Out of 70,000 unemployed, only 4,000 are getting relief from the city. The mass meeting adopted a reso- lution condemning Mayor Anderson and the Farmer-Labor Party and en- dorsing the February 4th demonstra- tion at Bridge Square at 4 p.m. A resolution was also adopted demand- ber of needy cases to the Community Chest for relief. A few local dicks and representa- tives of the Community Chest Relief Association were present in the hall. Power challenged these bosses’ lack- eys to repudiate the damaging testi- mony submitted against them, How- ever none of the bosses’ lackeys who otherwise browbeat, intimidate and starve the workers, had the guts upon this occasion to take the wit- ness stand and defend their position. In his final summary Powell further exposed their fakery which made them wriggle uneasily and sweat in their chairs. By its miltancy the Unemployed Councils have already won some sub- stantial relief for many needy fam- ilies in this capital of American im- human misery, with murder, arson and wanton destruction rampant. “The slaughter of innocent cool- jes in the streets of the Japanese sector ef the International Conces- sion, continued night and day. “The execution of confused sus- pects is taking place hourly in a charnel house shack in the rear ot the Japanese naval landing party.

Japan then instructed her Ambas- sador at Moscow to make a request to the Soviet Union for the use of the railway in transporting Japanese | troops. The Soviet Union replied that it was agreeable to the Japanese request if the Chinese, as half own- ers of the road, do not object, and if the railway property is not da- maged. A sharp battle is proceeding at Harbin between Japanese troops and Chinese forces. The Japanese are supported by Chinese troops of their puppet Kirin government. The Japa- nese imperialists are rushing addi- tional troops to Harbin, and are us- ing the situation in an attempt to force the Soviet Union into war. The Japanese are cold-bloodedly calculating that by driving the Sov- jet Union into war, they would thus be assured of the further support of the other imperialist powers, and would preclude the possibility of an armed clash with the rival imperial- ists. It is, in fact, on this basis, as well as on the armed attack on the Chinese Soviet Republic and the di- yesterday. The United Press quotes the American Consul as stating: “With the arrival of additional vessels, we shall be able to clean out the snipers and control refu- gees, Communist students and Ja- bor unionists within the Settle- ment.” United States and British warships are moving, together with Japanese warships against the Chinese Soyiet Republic, against the Chinese Red Army. Against the only force in China which can liberate the masses from the slavery and oppression of the imperialists and their Kuomin- tang lackeys. The attack on the Chinese masses is being carried out jointly by the same imperialist mur- derers who are shooting down the starving workers in the “home” coun- tries, who are denying relief to the unemployed and their families and children and are slashing the wages of the unemployed. The Wall Street imperialists who are shooting down striking miners in Kentucky and spreading their lynch terror against Negro and white workers are jointly responsible with the Japanese and other imperialists for the monstrous |and through it all of Kuomintang | also has a sphere of interest and tre- | mendous investments in China, for- | gets that Wall Street controlled the | now bankrupt Nanking government China, The United States imperial- ists are as much engaged in looting | China as the other imperial buz- | zards with whim they are at present | carrying on a diplomatic struggle for their desired share, a struggle which may possibly turn into an armed slaughter, It is because of the collapse of | their Nanking tools, following the re- Pudiation of Chiang Kai-shek and | others by the Chinese masses and | the turn of the masses to the revo- Jutionary struggle as the only way out of the oppression and misery inflicted by the imperialists and their tools that the imperialists have now turned to direct armed attack on} the Chinese masses, This is clearly | indicated in a dispatch from Shang- | hai, which describes the terrific mis- ery of the Chinese masses, and adds: “This colossal scale of depriva- tion among the inhabitants of the Yangtze Valley has given an im- _ petus to the Communist movement | country find itself a participant forces by the British and American imperialists is aimed at the Chinese masses primarily, is further shown by the following from a London dis- patch: “General warfare growing out of the Asfatic situation in which thls | is not yet contemplated even as 4 remote possibilty.” The Japanese have occupied the Hangkow Post Office within the In- ternational Settlement.
