Another scheme of the bankers to increase their graft was to propose that subway, street car and. elevated fares be raised. The income of the traction systems owned by Wall Street, now bring in $92,000,000 a year. An inerease of one cent in the fare would raise the profits of the bankers who own the traction systems by $19,000,000 a year, ‘Tammany Hell is willing to grant this inerease, if it can share sufliciently in the grat. There is a squabble now going on over this question, directed against hoth the employed and unemployed, as Well as over unemployment “relief.” Meanwhile, the whole Tammany “relief” scheme has flopped.

STRIKE AID MEET PLEDGES SUPPORT TO FEBRUARY 4th Struggle for Jobless Insurance (CONTIN mROM PAGE ONE) for the national day of struggle for unemployment insurance, Feb. 4th. February 4th will be a con- tinuation of the powerful national hunger march which united hun- dreds of thousands of workers in placing the demands for unemploy- ment insurance at the seat of the capitalist government, directly be- fore the hunger President Hoover.

Join the Unemployed Council in your neighborhood! Or- ganize—Join the Trade Union Un- ity League! Strike against wage cuts!” Twenty six striking German sea- men presented greetings to the Ken- tueky miners. They presented a re- solution which read: “We German seamen from S.S. Bockenim and 8.8. Schcierback on strike in the port of New York present to the Kentucky miners solidarity greetings. We pledge to do our utmost to strengthen the strike of the mtiners. We realize that the fight of the American miners is @ fight against the same bosses who cut-our wages twice in the last three months. Your fight is our fight!” Then they sang the song of the “Red Front Fighters,” which brought a storm of applause. Seymoure Burns, District Secretary of the W. I. R. and E.

Says Japan Is “World's Defense Against Sovietism.” | The statement of a Japanese dip- | lomat, Juiji G. Kasai, that the Japa- |nese in Manchuria constituted “the | world’s defense against Sovietism” | has been hailed by the American im- perialist press. Kasai is at present |on @ visit’ to this country, no doubt | for the purpose of secret confer- |ences with Stimson and other Wall | Street government officials, The Chinese Kuomintang news- | paper “Takungpao” states that the Chinese masses, aroused by the Jap- anese aggressions in Manchuria and other parts of China are turning to |Communism. This is a warning to | the imperialists that the Kuomin- tang lackeys are no longer able to stem the mass upsurge against im- perialism. It is a direct invitation to proceed with the partition of China. The imperialists who formerly in- tervened in China indirectly through their Chinese militarist: tools are now turning to direct intervention as a | result of the collapse of. Chiang Kai- shek’s Nanking government and the rapid disintegration of the Kuomin~ | tang before the anger of the masses. ‘The growing power of the Central Chinese Soviet Government, the tre- mendous victories of the Red Army, the sweeping growth of the influence jof the Chinese Communist Party | and the entrance of new sections of the.

Sees War Between Japan and U. S. “Inevitable.” A section of the Japanese im- perialists sees war as inevitable between Japan and the United States in the sharpening clash over the spoils of China, The Paris monthly “Moi” published an article by the retired Japanese Lieutenant General Kiukatsu Sato, stating openly this point of view. The article ‘asserts that Japan’s sole hope lies in the continent of Asia. That the United States, too, have definite plans with regard to Asia. The United States intends getting hold of Asia. Sator demands that “the greed of the power of the United States be broken, their unjustifiable attitude be exposed.” Sator further states |that while Japan is now attempting to settle disputed points medium of diplomacy, circumstances will, however, force Japan into a conflict with the United States. “War between Japan and America is the inveitable fate of our nation,” he declares. “Socialist” Leader Again Defends Japanese Imperialism. Vandervelde, Belgian socialists and a leader of the international gang of social-fascists, continues his service to imperialism. In attempting to justify his approval of the Man- churian seizure by the Japanese, Vandervelde publishes an article in the “Peuple” (Brussels), in which he states that he has received a letter of thanks from the counter-revolu- tionary Kuomintang party, confirm- ing the “exemplary neutrality” of his stand towards the Chino-Japanese conflict, More important than this is, how~ ever, the fact that Vandervelde once at the service of the living propa- flict, him “to avoid the impression that the Japanese and the Soviets, pre~ cisely like the (Tsarist) Russians and the English with regard to Persia on a previous occasion, have come to an agreement on the divid- ing up of Manchuria into spheres of influence.” With this assertion, Venderveld continuee the oid game of the Sec- ond International, the lying insinua- tion that the Soviet Union is pursu | ing imperialist aims ILLINOIS.
