The Crime of the LaCuara the obess

THE crimes which capitalist municipalities, as well
as capitalist employers, commit daily against
workers and their families could find no more typi-
cal expression than the situation uncovered yester-
day in New York City.
Here is what an Investigating committee, Just
scratching the surface found:
total of 100000 pounds of potatoes are rot
ting in warehouses, although originally delivered for
relief distribution.
total of 100000 pounds of cabbage are rotting
awaiting distribution for relief
total of 100000 pounds of veal are rotting
for lack of proper cutting machines" although
originally intended for relief
A total of 100000 cans of roast beef are in
similar condition.
Is not this revolving and criminal waste typical
OF the whole capitalist system which dooms millions
to starvation while warehouses are bursting with

And what answer does Mayor LaGuarda make
to this CHASTITY negligence which keeps food from
the ctys jobless and their families?
This is his answer
1--WE cannot give food away the street corners
in competition with trade"
Trade! Profit! Let the starving starve! Let
the children of the working class starve while piled
up food rots! But, in the name of all that is holy
to capitalist lackey, protect trade!
The Communist Party points to this monstrous
situation and brands the city administration with
the responsibility for this crime.

Chauvinist Leaders Call
Police to Prevent Him

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. IA
Three squads of police, called BY
the reactionary leaders Of the newly
formed American Protective League
for Hungarian Refugees from
Jugoslavia last night arrested Emil
CARLOS, editor of the Hungarian
Communist paper "Uj Elore," and
dispersed militant workers who en-
tered mass meeting called by the
League.
CARLOS led delegation of forty
elected at Tuesday nights united
front meetings of Hungarian, Jugo-
slav and Croatian workers to sub
NIT resolution to the leaders OF
the new League, whose shady rec
ord before and after the World
War has been one of continuous
misuse of funds collected under
patriotic pretenses from the Hun
garian masses.
The resolution demanded a real
united front committee to handle
finances, and deletion from the
minutes of a previous meeting of
the League of the statement that
the League was organized to spread
the truth and solicit international
support for Hungary and inclusion
of the motion conveniently omitted
from the minutes demanding the
freedom of Matthias Rakosi ano

by the Hungarian ruling class.
Workers Protest Arrest
The leaders Of the League, see
ing the sentiment of the over
whelming majority of the audience
was opposed to their racketeering
scheme and were backing the dele
cation, had CARLOS arrested as he
attempted to take the floor.
More than 200 workers proceeded
to the nearby Hungarian Workers
Home, and held despite the late.

Eight hundred unemployed miners,

Court House and camped there for
the night, returned to their homes
today after winning a decisive VIC
tory in which all their relief de-
mands were won, Immediate food
orders were issued to their families
and all were promised Jobs on relief
work projects.
No food was offered them by the
relief administration last night, and
the jobless workers stretched out On
the floor and the corridors-hun-
cry.
In the morning bread was sent
them by workers in the town, and
cheese was supplied by the relief
office.
Many of the miners stated that
they had not worked for two years
or more and were in a state of
complete restitution. Relief
throughout the State has always
been haphazard and frightfully in

administration, local reports by
workers state, is in complete state

FACE CABLE
TO WILSON
BARES PLOT
u. S. Thrown Into War
To Protest Wall St.
Loans to England

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. a.
The dominating part Of the Wall
Street banking firm of j. P. Morgan
played in hurting this country into
the world war in 1917 was revealed
today when a government official
close to the Senate investigation
committee on munitions made pub
lie the fact that Wilson declared war
on Germany to avert financial
crisis of the British government in
volving the repayment to the Nor
gans of $500 ,000,000 loan.
Referring to the now historic cable
sent by Walter Hines Page, Amer
lean ambassador to England in 1917,
warning Wilson of an impending
"crisis," this official stated:
"The crisis Page cabIed about
was that Great Britain was unable
to meet its obligations to Morgan
for credits amounting to S400, 00O,-
600. This money was lent by Nor
gan and other banks and then
was used to buy materials manu-
featured by Morgan dominated
companies here WHICH were
shipped TO the Allies"
1t was with the house of J. P.
Morgan that Roosevelt in the recent
weeks has been holding private con-
ferences regarding the munitions in
vestigation, and the general execu-
ton of the Roosevelt economic poll
cies in the coming months.
Morgan Partner in n. r. A.
1t is also Morgan partner, j.
Stettinius, who has been appointed
by Roosevelt to act as financial adj
visor of the N. R. A. in its negotia-
tions with the biggest monopolies in
Wall Street.
Thus tke Wall Street financial
clique which ordered Wilson to de-
clare war on Germany in 1917, is
now more than ever in control of
the government, with Roosevelt act
ing as their agent in building his
record-breaking two billion dollar
war program.
Pages Cable
Quoting from Pages long secret
cable to Wilson, the government
official showed that the slogans of
keep the world safe for democracy"
really masked war to protect Wall
Street investments. Page cabled
Wilson just before Wilson declared
war:
IF the United States declare war
against Germany, the greatest help
we could give Great Britain and the
Allies would be credit. If we should
adopt this policy, an excellent plan
would be for our government to
make a large investment in a
Franco-British loan. Another plan
would be to guarantee such loan.
A great advantage would be that
all the money would be kept in
the United States.
I'VE could KEEP on with our trade

