International Notes By PETER HENRY. BIG DEMONSTRATION OF GREEK RECRUITS, ATHENS, Greece (By Mail). Thousands of recruits of the 1932 class have been called up and drawn in to Patras (Pelloponesia). When they arrived here they were informed that the muster had been postponed for a few days and they were told money to return home and no money to take themselves off. Having no to buy food or obtain lodgings they hung around the barracks and soon began to organize noisy demonstra- tions demanding food and quarters. Collisions occurred during which one of the recruits was killed by Colonel Paleologos. A huge demonstration of thousands of recruits supported by the local working class organizations then took place through the town and an attempt was made to storm the headquarters of the army corps in Patras. The corps commander Politis made concessions to the recru- its and promised the arrest of the murderer Paleologos. However, up to the present this arrest has not been carried out. With 1,500,000 tons annual capaci- ty, Zaporozhstal, the group of blast furnaces being erected on the Dnie- per River almost directly opposite Dnieprostroi, will rank with the best. in the wdrid, according to George ‘ Churchill, consulting engineer of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. of Pittsburgh, in charge of designing at the plant. i: Churchill expressed confidence that during the next 18 months con- struction would be pushed to success- ful completion comparable with that of the power plant on the opposite bank. ‘The Zaporozhstal* plant will com- prise 12 blast furnaces, each with a daily output of 800 tons. The iron ore will be transported on electric railroads from Kriyoi Rog. while the same roads will serve the Donbas coal basin, fuel source for the coke ovens. BRITAIN COMMITS ECONOMIC SUICIDE Forced by political considerations —the threat of the Dominions break- ing away from the Empire and the Die-Hard Tories’ violent hatred of the Soviet Union—great Britain has abrogated the Soviet-British trade agreement, The paralyzing effect this will have on British industry is illustrated by the following figures of British machinery exports in 1931. The Soviet Union was Britain's largest customer for the following British exports: 88 per cent of its tungsten steel, 70 per cent of its threshing machines, 54 per cent of its compressors, 84 per cent of its internal-combustion engines, 82 per cent of its lathes, 90 per cent of its flour milling equipment, 81 per cent of its molding equipment, 79 per cent of its ‘steam engines, 84 per cent of its drilling equipment and 75 per cent of its grinders, 40 per cent of its total generator exports, and so forth. The list can be continued in- definitely, The National government has dealt a death blow to Britain's entire steel and machinery industry, cutting off its nose to spite its face. Mach nald may compliment himself on i. \ine thrown tens of thousands of the highest skilled workers in Great Britain ouf of work. This is how MacDonald and Co. are solving the British unemployment problem. BE A STOOL-PIGEON OR BE FINED The Bengal Government has noti- fied the inhabitants of the Chitta- gong area, scene of recent attacks upon British officials, that a fine of 80,000 rupees ($20,000) is imposed on the residents of Chittagong, the in- habitants of the Pahartali railway colony, ahd on seven heighboring vil- Jages. because information is being withheld about the “terrorists” in the Chittagong area. . Tie British officials believe that many so-called “terrorist crimes” in Chittagong would not have been pos- sible’ unless many residents had knowledge of them and were sympa- thetic. The Indian Be vaiplonbty Party, members of which are involved in the Chittagong affair, is on the wrong treci when it trys to force Indian independence through indi- vidual terror and assassination. Only mass action of the suppressed work- ers and peasants of India will achieve i[freedom for India, Mass fines and oppression of the subject Hindus is the Socialist MacDonald's answer to Indian efforts to achieve indepen- dence. 3 Nevetheless, MacDonald's efforts to suppress this movement by pun- ishing all the inhabitants of a re- gion will only serve to make the flame of the fight for freedom surge éven higher, with the masses enter- ing the struggle. MASS ACTION WINS IN ENGLAND As @ result of huge mass demon- strations, the unemployed of South- ampton and Edinburgh won signifi- victories. In Southampton the ‘delegation to the Lord Mayor was packed by a demonstration 6,000 strong. The mayor asked the delega- tion to postpone the decision to a hater date, but they replied: “The de- ‘cisive fact to be faced by the City Council is that 6,000 demonstrators front of the City Hall. We ‘ e that all other matters must tabled to discuss our demands.” ‘This forced the Cyne Mises a supplementary relief of 2 es during the winter months as lwell as to order the starting of new emergency public works. A great demonstration in Edin- ‘argh forced the Welfare Council =* raise the relief rate 114 shillings “ering the winter months. These examples effectively dispose of the Socialist lie that