is _ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, Page Three Peavotatian By Secret Service Is Attempt to Stop Insurance Demands (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) for assembling and conducting the Hunger March, which plans were for everyone to read printed in the Oc- tober 12 and October 14 issue of the Daily Worker, and distributed im thousands of printed leaflets through the country. The Secret Service and the newspaper and to this certain forgeries ,which claim to be instruc- tions to the marchers to “arm them- selves with stones,” etc. The Secret Service reefrs to the march as “the best organized and most ambitious Communist effort so far discovered in this country.” Nothing Secret ‘The Secret Service made no actual revelations about, the march plans and progress of th emarch which have not been published daily, for weeks past, in 2,000,000 copies of the Daily Worker ,circulated since Sept. 15, and in millions of copies of other workers papers, leaflets, etc. The march has been prepared by ever 3,009 open hearings, Front Conferences, local hunger marches and demonstrations all over the country during October and No- vember, all of which received much publicity. Attack on Jobless It is evident that therefore that no detective work was necessary to find out the plans,,c:nd that the reason for the Secret Sezvice publicity yes- terday was merely a recognition on the part of the capitalist rulers ‘of this country that the National Hun- ger March of 1,500 delegates of the millions of jobless, led by the Unem- ployed Councils and the Trade Union Unity League, was going through to ‘Washington, and could no longer be ignored. The siatement was a con- fession that the great sharpening of the crisis, the new flood of wage cuts, United | and new mass lay-offs in the last few days, has resulted in great mass sup- port for the March and for its de- mands, and a stern determination on the part of the masses to force on Congress the most burning question affecting the lives of millions of job- Jess and part time workers. Publication of the Hunger March statement ofthe Secret Service Wash- ington headquarters, is a confession that the Washington administration realizes that millions of starving un- employed are united behind this march, while holds out to them their hope of living through the winter. The Secret Service statements show that the ‘authorities have now no other hope than by extreme acts of terror, of preventing these demands from being-served on Congress in a way that wil arouse world wide in- terest, and force the capitalist rulers to make seme provision for the un- employed. Publication of actual extracts from instructions to those preparing the Hunger March is accompanied by a series of outright lies, such as that the marchers will be “armed with stones” and may be “armed with rifles,” and that is not an unemployed march, but a “Communist joy ride.” This is obviously: merely to lay the basis for open, brutal attacks on the Hunger Marchers by orders of Hoover, the Wall Street agent in the White House. It is the latest of a series of provocations of which those last week were: Matthew Woll’s letter calling for trial for treason of the leaders of the march, General Fries call to the American Legion for an attack on the march, and President Hoover's jailing of the pickets accompanying a delegation of the National Hunger March Committees at the White House Friday.

Imperialist Interests In Open Clash ‘The Japanese advance on Tientsin by wey of Chinchow struck 2 snag according to the latest, in full process of withdrawal iate le the reasons for the are shrouded in the usual serecy wiih which the United States, pa. ond the League of Nations surrounded the Manchurian war, known that the British have sherply protested against the en- trance of the Japanese into what they consider a zone of British influence around Chinchow. A serious diplo- matic clash also occurred Saturday between Japan and the United States, with the Japanese Foreign Office bitterly deouncing Stimson for a statement alleged to him by Rengo, a Japanese agency. Rengo had charged Stimson with saying that (1) the Japanese army had run amuck in Manchuria, and (2) that. Japan intends to take Manchuria completely. The Japanese Foreign, Office de- manded an iminediate denial by Stimson of this alleged statement and agcused Stimson “of disclosing confidential exchanges between the accused Stimson “of disclosing confi- dential exchanges between the United States and Japan.” The statement by the Japanese Foreign Office car- ried the implied threat of publication of the secret notes between the Uni- ted States and Japan. It also denied that Japan, as alleged by Stimson, had “expressed regret and has said that such events would never happen again each time an advance was made in Manchuria.” Stimson Denies Statements Which Offended Japanese. Washington dispatches report Stimson denying that he made the statements for which he has been denounced by the Japanese Foreign Office. Stimson is reported to have tushed to his office as soon as he learned of the attack on him by the Japanese. He called on Hoover and had a half hour conference with the Wall Street president. He then is- sued a statement that much that had been attributed to him in the press reports transmitted to Japan he had not said. All he had said, The New York ‘Times quotes him, was that he could not believe the press reports from the Far East yesterday (Friday) of the advance of the Japanese army toward Chinchow because he had been as- sured by Baron Shidehara that this would not happen. Whether Stimson made the state- ment attributed to .im, he is now teverishly trying to placate the Jap- “nese imperialists. While there is no doubt of the sharpening clash between the interests of Japan and the United States in China, the fact remains that the United States, as the leader of the anti-Soviet front, is secretly supporting