the $4,000 who were on
c. w. A. at the close of last week
will be fired, Roosevelts C.W.A. Of
ficials stating that only 5000 will be
given jobs on Federal Work Relief.
Besides the 5000 who lost c. w.
A. jobs, more jobless are daily ap-
plying for relief than at any time
before. In order to keep these I'M
employed workers off the relief, a
vicious campaign is being carried on
against the Negro and foreign-born
workers, by threats of deportation
and arrest, and by open discrimina-
ton and intimidation.
Only $4,000 is available" for
relief during the month of April.
Out of this, $176,33O is set aside for
administration costs for this month,
leaving S736,670 for relief; $4,000
Of this still has to be raised for re-
lief through the sale of tax antici-
patton bonds.
Plenty of MOney-For Bankers
There is plenty of money avail
able. In 1882 and 1888 Cuyahoga
County paid out nearly $4,000, 900 on
bonds and interest to the bankers.
Millions more were paid by Cleve-
land and other villages, townships
and school boards to the bankers
on bonds and interest.
The city of Cleveland has just
deposited 100000 into Cleveland
banks, at the same time cutting re-
lief, laying off street cleaners, cut
ting down school service, etc.
The Cleveland Unemployment
Council sent delegation to Mayor
Davis today. demanding that this
100000 be turned over to provide
adequate relief to the unemployed
and that the Mayor endorse the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill CHR. 1899.
Delegations are also being elected
in the locals Of the Unemployment
Council and other workers organ
izations to go to the County Com
missioners and the County Relief
Board.
Preparations are being made for

were met inside the City Hall by the

To the Independent Labor Party
Comrades
The Ma tional Administrative
Council Of your Party has sent us
yet another letter, this time signed
by Mr.. Brockway. This letter, which
formally enquiries about the condi-
tons of utilization to the Commu-
mist International, consists for the
most part, however, of anti Com
munist and anti-Soviet ISLANDERS.
This proves that the NAG, already
at Derby opposing the line of as
sisting in the work of the c. T.
which the Conference adopted, still
continues its resistance against this
line.
In our two letters answering the
questions raised by the NAG, we
have already stated our opinion in
detail as to how the decision of
the Derby conference could be car
ried out. But as the members of
the Independent Labor Party, now
discussing the question of affilia-
ton, are particularly interested to
find out the details about the con-
ditions of affiliation to the Com
munist International, we willingly
explain this question.
A party that does not accept the
81 conditions and the program of
the Communist International is not
Communist Party and conse-
quently cannot be accepted by the
Communist International as one of
its Sections. But Socialist work
ers' party, which has not yet be-
come a Communist Party, like the
LIP, may, according to the statues
of the c. I. (Clase 49,, apply to the
Executive Committee of the Com
munist International to become af-
filiated to the G. I. as a party SYM
pathizing with Communism, with
the right of consultative vote.
