the clinic, and requested the
association Immediately to follow
up its action by a conference

The group pledged its support
to a request from the Board Of
Education to cooperate in a city
wide movement to prevent what
was declared organized vandalism
in school buildings.
Garnet c. wilkinson, assistant
superintendent of schools, diVi-
sionS 1913, spoke on the need of
additional colored high schools,
and suggested they be more widely
scattered through the District, in
stead of all being located in a
small congested area in the North
west.
Fourteen new members were
elected. DR.. C. Herbert Marshall,

Primary Consideration

uERE are some facts that Mr.. Hearst
IL will not chew over. They concern
health in the Soviet Union. For example,
at recent scientific congress i'll the United
States it was reported that deaths among
the unemployed in the land of Hearst,
Rockefeller, Roosevelt, ct al, were, in 1888
(the last year for which these figures were
available) 40 per cent higher than for the
rest of the population
In the Soviet Union, according to the
report of Commissar of Health of the
Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Rspub-
lie, at the current Soviet Congress, the
death rate for the entire population was
cut one-third below what it was in the days
of Czarism.
The number of hospitals in the Soviet
Union increased two-and-a-half times
above the number before the revolution.
tuberculosis has been reduced. All the
diseases which capitalism intensihes dur
ing periods Of crisis are being successfully
fought in the Soviet Union.
The health of the people is the primary
consideration. 'The development of Soviet
medical science has reached an unparal-
leled SCALE" declared Commissar of Health
Kaminski.
''The best and most sacred ideas which
are born in the world are the ideas of
health and happiness of the millions; and
this must be our slogan" he concluded.
Health, cheerfulness and happiness for
the toiers, that is the aim of Socialist
construction. Misery, unemployment, star
walton, fascism and war, that is what Mr.
Hearst and his class want for the
American toiIers.

Democratic Forms

THE steady trend to fascism inherent in
Roosevelt's New Deal finds new con-
firmation almost every day.
Leading capitalist politicians, includ-
ing Ogden Mills, have admitted this trend,
and Mussolini and Hitler have both ex-
pressed admiration for the New Deal as
being similar to their own programs.
Yesterday Mark Sullivan, political COM
mentator for the Herald-Tribune, COM
pared the trend of the New Deal with the
development of Italian fascism.
Very shrewdly, this bourgeois observer
remarks that while all this is happen
ing "the democratic forms are being
observed"
This is precisely the point that the
Communist Party has been making from
the very beginning of the New Deal
Communists warned that RooseveIt's
New Deal is a program of the Wall Street
monopolies for higher profits, and that in
defense of these profits, Roosevelt would
develop increasingly fascist tendencies,
under the cover of capitalist democracy.
The experience Of the masses and the
admissions of capitalist political writer's
are confirming this analysis of the Com
munist Party.
How does Norman Thomas's enthusi-
asm for the New Deal as being "socialistic"
now appear?

UUEY LONG says he is going to re-dis-
III tribute wealth and make everybody
millionaire.
Nobody should have more than ten
million dollars, Huey says very boldly,
thinking that in this way he can convince
the workers that he is terrible enemy
of Wall Street and the banks.
But examination shows Huey's plan to
be one of the phoniest gold bricks in
American political history.
For in Huey's system, he says the work
ers will be guaranteed "livable wage"
if they are not made into millionaires.
So we will have workers getting civ
able wage" working for millionaires just
as before! In short, we will have, just as
we have now, the rich millionaires exploit
ing the wage workers.
And this set-up will inevitably breed the
enormous concentration of wealth which
now gives the Wall Street mOnOpOlies their
grip on the cOuntry's life. For how will the
ten-milliOn dollar capitalist make his profits
if not by rObbing the worker getting a
'livabIe wager" The '1ivable wage" will
be starvation wage.
Only the Communist solution can end
the terrific concentration of wealth in the
hands Of few.
By abolishing private profit and wage
labor exploitation, the Communists would
use the country's industry and wealth for
the welfare Of the masses, not for the ten
million dollar parasites.

