International Notes By GEORGE BELL “Th the recent Greek elections to Parliament, the Communists were the third strongest party in Athens, the capital of the country. The Communist Party won masses of workers despite the arrest of Com- munist candidates, the closing of Communist election headquarters and the breaking up of Communist cam- paign meetings. How radical the Ra- dical and Progressive Parties are is indicated by the fact that the Presi- dent of Greece has called upon all parties—with the exception of the Communists, of course—to form a coalition government to “bring the country out of the crisis.” SWEDISH SOLDIERS TEACH THEIR OFFICERS A LESSON During target practices in Boden, Northern Sweden, the infantry offi- cera had one of the targets in the form of a Red Army soldier with the typical Red Army uniform and the Boviet Star. After the shooting was over, the officers found upon inspec- tion that all the targets were riddled with bullet holes with the execption of the Red Army man, who showed not @ single mark. An ominous warn- ing to the bourgeoisie—proletarian soldiers will refuse to slaughter their brothers in the Red Army if driven to war against the Soviet Union. NEW WAVE OF NAZY TERROR— AND WHY Baron von Gayl, Minister of the Interior in the Von Papen Cabinet of Barons, threatened that the com- ing Reichstag elections would be calied off ‘if law and order did not prevail.” Now that Hitler and his face a certain defeat in the elections they are launching a new murder and terror campaign—for a prohibition of the elections might be very welcome to them now, with their party's ranks weakening. DISRUPTION OF THE GERMAN NAZIS The factory nucleus of the Nazis in thé Jagenberg Machine Works in Duesseldorf ‘has been dissolved for criticizing the factory's manage- ment and making wage demands. The former Nazi workers stated in @ Meeting of the plant’s workers that they would line up with their fellow- workers in resisting any wage cut with an immediate strike. They sent two delegates to the Unity Com- mittee organized by the Communists. The Nazi organization in Inster- burg, East Prussia, has been dis- solved for having rebelled against Hitier’s dictatorship. In the Barmbeck district of Ham- burg 13 storm troop members, who protested agcinst Hitler's roalition negotiations and ageinst the blind obedience demanded of them, were © expelléd from the Nazi Party. Twen- ty-five members resigned from an- other siorm troop. The sailors’ storm division in Hamburg-Ependorf has Jost nicte ‘than half its membership during the past two weeks. The di- Vision's strength has dropped from 128 to 60 men.

RS, FATHER JAILED FOR YOUNG PIONEER’S PROPAGANDA A worker in Kempten, Bavaria, has betn sentenced to six weeks in jail because his child distributed copies of the Youre Pioneers’ paper, the “Trommei” (The Drum), in her school. The latest trick of Faccist Bavaria is to jail the parent for his ehild’s révolutionary activity. NORMAN THOMAS’ TEACHERS In 1919 the German Social Demo- crats issued a sensational appeal for “industrial democracy” and “social- {ration of key industries.” This was done solely to divert the workers from joining the Communists in over- throwing the “Socialist” government. In 1932, the same swindle reappears. ‘The front pages of all Social Demo- sratic papers carry the same old : brought down from the at- tie: “Socialization is on the March!” Again ‘their only aim sg!

Va., Oct. 14. The Monongalia County Grand. Jury has indicted two striking coal min- ers Orloff and Opeck, for murder. The coal operators are making an attempt to railroad these two men to death because of the rank and file resist- ance to an attack by mine guards in |e United Mine Workers strike earlier this year, in which a company guard {was killed. The strike, against a wage cut, was forced on the U.M.W. A. by: the miners themselves, who re- sorted to mass picketing of the mines around Morgantown, W. Va. At the time of the arrest, the In- ternational Labor Defense prevented an immediate rushing of the two arrested men to an immediate trial and speedy sentence. Even now, the case comes into court tomorrow, and the I.L.D. will demand at least three months’ postponement’ to properly prepare their defense. Come to Their Support! Local unions, Russian and Croatian fraternal organizations, and all other worker groups are urged to rally im- mediate support for Orloff and Opeck. Adopt resolutions demand- ing their freedom, and rush these to Judge Baker, Morgantown, West Va.

Socony Goes Stagger Plan With Wage Cut; Professors Praise It NEW YORK—The Hoover stagger plan, with a wage cut, was ordered into effect November 1 by the Socony Vacuum Corporation (Stendard Oil). Herbert L. Pratt, chairman of the board, announced yesterday that all 30,000 of its employes would go on the five-day week, with corresponding wage cut. He did not even promise to take on’any new employes. Simultaneously, a group of college economists, including Paul Brissen- den, Clark, Commons, Ely, Irving Fisher and others, published a state- ment lauding this move. « Sign up for National Daily Worker Tag Days, Oct. 14, 15, 16.

