This shows that the campaign for 5,000 12-month subscriptions is holding up as the week progresses. The figures also indicate that. dis- triets which have so far been lagging behind are forging their way to the front. District 18, for example, was in the lead yesterday with 92 months of subs, District 8 came next with 77 months. Then came Cleveland with 68, District 5 with 66, and New York with 52.

York Times, the Wall Street Government yesterday openly in- eited the Japanese and the White Guard elements in Manchuria to attack the Soviet Union. Openly waging a savage war of suppression and starvation against the hungry millions and the Negro national minority ef this country, the im- perialist war moners brazenly re- vealed their plans for armed inter- vention against workers’ Russia, the only country where unemployment. and national and race hatreds have been abolished. The Inspired state- ment to the Times, which inter- prets the attitude of Washington officials, gives the following open hint to the Japanese and their White Guard tools in Manchuria: “The Japanese military objec- tive appears to observers here te be the expleration of Manchuria and probably Inner Mongolia the consolidation of the occupation, and the efforts through diplomatic means to ‘legalize’ her position.” For Armed Attack On Soviet Union “The consolidation ef the oceypa- tien” means nothing else but the erushing of the heroic resistance of » Red partisan treops in Man- churia and eonverting Manchuria into a military base for the planned attack on the Seviet Union. “Ex- ploratien” of Inner Mongolia. means | y the broadening of the front ef the Far Eastern military base against ) the Soviet. Union, with an attack on the independent Soviet Government of Outer Mongolia, which is naturally Sympathetic to the Soviet Union. This has been the American line from the beginning of the oceupay tion of Manchuria by the Japanese. Tt was on the basis of this ttacit understanding that Manchuria should the converted into an armed base against the Soviet Union that the United States imperialists have been tacitly and actively supporting and condoning the Japanese aggressions against the Chinese masses of Man- churia. Behind all the “sharp” notes by Stimson to the Japanese was this plan of the Wall Street government te use Manchuria as an armed base, and the Japanese as the spear head in the armed attack om workers’ Russia. The Stimson notes were in- tended to exert diplomatic pressure om the Japanese to stop their chal- lenge to Wall Street control over Kuomintang, China and to bring ) them back to the immediate job of Sets Plan of Attack for White Guards ‘That the United States now con- Do the places where you spend your money advertise in the Worker?

He has been in Inner Mongolia, and it would come as no surprise if he attemtped to organize a White Russian force to hold that region for Japan. It is estimated by ex- Perts here that with proper finan- cial backing a force of 50,000 White Russians could be organized in Manchuria in thirty days.” As leader in the anti-Soviet front, the Wall Street government is fi- nancing the Japanese seizure of Manchuria. American imperialists newspapers have admitted that Japan's adventure in Manchuria would have been impossible but for America, a financial support. Wall Str@2t will no doubt finance the ‘White Guards in Manchuria, just as Secretary Stimson’s sister is financ- ing the Paris organization of the White Guards. U. S. Satisfied, Continues Support ef Japan With Japanese treops advancing toward Harbin and the Soviet, fron- tier, with White Guards and Chin- ese militarists threatening the Chin- ese Eastern Railway, which is jointly owned by the Chinese and the Soviet Union, the United States is smugly Satisfied with the turn of events. The inspired dispatch makes this clear in | the following statement: “No further step by the United States islocked for unless events in the Far East should take a new turn.” Im the meantime, the United States Congress and the American imper- jalist press are calling for lynch law against the Hawaiian masses and clamoring for the establishment of a Raval dictatorship over the Hawaiian outpost of United States imperialism. Plans are being pushed for the huge mobilization of United States military and naval forces in the Pacific this spring. This mobilization coincides with the time indicated by several imperialist sourees for the armed at- tack on the Soviet Union. . Soviet Protests Against White Guards Activities ‘The Soviet Ambassador to Japan, Alexandre ‘Trojanowsky, yesterday filed a formal protest with the Jap- anese government against the activi- ties of White Guard elements near the Chinese Eastern Railway and the Soviet frontier. He called attention of Premier Inukai to the threats of White Guard leaders and Chinese militarists to seize the Chinese East- ern Railway. These elements are supported by the Japanese. Red Partisans in Further Victories Red partisan troops continued yes- terday to punish the Japanese in- vaders in several engagements in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. A large Jaanese force is reorted trapped near Chinshi in Inner Mongolia. The Japanese are rushing 3 con- siderable force to their aid, with ar- tillery and bombing planes. A sharp battle is still proceeding. That the Japanese intend to avenge them~ selves on the population around Chinsi for the defeats inflicted by the Red partisan troops, is indicated ina Shanghai dispatch, which states; “A strong punitive force, sup- ported by artillery and airplanes, is on the way to mete heavy pun- ishment for the Killing of fitty } Japanese soldiers, including seven officers, in the last few days.” A later dispatch from Tokyo ad- mits at least 500 Japanese killed in the engagement around Chinsi, Red Soviet Workers Well Fed, Says American U.S. 8.

