Nanlang Ready to Start New War on Soviet Dist. Concentrating Troops for Huge Drive in Ho- | nan, Hupeh and Anhwei Provinces | Send Great Fleet of Bombing Planes to Rain | Death on Revolutionary Worker-Peasant Mass | SHANGHAI, (By Mail) —The preparations of the Nanking butcher | government for a new general offensive aaginst the Chinese Sores Districts | are approaching completion. Chiang Kai-Shek is concentrating all his available forces in the south- ern provinces and the Shanghai area In particular the men of the Nine- teenth Route Army who so heroically defended Shanghai against the Jap- anese are to be used against the Chinese Red Armies. Many of these men have already deserted to the Red Armies following the shameful be- trayal of the Shanghai defense by the Nanking and Canton cliques of the Kuomintang. Apparently Chiang imagines that those who still remain with the Kuomintang forces will fight with the same desperation and heroism against the Red Armies as saginst the Japanese friends ol Chiang. He will find himself in er- ror. Chiang Uses Planes Against Soviets. While Chiang refused to use his military planes against the Japanese, these planes are now being mobilized for the anti-Soviet offensiveys The Kuomin news agency announces that the attack will be made\from various directions and that Chiang himself will command the main column. Chiang will attack in Honan Prov- inces, where the Red Armies have recently won a number of smash- ing victories against his troops. The second army will attack in Hupeh on the left, and the third column will attack on the right in the province of Anwhei. Both Hupeh and An- hwei provinces are now almost wholly controlled by the Chinese Red Ar- mies. Main Red Army of 300,000, The Shanghai newspapers report that the main Red Army which is operating in Honan Province under the direct command of the Central Chinese Soviet Government has now grown to 300,000 men with 150,000 modern rifles. Forty thousand of these rifles were manufactured in the arsenal in Tancheng which is within Soviet territory while the remainder were either captured from the Kuo- mintang troops or handed over to the Reds by deserters from the Kuo- IDENTIFY DEAD FASCIST AS THIEF Italian Ambassador At Funeral (See Editorial) (See Editorial on Page 4) NEW YORK.—Salvatore Arena, @ fascist who was killed on July 4 when shot by accident by a fellow fascist, has been identified as a bandit and murderer by police, of Montreal, Can., through fingerprints and photographs. Arena, the police say, was one of two men sought in connection with the Hochelaga Bank money-car hold up, in which eleven bandits got away with $150,000 after killing one bank messenger and wounding another. Arena was given an impressive fun- eral here by the local fascist organ- izations, with the Italian Ambassa- dor to the United States, the Italian Consul General in New York and many other prominent fascists pres- ent to honor the dead gangster. The Italian Ambassador made a ‘trip! ‘from Washington especially to attend the funeral. At the church, paens of praise were sung over the dead gangster. expensive coffin was then carried to the pier of the S.S, Saturnia by lead- ing fascists, draped in the bloody flag of Italian fascism, and surrounded by a color guard. Fascist militiamen re- ceived the body at the pier with great ceremony. A guard of honor was maintained day and night during the journey to Italy, where the body re- ceived a grand military funeral near Messina. The dead gangster was a member of the Sons of Italy, in addition to the local fascist organization here named after the fascist butcher, Mussolini. The U. S. courts are trying to rail- road Clement Lista, a painter, on the ltrumped-up charge of murdering Arena, although it is clear that the fatal shot was fired by one of Arena’s fascist fellows. Convicted As Bank ‘Embezzler, Takes Seat in Indianz Senate! (By a Worker Correspondent) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 14.—Al- though he had been convicted of bankers’ embezzlement, Senator Rollo MN. Walter, of Lagrange, Republican politician, was permitted to take his reat in the Indiana state senate with- out a protest from any of the other politician members of the senate.

They also agree to maintain a united | front on the question of disarma- ment, thus dooming the Hoover arms cut proposals which are aimed at strengthening Wall St. imperialism at the expense of its rivals. Danger of Inter-Imperialist War The new alliance is very definitely | aimed against the United States. It | clearly shows the tremendous sharp- | ening of the main imperialist rivalry between the United States and Eng- land in the struggle for markets and for & re-division of the world. By this alliance, France comes to the assistance of England on the basis of mutual interests in the move for | cancellation of the war debts to the United States and for resistance to American financial hegemony over Europe. At the same time England supports French military -hegemony over Europe, promoting the anti- Soviet front and perpetuating the infamous Versailles Treaty and Young Plan under which the Ger- man masses have been enslaved, Promotes Anti-Soviet Front, The alliance brings France and England closely together with Ja- pan, France’s military ally, against the Soviet Union. And the imperial- ist powers are desperately striving to direct the new world war against the Soviet Union, making every ef- fort even in the. face of their con- stantly sharpening antagonisms to unite for armed intervention against workers’ Russia. The alliance between France and England can leave no doubt in the minds of the workers as to the near- ness and acuteness of the war dan- ger. Oe Anti-War Shop Gate Meets | CLEVELAND, O., July 14—Gate| meetings at shops engaged in the pro- duction of munitions or which can be converted to war purposes are being held in Cleveland and surrounding ‘territory in preparation for the Aug. First, International Fighting Day Against Imperialist War. Many such meetings are now taking place in the towns of Massilon, Canton, Alliance and Mansfield. * 28 @ Japan Workers Prepare August First The anti-War actions of the revolu- tionary Japanese and Korean workers are daily increasing against the Jap- anese robber war on China and the drive for armed intervention against the Soviet Union. In addition to dem- onstrations, strikes and other anti- war actions, the workers are engaging in direct acts of sabotage against the movement of Japanese troops into Manchuria. Yesterday Lee Ungaku and five other revolutionary Japanese workers were arrested by the police, charged with transporting dynamite in a sail- over the Yala River to block troop movements into Manchuria. The Japanese authorities are carry- ing out mass arrests of revolutionary workers and peasants in an attempt to crush the anti-war resistance of the toiling masses. In spite of the unbridled terror against the working class, extensive preparations are un- der way for demonstrations on August First, International Fighting Day Against Imperalist War. CLO a Strikes, Demonstrations and Collisions WARSAW (By Mail).—Three thou- sand workers of the rubber factory against wage cuts. A number of strikes are also proceeding in the tex- tile factories. The brick kiln workers in Lodz are also on strike and a cen- tral strike committee of 26 members has been elected, PROTEST IMPERIALIST WAR The appeal of the Communist Party for a strike on the first of July against the offensive of the employers was answered strongly, Workers demonstrations took place in several Warsaw districts.