the Japanese war moves in Manchuria, which are aimed at the crushing of the powerful revolu- tionary movement in China, at the re-@ivision of China and war on the Soviet Union, and on the struggles against starvation of the hyysey ril- tons in the home countries and in in} mey postodireete a V7 the | the colonies. The United States is also alarmed because it fears that Japan might be thrown into the arms of thé rival British imperialism, thus losing the leadership in the anti- Soviet front and handicapping Amer- ican imperialist aspiration for a di- vision of the tottering British Em- pire, In demanding that Japanese re- frain from taking Chinchow, Stimson was speaking on behalf of the Wall St. bankers and not for the Chinese masses. The diplomatic clash over Chinchow is merely a clash of two robbers in the process of dividing up China. The dismemberment of China these imperialist birds of prey, will continue and only the might of the revolutionary Chinese masses backed by the workers all over the world will stop them. _ Borah Admits Japanese Aims. Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, refused to comment on the Japanese protest. He is reported by the New York Times to have confined his re- marks to an admission that the Ja- panese -were carrying out their .tn- tention to seize Manchuria, The ‘Times quotes Borah as saying: “Iam satisfied that Japan is go- ing to carry out her program in Manchuria.” The Times then comments: “Mr. Borah is convinced that Ja- pan intends to remain in Manchu- ria.” ‘The Times article reports Senator Johnson of California as attacking the exchange of secret notes between Japan and the United States. John- son is quoted as saying: “The American people have the right to know what is happening, what policy their government is pursuing, what notes bave been ex- changed and what has been done that may ultimately gravely in- volve this country. “We have had enough of secret diplomacy. It ought to have been in the open, fdr, after all, in case anything should arise it is our peo- ple who will be involved. They are entitled to know how far they are being committed and to what.” Stimson Covers up Wall St. Exploiting of Chinese ‘The State Department carried its secret- manouyers further on Satur- day, refusing to divulge the names of the American companies having fi- nancial interests in Tientsin and other parts of China. Stimson told the correspondents that these in- terests were a secret affair and could not be divulged. It is to defend and extend these secret interests that the imperialists are planning to throw the workers of the United States into another and bloodier world slaughter. But even the names of the rich imperialists engaged in exploiting the Chinese masses are withheld from the Am- erican working-class! Japanese in New Move Toward Soviet Territory A new Japanese advance in North Manchuria, toward the Soviet fron- tier, is reported in a dispatch from Shanghai. The dispatch reports sharp fighting between Japanese troops and Chinese workers and peasants along the Tsitsihar-Koshan Railway north of Tsitsihar. Japanese troops are still occupying the Tsitsihar section of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which is jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union. Plan Seizure of Phiping Following the attack by the Jap- anese, Italian, United States, French and British on the Chinese workers in Tientsin, a Tokyo dispatch e- that ety of Pe" ey sopital ot Chino, will be al- Wa 27 the couhtry must rally to the defense of the National Hunger March. Pass resolutions and shower the White House and Congress with telegrams of proletarian indignation and pro- test against this preparation for at- tack on the representatives of these starving unemployed workers! Or- ganize and Demonstrate! Speed the collections of funds for trucks and food for the marchers! ‘The next three days are the critical days of the National Hunger March, Demon- strations for the demands of the Na- tional Hunger March must take place Dec. 7. The Secret Service is evidently pre- paring some new forgeries to show that the funds for the march are “Russian Gold.” This is indicated by its statement in yesterday's papers, that “it is not clear how the march is to be financed,” and “investigation of this phase is still proceeding.” The march is financed by the masses of workers, through the special collec- tions and tag days and by donations from workers’ orgznizations right here in America, and in no other way. Make these collections a success, and the National Hunger March will be @ success. Defend by mass support the National Hunger March and Hoover's provocations will fail. . AID DOGS BUT NOT WORKERS SEATTLE, Wash—There are a dozen dog and cat hospitals here, but only one hospital for the human slaves. I went to this lattter one to get my teeth fixed but the doctors told me nothing doing until I get money to pay the bill —wW. F, tacked next by the imperialists. The dispatch reports that the imerialist plans may be ‘held up, however, by reason of the fear that the flaming anger of the Chinese masses may re- sult in the overthrow of the Nan- king puppet government, or at least force the Kuomintang traitors into a gesture of a declaration of war “as a self-preservative measure against the public wrath,” A dispatch from Shanghai reports a nationwide protest movement against the im- | perialists and their Nanking lackeys. It says: “The nationwide attitude of bel- ligerency still is likely to result in a serious clash at Chinchow if the Japanese carry out their reported intentions, are there is a growing volume of indignation and appeals to the government to initiate mili- tary action, “Chiang Kai-Shek still remains in Nanking without announcing the date for his departure northward. In consequence of the delay, 12,000 students waited outside the govern- ment declare a warlike attitude and that Chiang Kai-Shek an- nounce definitely bis