Am answer to the imperialist ef- forts to push the Soviet Union into ‘wer was given in Washington on Fri- day by Boris BE. Skvirsky, director of the Soviet Information Bureau, who declared that the Soviet Union will mot permit itself to be drawn into fhe Manchurian conflict. In a for- mal statement, he declared: “There seems to be muchi, specu- lation in the United States as to the relation of the Soviet Union to the present Manchurian situation. Some of the points raised are: Will the Soviet Union become involved im the military situation? Has the Soviet Union an understanding with s third power at the expense of China? On the other hand, is the Soviet Union giving support to General Ma or other Chinese com- manders? “Possibly I can clarify these mat- ters, First, while the situation in ‘Manchuria is a matter of deep con- cern in the Soviet Union, I can say emphatically that the Soviet Union intends to adhere to its policy of I believe that is made clear by the declarations of the govern- ment up to now. “The Soviet Union certainly has no understanding with any other government at the expense of China. The basic policy of the So- viet Union is respect for the in- tegrity of other countries, whether large or small, strong or weak. To arrange an understanding with an- ether government against the in- tegrity of = third country would be wholly incompatible with the prin- ciples of the Soviet Government.” Skvirsky then pointed to the tre- mendous progress that is being made in the Soviet Union in the construc- tion of socialist industry and the col- Tectivization of agriculture. He an- swered the lies about a financial cri- aig in the Soviet Union by pointing out that all payments due on credit notes have been made on schedule. He said; “AN payments contracted for in af countries will continue to be made in full and on time.” Washington officials are reported to have “considered the statement as expressing the Moscow government’s attitude and as of great significance.” ‘They( however, professed to be “puz~ sled” over the Soviet peace policy, and returned to the attack on Soviet finances. See and Koo “Resign.” Official Washington expressed con- sern over the gestures of resignation made Saturday by Dr. Alfred Sze, Nanking delegate to the League Counell secret conferences in Paris, and Dr. Wellington Koo, Nanking for- eign minister. A Washington dispatch to the New York Times interprets ‘these “resignations” as the result of the growing mass protest and resist- ance in China. It says: “There have been political strug- gies in both Japan and China be- ‘tween the civil and the military leaders. And the Nanking govern- ment has long had difficulty in keeping the warlike sentiment in the Chinese population in check. ‘The Chinese legation said today it had advices that sentiment in Shanghai and Tientsin for strong action was tense.” Nanking Attacks Mass Protests. Demonstrations by students and workers continue throughout China, denouncing the betrayal of the Chi- nese masses by the Nanking leaders and demanding action against the imperilists. Many workers, students and peasants are being arrested by ‘the Nanking authorities in their ef- fort to suppress the anti-imperialist sentiment. In Nanking 300 students were atrested yesterday. A Shanghai dispatch to the New York Times re~ porte: “Dr. Koo had arranged to meet the students tomorrow, but this is now unlikely as serious disturbances have occurred at Nanking, where unruly students demonstrated in the streets in defiance of the gar- rison commander’s orders and elashed with the police, resulting fn 300 arrests. Peining students co- operated wth Nanking and Shang- haf students.” ‘) The same dispatch reports that a student invasion of Nanking is planned for this week, It admits that at least 30,000 students invaded Nan- king last week with demands for re~ sistance against the Japanese seizure of Manchuria. Armed bands of Chinese workers and peasants are reported actively re- sisting the Japanese in the vicinity of Sinmin, along the Peiping-Mukden ratlroad. Frequent raids by armed are also reported in the Su- um-Taonan area Sati moar the ralleoy.” | Delamere, 2000 den KILL NEGRO‘ PROTESTING HUNGER PAY (CONTINE FROM PAGH ONE) Hospital, where he was held under arrest, that “He was robbing me. He only paid me fifteen cents an hour.” Lynch Gang Workers Leisurely Swathed in bandages and clad only in a hospital night gown, Williams was dragged out through the side entrance of the hospital while local police made a pretense of guarding the front entrance. He was pushed and pulled to the court house square in the exact center of the city. He wes hanged from a tree in front of the court house. The boss pres admits that “Will- jams was left hanging for nearly an hour. Placed on a pile of boxes, the body afterward was burned.” This is proof that the lynch gang took their time in carrying out the murder of this Negro worker. Théy knew they need have no fear of interference from the bosses’ police. Under the pretext of preventing “further possible demonstrations or riots,” but in reality to stifle the resentment of the Negro workers, the chief of police Holland “pressed all extra policemen and deputy sheriffs into duty’—after the lynching was all over. The mob leaders are well known, but no arrests have been made., While Williams was arrested and held by the police with easy ac- cess for the lynch gangs, the son of the rich manufacturer, Elliott, was not arrested, although he had shot Williams in the gun fight in which the older Elliott was