On the Saar Question

60 far advanced are Hitler's plans for the
~ seizure of the Saar by either election
trickery or armed force, or both that the
Nazi forces have already picked their vic
tins in the Saar for execution AS the
plebiscte January 13 draws nearer the activities
among German fascist armed bands in the Saar and
on the German border become more feverish, Great
ing the danger Of a new mperalist war, and new
fascist attack on the Saar population.
Hitler recognizes in the Saar one of the great
est tests of the future of Fascist rule in Germany
defeat for Hitler in the Saar will be mighty
lever speeding the movement for the overthrow of
fascism in Germany. victory in the Saar for
Hitler with its subsequent armed invasion will bring
war closer.
The Communist Party in the saar working in
the rapidly growing united 'front.' calls for support
for the status quo Ghe existing administration by a
Commission of the League of Nations) in the pie
biScte voting the best of the three alternatives
for continuing the revolutionary struggle against
fascism and for the ultimate inclusion of the Saar
in a proletarian Germany. The other alternatives
are union with the present fascist Germany or with
France.
In this respect We must point to an error in the
news columns of the Daily Worker, which, referring
to the movements Of the French General Staff in
relation to the Saar carried the headline: French
Army Is All Set to Grab saar" The French i'm
perallsts now have control of the economic life OF
the Saar. The true instigator of the armed seizure
of the Saar is German Fascism. The French i'm
peralists are using the pretext of the Nazis armed
preparation for seizure Of the Saar to mobilize their
army for action in the Saar
The main enemy in the Saar is German Fas-
cism which threatens not only to extend the BLOODY
rule of Hitler to the Saar but to use the Saar as
source of strengthening Fascism in Germany. To
defeat Fascism in the saar, by fighting for the
Status quo, and against union with either France or
Germany, is the main task from which base
the revolutionary struggle can be carried to higher
levels to greater tasks to the ultimate overthrow
OF FaSclSm IN Germany and the merging OF the
Saar with the victorious German proletarian rev.
olution.

problems OF starvation and misery.
But until the majority of the workers see this
also, until the poor farmers and the broad middle
class supports these aims, the Communists would
not attempt to set up workers government When
the majority Of the American working class has
convinced itself of the correctness of the Commu-
mist views when the oppressed farmers and middle
class sees this course the only way out then the
American working class will seize power and set up
its own government.
But this IS not now the problem, and the en-
ployers press knows It. In the present dyers strike
the immediate problem is the winning of all the
demands of the dye workers strike
For this aim, the Communist Party mobilizes all
its forces All workers-whether Communists So

quickest and most effective way. Only by such
unity and solidarity can the strike be won The

(Conclusioul

We shall not contradict the chief
principle of this appeal, since the
organization of united international
action of the working class has been
difficult problem for longer than
the tragic history of the last ten
years. Imagine, the Communists,
however, have aggravated the diff
culties of this problem, as for in
stance, when they made proposals
for united action to that party from
which Noske and zorgiebel are des-
cended. We shall not contradict as
well the other ideas that in France
lengthy proceedings were necessary
to bring about united action in the
working class. Why these difficulties
should stand in the road of united
proletarian action can be better ex-
planned than by the generally recog-
nized leader of the French Social
Democracy, Leon Blum, who in a
self-critical mood declared:
For whole year, whenever
unity of action was spoken of, we
always pondered and said: No,
no united action or organic unity
and sought to delay every OppOr-
tunity for partial or occasional
unity up to this day and to evade
complete or uninterrupted unity
wherever possible. myself was of
this opinion and spoke in this
manner. / have the feeling that
this point of view is no longer
tenable and it is no longer pos
sible to draw any difficulties out
of this simple subterfuge.'
1t is not necessary to contradict
the principle in this appeal that
lin the international sphere the diff
f1culties of overcoming great diff
ferences are naturally greater than
in individual countries"
Precisely because of this the Com
munist International in the previ-
Gus year after Hitler's rise to power
broadcast an appeal for united ac-
ton against Hitler -fascism and fas-
cism elsewhere to the Social Demo-
cratic and Communist Parties in
the individual countries. The Second
International is compromised to the
highest degrees in connection with
this new acknowledgement in that
1t did not last year disavow and
recall in every country its prohibit
tion of organizing united action.
The explanation yanderveIde

