way out of the crisis begins with the
fight for unemployment insurance,
against wage cuts, for wage increases,

The Communist Party calls upon
the workers, farmers and impover-

forces to struggle uncompromisingly
against every reduction of their liv-

THE crisis of the capitalist system
is becoming more and more q ca
tastrophe for the workers and toiling
masses. Growing millions of the ex-
plotted population are faced with in
creased difficulties in finding the
barest means of livelihood. Unem-
ployment relief is being drsstically
cut and in many cases abolished al
together. Real wages are being re-
duced further every month, and labor
is being speeded up to an inhuman
degree.
The vast majority of the poor
farmers are slowly but surely being
squeezed off the land and thrown on
the free" labor market to compete
with the workers. The oppressed
Negro people are loaded down with
the heaviest economic burdens, espe-
cially of unemployment, denied even
the crumbs of relief given to the
starving white masses, and further
subjected to bestial lynch law and
Jim-Crowism. Women workers and
housewives are especially sufferers
from the crisis, and from the fascist
movements to drive them out of in
dustry. Millions of young workers
are thrown upon the streets by the
closing of schools and simultaneous
ly are denied any chance to earn their
living in the industries.

food and clothing.
It would open up the tremendous
accumulation Of unused buildings
now withheld for private prOft-for
the benefit of tens of millions who now
wander homeless in the streets or
crouch in cellars or slums.
Such q government would immedi-
ately provide an endless flow Of come
modities to replace the stores thus
used up by opening up all the factor
les, mills and mines, and giving every
person a job at constantly increasing
wages.
All former claims to ownership Of
the means of production, including
stocks, bonds, ETC., would be relegated
to the museum with special provisions
to protect small savings. No public
funds would be paid out to anyone
except for services rendered to the

to cover all loss of work due to causes
outside the control of the workers,
whether by closing of factories, by
sickness, old age, maternity, or other
wise, at full wages without special
costs to the workers.
Such q government would immedi-
ately begin to reorgsnize the present
anarchic system of production along
Socialist lines. It would eliminate the
untold waste of capitalism; it would
bring to full use the tremendous
achievements of science, which have
been pushed aside by the capitalist
rulers from consideration of private
profit. Such a Socialist reorganiza-
ton of industry would almost imme-
diately double the existing productive
forces of the country. Such revo-
lutionary government would secure to
the farmers the possession of their
land and provide them with the neces-
sary means for a comfortable living:
it would make it possible for the farm

cooperative socialist agriculture.

What the ''Ne,C Deal" Has
Giuen the Workers

The suffering masses have been
told to look to Washington for their
salvation. Mr.. Roosevelt and his
New Deal have been decked out with
the rainbow promises of returning
prosperity But the bitter truth is
rapidly being learned that Roosevelt
and his New Deal represent the Wall
Street bankers and big corporations
finance capital-just the same as
Hoover before him, but carrying out
even fiercer attacks against the liv-
ing standards of the masses of the
people. Under Roosevelt and the
New Deal" policies, the Public
Treasury has been turned into huge
trough where the big capitalists eat
their fill Over ten billion dollars has
been handed out to the banks and
corporations, billions squeezed out of
the workers and farmers by imitation
and by all sorts of new taxes upon
the masses. Under the Roosevelt
regime, the main burden of taxation
has been shifted away from the big
capitalists onto the impoverished
masses.
The N.RA. and the industrial
codes have served further to enrich
the capitalists by establishing fixed
monopoly prices, speeding up trusti-
fcation, and squeezing out the
smaller capitalists and independent
producers.
The labor provisions of the N.R.A.,
which were hailed by the A. F. of L.
and Socialist leaders as "a new char
ter for labor" have turned out in
reality to be new chains for labor
The fixing of the so-called minimum
wage, at below starvation levels, has
turned out in reality to be big effort
to drive the maximum wage down to
this point. The so-called guarantee
of the right to organize and collective
bargaining has turned out in reality
to be the establishment of the COM
pany unions. The last remaining
rights of the workers they now pro-
pose to take away by establishing
compulsory arbitration under the
Wagner Bill, camoufaged as an at
tempt to guarantee workers rights.
Roosevelt has given official govern
mental status to the company unions,
in the infamous settlement" in the
auto industry. This new step toward
fascism is announced as new
course" to apply to all industries.
All these domestic policies are
openly recognized as identical in their
content with the measures of pro-
fessed fascist governments. This
rapid movement toward fascism in
the United States goes hand in hand
with the sharpening of international
antagonisms and the most gigantic
preparations for war ever before wit
messed in a pre-war period. More
than billion dollars has been ap-
propriated for war purposes during
this year. A large proportion of this
has been taken directly out of the
funds ostensibly appropriated for
public works. Hundreds of millions
are being spent on military training
in the so-called Civil Conservation
Camps, run by the War Department.
The policies of the government in
Washington have one purpose, to
make the workers and farmers and
middle classes pay the costs of the
crisis, to preserve the profits of the
big capitalists at all costs, to estab-