killed. Lynch Gangs Threaten Orphan Jones ‘The lynching of Williams is of spe- cial and sinister significance in view of the repeated threats of lynching against Orphan (Lee) Jones, whose trial opens today in Cambridge on the Eastern Shore. The judges in re- fusing the petition of Bernard Ades, International Labor Defense lawyer, for a change of venue to Baltimore brazenly denied, in the face of lynch gang activities, that there was any danger of lynching to Jones. This, in spite of the fact, that the lynch gangs have been searching jails in Snow- hill and Cambridge in the hunt for Jones and George Davis, another Ne- gro worker arrested on a framed-up charge. The lynch gangs have been busy for weeks now. Gov. Ritchie and other Maryland authorities have refused to take any steps to curb them, but have openly supported the lynch terror against Negro farm hands and workers. On the very day that Batthew Williams was lynched in Salisbury, Gov. Ritchie was spouting his rotten social demagogy in a speech at the Hotel Plaaz in New York City. In this speech, the Maryland executive whose state government attempted to deny even the constitutional rights of Orphan Jones to have and select his own attorney, handed out the follwing hypocrisy: “We have shown in this country that political liberty can be made a political reality, that freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of self-determination, of self-govern- ment are more than abstract ideas All this is proof that popular sov- ereignty is not a myth that ex- pression is better than suppression.” "This; from a representative of the American ruling class which brutally suppresses the Negro minority and clubs and shoots down Negro and white workers for protesting against unemployment and hunger, against lynching and for unemployment relief and social insurace, for Negro rights! Workers Plan Militant Protests The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes it# usual paper protest against, the lynching, but has not one word to say against the legal lynching of Orphan Jones and George Davis, which the bosses courts are now at- tempting to carry out, As usual, the N.

Negro an¢ white workers of Phi- Jadelphia, Baltimore and other cities are planning protest demonstrations this week to mobilize the masses for a militant fight on the boss terror, and for the fight to prevent the lynching, legal or otherwise, of Orphan Jones and George Davis. All workers’ organizations are urged to join in a determined fight on lynching and national persecution of the Negro masses. Hold protest meetings everywhere!

The hunger marchers disembarked soon after entering Washington and paraded with banners to the heart of the city where 2,000 workers wel- comed them at a demonstration in the shadow of the capitol building. Two Red Cross ambulances at the demonstration were the only signs here of terror on the part of the police, Across the river from Washington, in Alexandria, Virginia, the American Legion and the National Guard. were mobilized to meet the hunger march- ers from Gastonia. ~ Westerners Enter. Columns. 3 and 4, marching to- gether and carrying their placards, came shortly after Columns 1 and 2. Théy came singing and cheering through the streets, selling and giving literature to the workers who lined the way. Among the marchers were lumber- jacks with their blankets and bed- ding on their backs and wearing boots and fur hats. They were dele- gates from the Pacific Northwest. Workers were lined four and five deep on the streets, in front of the Federal Building on Marshall place, which is within two blocks of the cap- itol building. ‘ Marines were called out by the au- thorities, but a group of them were seen fraternizing with the hunger marchers. Tomorrow the marchers will go up to the capitol and insist on present-. ing their demands for unemployment insurance at the rate of full wages for all jobless and part time workers, and demands for immediate winter relief of $150 cash for each unemployed worker and $50 more for each of his dependants. To A.F.L, Headquarters. American Federation of Labor members of the National Hunger March, these members being dele- gates elected by A.F.L. local unions which repudiate the stand of the A. Vancouver convention against unemployment insurance, will go Monday to A. F. L, headquarters to register their protest in person. They will also denounce A.F.L. Vice President Matthew Woll’s letter to all congressmen when the Hunger March was just starting, in which Woll started off the whole course of pro- vocation by urging that the march leaders be jailed for “sedition,” and by reviving the old tie of “Russian gold.” ‘They will protest the attack on the Soviet Union by Woll. ‘The delegation will demand an op- portunity for the rank and file of the A to express their opinion about unemployment insurance. 'They will declare that A.F.L. President Green and Vice President Woll speak for the employers, not for the workers in the A.F.L. or the unorganized work~ ers. The delegation will challenge Woll and Green to defend their position against unemployment insurance be- fore mass meetings of workers in large industrial centers. At these meetings, speakers of the Unemployed Councils are ready to champion the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, which the National Hunger March demands shall be passed by Congress, Children’s Delegation. Immigration authorities announce their intention to “comb the march- ers for deportation proceedings.” This statement was made in the Washington Star tonight.

