Although the Jap- anese imperialists are waging war on China, the Nanking Government continues diplomatic relations with Japan, and the Japanese legations in China are fully manned by Japanese diplomats, spies, and legation troops. With three Japanese armies sweeping forward into Jehol Province, the anti-Soviet nature of this latest imperialist in- vasion of Chinese territory is clearly revealed in statements made yesterday by the official spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office and by the internment of a Soviet whaling fleet = “© of four ships by the Japanese author- SOLDIERS JOIN SPANISH REVOLT: SOVIETS FORMED Martial Law; Revolt - Spread in South; General Strike * MADRID, Spain, Jan. 11.—With the revolutionary movement spread- ng, the government, in a panic, declares the highest state of emer- gency, The country is under vir- tual martial jaw, but thus far the government fears to officially de- clare it. All soldiers on reserve have been called in. Outbreaks on a large scale sweep the country and the military authorities do not know where to concentrate troops first. In the midst of all this comes the disquieting (for the govern- ment) news that soldiers are des- erting and joining the revolution- ary ranks of the working class. In a number of towns Soviets have been declared and have been func- tioning in some for twenty-four hours, although the government of- ficially ‘arnounces that they are be- ing overthrown as fast as they are set up. This is largely discoynted 28 propaganda designed to break the moral of workers who are just enter- ing into the class conflict that is raging. ‘The revolt is rapidly spreading, especially through Southern Spain. A general strike is on now in Seville, which threatens to paralyze all An- dalusia. In Barcelona, scene of the first fighting and where a general strike is in progress, the police and civil guards are frantically trying to lo- cate a powerful broadcast station that is constantly appealing for ris- } ings among the workers and peas- ants and the setting up of soviets. Workers and soldiers in the village ‘@f Rinconada, near Seville, cut ofi @ommunications so the police could Rot call for aid, burned the town hall, shouting “Viva el Soviet!”, and seized the Civil Guard barracks. The same thing happened at Betera, while Soviets were set up at Algada and Castilbonco. In more than fifty towns and YWlages all communica- tion is cut off and the government ig desperately trying to get informa- tion on the state of these places. Heavy reinforcements of machine- battalions, air forces, tanks, cavalry and infantry are moving on Oadiz, where a general strike is on and where long feared strike of transport workers has begun which may spread and paralyze the trans- port system of the country. The shipyard workers are in the fore- front of the street fighting at Cadiz. ~The government still continues to falsify the casualties, only reporting those from the workers’ side, and covering up its own losses suffered in the street battles. PROTEST AGAINST WARS TONIGHT! Alberto Rembao, Robert Minor, Dmitri Ivanovich, Robert Dunn, Ni- cholas Gutarra, Joseph Freeman and William Simons will tonight address & mass protest miteting against the present wars in South America and ‘4m sppport of the Latin-American Anti-War Congress to be held in Montevideo, Uruguay, on February 28. The meeting will be held tonight at Irving Plaza, Irving Place and 1th Street at 8:30 p.m., arranged by the American Committee for Strug- Against War. = Three Colomibian warships have arrived at Manaos, Brazil. Upon ar- rival of a fourth ship, they will pro- -ceed down the Amazon River to the disputed port which the ‘United States and British imperial- . ‘ists covet because of its oil resources. “/ Simultaneously the Paraguayan government is actively building