nothing fs “gained by demonstrations. Only through mass pressure can city gov- ernments be forced to ade- quate relief for the unemployed! EMB DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOV ER £2, 1932 Growing Crisis Leads to Debt Default Move By European Governments Britain, France Ask for Postponement; Greek, Hungarians Default Increased Rivalries Between Powers Sharpens War Danger WASHINGTON, Nov. 11—A note “suggesting” postponemett of the war debt installment due on December 15th, was delivered yesterday to Secretary of State Stimson by the British Ambassador, according to authori- tative reports. The note further suggests a new settlement of the war debt. While one capitalist government after another defaults on its debt pay- ments the Soviet government regu-@ Jarly meets all its obligations. Despite the utmost official secrecy it was learned here that a similar note is expected from the French government and that governmental circles fear a united front of the European debtors on this issue. Although it is stated that the note delivered by Ambassador Lindsay, declares that the British Governnient does not intend to default on the next installment of the war debt, it is indicated that such default may ensue “technically” from the refusal of the United States government to act upon the note. Governments Default. Secretary Mills, of the Treasury De- partment, informed that the Greek government failed to pay $444,920 re- presenting the current installment on its debt and that the, Hungarian government officially notified the sec- retary of state that it does not have the necessary foreign exchange with which to make its payment to the United States government on Decem- ber 15th, The Polish, Estonian and Latvian governments already availed them- selves of their option, under the terms of the moratorium which ex- pired last July, to postpone payment of the principal amount of the war debt for two years, Many Baltic governments virtually defaulted on their payments or are about to do so. Soviets Meet All Debts. At the same time the Soviet gov- ernment already sent here between $4,000,000 "and $5,000,000 as a final payment on its 1929 order of farm equipment and part-payment on its 1930 order of tractors. A balance of about $2,500,000 is due to the Inter- national Harvester of Chicago in the autumn of 1933. Sharpening Economic Crisis. The secretary of state refused to “be quoted” on the note of the Brit- ish government. It is held that he plans to refer the note to President Hoover. Generally it is believed that the British note on the war debt in- dicates the sharpening of the eco- nomic chaos existing in the capitalist world, Commenting upon the war deDt problem officially brought to the fore by the note of the British govern- ment, Senator Borah stated that he favors a new settlement provided the European governments “disarm”. He then indicated that the United States government will continue to utilize the war debt as a weapon to foster Hoover's disarmament plan clearly designated to disarm United States’ rivals, Increase Arms for War. In the meantime, however, governments wrestling with all the problem of paying or collecting war debts, continue their race for new armaments, While refusing to spehd a cent to ‘relieve the starving work- ers and help the war veterans, United States imperialism spends 197 per cent more for armaments than in 1913-31, the Japanese government 142 per cent, the British government 42, the French government 30 per cent, the Italian government 44 per cent, etc. ADMIT GROWTH OF WAR MOVES “YU, §. Officials Specu- late On It In Private” Significant admissions on the de- veloping war situation arising out of the drive of the imperialist toward war as a capitalist “way out” of the crisis (at the expense of the toiling masses and the Soviet Union) were made in capitalist circles yesterday. Private Speculation on War Reporting Washington official op-| inion, Paul Mallon, Washington cor- respondent of the Newark Ledger, writes his paper: ‘ “It is no exaggeration to say there may be war in Europe before spring. “Our officials do not want to talk about such a thing in public, They are all speculating on it in private.” General MacArthur, U. S. Chief of Staff, who personally commanded the army in the murderous attack, or- dered by Hoover, on the ‘Bonus March- and their families, is now in Europe. The Czech bourgeois press has not hesitated to report thta he is in Europe of organizing the im- Perialist war of intervention against the Soviet Union. Professor Andre Phillip 0 fthe Uni- versity of Lyons, France, also ad- mitted that the peoples of the world are on the brink of a new imperialist world slaughter. U. S. Will Be in It Jules. Sauerwein, foreign editor of the Paris Soir, speaking before the Princeton School of Public and In- ternational Affairs, declared that "if @ new war breaks out in Europe, the United States could no more keep out of it than it could protect itself from “the consequences of the world-wide economic breakdown” of capitalism. In the meantime the imperialist wars in the Far East and in South Am- erica are continuing unabated.

