Keep H. R. 1898 on the
"MuSt List

DISPATCHES from Washington report
~ that Roosevelt in a conference with
his Congressional wheel-horses has de-
cided to trim his must list in order to
assure adjournment of Congress by June
g. The trimming process leaves only the
five bills the passage of which is essential
to Wall Streets hunger and war program on the
must list"
Why Is Roosevelt so eager to get an early ad-
journmentP Because the masses are demanding
more than promises. Because he fears that the
growing pressure of the may force Congress
men, who are coming up for reelection in the Fall,
to enact legislation which the masses demand with
growing nsistence.
One of the measures now being brought to the
fore is the Workers Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill III. r. 1890 motion to discharge
the Committee from further consideration of this
vital measure is now on the speakers desk. The
flood of messages, postcards, letters and resolu-
tons addressed by tens of thousands of workers
and their organizations is forcing many Congress
men to sign this motion When 145 such signatures
have been secured the Bill will automatically come
up for action in Congress A record vote as well
discussion will then take place Congressman
will then be forced to either vote for the Workers
Bill face the prospect of explaining to workers
whose votes they seek, why they failed to sup
port it.
That is why Roosevelt is in hurry to adjourn
Congress. That too is why every Congressman is
anxious to adjourn. They want to get away before
the campaign for the Workers Bill develops any
further Some of them will pretend to oppose ad-
journment, so that they can later claim that they
wanted to do something but the others didn't let
them.
tt is necessary to intensity manifold the fight
for the Workers Bill. If we arouse the masses to
the urgent need for vigorous action, we can yet
force the necessary number of Congressman to sign
the motion that will bring the Workers Bill out Of
Committee before adjournment.
The week of June to 10 has been designated
by the National Unemployment Council as week
during which demonstrations are to be conducted
at the homes of every Congressman who has not
taken the first necessary step in support of the
Workers Bill.
If between now and then these Congressman
will receive hundreds of thousands Of postcard
letters, resolutions and kilograms from workers,
from unions, lodges and other individuals and or
CARNATIONS with the demand "Sign the motion to
bring H. R. 1898 out of Committee." many of
them will be forced to comply.

NJ aneuvers Go With
Talk of Plebicite
Next Year


PARIS, May 17.-War moves for
the control of the rich Sasr region
are on foot. The French have or
dered troops to move to territory
adjacent to this small region under
the control of the League of Ma
tons. where plebiscite will be held
next year to determine whether the
Saar remains under its present rule,
or becomes part of Germany.
The pretext for the sending of the
French troops is a statement made
by Godfrey C. Knox, chairman of
the Saar Governing Commission of
the League of Nations, that the Ma
zis are planning coup in order to
annex the Saar to fascist Germany
before the plebiScite is held.
Soon after May Day, the Nazi
chief propaganda, DR.. Goebbels,
made a speech at zweibruecken,
near the Saar in which he declared
the Nazis would go to any lengths
in order to insure the inclusion of
the Saar in the Nazi Reich.

Organize the Mass Fight
Against Terrorism.

THE gangsterism and murder that has
/ been let loose against the striking work
ers in Alabama and the Pacific Coast must
be met Immediately by the organized mass
resistance of the entire working class.
In little more than a week eight work

and actively supports it.
The introduction of the Lundeen resolution
authorizing Congressional investigation into the
murder of strikers only the reflection of the fact
that the indignation Of the workers is getting to
hot to be ignored.
But the Lundeen resolution, aside from its basic
political flaws concealing the suppressive violent
character of the capitalist dictatorship embodied in
the Roosevelt government, itself maneuvers to limit
and dssipate the mass anger at the strike murders
Lundeen, forced by the pressure of the masses
TO draw up his resolution, deliberately avoided
making any exposures on the floor Of Congress. He
quietly filed formal resolution with the least pos
sible publicity.
THE fight for the Lundeen resolution is there
fore not fight to defeat capitalist terrorism
through the passage of legislative resolutions, but
to use the resolution to focus the attention Of the
whole country on the savage assaults being
made against the working class.
The actual issues can be fought out, the actual
defeat of the capitalist terrorism can come only
through the resOlute organized, actions Of
the working class itself
This organized, nationwide resistance Of the
workers to the employers terrorism must go for
ward in all workers organizations. Meetings to
pledge solidarity with the Alabama and Pacific Coast
strikers should be organized, in the shops, unions,
and mass organizations
Let the employers and their government hear
the voice of the working class, challenging their
terrorism against the striking workers.

this, the steamer continued its

The Lesser EViL' in LatVia

AGAIN the lesser eviT' theory of the
"A Socialist leaders paved the way for
the Fascist coup in Latvia. On the ground
of supporting the existing pseudo-demo-
cratic government headed by President
Kviesis, representative of the rich land
owners, as against the "Fascists," the So
calist Party Of Latvs which had the largest group
in the Latvian Parliament laid the basis for the
advent of the Fascist dictatorship.
It was this very President Kviesis who parti-
cpated in the sudden fascist coup which put Lat
via under a Fascist regime. When their services
are no longer needed in the democratic" comedy,
the Socialist leaders are arrested. But when eight
Communist leaders were arrested recently by the
present fascist officials. a preliminary blow
against the Latvian workers and poor peasants the
Socialist leaders accepted this as a necessary step
in their collaboration with the lesser evil"
In Germany in Austria, and now Latvia, the
refusal of the Socialist leaders to permit the united
front of all workers against fascism, their partci
patton in the lesser evil" governments of the CAPT
talists their disarming of the workers. has led to
the installation of fascsrn.
That is the path followed by the Norman
ThOmases in this country, who support the fas-
cist deeds of the Roosevelt N.R.A- and who at
every turn deliberately rupture the united front
Of the working class against fascsm
The socal-fascist treachery of the Second In
ternational in Latvia in other countries, is the
best assistance that the fascist hounds could want.
No wonder the Nazi press in Germany could not
hide its JOY at the of the fascist coup in Lat
via! But they look further than the victory of the
fascist dictatorship in this country bordering the
USSR. The Hitler regime is attempting to forge
a Baltic bloc for against the Soviet Union, and
the Latvian events favor this move.
From East and West the war moves against the
Soviet Union increasing, and the betrayals of
the Social-Democratc leaders not only mean a ter
rifle blow to the workers in the countries where fas
cism puts down its bloody hand, but opens the way
for the plans of Hitler against the workers
fatherand.
Every worker must take to heart the deeply
branded lessons of the Socialist treachery in Ger
many, Austria and now Latvia The united front
against fascism must be forged, despite all the
sabotage all of the rickery and refusal of the So
ciast leaders.

GENEVA, May 17.-Behind the