action and the united deeds Of the
proletariat in wordy sea of dip
lomatic negotiations.
The international proletariat will
find the road OF united interna-
tional action in saving the lives of
the Spanish defenders of freedom,
who are faced with the beStiality of
the Lerroux regime. The Commu-
mist Parties, which allow themselves
to be frightened as little from the
battlefield of united action by coarse
refusalS as by diplomacizing, will
undertake everything possible to
prevent further bloodshed by the
myrmidons of the counter -revolu-
ton, and this before the 18th of
November. They are turning also to
individual Social-Democratic parties
and to individual Social Democratic
organizations. These may well fol-
low the example of the French So
cialists and in spite of every prohi-
bition of the Second International,
create the conditions for an imme-
diate and united successful struggle
in behalf of the Spanish proletariat
against the bloody rule of the mon
archist-fascist counter revolution
The Communists are turning to all
Social-Democrats who consider
themselves fighters Of capitalism,
who need hold only this supreme
precept before their eyes: The in
terests of the proletarian class it
self, the international solidarity of
the whole international working
class.
Who are the ones if not the eader-
ship of the Second International, to
postpone critical decisions without
any basis, by tricks of formality and
negligence? You are the disloyal
ones. You carry on only maneuvers.
You are anxious to slip into our or
ganizations. You are willing to enter
united action with our membership
with the proviso that they break
party discipline!
Who are the ones to be con-
cerned about loyalty? To whom
shall the workers be loyal? Shall
the international working class be
loyal to the heroic class Of the
Spanish proletariat, whose lives
interest, whose naked lives require
an immediate foundation for
united action? Or shall it be loyal
to thcse-we say-who are afraid
to oppose the hangman's regime
of Lerroux in the face of their
own bourgeoisie, either in or out
side of parliaments?
The Communist and Social
Democratic workers will advance,
without any decisions on the part
Of the Second International, to-
ward united action for the sup
| port of the Spanish proletariat.

Second International Spurns Unity
Proposals To Aid Spanish Workers

deploring the impossibility of any
common ground concerning Spain
and the fair hopes held out that
"our meeting may produce impor-
tant results" are unintelligible to
the workers who are members of
the Socialist Parties, and to the
bleeding workers of Spain they
stand as signs that the Trade
Union Committee of the Second
International is unwilling to full
fill the two most important sup
positions of effective help for the
workers of Spain, is unwilling to
concede the urgency fer the uni
fication of all action of the inter
national proletariat.
Deliberate Delay
WHAT prevents the Executive of
W the Socialist and Labor Inter
national from convoking their ses-
sion Immediately instead of waiting
for the 18th of November? The
parties of the Sill. are, with very
few exceptions, legal parties whose
representatives will find the borders
of all bourgeois countries open to
them. In the ranks of the Second
international are influential politi-
clans, who, inside and outside of the
bourgeois governments, as we'll as
the hunted representatives of the
illegal Communist Parties, are able
to make the journey to an immedi-
ately convoked council, meeting
with the Executive of the Sill.
Action Demanded
THE Communist International has
set no special conditions to the
accomplishment of united action.
The sole condition for the unif1ca-
ton of action is action itself, the
struggle for the Spanish proIetariat
and against the murderous Spanish
government. In the event that the
leaders of the Second International
deny or avoid the Communist
critique or the Communist handling
of the question, let them read in the
appeal of the Comintern of March
5th, 1888, with which they are we'll
enough familiar, that the Commu-
nists desire "to consider means of
approach with the Social-Demo-
cratic organizations for the time of
the common struggle against capital
and fascism."
They are also familiar with the
lessons of united action in France
They can at least apply to the
French Socialist leaders for infor-
nation as to whether or not the
Communists have Loyalty carried

munists-the Communist Interna-
tional, as well as its secticns-are

Party Life
Group Meetings
And Daily Worker
In Recruiting

IN THE letter to all Party men,
L bers, addressed to us by the Cen
trail Committee, we were asked for
suggestions on recruiting members
into the Party.
In our section, in Montana, we
have been using the following meth
cd for the last month with very
good success not only in getting
members to sign up but in getting
them to be active members through
a real understanding of the Party.
At unit meeting the members
discuss prospective members or peo-
pie who they think would make good
Party members. Then two or three
members, together with the Section
Organizer, call at the homes of
these workers and ask the prospec-
tive member to at end a meeting
at some neighbor's home to become
acquainted with the Party activi-
ties. We explain that they are not
under any obligations to join, They
are told to bring along any ques-
tions they would like to ask.
At the meeting that evening the
Section Organizer explains the poll
cies of the Communist Party, also
describing how the unit, the Sec
lion and the district work. This is
not done by making a speech, but
just through a conversation, using
language that the workers under
stand and will not resent as high
flown"
We find that even though the
farmers and workers have read
many pamphlets there are many
things they do not understand and
they ask all sorts of questions which
we make it our business to answer
as clearly as possible.
We find that after these meet
ings there are always some new
members to sign up, and those who
do not join go home with friendly
feeling toward the Party, and we
feel sure they will join later.
We find that very often when an
individual member approaches a
prospective member and gets into
a discussion with him, he antag-
onizes him and it takes a lot of
work to overcome that antagonism.
We must be very patient and try to
convince and persuade workers into
joining our Party.
At the group meeting of workers
which we hold we also try to ex-
plain the importance of the press
and pamphlets, try to get Subscrip-
tions for the. Daily Worker and
other Communist papers. We also
discuss our Party election program
and candidates.

