Now that Manchuria has been converted into @ Japanese colony and military base against the Soviet Union, England intends to oceupy the Province of Kwangtung and the Yangtee Val- ley, the United States will take Dossession of the provinces of Che- Klang and Fukien and extend its inflnenee further northward, while Franee will annex the provinces of Yunnan, Eweichowand Kwangsi. French forces already several weeks ago invaded Yunnan and Kwangsi Provinces under the familiar pre- text of hunting down “bandits.” Attack on World Working-Class ‘The partition and looting of China “tg part of the world-wide attempt of the imperialist robbers to get out of the crisis at the expense af the toiling masses and enslaved colonial peoples. ‘The looting of China goes hand in band with the savage attacks and wage cutting eampaign in the im- Periglist countries, with the sentenc- ing of tens of millions of unem- ployed and employed workers to Starvation and misery. The workers of the whole world must answer this challenge of the imperialist murderers with a united struggle against im- Derialist war, and for the defense of the Chinese Revolution, of the col- onial and Negro masses and of the Soviet Union. Calls for War on Soviet Union and Colonial Masses A eall for a war of “pacification” agaimst the masses of the Soviet Union and, the colonies was issyed Tuesday by Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart. Admitting that the League of Nations had been discredited before the masses, Hart called for an open attack on the revolutionary struggles of the colonial masses, and on the Soviet Union. He said: “Until Russia, China and India with their 700,000,000 people can be pacificed, world peace is im- Possible.” A similar call was issued a few weeks ago over a world radio hook-up by Dean Inge of England. Today the socialist MacDonald, head of the new British fascist government, is pouring troops into India for the “paeifica- tion” of the revolutionary Indian masses who are turning away from the traitorous leadership of Gandhi and the Indian landwoners, A similar call for war on the col- onial masses was included in Hoover's “Thanksgiving Address” and in Mac- Donald's speech at the opening of the new British parliament. Japancee Attempt to Outspeed Rivals Rouses Other Imperialists The war in the Far East has en- tered a new phase. With the Jap- anese trying to outspeed their im- périaliss rivals in the plundering of Tver China, with the Kuomintang instruments of the imperialists dis- evedited and in process of disinte- gration, the imperialist robbers are faced with the necessity of accelerat- ing the looting of China, and of immediately attacking the rapidly growing anti-imperialist, gnti-Kuo- mintang movement and the powerful Chinesé Soviet Republic and Red Army. Only the vigilance of the International proletariat can prevent another and bloodier war and stop the looting of China and war against Workers’ Russia. Demand the with- drawal of imerialist forces from China! Defend the Chinese Soviet Republic! Defend the Soviet Union! Smash the plots of the imperialists for a new slaughter of the working- Class! Demand all war funds for the tmemployed! Imperialist Bandits Preparing to Pornee on China Under the pretense of invoking the “open door policy” against Japan, the United States, France, England and Italy are frantically moving to part- icipate with the Japanese in the looting of Chima. On Tuesday, Stim- son talked abewt invoking the Nine Power Pact With “guarantees” political amd territorial integrity of Ching. Yesterday, the imperialists came out More openly as “asserting” their treaty rights in China” and threatening to invoke the “open door” treaty ef 1900. Representations are to be mafe not only to Japan but to China. Japan’s attention is to be called to the “rights” of other na- tions in China. Prenee and Japan are acting to- on the basis of a treaty made m them in 1907 which under ot Ling od the ter~ tegrity of China pledges to maintein “the ter- its of the two contracting the continent of Asia.” has gained in signifi- reason of the anti-Soviet the imperialists, whose the colonia] masses is the existence of the Union and its inspiration to ll : zi Ae z i 3 5 i bery. The United States is straining every effort to maintain its lead- ership of the anti-Soviet front and to push Japan back to the Hmits of the secret understanding for armed intervention against the Soviet Union, with Manchuria and Inner Mongolia as Japanese military basses for the attack. An Officially-inspired Wash- ington dispatch to the New York Times gives the Japanese the fol- lowing open hint: U. 8, GIVES HINT TO JAPAN FOR SEIZURE OF INNER MON- GOLIA, WAR ON USSR “Whether Japan intends to drive south of the Great Wall, into China proper, is not clear from dispatches te the State Department. In petent optnion here, however, wn | @ move would be incidental and apart from the main mission of swinging toward