NEW YORK. - Intense indigna-

Thomas Joins In
The New Leader, in an edi-
torial statement signed by Norman
Thomas, joins the hue and cry of
the capitalist press against the stern
proletarian justice of the working
class in the U.S.S.R., by comparing
these necessary and justifiable ex-
ecutions Of class enemies with the
desperate murders by the Hitler gov
eminent on June 30. and the lynch
ing Of Negroes in the South.
The New Leader takes the same
point of view as the Novoye Russ
koye Slovo, Russian language or
gan of White Guards and other
emigres, which is also conducting a
campaign against the workers faith
erland, and supporting the anti
Soviet meeting.
Attempting to arouse among the
workers the same feelings against
the Soviet Union that workers feel
against the fascist murders and the
lynchings, Thomas writes
as follows:
"a country with as many lynch
ings as the United States is
in no position to take holier-
than-thou attitude to any nation.
Nevertheless, not as Americans,
but as lovers of the cooperative
commonwealth and justice which
it has always promised, we must
protest against the incredible
harm being done to our COM
mon cause by the news that
is now coming out of Russia.
All this looks uncomfortably like
Hitler's bloodbath of June 30"
Thomas goes further and COM
pares the dictatorship of the pro-
in the Soviet Union with
Czarism and fascism, stating:

Economic Program Aids
To Keep Prices Up
For Monopolies
By Milton Howard

APPROACHING the end Of our
n survey of Father Coughlin's ma
jor ideas, it is now possible to see
that this smooth-tongued ecclesi-
astic is a sinister figure whose vir-
tuous voice crying to millions of
workers is a voice of evil, the voice
of Wall Street decoy, a "come-on
guy" striving to steer the workers
of the country into trap, trap
set by the exploiters and the mo-
nopolists.
We state bluntly that Father
Coughlin is a conscious agent of
the Wall Street monopolies, hired
in their service, rewarded for his
labors, and placed by them in front
Of the masses with only one pur-
pose-to ease. the way for the ex-
ecution of the most reactionary pol
icies of the Wall Street monopolies
who are marching the road to fas-
cisn
For Specific Wall Street Policy
And it is not only the general
policies Of Wall Street for which
Coughlin prepared the way.
1t is the specific economic policy
which Wall Street monopoly hap
pens to require at any given mo-
ment for which Coughlin hands out
his propaganda. At every turn in
its policy, Wall Street will have the
support of Coughlin, who will find
a way to sugar-coat this policy in
his typical way.
This is the key to Coughlin's
career, this is what will enable every
worker who listens to him to fathom
the brutal, capitalist class policy,
which underlies every speech that
Coughlin makes.
Listen to a Coughin proposal,
and then ask, what does Wall Street
industrial monopoly require at this
moment for the maintenance of it's
profits? And in every case an ex-
animation Of COughlin's plan will
reveal that he is issuing radical"
propaganda for Just this Wall Street
requirement!
Does Wall Street industrial mo-
nopoly require policy of initiation
in the first phase of the Roose-
welt N. R. A. price-raising program
in order to gouge the masses both
at the point of production in the
factory and at the point of con-
sumption in the stores?
Very well then, Father Coughlin
will cry up and down the land for
policy of dollar devaluation
against "the yoke of gold rulers in
Wall Street." the very monopolies
who demand initiation!
Leaps to Aid Monopolies
Do the Wall Street monopolies
demand the restriction of all nom
monopoly production in order to
freeze out the low prices of the
little man" in order to raise prices
and maintain high, monopoly
prices?
Very well then, Father Coughlin
leaps to their aid, as he did three
weeks ago, telling the workers:
There can be no lasting prosperity
If free competition exists in any
industry it is the business of
government to curtail individual
ism, and, if necessary, factories
shall be licensed and their output
limited
Is it any miracle that the Wall
Street industrialists are willing to
finance this mans activities? Is
