TT IS now full year and half since
Roosevelt launched his housing program.
Yesterdays N.R.A report reveals that
with the $150,OOO,OOO at its disposal, the
housing program has thus far provided
only 154 homes for workers!
During this period, the war-building
program was far more efficient Roosevelt
has built more than 1000 bombing planes

THE links that bind Wall Streets fascist
plotters with the White House are
once again exposed in the latest state
ment Of General Smedley Butler.
Butler, who gave testimony before the
Dickstein Committee on Wall Streets fas-
cist conspiracies, declared two days ago
that Gerald P MacGuire, agent of the
Wall Street banks in the plot, twas able
to foretell administration actions weeks
before they occurred"
Butler also revealed that the Dickstein
Committee still keeps from the public vital
information involving the guilt of proni-
nent higher-ups, close to Roosevelt.

Comrade Editor:


Comrade Editor:
In an article which appeared in
the Daily Worker on February %,
David Levinson, attorney in recent
deportation cases, misquoted my re-
marks to the Commissioner of I'M
migration.
In particular, I did not use the
term alien" in speaking of foreign
born workers who are the allies of
the American workers in the
struggle against the exploiters.
Where it is necessary to desig-
nate the foreign-born workers who
are not recognized as citizens by the
capitalist government, the term
"ncn-cltizens" is to be preferred.
So far as the welfare of the Amer
lean people is concerned, not the
Uiichs, Carlsons and Richters, but
the Hearsts, J. P. Morgans and
Commissioners of Immigration are
the aliens"

Ethiopia or give news from the Italo-
Ethiopian front. Mingle with the peo-
pie and listen to what they say. They
don't care about Ethiopia, they have
an equal distrust for the Italian bulle
tins of victory and the imaginative
stories from Adds Ababa about hun
dreds of thousands of barbaric war
riors, led by chiefs with unpro-
nounceable names, marching to defend
their fatherland against the white in
vasion. What these Europeans are
saying and what they are thinking is:
How does this affect us?" and will
this war spread back to our coun-
tries?" and rs this the spark that will
fire the powder magazine of Europe,
charged with race hatred and arma-
ment three times greater than in
1912"
Take, for instance, Belgium, "the
cockpit of Europe" as they used to
call it, forced by its geographical po-
sition to be the center of strife between
England, France and Germany. The
Belgians are kindly, industrious folk,
not unprosperous, thanks to their own
efforts and the richness of their Kongo,
eager to welcome foreigners and want
ing nothing more than to live in peace
and friendliness with all their
neighbors.
Antwerp Remembers.
Antwerp. more perhaps than Brus-
sells, Is the true capital of this coun-
try, its commercial center and its
greatest port. Antwerp is a cos
mopolitan city in the truest sense of
the phrase. It lives by trade and the
free passage of merchandise, but it
hasn't forgotten the dark nights 20
years ago when Zeppelins sailed roar
ing through its skies and dropped their
bombs, which were re-echoed by the
thunder of the German siege guns.
Nor the long period Of stagnation
which followed, when Belgium lay
PROSTATE under Germany's iron heel.
They remember that in Antwerp
and in Brussels, too. In Belgium, one
gets a clear cross-section of the COM
mon mind of Europe, view of the
feelings of the average man or woman,
uninfiamed by race hatreds or wild
ambition, asking nothing save to go
about their business and live in peace.
It is interesting to note the Belgian
reaction to the League of Nations
program Of sanctions against Italy.
"But we have to live" ran a headline
in the leading Antwerp newspaper,
and its editorial explained that Belgo-
Italian trade was no unimportant
item in the nations commerce. If
that trade were Cancelled, Belgium
would lose heavily at a time of gen.
eral unemployment when all too many
mills and, factories were idle. From
this angle, the editorial stated, sane
tions were deplorable-just one more
barrier to trade. in addition to the
barriers already erected by "con-
tingents" and quotas" and "valuta
restrictions" Nevertheless, Belgium
must support the League as the sole
hope Of peace.
