Harvest or Blood

CONSTITUTIONAL guarantees in Cuba
y are made to suit the needs of the Wall
Street sugar barons.
Just as the sugar harvest starts in that
semi-colony of the American bankers and
trusts, all constitutional guarantees are
suspended for period of 80 days. In other
words, the Cuban workers will be forced
to harvest the sugar and grind it under
the rule of machine guns and bayonets.
What better service could the American
sugar trusts and the stock and bondholders
wish Of their Cuban puppet government,
the Mendieta regime?
No strikes against starvation conditions
are allowed. The peasants are forced, by
a show of military strength, to sell their
sugar cane at the price offered by the
American trusts.
This is imperialist colonial oppres-
sion. Harvest or blood" is the slogan
of Col. Batista. That means the flow
of gold into the American bankers cof-
fers must be unimpeded or the flow of
workers blood will be Embossed.
Will we sit by and permit our Cuban
brothers to be bludgeoned in this fashion?

Exposing L. S. FasciSi

THE series on "Wall Streets Fascist Con-
L spiracy." announced to begin next Fri
day in the Daily Worker, will be a deep
going exposure of irst-rate political I'M
portance.
The result of thorough investigation
into the secrets of Wall Street, financial
capital of American capitalism, the series
has been prepared by the Daily Workers
Washington correspondent, Marguerite
Young, working in cooperation with John
L. Spivak, whose exposure of the Nazis has
established his standing as an expert in
vestigator and Sender Garlin, whose work
on the Daily Worker has made him famil-
lar to all our readers.
In addition, specialists in several fields.
whose names, for obvious reasons, cannot
be mentioned, have also been of constant
assistance in getting the facts
In this series, the Daily Worker places
before the American people what only
revolutionary, Communist paper can dare
to print-the full, brutal truth about the
steady organization of fascist terrorism in
this country.

Fraud

YESTERDAY Congress received the re-
l port of the Roosevelt Economic Secur-
ity Committee, which rejects the payment
of real unemployment insurance.
Under this plan of Roosevelt Federal
Relief Administrator Hopkins is to be
placed in complete charge of the Roose-
welt four-point program. This scheme
purports to provide: unemployment insur-
ance, old age pensions, aid to dependent
children, and grants for extension of pub
lie health service.
On the first point, unemployment in
surance, the present vast army of I'M
employed will receive not one penny of
benefits; the system of reserves" APP
plying only to some of those now at
work, will be cOntributOry, in other
words. out of the workers pockets.
Old age pensions will be directly
upon the backs of the workers and will
pay meager starvation wages to some
above SIS.
The other two points provide such
meager funds as to be meaningless when
compared to the mass misery which
exists.
Senator Wagner, who fathered the
Senate Bill covering these points, put the
question squarely when he said: There
is not a single dictate of business judg-
ment that has been neglected in framing
this measure"
H.R. 1927, the Workers Unemployment,
Old Age, and Social Insurance Bill, the Bill
which is backed by millions of workers,
is the only bill granting real unemploy-
ment insurance

ers' Bill!

COrrects an Omission
In Reviews
Comrade Editor:

COS COD, conn.
Comrads Editor.
Ed Smiths review Of The Com
munist International, No. %, in the
January issue of the Daily Worker
is fine. 1t should compel any reader
to obtain copy, if they knew where.
This information was left out, and
generally is.
Personally I know the address of
the Workers Book Store in New
York, but that cannot be found
every day in the Daily Worker. Why
not publish an address at the end
Of every review? Such an omission
makes one feel That the author is
talking to New York only, where
the G. I. is sold even on news stands,
G. M. S.
NOTE: This Is an important
correction which will be observed
In the future. Inc Communist
international. as well as all Com
munist publications, should be
bought through Workers Book
shops which now exist in nine
teen cities throughout the country,
or through the Workers Library
Publishers at 80 East 18th Street,
New York City.

For Simple, Everyday
Language

BROOKLYN. N. Y.

1AOOAAAJAA1 Az
Comrade Editor:
Commenting on your editorial of
this morning on Hearst, may I offer
a criticism of the style and Ian
guage of this editorial. We all
know that millions of average
American workers read the Hearst
press and the Daily Worker has to
reach these workers and win them
away from the lying Hearst press.
For example, the line: "As one
of the most militant defenders of
the capitalist system which brings
about such misery, Hearst carries
on no campaign revealing the ruin
and desolation on the American
countryside" What in the world
does that mean to the average
American worker? I'm afraid not
much. On the other hand, he would
be eager to learn and to know that
Hearst is unscrupulously defending
the rich bosses, that he is attack
ing the standards of the American
worker in any and every possible
way, that he is presenting only the
policies of the bosses who Cypress
and choke, starve and brutality beat
anyone whose mistake is only that
he is not a Hearst but a plain
worker selling his hands for piece
of bread.
In building the circulation of the
Daily Worker, it is absolutely essen
tial to use simple, clear, everyday
language, even, if necessary, follow
ing Hearst's own methods, in order
that when an American worker
picks up a Daily he will be inter
ested in reading it from first to last
page and will understand every
thing be reads.-A WORKER.

