IN January, 1888, the government
L prolonged by law the existing
wage agreements and forbade all
strikes during the ensuing year. But
in fact, wages and relief were heavi-
ly cut during this period. All labor
disputes are settled by compulsory
arbitration. The strike of 80 per
cent of the seamen, observing all
the intricate legal formalities, was
declared illegal. When the seamen
went on strike nevertheless, the
government used all possible means
to break the strike, to prevent the
solidarity of o.her workers, and to
protect the strike-b breakers. When
the perfectly legal strike OF the
butchers and packinghouse workers
threatened to deliver a heavy blow
to Danish capitalism, the strike was
ended by law creating q special
court and compulsory arbitration,
and without gaining their demands,
the workers we're ordered to return
to the factories.
The government intends to con-
tine along these lines. At the Gen.
cral Congress Of the Federation Of
Danish Unions, Staining delivered
q speech pointing out the necessity
of following a policy Of national
autarchy, self-sufhciency, and to
"socialize," that is to say, CO.
ordinate" the trade unions in the
interest of the whole of society"
Staining adorns this policy with
terms like planned economy" and
road to socialism," ard facilitates
the aim of the fascists. He called
all workers who do not belong to
the reformist trade unions and the
sccial-democracy traitors ana enc
mics who must be crushed.
AS a matter of fact, the govern
merit ure5 all means to crush the
opposition among the toiling masses
and the revolutionary movement
with the help of police clubs and
the courts. After the strike of the
seamen, there were proceedings
pending against the opposition
trade union, based on q paragraph

the proletarian revolution.
This whole policy of worsening
the economic situation of the toll
ing masses, of police terror and
fascination Of the state and trade
union apparatus is, of course,
wholly contrary to the platform on
which the government was elected.
Increasing masses of the toiling
people are turning against the
policy of the government.
The whole situation offers to the
Communist Party of Denmark the
best possibilities to mobilize through
energetic work the toiling peasants

ers for the struggle against capital

Communist agitation Causes
DisGfectiOn in Nasi Troops

ZURICH, Switzerland, (By MaiD
Communist propaganda is pen
etrating the Nazi storm troop and is
having disastrous effect, the most
influential Catholic newspaper in
Holland, de Massbode" declares in
long article published on the
present situation in Germany. This
paper states, in part:
With obvious worry the whole
world, and foremost the Catholic
world is following the events which
are happening in Germany, covered
by thick veil. The Third Reich is
going through very serious crisis in
the religious, social, economic and
financial field. One cannot any
longer deny that a tremendous
change has taken place in the atti-
tude of the broad masses"
The "Massbode" then reports than
within less than six months $4,000
members of the Storm Troops were
brought into concentration camps
and jails Or expelled from the or
ganization. The Storm Troops are
becoming more and more unreliable.
"A very sharp undertone is heard
against the people in one organiza-
tion-something that would cause
surprise If it were not known that in
the ranks Of the Storm Troops and
Of the Defense Corps "a selected
elite of reliable Nazi pretorians)
Communist inclinations are growing
rapidly and that well-informed
opinion has it that at least one
third of the Elite troops are out
spokenly Communist and even revo-
lutionary Communist"
The article closes: 1--WE really have
enough with one Russia; nobody in
Europe wishes or can wish the out
break OF q second Russia on our
continent which would deliver all
Europe to the terrible dangers of
Bolshevism."

The Farm Drought

THE Roosevelt government IS acting with
L criminal negligence in failing to come
to the aid of the hundreds of thousands of
small farmers and their families, ruined
by the drought, who face stark misery.
The Roosevelt A.A.A. program had hit
these small farmers and their families (the
majority of the farm population hard enough as
it is, reducing their acreage, driving them into
bankruptcy.
Roosevelt proposes a half billion dollar drought
relief program. But who will get most of the re-
lief? It will 60 to creditors who have mortgages
on the ruined farmers cattle. 1t will go to the
larger more weu-to-do farmers who alone can
fulfill the conditions set down by the Roosevelt gov
eminent for those getting relief
And what are these conditions? That the
farmers sign up for acreage reduction! The
drought is therefore, being used club by the
Roosevelt government to enforce the A. A. A. re-
duction program in the interests of the weather.
farmers
AS for cash relief. for free feed for the starv-
ing cattle and for relief to the stricken families,
Roosevelt gives nothing
In addition the drought is being used by the
Roosevelt government in heartless, brutal scheme
for depopulating the farms, and placing thousands
Of ruined farmers families on the so-called sub
sistence farms" where the men will have to work
their own land and work in the factories as well,
thus providing for coolie wages in the factories
and bigger profits for the exploters.
With his typical brutality, Roosevelt is using
the terrors of the drought to fOrfy the class po-
siticn of the mortgage holders and Weather land
lords. The rest of the farm population ne leaves
to the ravages of drought debts, and starvation.
The Farmer Relief Bill proposed by the Com
runist Party contains provisions that alone can
bring relief to the impoverished farmers. 1t alone
calls for immediate cash relief, cancellation Of all
mortgage debts.
The Conference of the United Farmers League
to be held June % should be focus for rally
ing the stricken farm population for a determined
struggle to force the Roosevelt government to
grant adequate relief TO be administered by the
farmers themselves

merous vessels and on shore played
the "Internationale." Guns and
sirens rent the air, mingling with
the shouts Of the crowds.

80 Sailors Offer
Blood to Sick Girl

NEW YORK-Sailors aboard the

we're asked to give their blood for
human cause and not that the
blood of others might be spilled.
Thirteen year old Rose Bivona

and her parents weren't able to pay
the necessary fees for blood trans
fusions which were badly needed
Frank Bivona of 1871 Sixty Fifth

Sellers of the navy and the result
was that 80 sailors offered their
blood.
Thursday night, thanks to a
young man who left high school in
California to join the navy, the girl
was reported as doing nicely"
No officer was reported to have
volunteered as donor of the
precious fluid.

The Paris Temps writes in an
article under the caption THE
Diplomacy of the Third Empire:
1.-THE internal situation in Germany
is far from being as favorable, as
the comments of the leaders make
it appear. The National Socialist
government has to face problems
becoming more difficult from day to
day. In spite of the existing con-
straint, the disillusion and disatis-
faction break through. They must
even have attained a very remark
able degree, because in his philippe
in the Sportpalast, doctor Goebbels
made so fiery an allusion to it.
The reign has lost its swing. IT
requires a great deal of prestige to
win back this swing"
