Free Singh
In dian RevOlutiOnist
Wins Freedom Through
Mass Protests

LONDON, Aug. 9.-After thirteen
months of Imprisonment, the two
militant Indian revolutionists, Cur
muk Singh and Pritvi we're released
from the hideous Afghanistan jail
in which the British authorities had
placed them.
This release, news of which has
Just arrived, is another victory of
the world proletariat, which kept up
continuous barrage of protest to
the British and Indian authorities.
Arrested for their activities in
leading the fight of the Indian
masses for liberation from the yoke
of British imperialism, the SinghS
were held incommunicado and
under the vilest conditions. There
was no food for them but half
baked bread and water. During the
entire winter in the bitter cold they
slept in unheated cells and with
out any covers amid filth and YER
min. Despite broken health, how
ever, the indomitable spirit Of these
revolutionists never faltered for a
moment.
1t was the scores of protest DEM
onstrations before the Afghan con-
sulates throughout Europe and the
numerous cables sent to the At
ghanistan government that finally
forced their release They are ready
to help again in the fight to liber-
ate the 10000 of Indian workers and
peasants languishing in the jails.

Defeat the West Coast
Terror!

TODAY'S dispatches from the West Coast
carry the news that the notorious
Captain Hynes, head of the Red Squad Of
the Los Angeles police, proposed national
legislation to outlaw the Communist Party
at a recent session of the Congressional
committee to investigate "subversive"
activities
This follows in complete harmony with the
furious of arrest of militant labor organizers
and Communist Party members and leaders. Thirty
workers are in San Francisco city jail on hunger
strike. Thirty-one are imprisoned in Sacramento
California is today labors outpost in the struggle
against growing fascist terror. The ruling class of
California, aided and abetted by the Roosevelt adj
minstration, has flung down the gage to the Amer
lean working class. 1t is making definite attempt
to crush the Communist Party and militant union
ism. The workers must take up the fight and
defeat the terror in California as the first step in
the fight to defeat rising reaction.
The Daily Worker calls upon all labor organiza-
tions all organizations of professionals to send i'm
mediate protests and demands for the relief of the
prisoners to James Dean City Manager of Sacra-
mento; District Attorney Neil McAllister and Judge
VIII Carragher. Raise funds for their defense in
your shop union or club and send it to Box 64e

VIENNA, Aug. Gin the midst

VIII. THE WORLD IN ARMS


The real competition in naval ornaments has
only set in since the entry of the Japanese into
Manchuria and the struggle which has consequent
y flared up in the Pacific In 1888 the five lead
ing Great Powers had $4,000 tons in construc-
ton. Since then the British naval budget has
been raised by 100000 compared with 1888 to
total of f56,550000, and covers among other things
the building of seven new cruisers. Americas five
year plan foresees the construction of 102 ships at
an expenditure of $5000000OO japanese naval
plans are to be realized in three stages with total
expenditure of $605 100000 Italy at the present
moment has % submarines as well as numerous
other units under construction. The naval budget
of Germany for 1884 has risen to 236 243 200 marks
And all this is in the interest of the freedom of
the SEAS"
That the mad competition in ornaments on the
part of the imperialists must devour inconcevable
sums is obvious. In 1868 the whole world expended
S46o,00O000 on ornaments; forty years later, in
1908, this amount had risen to ST. 455 900 00O and
IN 1918 it had gone further to 1851 100000 In the
postwar period however, expenditure on arma-
ments even according to the official data, which
are underestimate amounted to the following
sums.

