White collar

A call to white collar workers
and professional people to mo-

supporting the demands of in

THE STAR IS BORN

States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union
is necessary to preserve world peace and
are convinced that our foreign policy is
being determined by those forces in
America who work night and day to con-
dition this nation for an atomic bomb at
tack on our great ally of less than year
ago.
1T is the goal of the Star to arouse and
unity the plain people into dynamic,
aggressive whole to make democracy a
reality. To that end we invite the COM
plete cooperation of all progressive forces
from liberals to Communists; of all reli-
gions; of Negroes and whites; and of all
minority groups.
The Star will expose and resist in every
way possible the divide and rule strategy
of our entrenched reactionaries and their
Spokesman. The Star looks upon labor
batting, anti-Semitism, Negotiating and
Red-baiting as weapons of fascism.
o.
THIS, then, is what your Star believes
and its program for the future.
We have faith in ourselves and our abili-
'ty, with your help. to carry on. Realizing
the need for this newspaper, many have
contributed at q considerable sacrifice,
many have spent hours obtaining sub
scripions for a publication that, until now,
did not exist.
And so the Star is born How it grows,
progresses and develops is up to all of us.
Let's fight = but let's fight together to
solve the problems of plain people every
where.

If the Republican bosses had
said to the Democratic bosses, be
ginning a year ago: I'VE would
like you to do this and that, and
that and this = and by SO doing
you win sweep US into power,
they could not have outlined to

for defeat.
This is not to minimize the de-

many people have been foolishly
saying a that there is no appre-
ciabIe difference between the two
national parties. There is diff
ference, and with the Republican
victory, we took a long and ON
inous step toward fascism. That
must be understood - but there
must also be some understanding
of the grotesque betrayals and
blunders made by the Democrats.
TRADITIONALLY, the Republi-
can Party has been the anti-labar
party, the party that says to the
workers, historically and cur
rently: you are the scum of the
earth, and l will crush you IN
der my heel until you scream fer
mercy"
But it was the Democratic Par
ty that put forth and backed the
notorious Truman Slave Labor
Bill. And by virtue of that, there
were hundreds of thousands of
railroad workers who could have
nothing but hatred for the Tru-
man Administration and its meth
DDS with organized labor. 1t was
the Democratic Party that threat
ened to smash the trade unions
forever.
1t was also the Democratic
Party that found itself unable to
face the challenge of price con-
troll, and SO crassly and stupidity
betrayed the people to the trusts.
1t is the Democratic Party that
gives the workers wife a token
of itself every time she pushes a
dollar across the counter of
butcher or a groceryman.
AGAIN, this is not to say that
the Republican Party was for
price control; but the entrance
for immense confusion lay in the
simple fact that the Democratic
leaders were not for price con-
troll either.

Poles Tighten Drive
On Terrorist Groups
BY the Associoted Press

WARSAW, Nov. 30.-The Ministry
of Public Security is Tightening its
drive against terroristic underground
groups and appears also to be con-
centrating much attention on Poles
who associate with or work for
and Britons here.
A Foreign Ministry source unofh-
cially explained it was natural that
the security corps be interested in
Polish contacts with foreigners, since
the government claims much under
ground activity, including financial
aid, comes from abroad
Foreign correspondents working
in Poland are experiencing difficulty
in employing Poles as translators
and secretaries since many express
fear of arrest.
It was authoritatively learned that
three such Polish employees are now
imprisoned in Lublin and Warsaw
They acted as secretaries or trans
lators for Correspondents Derek

Vargas, Former Brazil Dictator
Now Socialist, Hits Dutro Rule
Ex-President Back in
Politics as Honorary
Head Of Labor Party
~ ihe A.soc;oied Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov.
3O.-Getulio Vargas, former Pres
ident and one-man government
of Brazil for Is years. signaled
his return to a belligerent role in
politics today with an attack on
the government of President Eu-
rico Gaspar Dutra, In which he
declared "old liberal capitalist
democracy is in rapid decline"
1.-The other way Is socialist democ-
racy, democracy of the workers" he
declared. ITO that I belong. For
this I will fight on behalf of the
people"
Mr.. Vargas declaration was made
in an address at Porto Allegro to a
rally of the Labor Party of which
he is honorary president. The leftiSt
note sounded in the speech appeared
to mark a turning point in his long
career.
Victim of Finance, He Says.
The former president made his
first public reference to his over
throw by the armed forces in Oc-
tober, 1945, declaring: II was the
victim of agents of international
finance who intended to keep. our
country simply an exporting colony
for raw materials and purchaser
of industrial goods"
He said liberal capitalist den1oc-
racy" was on the decline because it
was rooted in inequality.
Brazil is being ruled by a capital
ist democracy comfortably installed
in Iife," which facilitates trusts,
monopolies and black markets and
exploits "the misery of the people, !"
he said.
Either Capitalist Democracy re-
leases its advantage and privileges,
facilitating the evolution to Social
ism, or struggle will be fought
with the deprived population in con-
fusion" he declared. This kind
of Democracy is like an old tree
with dry leaves which the people
one day will shake in a hurricane
of anger"
Accuses Administration.
Attacking the Dutra Administra-
ton, which he helped elect last De-
cember, Mr.. Vargas asked, After
left the government, what hap
pened in this confused Democracy
of cannibais who devoured each
other and abandoned the funda-
problems of the country?"
He accused the administration
of attacking him with impotent
hate" of piling up the public debt,
writing new constitution COM
piled from former ones" and de-
priving cities of the right to choose
their own mayors.
Its Democracy that has fled
from the vote" he charged. "I
have chosen between the powerful
and the humble and prefer the lat
ter" he concluded.
Mr.. Vargas was elected a Senator
in the national elections nearly
year ago but had not previously
taken an active role since he left
the government palace at the army's
behest.
