While the United States protest to Japan is shrouded in the usual se- crecy: with which the Wall Street government has carried on its con- Yerences and exchange of notes with the Japanese, it is clear that the Japanese seizure of Manchuria~was not involved in Stimson’s protest. ‘This protest. was directed solely at the Japanese advance southward. ‘The Japanese move southward threatened United States hegemony in China, and violated the agreement under which the western imperialist powers, and the United States in par- tioular, have actively and passively supported Japan’s occupation of Manchuria. That agreement is aimed at crushing the Chinese Soviets and at the Soviet Union and its success- ful socialist construction, with its solution of .-unemployment and the national question, its raising of the standard of living of the Soviet work- ers while capitalism is starving its workers, So long as Japan carried out her role as the spearhead of the armed attack on the Soviet Union, and con- tinued her provocative activities and lies against the proletariat state, there occurred no clash between the Japanese imperialists and the rest of the imperialist bandits. Japan's ad- vance southward was, however, not the hegemony now exercjsed by the United States through its Nanking With the abandonment by Japan of the southward advance, the United “An exchange of cabled messages between Tokyo and Washington hhas dissolved the tense Stimson in- cident of yesterday into what Am- bassador Forbes (U.S, Ambassador to Japan—Daily Worker) calls a ‘comedy of errors, the effects of which ali parties have agreed to obliterate.” A Washington dispatch to the New ‘York Times further emphasizes Stim- son’s support to Japan. The dis- patch carries the significant sum- mary in its heads: “STIMSON HAS FAITH IN JAPAN.” ‘Has Pursued a Friendly Policy H and Refused to Join in League Pressure.” ' U.S, Asked Secrecy On Notes. In an editorial on “Why Japan Feels Hurt,” the New York Times lets the cat out of the bag that the secrecy shrouding the conferences and exchange of notes between the Dnited States and Japan was at the request of the United States. The editorial emys: had passed between Tokyo and Washington had been kept confi- dential at the special request of our State Department.” Nanking In Complete Betrayal of Chinese Masses, In the meantime, under the direc- tion of the United States, the Nan- king traitors yesterday carried out the complete betrayal of the Chinese masses. Nanking accepted the reso- lution of the League Council for an investigation of the situation throughout China. The resolution was offered by Japan with the back- ing of U. S. Ambassador Dawes. It aims at furthering the plans of the imperialists for a redivision of all China. Nanking also accepted the Japanese demand for a withdrawal of the Chinese troops from the Chin- chow area, and for the setting up of @ neutral zone in that area, along the Peiping-Mukden Railway between Mukden and Shanhaikwan. The lat- ter town is in the Gulf of Chihli, at the foot of the Great Wall. Nanking Offers Troops Against Chinese Masses. At the same time, Nanking offered the use of its troops to co-operate with the Japanese in suppressing the growing movement of protest and re- sistance against the Japanese in- vaders of Manchuria. A Peiping dis- patch to the New York Times re- ports: “Marshal Chang is understood to have proposed that Chinese cavalry patrols should assist local authori- ties in maintaining order and cop- ing with bandits after the evacua- tion.” (To the imperialist robbers and their tools, all fighters against imperialism are bandits—Daily Worker.) The Nanking traitors are alarmed at the rapid growth of the anti-im- perialist movement and express the fear that “it will be difficult to sat- isfy the Chinese public of the neces- could obtain no supplies anywhere and partieu- larly no salt. became discontented.

