NEW YORK.—Tearing the mask from the Father Cox.hunger march -+--to Washington, the National Com- mittee of the Unemployed Councils has issued a statement completely exposing and analyzing this event, ._ calling on the workers throughout .- the country to push. forward the real struggle for unemployment in- surance by insuring. hnge. mass demonstrations on February. 4th, National Unemployment Insurance ~ Day. ‘The statement on the Cox: hungey *-march, signed by Herbert» Benjamin, national secretary, follows: “From its very inception to its dis- graceful conclusion, Cox's action pro- vides a classical example of the manner in which demagogues mis- lead, exploit and deceive the poverty atricken masses. Starting with a Yague program calling for jobs (with- , ®ut indicating how jobs can be pro- vided for the twelve. million unem- { ployed) and for “prayers to soften the hearts of the president : lem-~ bers of Congress,” Cox. hi em- atically sought to divert thr sses from the path of mass struggle. This and the advancement of the political ambitions of Pinchot has beeh the only concern of this pious hypocrite. ““Manifestly, however, the workers who joined in the march were motl- vated only by a desire to give furt expression to their determination struggle against hunger and to- the demands which they have repeatedly made upon the government, for work or adequate immediate relief and un- employment insurance. The unem- ployed who participated. in this march did not come to Washington to sing patriotic songs, to pray or to display, the American flag. They did not seek as Cox, to offset the effect of the great National Hunger March. On. the contra-y they were inspired to join in further struggle by the his- ) toric action carried through under revolutionary leadership. They came empty stomachs to demand bread. The praise that was given them by Hoover, Davis and Kelly will not fill their stomachs. They have _ learned once again, that they cannot make the government and bosses abandon the policy of mass starva- tion unless they fight “That is why the bosses can find no comfort In the Cox's Army. That is why Cox has so carefully arranged that no actual unemployed worker and only he shall speak. That is also | why thousands of workers who start | ed with the march. left on the first day and returned to Pittsburgh. “The disorganized character of the action led by Cox is no accident. Cox seeks to destroy the faith of the masses in their ability to make ad- vances through their own organized efforts. Furthermore Cox did not! dare,-even if he could, create an or- | ganization with broad leadership. | That's why the action around the Capitol was such a disgraceful spec- tacle from the point of view of or- ganization, let alone militancy. Cer- tainly, however, the workers in this | march were and will yet prove their ability to conduct militant, organized struggle. ! “Like the infamous czarist spy, Fa- ther Gapon, who led the workers of St. Petersburg into the bloody trap that has gone into history as “Bloody Pasadena Group Answers Challenge The Pasadena Frineds of Daily Worker group has ac- cepted the challenge of the Lebanon, N. H. Friends of the Daily Worker group for socialist competition in all} revelutionary activities, in- cluding activities In the cam- paign for 12-month subscriptions to the Daily Worker. The letter of the Pasadena group is as fol- lows: “We accept your challenge| for socialist competition.

It will make more difficult the task of those who seek to defeat our struggles by means of demagogy.

WARNS JAPAN IN QUARREL OVER CONTROL OF CHINA (CONTINUED FROM PAGE “onE) which might challenge the “rights” of the United States in China. The} present new Nanking government is dominated by the Canton tools of Japanese imperialism. ‘The Canton clique secured control of the Nan- king government following the col- lase of Chiang Kai-shek as a result of the mass upsurge in .China. Chiang is a tool of American imper- jalism. ‘Fhe Washington note is a warning that the United States does not in- tend to be left out in the looting and partition of China. It is also in the form of continued and intensified diplomatic pressure on the Japanese to force them back to the limits of | the agreement for armed interven- tion against the Soviet Union, with the Japanese acting as the spear- head in the attack on workers’ Rus- sia and converting Manchuria into a fon. ‘The present clash has been de- veloping for some time as a result of the Japanese attemts to push their own imperialist interests. beyond the agreement with American imperial- ism, exploiting the chaotic situation in Kuomintang China and the rise to power of the Canton agents of Japanese imperialism. U. S, Tries Line Up Other Powers The sending of the American note was preceded by secret conferences for several days between Stimson and the Ambassadors of England, France and Italy. The United States is trying to line up these powers for joint pressure against the Japanese. Copies of the American note were given yesterday to the representat- ives of these powers and to repre- sentatives of Portugal, the Nether- Jands, and Belgium. This was done under the pretense of these powers being signatories to the Nine-Power Pact, “guaranteeing” the territorial and administrative integrity of China. It is significant that all of these powers hold huge colonial popula- tions in enslavement. Norway, Sw- eden, Bolivia, Denmark and Mexico, while signatories to the Pact, were note. These latter countries have no possessions in the strict sense of the term. ‘The receipt by the Japanese gov- ernment of the American note was followed by the resignation in a body anese Emperor refused to accept the resignation and requested Premier Tnukai to continue at the head of the government, The resignation was carried out as a pretended protest against an alleged attempt to assas~- sinate the emperor during a royal procession through the streets of To- kyo. An American eye-witness of the attempt to bomb the emperor's carriage questions the sincerity of the attempt. He reports: “As the second carriage passed me J noticed a queer sort of gray object hurtling through the air. Then there was an explosion and a@ puff of smoke, “I did not notice any concussion, and neither did the crowd, it seems although I was about forty feet from the place where the bomb burst.” ‘The eye-witness is James L.