for- ‘tifications at Puetro Casado and Concentrating its numerous soldiers, indicating that Bolivia is about to launch a strong drive toward the Paraguay river. Despite talk of neutral commis- sions and embargoes on shipments -of war materials (which latter meas- ure Congress will probably reject), feverish preparatins for continua- tion.of the “undeclared’ wars are still going on in Colombia and Peru and 4m Paraguay and Bolivia, ities at Futami, port of the Bonin Islands. The fleet’ had been lost in a fog and storm and entered the har- bor, seeking water and fuel, Sabotage Peace Pact. The Foreign Office spokesman openly announced Japan’s sabotage of the peace efforts of the Soviet Union, rejecting the non-aggression | pact offered by the Soviet govern- ment, and declaring this pact, which has been shelyed by the Japanese militarists for more than a year, to be “as good as dead”. Feverishly seeking for a pretext to attack the Soviet Union, the spokes- man of Japanese imperialism delib- erately distorted Comrade Stalin’s remarks on Soviet defensive meas- ures before the Moscow meeting of the Central Committee of the Rus- sian Communist Party. Distort Stalin Speech. Comrade Stalin mentioned that the Soviet government had been forced to make certain re-adjustments in the first 5-Year Plan to strengthen the defense of the Soviet Union in view of the unsettled conditions in the Far East and the refusal of cer- tain neighboring powers to sign non- aggression pacts with the Soviet Union. The Japanese Foreign Office spokesman hypocritically attempts to “prove” by this statement that the Soviet Union is “feverishly prepar- ing for war.” He conveniently ig- nores the fact that the Soviet Union has consistently refused to be pro- yoked into war despite the mon- ‘strous provocations of the imperial- ist_ powers. DEMAND HAUNG’S FREEDOM TODAY! Follow Up Wiith Meet- ing Tomorrow BULLETIN. NEW YORK.—The National Stu- dents League: yesterday received a reply from Marshal Chang Hsiao- ling to its cabled protest against the arfest and torture by Kuomintang of- ficials of Huang Ping, secretary of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Chang attempts to evade responsi- bility for the arrest and torture of the working class, leader, declaring that Huang has been sent to Nanking for sentence. He sets as the price of Huang’s release his betrayal of the interests of the toiling masses, de- claring he will intercede for him “in case he serves China faithfully.” NEW YORK.—Workers trom all over the city and of every nationality willjoin today in a mass demonstra- tion that will demand the immediate release of Huang Ping, secretary of the All-China Trade Union Federa- tion, who has been arrested and is be- ing tortured in Peiping by the agents of Marshall Chang Hsiao-liang, dic- tator of North China. The demon- stration will be held at 5 p. m. at the Chinese Consulate, 13 Astor Pl. Huang Ping is being subjected to the most frightful tortures because of his leadership of the heroic strug- gles of the Chinese masses. The Nanking government, nominally the head of China, and American im- perialism, which supports both the Nanking and Peiping regimes are, also responsible for this torture. Mass Meet Tomorrow ‘The mass movement to force the release of Huang will be further de- veloped at a meeting tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Pl. James W. Ford, for- mer Communist candidate for vice- president, and Louise Thompson, as- sistant secretary of the National Committee for the Defense of Politi- cal Prisoners, both of whom were /members of the delegation which pre- sented a protest to the Chinese lega- tion in Washington yesterday, will speak.’ The delegation gained a vic- tory when they made the Chinese minister promise td forward their protest wires to Nanking and Peiping.