Lines were again formed and a huge parade was be- gun to California Hall, where the convention was scheduled. The streets around the convention were black with people. The main audie torium in California Hal] was jammed and the overflow crowd filled the basement halls. A huge crowd was addressed on the street, but had to be turned away due to lack of hall space. The convention was opened amid wild enthusiasm with the report of the State Hunger March Commitiee. Governor Rolph sent a detail of detectives to the Convention Hall with his written reply, saying he can do no more than he already has. He attacked the jobless workers, saying that the objection to present “relief” is that the unemployed have to work to get, maintenance. He made slurring remarks concerning the unwillingness of the unemployed te work. He urged the unemloyed no tto “threaten” the government, and to follow Father Cox's example in Washington. Workers Indignant. ‘The convention burst into a dem- onstration of indignation against Rolph’s reply and then proceeded to work out plans for consolidating the movement organizationally and to carry forward greater struggles, especially preparations for a huge mass demonstration on Feb. 4. 300 Join Communist Party. On an appeal for members to jein the Communist Party there came a gigantic response. When 200 applications had been turned in the speaker said: “We will take the balance of the applications later.” The delegates and visitors arose in their seats with a great roar and refused to let the meet- ing continue until their applica- tions had been taken, A total of over 300 applications were turned in, Based on conservative estimates 60,000 workers’ participated in meet- ings where the delegations were elected. The capitalist press in edi- torials this morning raged against the demonstration. Their positions ranged from the “Chronicle's,” which called for greater police terror against “professional hunger march- ers,” to that of the Cripps-Howard “News,” which declares that “The unemployed are alienating their ehanees for relief by such aggres- sive tactics.” The convention closed with the election of a State “Fight Hunger” Committee of 75 to carry on the struggle. “The labor movement will gain the upper hand and show the way to peace and socialism.” LENIN, = partisan troops were also victorious in engagements with the Japanese at Ihsien, between Chinchow and Etchaoyang, and at Tahushan. ‘The extent of the operations of the Red Partisan troops and their heroic re- sistance to theJapanese is admitted in the inspired Washington dispatch to The Times: “Experts also believe the Japa~ nese forces will have their hands full with warfare waged by irregu- lay Chinese forces.

The Party is to be built in every struggle, campaign, in every masa agtivity of the workers, in strikes and demonstrations. The present recruiting drive for the Party, which is concentrated primarily on the basin industries and among the Negro workers, must be not only linked up but made a part of the campaign for the building of the Daily Worker, ‘There is a gross underestimation of the importance of the Daily ‘Worker as 4 collective agitator, organizer and leader of the working class.

So, while we have the slogan ef doubling the Party membership, the Daily Worker circulation at the same time should also be doubled. ‘This is possible, as we can see from the present drive where the Party is net sufficiently mobilized for this task and especially the Party did not mobilize masses of workers around the Party for this drive, and yet we are making some h ‘With the full orgamizagon of the Party and the mass organizations, the Daily Worker ean be built inte a mighty weapon of the workers of the United States, wkieh is the only workers’ daily in the English language in this country.

Outside of the strike area, because ef the decisive issues involved in the strike, because fo the class character of this battle and its sharply contrasted class alignments, because it is taking place in a Southern state where the special forms of oppression ef the Negro workers are bound up inseparably with the whole strike struggle, because masses of southern workers can be organized for support of this struggle, and because there is in the strike the unity of white and Negro workers, and unity with the revolutionary Party of the American working class with thousands of southern native born workers in basic industry, the main task is the organization of mass support for the relief of the strikers and their fam- ilies, and of the defense of the arrested miners and organizers.

Masses of workers at the demon stration, when notified that the dele gation was arrested inside the build~ ing and not allowed to leave, exhi- bited the greatest indignation and determined to rescue the imprisoned comrades, surging forward and break- ing through the door of the build- ing. ‘They were finally dispersed when ear leads of police arrived. Tuesday morning at eight o'clock more than 400 workers gathered in front of the police station at 48th St. and Wabash Ave. where the pris- oners were held. ‘The workers milled around the building demanding the release of the imprisoned comrades ‘The majority of these 400 were white workers, coming from other sections of the city, together with many Ne- gro workers, Masses of workers in ali parts of the city are preparing to demand the release of the workers at the police station on Wednesday morning A series of other mass meetings, inchiding four Young Communist League Liebknecht meetings, are be- ing transfermed into pretest demon, strations, also fer Friday night. The Liebkneeht meetings at which mass protests will be held are sched- wled as follows: Peoples Auditorium, 2457 West Chicago Ave.; West Side Workers Club, 3151 Roosevelt Road; ‘West Side Open Ferum Hall, 338 South Halsted. Also, the Jim Grace meetings will be transformed into mass protest meetings to demand the release of the arrested. Resolutions are being sent to Mayor Cermak and chief of Police Allman. The activity is being eon- ducted under the following main slogans: Fer immediate, adequate relief and unemployment insurance. Stop the new wave of evictions. For the right of the workers to assemble and organize, and the right to the streets. Immediate removal ef Cap- tain Stege and Barker, and aboli- tion ef the Red Squad. For the de- fense of Negro workers, and unity of Negro and white workers against the bosses’ government, Abolition of the slums and immediate bu%d- ing of houses by the city at trade union wages.

