The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-15

THE more omlnous the re-
1 ports from Germany of
growing hunger, the faster
come dispatches telling of
rapid and huge war prepara-
tons. Both go hand in hand.
The masses are forced to
starve so Hitler can build power
full war machine for finance capi-
tai The war machine is brought
closer to action because the starv-
ing masses threaten the very roots
of fascism.
Latest hunger report is published
by the Federated Press in the form
of a cable from Baden, Germany,
reading: THE continuous rise in
living costs has created such gem
eral discomfort, even among Hit
ler's storm troops and Nazi party
members, that it has been found
necessary to forbid all Nazi meet
ings in southwest Germany"
Another report by the Interna-
tional Press Correspondence from
Breslau states: Great excitement
and discussion are being caused by
the rising prices of food and the
declining amount Of supplies. A
uniform black loaf is now being
sold at so pfennings, as against the
better bread hitherto obtainable at
AZ or A pfennings."
THE workers tramp long distances,
from % to % miles, in order to
seek potatoes on the harvested po-
tato fields. Hundreds of workers are
making such pilgrimages, in an e.
fort to stave off starvation this
winter.
One farm, % miles from Breslau,
looked like a mass meeting, so
many workers had gathered to try
to get potatoes from the farmer, be-
fore he brought them to the city.
Excited discussions took place be-
tween the peasants and the work.
ers. The peasants were not permit
ted to sell the potatoes under three

and the workers would and could
not pay so much.
While the reports of hunger pile
up from every part of Germany
with every reason to believe that
news of growing hunger riots are
being suppressed, we also learn
that the Hitler government is SPAR
ing no money and no efforts to
build up the most powerful war air
force in Europe.
THESE planes, with their collos-
sal supply of bombs, poison gas,
machine guns, are for internal as
well as external use. On the num-
Der and kind of planes already con-
structed, Petit Journal" a Partisan
newspaper, gives the following sta
tistical material:
Fascist Germany possesses 80
squadrons of IL pursuing planes
each of the following types: Heinc-
kel So, Heinckel 70, JunkerS VIDA
XII, Junkers go BL, Messerschmidt
M-38; 10 squadrons of bombing
planes, each consisting of planes,
mainly types Dornier DOX, Dornier
DOF, Dornier WIS, Dornier Super
wal, and Junkers JUG-52; further
70 squadrons of scouting planes,
each Of 8 planes; Is squadronS Of
hydroplanes type Rohrback DOx.
ALTOGETHER, as far as the
Petit Journal" could get in
formation, fascist Germany now
possesses 2,4O0 military airplanes Of
the newest designs, capable of the
higher speeds than the airplanes Of
the same class possessed by other
countries.
Besides, just as starvation grows
greater, Hitler has given orders for
300 military airplanes to Dornier;
the same number to Junkers, and
he has ordered 1000 airplane mo-
tors from the American firm Of
Pratt and Whitney.
| ALI of the orders must be carried
out before the end of 1885.
THE tempo of the London Daily
/ Worker financial drive has ex-
ceeded our own by far. The only
Communist daily in England was
faced with eviction from it's edito-
rial, publishing and printing prem
ises. The Central Committee issued
an appeal for $500 pounds or about
$12, 800 Despite the many calls be-
ing made on the workers for flnan-
cial support for the mass CAM
paigns, for the fight against fascism
and for aid to victims of fascist
terror, in little over one month
the sum was realized. This Is a re-
markable achievement which should
inspire our readers to help our
Daily Worker out of it's extremely
difficult financial conditions.
Recently the London Daily
Worker went over its quota by sew
eral thousand dollars, giving it an
opportunity to entranch itself.
rHIANG KAI SHEK has Just got
" ten another loan of $25, ZOO, 900
from Great Britain Another $20,-
100000 was loaned to the Szechuan
war lord, Ii Sian. 1t is also re-
ported that large number of Ca
madam air pilots are being rushed
to China for war against the Chi
nese Soviet districts.
REACHES ONLY $3.50 OF QUOTA
World Front, with todays meagre
contributions of $3.50, reaches only
SO per cent of its $500 quota just
10 per cent ahead of Del. Where
are all the World Front enthusi-
astS?