The Gov- ernment is increasingly concerned over the movement, “Officials said the boycott was increasing rapidly throughout China and that many Japanese firms, threatened with bankruptcy, had asked the Government for in- demnity.” The British imperialist press ex- presses surprise over the United States move. A London dispatch de- clares: “Everywhere the action is de- scribed as a grave challenge and the tenor of Secretary Stimson's note to Tokyo is referred to as stern.” France and England Rejects U. 8. Lead ‘The Reuter’s News Agency charac- terizes Stimson’s action as marking “the gravest development that has yet taken place in the Manchurian crisis.” The French government has refused to back the United States in its diplomatic pressure against the Japanese. A Paris dispatch reports that the French Foreign Office an- nounced yesterday “it had no inten- tion of following the lead of the Uni- ted States in recalling to Japan her obligations under the Nine Power, treaty.” This means that the French imperialists intend to continue their support to the Japanese on the basis that their loot in China is not threatened by the Japanese invasion of Inner China. The French inter- ests are corfined to Southern China. ‘They expect the provinces of Yun- nan and Kwangsi as part of their loot in the partition of China. England has also indicated she will not join the United States in the present move, The present situation contains all of the elements for a rapid armed intervention against the Chinese Revolution, for the partition of China, at the same time tremend- ously increasing the danger of war against the Soviet Union. ‘Under the direction of the French imperialists, « conference is being held at Warsaw between represent- atives of the Polish and Rumanian governments, The question of sign- ing a non-aggressive pact with the Soviet Union is under considera- tion, The Soviet Union has ex- pressed its willingness to sign such a pact, but the French imperialists do not desire such a pact. As a re- sult all sorts of difficulties are be- ing raised by the Rumanian and Polish governments, It is now all the more necessary to make February 4, National Un- employment Insurance Day, a day of tremendous demonstrations throughout the country, for unem~ ployment relief and insurance, and against imperialist war and for the defense of the Chinese Soviet Re- Public and the Soviet Union, de- world.

Japanese planes again bombed a number of Chinese towns yesterday, killing and injuring hundreds of | Chinese workers, women and chil- dren. In a statement admitting the | heroic resistance of the Red partisan troops in Manchuria, the Japanese government announces its intention to increase its already huge forces in Manchuria. The Japanese are or- dering their Chinese puppet govern- ments in Manchuria to aid in the campaign of suppression against the Chinese masses in Manchuria, A number of Red partisan prisoners have been turned over to the Chinese authorities for execution. Japan Rushing More Troops To Manchuria A dispatch from Mukden to the| New York Times reports that ‘des- perate fighting proceeded all day at the town of Tiehling, thirty-odd miles northward of Mukden on the | South Manchurian Railway.” Red | partisan troops were engaged yester- | day in fierce attacks against the Jap- anese in many sections of Manchuria. Reflecting the sharpening clash of interests between the imperialists, a definite split has developed in the new counter-revolutionary Nanking government. A Shanghai dispatch reports the resignation of Wang Ching-wei, the infamous “left” Can- ton ‘leader, from the Nanking gov- ernment. Wang is reported to have formed an alliance with Chiang Kai- shek in a movement to overthrow the present Nanking governmet and set up a new dictatorship of Chiang, Wang and Hu Han-min.