At Philadelphia, Columns 1 and 2 Statement of the National Hunger March Delegates to Congress; (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the line of march, and expressing the sentiment of millions of unemployed workers, have come to Washington to demand the immediate enactment by Congress of the Workers’ Unem- ployment Insurance Bill and winter relief, On February 10 of this year, the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance delegation appeared in Washington to voice the demand for unemploy- ment insurance, In the name of a million and a half (1,500,000) workers who had in their own meetings voted for and signed the proposals for enactment of an Unemployment In- surance Law, the Workers’ Delegation sought to place before Congress this vital demand which expresses the imperative need& of the overwhelm- ingly majority of toilers of city and farm. The Delegation came with the pur- pose of seeking food, clothing and shelter for the unemployed of this country. The Delegation was denied admission to the floor of Congress, its representatives were abused and its proposals ignored. Hoover Opposes Insurance Not in answer to but in evasion of the demands of the unemployed, the administration of Mr. Hoover de- clared that there was no need for unemployment insurance, which it persistently misrepresents as a “dole,” that the economic crisis was “tem- porary” and “improving,” and that provision had been made adequately to meet the needs of the unemployed workers who are nvariably stigma- tized as “the idle.” ‘The Workers’ Delegation then stated that the Hoover program for the unemployed was a program of mass hunger and starvation. It stated that the boasted “program of public works” of Mr. Hoover, supported by Rep- resentatives and senators of both Re- publican and Democratic parties and the so-called Farmer-Labor party as well, a “program” applauded by the reactionary leaders of the American Federation of Labor and of the So- cialist Party, was a sham and a de- lusion, that it would not provide work or food for the great masses of un- employed. What was then stated by the Workers’ Delegation, has been proven correct by the course of events. The economic crisis has worsened steadily and continues to worsen. Starve Amidst Riches In the richest country of the world, literally millions of totally and partly unemployed workers are hungry and starving today. ‘Yet these toiling masses have built up the riches of the country.

They who are homeless have built the houses. They who are ragged and cold have woven the cloth. , More, these toilers of city and farm have by their tal piled up great fortunes the monopolists of the can~ italist class enjoy, the fortunes of some 38,500 millionaires, the fortunes of 504 men with incomes of over one million dollars per year each. ‘Yet to these poverty-stricken mil- lions of destitute workers the govern- ment headed by Mr. Hoover refuses to give a single cent of direct aid. But hundreds of millions of taxes al- ready paid to the Treasury have been handed back to the big corporations such as those of Mr. Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. ‘There is a spacious plea of “econ omy” in the administration that fails to hide the fact that gigantic ex- penditures for war are being made which belies pretensions of “peace” and ignores the cry of the starving masses for food. There are open pre~ parations for war against the Soviet Union instead of developng trade which would give employment to thousands of American workers. Bil~ lions are spent on the imperialist war machne now in operation against the masses of Chna, Latin America and the Philippines. But hungry ex- soldiers are denied their full bonus.

But the government finds it possible to back credit pools to aid the big bankers, and grants rate increases to the rail- way corporations, This program, which gives hun- dreds of millions to those already rich / Mayor Mackey had been threatening all sorts of attack if the National Hunger March went through the city, it did go through, after stopping in Philadelphia over night. A great demonstration was held in Broadway Arena, the place being jammed full. ‘This triumphal progress continued Saturday to Baltimore, at which an- other mass reception by 6,000 work- ers who waited for it three hours was held. Sunday, the combined for and denies even the smallest sum to} the poor, has the effective support | of the Republican and Democratic parties. It is fully supported by the | reactionary agents of the capitalist class in the ranks of labor, the lead- ers of the American Federation of Labor. The Socialist Party in the city governments of Reading and Milwaukee just as vigorously as the other capitalist parties, are denying | the demands of the unemployed, The whisper of “opposition” to the Hoover program that was heard around the sp-called “Wagner bills,” could not conceal the fact that these Wagner proposals were in opposition, not to the Hover Hunger Prgram, but to the struggle of the masses against it, Our Demands The starving millions of workers demand food, clothing, shelter; not “surveys” or “employment offices” or or “building programs” that are as fictitioug with Mr. Wagner as with Mr. Hoover, and are merely talked about with the same aim—to keep the starving workers from demanding | and struggling for something real while their wives and babies die| waiting for capitalist promises to come true. | The climax of the Hoover program of unemployment “relief” has been reached in the policy of forcing the employed worekrs, who have had their wages cut and facing further reductions in their meagre income, to | “donate” to the funds for “unem-~- ployment” relief under threat of dis- charge