security or tne type Wnicn hD expected to come up for action in Congress this winter, suppOrt- cd by President Roosevelt and his New Deal leaders, stressing Unemployment and health insnr. ance and old age pensions.
 By MILTON BRoNNER
 fNEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London, Oct 10- Uncle Sam, giving serious thought to unemploy- ment insurance health insurance and old age pensions, may learn g thing or two from John Bull.
 And that President Roosevelt is fully aware of that fact he ind cated strongly in his recent mes sage to the American people when he asked: "1s 1t not g fact that ever since the year 1909 Great Britain in many ways has advanced further along lines of social secur- ity than the United States?'
 The president cited England as one nation which has done every thing in its power to overcome the depression, instead of standing by with a do-nothing policy relations 0eLWGeu Cdpltdt uAu toNPSA more advanced in England on the basis of collective bargaining than in America, he pointed out.
 Finally, he declared that 1t was not strange that the British press could tell his compatriots that much of the New Deal program IS only an attempt to catch up with British reforms that date back to a decade or more.
 Britain Showed Way.
 Great Britain was the first country to have a big nationwide compulsory unemployment insur- ance scheme. It has experienced the difficulty in estimating the number of people who would draw benefits hereunder. It has paid and paid, for 15 years, enormous sums to keep the scheme going
 Some such legislation had been discussed by both Tory and Lib eral parties for years. But 1t was the young Lloyd George, then chancellor of the exchequer in a Liberal cabinet, who actually had law passed.
 He was famous for his social conscience. Sprung from the peo- pie, he felt for the people.

Rally for Unity of Black
and White

DEPORTS from Shelbyville, Tennessee,
sierra and violence against the Negro
population.
The savagery of the mob is terrible re-
minder that lynch terrorism and violence rising
rapidly against the Negro masses throughout the
South. This terrorism is not something apart from
the general increase in violence against the whole
working class It is an intensified part of this rising
fascist reaction whose source other than the
capitalist state with the Roosevelt administration
at its head.
Three lynch leaders were actually killed and
eraI others wounded by shots fired into the mob
by National Guardsmen and Lieutenant Colonel
John R. Stark, in command of the troops hastens
to assure the lynchers that every shot that
fired by the guardsmen was fired in self-defense."
1t would be a pitiful illusion to imagine that the
sending of troops was an act in defense of the Negro
prisoner or the Negro people. The mob allowed
to wreak its fury the Negro section of the town,
firing Negro hotel and Unfortunately beating up
men, women and children. The unrestrained fury
of the mob in it's attack on the guardsmen and the
courthouse was more than the lynch incitng press
had bargained for.
The only reason that the troops were ordered to
fire on the lynchers was that the bloodthirstiness
and savagery of the mob had reached such I'M
bridled fury that the whole prestige of the govern
ment well as the interests of property had be-
come involved, There is no doubt at all that the
capitalist court would have carried through swift
and merciless legal lynching Of the framed Negro.
What the mob wanted a speedier and
gruesome murder. And this is the only difference
between the court and the lynch mob. 1t was the
dignity of the law that was protected-the Negro
quarters were left completely at the mercy Of the
mob
Proof that the protection" demanded against
the mob was not protection in the interests of
the Negro population is given by the latest reports
from Shebyville which tell of the proposed forma-
ton Of vgilante" committees of the best citizens"
to restore the processes of the law. This is the
capitalist law used against the entire working class
and to rush innocent Negroes to a swift, legal
murder.
1t is the Roosevelt government it is the whole
state apparatus of the capitalists with their schools
and press, that spills lynch poison and Indictment
into the minds of the white toiers to up the
slavery and oppression that pauperizes black and
white. Does not the Roosevelt A. A. A. incite lynch
terrorism against the Negro troopers in the South?
Do not the N. r. A. codes fasten the chains of ma
tional oppression through differentia wage scales?
The increasing miseries CT the crisis are being
used by the capitalists and landlords to ncte the
hungry against the hungry, the oppressed against
the oppressed, the white against the black 1t is
only in the unity Of black and white of the working
class and all oppressed groups that the chains of
wage slavery and national oppression can be broken

