Another ScottSboro Victor,

THE Supreme Court verdict in the
L Scottsboro case is brilliant triumph
and vindication of the policies of the In
ternational Labor Defense.
1t is also an overwhelming defeat of
the whole horde of so-called friends" of
the boys, the Samuel Leibowitz's and his
supporters in the N,A.AC.P. leadership,
and the liberal" sheet The Nation.
Like pack of dogs, they harried the
LID. at every step. At the most crucial
moment they deserted the case the better
to stab the boys defenders in the back.
But the LID. policies have won.
Like cunning traitors, they said the IL,
D. had been alright for the beginning of
the case" Now, they said, the I. L. D.
Ought to step out"
They said the lid is antagonizing
the dignity of the court with its propa-
ganda."
But the LID. held firm 1t declared
that the Supreme Court, like any other
capitalist court, like the Alabama lynch
courts, will listen only to the powerful
voice of the masses, backing up the bril-
liant LID. lawyers in the court To
lawyers alone it will not listen, the LID.
declared
The LID. was thousand times right.
The high and mighty Supreme Court had
to listen to the world protest organized
by the I. L. D. The high and mighty
Supreme Court could not afford to worry
about its dignity" in the face of this
mighty protest
If LeibOUitz and the N.A.A.C.P. lead
ers had been in the case. the bOys uOutd
nor be doomed. The boys would have
been deprived of the one thing that is
protecting them from the electric chair
the mighty power of the world protest
movement.
Today, the LID. stands forth as the
shreWdest, most practical, most depend
able and deUOted defender of the boys.
Through four bitter years of struggle
it has proven itself.
No honest, sincere friend of the boys
can any longer deny this truth It is
behind the LID. that every friend of the
boys now belongs, giving of every ounce
of energy, Of money, and devotion to save
these innocent victims of brutal social
system.
The LID. earnestly calls on every
friend of the boys to join hands with us.
Carry the fight forward

The Oil Decision

THE Supreme Court decision against
L the Roosevelt oil code is not victory
for the people"
1t leaves the Wall Street oil mo-
nopolies in just as much control as be-
fore.
The court has ruled against the New
ASesl Gil code, which curtaiIs oil produc-
ton in order to keep prices up. The basis
of the ruling is that the NRA. oil code
does not state for what purpose this dras-
tic curtailment of oil production is taking
place.
But the Supreme Court does not at all
deny the right of the Roosevelt govern
ment to curtail production once the law
is so fixed as to comply with this deci-
sion. The N.RA oil code will remain.
The capitalist insanity of destroying oil,
wheat, cotton and corn in order to main
tain high prices. will continue.
The Roosevelt policy of curtailing oil

production is directly in the interests of
the Wall Street Standard Oil monopoly.
The Supreme Court decision permits
Roosevelt to continue his attempts to
drive the small competitors of Rockefel-
Ter out of business.
The New Deal-capitalist robbery of the
masses will not be stopped by any
Supreme Court decisions. The Supreme
Court is part and parcel of the New Deal
capitalist swindle of the masses. Only
the workers themselves can abolish the
insanity of destroying wealth to main
tain profit

Food, Not Booklets

BOOKLETS won't buy milk and orange
II Juice for babies"
This was the reply of miners wife
to Edward ]. McGrady, Roosevelts assist
ant secretary of labor
After the woman had wildly described
the hunger, sickness and death of children
in West Virginia mining communities since
the crisis began, McGrady caIIously de-
clared
II will be glad to send you the Labor
Departments booklets on child care
The reply of the miners wife was cor
rect; Booklets won't buy milk and orange
jcice for babies" Neither will the mean
ingless promises of Roosevelt himself.
The Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill CHR. 2827), adequate cash relief,
higher wages, lower food prices-these are
what the workers want, not booklets
These can be won only through united
mass struggle of all workers.
The National Congress for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance, which ended it's
sessions in Washington Monday, and to
which the miners wife was delegate. was
an important step in the development of
that struggle.
The job now is increased work in every
locality, in every union to broaden that
fight, drawing in additional millions OF
workers.

