Karakhan said that Chu ‘Shao- yang, Chinese representative, had telegraphed a request from Man- chuli send a representative to the border | to discuss the situation. Karakhan | replied that as Nanking had repeat- edly shown an incluination to re- | nounce its oral offers it would be} best to send by cable or mail any | offers the Nanking government had to make. Nanking again asked for a conference.

The final answer of the Communist International, making Lovestone’s expulsion def- jnite and giving final warning to his group, is printed on page 2 of this issue: “Executive Committee of the Communist International, Moscow: After carefully considering cables regarding dele- gation’s appeal, we declare our readiness to present our view- point in Moscow, through Comrade Lovestone or other com- rades. At the same time, we request favorable action on the following: (1) To recognize our appeal directed aainst the wrong political line of the Address which revises the line of the Sixth Congress. Not personal questions nor matters in- volving relations between Comrade Lovestone and the Com- intern, but this revision of the basic line and decisions of the Sixth Congress, against which appeal is made.

During the meetings leaflets are distributed pointing out the _ necesstty of demonstrating unitedly on the Ist of August against the danger of imperialist | war conjured up by the Nanking} government, and against the im- perialists and their tools in China. On the 25th of July a tremendous protest meeting took place near the Soviet Consulate in the Interna- tional Settlement. organized by the Chinese Commu- nist Party and great numbers of | workers and .students took part. Similar demonstrations took place in the evening in other parts of the | town. Strong forces of military and police broke up the demonstrations and wounded a student very severely. A policeman was also severely wounded. Mass arrests have taken place in connection with the demonstrations. Strong forces of police patrol the streets at night and | the police force is in a constant state of readiness. The newspapers report that posters, etc., are appear- ing everywhere calling upon the masses to take part in the demon- strations on the 1st of August against imperialist war, against the Kuomingtang and for the defence of the Soviet Union.

Olgin, for state assembly from the 4th A. D,, will be among the speakers. The carnival is to be a mass dem- {onstration for the support of the Party in the forthcoming election and at the same time a demonstra- “tion for the support of the revolu- tionary press, the chief organ of which, the Daily, has been in a cri- tical financial condition since June.

All these comrades should be unconditionally reinstated in the Party and League posts assigned them by the Sixth Con- gress or the authority of the Sixth Convention, for example, Gitlow, Welsh, Wolfe, Lovestone, Myerscough, White, Miller, Benjamin, Gussakoff, Kruse, Grey, Lurie, Rubinstein, Sylvis, Marshall, Gordon, etc. “(5) Immediately instruct Polcom to adhere to the Party Comintern statutes and restore internal Party democracy.

National Textile Workers Union, signed by Hugo Oehler, Daisy Mac-) | Donald, Dewey Martin and C. Say-! jlor: | “The southern textile workers are| | fighting to free our 23 members |charged with murder because they| the} |defended themselves against |bosses’ armed attack.
