RO0Sevelt'S Budget

THROUGHOUT the course of the Roose-
welt regime there has been a wide gap
between his promises to the masses and
his actual program. This divergence be-
tween glowing promise and empty deed is
again sharply brought out in his budget message
to Congress.
Only last Friday Roosevelt spoke of launching
"a new order of things" which would provide for
human security" But the cold facts of the budget
which the test of the sincerity of his pledge to
the masses, show that Roosevelt does not provide
a single penny for federal system of social in
Surance to take care of the unemployed and the
aged or any other social need.
Instead the budget provides enormous sums for
the monopoly and war aims of the American capital
ist class. For the army and navy over 1902 $1,000
have been set aside for the fiscal year 1935-l936
an increase of 2350OO0OO over last years appropr
ations. This increase of Al per cent does not in
clude the hundreds of millions that will be spent
for CC.C. camps or for the building of warships
which are disguised public works expenditures
lures.
AS in last years budget only little over ten per
cent will be spent directly for the unemployed The
S9OO000000 that will be spent hopelessly made
quate even for the 100000 families who are to be
transferred to jobs public works at some time in
the future. And the 100000 900 that are to be
USED Ior pubic works Will IN the main be diverted
to military purposes and to substituting capitalist
contractors and manufacturers.
The workers have been condemned in advance
by Roosevelt who has laid down the rule that wages
on these public works Jobs must be lower than wages
paid by private employers This wage from all in
dlcations will be less than eight dollars week as
part OF the general campaign to lower wages which
Roosevelt is actively pushing. In setting these low
government wages for the unemployed he is carry
ing out the program laid down by the Chamber of
Commerce and the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The budget like all other aspects of Roosevelt's
program gives the workers nothing but the prospect
OF increased misery. Millions of unemployed are to
continue to starve. fraction of the army of Job
less are to be paid SubeXisence wages on the pub
lie works program which an important part of the
military preparations of the capitalist class The ma
tionsl debt which will be over sci 900 100000 on
June 80, 1885 will be raised to over S35 900 900
plus contingent debts of many more billions by June
80, 1896. This staggering burden is borne by the
masses since no attempt is made to make the rich
bear the tax load
Thus the budget proves again that the Roose-
welt program is for the benefit of the rich For the
masses 1t holds out nothing but the prospect of
lower and lower standards of living as the capital
lst class drives for faScism and war
The struggle against the Roosevelt program must
be intensified if the are not to be sacrificed
to the greedy aims of the capitalists

rious Coughlin found in Roosevelt's message q
parting Of the ways away from the financial few
to new social order" But Mark Sullivan. who is
under no obligation to throw dust into anybody's
eyes. speaks much more honestly than Coughlin
ct was as If Roosevelt came to the parting of
the ways Sullivan states and he definitely took
the right"
So where Coughlin pretends to see left turn to
new social order Wall Street sees exactly the OPP
posite, more open support for Wall Street capt.
talist rule!
Does not this show what a despicable role Cough
lin is playing in his service to Wall Street helping
the Wall Street monopolies and Roosevelt to put
over their reactonary program in the name of a
new social order?
Coughlins job is to give the workers the idea
that Roosevelts Wall Street program is a radical"
program-so that this Wall Street program can be
put into effect without the opposition Of the workers
who will suffer by it.
Coughlin brought out his familiar idea OF bank
ers' credit" versus Congressional money" But this
is also q typical Coughlin trick. Because all this
phoney money that Coughlin wants Congress to
print will sooner or later all find it's way right back
into the hands of the banks Just as before.
The printing Of new money will not be a bless
ing for the masses-it will be curse! For this in
fatonary currency will send the cost of living sky
rocketng to new heights and will bring misery and
starvation on scale that will make even the pres
ent misery look small. And the Wall Street Specu-
lators and bankers will reap harvest of gambling
profits!
Coughlin is the leading cleft" salesman for
Roosevelt's Wall Street program. He is an enemy

