Resolved, That the conference
hereby expresses its deep interest in
the identification of the highway
approaches to the National Capital
and the preservation of the sightli-
ness of those approaches, and urges
upon the planning and zoning au-

concerned that in the layout and
coming of the main arterial highways
leading to and within the District
of Columbia this principle be pre-

properties zoned commercial or in

Barbados Go Up
As Police Attack
Danish Seamen
Many Hurt in Drive to
Smash Strike of the
Marine Workers

COPENHAGEN, April 19.-Barri-
cades were thrown up in the water
front sections of this city last night
as police carried out an armed Of
fensiye in an attempt to break the
strike of Danish seamen and fire
men.
Police opened their attack on a
mass meeting in solidarity with the
striking seamen, and in protest
against the ptlice terror. Many we're
injured, several seriously, among
them some of the attacking police.
The struggle continued outside
the hall, and when massed police
forces swarmed into the waterfront
neighborhoods, the workers threw
up barricades to defend themselves.
The police sent trucks crashing
through the barbados, and many
more workers and police were hurt
in the struggles.
A one-day general strike at Es-
bjerg, in sympathy with the strike,
paralyzed the whole city. The re-
formist leaders broke the strike
after one day, however, using the
police attacks in Copenhagen as the
pretext.

Workers Preparing for
Demonstrations
and Strikes

VIENNA, April 10. - The
energetic preparations of Aus
trian workers to turn May
Day into a mass anti-fascist
demonstration, and to respond
to the call of the Communist
Party fer a general strike against
the Dollfuss- Heimwehr dictatorship
have thrown the fascist government
into state Of alarm.
This is accentuated by the adj
mitted fact that less than four per-
cent of the Austrian workers have
joined the fascist trade unions, after
the outlawing OF all other trade
unions despite the fact that stav-
ing out of the fascist unions carries
serious economic disabilities.
A new terror wave, with mass ar
rests, is the fascist answer. More
than 200 workers were arrested in
a single day last week in Vienna
alone. Hundreds of arrests are
being made in all the industrial and
political centers of the country.

Struggles Greater Than
Ever AS Italian
Crisis Deepens
By ERCoLI

THE recent fascist plebiscite in
Italy was shrewdly planned and
organized attempt of fascism to in
fiuence the worker and peasant
masses of the country in period
when the situation is very serious,
in a period when the discomfort and
indignation of the masses are in
creasing from day to day.
Italian fascism also seeks to i'm
press international public opinion,
to give it an exhibition of power
which at the same time might serve
to accelerate fascist development
throughout the world. But this sec
ond purpose is secondary to Mus
solini's urgent need to dazzle, with
a stunning" electoral success, the
worker and petty bourgeois masses,
in order to attempt to put a brake
on their rehabilitation, to paralyse
their movements.
Critical Economic Situation
The gravity of the Italian situa-
ton arises first of all from the raw
ages of the crisis in the country's
economy. Italy's international trade
has dropped in five years to one
third of what it was; the export in
oiustries are largely idle. The fascists
have been compelled to admit for
three years the existence of mil
lion permanently unemployed. The
state budget has had an admitted
deficit Of three to four billions, and

effect upon the workers of this
country. The workers are in larger
numbers becoming aware of the
threatening danger of fascism and
imperialist war. They have shown
this by rallying in support of the
workers struggles in Germany and
Austria, and to lesser degree to the
revolutionary struggles of the masses
In Cuba. What is important for us
is to point out how this danger is
becoming more menacing in the U.
S. and that the leaders of the A. F.
of L. and the Socialist Party are.

preparing the way for fascism here
through their splitting of the work
ing class, through their class collab-
grafton policies through their back

New Deal.
1t is necessary to rally the work
ers in struggle not only against the
attacks Of capital on the living
standards of the employed and un-
employed workers, but also in the
struggle against fascism and inn
perialist war. AS part of this task
we must especially exert every eff
fort to fight for the needs of the
most exploited and oppressed, the
Negro toilers, and through the
united actions and black and white,
deal a blow to the whole program
Of the capitalists. It is also neces-
sary for the trade union militants
everywhere to take into considera-

