Pointing out that the Farmer
Labor Party has carried out con-
sistent capitalist policies during its
entire period of office, the Com
munist Party resolution states:
The anti-eapitalist talk of the
Farmer-Labor Party and its TRADE
against the profit system and I'M
equal distribution of wealth and ia
come actually conceal its purpose Of
preserving capitalism and main
tanning capitalist exploitation.
The whole system of social dem
agogy Of the Fsrmer-Labor Party
is embodied in its program of the
Cooperative Commonwealth The
Farmer Labor Party and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor bureau
craey herslded this 'Co-operstive
Commonwealth as the New Social
Order to replace the bankrupt cap
italist system.
Actually, the COOPERATIVE Com
monwealth' is State Capitalism, that
is, the capitalist government will
take over the bankrupt industries
and safeguard the investments and
profits OF private capital. Instead
of the workers and farmers being
exploited by Individual capitalists
and trusts, they are to be exploited
by gigantic government monopolies.
Under the Farmer-Labor Go-opera-
tive Commonwealth, capitalism
would be able through the use Of
the state machinery more effec-
lively to deprive the workers of
their civil rights and the rights to
Organise and strike"
The resolution warns that the
capitalist class aims of the
Farmer-Labor Party are demon
strsted by its linguistic, patriotic,
flag-waving and Red-haiting cam
psigns, all of which actually en-
courage the development Of fascist
theology and actions"
Anslyzing the failure of the Com
munist Party to make any headway
against the influence of the Farmer
Labor Party, the resolution contin-
ues:
In this election the masses saw
in the Republican Party the rally
ing eentsr of most rsactienary capt.
tslism beaded by the Steel trust,
large banks and the Citizens Ali
ance; and in the Farmsr7Lapor
PARTY the rsllying center of all pre-
gressiVs and pro-labor forces. This
illusion of the masses was espe-
cially strengthened by the con-
csrted Republican attack of Com
munisn,' Socialism 'Marxism'
on the Farmer-Labor Party pro-
gram. The failure of the Comrm9-
mist Party to explain the capitalist
nature of the Farmer-Labqr Party
program, to clearly present the rev
olutionary solution of the crisis,
made it difficult for the masses to
see the basic class divisions and
that their interests were repre-
sented ONLY by the revolutionary

"on November II, I received a
letter signed by Schoellkopf and
dated November 7, informing me
that I would not be reinstated.p
II will be noted here that the
letter was dated November u
exactly twenty-four hours after
Election Day--thus indicating
clearly that Mr.. Schoellkopf
seemed to be fully aware of the
danger of Killers revelations be-
fore elections. The conclusion is
inescapable that Schoellkopf and
the other officials were stalling
Hitler until all possibilities Of this
scandal breaking in time to cause
immediate Political damage to
certain people was past.
But while Schoellkopf was giving

as "ths run-sround," the utilities

Not long after Hitler left Cohoes a
squad of auditors, from both the
T. E. R. A. and the New York
Power and Light Company (Sehoell-
kopf used both freely and inter-
ehangaably) descended on the T. 3,
R, A. office in Cohoss to @elean up
matters.
On Sunday, Dec. 16, the writer
visited Cohees and interviewed peo-
pie connected with the relief or

Changed Records
They fixed it so that all the
records have bean changed, in
order to remove all evidence of
crime, for, according to our own
statistics, anyone presenting
false claim for payment to the
state is guilty Of felony.
"The dates have been changed
to agree, The dead peoples
names have been changed and in
their place the names of living
relatives or dependents have been
written in. The original COM
mitments have been destroyed.
But not the copies in Killers
pocket"
During the course of their work
in Cohpes in destroying the evil
dence, we were told by our in
formsnt, the auditors held a con
ference with ths head auditor of
the New York Power and Light
Company in Troy, directly across
the river from Cohoes.
Why did T. e. R. A. auditors con-
fer with utility auditors?
All of the above facts were con-
firmed by Charles A. George, former
T. E. r. A. head in Cohoes, who
was forced out of the t. E. r. A.
because of his staunch support of
Hitler and his fight against COR
ruption within the t. E. f. A. Mr..
George, retired engineer who had
served as chairman of the T. e. r.

PROPOSES FOREIGN.
BANKS Be REPAID.
Roosevelt Urges Congress
to Reimburse Russian and
Turkish Houses.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt sent a message
to Congress yesterday recommending
legislation which would permit the
United States Government to reim-
burse banks in Russia and Turkey
approximately $4,000 for funds ad-
vanced to American diplomatic off,
GERS In 1915, 1915 and 1917.
At the State Department, 1t was
explained that American diplomatic
officers were paid in warrants drawn
on the Secretary of State, and that
the officers ordinarily took these war
rants TO banks in cities in which they
were stationed. In some instances, II
was said, the banks had not forwarded
these warrants for collection before
the United States declared war on
the central powers on April 81, 1917.
The warrants, consequently, have
never been paid.
In his message, President Roosevelt
said:
Il commend to the favorable con-
sideration of the Congress the inclosed
report from the Secretary of State, to
the end that legislation may be en-
acted to authorize an appropriation
of not exceeding s44 ,403.15 for the
payment of interest on funds repre-
sented by drafts drawn on the Secre-
tary of State by the American en-
bassy in Petrograd and the American
embassy in Constantinople and trans
fers which the embassy in Con-
stantinople undertook to make by
cable communications to the Secre-
tary of State between December %,
1915, and April 81, 1917. in connection
with the representation by the en-
bassy of the interests Of certain for