A large crowd of pickets at the same time smashed police ban against*picketing on the llth St. side of the corner build- ing. The crowd paraded along the forbidden section, while the police guard looked on helplessly. A mass turn-out is urged here today. NEW YORK.—Reports kept coming into the Daily Worker office all day yesterday of rent strikes spreading in the Bronx, in Brooklyn and in Man- hattan. The final report of a smashing victory at 1049 Bryant Ave. completed the picture of a day of militant struggle of tenants against landlords, with thousands of workers. IVY MOSS DEAD; 4th VICTIM OF THE ALA. LANDLORDS Denial of Medical Aid Resulted in Pneumonia BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 11.—Ivy Moss, Negro cropper, died yesterday several days after mass pressure effected his release from jail. He was one of seven croppers released following the wholesale ar- rests made by the sheriffs after the Battle of Reeltown in which Negro croppers and exploited farmers heroically defended them- selves against the armed landlord-po- lice lynch gangs seeking to smash the Share Croppers Union and ter- rorize the Negro toilers. Moss died of pneumonia as a re- sult of exposure and lack of care while he laid wounded in jail. Moss’ death increases the known number of Negro dead to four. At least one cropper was murdered following the Battle of Reeltown. Cliff James and Milo Bentley, leaders of the Crop- pers Union at Reeltown, were mur- dered in jail by denial by the author- ities of medical attention for their wounds. The murder of the four croppers lies directly at the doors of the rich landlords of Tallapoosa County, their police and their Negro reformist agents at the head of Tus- kegee Institute, who betrayed Cliff James and another cropper into the hands of the police. Jug Moss, another of the released croppers, is reported dying. He was the one who nursed Cliff James and Milo Bentley while they were con~ fined together in a dark cell and de- nied medical ald. Jug Moss had been threatened by the landlords and their sheriffs with lynching since he was released. Similar threats have been made against many other crop- pers in the Reeltown section. Only the firm solidarity of many of the white croppers with the Negro crop- pers in the joint struggle against starvation has prevented the carry- ing out of these threats. The landlord-police terror con- tinues, however, and whole fami- lies, including infants at their mothers’ breasts, are reported sleep- ing in the brush in fear of another murderous attack by the landlords and their deputized thugs.

After of week of bitter struggle at 1049 Bryant Ave., filled with mass picketing~ and demonstrations, the Janlord was ready, even eager to sign the agreement when the House Com- mittee, together with a representa- tive of the East Bronx Unemployed Council, conferred with him yester- day. The agreement provided for: 1.—Reinstatement of all tenants who had been evicted. 2.—10 per cent reduction in rent. 3.—Recognition of House Commit- tee. 4.—No evictions to take place with- out consent of the House Committee. 5.—Recognition of the Unemployed Council. The struggle at 1049 Bryant Avenue was conducted with the aid of the East Bronx Unemployed Council, with headquarters at 616 Tinton Ave. When the tenants of 1053 Bryant Ave. heard of the victory some of them came to 616 Tinton Ave. to} ask aid in conducting their own rent strike. These tenants had previously thought they could get the same con- ditions without a struggle. A victory march will be held Fri-| day evening on Bryant Ave. to cele- brate the winning of the rent strike. Put Back Evicted Worker When a worker was evicted from 891 Southern Boulevard yesterday, and when striking tenants of 1049 Bryant Ave. heard about it, they marched in a body and put the evicted woman back in the House} before the Marshall left the block. A cop was called and a woman from the house pointed out at a worker of the East Bronx Unem- ployed Council and had him ar- rested. The militancy of the crowd forced the cop to release the worker The other women of the house almost | killed the tenant who ratted on the active of the Unemployed Council. Evictions On East Side Hundreds of East Side workers turned out to support the strike at lith St. and Avenue A, where five were evicted yesterday in the morn-| ing before the picket lines were strong. Hundreds picketed in front of the building all day, but were forbidden by police to picket on the 11th street side of the place.

