SHANGHAI, China, July 7—The trial of Paul and Gertrude-Ruegg was finally begun yesterday in Nanking. Paul Ruegg, who was secretary of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secre- tariat, was arrested by British police in June, 1931, and turned over to the Nanking hangmen. ‘The. court was surrounded by armed police as the Nanking govern- ‘ment prepared the demonstrations of Chinese workers against the attempt to legally murder the Rueggs. At- torney Fisher and a Chinese lawyer, Chen Geneva, appeared for the de- fense, but the Nanking Advocate per- mitted them to attend the trial only as visitors. On Hunger Strike. Prior to th eopening of the pro- ceedings, Ruegg filed a written pro- test declaring the Nanking Court non-competent and demanding a Shanghai trial before the normal court. In his protest he announced that the accused refuse to take vol- untary part in the proceedings. Ruegg then refused to answer all questions except those bearing on his protest. He declared himself and his wife were on a hunger strike since July 2 and were prepared to continue until a change of venue was granted to Shanghai. Judge Li Mian declared that de- tision concerning the competence of the court would require several days Qnd requested the accused to break bff the hunger strike in the mean- lime. “Tegal Proceedings of Court.” , Attorney Chen protested that pro- ‘eedings were impossible so as the question of competence was in doubt, ind declared that the authorities Acted illegally in changing the trial © Nanking.

THREE) “ARMS CUT” MEET PLAN NEW LIES Prepare Statement of “Achievements” Squabbling over a suitable state-| ment of “achievements” with which to adjourn, the imperialist war mon- gers at the Geneva “disarmament” conference yesterday interrupted their sham gestures of “arms reduc- tions.” The statement is to be drafted by Sir John Simon, British Foreign Minister. Its aim will be to attempt to disarm the vigilance of the masses and spread the deception that the imperialists are really striving to re- duce the heavy burdens imposed upon the masses for the maintenance of the huge imperialist war ma- chines. In this connection the im- perialists will set another date for their interminable, fruitless confer- ences on disarmament and arms re- duction. Some of the delegations have pro- posed October. The United States delegation has suggested the middle of November, since the advent of the new session could then be used for demagogic maneuvers by the Hoover Hunger and War administration in the approaching elections. On the other hand, if the new session opens in October it is feared that its hypocrisy would be exposed’ before the elections. In the meantime, the Wall Street government is continuing to press for discussions between adjournment and the new session of the Hoover “arms cut” proposals which aim to strengthen Wall Street imperialism at the expense of its rivals. As the Hoover plan has already been re- jected by Japan and is bitterly op- posed by England and France, such discussions would be fruitless, ex- cept for om eae on “A a | MS jing that all county employees go to JAPAN SENDS PLANES; _ PUSH RAILWAY LINE TO SOVIET BORDER Following Call for United Front of Imperialist Bandits to “Crush the Soviet Union” | Answer With Huge Demonstration On August The Japanese continued heavy troop movements yesterday in Northern Manchuria toward the Soviet borders.

Only seven aboard the subma- rine were rescued by a fashing boat. The “Promethee” was under- going her trials at the time it sunk.

Garner, who had announced. that he would agree to modify the “re- lief” bill in line with Hoover's sug- gestion, suddenly thought he couid catch som? votes next November by scoring Hoover at least in words, Public Works Provision—a Fraud. Despite Garner's phrases about. “en- larging the base of relief,” the pro- vision for public works in the bill is an outright fraud. It attempts to mislead the workers into believing that jobs would be given to all those who are starving. If it becomes law with the $300,000,000 for public works retained only a handful will get jobs in the future. It is a maneuver to keep the unemployed workers from fighting for unemployment insurance. Workers Fight for Social Insurance. Hoover, in the meantime, is re- ported to be firmly determined to veto any-“relief” bill containing “ob- jectionable” provisions such as the one he is, striving to defeat. But it is not excluded that he may come to an agreement with Garner to patch up a joint fake relief proposal. The workers are, however, deter- mined to intensify the struggle- for social insurance, Their slogan, in opposition to Hoover's hunger and war policy and to Garner's demagogi¢ and fraudulent attitude, is “Not a cent to the bankers, all funds to the unemployed. workers!” Finleyville Workers .