the boundary of Inner Mongolia and entering that Pproyinee next Spring.” This, workers, is an open invitation by the U. 5. State Department to the Japanese to seize Inner Mongo- lia and speed up the preparations for the armed attack on the Soviet Union, which can. be clearly stated to be planned for this coming Spring. It is in the Spring that the United States plans a huge joint nav=i and military maneuver in the Pacific. The concentration for this maneuver has already begun. The Soviet newspa- per “Izvestia” points out the threat contained in this forthcoming ma- neuver to the Chinese Revolution and the Soviet Union. It says, in part: “The appearance on the scene of the United States war fleet at this juncture clearly emphasizes the firm determination of American imperialists not to allow any one party to raid China without giving them a share of the loot.” Imperialists Use White Guards in Harbin Riots. The recent riots instigated in Har- bin by White Guards and Chinese militarists are part of the plan to provoke the Soviet Union into war, just as the imperialist plot, headed by the Czech diplomat, to assassi- nate the Japanese ambassador to Moscow, was désigned to give the Japanese a pretext for declaring war against the Soviet Union, The firm peace policy of the Soviet Union has defeated these designs so far, but the imperialists are deter- mined to make war on the Soviet Union and will find the pretext. The rioting jn Harbin is a prelude to the occupation of that city by the Japanese. Harbin is on the Chinese Eastern Railway, which is jointly dp- erated by China and the Soviet Union. Imperialist) press dispatches a. few weeks ago openly admitted that the Japanesé were mobilizing the White Guard elements for an at- tack on the Chinese Eastern Railway and for depradations against the Si- berian border towns. A Nanking dispatch reports that the Japanese have already begun an invasion of Inner Mongolia. A Jap- anese force is marching from Chin- chew on Jehol Province. Japanese troops yesterday seized the city of Shanhaikwan, within the Great Wall of China. Japanese troops continue to parade in full war-time equipment in the workers’ quarters of Tientsin. Chinese merchants and government clerks are reported to be fleeing to the foreign concessions. Japanese Planes Murder Chinese Workers, Women and Children Japanese planes yesterday bombed several Chinese towns in Jehol Pro- vince, including Peipao and Tungliao. The usual “bandit” pretext was of- fered to justify this outrageous mur- der of'Chinese workers, women and children. The Japanese claimed that @ number of “bandits” have fled into Jehol Province following the seizure by the Japanese of Chinchow. The imperialist bandits attempt to con- ceal their murderous banditry by branding all anti-imperialist fighters as “bandits.” Numerous bands of Red partisan troops are putting up a he- Tote resistance against the Japanese invaders in Manchuria. Four Japanese expeditions against the Red partisan troops left Mukden yest#day, proceeding in the areas around Mukden, Liaoyang, Sinmin and Tiehling. At Tiehling, partisan troops defeated the Japanese and opened the prison liberating scores of anti-imperialist fighters whom the Japanese and their Chinese lackeys had thrown into jail. Amid the cheers of the population they set fire to the prison buildings. Another sharp clash between Japanese and the par- tisan troops occurred yesterday five miles north of Liaoyang. The Jap- anese report 40 Chinese and one Jap- anese killed. ‘The British yesterday protested to the Japanese against the withholding of funds from the Mukden-Peiping Railway, which is controlled by the British imperialists. British rail offi- cials also proceeded to Mukden yes- terday to negotiate with the Japanese for reopening through traffic on the British-controlled railway. Koomintang Traitors Openly Aiding Partition. Kuomintang police in the city of Foochow yesterday aided the Japan- ese in tearing down anti-Japanese posters. These have been replaced by Kuomintang slogans. The workers are furious, and demonstrations are be- ing arranged against the imperialists and the Kuomintang running dogs. A Geneva dispatch reports that the Kuomintang traitors have expressed their willingness of placing China at the tender mercies of the imperialist vultures in the League of Nations. ‘This they have already done in prac- tice, alding in every way the parti- tion of China and using their troops and police to shoot down Chinese workers and peasants in a murderous attack on the Chinese Revolution and the mass anti-imperialist upsurge. The League of Nations is reported to be reviving its gesture of sending a Commission to China. Lord Lytton, former British Viceroy of India, ts announced as the British member of the commission. From 1922 to 1927, this imperialist butcher acted gs Governor-| 1 of Bengal. He was also chief British propsgenda lar during the last imperialist slaughter.

