or both reports, which have been
made public previously, the President
said:
These documents constitute re-
narkable foundation for what we
hope will be a permanent policy OF
orderly development in every part ol
the United States"
Then referring more directly to the
move for legislative ALLEGATION OF the
mammoth public-project fund. the
President said:
LAS 1 have already stated, it is only
because of the current emergency OF
unemployment and because of the
physical impossibility of surveying,
weighing and testing each and every
project that a segregation OF items Is
clearly impossible at this time.
For the same reason the conStl-
tuting of fixed and permanent admin
istrative machinery would retard the
immediate employment objective.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the hope
that after the immediate crisis of un-
employment begins to mend we can
afford to appropriate approximately
S5OO.O00O00 each year" for purposes
of an orderly development Of public
projects.
Lives Out of Balance.
Commenting on the two reports, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
Man and nature must work hand
In hand. The throwing out of bal
ance of the resources of nature
throws out of balance also the lives
Of men. We find millions of our citi-
zens stranded in village and on farm
stranded there because nature cannot
support them in the livelihood they
had sought to gain through her"
The presidential message went to a
House in the midst of debate on the
S4.00O,0OO.000 fund. The same meas
ure contained $3.50, 100000 for direct
relief pending the gradual transition
from a dole to work relief.

The organizational unification of
the Trade Unions affiliated to the
Red International of Labour Unions
and to the International Trade
Union Federation, as we'll as those
workers trade unions which are
outside of both the Internationals
could, in the opinion of the R. I.
L. U. and the trade unions of the
U. S. S. r., be carried out in the
following manner:
l. Amalgamation of parallel
unions and elections of manage
ments on the basis of proportional
representation.
@ Inner trade union democracy,
lie, freedom of opinion and the
right to defend ones views inside a
unified trade union organization.
g. Discipline in the struggle
against the capitalists.
An amalgamation of the parallel
organizations on a national scale
would be an important step for
ward along the road of building q
unified Trade Union International
on the basis of the class struggle.
This is the attitude of the r. l.
l.. u, as a whole, of the ALI Union

render every assistance in the
achievement of this aim.
The question of Trade Union
Unity is the most vital and impor-
tant problem of the international
trade union movement at the pres
ent time. Trade union unity is par
ticularly imperative today when the
offensive of capital on the living
standards Of the working class is
carried out all along the front, when
fascism brings terror, slavery and
starvation to the toilers and when
imperialist war threatens them with
new, unheard-of calamities. The
capitalists wish to shift the burden
of the crisis on to the shoulders of
the working class and it is precisely
because of this that unity of the
trade union organizations and unity
of action is now more imperative
than ever.
The r. l. L. U. as a whole and
its largest section, the trade unions
of the U. S. S. R., are the most
active supporters of rapid and
complete restoration of trade union
unity in every country and on an
international scale.
The attitude of the r, l. l.. u
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-02-08

towards the question of trade union
unity in individual countries is
fully reflected in the proposals
which were and are made by the
Unity General Confederation of
Labor &C. G. T. ID of France to the
General Confederation of Labor
&c. G. To This attitude of the c. G.
T. U. met with the sympathy and
support of not only all the revolu-
tionary trade unions of France, but
also of number of large unions
and declarations, affiliated to the
@. G. T., which declared for the
methods and forms of restoring
trade union unity, brought forward
by the G. @. T. U. of France. ST.
multaneously with the c. G. T. u,
other trade unions affiliated to the
R. I. L. U. (Czechoslovakia, Spain,
etc. also raised the question of
trade union unity.
Therefore, the decision of your
Congress on the necessity for trade
union unity has net sympathetic
response among the broadcast work
ing masses and is bound to facili-
tate the orgenizational unification
Of the trade unions for the struggle
against capital,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-02-08

The R. I. L. U. Executive Bureau
which fully consents to meet your
wish half way believes that the pro-
gram which met with the sympathy
and support of the French working
masses may be adopted as the basis
for the restoration of trade union
unity on an international scale. We
consider that this platform of the
unification of the world trade union
movement should contain the fol-
lowing points:
l. Struggle against age-cuts and
for wage increases.
2. Struggle for social insurance,
including ncn-contributory unem-
ployment insurance.
3. Struggle for the freedom of
workers organizations, for freedom
of speech, assembly and workers
press.
4. Struggle against fascism and
the danger of a new imperialist war.
Thus, class struggle against capt.
tai and for the immediate demands
and general aims of the working
class should serve as the basis for
the organizational unifcstion of the
trade union movement.
