COLLIE RS TRY
NEW STUNT

Mrs. Noble J. Waldron, women's
golf chairman at Beaver Dam,
tried a new feature for the
women's ''field day" there yester-
day. Named the New Deal"
tournament, scores of the AZ con-
testants were placed in a hat and
the six winners thus drawn. By
SO doing, beginners were given a
chance for prizes as well as the
more experienced.
Another interesting angle to the
tournament was the fact that
all puts for the nine-hole tourna-
ment were deducted from the
gross score but the net score in
no wise affected the winners,
since these were drawn.
The first six names to be
drawn in their order were Mrs.
C. P. Nutwen, 66-23, 43; T. W.
Perkins, 62-23, 80; Mrs. Carl

Levine and Thomas

WHEN Isaac don Levine, fascist writer
" for William Randolph Hearst, and an
open supporter of the campaign of assassi-
nation, sabotage and destruction in the
Soviet Union, appeals to Norman Thomas,
for united front, We must point out that Norman
Thomas hastens to reply.
On Dec. H. 1884, Levine addressed an open letter
to Norman Thomas in the New York Times It took
Thomas just two days to answer. When the Com
munist Party appeals to the National Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party for a united front
against the slaughter of 900 Spanish workers $50
cialsts and Communists by Spanish fascsm, no
answer is forthcoming to date. Only general reply
is given that the matter will be taken up as a
tional issue some time in 1885,
Levine wants Thomas to lead united front
protest against the execution of the Czarist and
fascist scum in the Soviet Union. We must also
point out that the same Levine in the Harst press
of Dec g 1884 openly approves of the assassination
of Comrade Kirov. He furthermore predicts in
creased aSsassinations declaring, They have now
struck a blow at the inner camarls as warning
to the Stain regime the aim of all these (coun-
ter-revoutionary) groups have certain demands in
common, and the world is apt to hear more and
more from them"
The targets of the asssssns aided and abetted
by Levine ARE Stain and his associates" he de-
clares.
Levine. enthusiastically supports such Czarist
elements in the U, S. who issue the Fascist" eX-
tracts Of which were published in the Daily Worker
yesterday. The fascist" calls for assassination,
terror sabotage, pilaging, dynamiting and any form
of murder and destruction to stop the advance of
Socialist construction in the USSR.
To lover of liberty" of this stripe Norman
Thomas answers: "AS a Socialist and nterna-
tionalst, however, I have in speech and writing,
with great emphasis, made plain my condemnation
of these wholesale executions in Russia without
trial, or at least without trial that has been
ported to the western world"
Thomas does not protest against the Czarist
assassns against the assistance given them by
American capitalism and fascist forces throughout
the world. He does not protest against Algernon
Lees united front with forces calling for the
slaughter of the leaders in the land of Socialism.
He takes the trouble to reply to openly admitted
fascist calling on Thomas to form united front.
But the fact that such deSpicable Czarst and
fascist agents as Levine and other white guard
dregs become the most enraged and aroused over
the executions the fact that the leading scab forces
in the United States are the most fervent in dis
approving and fearing them, should be the guild
ing light to the American workers.

SUPPORT the Students!

THE center of the anti-fascist struggle
in the colleges today is on the campus
of City College of New York AS re-
suit of the anti-fascist demonstration of
Oct g. in which CC.N.Y. students pro-
tested President Robinsons welcoming delegation
Of athletes from Fascist Italy, twenyone students
remain expelled, ten suspended, and the Student
Council is still disbanded.
Student mass meetings, petitions, delegations, and
two-hour strike drove the faculty, which voted
the action to meet again recently to reconsider"
Although the faculty at this meeting fully aware
that the Italian students had come to spread fas-
cist propaganda Ca fact which it had previously
denied it voted to reaf1rm its oppressive acts
When few quietly and scholarly voice disagree
ment with fascisn, in the opinion of the faculty
that is all right; but when great masses express
their vigorous resistance to fascist propaganda ra-
tional men will not be "coerced"
Today at P. NJ, the American League Against
War and Fascism leads mass delegation to &C.
NY. to demand the ousting of President Robinson
and the reinstatement Of the thirty disciplined
students All working class organizations should
support this delegation. Go up to the City College
campus, 10th Street and Convent Avenue Cmeet
at the flagpole) today at ! D. m. Let the C.CNY
students that the workers are with them in their
struggle against the march of fascism on the col
lege campus.

