The statement follows: : HE Painleve-Briand-Caillaux government has started the Mo- rocco war which for months had been prepared by Herriot in conjunction with General Lyautey, The imperialist Left ‘Bloc which emits so much symbolic peace talk, is just as dangerous as the Nationalist Bloc.

Be- cause of the international complica- tions, the government of the left bloc tries to assure the world that it will confine itself to driving Abd-el-Krim out of the protectorate and to the de- fense of the borders. In reality, however, the war will be carried on in the form of a block- ade whose goal it is to force the Riff inhabitants into submission and thus to get hold of their land. Workers to Pay. Such is the .policy of peace which is supported by the democrats and soctal-democrats of the left bloc. Their colonial policy differs in no way from that of the bloc national. They have prepared the war, they are now prose- euting the war, and they will carry the Morocco war to a finish. This war may lead to another war yet more frightful than that of 1914-1918 —a war that will cause rivers of China, especially British and Japanese routed the speaker. One awakening scholar in the au- dience wanted to know why, inasmuch | as the Communists had brought Rus-| sia from chaos to order and happi-| ness in a few years, it wouldn’t be a good thing to invite them into China, in order'to restore peace there. This} question’ the lecturer waved aside— | “I shan’t answer that,” he said.

The latter have completely defeated the counter-revolutionary army and have made 4,000 prisoners. The commander of the first Yunnan division, Tschao Tschin Lian was murdered by his own soldiers.

The horrors of the last war will be as nothing in comparison with those which the murderous imperialists and militarists will let loose upon the world.