departure for the north, “Students are flocking to the capital from many cities, con- fiscating trains refusing to pay fares, and using force to board trains in an endeavor to get to Nanking, where they camped out- side the government offices, re- fusing to move, Despite a heavy snowstorm, the students, including several hundred girls, kept in alt night vigil Thursday, and this morning many were carried to 4 hospital owing to the effects of exposure. Nanking Gov't Condemns Protest “The government issued a state- ment strongly condemning the stu- dents’ disorderly course and lack ef respect for the chief executive, concluding with a charge that Communists had instigated the student demonstration in order to embarrass the government.” The dispatch declares, further: “The enthusiasm of the inflamed students for war continues to be countrywide.” Soviet Press Satirizes League. Walter Duranty’s dispatch from Moscow to the New York Times re- ports: “Under the headline ‘Something Which Never Happened,’ Iazvestia Publishes today a bitetrly sarcastic article about the attitude of the League of. Nations Council toward the Manchurian affair. “The writer quotes Articles X, XII, XII and XVI of the League cov- enant, which deal with the preyen- tion of war and the obligations as- sumed by members of the League of Nations for that purpose, and the measures to be taken in case of in- fringement of those obligations. “In each case he points out that nothing was done about it, and con- cludes :~ “It therefore is evident that this article was not infringed. “The writer states that the articles quoted are so clear in terms and so obviously do apply to the Manchurian situation that the one possible con- clusion which can be drawn is: “No one in Manchuria committed an aggressive act against the terri- torial and political independence of any member of the League of Na- tions, no member of the League de- clined arbitratign, no one had re- course to acts of war. The League itself bears witness that nothing happened at all in Manchuria, abso- lutely nothing. Only one thing re- mains incomprehensible—why is the League Council now, for the third time, busy with a discussion of some- thing that never happened?” A later dispatch from Duranty fur- ther reports: “The Soviet press registers the latest news from the Far East as a justification of the Soviet theory, first, that the sphere of the Japa- nese military operations would be widened inevitably, and, second, that Japan, for the time being at any rate, is not being restrained by the League of Nations.” Eugene Chen, Foreign Minister of the Canton government for failing to resist the Japanese invaders, At the same time, he reiterated the Can- ton grev's wan to hand over all of Manchuria to Jafan, An Urgent Call to Help Feed, Transport and Support the National Hunger March Unemployed and employed workers are now engaged in a gigantic | battle for Unemployment Insurance, for the right to enough to eat for | every man, woman and child in the immense army of the unemployed. Along the lines of march the hunger marchers have themselves de- cided to make collections in every city they pass through. Their slogan | is “A Million Pennies For the Fight For Unemployment Insurance! Sup- port the Hunger Marchers.” The unemployed workers composing the National Hunger March are the front line fighters for Unemployment Insurance. Every worker, | every workers’ organization must give these front line fighters every | support and assistance possible. It is exactly during these next two weeks, when the press will be filled with news about the maythers, their demonstrations in the cities they march through, their experiences on the road, their advance to and demands from the United States Congress in Washington, that large masses of workers will become intensely interested in the National Hunger March. In every city and town and countryside, we must redouble our ef- forts for financial support for the battle for Unemployment Insurance, the demand that flies high upon the banner of the marchers. Every financial support possible must be forthcoming so that the marchers | will arrive in Washington in perfect orgaciized formation, will be ade- | quately housed and fed there. oe This is a workers’ army marching for bread for the starving. Matthew Woll, fascist, speaking for the labor fakers and the capitalists alike, demands that they all be jailed. Our slogan is “Hands Off of the | Hunger Marchers.” Hands off of the representatives of the poor and | hungry. We must mobilize every worker and organization to support the | Hunger Marchers every inch of the way to the White House, every mile | on the return home. 1. Put to quick use every Hunger March coupon book sent you, | every collection box sent you. Whether your city or town is in the | lines of march or not, all cities can give financial aid. 2. All workers’ organizations should make Unemployment Insur- ance and the battle for it led by the hunger marchers, the principle ques- tion of the organization. Collect from all workers your members are | in touch with, can visit. 3. Every worker who reads this call should at once collect all funds | possible wherever possible. Go among your neighbors, collect in your | shop, collect everywhere where workers are to be found. 4, Every tag day or affair still to be held must receive the support of the broadest masses. Volunteer for all tag days. Collect your utmost. BEAR THIS IS MIND: No collection activities should be demob- ilized, should be discontinued, until the unemployed workers in the Na- tional Hunger March are back in their home cities. We must be ready for every eventuality, every emergency. Our front line fighters, the National Hunger Marchers, must receive every support, every assistance. Sufficient fufids have not yet been collected to feed and house the marchers, as they travel thousands of miles through the bitter cold. Collect speedily and efficiently.

