Policy Is’ Clear. “Tavestia” quotes from an article by ‘the whité ‘guatdist, Yablonovski, writing in, “Sevdonia”, published in Riga. Referring to the would-be as- sassin Stern, who attempted to mur- der the Getmian Ambassador in Mos- cow, aif wounding his attache in- stead, Yabiohovaki writes: “Stern's” ‘shots have made a deep impression. “At “the same time these shots represent a new de- parture in the tactics of the Rus-- alan terrorist,:and the political sig- nificance of this change is very simple: Don’t shoot at Bolshevik sparrows.2it is more favorable for us, in every respect more favorable, to changevour target and to aim at foreigners.” | The counter-parts to the Yablon- | ovski’s are found in the white guard- ist organizations working in. the United States, with the complete blessings of the government, Groups In U. §. «Typical of*suth organizations is the Society of Peter the Great, with headquarters in the apartment of der in, the U,S.A.,” Col, Alexander P.

Through the mass pres- Sure of the returned soldiers, Con- gress was forced to recognize that wages during the war had not been properly paid. Congress passed the Adjusted Service Compensation Bill, recognizing the fact that the war veterans should have their pay ad- justed, n 1924, This Compensation Bill amounted to an average of $1,000 due to each war veteran. The betrayal by the American Legion, the opposition of the bank- ers, big industry and their political parties, Republican, Democratic and Socialist, jointly with the opposition of the liberals, helped to defeat the immediate payment in cash of what is commonly known as the “bonus.” Instead of paying this recognized money due, it was adjusted on a basis of a life insurance policy maturing in 1945. It was nicknamed the “tombstone bonus.” The veterans were permitted to borrow a small amount on the policy, paying on it compound interest rates ranging from 6 per cent to 8 per cent, Again in 1930 the mass pressure of the war veterans, forced Congress to permit the veterans to borrow 50 per jcent of the money (about $500. still due them, but again they were forced to pay four and one-half per cent compound interest for borrowing their own money. By 1945 the balance of $500 would be eaten up by the interest leaving only a balance of about $30. For all these years the government has refused to pay this $1,000 and the interest extorted from he war veterans, REPORT CHINA-USSR PACT NANKING, June 10.—An official report circulated here quotes govern- ment officials as stating that they were “prepared to sign a non- agression pact” with the Soyet Union, DAILY WORKER, NEW YOK, SATURL AL, JU ci Ud, 4.2 ES-FISH ANTI-FOREIGN BILL!

AIDS CHIANG WITH AVIATORS To Train Aviators for Butchery of Chinese Masses ‘The United States Government has worked out a plan with its Nanking butcher agents for the training of military aviators for use in the bomb- ing of the revolutionary Chinese worker-peasant masses in the grow- ing Chinese Soviet districts in Central and South China. None of the sev- eral hundred bombing planes, now possessed by the Nanking government, were sent against the Japanese in- vaders of Shanghai. The plan which calls for the send- ing of American former-military avi- ators to China to take charge of an air training school at Hanchow was developed through Edward Howard, United States air attache at Shang- hai, A Nanking dispatch to the New York Evening Post reports that the plan has “the approval of the State Department at Washington”, The group of American aviators will leave the United States soon under the command of Colonel Jowett. The Nanking Government has already be- gun construction of the air field at Hanchow. This step by the Wall Street Gov- ernment is part of the plans of the imperialists for a complete looting and partition” of China among them- selves, for the crushing of the power- ful Chinese Soviet Districts and for armed intervention against the Soy- jet Union. 20,000 Suicides in the U.S. During 1931 NEW YORK.—More than 20,000 persons committed suicide in the Inited States during 1931, according to Dr, Frederick L. Hoffman, writing in the magazine, “Spectator.” Hunger and unemployment drove] the majority of the victims to death, it appears. Sharp increases in the number of suicides are particularly noted in New York. In Brooklyn the suicide rate rose from 13.7 to 15.3 per thousand, while in Manhattan and the Bronx it rose from 27.4 to 38.3 per thousand. | “Where Is Chicken in Every Pot?” Jobless to Demand of Hoover CHICAGO, Ill, June 10.—A mass demonstration of Chicago unemployed workers will appear before the Re- publican Party national convention here, when it meets next Tuesday, and while the Hoover gang is nom- inating him for re-election, these representatives of the hundreds of thousands of hungry jobless will ask Hoover: “What about that chicken in every pot?” “Where is that Hoover Pros- perity?” The demonstration will de- mand unemployment insurance at the expense of the employers and the government, ‘The republican convention js being made a center around which the dis- gusting pacifist propaganda centers, trying to lull the workers into the be- lief that there will be no more war, while the Republican Party war plans drive ruthlessly ahead.