introduced as an emergency meas
ure, and, now that it has served its
purpose, it has been discarded. Now,
bread, flour and certain cereals are
being sold in the open stores for
anybody to buy as much as he wants
and the kind ne prefers
But open stores" and open
trade" in the Soviet Union are
something different than trade in
capitalist country, for the simple
reason that these stores are gov
eminent or cooperative owned.
The private trader is practically
nonresident, and open trade" here
means Soviet trade, cooperative
trade. In the words of ,Comrade
Stain, it is trade without capital
lists, without profiteers. 1t is this
kind of trade that is fostered by
the Communist Party and the So
Wet Government as means of
further raising The material we'll
being of the toiling masses.
MORE C0mm0dltleS
The further increase in COM
modify circulation is of vital i'm
portance in view of the fact that
the purchasing power Of the popu-
lation, both workers and collective
farmers, is constantly increasing.
By decision of the government,
| following the decision of the
Plenum of the Central Committee
of the Party, the prices for bread
and other bakery products have
now been fixed at sum which is
between the very low prices of the
formerly rationed bread and the
considerably higher prices obtaining
in the open market. The workers
and employees who will thus have
to pay a somewhat higher price for
| their bread will be compensated by
a corresponding increase in wages.
The total amount of the increase
in wages will reach 4,200,000,00
roubles in 1885.
However, the actual significance
of this rise in wages extends far
beyond this amount 1t is clear
and it is the expressed object Of the
Party and the government-that by
doing away with the double price
system the Soviet rouble will b.
come more stabilized and its value
greatly enhanced. The abolition Of
the rationing system, first for bread
and cereals and subsequently for
other rationed products, will bring
about a lowering of prices generally
The abolition of bread rationina
is thus a great step forward toward
the realization of one of the main
tasks of the Second Five Year Plan:
to improve the material and cul-
tural well-being of the toilers.

Welcome SUPPORT

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY New York
" Methodist ministers have gone on
record attacking William Randolph
Hearsts campaign against the Communist
Party.
In resolution to the Dickstein COM
mittee the ministers recognize in this
terrorism particularly vicious and insidi-
Gus form of propaganda because it mas
querades under the guise of patriotism
which is directed at the very spirit and
practice of free inquiry, discussion and
teaching
The Daily Worker welcomes this support
from non-Communists and urges the united
action of all social-minded groups against
Hearst's drive.
Growing numbers of workers, liberals
and intellectuals, are coming to the realiza-
ton that the Hearst fascist venom against
the Communist Party looms as a menace
to every semblance of civil rights or honest
social-minded activity.
They are coming to see that from the
outlawing of the Communist Party there
will quickly develop the smashing of the
trade unions, the Socialist Party, and all
progressive movements turning the whole
life of the country into a fascist prison
house
The fight against Hearst's anti-Red
drive must be spread into every section of
the country's population willing to defend
their position against the advance of fas-
cism.
The trade unions and the Socialist Party
have serious responsibilities in this respect
which cannot be ignored. All must be
drawn into the united front against
fascism!