Rising Struggles In Background Of Italian PIebiscite

the public debt is more than 100
billion Ira!
And all this despite the fact that
wages have been cut on the average
from 10 to so per cent, despite the
fact that practically none of the
unemployed receive any relief!
Glass Struggle Within Fascist
Organizations
How can wages be further cut,
after slashing them already 40 to
so per cent, when the indignation of
the masses is growing, and the num-
Der of mass actions, all of them
starting with the defense of the
workers living conditions, continues
to increase?
Let no one imagine that in fas-
cist Italy the class struggle has been
suppressed. The mass movements
develop in different manner than
in other countries. The fascist ter
ror has seriously weakened and ham
pered the leading role of the Com
munist Party and the red trade
unions. The terror puts brake on
the militancy of the masses, but the
development of mass movement
continues nevertheless, seeking to
utilize every possibility offered by
the very organizations of fascism,
as does the Party in its mass work.
New Wave of Struggles
In this field, some new events have
been recorded in recent weeks.
Economic demands of the work
ers have been raised openly in some
of the great assemblies which the
fascist burocrats arrange for the
purpose Of spreading their "corpor-
alive" demagogy to make prop

voting takes place in the presence
of the armed black-shirts, who fill
the whole polling place.
In a whole series of places, parti-
cularly in the countryside, the
masses were led to the polling booths
by fascist guards, who put the bal
lot in their hands and watched them
until the whole job was done.
"Vote No" Was C.P. Slogan
Despite this, our Party had issued
the slogan Of voting NO" and not
the slogan of boycotting the cleo
lions, which would be slogan of
capitulation and desertion.
The manner in which the fascist
terror ragged in the two months pre-
ceding the elections demonstrates
the fascists' fear of our action. In
Turin, the arrests began at the be-
ginning of February; hundreds and
hundreds of workers, comrades out
of prison, former socialists, non
party workers were thrown into
preventive" prisons in all the great
industrial centers and in the coun-
try, without any charge being made
against them. Despite all this, the
call of the Party reached the masses;
in many places it aroused en-
thusiasm.
Socialist Leaders Aid Fascists
The campaign organized by the
fascists around this plebiscite will
have its repercussions in the ranks
of the social-democracy. Many for
mer social democratic functionaries
took part in the fascist campaign OF
the glorihcation of the cooperative
regime. Some well-known elements

gogic appeals and through this
weaken the resistance of the work
ing class. Similarly with the grow
ing danger of fascism and a new
imperialist war the necessity for
winning the working women for the
struggle, especially for the trade
union front, becomes more urgent
than ever.
Soviet Union-Powerful Example
One Of the greatest weapons
toward winning the masses is bring
ing forward the example of the So
Wet Union Here is the land where
there is no unemployment, where
wages are constantly rising. where
the workers have full freedom,
where there exists full freedom for
all minorities. Why? Because there
the working class is in power. Be
cause the workers and peasants in
the Soviet Union smashed capital-
ism and are through their own eff
forts building Socialism. This les
son must be brought home to every
worker to every trade unionist-the
lesson of struggling for Soviet
power!
More than ever, we must oppose
the splitting policy of the capital
lists and their agents by the broad
and basic united front of the work
ers. In every shop, in every in
dustry, we must establish the fight
ing united front of the workers
against the attacks of capital, for
wage increases, for shorter hours,
without reduction in pay, for the