KAGANOVITCH, BOLSHEVIK LEADER, EXPOSES PRO-BOSS ACTS OF EXPELLED GROUP “Little Group of Decayed Remnants of the| Defeated Trotzkyites and the Right Opposition,” He Declares Made Before Moscow Committee On October 8th | (Cable by Imprecorr.) MOSCOW, Oct. 14—In connection with the decision of the Central Control Commission regarding the expulsion from the Communist Party of & group of participants in counter-revolutionary activities, it is extreme- | interesting to mention a passage of the report delivered by Comrade | Kaganovitch, secretary of the Moscow Party Committee and member of the | ‘®Political Bureau of the Communist) Party, on October 8th, at the Plen- um of the Moscow Party Committee. In this report Comrade Kagano- vitch referred to the undermining], treacherous activities of elements from the camp of the right and “left” | opportunists. He reviewed the pres- ent situation and remarked that so- cialist construction without difficul- ties is impossible, adding that “peo- ple exist who moan over these diff- culties,” Advance of Socialist Construction. ‘He recalled how ten years ago Lenin surveyed a map of the Soviet | Union indicating many areas where} patriarchal production still existed, | and pointed out that ten years later | these very same areas are with Soviet farms, collective farms, machine tractor stations, etc. Against the background of this enormous advance of the socialist construction we find, said Kagano- vitch, people from the Trotskyist and right opposition camp who in this very year 1932 propose nothing more or less than to give away to ca- pitalists as concessions the factories and collective farms constructed with the ceaseless labor of the workers and peasants. “They propose to dissolve the state and collective farms in order to re- establish the position of the kulaks (rich farmers). They propose to in- crease the dependence of the Soviet Union on the capitalist world be- eause, they say, the fight for econo- mic independence is futile. ¥ “T am ‘Kaganovitch pro- ceeded—of people formerly belonging to the Trotskyist or right opposition camp, Among them there are two categories. One is made up of ele- ments who honestly cut all connec- tions with the past and are sincerely striving to lead the active work for the line of the Party. The other category is made up of those who returned with the intention to await “better” times, who came with a stone in their pocket and exploited the smallest possibilities to renew | their treacherous fight against the Party, a figat which has assumed a clearly counter-revolutionary character.” Party Will Tread Path of Si Kaganoviteh pointed out that gentlemen are preaching the direct restoration of capitalism and added: “There is no need to enter into a dis- cussion with this miserable little group of decayed remnants of the Trotskyist and right opportunist op- position. These people must be simp- ly out of our Leninist Party along with those who take a concil- iatory attitude toward the enemies giving shelter and helping them.” The great Leninist Party will iy tread the path of struggle, will rally even Closer around the Central Com- mittee, around the staunch leader and teacher, Stalin,” declared Kaga- novitch who at this point was greeted with a prolonged applause. The Mos- cow organizations of the bolsheviks whieh has given example many titnes of unrelenting struggle against the open enemies of the Party stands closer than ever around the Central Committee, ready to fight to the end for its line, for its decisions, for the full vietory of socialism, Farmers Organize in Kingood Township (By a Worker Correspondent) FRENCHTOWN, N. J.—The faym- ers of Kin, Township, N. J,, and Tinicum, Pa. packed the Fairview School on Oct. 11 in Kingood Town- ship in answer to the call of the provisional committee of action. John Hermann, agazine writer, described the situstion in the Iowa strike region and the surrounding states, ang peinted out thet gains were made only by rank and TASS action.

Great Director Meyerhold | By MYRA PAGE (Our European Correspondent) MOSCOW, U. S. 8S. R.—Twelve members of the Negro film group who | went to Moscow in the spring at the invitation of the Mexhrabpom Film Company, left on September 22, for a month’s study of the national min- ority groups in the Tashkent region, poems, and a novel of Negro life, “Not Without Laughter,” accompanied the group as special correspondent of @ the “Tgvestia,” Moscow daily, and planned to remain for a three Months stay of the darker races in the Soviet Union. On the day he left for Tashkent, a Russian tran- slation of Hughes’ novel was released ‘and placed in hundreds of Moscow hops, Other members of the group going into Tashkent were Loren Miller, California newspaperman; Louise Thompson, secretary of the group; Alan McKenzie, organizer of the Friends of the Soviet Union; Matt Crawford, Mildred Jones, Constance White, Mollie Lewis, Dorothy West, Kathryn Jenkins, George Sample and Juanita Lewis. Denounce Moon-Poston Statements All these members of the film group branded as lies the vicious statements issued by Henry, Lee Moon, Theodore Poston, McNairy Lewis and Lawrence Alberga. These four wrote to various newspapers, that the reason for the suspension of the film was that the Soviet Union “did not wish to jeopardize chances for recognition by America.” “The scenario for the film was not satisfactory, and by the time it was ‘rewriten, it Was too late in the sea- son to do outdoor filming,” said Louise Thompson, secretary of the group, when interviewed in Moscow recently. “We know that the workers in the Soviet Union are helping the fight of the Negro masses for social, political and economic equality. Their persistent: struggle for the defense of the Scottsboro boys is only one proof that they are not dominated by any such opportunities aims as Moon and Poston ascribe to them.” Homer @mith In Postal Service Five members of the group were unable to make the tour to Tash- kent because they were working and could not leave their jobs. Homer Smith, for ten years a postal worker in the U. S. Postal Department, is now special consultant in the ration- @lization department of the Soviet Union postal system, After helping to perfect the Moscow postal service, he will be sent into the remotest towns and villages of the Soviet Unien to help speed mail service. When asked how he liked working in: the Soviet Union, Smith smiled broadly. “‘There’s a fundamental dif- ference between working here and in capitalist countries,” he said. “Here I have the comradeship of the work- ers. The workers are friendly with each other; they feel enthusiasm for their work, they take active part in the planning of the work. All this is @ wonderful experience. For me, as a Negro worker, it is like being released from a straight-jacket. Here, for the first time in my life, I know my color is not a handicap.” “Happy to Study with Meyerhold” Wayland Rudd, Negro actor, was rehéarsing his part in Othello, in the Meyerheld Theater. “I certainly am happy to be able to stay in Moscow and study with Meyerhold, one of the greatest directors in the world,” he st aid Sylvia Garner and Juanita Lewis have engagements to sing over the radio.

