Ea ce { 4 | h International Notes | ‘The capitalist press recently cele- Brated the tenth anniversary of fas- cist rule in Italy. On that occasion they printed dispatches telling how Mussolini walked through factories HOW MUSSOLINI REALLY VISITED TURIN. without any guard, to show how well- | liked he is among the workers. Now we get at the real truth in this visit of his, revealed in illegal correspondence from the Italian frontier. Hundreds of Italians were arrested by the Turin police before Tl Duce arrived. Many persons pre- ferred to leave the city rather than witness the ceremonies. Every house and every flat in the streets through which the parade was to pass was searched by the police. Heads of families were ordered to submit lists of their family members, boarders, and guests to the police. This is a somewhat more accurate Picture of how jwas; his visit to Turin, center of an- ti-fascism, was prepared for by the police just as the Russian police and the Okhrana used to “prepare” a city for the visit of the Czar. Mus- solini’s promise that fascism will live one hundred years is just whistling in the dark to conceal his mortal ter- ror, The samme fears that haunted the Czar are dogging Il Duce’s life. ‘His uneasy head will yet be put to eternal rest by the victorious Italian working class. COMMUNTEM ON THE MARCH IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA. BRATISLAVA (By Mail). — City elections were held in Bratislava “Bruenn) on October 23. The Com- munist Party vote rose from 1000 in 1928 to 1514, thus becoming the larg- est single party in the city, The Hunearian Christian Socialists drop- ped from 1668 to 1153, while the So- cial-Democrats fell from 639 to 618 frotes.

AMERICA Argentina Leads Drive ; on Wall St. Control | ~The Argentina Government yester- | day announced the setting up of an \arbitration commission for South America, from which the United States Government is excluded. In addition to Argentina, several South American governments are reported to have accepied the compact. The move is a further step in the fierce struggle between American and British imperialisms for eco- nomic hegemony over South Amer- ica. It is a victory for British im- perialism over its American rival. ‘The struggle between the two ban- | bit imperialist powers has already.. | entered the armed stage in the un- | declared wars between Bolivia and | Paraguay and between Colomb‘a | and Peru which were directly in- stigated by the imperialists—the United States through és puppet governments In SollVia and Uo- Iombia, the British through their Paraguayan and Peruvian tools. | While the U. S. capitalist press is | hiding the war moves of U. S. im-/ perialism, the New York Times blurts out: | “Members of the present Argentine government...are openly jealous of | the preponderant leadership of Unit- ed States in the Bolivian-Paraguayan negotiations.” (Emphasis ours—Daily Worker.) Deadly War Game The Times did not add that “the members of the present Argentine government” are British pawns in| the criminal war inciting game. It also does not admit that the govern- ments of Bolivia and Co'cmbia are pawns of dollar imperial-@. in that; same deadly game. The’ Argentina + imperialism put forward their anti- American move as a “super peace plan”. This is in the best traditions of the League of Nations, the United States and the whole bloody brood of imperialists hastening towards an- other world war.

WORKER: CORRESPONDENCE Search Home of Unemployed for “Hidden Fortune” FLINT, Mich—The supervisor ot Burton Township, Earnie Thomas, | with the assistance of a flunkey, Mr Fleming, have under them several hundred men, who are forced to work two days a week for scrip. The work these men have to do is digging ditches, cutting grass along the roads and highways, cutting wood. Any dirty work that does not necessarily have to be done. Makes no differ2nco rain or shine, they are forced to do countless jobs such as clean ditches, that have been untouched for many years. They are hauled to and from work like cattle in a truck, no roof; and seats that are about to fall to pieces under the men’s weight. For example, Joe Romanawski, Frank St. is a victim of Thomas’. He works two days a week, receives $3.25; on this sum his family of six have to live for a week. One day Thomas, Fleming, both came to search Joe's place for money.

Hundreds of Arme- nian refugees now living in Bulgaria are now emigrating to the Soviet ‘Union a$ well, with the permission of the Bulgarian government. The Near East Relief, the huge ‘American missionary and charity or- ganization under the chairmanship of iulti-millionaires has failed totally in settling the problem of the thou- | sands of Avmenian refugees who fied from the victorious Turkish armies after the Greco-Turkish war.

Braun intended to appoint the the Reich’s Minister of Finance Die- trich simultaneously Prussian Minis- ter of Finance and’then to resign and let Bruening take over the pre- miership of Prussia also. This is a more detailed confirma- tion of the revelations at the Leipzig trial concerning Severing’s offer to yon Gayl, Thus in principle the so- cial democracy can haye no objection {J'to von Papen’s action in Prussia.

Over 20 of them were arrested in the course of a few days and tried. They could not pay their fines, of course, and so they had to work out their fines at Oak Forest. ‘These workers have still to learn that organized efforts are the only way to get real relief. In this Calumet region there is great activity in preparation for the hunger march: to Washington, and many workers who before knew noth~ ing of organized action, are now join- ing the mass struggle for relief and unemployment insurance, Unemployed Negro Forced to Work on W.

A policeman comes up and tells him its time for you to get off of the street right now. The worker said alright, I am going. ‘The policeman lets him walk up the street about ten feet, catches up with him, and arrests him, and fines him five dollars. He being unemployed and unable to pay his fine, he had to go to work on the roads for five days. —A, NOTE.—Stories like this bear out from the worker’s own experience, the hoi*ble truths contained in the story on present-day Negro slavery in the U.S., in Georg: Spivak’s novel, “Geor- gia Nigger,” which is running serially in the Daily Worker at present, Bosses of Forced Labor Don’t Like the Daily Worker CINCINATTI, O.—Recently I gave a Daily Worker to a worker who works on Cincinatti Relizf at fo-ced labor, He wrote on the top of it the committee to draw up the Con-/ stitution of the Council to comply with capitalist law and order.
