= DAILY WORKER, N 'W YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 PARLIAMEN } Labor-Farmer Party A (This is the final, third, article 1pon the present situation in Japan. n the first article, the author dealt with the recent dissolution of the Japanese parliament, how this came bout, the regime of the militarist Tanaka, his persecution of the work- rs, leading up to the arrest of 2,000 last April, of which 825 are now eing “tried” with the possibility of nany death sentences being given. n the second article, the economic ituation and internal and foreign olicy was exposed.—Editor) oe By S. Sakurai. On this occasion we need to glance ver the so-called “proletarian” arties and their respective relation 4 the revolutionary masses of Ja- an. First of all there is the ‘Shakai-Minshuto” or the Social emocratic party headed by ex-pro- ‘essor Isoo Abe. At the time of the irst National Convention of the arty in 1927 the membership of he party was somey.uere around 7,000. Its main support was com=- ng from reactionary “Sodomei” un- ons, the A. F. of L. of Japan. The Social Democratic party made ig strides, yet after four years of its existence its membership is not increased so impressively. For at he same time it gets support from he petty bourgeois circle it loses he radicalizing rank and file ele- ents. At the Fourth National Conven- ion held early in December, the ‘Zenkokudomet” group of 7,000 vorkers, which had been expelled rom the “Sodomei” last September cause it demanded the breaking way of the “Sodomei” from the In- ernational Labor Office at Geneva nd also the discarding of the “com- pulsory arbitration” in labor dis- outes, but which still supported the Social Democratic party—after bit- tly assailing the reactionary anti- jor policy of the leading officials ich as Nishio, an MP, and Mat+ uoka, also leader of the “So- omei,” for accepting cash from cer- jain capitalists for their services— vithdrew from the party. After that, Mr. Miyazaki and sev- ral others supported by 11,000 rank nd file members of the party, tarted a party “‘cleatising move- ent.” But the reactionary leaders ted quickly and Mr. Miyaski and thers who were leading the move- ent were expelled. A further split in sight. Although not 100 per ent for the present “Hamaguchi abinet” this Shakai-Minshuto is not contemplating taking any ac- ion against the government.” Of Ihe seven so-called “proletarian” Ps that there used to be, five be- iged to this party. The Nihon-Masan-Taishuto or the pan Mass party, perhaps, is a igger party than the Shakai-Min- huto at present. This party was ormed a little over a year ago by he amalgamation of seven parties. lowever since the core of this party is the former Nihon-Rono-to or the japan Labor Farmer party, whose position was. centrist, we can till safely define the present Nihon- ‘aishuto as a Centrist party. The stin¢ipal supporting body of this varty is the “Kumiaidomei” which ad split from “Sodomei” but did not ‘oin “Hyogikai,” or the Left TU entre affiliated with RILU. | The recent statement made by the national office of this party in re- ard to the coming 57th session of he Diet said among other things hat “the masses are demanding the issolution” and therefore the Japan fass Party “whicih represents the rill of the masses,” also “demands” Immediate dissolution of the parlia- bnt and “expresses non-confidence” ) the Hamaguchi Cabinet, etc. .Jwever as this party is against any évolutionary program for the work- ts and peasants we cannot support ny candidate of this party in the oming élection. Now we have come to consider the ew legal Labor-Farmer party of enegade Oyania and others formed st November. In spite of all the evolutionary pretentions of Oyama others, they have turned com- tely to the side of the Social . They howl in vain that urposely dropped off “the defense the Soviet Union” from its pro- in order just to get the légal ‘tus for the party. At any rate this party of Oyama \(thich was formed on a clear defeat- t} view point on the part of some ¢ the renegades is an electoral ma- nine. Naturally this party will xert its utmost effort in the forth- ¢ working class front they have be ruthlessly combatted by the volutionary masses in Japan. |i The last but not Jeast is the ques- ion of Communist party of Japan. eed the Communist Party of lapan has been dealt a terrible blow the last two years. 825 leading embers of the Communist Party of pan face heavy jail terms and e of them the guillotine. APAN’S ‘PROLETARIAN’ PARTIES IN THE NEXT The Communist Party to Break Thru the Crust of Terror With Candidates If Possible Social Reformists Split, Right, Center, Left T ELECTION Foe of the Soviet Union, Tokyo district is to come up early this spring. Although the Com- munist Party of Japan is not an- nihilated it is now in a harder posi- tion to set up its own candidates in the coming election than in the| spring of 1928. However there is the “Labor- Farmer Alliance,” which although not a political party like the former Ronoto is a strong alliance of work- ers and péasants for struggle, and which is to be mobilized by the) Communist Party of Japan. It is apparent therefore that in some | form or other candidates will be put | up from among the comrades be- longing to this Alliance, and if such be the cage it is better for the mili- tant workers and peasants of Japan to vote for these candidates. Never- theless the strengthening of the Communist Party itself remains their utmost task. There are some other local “pro- letarian” parties such as “Tokyo Musanto,” formed by the now notor- ious “Rono group’—of Sakai, Ino- mata, Yamakawa et al; the “Aikoku Taishuto” or the “Patriotic Mass Party’; and a “party to be” of the splitting Zenkokudomei group from the Shakai-Minshuto, and others. The revolutionary workers and pea: ants of Japan in the coming election have to fight energetically these so- | cial democratic parties of all shades | from “Shakai-Mifshuto” to “Rono- | to,” not to speak of two major bour- géois parties. ‘The latest reports have it that the expected number of proletarian can- didates is about 70, of which the Shakai-Minshuto will have 27 and the Nihon Taishuto 28. The chances ate that of these seventy about 15 will be elected. Fight Mexican Fascist Terror (Continued from Page One) silence the terrible crime which is being prepared on the arrested Com- munists and other working class leaders. “On February 7, some of the lead- ers of the left wing trade unions were arrested. Few days previous Comrade Isaac Rosenblum, Polish political refugee was also arrested. The military authorities answer to | inquiries made on the whereabouts of the imprisoned comrades, was that they had ‘disappeared.’ The same thing happened to other com- rades arrested, among whom is Tina Modotti, sectétary of the Caribbean Anti-Fascist Committee. “On February 12, the following news reached here: ‘Five comrades have been arrested in Jalapa, among whom is the well known Comrade} Roberto Celis. They were immedi- ately taken to the military presi- dium arid shot, without even a sem- blance of a trial.’ “We are in fear now that a great- er tragedy has been committed and that the greater part of the pris- oners who have ‘disappeared’ may in reality have been executed. The government bloodhounds continue fiercely to hunt up all Cotmmunists still at large. The press keeps cowardly silent. The famous ‘anti- imperialist intellectuals’ like Diego Rivera and his ilk chargé the Com- munisté with provoking reaction, the cossack minister Portes Gil doesn’t utter one word, and thé juridical authorities do not dare say any- thing. In every part of the country the comrades arrested are immedi- atély déliveted to the military au- thorities. The government wants to close us in an iron ring, covering its mischiefs with the silence of the press sold to imperialism, isolating us from the massés in order to he better able to fill us with lead shots “This government of prostitutes and bandits is stupid enough to be- liéve us alone and that its executing squads commandeered by drunkard and illiterate generals can stop the inexorable march of the proletarian réevolution. “The international working class has already in the recent past an- swered to our appeals. It is neges- sary that al the present time it mob- ilizes its forces more determinedly, more energétically than ever. Only on this condition will it be possible to save from the execution squad the best and most sincere leaders of the Mexican working class. “We particijarly appeal to the workers of the United States to demonstrate in mass and thereby | stop the Mexican and Washington White House murder gang.