To All Workers and
Farmers in Uniform

IRON the Mortified opinions expressed in
the Dickstein Committee, anybody who
tries to remind soldiers and sailors that
they are sons of workers and farmers in
the armed forces of Wall Street imperial
ism is committing a crime.
We can well understand why the rich parasites
of this country, preparing world slaughter,
do not want the boys in the army and navy to
know for whose profit they are to be asked to lay
down their lives and get unknown soldiers
monument in return, if their corpse is unrecogniz
able.
After all the final bulwark between capitalist
barbarism and the Socialist society is the armed,
open brutal force of capitalism And the capitalists
know and fear most the contradiction that these
armed forces are composed OF the of the toll
ing masses For the soldiers and sailors to know the
true significance of the class struggle and the role
they are called to play would be indeed disastrous
to the parasitic rich, to the bloodsuckers of the
toiling masses to the war-mongers to those who
rake in $4,000 per cent war profits.
Capitalism always wants to deprive the soldiers
and sailors of not only s political rights but of the
least shred of political intelligence To do and die
and not to ask the reason why, has always been
the injunction of the property owners to the SOL
diers and sailors.
Inc COMMUNIST fdIGy Will always appear TO The
National Guard the boys from factory Office and
farm not to shoot down their brothers strike for
higher wages, improved working conditions.
The Communist Party will always appeal to the
proletarian and farming class brothers in the army
and navy to take stand against the miserable op-
pressive conditions forced on them, to remember
they sons of the workers. to learn from the last
imperialist slaughter, and to understand for what
purposes Wall Street is preparing new blood
hail
population.
The employers, the bankers, the rich, all the ex-
ploters of labor want unhinking, murderous robots
in the army and navy. The Communist Party
appeals to the intelligence and class-consciousness
of the workers and farmers in uniform.

Relief Needs and the
National Congress

TWO weeks remain and the historic Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment In
surance will convene in Washington. Every
indication points to this coming congress
as the most tremendous united front move
ment yet launched in the United States These
two facts alone should galvanize every member of
the Communist Party into instant action.
The central immediate task in the congress
preparations is the local fight against the continu
Gus attacks on the unemployed in every locality.
Relief rolls are pared; minimum FERA wages have
been abandoned, blow which is especially aimed at
the Negro masses in the South and which at the
same time rebounds as a threat against the very
bread and butter OF 100000 other workers Side
by side with the Roosevelt relief retrenchments has
gone a continued wave Of terror against the Job
less
Into this struggle must be brought the full forces
of the workers groups that have signed their sup
port of such struggle by the constant campaign
they have Waged for the enactment of the Workers
Bill.
The Communists in the trade unions in the
fractions and in the leadership of the unemployed
organizations must swing into action all these forces
uniting the movement behind the program Of the
National Congress for immediate relief needs and
for genuine unemployment insurance.
The question facing the employed and unem-
ployed alike was phrased cogently in the leading
editorial of the Daily Worker on Dec. 4: "The
amount of relief the unemployed get the question
of action unemployment insurance, the whole
problem of what the Roosevelt regime will or will
not do for the unemployed depends the nature
and extent of the fight carried by the unem-
ployed"-and should be craven in the minds of
every Communist.
An intensive campaign must be waged daily at
the relief stations against any attempt to further
slash relief, for Winter aid and for general relief
increases to meet rising costs of food and
stiles.
The broad support rallied behind the National
Congress for Unemployment Insurance is clear
indication of the mood of the masses for struggle.
This broad support and the local struggles are the
main foundations of the great National Congress
and the central points around which the Con-
gress deliberations will revolve.
The tasks here and now in each locality are
tasks which must be waged with the best forces of
the Party leading and organizing the struggles for
immediate relief needs.