Wins \ Voluntary Departure SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 14.— After a two-year fight by the In- ; |ternational Labor Defense, M. Nishi- mura, militant Japanese worker con- demned by the agents of Secretary of Labor Doak to be deported to fas- cist Japan, where’ imprisonment for \leng years would have awaited him, is now on his way to the Soviet Union. Twice Doak’s agents ordered him deported but the International La- bor Defense kept up the fight, and last fall succeeded in getting him out of Angel Island, where he had been held nearly a year, on bail. On his way from Angel Island he was again arrested by the immigra- tion authorities. Finally, this month the workers’ defense organization won its battle for voluntary depart- ure for Nishimura. Nishimura told an incident of his imprisonment which showed that in spite of all persecution, the workers’ spirit cannot be broken. Over the fourth of July the keepers tried to hold the workers locked up. The heat in the tanks was unbearable, and, under the leadership of milit- ant fighters, the prisoners staged a demonstration within the walls of Angel Island. More than ninety per cent of the workers came out in support of the demand to be allow- ed their usual privileges over the 4th, and the authorities were compelled to grant the demand without reserv- ation, Seize Negro Worker ATLANTA, Ga., July 14.—Because they say they found radical news- papers and Communist literature in his room, police are holding Angelo Herndon, Negro, on suspicion. Hern- don was arrested at the request of Solicitor-General John A. Boykin as he went to the post office to call for his mail. The International Labor Defense is handling his case and calls on all Atlanta workers to fight the police terror. onstration took place in the work- ers’ district, Praga, against wage- cuts, fascism and imperialist war. ‘The police broke up the demonstra- |" tion with great violence and arrest- ed a number of workers. At eleven o'clock a demonstration “also took place on the Dank Square and this demonstration was also broken up by the police. Warsaw is like a town under martial law and police on foot and on horsebaek are every- where. French Anti-War Conference PARIS (By Mail).—An anti-war conference in preparation of August First, International Fighting Day Against Imperialist War, was held in Paris in the Halle Huygens. Dele- gates were present from Paris ang the surrounding countryside. ‘Tite conference was opened by Pierre Semard, secretary of the Paris district committee of ‘the French Communist Party. Comrade Semard stressed the acute danger of war and the necessity of defending the Soviet Union. o 8 6 Support Anti-War Congress RIGA (By Mail).—A group of left- wing authors and other left-wing pub- lic men and women have issued an appeal against imperialist war and in support of the coming international anti-war congress in Geneva. The appeal is signed by Anton Birkert, Peter Birkert, Pavel Rosit and others. Increased Desertions from Bosses’ Army NEW YORK. —Increasing deser- from the U. 8.

Denounce Mobilization _By Spokesman Ch DULUTH, Minn., July 14—Four |members of the countil who revealed |their complete accord with Moore. Produce Photographs, Despite the fact that the Interna- tional Labor Defense proved through photographs and evidence that the Duluth police met the hunger march. ers with machine guns, ready for agtion in a bullet-proof car, with tear gas, riot clubs, an ambulance, a patrol wagon and squad cars, the city council at its meeting on July 11 did not even censure Moore for his ac- tion. “Sniveling” Snively, the mayor, was grotesque in his attempt to defend Commissioner Moore’s action. He called attention to a mob that lynched three innocent Negroes in Duluth more than 10 years ago and attempted to compare the mob with the march to Duluth of toiling farm- ers, their wives and children, Aid Lynchers, The I.

Commissioner Moore, on the other hand, commended the} police for ‘their actions in the St.| | Louis County Farmers Hunger March, | jand when pressed about the tear gas, the bullet proof car, the ambul- ance and the other viciousness dis- played, he tried to pass the buck to the Chief of Police, saying that he was in charge of it, Council Exposed. The city council -chambers were packed to the doors, more than 400 workers cheering their speaker as he exposed the city council members as enemies of the workers and poor farmers in their struggles for relief. When Commissioner Moore de-| clared that the marchers put women and children in the front line of the march, the I. L. D. speaker called him a liar and produced photographs that made Commissioner Moore eat his words. Demand Ouster. After the photographs had been submitted and the speaker reported in detail what the evidence was at the mass public trial that was held to try Commissioner Moore, his re- signation was demanded. Moore only smiled at the demand, but the smiled was wiped off when the LL.D. representative turning to the audi- ence, demanded that those who were in favor of his ousting raise their right hand. A majority of those present dis so, only three of the 400 that were present voting “no,” one of whom was a plainclothes man in the police department. Workers Determined.