Answer Mackey. | PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 29.— | The refusal of Mayor Mackey to pro- | vide food and lodging for the Hunger |Mareh delegation stopping in this city will be answered by a mighty demonstration of the employed and unemployed workers of this city, to be held on the City Hall Plaza, De- cember 3, 4:30 p. m. An indoor demonstration has also been arranged for Friday, December 4, 8 p, m., at the Broadway Arena, Broad and Christian Sts. This dem- onstration will welcome the Hunger March delegation to Philadelphia and also protest against the action of the Budget Committee and Mayor Mackey. In connection with this demonstra- tion the United Front Hunger March | Committee has sent a letter to Mayor | Mackey in answer to his refusal to | provide food and lodging for the Hunger March delegation, which scores Mackey’s statement that the jobless delegates should not come through Philadelphia, and brands as a lie the statement he makes that Mackey’s administration is actually | feeding and housing the jobless. It points out that Mackey’s statement that President Hoover is doing all possible for the jobless is also false, as Hoover has done nothing at all yet. The United Front Hunger March | committee calls on every organiza- | tion to take part in the Thursday demonstration and to get back of the | drive for 100,000 pennies to support | the National Hunger March. Increased police terror has followed Mackey’s threatening letter. Two Un- employed Council members, C. Guin and John Syx were arrested for pre- venting the police from evicting an unemployed family at 2035 South 20th St. Build 6-Page Dail Act at Once to Get 5,000 12 Month Subs (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | | | subscription blanks and begin at once, All Party units and mass or- ganizations, get your machin- ery at once into full swing to bring in Daily Worker sub- scriptions.

The Daily Worker has now clearly exposed that the American Federation of Labor mis- leaders have not limited themselves to mere announcements. The Daily Worker has published a letter written by Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, calling for a program of fascist terror against the hunger marchers and against all workers who show any sign~of | militancy. | A.

(By Mail).— | Two hundred farmers under the lead- ership of the United Farmers League demonstrated in front of the Onton- agon County courhouse, protesting against the sheriff's sale of Emil Hofstrom’s farm of Bruces Crossings, Michigan, November 24. In spite of the storm and cold weather the large turned out to be a complete victory against the forced sale. When the hour was over the sheriff announced that the “sale was called off, there were no bidders.” ‘Yes, there..were no bidders and why? The militant mass of farmers led by the United Farmers League committee of action, seared the officials to such a degree crowd of farmers stood over an hour and cheered the speakers as they ex- posed the county officials and the sheriff in their attempt to rob the mortgage ridden farmer of his farm and home. Ontonagon county sheriff, Joseph J. Schon read the notice of the sale at 1 o'clock. As he began to read the “legal document” on the sale our speaker interrupted him by asking “Can you do anything to prevent the sale.”"? He answered “It is my offi- cial duty.” “Are you afraid of losing your job as sheriff if you refuse to execute the sale’? The answer was “Possibly, yes.” This answer fully exposed to the big crowd of farmers that Mr. Schon, the sheriff was car- rying out the instructions of the Fed- eral Land Bank of St, Paul, Minn. instead of the interests of the poor farmers. According to law, a sheriff's sale must be open for bidders for an hour.