Fight the NeaV DriVe
Against the JobIeSS

THE policy which the leading Wall Street
industrialists expect the Roosevelt gov
eminent to pursue towards the jobless
workers was made clear by them yester-
day in the reports which have come from
their secret conference at White Sulphur Springs.
1t is the British dole" system which all the
various groups among them have finally agreed on.
That is what they will propose for Congressional
action and to Roosevelt.
The advocacy of this vicious system known in
Britain as the Means Test, is full confirmation of
the fact which the Daily Worker has been hammer
ing home since the National Association of Manu-
facturers two weeks ago revealed its concerted drive
to smash all relief appropriations in every section
of the country
The Means Test" system of the "dole" is per-
fecty adapted for this latest brutal drive against
the unemployed.
The Means Test" involves the dropping of every
worker for all relief unless he prove after going
through deliberately prolonged and humilating
examination, that not single member Of his
family, however distant, has any of support.
If single member of the family is unearthed with
some kind of starvation income somewhere then
all relief is shut off!
This system dooms millions of workers to abso-
lutte restitution and starvation. 1t will act like
whip to drive hundreds of thousands of workers
and their families to levels of misery which have
never been seen before in this country.
This new proposal of the industrialists is the
first on which they have achieved united 'front.'
down in White Sulphur Springs. Leading mo-
nopolists and bankers like John j. RaSkob, Owen
D. Young, Henry L. Hartman, Sias Strawn and
others are now whipping other reactonary meas
ures into shape for immediate action.
The millions of iobess the millions more work
ing at precarious jobe for starvation wages, must
form their own united front This is the only way
to beat back the approaching attack of the capt.
talist monopolists laying their plans for Con-
gressional execution. The National Congress for
Social and Unemployment Insurance to meet at
Washington January to is the place where the
working class will weld its own united front against
the employers
Against the vicious British dole" system, with
its brutal and humiliating means test" we de-
mand the Workers Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill which provides for Federal social and
unemployment insurance at not less than $40
week for every obless worker in the country to be
paid for by the government and the bosses!
We demand the 30-hour week, with no cut in
pay! We demand that the rich be heavily taxed
that the government stop all payments to the
bankers, and that all funds be turned over for
demand the right to organize and strike for better
conditionsl
Answer the miserable dole" proposal of the in
dustrialists! Support the National Congress for
Social and Unemployment Insurance!

and recruits. This was also the basis
for the shifting of the strongest
troops of the Red Army out OF the
Central Soviet Districts in such a
way as to break through the various
fortified fronts of the enemy, in
order to conduct their military OPP
erations from more favorably Sit
uated provinces.
These new tactics of the Red
Army, which grow ever stronger UNI
der the new relationships of the i'm
mediate struggle, have resulted, as
partially carried out in the last four
tC five months, in considerable new
successes. With the correct and sub
sequent carrying out of these tactics
by the Red Army in the future not
only will they serve finally to beat
back this 9Th campaign of Chang
Kai-Shek but will raise to pow
erful plane our common fight to win
the decisive victory of the Soviet
revolution all China.

road through the Indian timber
reserve and thereby will get money
to build same from the Indian de-
partment.
9Th. It is not the policy of the
Indian department to appropriate
money for roads except in the In
dian territory, and where it will tap
Indian resources.
9TH. Through Mr.. Laycock know
ing that the state has no money
to build road to the dam from
the Okanogan valley at the present
time, he has taken the only course
left open to him, or anyone else by
using what money he has or will get
for his district on this road, and
then get help from the Indian de-
partment to finish said work.
9th. The Indian department has
started and built a good highway
from the dam and is now survey
ing and will start construction on
the balance of the road into Mes
pelem, early in November.
If the people of Okanogan valley
want road to the dam it is our
opinion that this is the shortest
route and the quickest built and the
least expensive of any road that
can be built.