The Wall Street Program

IN THE way he is handling the proposed
program for recovery, which was pre-
pared by a secret conference of the coun-
try's industrialists, Roosevelt is once again
showing himself an exceedingly astute
agent Of Wall Streets monopolies.
Yesterdays press made a deliberately large
splash OF the way the economic proposals Of the
industrialists were "rebuffed."
The purpose Of all this side-show is quite OBJ
vously to try to impress the population with the
subterfuge that these powerful Wall Street indus
trialists have little to say in the White House
What makes the whole spectacle even more
ridiculous is the fact that Roosevelt, while he
stages this rebuff" is actually preparing to carry
through most of the policies which the indus
trialists propose. He has already made clear
that he will "revise" the NR.A. in precisely the
direction which the industrialists now demand,
in the direction of direct control Of the gov
eminent agencies by the monOpOlies.
Roosevelt may easily make grandstand play
now of refusing to see the industrialists' spokes-
man; but what of the private meetings he held
all last month and this with the biggest Wall Street
industrialsts and bankers in the privacy Of the
White House?
What of the visits of James Rand? Of the utility
magnates? OF Brown, Morgan agent in Johns
Manyille? OF the du Ponts9 And who knows what
other secret meetings not given to the press? And
what of Roosevelts representative in the secret
conferences at White Sulphur Springs, Shepard, Of
the NRA Advisory BoardP
Who is the industrialists' committee which
Roosevelt "rebuffed"? Owen D. Young Irenee du
Pont John j. Raskob Sias Strawn and others of
similar stripe Are not these the very Wall Street
mOnOp0lists who have been the insprers guides and
executors of ROosevelts whole NRA program?
Roosevet's rebuff" is shoddy piece of trickery
intended to hide the fact that he is and ALWAYS
has been in direct contact with Wall Street and
its agents from the day he entered the White House
m THE open shop drive and the drive against
wages, Roosevelt and his spokesman, Moley Rich
berg and Roper, already gave the National Manu-
facturers Association convention, two weeks ago,
ample pledges that the administration places all
its resources at Wall Streets disposal And was
1t not Roosevelt himself who sounded the opening
of the wagecut drive with his speech on the costs
of the housing program'2
Where Roosevelt and the industrialists differ
somewhat is on the method of tricking the masses
The industriasts' program is the Roosevelt pro-
gram-minus the Roosevelt honied words minus
Rooseyelts demagogy. 1t is the Roosevelt program
In its nakednesS!
Roosevelt, as the head of the capitalist state
power has the task of binding the masses of keep
ing them in subsection through illusion, through
trickery and maneuvering Therefore he cannot

Ohrbach Klein Strikes

THE arrests of almost 100 pickets outside
the Ohrbach and Klein department
stores on Union Square and the issuance
of an injunction against the strikers of
the Ohrbach company, gives striking proof
how alarmed the bosses are at the growing mill
fancy and desire for organization among the de-
partment store and white collar workers The
Boston Store workers in Milwaukee are waging a
bitter strike.
The strikers have aroused the attention of the
entire labor movement to the shameless explota-
ton to which hundreds of thousands of workers in
the large stores subjected.
The way the department store girls have defied
the injunction, have faced the arrests taken Jail
sentences only to return the picket lines should
be convincing proof that tremendous struggle is
growing among the white collar workers
The anti-mass picketing injunction is aimed
against all trade unions in New York 1t must be

text of the trade protocol signed at
Moscow, Dec. 9, by Commissar for
Foreign Trade, Rosengoltz and Min

The protocol provides that nego-
tiations begin as soon as possible to
conclude treaty concerning trade
settlements nd navigation, sub
shutting the DIVISIONAL trade
agreement of Jan. II, 1894. In order
to conclude the agreement, the
following proposals were considered
which could serve as a foundation:
The opening of the French

credits, their amount, terms, dura-
ton of contracts, interest-which
must be defined and which is to be
granted for a certain number of
years and at normal interest rates.
This credit is to be utilized as pay

French industry for period of one

of acquittal of the editor respon-

Arbeideren, who was sentenced by

Numbers of workers who were
called as witnesses declared unan-

and Socialists.

on Jan. Is is on the increase and
Hitler is seriously troubled by the
prospect of losing the game in the
Saar. The fascists are quite aware
that the loss of the Saar would be
a terrible defeat for them; they
know that such a result would lend
support to the anti-faScist strug-
gle of the German working class,
open the eyes of the workers who
up to now had been influenced by
the propaganda of the Nazis, strike
a decisive blow at Hitler's prestige
and considerably sharpen the ten
sicns existing within the bourgeoisie
and between the fascist leaders.
This is why Hitler is speeding-up
ornaments. This is why Hitler is
so desperately anxious to escape
from his international isolation by
flesh concessions. This is why he
formally renowned the Austrian
Anschluss; he hoped thus to win
Mussolini's support for his Saar
scheme.
Despite all such efforts, the in
ternational situation holds out lit
tie hope to the brown dictators.
Hitler, Goebbels and their satellites
are desperate, and in their despera-
ton are prepared to embark on an
adventurist policy which is charac-
terized by their criminal catchword
of better an end with horror than
horror without end"

taken on the significant aspect of
a war maneuver.
The addresses of those who
fought in 1918, kept in the archives

here that any publication of the
