| DATLY WORKER, NEW 1URK, FRIDAY, NOVE MBER 25 19 32 Page Thre International Notes By PETER HENRY, A FRANCO-JAPANESE BLOC. Dispatches from Paris to the bour- geois press portray the Paris pre: ympathy with the Japanese case before the League of Nations. These newspaners, which are the most cor- rupt of any in the capitals of the | world, justify Japan's actions in Manchuria and hint that France will probably support Japan in the League Council. At the same tinis| the dispatches talk of Japanese of- | fers of support for French policies at | Geneva and in the French colony of | 7 Indo-China in return for support of | f% the Japanese claims, together with a | French loan to Japan. ‘The urgent need for such a loan \s evident when we look at the unpre- cedented Jananese budget with an admitted deficit of one billion yen and the depreciation of the Tokyc currency, which has lost 60 per cen‘ of its values since the beginning of the Manchurian imperialist adven- | ture. In addition the Japanese must. defend the extraordinary costs of | the Manchurian expedition, which is | turning out to be a longer and a} harder job than they had berg: for, end which is costing them 000.900 this year alone. Finally, world eccnomic crisis has told heav. ily on Japan. which sees its Ik | farmers ruined, with peasants’ riots | in various parts of the country | against oppresive taxation, and wide- | spread unemployment in the ind! cal trial areas. Japan is a comouaratively | poor country, and the world crisis | has hit it as hard or harder than | anv other. s ‘This is where France comes in. with billions in go'd available and | resitating to est in disturbed | Rurope, the French bankers are wi ling to consider furnishing money end munitions to Japan in return for | Japanese support of the French anti- Soviet policy in Europe. reeds | A SOCIAIST LEADER LOOKS AT) THE UNEMPLOYED } A. Fenner Brockway, the leader of | the British Tndepent Labor Po: has just nublished a book called “sungry England.” in whieh—in| Norman Thomas sty fe describes | the sufferings and misery in working class areas from South Wales to the Cvide. After describing a slumming visit of his to a proletarian district. he writes: “What can I sav to these folk when we ect ip to go? Wish them better Inck. when I krow that} there 's so little chance of it? I do. It's cll T con do,” This is the advice and encouraze- | ment held out by a supposed labor leader to the starving masses st Ke | ing leadership in a struggle against unemployment and misery!

(By Mail) —In the Octobe: Bist elections of shop comncil dele- gotes to represent the workers of the Ely coal mine in Seestadtl the Com- munist candidates of the Miners In- dustrial Union won 107 votes and) two seats. compared to 75 votes (1 seat) for the Socialist Miners Union end 96 votes (1 seat) for the Fascists. The results of this mine delegate election reflect the Communists’ ac- | tivity and leadership of the recent | stike at the mine. SECRET COMMUNIST BROADCASTER IN BERLIN | BERLIN. Noy. 7. (By Mail).—For the last two Sundays a secret broad- casting station has been going on the air at around 7 p.m. The programs include talks on the need for united front action against wage-cuts and unemployment relief reductions, at- tacks on the Von Hindenburg and | the Von Papan cabinet, talks on the | Communist attitude to religion, the | playing of the “Internationale,” a talk on the 15th Anniversary of the | Soviet Union, and an appeal to all) workers to vote the Communist tick- | et. The transmitter is reported to be extremely powerful. drowning out all other programs. Its wave length is only a little off that of the big Ber- lin station. The police efforts to lo- cate the station have been fruitless. ‘The German radio, like the Amer- ican, is denied to the Communists. But workers’ ingenuity apparently can find a way. “If you don’t let us get at the official microphones, we will build our own station and say what we think is best—without cen- sorship—to the working class.” Bra- vo, Berlin! 500 Strike on Wrecking Job in Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 24.— When a contractor on the wrecking job, clearing the site of the new Court House here refused to live up to the agereement of 50 cents an hour wages and tried to put a_20 cent scale into effect, about 500° workers protested so vigorously that the job was stopped. A leaflet has been issued to the workers by the Joint Hunger March Committee, calling on the organized and unorganized workers to organ- ize rank and file committees for presenting their demands of: 50 cents an hour, no forced labor, sup- port of national hunger march for r relief and unemployment in- surance. Los Angeles Union Raps “Red Squad” LOS ANGELES, Calif—The mem- bership of the Typographical Union No, 174 put through a sharp resolu- tion denouncing the vicious anti- working class activities of the ‘Red Squad’ which is a special body of city detectives working under the direct supervision of the Chamber of Commerce.