The crowded wards re- sound with the moans of Negro and white workers caught in the “medi- cal’ lair of the Tammany Tiger. Strange stories of Negro workers, and some few white, becoming “hu- man guinea pigs” for the training of inexperienced white doctors, are increasingly seeping through the “ethical” silence of the hospital. Negro doctors who object to condi- tions are fired by the Tammany me- dical bosses,.Dr. Louis Wright, Negro police surgeon, and Dr. John F..Con- ners (white) who find their dif- ference in color no barrier to a united attack on Negro workers and doctors. Ravaged by Disease The bosses of New York wage a relentless campaign of discrimination and segregation against Negro work- ers. In Harlem, 80 per cent of the heads of families are unemployed. Those workers with jobs are paid lower wages than white workers. Several families live together in single rooms. Mothers work in fac- tories and are forced to neglect their babies. Children go without food. Is it any wonder that diseases finds especially fertile ground among Negro workers in Harlem and the surgical knives of white doctors find ready sources of experimentation? These doctors, having but recently completed their interneship, and unable to get on the staff of any other hospital, are placed in Harlem Hospital through personal or poli- tical favoritism. Here they get their training and make their “mistakes” as the expense of Negro workers. In 1930, @ “reorganization” . took place which was supposed to provide for capable and experienced white doctors to instruct the young Negro doctors. Experimentatin In the words of Dr. Charles Pe- tioni of 114 West 131 Street, for sev- eral years resident, physician in Har- lem Hospital, “The Harlem Hospital has been converted into a training ground for white doctors to the ex- clusion of Negroes. Capable and pro- mising Negro doctors are not ad- mitted to the hospital staff, The white doctors who come, come not to instruct, but to learn on Negro pa= tients. These patients find a com- plete lack of sympathy from th white doctors who regard them as subjects for experimentation.” Doctors are supposed to have at least five years of general practice and specialized study, before becom- ing assistant visiting surgeons. But this period iis quickly bricyed in Harlem Hospital. Young white doc- tors who yesterday were internes to- day become instructing surgeons. “One Way Trip” Negro tubercular patients are often rushed back to the clinic, or to Sea View Hospital of which place workers say “it is a one way trip,” while richer waite patients are sent to much better equipped places. One Negro worker related how, while with a friend who suddenly became iil, he supported him bodily until they reached Harlem Hospital. The physician there refused to admit him because ‘he couldn’t be so sick if he was able to walk.” This worker was finally admitted to an- other hospital where he died within a short time! Recently the Daily Worker reported (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) TWO NEGROES GET LIFE TERMS BY TENN. BOSS COURT LEBANON, Tenn., Jan. 11. Life terms were handed out to two Negro farmers, and a 25- year term to a 17-year old Ne- gro lad, because they defended themselves against a gang or- ganized by the authorities here, who staged a raid on a Negro home near Laguardo, last Sep- tember. Jacob Alexander 51, and his son, Charles, 17 were sentenced to life terms, and George Bentam Oldham, 17 was sentenced to twenty-five years. Under Tennessee parole laws, all three will be eligible for parole in: 17 years. James Marshall, a Ne- gro boy of 19, arrested at the same time, was acquitted. Two Negro women also arrested, were released after having been turned over to a GIBSON CLIQUE MAKES PROFITS FOR CONTRACTOR Needle Unemployed Council Gets More Relief for Negroes NEW YORK.—Although the capi- talist-supported Gibson Committee claims that it is not carrying on work in the shops for profits, nor is it giv- ing work to private contractors, the workers have found that this is a lie. Sherman, who has a shop at 797 Broadway, advertised in the Jewish Morning Journal of Jan. 9, for work- ers on sewing machines. A worker who saw the advertisement came up to this shop and’ Sherfhan told him the Gibson work was being carried on there. He was told that the high- est wages paid in the shop were $1.50. In addition, Sherman boasts that he has the righ to hire and fire the workers as he sees fit. At the “S. and G. Shop,” located at Thatford Avenue, Brooklyn, do- ing Gibson work, a time-keeper, Katz, because a woman worker recently argued with him about her time card, slapped her in the face. Another worker, Baliff, objected yesterday to Katz's methods. Katz called a po- liceman, and had him thrown out of the shop. In contrast to this kind of treat- ment, sponsored by the Gibson Com- mittee, which poses as a friend of the workers, is the realsaid whi is being given to rs Needle Trades Unemployn mittee. 4. Negro worker, Mary Buchan, who applied for help, was taken to the Heme Relief Bureau, at 125th St. and Second Ave. by the Unemployed Council. There, there got for this worker not only coal and food but also rent. Another Negro worker, Alexander Marcel, was taken by the Needle ‘Trades Unemployment Committee to the Home Relief Bureau at 856 Quin- cy St., Brooklyn, when it was seen that he was in need. This worker's main request was that his child be given milk. He won this demand, but also got coal and had his rent paid. In addition to this help which was given the Negro workers are the cases of five white needle workers who were taken to the Home Relief Burau in th Bronx Opera House and secured reliet.