A similar conference will be held in New York on Jan. 31 to build up a mass movement for the release of Mooney and Billings. Only mass, militant demonstra- tions of the workers everywhere, fighting against the rotten capital- ist system and demanding unemploy~ ment insurance, will be the lever which will force Mooney and Bill- ings’ release. Who Controls Foreign Loans -and Why | ‘ROSVENOR M. JONES, chief of the finance and investment division | of the Burean of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, part of the Com- merce Department of the U, S. Government, spilled a large and smelly | pot of beans before the Senate Finance Committee on Jan. 6, Summarizing his revelations, he exposed—accidentally, of course- that the secret imperialist diplomacy of the U. S. State Department is the final authority on whether loans pending by Wall Street bankers to foreign governments shall go through or not. Workers should under- stand from this just “whose government” it is that rules at Washington.

Jones testified that, at t, in order virtually to bribe Bolivian government politicians to support Yankee imperialism at a congress of the Pan-American Union, the Department of Commerce consented in 1928, to 2 loan by the Dillon-Read though the Department of Commerce knew that Bolivia was more than it could possibly pay back. Bank to Bolivia of $23,000,000; al- borrowing Nothing, of course, was said about the Soviet Union. The mem- hers of the Senate Finance Committee are, equally with the U. 5. State Department, enemies of the Soviet Union and co-conspirators with it in war preparations against the Soviet Union. But the fact remains that this same Department of Commerce, which set the seal of its approval on Joans to countries it knew were bankrupt, because imperialist secret diplomacy of the State Department de-( manded it, only a few months ago issued a “warning” to Amer- \ ican manufacturers not to allow its purchases. the Soviet Union any credit on | ‘When workers consider that there has never been a legitimate con- tract of payment for goods that the Soviet Union has ever failed to carry out and pay in full, and when workers remember that the Hoover-Stimson regime hes moved heaven and earth the Soviet Union and to construct an iron ring of reactionary govern- | ments around it; then these workers to build up a financial blockade of can realize WHY the U. 8. govern- | ment can approve Wall Street loans to bankrupt Latin American gov- ernments, while using the most bare-faced lies to destroy Soviet credits that might help the Soviet complete quicker the Five Year Plan of so- clalist construction. ‘When the workers understand that this under-handed attack on the | Soviet Union also threw more American workers out of work, who might in some measure be employed on Soviet orders, they will understand the supreme contémpt that the Washington government has for their wel- fare, as well as the bitter hatred that is moving Washington to make every snéaking attack possible on the Soviet Union as a prelude to open warfare!

ATTORNEY SENT TO DEFEND MINERS IS ARRESTED: RELIEF IS NEEDED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Papers here say that Kettle Island Mines have returned, but there is no such information here. The press has repeatedly Hed about the strike trying to stampede the miners back. The American Legion in Pinevil- le, Middlesboro, Barbersville and Highland, under the inspiration of the coal operators, held a meeting in Pineville, January 5, and urged more drastic legislation be adopted against Communists and revolution- ists. They did not mention the Na- tional Miners Union, but the cap- italist press here mixes up the N. M. U. and the Communist Party. The miners who are members of the American Legion refused to attend the meeting and were apgered by the resolutions. Five hundred striking miners’ rep- resentatives packed a general strike committee meeting at the warehouse, 145 Pine St., here yesterday. The delegates representd 8,000 or more strikers. ‘The meeting was opened by Bill Meeks, secretary of the Kentucky dis- trict of the National Miners Union. The chairman was Jim Garland, dis- cussion and reports came from all lo- cals. A high spirit of determination to win the strike was manifested. A General Strike Executive Com- mittee of 16 was elected, of which Joe ‘Weber was elected seeretary. “Spread the Strike” Conference.

A resolution calling for the support of the “Spread the Strike” Conference on January 24th was unanimously adopted.