RooSeveIt'S False Promises

ROOSEVELT is making speeches giving
~ the drought-stricken farmers false
promises.
And thousands of impoverished farm
ers and their families, led by the United
Farmers League, are preparing to move
in drought marches" on the state capitals.
Roosevelt for all his honeyed talk, is selling on
the terrors of the drought to force through with
capitalist ruthlessness his essential farm program
to drive the small farmers off the land so that the
wealthy landlords and big farm owners can monopo-
lie farm production.
To those farmers who cannot make both ends
meet" Roosevelt offers the grim hope of new mass
migration to the Northwest where without funds,
machines or land they will once again slave for
the mortgage sharks.
But the impoverished farmers cannot make
both ends meet" not because of natural" causes
but because it is the capitalist bankers, mortgage
holders landlords, and monopoly railroads and
grain merchants who are crushing the small farmer
to the wall
ut is silly tale" says Roosevelt, that the A.
A. A. is forcing the farmers off the land"
But more than one million farmers pauperized
in the last twelve months by the AAA acreage
reducing program can shout back to this hypocrite
that the AA.A. is driving whole communities into
the swamp of degradation and off their farms
Roosevelt talks with brutal cynicsm to the i'm
poverished farmers. 'If these farmers want to go
on farming land that takes them deeper and deeper
into the red that is their funeral" he says.
Thus Roosevelt says to the small farmer
you will not submit to our capitalist program of
protecting the big landlords, then you can starve
and be damned
The only way for the small and middle farmers
to save themselves as they are rapidly learning
is by unitedy struggling against the New Deal and
for drought relief.
The struggles should begin in all localities to
win relief locally and Immediately These local
campaigns should lead up to the State Drought
Relief Marches on September a. which were called
for by the United Farmers League in its Drought
Relief Manifesto.
The Communist Party supports the demands of
the drought-stricken farmers 1t calls upon all dis
trics of the Party in the drought area to make this
major issue The Party members, city and farm
workers must be modified in unity with the drought
and New Deal stricken farmers, to take part in
helping and leading these struggles.
The Communist Party has already proposed the
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill, which calls for the
repeal of the A.A,Aa and would furnish relief and
protection to small and middle farmers suffering
from the drought It urges the most energetic
support for the Sept 14th marches.

Solidarity of Workers and
the LILO.

THE Executive Council of the American
L Federation of Labor is now discussing
the question of whether or not the COM
ing national convention of the A. F. of L.
will affiliate to the International Labor
Organization at Geneva
This appendage of the League of Ma
tons, the I. L. o., is not an organization which
makes for international solidarity of the workers
On the contrary, it is body which makes more
effective the service Of the trade union bureaucracy
to its own capitalist government. The imperialist
governments themselves pick and control their
agents on the LILO and make all decisions
In the United States, the A. F. of L. trade union
ofhcialdom is already part and parcel of the ma
chinery of the Roosevelt. imperialist government
The A. F. of l.. leadership, in all decisions acts
as the agent of the Roosevelt employers govern
ment The A. F. of L. leaders attempt to carry out
In labors ranks the Roosevelt program of hunger
fascism and war-the program of strikebreaking
unionsmashing, company unions, and suppression
of workers rights.
WHEN the question of afilation to the LILO is
" debated at the A. F. of L. convention it will
be taken up by the Green machine for the same
purpose that the Roosevelt imperialist government
discusses afhliation to the League of Nations The
noJlVe governing any move IN favor OF afhliation
to the LILO is: "WiI afiliation aid the aims of
the imperialists and their government on the world
arena? Will utilization be of advantage to the u S.
imperialist government in winning foreign markets
and carrying out the United States capitalist gov
ernment's international war program?
AT the San Francisco convention the delegates
representing the rank and file will advocate real
international solidarity of the working class This
international solidarity has been demonstrated time
and again in such worldwide campaigns of the
workers as the fight for the freedom of Thaelmann
and against fascism; the campaign against war
preparations and the fight for trade union unity
This world solidarity is based on policy of strup-
gle against the imperialist policies Of these govern

walton regime. In almost all capitalist countries
70 per cent of the income from taxes and Gus
toms is made over to the war account The capt.
talist world is expanding 44,5O00 600 on ornaments