or discrimination. The part- time workers, who themselves are hungry, are being compelled to “con- tribute,” Such @ program of mass hunger and starvation forces the suffering mases to struggle for self-preserva- tion. To carry through the Hoover Hunger program the utmost violence is being used against the unemployed. Their demonstrations are broken up. Mass arrests of workers are made. Workers who resist eviction are mur- | dered by the police in cold blood. A campaign of terror is carried on) against the working-class, particularly against the Negro and foreign-born workers and against thé militant labor movement and Communist Party organizations. The cruelest lynch and murder terror has been launched against Negroes. Thousands of foreign-born workers are being de- ported. The suffering is the greatest among the women and youth, both Negro and white. This campaign of | violent terrorism is aimed to thwart the demand for immediate relief and | unemployment insurance. This at- tack is as cynical and brutal as the tyranny which has held Tom Mooney and Warren K, Billings in prison for fifteen years in the face of positive proof of their innocence, The “Independence” Fraud As an auxiliary to the campaign of repression, a fierce attack by the Hoover government, by the Repub- lican and Democratic parties, and all ther spokesman is being made aghinst the “dole.” The employers arogantly reduce the living standards to the point of human degradation and receive in this the backing of the Hoover government. But unemploy- ment insurance is denied on the ab- surd excuse that it would deprive the worker of his alleged “indepenrence,” Unemployment insurance is rejected as a “dole,” but the unemployed are condemned to humiliate themselves to obtain the most miserable shelter, to sumbit themselves to insulting in- quisitions and regimentation that they may obtain a dole of meagre food, the nutritional value of which any honest doctor would condemn as in- suring not life but slow death, and which falls far below the minimum for health set by the U. 8. Depart- ment of Agriculture. ‘The employing class, living at the expense of the misery of the workers, is opposed to any system of unem~ ployment insurance which would guarantee to the workers their full wages and secure to them the means to live. ‘The National Hunger Marchers who represent employed and unemployed workers, organized and unorganized Page inres St. Backs Hitler in Drive to Save Bankrupt German Capitalism NEW YORK.—German capitalism, faced with bankruptcy, has taken a new and more drastic step in its at- tack against the impoverished work~- ing masses.

You see from your own experience that the so-called democracy is only a form of the capitalist dictatorship which uses all its institutions to hold the work- ers in wage-slavery, in misery and starvation, which carries on robbers’ wars in the colonies and is preparing more de- structive wars, which initiate hostile actions and is prepar- ing military intervention against the Soviet Union, the Fatherland of the working class and the oppressed of the whole world. In your class struggles you become more conscious that real democracy—Soviet, democracy can be achieved only by the overthow of the rule of the capitalists, by the seizure of power by the workers and poor farmers, by the building of Socialism under the Workers Government. This can be done! This has already been donc in one-sixth of the world. Employed workers! More than ever before, build or ganization in the factories and shops for the fight for un employment insurance! Remember that without a militant united front between the employed and unemployed, the working class will be incapable of resisting the sweeping wage-cut drive of the capitalists. The unemployed are sup- porting your strikes; they have smashed the attempt of the bourgeoisie to utilize their misery and starvation as a weapon with which to. break your strikes. Forward with the com- mon fight for unemployment insurance! Unemployed workers! Your strength lies in your or- ganization, The Hunger March shows that millions and mil- lions of workers are ready to fight for unemployment insur- ance and immediate relief. Your Unemployed Councils must embrace all these masses in their organizations, and cerry the struggle on to victory! Negro workers! You have marched in the first line of the struggle against starvation and for unemployment in- surance, The discrimination of the capitalists, in relief, in the specially vicious lynching terror against you, you an- swered by increasing your militancy and class-consciousness. Fight against the Negro hypocritical reformists, who are trying to weaken your struggle aganst the imperialist bour- geoisie, Shoulder to shoulder with the white workers you will win the victory. Ex-Servicemen-Men! You, whose blood was shed in ths war to “take the world safe for democracy,” whose bonus, small as it-was, has been stolen by the graft and corruption of the Government and the American Legion, you have re- fused to let the bosses use you as a weapon against the work- ing class. You are here in the ranks of the militant fighters for unemployment insurance, Your task is to win away from the influence of the American Legion and other imperialist veterans’ organizations, the honest working class elements, organizing them for the demands of the worker ex-service- men. Young workers! While the bourgeoisie discriminates against you in relief, they are planning to make you the first victims in the coming war. They are trying to poison your class consciousness and to drag you away from the class struggle, to betray the interests of your working class fath- ers and mothers, your own class interests as a worker.