A Foochow dispatch reports that “strong anti-Japanese feeling among} Chinese here has caused a Japanese | bank to close and Chinese authorities to establish military patrols through- out the city. Japanese naval vessels, | with marines aboard, were lying off- | shore today.” “A Mukden dispatch admits that re- | sistance to the Japanese is increas- ing throughout Manchuria. The dis- | patch states: “The bandit situation continues grave and there is a ceriainty of an almost daily necessity for small Japanese punitive expeditions against the outlaws and raiding by disorganized soldiery.” Japan Still Buying Cotton. Japan is continuing to purchase | huge quantities of cotton for use in’ the manufacture of explosives. Many huge purchases have been made in) this country. A Vera Cruz dispatch reports Japan buying cotton in Mex- ico, as well. It says: “Japanese firms are understood to be negotiating for the purchase of a considerable quantity of Mex- ican cotton, presumably for manu- facturing explosives.” The Japanese have shipped huge quantities of gold to this country to meet bills, establish credits and-in the attempt to maintain the Yen. A San Francisco dispatch reports that on Thursday, 7,000 bales of silk, valued at $2,750,000 will arrive from Japan. This is said to be the heaviest ship- ment of raw silk to enter an Amer- ican port this year. Japanese Crisis Deepens. In the meantime the Japanese im- perialists are faced not only with un- rest at home and the growth of a powerful revolutionary movement as a result, but the Japanese economic and financial crisis is sharpening with terrific speed. Yesterday's Wall St. Journal carried a dispatch from Tokyo headed “Japanese Face Finance Puzzle.” The dispatch reports: “Japanese financial leaders are moving resolutely to solve, or at least to mitigate the effects of, the host of financial and commercial problems which have arisen since mid-September. These have been neither few nor trifling. Almost simultaneously Britain went off gold and the Japanese military moved to put an end to the reign of petty irritations which has charr acterized Japan’s dealing with China for the past several years, Both caused sharp and immediate repercussions on the Japanese eco- nomic system.” The dispatch points out that Sino- Japanese trade has stagnated as a result of the Chinese boycott against Japanese goods. The new Indian tar- iff, increasing the advantage of Bri- sity of give and take.” This fear is well based as, in spite of the social- demagogy of the Kuomintang trait- ors, the Chinese masses are becom- ing increasingly aware that the game of give and take is confined to the Japanese taking and the Nanking government giving. Nanking Smashes Workers’ Barri- cades In Tientsin. In Tientsin, also, the Kuomintang carried out its betrayal of the Chi- nese masses. Chinese soldiers in that city who had defied the Nanking government to join the Chinese workers in resistance to the Japanese attacks, have been ordered to with- draw from the city. Chinese soldiers loyal to the Nanking murder regime are being used to crush the anti- Japanese movement in Tientsin. These troops have been used to tear down the barricades set up by the Chinese workers and soldiers in the working-class section of the city. Anti-Imperialist Movement Grows. In spite of the murderous attacks on the resisting Chinese workers and peasants, the anti-imperialist move- ment continues to grow, with the workers and peasants taking the of- fensive in many instances, A Pei- ping dispatch reports that 500 Chi- nese workers, peasants and soldiers, “operating under the cover of artil- lery, crossed the Liao River at noon yesterday and occupied the town of Yingkow, 70 miles southeast of Chin- chow.” Yingkow is 120 miles south- tish manufacturers, has also .helped to worsen the Japanese financial sit- uation. The dispatch admits that “ever since the lifting of the gold embargo in January, 1930, Japan has been losing gold.” Japanese capital- ists are trying to save themselves at the expense of the Japanese masses, who are already on a starvation level. Japanese capital is being in- vested in foreign fields. ‘ STEEL MILL CLOSES PUEBLO, Col.—The Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. steel mills in Pueblo has closed down completely. This mill used to employ 6,800 men.

Column 3 Attacked by Hammond Police HAMMOND, Ind., Nov. 30.—When the National Hunger Marchers of Column 3 arrived here from Chicago, yesterday, they found a crowd of a thousand. assembled at State and . Fayette Streets. ° ‘The mayor of Ham- | mond had previously promised that the march through the city could take place without attack by the po- lice and had permitted “meetings at convenient corners on the way.” In spite of this, Police Chief Thos. J. Martinson, evidently .with the con- sent of Mayor Charles D. Schonert, ordered a brutal attack on the marchers and the crowd. Police hurled tear gas bombs so fast that they gassed not only the mass of workers and the marchers, but themselves as well. A terrific struggle took place as the worker's and marchers defended themselves with their hands against the clubs of the police, all in a confusion of tear gas fumes. The police clubbed two marchers severely, and blackjacked a girl. They smashed all the glass on the trucks and cars, and tore off the banners. One truck was so badly damaged that it will no the able to continue. The others were driven out of town in several groups, two trucks being entirely cut off from the main line of march by the police. Attempts are being made to get these back and over take the main procession which is going right on its way to Washington. @The column reached Gary | last night, where a demonstrtion of greetings to the hunger marchers and protest against Hammond pdlice brutality was held.

