a HELP IN THE HUNGER MARCH TAG D DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1932 Page Three International Notes. | By PETER HENRY IMPERIALIST MURDERS IN MADAGASCAR. ‘The International Red Aid and Comrade Montjau, French deputy, received the following telegram from | Madagascar: “Tananarivo, Madagzscar: Taking advantage of Chamber recess, the government, under pretext of pro- secuting International Red Aid un- der laws already repealed, has pro- claimed state of siege. Communica- tions abroad cut off, “Aurore” iso- lated, police enforcing boycott of friendly shopkeepers. Rainisedy murderer of Palaihova, acquitted; Dauphin, murderer of Rakotamavo, fined 100 francs. Protest infernal regime, utmost illegality. (Signed) “Aurore”. This telegram from the “Aurore Malgache”, Madagascar newspaper, discloses the gravity of the situation in that French colony off the East coast of Africa. A Madagascar Negro, Rapaoly, was sentenced for failing to pay his taxes. He was summoned to the tax office and never left the office alive. Dauphin, a government official Kicked the truck-driver Rakotomavo tn the abdomen, killing him, only because this native djd not present his identification card to the imper- lalist agent quickly enough. Herriot, the French Prime Minister, has placed 400 Madagascar Negroes on trial—under a law that is no lon- ger in force—for alleged membership in the International Labor Defense. The reason for this persecution is that the Madagascar I. L. D. has taken up the defense of the Mada- gascar victims of French imperial- Ism’s bloody dictatorship. All cor- respondence with Paris has been de- hnied them, all letters and newspap- ers being confiscated by the post of- fice officials. Less than a year ago, the French bourgeoisie closed the vast Colonial Exposition in Paris, designed to shor to the world the “civilizing effect: of French imperialism. Native colo- nials were imported from Indo-Chi- ha, Morocco, the Sahara, and Mada- gascar to exhibit native life to the Parisians. Less than a year after this exposition, the French are try- ing to suppress a revolt of the na- fives in Morocco, and the telegram printed above sheds sudden light on (ne barbarous oppression in another French possession, an island that ts practically never in the world’s news. “France, the mother of civilization”, es the French bourgecisie likes to call ft, ranks with the worst imperialist txploiters of colonial peoples. The workers of France, and the American workers with them, must defend their Madagascar brothers from murder ‘and extermination. Protest to the French Embassy in Washington and to the French Consul-General in New York against this ne ‘woppression! os FRENCH SOCIALIST WORKS WITH PARIS CHIEF OF POLICE. Despite denials of “Populaire”, the Paris socialist daily, our Paris Com- munist organ, “l’Humanite”, is able to print facsimile proofs that. Gilbert € Rougerie, writer for “Populaire”, is \} plso a staff-writer for “Detective”, YY the criminalist magazine that is the unofficial organ of Chiappe, the Paris Chief of Police. In “Populaire” Rou- gerie pretends to be a friend of the working class. In “Detective” he writes on the Paris police methods of suppressing demonstrations, on crime detection, and against the am- nesty for political prisoners. Which is the true face of the doub- Je-faced social-fascist, the pretended ddvocates of working-class interests or the lackeys of the brutal police? Ck sia 8 | GENERAL STRIKE IN SPAIN. ALMERIA, Spain (By Mail). — In protest against the abolition of un- employment relief the workers of Al- meria went out on general strike on October 27. Thousands of strikers and unemployed demonstrated in the morning in front of the City Hall, forcing the City Council to resign. This united front of employed and unemployed workers is of the great- est significance, a fine example of solidarity worth imitating. The small shopkeeprs of Almeria have: closed their stores in sympathy with the trikers. The republican-socialist overnment of Spain has sent re-in- forcements of militia. to Almeria. at is the only -socialist solution for the unemployment problem, when they really have to face it—troops and machine guns; Hoan in Mil- waukee, MacDonald in England, Nos- ke in Germany and now Azana in Spain . reece CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY IN GERMANY. HAMBURG (By Mail).—On the eve of the German elections, the So- citlist Chief of Police of Hamburg, Schoenfelder, arrested 200° Commu- nists, roped off whole streets in the working-class districts, and had hundreds of policemen search every flat for revolvers, rifles and other arms. The National-Socialisis (Hitlerite Fascists) issued a forged document purporting to be instructions of the Communist International to the German Communist Party for an armed uprising on November 15. This razen election maneuver failed to ve any effect, as the results of the ‘ovember 6th election showed.