The children’s delegation will storm the Capitol at Washington with the militant demands for im- mediate and adequate relief from starvation, etc. While misery is increasing in the “richest country of the world,” and hundreds of thousands of children suffer hunger which unmercilessly undermines their health, it may be recalled that in the opinion of a group of physicians who visited var- ious countries abroad the best nour- ished children of all Europe are to be found n Russia.

MOSCOW.—The Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union has decided to reduce the taxes paid by home workers and hand-workers or artisans. Those home and hand workers or- ganized in cartels are to be treated with regard to taxation exactly as workers and commercial employees. Reductions have also been decided. upon for those home and hand work- ers who employ no wage labor. EXPOSE DEMOCRATS PHOENIX, Ariz.—Several hundred. workets came to attend a Commu- nist, Party election rally, and found the’ democrats already: in possession of the meeting. When James Carr, one of the workers, began to ask questions, ‘exposing conditions in the mines, the capitalist politicians be- came enraged and left, followed by Jeers of the workers.

So he wanted to keep me from get- ting aid from any other doctor. After the examination he told me: “It the baby gets worse take her to the county hospital.” Eleven o'clock that night the baby got so sick she looked as though she was dead so we took her again to the Hospital. Thad to pass St. Lukes Hospital on the way, and stopped in because the county hospital had already refused us. The attendant refused to haye anything to do with us. At the coun- ty hospital we got treated just like dogs; the attendant ordered us to leave as they did not have room. There we were, with our sick baby, refused by two hospitals at midnight. Disgusted I phoned the doctor, and he told me to bring the baby to St. Luke's next day. Wasn’t that nice of him? My baby could have died by then. . At St. Luke's the attendant tried to run us off again, but my wife in- sisted the doctor told her to come. ‘The attendant called the doctor down. and after he argued and pleaded that the baby was very bad, they made room for her, It 1s four days now that my baby ids in the hospital and they do not know what is wrong, she is about the same. —Worker Correspondent.’ ent ell Chats with Our Worcorrs Because of increased unemploy- ment and low wage standards, many workers throughout th ecountry are forced to go to public hospitals and charity institutions for treatment of illness. The jails are crowded with prisoners, railroadeq by the author- ities to get rid of them. Letters from workers all over the country are coming in increasing numbers, exposing the rable treatment received in jails where they were thrown for the crime of de- manding their right to live, and in the hospitals where they are helpless to battle against the callous brutality. These institutions are mainfanied by the capitalists in order to raise in the workers the illusion that the capitalist system {s humanitarian. The worker correspondents are tear- ing off this mask, when they expose the conditions from inside. But just to write to the Daily Worker is not enough. Workers must do everything possible to strengthen the working class mutual aid organ- ization, the International Workers Or- der, which provides medical treat- ment for workers. The jailed work- ers must follow the example of the Baltimore prisoners and by combined effort, gain some improvement wiile inside, and strengthen the Unemploy- ed Councils when they get out. Particularly should they become ac- tive in the preparation for the na- tional hunger march on Washington. YWCA EXPLOITS WOMEN WORKERS Forced Labor for “Free” Rooms NEW YORK—The YWCA is sup- posed to be a charitable place, where working women and girls come for aid. ‘The Y’s are tax exempt as char- ity organizations; yet they charge $5 to $8 a doom with two meals. The meals probably cost less than ten cents together. The showers and toilets are not kept any too clean. There are 3 or 4 women and two men to do all the work and