ILLINOIS VOTE
TOMORROW TO
TEST NEW DEAL
Interest Keen, Heavy Vote
Forecast; Election
Worker Slain.

By United Prcss
CHICAGO, April 9.-Illinois vot-
ers will ballot tomorrow in a
primary election which may produce
the first indications at the polls Of
how the public looks upon the ma
tional recovery program and the
Democratic administration which it
swept into power eighteen months
ago.
Except for several local contests
Of spirited rivalry, the principal
fights will be to select candidates
for the states tWenty-Seven seats
in the house of representatives. In
the presidential year Upheaval,
when this normally Republican
state sent nineteen Democrats to
the house, the Democrats showed
their best strength in history. If
they can hold this showing, the
balloting will be looked upon as an
Endorsement for the present admin
istration.
Complaining the selection of the
Illinois primary as a Wind-straw
was the fact that Democratic cam
didates are not widely opposed
Sitting members, however, have
pledged their continued support to
the Roosevelt program and their
opponents have not expressed any
great opposition to it.
National Issues Soft Pedaled
Even the Republicans have soft
pedaled national issues in their
private fights. There has been some
"radicalism" charges against the
Democrats. They have conducted
extensive campaigns, however, on
local issues, with their strongest
campaigns coming in Cook county
and Chicago, where in November
they will have to pit their strength
against the powerful NaSh-Kelly
machine.
A prediction Staying of a po-
litcal worker in the notorious
bloody twentieth ward in Chicago
cost an independent Democratic
candidate the final nights services
of Joseph Rierno, 81, in his cam
paign for Democratic nomination in
the seventeenth state senatorial
district.
The primary saw the first indica-
tons of a split in the Republican
ranks by which, apparently, it was
hoped to win back so-called liberals
into the party fold. A complete
slate of progressive Republicans was
entered against the regulars. The
prOgressiveS' aims were best revealed
in their use of a letter from Interior
Secretary Harold L. Ickes against
the nomination campaign of Con-
gresham James Simpson, Jr., in the
exclusive Tenth congressional dis
trict.
Ickes Figures in Fight
The progresSives sought to attach
a fox hunting" insult school of
thought" label on Mr.. Simpson in
behalf of Ralph E. Church. Mr..
Simpson called Mr.. Church and the
prOgreSSiveS Socialists"
Optimistic party leaders predicted
that nearly 100000 voters will
participate in the primary. In the
1882 primary with a hot three-man
contest for governor the Democrats
polled a total vote of 816,733 to
1875 ,245 for the Republicans. Any
similar showing in the election would
be considered an indication that
former Republicans who jumped
into the Democratic ranks were to
stay.
Previous to the 1882 primary,
Democratic primary totals have
been approximately 100000, with
more than half of that from Cook
county. In 1882 Cook county con-
tributed 100000 primary votes to
100000 downState.

Two Billion Dollars

Two billion dollars of emergency" expenditures have
already been poured out by the Roosevelt govern
ment part Of Roosevelts 100000 budget program
That is this mornings news.
And 1t is officially announced over 5000 1000
more will be spent by the Roosevelt government by
June 80 of this year
Roosevelt is turning these government billions over
TO the inner clique Of Wall Street monopoly capital to
protect and guarantee their profits He is turning
billions over for the lightning swift building Of
record machine Of oattleshps and bombing planes
Already he has set aside $4,000 900 to guarantee
the mortgages of Wan Street banks Already he has
set aside another 81 100000 to substitute rich land
lords and plantation masters for the destruction of
cotton, wheat and corn in order to raise the prices
OF these commodities. Roosevelt is thus levyng enor-
nous tax burdens the masses to make them pay
for the destruction Of crops in order to raise their own
cost OF livingl
The Army and Navy are getting huge millions from
the public works funds They are getting millions
more from the regular budget
For the jobess there is no money says Roosevelt
But he is plundering the masses through heavy
taxes through the cheapened nYationary 5ecent dol
lar in order that the government shall have funds to
guarantee the bond payments and profits of the Wall
Street monopoly capitalists, This is the NRA-New
Deal In operation stripped Of Roosevelts hypocrtcal
verbiage.
There are nearly 100000 jobless workers and
their starving families for whom Roosevelt sprrns all
"ueHV u ally TeueIAI Unemployment insurance. THE
government finances do not permit it, he says Roose
welt is planning to dump the C.wA workers into the
streets soon because there are no funds"
What about these billions he Is pouring out for
profits and war? They come from the masses They
must be placed at the disposal Of the masses for
relief, for real public works program, and for
Unemployment Insurance
The National Convention Against UNEMPLOYMENT
just held at Washington has sounded the national
call for million wide united front of the working
class for these vital needs

