Simultaneously with the new maneuvers at Geneva, Japanese frontiers of the Soviet Union in their atineks om the Manchurian insurgents, who already have wrested one-fourth of Manchuria from Japanese control, The growth of the economic crisis at home (in Japan) and the rising resistance of the toiling Japanese masses to the bourgeois program of hunger and war is further compli- cating the situation for the imperial- ists ang increasing their drive for a violent “solution” of the crisis by war, The workers of the United States and of the whole worl are thus 1aced with tne necessity of tne sharpest immediate struggle against imperialist war, for the defcnse of their class interests, of their livees and families against the war mon- gers, for the defense of the Chinese Peop'e and the Soviet Union, its successful Socialist construction and its firm peace policy. Question Is: How To Get $8.88 Each Week NEW YORK.—A list of 21 menus by which a family of two adults and three children are “supposed to be able to eat on for $8.88 weekly, were made public yesterday by “The Golden Rule Association” of New York city. The menus do not tell how an un- employed worker can get hold of $8.88 weckly, to spend for food.

COLUMN Worker Explains How! It Was Done IKANSAS CITY, Mo.—In Kansas City, Mo., the thugs of the Demo- cratic Party terrorized and browbeat the workers at the polls in an ef- fort to poll a big vote for Roosevelt and the rest of the Democratic ticket. When I went to vote, after having given my name to the clerk, I was told by one of the attendants that “everything was O. K.,.” with the at- tendant waving his hands for me to get out. I demanded a ballot and stated that I wanted to mark my own ballot. Two or three of the thugs then gathered around me and asked what was the matter. I as- serted two or three times in a clear, loud voice: I want a bollot; I want to mark my own ballot. This created a stir in the polling place, ang they finally gave me a ballot on which a cross had been ared at the tcp of the d+mocratic column. When I went to the booth seme cf the thugs followed me there to further intimidate me; however, the cross was erased and a mark placed in the Communist circle. After this there was a fight to get the ballot in the box. They tried to unfold it, but I protested. The ballot was then put in the box. Another procedure of the thugs at the polls was that of telling workers that they had voted in the primaries for the democratic candidates and that they were now compelled to vote democratic. ‘ . ‘There was a shameless buying of votes by the ward-heeling politicians acting for the leaders of the demo- cratic party. “Ghost-voting” was re- ported to have been openly carried out, with the officials winking at the practice. z We must organize la corps [of watchers at the polls in the coming election struggles in orde" to nut up a fight for the right of th> workers to choose their own candidates at the pels, A.B.

I was high man in this| county among the partys lecal can- didates, with 289 votes, A wealthy woman here in’ Prince-) ton, Mrs. Benson, told all her em- Ployees if they failed to vote the Re- publican ticket straight, and also put a mark on top of the ballot as she would know they voted, they would be looking for another job after election. This parasite was ar- rested at the polls for other unlaw- ful means she used for getting the votes. The democrat leaders here caused her arrest after one of their leaders was arrested for the same charge. Of course, neither of them were given a hearing, it was all a fake. These arrests were made to give the workers the idea that the election is honest, but the truth is that 90 per cent of the workers who voted Dem- ocrat or Republican did so because they feared they would lost their jobs or to get some food from the Social bureaus, © I have visited three professors and one minister who are Communist sympathizers here in Princeton, Each of them has pledged his support to the Hunger March. There is also a number of student sympathizers. Comrades, we must have someone to speak here to the intellectuals. They have asked me to arrange it. It would also be great to have Oak- ley Johnson as one of our leading writers to speak here. T. MeNally. Recalls Civil War; | Votes for Ford | TOLEDO, O.—I am over 78 years old and I voted for the Communist Party. My sister's husband would not vote because James Ford’s name was on the C. P, ballot. Why? The war of the Civil War was supposed to be in the interests lof the colored People, and I remember when the rebel's fired on ‘Fort Sumter in 61, and the blood of our soldiers ran kneedeep in at Gettysburg. I have/ seen the thousands of markers where lie the lives of our work- ers. I am today hoping to see those responsible for the crisis of unrest, hunger, devastation get their just de , the downfall of capitalism, the relegation of the stag- ger system to the shades of Hades— just plain justice to the grabbing gang. I only have to die once, and if I die in this cause, I am satisfied. —™M. B. R. GET READY FOR NEXT ELECTION WORKER CORRESPONDENCE rs THE ELECTIONS Chats with Our Worcorrs i CHATS WITH OUR WORCORRS. The stories in this section today are mostly on trickery and cheating at the polls. Though the elections are over, our campaign goes on, just as the class struggle as a whole goes on, and all stories revealing the tactics of the ruling class to suppress the struggles of the work- ers, are valuable to print. Even those stories sent in previ- ous to the elections, but which lack of space made it impossible to print them are still worth while publishing for the experiences we gain from them. Therefore this section today is devoted to the aftermath of the election campaign, with lits many lessons for the workers. FARMERS READY | FOR COMMUNISM Worker Suggests We Do More Explaining | CHICAGO, Tl—A comrade came to me and said that he was down- town and he saw two Negro workers have a sign on their chest and one on their back and words “Vote Com- | munist, Foster and Ford.” Another | comrade came from a farming coun- try and he said that if anybody would explain to the farmers about the Communist Party, they would vote for us, as they are hard hit and they don't know what Communism is, and can’t say the word Commu- nist right.

The fol- lowing conversation took place. “Why, Bob Stewart, have you the nerve to present that!” I said: “Yes and not ‘énily--that but’ enough guts to present it to the White Mouse.” Knowing I was an ex-serviceman, she asked me how much compensa- tion I was getting from the govern- ment: I said: “Not a dime.” She then said: “I know a senator that T can ask to help you and I am sure.that if .I ask, you will get help that will really amount to something BUT you must drop this Communist stuff.” I said: “As bad as I and my family do need help I would much rather have them and myself starve than to sell my soul so cheap,” and that ended the conversation.

Comrades: I have just had an experience in American “democracy.” I have lived in Illinois for the past three years ang naturally am a voter there. I registered in Rockford, Ill, on Oct. 8.