A Cut, Not an Increase

DOOSEVELT, under the astute guidance
IL of the Tammany- trained politician,
Farley, misses no bets when it comes to
picking up votes. Having just finished ex-
plotting, to the highest degree possible
the state relief auotments for vote-catching pur-
poses he now proposes to transform some 100000
government employees into active Roosevelt election
boosters
He is attempting to accomplish this by pronlis-
ing to restore the per cent wage cut that he put
through last year. For campaign purposes he
parades as wage increase what is actually planned
as a further cut in the real wages of the federal
employees
What are the facts? Near the end of his ad-
ministration, Hoover cut the wages of the govern
msnt workers by 1-S per cent Roosevelt cut their
wages by an additional per cent, as part of his
so-called new deal Through his inhatonary pol
icie living costs were boosted 143 per cent accord
ing to the inadequate figures Of the National In
dustrial Conference Board.
This meant further cut in wages, and tre-
mendous increase in the prices that the workers
had to pay for the necessities Of life. According to
the source mentioned above the price of food and
clothing went up 80 per cent due to this robbery OF
the workers
Now Roosevelt proposes to return the per cent
wage cut But when? In July of next year. And in
the meantime he frankly states his intention of
forcing further increases in the cost of living In
other words he proposes to reduce real wages.
Roosevelt's wage-cut disguised as a restoration
of pay is typical of his whole program. To fall for
this election campaign stunt is to help him put
his capitalistic program
Help smash his hunger plans for the workers by
electing Communist candidates to Office. They
would expose such fake moves as his proposed wage

the shipowners, to slaughter
and slug the workers?
When it comes to Shiny
hypocrisy, Mr.. Moses gets
the prize. Moses's only
contribution to an under
standing of the situation
a contribution which arises
out of Mr.. Moses's close con-
nection with all forces of cor
ruption - is his information
t h at Governor Lehman's
responsibility is undeniable
because of his close associa-
tion and reliance on the cor
rupt Albany Democratic
Party city administration.
But why did this unex-
ampled terror of the Hitler
type against unemployed
workers take place just at
this time in Albany? Is it an
accident of mismanagement
Of the police department ?
Not at all! The Albany
brutal attack is the express
sion of the policy of the
Roosevelt government in its
herculean efforts to smash
down relief, to save profits
for the employers in the face
of the coming winter of
growing unemployment, and
consequent rise in the strug-
giles of the unemployed.
That is why the Roosevelt
government is now trying to
cover up its leading role in
the Albany butchery by ex-
pressing sham indignation at
the treatment of the unem-
ployed after they were as
saulted. The Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration
sheds crocodile tears now
over the fact that the wound
ed and blood d-dripping work
ers were forced to sleep out
in the open on a wind-swept
hill.
No, that can't cover UP

velt. The attack in Albany

acting for his close friend
Roosevelt, of the bloody at

time the response of indigna-

the next day in order to

Pvts. Callahan and Churchill of the
United States Army need not pay for
an unwanted boat ride from Panama
to the Virgin Islands. Army red
tape" almost cost them S12333.
The Assistant Secretary of War,
Harry H. Woodring yesterday ap-
proved an opinion by the Judge Advo-
cate Generals Office that the two
privates had been taken on the ride
against their will and should not have
to pay the S123.33 out of their S30-a-
month pay.
The two men, stationed at Fort
Randolph, Canal Zone, went sailing
September 10, 1898, and were caught
in storm and carried out to sea.
After drifting helplessly for seven days
they were picked up by the steamship
Franz Klasen. Churchill was uncon-
scious and Callahan in a delirious con-
ditlon.
The steamer, bound for Germany,
deviated from its course at the re-
quest of the commanding officer az
Fort Randolph and landed the men
at st. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The
steamship company presented bill TO
the Government for s123,33 to cover
actual landing expenses. making no
charges for food, transportation, medi-
cal care or other expenses.
There was nothing in Army regula-
tions to cover the unusual case, and
Callahan and Churchill were on the
verge of being stuck" for the ride
