It has ordered thet the railways are to use Polish currency only in the Dan @rea, and that all the Danzig railway personnel, as well as the customs of- ficials, must use Polish as their. of- ficial language. : “Following on the recent economic yeoit of Danzig, and the repeated ps for military control of the Dan- haybor, this latest measure cyni- cally and openly reveals the Polish bourgeoisie’s repacious imperialist plans against Danzig, which have been denounced by the Communist Party of Poland. “This new measure of force against the subject German population of Danzig is likewise another step in Polish imperialism’s preparation for a war of intervention in the Soviet ion. “The Communist Party of Poland also denounces the aid given the Polish miperialists in this action against Danzig by the Fascist P.P.S, (Polish Socialist Party), which has frankly stated its approval of this policy of subjugation. “The Central Committee of the} Communist Party of Poland calls on all workers in Poland, West White Russia, and West Ukraine to fight these new imperialist provocations of Polish Fascism resolutely, to further yet against the robber Treaty of sailles, and against the Polish oc- ation of.

One worker testified that when he appeared as a Commu- nist. watcher in the 41st Pre: t, the election judges informed him that there was already a Communis: watcher there and presented a forged credential with the word “Commu- nist” on it, while the bona-fide cre- | dential had only the name of the Communist candidate for goy2rnor, Comrade Leonidas MacDonald. Another worker testified that Dem- ocrats issued cards to workers stat- ing they could neither read nor write, but wanted to vote Democrat, hence some Democrat would cast their bal- lots. This was a method used for wholesale vote buying. In Precinet 36, 1438 S.

League Sends “Peace” Commission. In opposition to the wishes of the United States imperialists, the League of Nations announced it would con- sider sending a “peace” commission to the Gran Chaca. The Argentina government officially disassociated itself from the so-called commission of “neutrals” organized under United States hegemony.

The casualties include many women and children. . The aerial bombardment was ac- companied by a vigorous assault from the Lu River by Gen. Liu’s gunboats and a fleet of 70 junks crowded with troops. The attack was beaten off, Gen. Liu’s forces losing 1,000 men when 25 of the heavily laden junks were sunk by artillery fire. Over 300,000 troops are involved in the civil war. At the same time, Tibetan troops armed and instigated by the British imperialists, are pushing an invasion of Szechwan Province with the ul- tmate objective of attacking the Chi- nese Soviet Power.

DOVER, Del., Nov. 17—Monday 32 state hunger marchers left Wilming- ton for the capital of Delaware. They held open-air meetings of 300 in Smyrna and 500 in Middleton and got additional delegates there. The state legislature opened its special session to consider relief for the jobless about noon, Tuesday. A sharp argument with the state police and the Delaware secretary of state was won by the marchers, and the whole delegation came in, They heard Governor Buck, Re- publican, who won the election on a promise, “No men and womer. shall go hungry.” Then, by motion of a legislator, the delegation was given the . Green, its first spokesman, contra- dicted Buck's statement that there are only 16,000 jobless in Delaware. He showed there are about 40,000. | o¢ He showed that if the legislature were to adopt the bill before it, sup- ported by Buck, for only $2,000,000 for a year's relief,#it would mean five cents a meal for the jobless. He told of plenty of eviction cases. Negro Delegate Protests. A Negro delegate, who spoke next, told of the horrible places in which Negroes are Jim-Crowed in Dela- ware, and the discrimination against them in relief; hundreds of Negro families in Smyrna and Middleton getting none whatever. Green then presented demands of the jobless for $10 a week for heads of families and $3 additional for de- pendents, no evictions, no shutting off of gas and electricity. He de- manded that the $13,000,000 now held in the treasury be turned over for unemployment relief. Mass Mecting Outs'de.