S. and France Ship| Arms for Japan War French exports of arms and ammu- nitions during the first eight months of this year reached the value of | 124,857,000 francs, which is 66,281,000 | francs above the. value of exports | during the corresponding eight | months of last year, a dispatch! from Paris declared yesterday. | The dispatch indicated that while as @ result of the economic crisis the total French exports declined b 40 per cent, French imperialism i: leading in the war ovreparations against the Soviet Union and is financing the war activities of Jap- anese imperialism against China. Exports to Japan Increase Of the total French exports, those to Japan are the only ones which continue to increase, according to the above-mentioned dispatch, quoting an official statement. The increased French exporte to Japan cover a range of commodities useful in war, but do not inelude exports of arms and ammunitions. Such exports are not listed in the official statement just issued. It is interesting, however, that while the total value of the exports of arms and ammunitions is given in he statentent as amounting to nearly 125,000,000 francs, a check of the individual figures listed in the state- | ment gives a total of only 104,000,000 | francs. tI is clear that the difference of 21,000,000 francs represents the ex~- ports of arms and ammunitions to | Japan, which the French government tries to hide by listing only the ex- ports of arms and ammunitions to the vassals of French imperialism, These are also important, howeve: as they reveal how French imperial. | ism, while supporting Japan’s war on China and .its provocatory activity against the Soviet Union, is unceas- ingly aiding the anti-soviet prepara- | tions of its Polish, Rumanan, Yugo- Slavian allies. U, S. Sends Arms United States imperialism has also, been sending arms and ammunitions to Japan, as the Daily Worker has pointed out time and again’ The conflict between United States and Japanese imperialism on the share of the booty did not prevent United States imperialism from supporting with arms and ammunitions the par- tition of China by Japan and the Japanese provocatory activity in Manchuria against the Soviet Union. The same Paris dispatch indicates that the Japanese government is trying to get some financial assis- | tance in Paris and in New York, so as to be able to foster its ambitions in Manehuria.

We were going to a meeting which had been called by the Unemployed Council. As we passed opposite the relief station, a plainsclothes police officer with a stick said to my friend, who had a hat on: ‘Your hat won't Jook good when you get up to the corner.’ At the corner of 16th and String Sis, I saw three uniformed officers. I turned west on 16th St., and about half a block west of String St. on 16th St. a crowd had con- gregated. “After I had been standing at this place for about five minutes, the crowd gathered around a speaker who mounted on the wall on the north side of the street, After he had been speaking for about five minutes, @ woman took the stand.

At this moment I was hit over the head and was s0 dazed and dizzy that I could get no clear picture of any further inci- dents.

I saw that the police were still attacking thé crowd, and saw the crowd move back and forth, but my condition was such that I couldn't tell what was hap- pening.

Jardella at 16th and Christian Sts. The meeting pro- ceeded thus: Jardella, “Well what the hell do you bums want here in my office?” Workers, “We are here to protest against the brutal measures which you are using against this worker, the father of seven children, whose wife was released from the hospital only a short time ago.” Jardella: “I don’t give a damn about | this family, and they are going to be thrown into the street if I have to call out the army, navy and police to put them out.” Workers: “This is just what we | expected to hear and we are going to do all we can to protect this wotker from being thrown into the street.” The committee then returned to the home of the worker and waited for the return of the constable. He did not return on this day. Cops Break into House | The committee was called to an- other worker's home to meet the constable.