Local relief committees with mules and wagons are collecting relief. At the Kentucky Utilities the ground is charged with high voltage electricity for 500 feet in order to keep out the pickets. Chief Pearl Osborne of Pineville stated he would recognize the United Mine Workers of America but not the “Roosian Reds”, and that he would do all he could for the miners. He said the coal operators and the city force met last night and decided on this. Relief is badly_needed immediately. Rush food and clothing to W. I. R., 145 Pine St., Pineville, Ky. Under the signature of Frank Bo- rich, National Secretary of the Na- tional Miners Union, and Bill Meeks, secretary of the Southern District of the National Miners Union, the fol- lowing statement has been issued pro- testing the raid and arrests: “The raid on the headquarters of the National Miners Union in Pine- ville, Ky., and arrest of organizers, relief directors, reporters and steno- graphers on instructions of County Attorney Smith and Judge Van Be- ber show clearly that the entire county administration is the tool of the coal operators.. The preme- ditated raid and arrests is an at- tempt to break our strike against starvation and terror. “Despite the brutal terror, slan- der and intimidation ten thousand bungry and ragged miners have al- ready answered the strike call of the N. M. U. Additional thousands are preparing to join the growing ranks of the strikers. Mass picket- ing of men, women and children; Negro and white has succeeded in shutting down dozens of mines in spite of the terror of the gun thugs and the law. “This renewed wave of terror- raiding, arrests, and tying up of re- lief funds etc., by the coal operators and their government tools is an a tempt to behead the strike move- Father Cox, visibly disturbed and trying to rid himself of the responsi- bility, called a hurried march to the capitol without informing the march- ers. Only about 800 or 1,000 showed up there, and the “demonstration” of prayer lasted about 12 minutes, Three Die of Exposure. Three workers have died from ex- posure, directly due to the fact that no provision was made for feeding or housing the unemployed as Fa~ ther Cox had promised. The rank and file committee in the hunger march issued a leaflet to the marchers. Two workers are now Jin jail for distributing this leaflet. ployed to organize and fight for un- employment insurance. It pointed out that “relief would not| come | through prayers but only through the organized might of the workers. After the capitol “demonstration,” the marchers followed the fat priest Father Cox to Arlington cemetery | where grave of the “Unknown Soldier”, and where father Cox glorified imperial- ist war and slaughter. oo e PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 7.—Thou- sands of hungry unemployed workers who were lured out onto the high- ways and in the hunger march or- ganized by Father Cox, strikebreaker, by promises of food and trucks to Washington, have returned te Pitts- burgh; and hundreds more limped through the mountains cold and hungry. There was no leadership or organ- ization whatever from the start. There was discrimination in the dis- tribution of food and as to who should ride. Go Without Food. Hundreds walked all Tuesday, day and night, without food. Many col- lapsed by the roadside. The newspa- pers reported that all marchers re- ceived six days’ rations—a complete lie. The thousands that walked and many that rode received nothing. No sleeping accommodations were made. Mass pressure and great militancy forced the authorities of Blairsville to turn over the school, city hall and Moose temple to the marchers who elected their own committee. Refuse to Pick Up Marchers. The desperate marchers tore up Picket fences and blocked roads Tues- day night to get rides. Cars and trucks bearing Father Cox's name passed empty and half empty refus- ing to help the marchers. Some of Father Cox's drivers demanded money to carry penniless and starv- ing workers. A bakery truck was raided for food. In Johnstown 20 were taken from freight trains and thrown in jail for 4 month. Railway bulls raided freight trains at Altoona, threatening the unemployed with guns and blackjacks, and forcing workers to the highway. Father Cox, saying mass at the Huntintong Cathedral, told the marchers that from Washington on he had no responsiility. He left the marchers to stare and shift for them- Selves after leading them into the swamp. Many quit the march here. Rumors are spread that two young workers were frozen stiff in @ box car in the mountains. Several of the marchers were killed on the highway, while the death toll in- directly through exhaustion, star- vation and sickness will be great. Father Cox is exposed before thou- sands as a demagogic faker who cares nothing for the misery of the un- employed. ment; to continue with, and extend the starvation-persecution policy of the coal operators and their govern- ment agents. This fresh attack is recognition of the effectiveness and further growth of the strike move- ment against starvation and terror. The raids and arrests of organizers and relief workers will not weaken, but strengthen our strike, We see in this move an attempt to break our strike for the right to live.

One of the workers called upon the delegates to fall into line and ex- plained to the throngs of workers 200,000 unemployed workers in other parts of Southern California. This was a signal for the Red Squad and city police to make a drive against the workers with night sticks and blackjacks. Clubs swung right and left and men, women and children were soon lying prostrate on the streets. The incensed masses of workers, shouting “Down with Police Terror” rallied around the delegates and amidst shouting and cheering the parade commenced. Meanwhile other workers rushed to the assistance of the injured workers and dragged them away from the police who were attempting to put them into patrol wagons which lined the adjacent streets. So mili- tant were the workers that all the efforts of the police to prevent the parade and the Jeaving of the del- egates were frustrated. | | BRUTAL TERROR FAILS TO ch | STOP CAL.
