Constitution reflected this, preserv-
ing some advantages for the indus
trial proletariat in comparison with
the more scattered masses in the
villages. The Party must explain
the temporary character of these
advantages, which is historically
linked with the difficulties of So
cialist organization of the villages. ;
Now when the chief difficulties
OF this type have been overcome, the
question regarding the constitu-
tional advantages also has
changed. The Central Committee
of the Party, headed by Stain, is
fulfilling the many gigantic tasks
left for the Party by Lenin, one of
which, an exceptionally important
task, is fulfilled in this proposal to
make appropriate changes in the
Soviet Constitution.
"This is another development of
the highest form of democracy.
This is a further strengthening of
the dictatorship of the proleta-
riat. This is further step to-
wards the development of previ-
ously unheard-of mass creative
ness. It increases the response
bility of the Communists, to at
tract new millions into active
construction"

great insistence the thesis that the
Soviet State, the dictatorship of the
proletariat, is at the same time a
higher type of democracy, democ-
racy for the Overwhelming majority
of the people, democracy for the
toilers. The program of the Party
written by Lenin states:
"'Any restriction of freedom
whatsoever is necessary exclu-
sively as a temporary measure in
the fight against the attempts of
the eXploiters to defend or restore
their privileges. According to the
extent to which the objective pos
sibility of the exploitation of man
by man disappears, the necessity
of these temporary measures will
disappear, and the Party will
strive to diminish, and then fully
abolish them.
This line of feminist principle
the Party has undeviatingly carried
out, suppressing the exploiters and
all their agents of various calibres
of various shades.

MalOy Killing

CHICAGO, Ill, FEB. 5. - While

made in finding the murderers Of

cago Moving Picture Operators
Union, murdered by gunner yes
terday, indications today point to
revival of gang warfare between
gangster officials in other unions

officials, it is feared by union work
ers, will bring great harm to or

fetal sources in Germany. No
statement has yet been issued by
the Fascist government, though
one is promised as soon as the Nazi
government has "digested" the
proposals.
One report says that Hitler in
formed the British ambassador
Phipps that Germany might accept,
in principle, the British French
proposal for mutual aerial defense.
The proposals we're welcome here,
1t was said, because they embody
recognition of Germany's air feet.
Germany is denied military air
force under the Versailles treaty.
But the British French agreement
recognizes Germany's right to an
air force by envisaging its inclusion
in the proposal for a treaty under
which Germany, Britain, France
and Belgium would pledge them
selves to aid each other with planes
in the event Of war.
Paris newspapers are exultant
over the British French agreement,
limiting that if France were at
tackled, the promised aid of the
British air force necessarily would
include the British army and navy.
The French press considered the
agreement so favorable to it that
they expressed doubt whether Ger
many would accept. They said that
Fascist Germany would be forced to
find an indirect way to refuse it
because direct rejection would leave
the Nazi Reich in the position of re-
fusing to cooperate in an effort to
consolidate peace"
The Belgian cabinet met today
and approved in principle the
French British agreement.
Some of the German officials, in
an interview with the Associated
Press, declared that the London
proposals were "old stuff" They
said that there is no chance of Ger
many's accepting it in it's present
form.
London official sources declared
that the British government would
not support the French proposals
for an Eastern Locarno pact for
mutual assistance of the Eastern
European countries. The Eastern
Locarno pact is backed by the Soviet
Union, which has already made
agreements with France for the
maintenance of existing borders,
and for the securing of peace of the
Eastern European countries.

added, lust as emphatically as we

vide adequate relief Immediately for

Urges Profit Tax
Discussing sources of funds"
Miss Van Kleeck said at is basic in
the Workers Bill that the sources
Of funds come from general tax
alton and from income taxes and
taxes on inheritance and gifts.
1t is sound principle to undertake
this redistribution of the national
income in period Of crisis to meet
mass unemployment by tax on
profits and higher incomes.
"Other proposals, which call for
the Withholding Of part of the
wages of workers and tax on pay
rolls, which is inevitably passed on
to the consumer tend merely to re-
arrange workers income, decreasing
current earnings in the interest of
building up reserve funds against
future unemployment. These funds
enter into channels Of investment,
which really constitute increase in
the debt burden of American in
dilstry and still further throw out
Of gear the purchasing power of the
people in relation to productive
capacity"

from further wage cuts and firing
of union men, was brought forward
in order to confuse the workers
and prevent a solid response to a
strike call
The Communist Party hal
pointed out during the week since
the strike Monday that the post
ponement of action, while showing
fear of the organized action of the
workers, was a maneuver to give
shipping companies and Mayor La
Guardia more time to prepare a
strikeb-eaking machinery.
Ryan's Statement
Joseph Ryan, president of the l.
l.. A. and Michael Casual, vice
president I. B. of T., in a statement
during the week had paved the way
for the issuing of such decision,
by declaring that the workers would
be satisfied with it.
"The only thing that might save
the situation in the event the in
junction is signed would be if it
carried the right to appeal and a
stay pending the determination of
the appeal"
Following the signing of the in
junction. Edward G. Mcguire, at
torney for the unions, declared:
The grant of the stay prevents
the abuses in the way of wage cuts
and discharges of union men which
followed the publication of the
opinion, from continuing, while the
case is being reviewed in the higher
court. AS long as the unions are
not left in the position where they
can be broken down while the case
is being reviewed, think they will
be content to await a decision of
a higher court"

will be fled this month.