it is too much for them to handle. Forced Labor On the doors of the rooms are the names of rich people who have “bought” the rooms for 50 years or so. This is supposed to mean that any unemployed working woman can live there. But can one? No! If you cannot pay your bill for two weeks, you are “given” a job as maid. This job rarely lasts, as not every girl can do the type of work required. Then no one knows what happens to @ girl when she is evicted. If a girl is desperate enough from fear of renewed suffering, one of the officials, a degenerate, may cast her favor upon her. This woman is known to the donors of the place, but still they let her remain in con- tact with many young inexperienced girls. Where does the money go that these people collect? Certainly the Y is self-supporting. It must go to graft; to the heads who rarely look like they are ill-fed or sick. ~ Demand Better Conditions So long as we girls permit these people to get away with it, just so Jong will they do it, If we fight to- gether and elect committees to de- mand better conditions in these places, we will win them.

Laura Moyer, an aged woman, was thrown out from her home and taken several miles into the wildreness where she was left in an old dug-out. Upon the threat of the Unemployed Coun- cil that photos of the windowless shack should be made public the sheriff was ordered to put windows in. The dugout Is about 5% feet high and has no floor, Recent storms washed the gravel over her few be- longings and it was necessary to make a trench to carry out the water Mud was a few inches deep. The Unemployed Council found, after the repairs had been made, one tiny window in the lower part of the house, the other openings having been boarded up. Instead of a roof there was a coy- ering of a poor grade of shiplap nailed to fir poles, Even tar paper was lacking. WORKER WRITES ON CALIF.

Ford, first Negro candidate for Vice-Presi- dent, of the U. 8. A, retu to New York at the end of a r | campaign tour, expressed the opinion that “the elections this year marked a gupat step forward in the struggle for Negro liberation.” He declared “Although it is still to ly to know the complete results, it is cer- tain that the Negro and white can- of the Communist Party polled a vote that is a tremendous increase over the votes of our Party in the last four years. “The Negro candidates of the Party, of whom three were many, polled many votes. William L. Pat- terson, running for mayor of New York, got 24,222 votes. Henry Shep- ard, Communist candidate for Lieu- ate, got 25,381 votes in New York City. “For the first time in the history of the country, a Negro candidate appeared on a national ticket. Foster and Ford were on the ballot in 38 states, many of them in the heart of | the South, Communist meetings in the South smashed through Jim- Crow laws and customs. “Hundreds of thousands of Negroes broke away from their traditional al- legiance to the Republican Party. Many of them were—for the time being—fooled 4y the fake promises of the Democrats and Socialists. But many thousands voted for the Com- munist Party, which boldly raised the demands: Equal rights for Ne- groes, self-determination for the lack Belt. “The Communist Party has shown that not only during the election per- jods, but every month in the year, every hour in the day, it fights for complete economic, political and so- cial equality, and for the right of self determination for the Black Belt. The struggle of the Communists for equai rights for Negroes goes on ceaselessly.

Not content with the seizure of Manchuria and the waging of a war of extermination against the Man- eburian n » Japanese imperinl- ism is rapidly perfecting its plans for the military penetration of North China. The Chinese newspapers report that the Nanking regime is very anxious to avpid military collisions ‘in the province of Shantung, as this would bring it into conflict with the aims of Japanese imperialism and would interfere with its present cam- paign against the Chinese Soviet Republic in Central China, “The struggle against militarism must not be postponed until the moment when war breaks out.
