Into LaGuardia's Lap!

WHEN Mayor LaGuardia told Police Com
missioner Organ to withdraw the fas-
cist union-registratio scheme, he did so
with the air of Perseus going forth to STAY
the serpent-haired Medusa. The fair
maiden involved was the workers. The
Mayor urged that ut be made clear that
the laws of this state protect workers in their rights

That this was one of the most sliny. most ven
omous and hypocritical lies of the many he has ut
tered since he assumed office is proved by the state
ment of General Organ. The Police Commissioner

but in spirit has been one of complete impartialitv

Commissioner had any part in formulating the

SHANGHAI, Aug. "a Chinese
Red Army Of workers and peasants
numbering 5000 is now within
twelve miles of Foochow, seaport
city in the Kiangsi province.
This means that the Red Army
is consolidating its recent victories
over the troops of the Chang Kali
shek government. The Marking
government of Chang Kai-shek is
getting financial support from Wall
Street in its successive anti-red
military campaigns, six of which
have already been defeated by the
Red Army of the Soviet districts.
Many mass assertions to the Red
Army from the Marking armies
have taken place, and government
officials have admitted helplessly
that the Red Armies have the full
support of the worker and peasant
populations.

are anchored on the Yangtse River
in the interior of China near the
Soviet districts to protect the i'm
perialist investments and to be
ready to assist in crushing the

When these women return in a

They will also bring with them a
spirit Of new determination de-

THE Seventh National Convention of
the Young Communist League, held
in New York June % to 27, set as one of
its most important tasks the transforma-
ton of the Young Worker" from BIZ
monthly to a weekly by International
Youth Day, September LIST, and the build
ing Of circulation of $4,000 by the end of this
year.
With the Roosevelt government making furious
efforts to win the youth for and fascism, the
Young Worker drive assumes major Importance
Thousands OF unemployed youth are being herded
into C.CC camps; other thousands forced into
the slave transient camps network of forest
camps for jobless girls has been established; plans
are underfoot to extend this network of mitarzed
forced labor into every section of the youth
These camps, under the direct supervision OF
the War Department, are intended to recruit and
train new soldiers for the next imperialist war
and to create organized nuclei for fascist groups
In the tremendous strike struggles now taking
place the youth play major and in some cases
a decisive role. In all strikes the youth demon
strate great mitancy on the picket line and other
fronts OF the struggle.
The millions of American working youth offer
to the revolutionary movement an inexhauStibIe
reserve for the struggle against and fascism
for Soviet Power. The struggle for Soviet Power
never succeed if we do not win the masses
of toiling youth for the revolutionary way out
of the crisis.
THE struggle for the youth grows continually
sharper. In California we observe concrete
examples of how the fascist leaders try to lure
the youth into their "vigiante" fighting gangs by
the use of the most unrestrained demagogy The
overwhelming majority of National Guardsmen in
against striking workers is composed of working
and farming youth
The working class must not surrender It's
youth to the class enemy for use in its fascist
attacks upon the workers organizations and living
standards.
The best way to defeat the attempts of develop
ing fascism to corrupt the minds of the youth is
to build the young Worker" into mass organ
and to build the Young Communist League into
mass organization. The Young Worker" as the
only fighting youth newspaper in the working class
movement, has played important part and is
destined to play powerful role in this task
We appeal to every reader of the Daily Worker"

thizers and intelectuals to do all in their power
to support and build the Young Worker!"

What flinders Unity?

CURELY, every class conscious worker,
~ every honest person who hates war and
fascism must have welcomed the recent
news that in at least two places, Camden,
n. J., and Brooklyn, n Y, Socialist Party
groups accepted the united front offers of
the Communist Party.
These joint actions of Socialist Party
locals in united front with Communists against
their common class enemies are only beginning.
They point the way to the path that must be taken.
Why must the united front be restricted to
Brooklyn or Camden?
Why cannot the united front be achieved
throughout the country it has been achieved
in France?
The Communist Party has sent two Open Letters
to the National Executive Committee of the So
cialist Party proposing joint meeting and discus
sion for the arranging of practical program for
fighting imperislist war, fascism, terrorism, wage
cuts, etc.
Why cannot the Socialist Party leaders enter
into public discussion with the Communist Party
for joint action?
AS THE Socialist Party workers in Brooklyn point
"A ed out in their statement accepting the united
front, fascism grows in America the menace OF war
is sinister every day. terrorist strike breaking
grows more widespread.
Against these capitalist attacks there must be
the united strength of the working class
Do not the Socialist Party leaders wish to Join
in the world fight to liberate Thaelmann and all
anti-fascist fighters?
Do they not wish to defend the elementary
rights of the workers the right to strike organize
picket?
The proposals of the Communist Party are
open and above board. They can stand the light
Of day and absolutely free and open discussion.
Why then has the Socialist Party ignored thus
far all invitations to meet Communist Party rep
resentatives for Joint action?
Certainly, the Socialist Party members of Cam
den and Brooklyn, as well as in every other city
and town in the country deserve an answer

acterzed the Fusion progressive" regime. Organ
got sore when LaGusrdia tried to duck out of his
share OF the blame for this measure. Organ got
good and sore that he let the cat out of the
bag-and it scampered straight into LaGusrdia's
lap!
THIS should not be surprising to those who have
watched closely the antics of the Fusion gang
LaGuardia has dipped his dagger in oil and per-
fume whenever he thought he could get away with
it, stabbing the working class with his snesking
demagogy.
In the union registration affair which the work
ers Of this city squsshed by their immediate and
powerful protests LaGuardia first praised the meas
ure by claiming it was meant only for "check-up"
etc. When the absurdity Of this statement was
exposed he tried to shift the burden solely on the
shoulders of his own police department What is
he going to say next, now that his latest lie, his
latest attempt at sliding out of responsibility for
direct anti-labor move, has been so utterly ex-
posed?
We can rest assured that he will again attempt
to squirm out of the mess. But we can be Just
as certain that he will not lift finger against the
Police Rife Regiment, that he will do nothing
to stop the attacks against workers and unem-
ployed.
Except for his progressive perfume (Which be-
gins to smell stale and putrid as his successive
lies exposed, there is nothing today which dis
tinguishes the odor Of Fusion from that of the
Tammany Tigers tail.

Grows In
Germany

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-The Reichs-
bank statement for the week end
ing July 81 was released today.
The total reserve had increased
by 100000 marks, but an increase of
currency in circulation of 260,000,000
marks sent the reserve down to a
new low of two per cent.
Total fiduciary circulation is now
5,712,000,000 an increase of 10000
900 over the figure for July 81, 1888.
This indicates steadily growing
initiation in Germany as a result of