Capitalist Inhumanity
Exposed
Brooklyn. N. Y.

Brooklyn, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
1 wish to call to your attention
an amazing paragraph in the re-
cent speech Of Senator Clark's on
the munitions investigation as re-
ported in the Congressional Record
of January 10, 1885 and, as far as
l know, not mentioned anywhere
else. I have read Engelbrecht and
Hanighen, magazines and papers on
the munitions racket, and so I don't
think I am particularly naive about
it, but this disclosure is almost in
credible.
Senator Clark says Il will give
the entire paragraph, 1--WE (the in
vestigating committed learned that
American manufacturers of poison
9ses had engaged in every sort Of
intrigue in the promotion of revolu-
ton in Cuba and South America !;
that one of them had actually en-
ployed an alleged Christian mis-
sionary in Central America as an
agent and demonstration of his
wares; that another actually had
the hardihood to approve and de-
fend before our committee the con-
duct of one of his agents in taking
helpless prisoners from Son h
American dungeons and making
them unwilling subjects for demon
stratiors of his gases" (P. 27D.
Who is the agent and by whom
is he employed? Which South
American country is it? What, ex-
actly, was done to these prisoners?
Who were these prisoners?
This astounding exhibition OF
capitalist debauchery ought to be. it
seems to me, blazoned on the

WHEN Party comrades are ap-
W preached in our International
Workers Order branches about re-
cruiting members for the Party, the
reply is negative. They say that the
comrades are not yet prepared to
join the ranks of the Party. In re-
ality it is not, the case. Our Party
fractions do not yet realize and
clearly do not understand the role
and tasks of revolutionary frac-
ton, and this binders a lot in the
transformation of our Party into a
mass Party. The objective POSSIBLE
tiles of growth of our Party are
much greater than we think, but
we underestimate our strength.
The leading fraction of the jew
ish Section TWO. in New York de-
cided to carry on an intensive Party
recruiting drive. For this purpose
we called a meeting of all the frac-
ton secretaries of branches, where
we discussed the plan of work for
the Party recruiting drive.
/. All fractions should call in
dividual branch fraction meetings
and work out plan of work for
the Party drive in the respective
branch.
2. Open fraction meetings should
be called Immediately in every
branch, to which non-Party mem
bers should be invited.
3. An theological campaign should
be carried on in every branch about
the role of the Communist Party
and why every worker should join
the Communist Party.
If all the above mentioned plans
will be carried out Systematically,
am sure Of positive achievements.
A good start was made. when
the leading fraction of the City
Committee called a meeting of 200
TWO. active members, where the
Party recruiting drive was brought
before them. The meeting was in
teresting and constructive, and as
a result Of the meeting 28 members
joined the Party Immediately. Fifty
per cent of them belong to the A.
F. of L. unions. With this we can
see the enormous possibilities in re-
cruiting h n dreds of members
through our mass organizations in
to the Party, when our fraction will
constantly bear in mind the i'm
portance of building the Party in
mass organizations.

propensity to act the part of a ter

a character exists only on the stage
of the Gayety. for it would be too
horrible to think that some night. in
one of our lesser moments, We might
run into such person. who certainly
would scare us into dementia precox

The most unusual feature Of the bill
Is the dance team of Kane and Harris.
To the tune of some of our most So
phisticated jazz. they have originated
group of striking dances that are
we'll worth seeing on any stage.
Though sometimes their meaning is
not quite clear. and their efforts TO be
unusual are somewhat forced, they
nevertheless are fine dancers. One of
their most colorful arrangements was
in The Balloon Girl" In it the
chorus was costumed in black lace and
carried silver balloons. Spotted in the
blue light. they pirouetted in dance
of graceful beauty.
Another instance Of the effective
costumes that characterizeS this show
was in the finale of the first act. Here
the girls did military dance in which
they acted a: signal corps. Their
semaphoring showed up as the lumi-

Visitors to the Nations Capital have
always found much poetic beauty in
the mere plan of the city, but it re-

work not destined to be put aside

will find its way into other programs

form which Mr.. Shure has given

artistic vision into music is still more
impressive. He has heard and Wis
ualized poetic possibilities in the Cir