By r. LEON

THE bread baker is getting a lot of
publicity in the Soviet news
papers these days. Almost Haily re-
ports are printed of meetings of
bread bakers, interviews with bread
bakers. biographies of the best
craftsmen among the bread bakers.
While existing bakeries are thus
undergoing close public scrutiny
new bakeries are being built and
equipped with machinery in every
Soviet city and town. Bakeries vie
with each other in the matter of
organizing the production of bread
and rolls of higher grades and of
greater variety. At the same
time new special bread stores are
opening up everywhere and grocery
stores are increasing their facilities
for selling bread and other bakery
products. Here, also, stress is laid
on variety and higher quality
End of Bread Card
The abolition of the bread ration
ing system marks definite adj
vance in the matter of improving
the material conditions of the toll
ing population of the country. and
it has been accepted and enthusi-
astically welcomed as such by the
masses of the Soviet Union. Ger
tain foreign bourgeois newspapers
may have theories of their own to
explain" this new development.
But these theories are apparently
devised to outshout the facts which
certainly do not make pleasant
music for anti-Soviet ears.
The gist of the situation was best
formulated by Comrade MolotoV
Chairman of the Council of Peo-
pies Commissars) in his report on
the question of the abolition of the
bread card system at the Plenum
of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, hello in November. When
the bread card system was intro
duced. in 1923, Soviet industry en-
tered a period of unprecedented de-
velopment. 1t will be remembered
that 1928 was the beginning of the
First Five Year Plan period. At
that time agriculture was still far
behind technically and, socially, it
represented the private property
sector of national economy. The
production of grain was still over
whelmingly in the hands of millions
of individual peasant producers and
the Kulsks, the village rich, were
still a considerable force in the
countryside.
At that time. to leave the matter
of feeding the workers in the cities

market would have meant putting
socialist industry at the mercy of
the capitalist elements. The intro
duction of the rationing system was
a necessary step to insure an unin-
terrupted food supply for the urban
population, in the first place, for
the workers in industry. At the
same time it made it possible for
the government to carry out ra-
tioning policy which was to insure
particularly favorable conditions for
the most important industrial cen
tiers. for the best workers.
While the rationing system was
introduced primarily to safeguard
the interests of developing socialist
industry, it also served the inter-
ests of agriculture Industry paid
back in the form of tractors, har-
vester combines, modern agricul-
tural equipment with which it has
been supplying the countryside in
ever increasing quantities. The in
dustries which were built up in the
course of the realization of the first
Five Year Plan with the aid of the
food supplies rationed out to the
workers at very low prices helped in
| their turn to mechanic agriculture,
equip it with modern machinery,
and thus furnish the basis for the
success of collectivization in the
country and the creation of large
scale agriculture. Now, with the
kulak class eliminated and the
overwhelming majority of peasant
households organized in large col
lective farms, socialist agriculture
has gained a firm foothold for itself
and agricultural production has
been put on a rational basis which
insures an ever growing increase in
the output of agricultural products.
New Socialist Era
The new socialist era in Soviet
agriculture was most wildly exem-
plified by this years harvest. Not
withstanding the fact that some
sections of the country had been
badly hit by the drought, the total
grain harvested was not less than
| in 1888 when the country had a
bumper crop. Moreover, thanks to
the campaign carried on by the
Communist Party and the Soviet
government for a better organiza-
ton of the harvest work the amount
of grain actually gathered is about
100000 tons more than last year
The changed position of Soviet
agriculture made it unnecessary to
continue the bread rationing system
with its cumbersome machinery OF
distribution and accounting. The
rationing~ system was never re-
/ garded as an ideal. 1t had beer

Regatta Relay
Leach S P| Ian

If you think you've seen thrills
and spills during the running Of
previous regattas, you've got
much to learn.
That is, provided Commodore
L. Gordon Leech, chairman Of the
race committee Of the Presidents
Cup Regatta, to be held on the
Potomac next month, is able to
complete his plans for a relay
race for outboards, involving four
famous amateur drivers against
four outstanding professionals.
The first boats, probably F
class outboardS, which develop a
speed of so miles an hour, would
be started by the officials. The
pilots would carry a baton slightly
longer than those used in track
meets. After circling the course,
the pilot would pass the baton to
his mate who would already be
going at full speed. Four laps
would be run with appropriate
trophies going to the winner.
The professionals could have
such speedsters as Fred Jacoby.
Frank Vincent, Bob Meyer, Ernie
Millot, j. c. Waller and C. Mul.
ford Scull, all Of whom are high
in the race for 1885 honors.
The amateurs could oppose with
such brilliant drivers as Joel