special TO the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, Feb. 3 (By Radio
The triumphantly proved fact that
the workers rule is practical and
superior TO the rule of the capitalists,
as well as the profound differences
between the Socialist planning OF
the Soviet Union, and the capitalist
planning" of the capitalist coun-
tries. are the two dominant notes of
he 18th day of discussion at the nth
Party Congress of the All Union
Communist (Bolshevik) Party Of the
U.SS.R.
also emphasized is the funda-
mental difference between the dis
oussions at this Communist Party
Congress and the deliberations of the
capitalist congresses and Parliaments
ia capitalist countries, where the
central point OF all discussions is how
to solve the crisis at the expense OF
tl1s worker and farmer masses; how
10 fnd some way back to pre-crisis
profits by lowering the living stand
ards of the toilers, by some scheme
to check falling prices by imitation,
by limiting production of industry,
by reducing the acreage of agricul-
ture, by tariff wars, and by imper-
ialist adventurist wars.
The whole discussion Of the 18th
Party Congress of the ruling Party
OF the Soviet Union centers around
exactly the opposite things. The
Communist Party Congress discusses
practical plans for the tremendous
Socialist advance, ON how to raise
Sac living standards of the toilers by

MADRID, Feb. 8.-Indalecio Prieto,
leader of the Socialist Party who
was a member Of the Republican
Cabinet which crushed the revolution
Of the Spanish proletariat and peas
ants, made bid for worker support
in the CorteS (parliament) yesterday
by declaring he was in favor Of "revo-

The cabin of Alexandra Lerroux,
which represents the momentary tri-
umph of the most reactionary ele-
ments in Spain, won a 235 to 81 vote

The Socialists are attempting once
more to read and divert the deepen
ing resentment of the masses, who
have been robbed Of all their reyolu-
tionary gains Of the past two years,
including even the disestablishment
Of the church. The peasants will
to divide the land Is violently sup
pressed.
An indication of the mood of the
masses was given when President Al
Gala Zamora presided at a dinner
where he decorated several policemen
who took part in crushing the up
risings Of last December. The walters
struck, refusing to serve at such
dinner. After scabs had been found

At mass meeting Of 1900 stu

denounced the government and

The public school children have also
gone on strike, demanding free

While all the forces Of the state

Nazi Shipping Head
Shifts Propaganda
Blame to Chief Cook
By Burck

NEW YORK.-The customary Nazi
Subterfuge of shifting official respon-
sibility on to the shoulders Of single
individual was employed yesterday
when DR.. Christian j. Beck. manag-
ing director Of the Hamburg Amer
lean Line and North German Lloyd
in the United States, stated that
Martin Pallor "acted entirely upon
his own authority" when he brought
300 pounds of Nazi propaganda into
the United States.
The literature, made up in small
parcels addressed to persons in vari-
GUS big cities, and contained in four
large burlap sacks. was discovered in
the chief cook Pallor's cabin aboard
tho German freighter, as. S. Este"
Beck, who represents the Nazi
shipping interests in the United
States (the same interests which were
exposed several months ago in the
Daily Worker as being intimately tied
up with the Nazl activities in this
country, claimed that he had read
the seized literature ''and find
NOTHING whatsoever in it inimicaI to
he interests of the United States,
and do not see that anything more
than q technical violation Of the Gus
toms regulations is involved"
That the customs authorities of the
Port of New York also believe in the
identity Of interests between the U. s.
and the propaganda in the Nazi
pamphlets, is shown by their imme-
date release Of Pallor, without any
attempt to probe the sources and
higher-ups in this shipment, the
largest of its kind ever discovered
here.
Beck promised that the Nazi gov
eminent would softer full cooperation
in any investigation which the
United States customs may desire to
undertake"