Robson on the SoVietUnion

THE announcement by Paul Robson, dis
tinguished Negro actor and singer, that
he plans to spend great deal of time in
the Soviet Union studying the Soviet solu-
ton of the problem of national minorities
and the problems of Negro culture all over the
world, is an event of 1rst-rate Importance
Robson is one of the greatest figures in Amer
lean art.
But he is Negro. And in the United States
where the atmosphere of American bourgeois cart"
smells of the slave-market where the Negro people
are subjected to a barbarous oppression that can
only come from the brutal reaction of capitalist
culture in its decline Robson found that his great
gifts could find for growth or free ex-
preston.
Now, Robson has found in the Soviet Union
what he. great and sensitive representative of
his people, has always been seeking.
Robson has found that the Workers and Farm
ers' Government of the Soviet Union that the pro-
letarian dictatorship, has cleansed the whole life of
the Soviet Union of the filth of race hatred and
oppression. In the Soviet Union for the first time
in the history of the human race absolute social and
political equality for all natonalities exists as firm
government policy The result has been an extra
ordinary Towering of all national cultures under
the great slogan of Stain national in form, pro-
letarian in content"
The example of Robson shows us the road that
must be travelled in the United States to the
hideous stains of jin-crow oppression.
1t is the working class, fighting for the reyolu-
tionary seizure of power, which alone can destroy
the power of Wall Street which is the fountain head
Of all race hatreds and oppression
In the oppressed Negro people, the working class
OF America has its most important ally. And only

A FEW WORDS ABOUT
LONGSHORE CONDITIONS
AMI RECRUITING

THE point here is that the 10c an
hour gained by the longshore-
men does not cover the increased
speed-up land therefore decreased
hours of work. and rise in living
costs during the years period from
October, 1888 to October, 1884.
Furthermore, since the signing of
the new agreement there has been
still greater cutting of the size of
gangs so that the average long
shoreman is making less now than
under the old scale. The I. L. A.
takers are trying to use this 10c an
hour increase as a sop to cover up
their betrayal of the basic demands
and interests of the men.
OF course the Party on the water
front has repeatedly stressed that
the 10c an hour increase was won
as a result of the great West Coast
struggle and the bosses fear OF mill
tant action in the Atlantic Coast
ports, and that more could have
been gained if the Party and the
militant elements had been stronger
on the waterfront in New York
The main line of the Party and the
rank and file movement has beer
to prevent the wiping out of this
wage gain by trying to organize and
lead the concrete struggle against
speed-up raising the demand for
larger gangs, smaller drafts, etc..
1t is in place here also to report
that the recruiting pact of the thret
waterfront Sections has not beer
forgotten, but is being carried out
The result is that of the quota of A

back called for three cheers for the
Soviet Power and the meeting ex-
ploded into a loud "Oorah!"
Then came the reading of the list
of nominees to the Soviet. 1t began.
From year to year we elect also
Comrade Lenin as our first deputy!'
and burst of applause interrupted
the reading. Then, amidst cheers,
Stain, Molotov, Voroshilov, Ordjon-
ikidzie, Kalinin, Kuibishev, Kossior.
Rudzutak, Krupskaya, Thaelmann,
Bulganin, and others we're elected
honorary deputies of this plant, not
cutting down its list of worker
deputies.
Other Plants Do Likewise
Other plants all over the Soviet
Union we're doing the same. Prob
ably Stain has been elected in this
manner to every Soviet in the whole
country.
Then the list of deputies to the
Moscow Soviet was read-many of
them were workers here for long
periods, 20 years or more.
After the list was read, the chair
man called loudly and distinctly,
pausing an appreciate time for an
answer, on any one present who
wished to propose the withdrawal
of any name from the list. No one
did
Then the chairman called for
nominations of additional names to
the list This is one of the demo
cratic features of the soviet cleo
ton law. Not only could anybody
have nominated an opposition list
IN advance, but here, right at the
election, any individual could have
risen and nominated another, or
several, or full list of deputies.
And the meeting would have voted
on them all individually. those re-
ceiving the highest votes getting
the offices. In America, nominees
for public office have to be made
ahead of time, and in most cases
either by established" parties, with
big votes in previous elections, or
by means of a long and expensive
petition circulation for a certain
number of thousands of signatures
of qualified voters.
In another election meeting l
have just seen, of 2,089 workers of
the Red Rose" silk mill in
Moscow, workers did rise in the
audience and nominate three names.
These were automatically added to
the list, and discussion as to their
merits followed right in the cleo
ton meeting.
AT the Trekhgornaya mill meeting
no new nominations were made. The
list has already been thoroughly dis
cussed, each nominee had had to
give an account of himself at open
meetings, and everybody was sat
isfied. The nominees were put to
vote which was unanimous.
After that the whole crowd, with
the workers of many other factories
joining with them after their plants
had voted. went down to the square
before the Moscow Soviet building
to demonstrate their solidarity with
the government they had Jus {
chosen. Through half the night.
cheering throngs of voters paraded
past the Moscow Soviet.

