i] DA ILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1932 By PETER HENRY. AGENT PROVOCATEUR IN ENGLAND Dispatches from London to the New York capitalist press tell of the arrest of an employee of the Rus- sian Oil: Products, Ltd.,. the , Soviet oil company in Great Britain, on chargesof bribery. He is alleged to have bribed an employee of Sir Henri Deterding’s Shell-Max British Petrol- eum Co, Lid, to obtain secret in- formation regarding that, company. ‘The Soviet. company’s attorney sta- ted that his action was entirely with- out its knowledge and that the com- pany was anxious to assist in the prosecution of the case. ‘This affair ties up closely with the violent campaign of the British Die- Hard Tories for the rupture of all relations with the Soviet Union and the expulsion-of all Soviet agencies | from Great Britain, After the publi- cation of the forged “Comintern let- ters” and the denunciation of the | flour is being manufactured.

NAVY MELBOURNE, Nov. 11. (By Mail).) —Another mutiny broke out in the | Australian navy in Sydney harbor on Wednesday, November 9th, in spite of the government's precautionary | measures. One hundred men on the | depot ‘ship “Penguin’ refused to} take orders for half an hour, They declared they were acting in sympa- thy with the 3,000 sailors who pro- | tested against wage cuts on Tues- | day in a huge mass meeting in Mel- bourne. The government. and the Ministry of War state that these mut- | inies. are- extremely serious matters, | ascribing them to Communist agita- tion-in the navy. Leaflets. were dis-| tributed 6n the warships, describing } the mutiny in the. British Navy last | year.and calling on the Australian | sailors to follow the British example. | The Defense Minister anfounced | that some of the leaflet distributors | had.-been. arrested, but, the mutinies | took place none the less. Subse- quently sailors telephonet! the Min- istry, saying that if the arrested leaflet distributars were not released at once, a revolt. in the navy would be unavoidable. Efforts to ascertain the names of those who telephoned were foiled by the telephone operator, who refused to give out"the informa- tion. This mutiny in Australia is a re- percussion of the glorious example of Invergordén in Scotland last year, when the British Grand Fleet was unable to put out to sea for man~ euyers because of the ‘sailors’ strike. The economic crisis is weakening the tradition of blind obedience in ‘the capitalists’ armed “forces; the Sydney and Melbourne stand as.) brilliant incident in the history of the class struggle. Ne Re BOURGEOIS COMMENT ON THE) GERMAN ELECTIONS The Prague bourgeois daily “Bo- hemia” comments on the Communist victory in the German _ Reichstag elections as follows: “The rapid growth of the Communists is re- ported from all districts of the Reich, an expression of the progressive rad- icalization of the masses. The Ger- man: Social Democracy has been on the decline ever since 1928, while the Communists have been growing steadily. . . . “Without hesitation or mental gymnastics we must confess that many bourgeois votes went to | the Marxists, because the rapidly growing economic distress is obvi- | ously leading many impoverished middle-class voters to Communism, which- they are coming “to consider their only salvation.” { “Kurjer Warszawski,” imperialist Polish daily, says: “The Communist are the moral victors in the German | . election campaign.” ee | The “London Daily Herald” organ of the British Labor Party, says: “Hitlerism is dead as an important political factor for the future. The | growth of the Communists is doubt- less the result of the Papen Gov- ernment’s policies, which is. driving the masses to extremist ideas.” The Paris “Excelsior” writes: ‘The growth of the Communists is a blow “to the prestige of the Papen Cabinet.” | esther Dee SOCIALIST MINISTERS PROHIBIT THE RED FLAG There are seven “Socialist” minis- ters in. the’ Czechoslovakian govern- ment. But when a red flag was dis- played on the building housing the Prague headquarters of the Commu- nist Party of Czechoslovakia, a po- lice officer appeared. with an order from the District Police Bureau de- manding the immiediate removal of the flag ‘for reasons of public law and order.” Again—there are seven “Social- ist” ministers in the Czechoslovakian government. mment superfluous. shaw POLITICAL PRISONERS ON .

George Valentine, a Negro preacher of this comunity, lead a mob of white boss lynchers which a few days ago brutally lynched Ed Dunlap, a Negro white foreman who kicked him and fired him when he protested and then refused to pay him his wages. Ed Dunlap was driven away, but later returned to renew his demands for the wages due him, The white foreman again struck him, and reached for his gun. Dunlap beat him to the draw and fired two shots into his abdomen, ; Dunlap made-his escape and after wandering in the swamps for hours he made his way to the home of Rev. Valentine. The hunted’ worker gave the preacher his last two dollars and asked him to get him some food. The preacher instead went to the sheriff and returned at the head of a lynch |gang which brutally lynched Dunlap after he had put up a heroic fight in which he wounded several of the mob. Negro workers are framed-up and lynched almost daily in the South for demanding their wages and resenting the brutality of the white bosses and | their foremen. It is out of this brutal persecution of the Negro masses that the hideous Scottsboro frame-up against. nine Negro children was woven. ‘The Negro préatiier th this case played the same role, only more | openly, as is being played by Walter White and other Negro and white re- formists as assistant hangmen of the | Negro mases in the interest of white | supremacy of the rober rule of the capitalists and landowners, 41 MORE KHAKI SHIRTS TO MARCE Pace Appeal Up Today | Demand Release! {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I SEE ENS | Instead of relief, Rohn offered him forced labor, When Pace refused, an argument started and Rohn called the | police and had Pace arrested. | Pace is known to thousands of ex- | servicemen throughout the country.