Police Threaten Leader
At this point police we're mObil-
lied in a vain effort TO bludgeon
the workers into submission. Police
attempted to enter through the win
dows and transoms but we're pushed
back by the resolute workers. In
retaliation, the police hurled cpl
thets through the transom and
threatened to get" Jerome Ben
ton, organiser Of the Lower West
Side Unemployment Councils, who
led the workers.
The workers attempted to use the
telephone, but we're denied the use
of an outside wire by the switch
board operator. Undaunted, the
workers took up a collection, penny
by penny, and delegated two work
ers to transmit telegraph messages
to Corsi and Mayor LaGuardia.
Three members Of the Workers
Unemployed Union, one a member
Of the City Central Committee, were
present. During the meeting, he
was asked to speak. He declared
that in the present time, any div
ision in the ranks of the unem-
ployed was nothing short of Grim
insl. Taking up the cry for unity,
the assembled jobleSs urged imme-
date steps to cement a united front
between the Unemployment Coun-
ellis and the Workers Unemployed
Union. He evaded this, however.
At four o'clock the assemblage
again sent committee past the
police who barred the already barri-
caded entrance, and placed their
demands again.
Again they were met with a fiat
refusal.
Mounting a desk, Jerome Benton
addressed the workers. All the
things that you have been saying
about the relief administration are
true he said. I'VE are still met
with the same cold blooded refusal;
we are still met by the police when
we raise the very necessary de-
mands that are a matter Of life and
death to us. These attacks upon
our very lives must be met with the
organized might of the unem-
ployed." He called upon them to
mobilize for the city-wide demon
STATIONS which will be held at every
relief bureau in the city next Mon
day.
The hungry little army filed out
past the waiting police, who this
time did not dare attack-outside
where another group Of support
ing workers cheered at seeing
their ccmra des in hunger.

FARM City Conflict

One OF the Oldest of all problems, how to recon-
cile the interests of men who work ON farms and
those who work in factories, is coming to the front
again.
Each group depends on the other, each buys the
products Of the other, AM you would think their In
terests would be the same. But there has been, and
is today, definite conflict of interests.
The current legal attack by professors on the
AAA is the thing that has brought the question into
relief. Here is a law taxing the consumer Through
the professor as collector) to benefit farmers and give
them the difference between low world prices for
farm products and the prices that we believe an Am
erican standard requires.
The big industrial professors and distributors are
now attacking this law as unconstitutional. Maybe it
is. Time and the courts will tell.
But from Texas farmers, who have benefited from
the AAA program, comes a counterattack. "An
right say they, "f you wreck the processing taxes
which protect us from ruinous world competition,
then Wen go out to wreck the tariffs that have pro-
tected you from world competition"
And of course the wages and jobs Of American
factory workers, as we'll as the profits OF the manu-
facturers, have been protected by the tariff from for
eign competition.
Thus the conflict. The farmers have always paid
higher prices for clothing and tools, because they
either paid the tariff on the imported kind or paid to
American makers a price equal 10 the foreign price
plus tariff. Now they say: you city people must pay
prices for wheat and corn equal to the foreign price
plus processing tax-or else.
The difference between tariff and processing tax
is mainly this: the money collected in tariffs goes In
to the general treasury for the use Of all. The money
from processing taxes is paid directly to farmers for
reducing crops. Thus there is apparently a differ
ence in their standing before the constitution.
But farmers are less interested in that than in the
simple giveand-take aspect Of the proposition. They
literally believe that what's sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
This is the essence of the problem at stake in the
present wave of professor suits against the AAA, and
in the counter-attack on industry starting in Texas.
The supreme court decision ON R and its forth
coming decision ON AAA may leave the essential prob
lem untouched, except for a broader study OF it than
the American people have ever given it before.

Writing Editorials

AS we begin to write the editorials to fill our ac-
customed space for the Herald we do not as a rule
seek subjects upon which to impress our opinion. We
worry little over what our readers think, granting
to them the same right OF opinions that we hold.
In truth, in writing our articles we realize that, In
the handling of any subject, we write the view Of a
minority, and that, in most cases, the vast majority OF
our readers will not agree, entirely, with our conclu-
sions. What then is the purpose Of editorials?
Interesting II possible; honest always, and the
truth, II a~ttainable, is the idea, not the stirring UP Of a
vigorous assent from a partisan mob. Take any sub
ject in the world, express your views positively one
way or the other, and you will receive much enthus-
iastic comment. Both sides are glad to get a parti-
san advocate; each is interested in triumph rather
than the truth. Discuss the subject carefully, dis
passionately, and with an eye ON the points on both
sides, and you will probably please the small element
in a community that thinks.
The small thinking element is the one that a COM
munity needs to cultivate, and 1t is the one to which
the editorials In The Herald are directed.
