gage holders? Will it cancel all
mortgage debts which the banks
hold over the heads of the ruined
and impoverished farmers? viii it
defend the right to organize and
strike for better wages, against the
speed-up and wage-cutting of the
N, R. A. codes? Will it fight the
reactionary terrorism against pick
cts, against all violations of civil
rights? VIII 1t combat race hatred,
lynching, and national oppression
Of minorities?
Above all, will it weaken the
power of the Wall Street capital
lists, the banks, the employers and
landlords, and will it strengthen
the cause of the working class
fighting to abolish the capitalist
system of private profit, will it help
to establish the power of the work
ing class in Workers and Farm
ers Government?
No Mass Action
The first thing to notice in
Coughlin's program is that he very
carefully avoids anything that will
bring the workers together in in
dependent mass actions against
their exploiters. All the blessings
which Coughlin promises are to be
Won not by mass struggles, but by
a process of believing" Coughlin
Is very careful to keep the workers
within the bounds of the capitalist
parties, his application pledge for
the Union Of Social Justice stating
very carefully that IT pledge my
self to publicize these principles in
dependent of political party ."
the conclusion being that the work.
ers do not have to leave the Re-
publican or Democratic Parties to
fight against Wall Street.
Secondly, Coughlin's platform, if
any action is to be taken at all by
the workers, is purely in the form
of lobbying of Congress. And
this lobbying" will not take the
militant form OF mass marches,
demonstrations, such as the bonus
march or the hunger rSarch, but
rather of Father Coughlin's per-
sonal lobbying in secret conferences
with capitalist Congressman.
The first question, then, that
every worker should ask himself is,
why is it that Coughlin is opposed
to independent class action by the
working class against all capitalist
parties?
Why is it that Coughlin never
urges the workers to go out to or
ganize and fight for their needs in
strikes, demonstrations, protests,
etc? Why does he never urge his
listeners to join with their fellow
workers to demand, in mass ac-
tons, the granting of their class
needs?
The Communist Party organizes
the working class to fight for its
needs, to demand cash relief, to
stop evictions and foreclosures, to
strike for better wages and against
speed-up.
The Wall Street group that sup
ports Cougfllin hates and fights the
Communist Party. But they pay
for the radical" Coughlin who is
supposed to be fighting Wall Street
Is it not clear, then, that here
we have the first basic reason why
Coughlin gets Wall Street support
that his opposition" to Wall
Street and the capitalists is merely
in words, that his opposition" will
not reduce Wall Street profits OF
power by a single cent, that he
keeps the masses from fighting
against Wall Street in united, class
action.
Tomorrow we shall examine
Coughlin's ideas in further de-
tail.

There also is q possibility that the

The airplane has proved almost in
dispensable to the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey in its survey and map
making work. Arrangements now are
being made to turn over one of the
airplanes from Mr.. Martins division
to the survey for trial in making
aerial photographs along the coast
line.
"The Bureau of Fisheries" Martin
reported, should find in the airplane
valuable means Of investigating
food supplies and fishing grounds, and
aircraft should also be useful for
transportation and surveys in the
administration of the salmon fisheries
in Alaska and in enforcing sponge
laws of the coast Of Florida"
The immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service Of the Labor Depart
ment, it was said, could transport
its field officers by air to advantage.
A complete aerial Photographic
map of the United States would be
of value to many agencies. including
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, in supervising interstate car
riers, it was stated. The Federal
Power Commission, Federal Com
munications Commission and the two
international Boundary Commissions
also could use Photographic maps
and air surveys, as could the Inland
Waterways Corporation.
The Board Of Surveys and Maps
of the Federal Government, which
co-ordinates the activities Of a score
of governmental mapping agencies,
would benefit greatly from an aerial
Photographic map Of the country,
which also would be Of great value
to State, county and city govern

In further reply to the Fess attacks

Furthermore, it is generally known
that the Farley speech viii be the only
one he will make in Ohio during the
present election campaign because OF
other engagements. Therefore, ar
rangements are being made for an i'm

Donahey and Platform.
Vic Donahey, Democratic senatorial
candidate against Simeon D. Fess, has
indicated he will take no active part
In the framing of the Democratic
State platform, although he has
signified he will attend the conven-
ton. Known throughout Ohio as
Honest VIC" Donahey has his own
unique way of campaigning by keep
ing in close touch with his legion OF
friends, and his opponents reluctantly
admit his methods are very effective.
So far Donahey has ignored the
charges of his Republican opponent.
In the meantime FeSS is losing no
time hammering at the recovery pro-
gram, and Is quoted as denouncing
in his recent Findlay speech the corn
hog program as actually lowering
prices. He claimed that "the people
have surrendered their rights, &C
cuses President Roosevelts admins
tration and his leaders of discrimi-
mating against Ohio" and refers to
members of Congress as yes" men
and to Congress itself as rubber
Congress"
In his reply to Senator Fess Repre-
sentative Fletcher declared that at the
moment Fess was talking to his Find
lay audience the Chicago Tribune
chart showed that hogs were selling
at more than double what they had
been selling for two months previous.
So far as dictatorship is concerned,
Representative Fletcher stated in reply
to Fess that there cannot possibly be
any serious danger of Roosevelt die
tatorship when what authority he has
for carrying out the recovery program
that was not already granted Roose-
welt by the Constitution was practically
unanimously granted him by the united
votes of both Republican and Demo-
cratic members Of Congress and which
grant of authority in many instances
designated O definite time limit.
Furthermore, Fletcher added, should
danger Of dictatorshio become menac-