uganda for their theory" of class
collaboration which they borrowed
from social-democracy.
This has occurred in Rome, Boil
ogna, and elsewhere. In Turin, in a
mass meeting called by the fascists,
the elementary economic demands
of the unemployed were raised.
Many Spontaneous Actions
At the same time, the wave of
small actions which burst out spon-
taneously, sometimes without prep
aration, in the factories and the vii
lagos, q wave which began to rise
last year, continues. 1t is accom-
panied with constant increase of
what fascism calls individual
turns" that is to say, individual
protests by the worker against re-
auctions in his wages.
At times, these actions develop
into violent outbursts of popular
anger, as in the instance few days
ago in the South, when the NUM-
cipal hall was invaded by rebellious
workers.
Through the plebiscite, fascism
sought to show the masses that it
is still strong, extraordinarily
strong" that it fears nothing.
How Voting Was Forced
In reality, its fear is demonstrated
by the very method by which the
so-called popular consultation" was
organized. In order to vote, each
voter received two ballots, one for
yes" the other for mo" The two
ballots are different! The first is
tri-colored, the second is white, and

maintain resistance to fascism
have gone over to the pro-fascist
organization, "Problemi del Lavoro"
problems of Labor. In the cadres
of the social in emigra-
ton, decentralization and disarray
grows greater and greater. Before
the threat of an explosion of mass
indignation, new layer of social
democratic leaders is preparing to-
give its help to fascism in a still
more active manner than before.
Great Task of Party
But what is equally sure is That
the steady increase of mass indigna-
ton against the fascist dictatorship
cannot be halted. It will accelerate
to the degree in which our Party
succeeds in linking itself to the
masses, in leading them, in carrying
their present struggles for partial
demands forward toward greater
and more radical struggles. Our task
is very great, and not easy. But as
in 1929, at the time of the first fas-
cist plebiscite, the correct position
and the activity of our Party have
given the signal for the renewal of
the activity and struggles Of the
masses.
Today, in far more serious situ2-
ton, far more tense in every respect,
We must be prepared for explosions
of indignation. for open mass move
ments, which will have the deepest
effect on the situation In Italy. N,

first in the lines of march, and to
speak from the tribune about their
achievements.
Many factories are inviting groups
of collective farmers to the May
Day celebrations. Some factories
are preparing to hold international
entertainments in proletarian soil
darity with the participation of
worker delegations from other coun-
tries.
Celebrate Socialist Competition
May Day this year will be cele-
brated with special reference to the
fifth anniversary Of the institution
of socialist competition. This great
idea of Lenin was carried into prac-
tice for the first time in 1929 on the
initiative of Comrade Putin. a
worker in the "Krassny Viborj jets
factory in Leningrad.
The Moscow Soviet has approved
the plan of decoration of the city
for May Day celebrations, in which
the most prominent artists of the
red capital are taking part. Since
many streets and squares have been
eXcavated for work on the new sub
way, special attention will be given
to the illumination of the derricks
over the pits. There will be illumi-
mated slogans and emblems carried
by airplanes overhead.
Open-Air Theater Performances
Decorated open-air stages for mass
performances by the Moscow the
aters are being built on the chief
squares. The shop windows will
contain exhibits of the architectural
plans for the reconstruction of the
city and new pictures by Soviet
artists.
Each square and main street will
carry out a special theme in its
scheme of decoration. In Red Square
the theme will be the dictatorship
of the proletariat; in Revolution
Square, the defense of the Soviet
Union; in Pushkin Square, culture
and the press.
The workers Of the Moscow cleo
trio apparatus plant are showing
great resourcefulness in the artistic
decoration of the city for May First.

Negro toilers, ETC., irrespective of
their trade union and political af-
fllations. Such a united front, to
be effective, must, however, be
based on the program of the class
struggle and carry on the most stub
born fight against every labor bu-
reaucrat.
Finally, in our preparation for
May Day we face the test of ex-
posing the false slogan of neutrality
and no politics in the trade unions
The acceptance of such slogans
means in reality to accept the poll
tics of the capitalists. We must
show to the workers that the logic
OF the struggle for even the most
elementary needs of the workers
leads to the struggle against CAPT.
tallsm, that the workers must pre-
pare themselves for this struggle,
and that the Communist Party is
the only Party of the working class
which fights both for the immedi-
ate interests of the workers, and
at the same time prepares them
for the abolition of the whole sys-
tenn of capitalist exploitation.