Such is-n the briefest outIne-the picture of

contradictions the capitalist world is brstling with
weapons and preparing new slaughter.
TX POISON GASES AND PLAGUE GERMS
Air protection is urgently required" the rulers
shout every day into the ears of the masses. Ger
tainly air protection is urgently required for the
threatening dangers. Air protection is urgently
needed for the internationally linked armament
industry for which the organization of air pro.ec-
ton opens new sources of profit Privately how
ever the military chiefs admit that there is no eff
fective means of protection against modern air
attacks and all the aerial maneuvers have strength
ened them in this view.
The time of August, 1914 has gone by when
unctuously worded utimatums and notes were ex-
changed and solemn war declarations issued be-
fore war was begun Today the world is sliding
into war. The population will only be made con-
scious of the beginning of ar actions by the burst
ing Of aerial bombs. The time has also gone by
wives and children safe al home
Lieutenant General Metzch writes '"The dis
tinction between front base and rear which partly
impressed itself on the military character of the
previous war, has vanished. Everything is front"
And his military colleague General Altrock re-
marks: The population of extensive areas is at
every moment near to destruction The next war
viii be rather mass humiliation of the civil
population than a fight between armies"
But let us be fair. We frankly admit that the
lmpenalists are at least full of good will for the
most rapid ending of the threatening war Listen
to what Professor Jeergensen of Denmark has to
say: In word, If one wages war expressly against
the civil population, and with the most terrible
means possible, then this would appear to favor the
forcing of quick peace"
Enormous advances" have been made in the
sphere of aerial warfare. Three kinds of bombs
lind application explosive combustion and poison
gas bombs. Ten aeroplanes are able to carry each
thousand bombs of 20 Kilograms, j. e. 100000
Kilograms of bombs in all. Explosive bombs are of
all sizes, from the hundred kilogram bomb which
can reduce house to ruins, to the American giant
bomb, which weighs 1850 Kilograms and is two
and hall times as large as man. AS regards
combustion bombs, the one kilogram bomb filled
with thermite develops up to three thousand de-
grees OF heat. It's advantage" consists in the fact
that it cannot be extinguished by water And then
there are the poison gas bombs. .

LaGuardia'S Relief Crisis

WHILE the La Guardia regime finds
W money with which to pay the bankers
under the terms of the Bankers Agree
ment, La Guardia has again raised the
cry of relief crisis"
Pointing both to Albany and to Wash
ington, La Guardia, while attempting to
pass the buck for relief to the city's unemployed
holds out the threat of taxation on the commonest
articles of consumption the wages of the work
ers, and on subway and elevated train rides
To meet present relief exigencies, the relief
administration has slashed thousands off the work
relief lists. After re-application and after the
usual period of investigation" these unemployed
workers are eligible" for home relief at an average
OF less than half the wages received on work relief
Clearly, concerted drive is being made to place
all work relief a forced labor basis Workers
whose burget requirements" on home relief are
more than what they are receiving on the relief
project, are being fired. Laborers receiving s12
weekly relief wages if they are the heads of large
families are being retained on the Jobs
All single workers and all married couples are
being fired from the projects Skilled and white
collar workers are being dropped under recent
work relief ruling by which worker must have
six dependents in order to remain on the relief
jobs paying $40 weekly.
THE United Action Conference on Work, Relief
and Unemployment has clearly formulated the
demands of the New York unemployed and relief
workers. While leading the fight for adequate un-
employment relief and for Jobs at trade union
wages, the conference demands that funds shall be
provided by taxation on all large incomes and in
hertanceS, tax on the super-proftS of the public
utilities, and taxes on all large realty holdings and
corporations operating within the city limits
Added to this demand for decent jobs at trade
union wages and for adequate relief, the organiza-
tons affiliated to the United Action Conference
together with millions of unemployed workers.
workers in the trade unions and in the shops
throughout the country. demand the enactment of
the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance
Bill as the chief immediate need of the working
population and the only immediate solution of
the unemployment question.

From the time of the Geneva Disarmament