With Bill Lindsay in the lead, the marchers came through in fine spirit, in spite of the hardships of the first long stretch east of St. Louis. A mass meeting, mostly miners and unemployed miners, met the delega- tion in Collinsville, Ill., with rousing enthusiasm. Arriving at the city limits of Terre Haute, the marchers got out and par- aded with a big crowd of jobless who met them there. The procession went through the whole city, and a mass meeting of 2,000 was held in a hall afterwards, * Demand Food, Lodging In Wheeling WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 30.— The Ohio Valley Hunger March has been making attempts to have the city administration of Wheeling house and feed the 65 National Hunger Marchcers of Column 4 on their way to Washington, D. C. when gation when they arrive. In its answer to the first letter, 16 Wheeling city council attempted pass the buck by answering that, “since this Hunger March Commit- tee (Ohio Valley Committee—J.S.) ad ae and seen come through it fe Ao 5 =z was not accepted but that the com- mittee demanded action on its de- mands, their answer was that the “City of Wheeling will not under any cirucumstances, care for the Hunger Marchers” and further that they “will not permit this March to take place through its city streets.” A week ago a committee of un- employed ‘workers from Wheeling and vicinty, went before this same council to demand immediate re- lief, also demanded housing and food for the National Hunger Maxchers. The city council’s answer then was that the City was broke. ‘Yet some four months ago, this game council appropriated, at the re- quest of the coal operators, thousands of dollars to tear-gas, club and jail the miners when they struck against starvation. It was this same city administration which, at the request of the coal operators, turncd over the town to the acabs and gave them Police protection.

No specific relief? Let us give the administration a little les- son in English—or economics. $150 in a lump sum—is that specific | relief? Or unemployment insurance amounting to full wages—is that spe- cific relief? ‘The Hoover government idea of spe- | cific relief is the bullet or the bayo- net—which reli¢ves you of all further distress. According to the Hoover paper the Hunger Marchers “will not forward | the cause of the unemployed. They will not advance by a day the enact- ment of such laws or the grant of such appropriations as congress may vote in relief of public distress.” The wish is father to the thought. Pre- cisely mass protest—mass demand— is what Washington fears. The Hunger Marchers approach Washington for unemployment in- surance—for immediate relief. 12,- 000,000 jobless workers have one eye on Washington and the other upon the spectre of starvation astrideAmer- ica. unemployed workers from the Ohio Valley Hunger March Committee went before the council of Wheeling | again to get action on the letters sent by the committee. After demanding the floor three times, this committee was refused a hearing. Preparations continue to house and feed the marchers when they ar- rive in Wheeling on Dec. 3. . Column Two Has Mass, Greeting, Rochester ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 30.— Thirty members of Column No. 2 of the National Hunger March, who left Buffalo yesterday morning, were greeted in Rochester last night by a very enthusiastic crowd of 500 at an indoor meeting. Some of the march- ers were not able to arrive on time because one truck broke down. They will catch up later. Speakers were William ¥. Dunne, for the Trade Union Unity League; Johnson, a Negro unemployed worker from Buffalo, and local workers. The meeting voted unanimously to sup- port the National Hunger March and its demands for unemployment in- surance and immediate relief. It gave a collection of $33 for hunger march expenses, although the city authorities here themselves estimate there are 40,000 totally unemployed (which means 120,000 members of worker families without income) out of a total population of some 300,000. Many not totally unemployed are on part time. Column No. 2 arrives in Sygacuse today. Column One Starts Frem Boston Tues.