The Relief Bill

THE Roosevelt relief measure was forced
l through the House by the overwhelm-
ing pressure of the administration
machine.
It gives Roosevelt exactly what he
wanted, the power to spend $4,880,OOO,OOO
without having to account to anybody for
a single penny.
This means three things. 1t means the
tightening of Roosevelts immense and
growing dictatorial power.
It means, moreover, that the Army and
NAVY can now feel certain of getting the
billion dollars they asked for, so that new
enormous war building program can be
begun under the disguise of work relief"
And finally, it puts the Government
seal on the miserable wage of $50 month
land even Iess) as the official standard for
the wage level of the entire American
working class.
The relief bill, in short, instead of be-
ing for the welfare of the masses, is
brutal and reactionary attack on the living
standards of the whole working population
and q war measure besides.
The miserable wage on the work re-
lief must be fought. Higher wages can be
won by strikes on all Federal work relief
projects for higher wages, and for union
scales in all organized trades.

Nine Calm Men

ONE of the leading newspapers recently
" printed an article about the justices
of the United States Supreme Court, call
ing them mine calm men,"
Very soon these nine calm men will
consider the appeal of nine innocent boys
facing death because they are Negro
workers.
The "calmness" of the nine men on
the Supreme Court Bench will make it all
the easier fo~ them tc ignore the fact that
the nine boys are innocent unless the cam
paign of mass pressure led by the Inter
national Labor Defense is redoubled

Cites Brutality and
McLevy's Attitude

NEW maven, conn.
Dear Editor:
A short while ago Mayor McLevy
Of Bridgeport delivered a talk at
Trade Council Hall. He said that
policemen as a whole were a crowd
of good fellows. What is the use
of blaming the cops; they are only
workingmen the same as ourselves,
he said.
On Jan. 10, at o'clock III the
forenoon, I had chance to 81 enc
of the good fellows. A cop was
standing on the corner of Church
and Elm Streets. OF course, he was
well-fed looking, nice warm clothes,
warm gloves, and so on. A poor
narrow back came along the side
walk going north. No cyncical cap
italist newspaper ever cartooned a
tramp with all of his degradation
than this poor misfortunate. His
poor body was emaciated from
starvation and suffering. His rags
hung on his body like ribbons.
When he reached the car tracks,
this good cop spied him, he rushed
out and grabbed him by the neck.
He then yanked him on to the
sidewalk, and he shook him in the
most violent manner, the poor
wretch I thought he would die.
He looked like regular bean pole.
I thought the cop was going to lock
him up. He then showed the man

Says They Can Be
Won For Struggle

New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
Reading Comrade Colds column
of Jan. IA in the Daily Worker,
was somewhat surprised at the con-
GLIDING remarks in which he claims
that it is folly to think that you can
influence the cops Ito quote verba-
tim. Certainly we shouldn't be
allowed to believe that the police
are as easy to educate as other
workers, but I am writing this to
ask sincerely whether you believe
that they are members Of the capt.
talist class and quite incapable of
being approached by workers.
He disparages any attempts to
agitate among them, yet I have my
self on few occasions made adj
vances which had reason to be-
lieve were not without effect. What
about the Seattle cops whose refusal
to deal too strongly with the harbor
strikers and whose subsequent dis
miSsal we read of in the Daily
Worker? What of the cops of
whom the Police Commissioner
complained to his masters as being
unwilling to protect their persons
against women and children? Isn't
the recently formed rifle squad an
indication Of some fear among the
capitalists that the police may not
be 100 per cent reliable? Commun-
lists from Nazi Germany have TOLD
me that the workers are looking
upon the regular police as possible
allies against the SIS and Reichs-
wehr. Is all this to be disregarded;
Please don't conclude from the
above that I'm too optimistic about
the police. I have spoken with
many. and I've found some pretty
bad ones among them. Only re.

Keep up the style, We like the way
the new editorials are written. The

more indispensable to workers every
day.
The papers of recent weeks have
stirred enthusiasm for the different

for action.
We think the Labor Party line Is
the hot stuff and we are already
making plans. Already I can see
the CONSERVATION and fury that
this line of our Party will make
for the bosses.
The new plans, trade union pol

and more confidence in the leader

reformists and capitalists at every
step of the way toward Soviet

The most effective means to COM

is to go and see the exhibition on