Call On Workers to Join Party. A leaflet issued by the Communist Party calls upon the workers to an~ swer this latest brutal attack en the workers and the Communist Party by joining the Party in large masses, also urging the best elements in the mass organizations to join the Com- munist Party. A special appeal is made to the workers in the steckyards to join the struggle against wage cuts, speed- up and starvation. The capitalist press here is doing everything possible in an attempt to break the unity of the Negro and white workers by charging that white Communists are responsible for or- ganizing Negro workers to fight for relief, Defend the Soviet Unien against the attack of the bosses! AFL LOCAL CALLS FOR FIGHT 70 BACK JOBLESS INSURANCE —_— (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and against unemployment insur- ance, Only one member, former business agent Kibovits, spoke against the resolution. But when it was put to @ vote not a single yote was recorded against the demand for unemploy- ment insurance. The resolution reads: “There are 12,000,000 totally un- employed workers and at least 10,- 000,000 working only part tims in the United States, and the industria) orisis gets deeper from month to month, with the employers th‘ow- ing further millions of workers into unemployment, and “The relief policies of the govern- ment, local, state and national, leay~ ing to each community thecare of its own unemployed by means of charity collections, have failed to~ tally to relieve the famished condi- tion of the workers and their fam~- ies, with the regult that there is now prevailing the most terrible state of mass hunger, destitution and actual starvation in the history of this country, and this is rapidly get- ting worse, and “This devastating situation de- mands the immediate establishment of national government unemploy+ ment insurance as the only means to ward off wholesale starvation by the workers and their families, and “The decision of the 1981 conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor and the policy of the Execu- tive Council of the A.

There Was some confusion caused recently by the fact that Dr. Charles ‘ama who, following the alleged bomb plots | “against” fascist dignitaries in the United States, and signing himself as an official of the Anti-Fascist. League, ealled upon Congressman Fish to propose a government. in-| vestigation of both fascist and anti-) fascist activities in the United States. This confusion now is cleared away completely for everyone who will read the letterhead of the red baiting American Alliance where the name of Dr. Charles Fama is prominently displayed, together with that of Gr ver Whalen, another advocate of an! working class provocation by for- gerles and bomb plots, as a member of the Advisory Committee. The bills which the American Al- liance is beosting are, according to one of its recent circular letters, House Bill No. 1,967, introduced by Congressman Carl G. Bachman, 4 member of the Fish Committee, which provides for “strengthening immigra~ tion laws to prevent the admission of Communists into the United States, and providing for the im- mediate deportation of all alien Com- munists”; House Bill No. 5,659, in- troduced by Hamilton Fish, Jr., “au- theorizing the Department of Justice to investigate the revolutionary ac- tivities and propaganda of the Com- munists in the States,” and, “enforce- ment of the provision ef the tariff act of 1930, Section 307, effective Jan- uary 1, 1932, prohibiting the importa~ tion of goods protiueed or manufac- tured in part er in whole by forced Tabor.” Since the Treasury Department has denied vehemently that such rulings are directed against the Seviet Union, it is interesting to read the state- ments of supporters of this proposal like Congressman Robert S. Hail, of Mississippi, whieh the American Al- Hianee ecireular quotes as follows: “E believe the question of trade rela- tions with Russia affects the United States far more than any other coun- try in the world. I anticipate that we are going to Jose a billion dol~ lars annually, in our export trade on the world market, in four commo- dities alone—wheat, lumber, oil and! eotton—from competition with forced labor in Soviet Russia, paid 20 cents a day.

Another Step Toward Suppression This is a further step in the pro- gram of Hoover-Wall Street govern~- ment for solving the crisis at the ex- pense especially of the most expicit— ed and oppressed section of the work- ing population—Negrees and foreign born workers. ‘The American Alliance in its lites- ature raise sharply the whole question of the struggle for legal and extra legal suppression of working claas or- ganizations and especially of the Communist Party. The Council for the Protection of the Foreign Born, such organizations as the Intema- tional Labor Defense and the mji- itant unions of the Trade Union Gn ity League, can take up these issues, and especially in this presidentia! campaign year, when all the class re- lationships are sharpened by the deepening crisis and the rapidiy in creasing misery and militancy of the masses, organize and lead a move- ment powerful enough to defeat these new efforts for the suppression of working class organizations in pre- paration for further encroazchmens ef the living standard of the masses and imperialist war.