C. Over Pre-War; U.S. Dropped to 84 P.C. Declares Stalin MOSCOW, Jan. 11.—Following is the continuation of the speech de- livered by Joseph Stalin, Genergl Secretary of the’ Communist Party of the Soviet Union, before the full plenum session of the Central Com~- mittee and the Central Control Com- mission of the Communist Party, USSR. Stalin compared the volume of industrial output in the Soviet Un- ion with that of the capitalist coun- tries. While the output in the Sov- jet Union in 1932 increased 334 per cent over pre-war production, that of the United States dropped to 84 per cent of the pre-war figures, in England to 75 per cent, in Germany to 62 _ 7 cent. Industrial output in the Soviet Union for 1932 equals 219 per cent of production during the year 1928 while in the same period the output in America fell to 56 per cent, in England to 80 per cent and in Ger- many to 55. Policy Correct. Stalin then refuted the argument of, those who favored less expendi- ture for industrial construction and would} increase for the Will Place Special Emphasis on Mastering Technique in New U.S. S. R. Plants position similar to that of China— defenseless before armed aggressors. ‘The Communist Party is absolutely correct in the policy of maximum acceleration of the pace of construc- tion. The opposite policy would have meant, not non-aggression pacts, but armed intervention. Second-Five-Year-Plan. Stalin then proceeded to deal with the question, is this accelerated pace necessary for the Second-Five-Year- Plan. His answer was no, for the First Plan had fulfilled the main task of the construction of industry, transport, agriculture and the im- provement of the defensive capacity of the country. ‘The main task of the Second-Five- Year-Plan consists in the mastery of technique in the newly erected plants. Raising of the qualification of workers’ engineers requires more time. The yearly increase in indus- trial output during the first Five- Year-Plan averaged 22 per cent. The Second-Five-Year- Plan should be taken as 13 to 14 per cent yearly. The increase anticipated for the year 1933 equals 16 per cent. For the capitalist countries, under the present conditions, even 5 per cent annual increase represents an im- possible ideal Stalin pointed out that the percentage of annual in- crease proposed for the Second-Five- Year-Plan represents a larger ac- tual increase since the absolute vol- ume of production is steadily grow- ing. Progress of Agriculture, Reviewing the results of the First- Five-Year-Plan in agriculture, Stal- in recalled the Party's principle that the construction of the Socialist so- ciety demands a change from small scale peasant farming to large scale collective agriculture, During about three years, 200,000 collectives and 5,000 state farms have been organized. Sown area has been expanded by 21,000,000 hectareg (hec- tare equals 2 1-2 acres.) Over 60 per cent of the peasant farms, in- cluding 70 per cent of peasant land, + are now embraced by the Socialist form of agriculture. This represents over-fulfilment of the original Man by three times. Capacity of marketable grain pro- duction has been increased from 500- 600 million poods under individual farming to 1,200,000,000 to 1,400,000,- 000 poods yearly. Defeat Kulaks, The Party has succeeded in de- feating the kulaks as a class, al- though these have not yet been com; pletely finished with. Collective farming has been estab- lished under the Soviet Government on a firm economic basis. The Sov- iet Union has been transformed into a country with the world’s largest ag- ricultural economy. This has been done despite the bourgeois press chatter about the failure of collec- tivization. Stalin made reference to the pro- posal ccming from some quarters that collective and state farms which are not paving concerns should be dissolved, end only paying concerns maintained. He replied that while, already, thousands of collectives and scores of Soviet Farms are quite (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE 'A.F.L.

He say: “The local which T represent has actively participated in the fight initiated by the A. F. of L.