Example Of the Revolutionary
WGy Out

The program of the revolutionary
solution of the crisis is no blind ex-
pertinent. The working class is al
ready in power in the biggest coun-
try in the world, and it has already
proved the great superiority of the
Socialist system. While the crisis
has engulfed the capitalist countries
at the same time in the Soviet Union,
where the workers rule through their
Soviet power, new Socialist society
is being VIGOROUSLY built.
The Russian working class, from
its own resources and it's Socialist
system, restored the national econo-
my which had been shattered by six
years Of imperialist war and inter
vention. 1t overcame the age-long
backwardness of Russia and brought
its industrial production to the first
place in Europe, to more than three
times the pre-war figure. 1t rooted
out the last breeding ground of capt.
talism by the successful inclusion of
agriculture in the Socialist system.
1t completely abolished unemploy-
ment and tremendously raised the
material well-being and cultural stand
ards of the toiling masses. Upon the
basis of its Socialist system, the So
Wet Union has become the most pow
erful influence for peace in an other
wise war-mad world.
It's victories are an amending source
of inspiration and encouragement to

perialist war abroad.
4. F. Of L. and Socialist Party
Leaders Support Roosevelt
How can the workers and farmers
fight against these policies which are
driving them into starvation? The
leaders of the A. F. of L. have open
ly identified themselves with the poll
cies of the Roosevelt administration.
To the extent that these leaders con-
troll the trade unions, they prevent
or demorahze the struggles of the
workers and deliver them helpless
into the hands of the capitalists
The Socialist Party supports the A.
F of L, leaders and endorses and &C
lively supports every particular
policy of the New Deal: imitation,
N.R.A, A.A.A., P.W.A., C.W.A.,
C,C.C., Wagner Bill, ETC., hailing
these fascist and war measures as
steps toward Socialism"
1t is clear that the workers and
farmers cannot fight back the capital
list attacks unless they break away
from the policies of the A. F. of L.
and Socialist Party leaders. AS
against the united front which these
leaders have set up with the capt.
talist government, the toiling masses
must establish their own working
class united front from below. against
the capitalist class and the Roosevelt
administration.

the tolllng masses of every country.
They are the living example of the
possibility of finding way out of the
crisis in the interests of the toilers.
The experience of the victorious
workers of the Soviet Union before,
during and after the seizure of power,
throw a brilliant light showing the
path which must be followed in every
land, the path of Bolshevism, of
Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stain.
The Workers Took the Wrong
Path in Germany and Austria
In the same period of successful
testing of the Bolshevik road in the
Soviet Union, we have also the ex-
ample of the results of the policies of
the Socialist Parties of the Second
international. The Socialist Parties
stood at the head of the majority of
the working class in Germany and
Austria. The revolutionary upheavals
of 1918 in these countries placed
power in the hands of the Socialist
Parties. Their leaders repudiated the
Bolshevik road, and boosted of their
contrasting civilized" peaceful"
democratic" gradual transition to
Socialism" through a coalition gov
eminent together with the bour-
geoisie on the basis of restoring the
shattered capitalist system. To this
end they crushed the revolution in
1918.
They followed the policy of "the
lesser evil" supported the govern
ment of Bruening with its emergency
DEGREES against the workers, disarmed
the working class, led the workers to
vote for Field Marshal Won linden
burg, and finally crowned their infamy
by voting in the Reichstag for Hitler
after having paved the way for fas-
cism since 1918. In Austria they sup
ported the Dollfuss fascist govern
ment as the "lesser evil" until the
moment when Dolfuss turned his
cannons aainst the homes of the Aus
trian workers.
Their civilized" methods opened
wide the gates for the most barbarous
regime in the modern history of Eu-
rope. Their peaceful methods gave
birth to the most bloody and violent
reaction. Their democracy" brought
forth the most brutal and open capt.

transition to Socialism" helped to re-

Only Unemployment Insurance
Bill Is That Of the Com
InuEiiSt Party

nIurISt Party
1t is no accident that the onlv seri-
GUS project for unemployment insur-
ance that has come before the Con-
gress of the United States is the
Workers Bill, H.R. 1927, which was
worked out and popularized among
the masses by the Communist Party.
Only the Communist Party has made
real fight for unemployment insur-
ance and by this fight finally forced
before the Congress the first and only
bill to provide real unemployment in
surance.
It is no accident that the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill is be-
ing bitterly fought not only by the
Republican and Democratic parties.
but also by the American Federation
of Labor and the Socialist Party lead
ers, as well as by little groups of their
satellites, Musteites,. Trotskyites. and
Lovestoneites.
It is no accident that whenever a
plg strlke movement breaks out, the
capitalist press shrieks that it is due
to Communist influence, and the A.
F. of L. and Socialist Party leaders
wall that the masses have gotten be-
yond their control.
1t is true that all struggle for daily
bread, for milk for children, against
evictions, for unemployment relief
and insurance, for wage increases, for
the right to organize and strike, etc.,
are directly connected up with the
question of revolution. Those who
are against the revolution, who want
to maintain the capitalist system, are
prepared to sacrifice these struggles
of the workers in order to help the
capitalists preserve their profits.
Only those can courageously lead

Only the Communist Party
Fights for the Workers

Only the Communist Party has
consistently organized and led the re-
sistance to the capitalist attacks.
The enemies of the Communist Party
try to scare away the workers and
farmers from this struggle by shout
ing that the Communist Party is in
terested only in revolution, that it is
not sincerely trying to protect the
living standards of the masses. Thew
do this in order to hide the fact that
they, one and all, pursue the single
policy of saving the profits of the
capitalists, no matter what it NAV
cost in degrading the living standards
of the masses.
The Communist Party declares that
wages must be maintained no matter
what is the consequence to capitalist
profits.
The Communist Party declares that
unemployment insurance must be pro-
vided at the expense of capitalist
profits.
The Communist Party declares that
the masses of workers and farmers
must not only fight against reduction
In their living standards, but must
win constantly increasing living
standards at the expense of capital
list profits.
The Communist Party declares, if
the continuation of capitalism re-
quires that profits be protected at the
price of starvation, fascism and war
for the masses of the people, then the
quicker capitalism is destroyed the
better.