The Ecuadorean Congress is in secret session working out plans to join Colombia in the war with Peru. The Colombian govern- ment has sent Dr, Jorge Gaitan by airplane to Quito, capital of Ecuador, to discuss plans for a joint campaign against Peru. South American dis- patches report the discovery of rich oil deposits in the Leticia region where Colombian and Peruvian forces are now fighting. More than 500 Bolovian soldiers and five petty officers were killed yes- terday in a fierce battle between Pa- raguayan and Bolivian troops around Fort Saavedra, in the Chaco region. Eighty Bolivian soldiers were taken prisoners. The small percentage of prisoners is in line with the expressed policy of the two governments to take as few prisoners as possible in order to cut the cost of maintaining prisoners of war. In a conference last week of “neu- trals” with representatives of Bolivia and Paraguay, the Bolivian delegate opposed the Paraguayan demand that Bolivia defray the cost of maintain- ing the large number of Bolivian sol- diers previously captured by the Pa- raguayans in their victorious advance in the Gran Chaco. He declared that a government which could not feed its prisoners of war should not take prisoners. N. Y. VETS OPEN RECRUIT CENTERS Speed Bonus Barech. Preparations (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) elected at Sunday’s conference has al- ready begun to function, with most of the work being carried on through an Executive Committee of seven and four subcommittees: finance, com- missary, organization and publicity.

M. W. A. Officials for Strike Activity EVERETTSVILLE, W. Va—On or about July 5 there was a strike called at the New Engand Fuel and Transportation Co. by the U. M. W. A. leaders, I knew we could not win the strike because the leaders were only thinking of their own interests and not of the working man. But I was in sympathy with the working man might better the conditions some as we were working 18 hours a day and couldn’t make a living. On the second day of the strike a meeting was called at Loweville, W. Va., and Tony Teti, a representative of the U, M. W. A., was in charge. I went to him and asked him how we were going to live as we were al- reading working day and night and couldn't make a living and how could we live while on strike? The answer he gave me in the presence of 250 men was for us not to sleep at night, but to go out and rob farm- ers’ orchards and to rob stores. That was the way we were instructed to win the strike. Then, on July 25, I was in a dis- order. My Friend, Sam Opeck, and I were attacked by two mine guards that protect the company's business against the working class, “commonly called strike-breakers.” They stopped us on the road and tried to fight, and in the trouble one of them lost his life, and as a result my friend and I have been in the Monougalice County jail since that time. I am sorry we had the trouble, as we were not backed by the right kind of lead- ers, The union leaders protect the coal operators more than they ao the miners. We have remained in jail three months and none of the officials ever came to us to let us know who was to protect us, the company or the union. We would still like to live in this world, My friends then re~ ferred my case to the I, L, D, and they immediately came to see me and spent two days investigating my case and won a postponement of my trial date to Nov, 21, 1932. The next day the United Mine Workers’ lawyer, Eugene Long, came to me in jail and said they would not protect me because the I. L. D. came here to me. How could the U. M: W. A. protect me when they couldn't protect my wife and two children. The last strike they had they caused lots of poor people to go to jail and some of them are still there as a result of it. They get people in trouble and then forget all about them. There are lots of people in the union, but they belong in name only, as they don’t have any faith in it any more. This is how the U. M, W. A. protects the laboring man.

MARIE, Mich—One of our comrades lives near the out- skirts of this town, and on the night of Oct. 17 the Ku Klux Klan posted up a leaflet near his home.

First I must inform the readers that this is the first time in the his- tory of Peoria that a meeting of this kind could not be broken up by the police. Every known method of in- timidation was used by the law, but nevertheless, the hall was full to capacity, with men women and chil- dren, Negroes and white Long before the meeting time, two police were in the squad car in front, of the hall, with the intention of breaking the meeting up, just as they have done time after time in the past. But after seeing the great number of workers, and noticing their militancy, these two bosses’ servants did not dare to attack, and after listening to some of the speaker's hot words, they hur- ried away and did return, and the meeting was enthusiastically held! The National Hunger March move is also very promising, and will get all Yes, the workers of Peoria are moving.—M. 8.

Cops in Relief Station Beat Up Negro; Jail Him (By a Worker Correspondent.) CHICAGO, Ill. — Yesterday after- noon about 2 p m. I was waiting for my case worker on the third floor of the relief station and suddenly I heard @ commotion on the floor below me. I crowded over to the railing with many others ang heard heavy blows, What I saw made my blood boil, three or four of them dragging a helpless Negro worker, blood oozing from all sections of his head and face. Now) one of the cops swings his club on the helpless form and blood squirts high. A savage blow and the club splinters—on a human head! Then he 4s rushed, off to jail. The Negro worker is Sam Harter and: lives with his family at 2206 Prarie Ave. His wife and four year old boy make up the family. He is one of the Negro workers who has not yet learned the need of organi- zation, a fine clean cut worker of about 36. He is unemployed for about two years. The family has lived for about three months on the meagre relief given out by the Michigan Avenue relief station.

