May Day Rally Being Communist The social-fascists adorn them-| selves with communist feathers by publishing, on May 4, in the Volks- veitung, a picture of the communist demonstration, with the misleading caption: “In spite of the heavy rain, the New York workers had assembled in enormous masses for the demonstra- tion, the passing of which took more than three hours. Transparents, red flags and the above devouring dragon of Capitalism were carried through | | the streets in this imposing parade.” | Carefully hidden are the facts that | this was on Sunday, May 1, and that | this was the demonstration of the Communists, while the social-fascists had demonstrated already on Satur- day, when there was no rain. This is a conscious swindle to mis- | lead especially .the readers out of town into the belief that this had been the parade of the social-fascists, who, “in spite of the heavy rain,” courageously—stayed at home, and for whom it had been very conve- nient to construct the dragno, which is shown with pride in the picture, while in fact the Communists alone sacrificed money and time for this | showpiece. | The social-fascists are quite right: the workers’ demonstration took place on Sunday. They are quite right if they consider their own demonstra- tion on Saturday a bourgeois affair, | France Arms the Enemies of the Soviet Union By Labor Research Association (Bank of the Union of Uaris) of ''The French government officially | which Eugene Schneider is a dir-| involved in sending arms and mun-|ector, finances the above named ons to Japan, Hungary, Yugoslavia yumania, Turkey and a number of her countries on the borders of the wiet Union.

(Journal Officiel, 2,12,32). The French government through ‘a Banque Genérale de Credit fongrois (Hungarian General Bank ” Credit) recently lent a consider- ple sum to fascist Hungary without hforming parliament or even the sancial commission.

For his election fund, Hitler received 300,000 gold francs from Switzerland, a considerable sum from Holland and America, and large sums from the directors of the famous Skoda works, controlled by Schneider at Creuzot Besides both gun-powder and cart- ridges have been delivered by the Schneider company to companies and individuals in Germany. Although these revelations were brought out publicly in the Chamber of Deputies, nevertheless the French capitalist press has been completely silent with regard to the matter. This silence is easily understandable when it is known that even such important papers as Le Matin and Le Temps have been bought by the armament capitalists. France is, of course, not the only country from which arms are being sent in large quantities bordering the Soviet Union.

There remains only one consola- tion: This demonstration, the more imposing as the weather could not be worse, gets the social-fascists so on their nerves that unscrupulously they take credit for it and adorn them- selves with these Communist feathers. If we take a little patience, we will witness some day that these horse dealers announce to the world that the social-fascists, all alone by them- selves, have built up Soviet Russia.

The sailors in the motor launch returned the fire of the troops but were finally forced to retire. Reinforced by another launch of sea~ men they again returned tothe attack but were beaten off by a heavy fire. The launches then returned to the cruisers Attempts of governmental officials and the Chief of the General Naval Staff to board the cruisers were sternly rebuffed by the sailors. An hour before daylight the out- break had aroused tremendous excite- ment throughout Callao, which is the port of Lima. The bourgeoisie and its government mobilized bombing planes and the coast artillery units for an attack on the insurgent cruisers, The destroyer and three submarines, whose crews had not been won for the revolt, were also used against Mobilization Plans Revealed in U. S. War Dept. Report By JL. While the pacifists and socialists were going into hysterics over the glories of the Kellogg Peace Pact the Department of War was feverishly at work on a mobilization plan which could set moving the vast machinery of war in a day. ‘The plan ranges from the ordinary drafting of the youth of the coun- try to the getting of the tin metals on the end of the prospective sol- diers’ shoestring. The Daily Worker recently told of how the industry will be mobilized for war. Here we will discuss the mobilization of the soldiers. Most of the material we use is taken from the 1931 report of the Secretary of War. Immediately after the outbreak of war the President will of course use all his powers to create a tight or- ganization to run the country. Workingclass organizations will be suppressed. A military dictatorship will actually rule. Congress will pass a, selective service act even be- fore the first day of the mobiliza- tion. Five thousands local boards thruout the country will start to select men. Men between the ages of 18-45. There are to be no ex- emptions. This is a specific point in the plans of the War Department. But if anyone thinks that by this point the rich will be forced to give up their lives and the lives of their chil- dren they are mistaken. Chief of Staff MacArthur who prepared the report stated quite plainly: “Much has been said on the subject of equalizing the burden of war. All statements on the subject must refer to burdens other than those incident to death and disability, for these can never be equalized.” What does this mean? Another point explains. Deferments will be made on draft (among others) to “those whose importance to the na- tion of the service they are render- ing in civilian life,” Henry Ford Jr. will not go to war. He must watch the workers turn out tanks for mur- der. Henry Murphy Jr., one of those the insurgents. At dawn, several army planes began bombing the insurgent cruisers. The submarines deployed for an attack, and the insurgent ctuisers hoisted the Red Flag and answered the attack. The Bolognesi was damaged three feet above the water line by a tor- pedo fired by one of the submarines and one of its petroleum tanks de- stroyed. The crew then surrendered. The crew of the cruiser Almirante Granz also surrendered. The strong- est revolutionary leadership was aboard the Bolognesi. With the crushing of the mutiny, the government began wholesale arrests of the sailors. Corperal Pozo, who is reported to be an ardent Com- munist and the leader of the revolt, has been imprisoned on San Lorenzo Island, in Callao Harbor, together with other leaders of the revolt. The government has called a court-martial “within 48 hours,” and is threatening who slaved in Ford’s factory and now starves will go to war. But maybe Henry Murphy Jr. figures he will be able to get a job when the slaughter begins. Then let him forget that. He is young. AMUSEMENTS | MAY 14 to execute the leaders, The revolt is the third serious naval revolt during the past year. The two others occurred in the British Navy and in the Chilean Navy. The army needs youth. And after all his going to death will not em- barrass the war machine. The 46 year old man or maybe even woman will take the place at the belt.

The workers went with Mrs, Eisen- berg, of 120 Avenue D, who was starv- ing and had received a dispossess no- tice from the landlord. In order to intimidate the workers, the bureau ruled that the workers stand in line and enter one at a time, The work- ers refused to do this and entered; the bureau in a body. The woman was denied any relief. The workers came down to the street and started a meeting to ex- pose the fake Home Relief Bureau. The cops, seven or éight in number, who were at the Bureau, came down and beat up the workers, arresting six. The six workers, who were mem- ebrs of the Downtown Unemployed Council, were in jail two days be- fore their case came up Saturday be- fore Magistrate Harris in Tombs Court. At the hearing, the workers tried to expose the ways the cops beat them and the language they used, but the magistrate refused to hear their evi- dence. He remarked: “I wouldn't believe any of these defendants. The police had no movtive not to tell the truth, but the defendants did have. I believe these girls are ignorant and half-baked and should be spanked.” The other workers were Joan Reed, 23; Margaret Kane, 26; Louis Brown, and Jack Baxter. Helen Lynch said that she was ashamed to have been born in the United States. The workers, with the exception of Mrs. Eisenberg, were sentenced two .| days, besides the two days that they had already been in jail, or fifty dollars. As they had no money, they had to serve the extra two days. Mrs. Kramer, of the Home Relief Bureau, testified in court that she was doing the best she could under the present conditions.
