This act was a direct result of the vicious system of race and class! | oppression which rules in this country, which has resulted in the past| year in the beating of several Negro workers in the subways of this | city by U.

C., April 16— Troops are being withdrawn from the Manville-Jenckes company Lo- ray mill here and are rushed to South Gastonia to surround the Pineney mill.

The total disarmament plan, which was brought by the Soviet delegates be- fore last year’s league sessions was rejected by the imperialists. Litvinoff assailed naval limitation, pointing out that it in no way dif- fers from previous futile attempts in this direction which had been made by the imperialist powers prior to the world war. He cited the proposed naval holiday which preceded the conflict between Great Britain and Germany. Scores Rejection of Proposal. In the absence of a sentiment for total disarmament, Litvinoff pro- posed the partial disarming plan. “The acceptance of the Soviet pro- posal for a proportional reduction of all armed forces and categories of armaments would have removed sthose differences between the sea jowers, which are at present block- ing the work of the preparatory commission, and obviate the per- haps still more acute differences al- most sure to arise in the problems of land and air forces,” Litvinoff stated. The speaker then emphasized the sharpened differences which are at present heightening the war danger between the United States and Brit- ish imperialism, adding that it was constantly becoming more acute. The speaker then lashed the league’s method of technical inves- tigation of the armament problem, calling it a “blind alley” and a “will- of-the-wisp.” Decide to “Discuss.” Pointing out that the Kellogg pact contains no newer guarantees of | security than the Locarno agree- ments, he showed that the Soviet government’s sincere application ven of this pact to the most troubl4d section of Europe had brought it to bear as a force in the struggle against the war danger in eight European countries. Yet, if the im- perialists honestly wish peace, they must abandon their reluctance to re- duce armaments, Litvinoff declared. The league has decided “to dis- cuss the Soviet plan on its merits” and later determine its “availabil- ity.” Lenin May Day Article on Page 6 Tomorrow.