'S., British Rivalry | Sharpens Under the pretext of preserving | “international agreements,” the gov- ernments of Brazil and Chile moved yesterday to enter the undeclared war between Colombia and Peru. Brazilian warships seized the Peru- vian troop transport on the upper Amazon. Simultaneously, announce- ment was made that Brazil and Chile are negotiating a secret treaty to| “prevent” “neutrality.” viol” ‘on of Ecuador's Tae Educator govern- ment itself is buying huge war sup- | plies in the: United States and France, | and has concentrated troops on the Peruvian borders. War In Name Of “Peace” The real war nature of the moves by Chile and Brazil and the hypo- crisy of their pretense of preserving “peace,” is clearly shown in the fact seizure of the Peruvian transport viclates an agreement be- tween Brazil, Peru and Colombia, whereby the two later governments | have the right to use the Brazilian waters for transport of troops under all circumstances barring war with Brazil itself. Anglo—U. S. Rivalries rific sharpening cf the imperialist hostilities and struggle over the war debt, markets, supremacy of the Paci- fic control over China, and the drive of the Powers for war as a continu- ation of their class policies “by other means” and for a capitalist ‘way out” of the crisis at the expense of the world’s toilers. The two undeclared wars now raging in South America reflect the struggle between American and British imperialists for control of Peru and for control of the Gran Chaca, the region disputed by their puppet governments of Boijivia and Paraguay. The Central Bank of Bolivia has demanded the calling of a special ses- sion of the Bolivian Congress to au- thorize a new war loan of 25,000,000 bolivianos.

Comradely, Cook Co, Uses Bonus Payment As An Excuse Chicago, Illinois. —-L. F. Editor:— The veterans who cashed in on the part-payment of the bonus are dis- criminated against at the county re- lief. It is assumed that they have an income because they did not ap- ply for relief during the period they spent this money. In other words this period is used against them. Ghandi would find it easy to fast here. All he would have to do is ap- ply to the county or Emmerson’'s for relief and then wait for it. —M.L.

I heard at a convention of officers that our armories have to prepare soldiers in full war equipment but I don’t know what for. Maybe for war against Bolshevism? I wish the people would start some- thing and knout and burn out the parasites and the officers too. They are just robbing the poor people and | do no work just eat and drink all day like swine. If I think what the poor go thru for them, I could just chop them, the swine.

Instead of working at the rate of 2214 cents per | hour for our script, that averaged | four cents per meal per person, all people receiving script must sign a note for all script and when the city | has any work for us they will call us | at the rate of 35 cents per hour to| | retire these notes.

After a discussion a provisional com- mittee was formed and officers elec- ted. It was decided to have a woman speaker at the vet rallies. —S. T. N. G. Gives Course in Slaughter of Workers NEW YORK, N. Y.—Here are some questions asked of a class of 2nd lieutenants of the National Guard. I hope the workers and the soldiers in the ranks wil learn from them (their working class duty). 1.—Give the reasons for protecting | factory districts during a riot. 2.—Should blank ammunition ever be used in a riot—why? 3.—Why is the use of chemicals during a riot better than ball-ammu- | nition? 4.—What precautions are neces- | sary when troops are disembarking | at a place of riot? (This means how would you keep soldiers from fratern- izing with workers?) Please publish this as a protest against such military training against | the working class. Workers are be- | ing taught to kill other workers not | knowing why.

In New York all food collected should be rushed immediately to one of the four central receiving stations which have been established for stor- ing the food.
