MOSCOW, Dec, 1.—Accenting the rejection of Nanking’s “demands” by the Soviet Government, the “Iz- vestia,” government organ, remarks editorially as follews: “The fact that the Soviet Govern- | ment received Nanking’s note of Noy. 14 two weeks late, after it had been published and commented on in the European press, indicates that we have not a serious business pro- posal but a new and unfair maneu- ver by the Nanking diplomacy,” it says. “In submitting its proposals Nan- ‘ing has not been guided by a desire for speedy settlement of the conflict, but has sought the means to protract who in actuality are part of the) social-fascist attack on the workers. The Hoover-Green-Yegge-Lamont fascist council has already sunk its roots into every industry in the United States in a frantic effort | to overcome the severe crisis in capi- | talist economy. Realizing that the existing capi-| talist state is wholly inadequate to handle the economic depression, | Hoover is creating a new, fascist | governmental apparatus in which | | the big capitalists have open control. In the official statement just is- sued from the White House, regard- ing the Dec. 5 meeting of the fas-| fist group, Hoover says: | “The conference is expected to| bring together 150 to 200 representa- | tive business men in a position to present accurately a picture of their | particular industries, and form an| exchange of views we hope to set | in motion corrective measures at| those points where obstruction may | be found, | | wh'la Moscow waiting help from Germany j The counter-revolutionists engin- eering the plot from Germany, sent them word that they would be wel- comed with open arms in Canada, and that Germany would help them to get there. But Canada refused, “ousands accumulated at th * never came. Finally German: was discredited so much that Hin- denburg had to give $50,000 (but not his own money!) for publicity stories of “coming to the reseve of peasants mistreated by the Bolshe- viks,” and since something had to be done, a few were promised that, if, they couldn’t go to Canada they | could go to Brazil and be as back- ward as they wished on the matter of machinery. But by that time a large part of the peasants had learned that they were being used by plotters who had no regard for their interests, and asked to be returned to their homes; the Soviet government restor them to their old lands and property, a ferences for the purpose of mobil- izing for further aid for the Gas ti onia strikers, for Salvatore A id the other class war p are being held in Detroit, nton and Boston.

M. at the Workers School, 26 Un- ion Square, by Louis Lozowick, fa- mous revolutionary artist and ai dritic. Admission is 25 cents, " Briand pact and the League of Na- tions. The Soviet Government is confronted by a complete plan for sabotaging peaceful settlement of the dispute, connected with prepara- tions for intervention and the estab- lishment of foreign control over the Chinese Eastern. Nanking’s note to! Moscow, appeal to the League and the Kel- logg-Briand pact signatories, and the general clamor abroad, are all intended to prevent agreement be- tween Moscow and Mukden. “The peaceful proposal of Chang- Hsueh-liang tears the ground from under the feet of Nanking. The con- trast between the cunning plans of the Nationalists and the conciliatory appeal of the Mukden Government is an additional proof of Nanking’s provocative lrole in the Russo-Chi- nese conflict. “The line taken by Mukden offers a prospect of speedy liquidation of the conflict in the interests of both countries. The question now is whether Mukden will follow its chosen line or be sidetracked by Nanking agents.” ~~ Celebrate Release of Gastonia Strikers The release on hail of all seven Gastonia defendents will be cele- brated at a big Gastonia and anti- terror banquet on Friday evening, December 13, at 7:30 at Stuyvesant Casino, 140 Second Ave. The ban- juet is being arranged by the New Fork District of the International Labor Defence and other organiza- tions, This banquet will be a real gala affair, As it comes only two days before the New York District Con- ference of the I.

Hooyer will act as the executive of the fascist economic council, and and attempt very little through Con- gress in the present crisis. The growing slump in the emper- ialist economy in the United States, brings out glaringly the deep con- tradictions of the capitalist system and the inability of the capitalist class to solve them. In contrast to the Five Year Plan in the Soviet Union, with the rapid building of socialism, with the in- creasing benefits to the mass of workers and reasants.in the Soviet Union, the fascist development of American capitalism brings out the parasitic, chaotic nature of capital- ist economy and its disastrous ef- fects on the entire workig class, Growing out of the severe depres- sion and the internal struggle of American imperialism —with its drives on the standard of living of the working class—comes the inten- sification of the antagonism in the world market, Secretary of Com- merce, the Wall Street banker, La- mont, recently declared: “From now on competition in foreign trade is going to be the keenest we have ever had.” Would Jail Young Militant.