Coughlin Us. Sullivan

THE radio priest, Father Coughlin, pulled
another of his characteristic stunts in
his radio speech this Sunday.
Taking Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress as his text, Coughlin hailed it as a
pledge that "henceforth the financial privileges of
the few shall disappear"
In his fanciest style this radio priest; who has
close connections with Wall Street bankers and
capitalists. issued stentorian warnings to the priv
legged that Roosevelt was ushering in new social
order
All this radical blather mind you is on the
basis of Roosevelts message to Congress calling for
the smashing of all Federal relief for the millions
of joblessl
But let us see what the capitalists themselves
the Wall Street privileged, the financial clioues
think of this terrible Roosevelt message on the new
social order"
IT turns out that Wall Street is highly tickled
Ssfh Rooseveits message, that the privileged nan
,-ai groups" delighted with what Roosevelt is
giving them in the coming year!
THE Herald Tribune political writer, Mark Sulli-
van, spokesman for one of the most reactionary
cliques in Wall Street, writes of RooSevelt's mes
sage in these happy words
"Roosevet's address to Congress on Friday was

fronts have entered into a Socialist
competition pact, setting for them
selves quotas for recruiting long,
shoremen into the Party and a pro-
gram of Communist activity on the
/ docks.
1t is of course to be hoped that
the resolution signed by representa-
tives Of these three sections, and
printed in the November 18th Daily
Worker, will not be forgotten, as
unfortunately is the case with many
challenges for Socialist competition
within the Party. Intense efforts to
concentrate the efforts of these sec
lions to work on the docks should
result in giving our Party foun-
dalton in this most basic industry
in New York.
Nevertheless, while the resolution
outlines a series of practical meas
ures to guide the sections, the fol-
lowing, from the resolution, indi-
Gates a wrong approach, and unless
it is corrected, much intense activ-
ity, will still bring little result. 1t
reads:
"Once more the corrupt Ryan
machine in the International
LongshOremen Association has
succeeded in putting over a SELL
out agreement, which spurns the
basic demands and needs Of the
rank and file. The agreement in
corpcrates none of the real eonces-
siOns gained on the West Coast,
and leaves the longshoremen in
relatively worse position than
under the old agreement"
It is true that the East Coast
agreement does not include some of
the concessions granted on the West
Coast especially the thirty-hour
week, six-hour day, and partial con-
troll of the hiring hall, But is it not
fact that the wage scale now is
IS cents per hour, $1.35 for over
time, as against the previous IS
cents and SIPS overtime?
We cannot tell a longshoreman
that IS cents per hour makes him
worse off than IS cents. But we can
tell him that what he gained on the
East Coast, is due chiefly to the
fact that the workers on the West
Coast through a three-month strike
under militant leadership and Com
munist guidance and the General
Strike, and that on the East Coast
the threat of such strike, have
forced the increases. We can fur
Their show the longshoremen, that
failure to gain the other concessions
of the West Coast, is only due to the
fact that Ryan in full cooperation
with the shipowners engineered the
recent agreement so ss to rob the
workers of the rest of the conces-
sions which could have been easily
won, if at least energetic measures
were taken to prepare for strike
We must show the workers that it
is not Ryan's secret conferences
which resulted in the gains, but the
willingness to struggle by the work
ers, Of which Ryan advised the
shipoWnerS.
Only such positive attitude will
root the Party among the workers
Closing our eyes to realities only
plays into the hands of the Ryans