FLEET Write to Daily; Will, Stand Behind Workers NEW YORK.—The Daily Worker reprints in full a letter whch it re- ceived from a group of sailors aboard the battleship “Mississippi.” The letter speaks for itself. To the Daily Worker, Dear Comrades: Last week 35 sailors on board the U, 8S. S. Mississippi, in dry dock at the Navy Yard, Portsmouth Va., were held on board ship for eight hours and questioned by officers as to the source of Communist litera- ture that we were getting. The offi- cers could not get a word out of any that the possibilities of war are greater today than before the last Right here in the Port- smouth Navy Yard, the government is modernizing the Mississippi and the Idaho at the cost of millions of dollars, yet they use the sailor to do the work of a civilian and we a fraction of their pay. These talists want a war for they must ve markets for surplus goods, it be a means by which they can; rid themselves of the millions of un- employed and destroy the only work- ers government, the Soviet Union. Although we are paid to protect the interests of the capitalists of this country, we want the workers to know | that our interests are the interests of the working class and when the time comes we will fight shoulder to shoulder with our fellow workers to rid the world of capitalism and es- tablish a workers and farmers gov- ernment. ‘This Monday we are going down to the City Auditorium in Norfolk to hear the Communist candidate for President speak—Wm.

The proposal was made by Peter G. Ten Eyck, president of the New York State Waterways Association. It includes “all the land east and south of the St. Lawrence River from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.” ‘Sim- ilar proposals have been made in the past looking to American possession of the strategic islands of the Carib- bean. Look to Next War. Ten Eyck made it clear that he} considered American imperialism would be hampered “in the event of war” by British control of most of | the St. Lawrence waterways. He} made the usual imperialist attempt to conceal from the masses the sharp- ening struggle between American and British imperialism for markets, which is already finding expression in armed conflicts between their pup- pet governments in South America. He carefully refrained from directly naming Britain as an object of American war preparations, stating instead that in event of war between Great Britain and any country on friendly terms with the United States or war between the United States and an ally of Great Britain, this country would not be permitted to utilize the St. Lawrence waterway. No Let Up In Crisis» The government made public yes- terdsy the British and French notes proposing revision of the inter-gov- ernmental war debts. Both notes ad- mit that the world crisis of capital- ism is deepening and stress the ur- gency for some sore of immediate ac- tion, The British note declares the Hoover moratorium year to have been a flop, stating that “the hopes which were early raised by the President's initiative have unfortunately not been realized, and the economic) troubles which it was designed to) alleviate have not come to an end.” Despite this clear admission of the complete failure of Hoover’s mora- torium to halt the repidly developing | economic collapse . of capitalism, Hoover in an open ‘letter to Presi- dent-elect, Roosevelt indulges his now well-known genius for economic fic- tion, and adds for good measure the shameless lie that “disarmament” is making progress—in the face of irre- futable proof that the imperialists are more, frantically arming than ever. He states: “The moratorium which I pro- posed a year ago in June—that is, the year's postponement of inter- governmental debts and the spread of the deferred payment over ten| years—was approved by Congress. It served a great purpose in staying de- struction in every direction and giv- ing to Europe a year in which to realize and so modify their attitude | on solely European questions as to support their credit structure from a great deal of further destruction. They have made very substantial progress during that year in finan- cial readjustments among them- selves and toward armament reduc- tioa,” Republican-Democrat Move. | EMBER 19-20!

He declares) against the attempts of the French government to link up the loss of German reparations, through the iron resistance of the German masses to the robber Versailles pach, with the question of the war debts. He states that he is opposed to “cancel- laton in any form” of the war debts due the Wall Street Goyernment, but is “receptive to proposals from our debtors of tangible compensation in other forms than direct payment in expansion of markets for the prod- ucts of our labor and our farms.” For Grabbing New Territories. American imperialism is thus de- manding the lowering of tariff bar- riers by other countries at the same time that it continues to build higher its tariff barriers against its im- perialist rivals. It also demands that its debtors surrender territory de- sired by the United States as seen both in Hoover's statement and the various proposals for the handing over of Canadian territory and the British and French West Indian islands. i This line is again brought forward , sharply in the proposals of the Com- mittee for the Consideration of Inter- governmental Debts, a committee composed of 51 bankers and indus- trialists, including a window dressing of labor misleaders from the A.
