International Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON HOW MANCHURIA IS “PACIFIED” SHANGHAI, Dec, 26 (by mail).— The “Chinese Weekly Review” pub- lishes an interesting article on the | situation in Manchuria. Since Sep- tember 18, 1931, when the Japanese invaded Manchuria, the country has | been in utter chads. The authority of the so-called state of Manchoukuo, | supported on Japanese bayonets, pre- vails in the railway zones and the i nt cities, otherwise the gr r of Manchuria are completely in the hands of Chinese irregulars. These irregulars are con- ducting a desperate struggle against the Japanese occupation and will probably continue to do so for a long time fo come, despite tremendous dif- | ficulti shortage of weapons and ammunition, and a lack of skilled or- ganizers and leaders. Since the Japanese invasion the population of Manchuria’ has been ruined. The ravages of war. the dis- organization of trade anc industry, and the destruction ca‘sc i by the fighting bas been enhenc.d by the terrible floods. | The population is bitterly opposed | to the anchukuo government and to revolt against it at the opportunity. The Chinese irreg- wla enjoy the complete support of the popu This ri capitalist sources on the “pacification” of Manchuria gives the lie direct to the Japanese pretense that all the people of Man- ia are behind the new regime. MORE JAPANESE PREPARATIONS | FOR WAR } Japanesd arms factories are work- day and night, according to a nghai weekly. Many indi ial factories have already been converted into war plants, Great columns of metor cks are a ing from Eu- rope sor ar tanspot. Impois from Europe include mateials for the man- ufacture of poison gas. The Japanese naval base at Kura is being extended and. developed at 2 feverish pace, the number of work employed there having increased from 3,000 to 18,000 since last year. The war arsenals in Ivanuki, Shi- monoseki, and Chikodsima have all | been expanded. i \ Six new big, chemical plants have / been built for the manufacture poison gas. Iron and steel plants also being reorganized for war uses. The airplane base in Sasebo has been enlarged-and hangars are being built for giant bombing planes. A new air- piane base is being constructed in Bagamega Kachara. Demo ‘Tzusin, the semi-official) news agency, announces a big four-| year program for strengthening the Japanese war fleet. i The Japanese bourgeois press is making no effort to conceal or deny these open preparations for war. The tax situation in Japan is so catastro- phic that these war expenditures cannot be met from current income and the Japanese government is therefore adopting the old expedient | of running the note printing presses overtime ROOSEVELT AND HOOVER ON WAR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of it is desperately trying to throw the Japanese back towards the Soviet Union’s frontiers and away from Wall Street’s loot in China. | The workers of the United States must answer Wall Street's prep- arations for war against Japan to protect U. S. imperialist interests, and war especialy against the So- viet Union. Decisive anti-war ac- tions are imperative! Set up anti- war committees in industry, among the unemployed, in neighborhoods! Stop the shipment of war muni- tions! For united struggle of the toilers in the U. S. and Japan against the imperialist war makers in Washington and Tokio! For- ward along the road of struggle that will eliminate the cases of war, that will eliminate capital- ism! It is clear that the incoming Roosevelt administration intends not only to continue the traditional Wall Street policy of spilling the blood of workers to protect its loot in China, but intends to carry out that policy in a more aggressive manner. This is emphasized by the frantic war preparations, by the declarations of Roosevelt and other leaders of the Democratic Party for a “Big Navy” policy, by the present moves in Con- gress to increase the already huge war appropriations.

Last year, while I was working in one of the largest department stores, Mr. Gibson and Mrs. Hutton, both millionaires, came to the employees and appealed to our sympathies to contribute to the Emergency Fund. They told us about the prevailing misery and tried to impress us that we were very lucky to be working and so we must help, even though we were only making 12 to 14 dollars a week. When I was thrown out of work, I was forced to turn to the Emer- geney Work Bureau. All I have re- ceived so far are promises. I de- cided I could not live on promises. Thursday, together with 14 other representing the Unemployed Workers Association, we went Belmont, head of the yn of the E.W.B., who gorgeous offices at the at the expense of Office up to see M Wome ains ‘aldorf-Astoria, the workers. We cited our cases and demanded immediate jobs or relief. Despite the fact that the Emergency has col- lected $14,000,000 (according to the newspapers) under the slogan “W‘e'll it through,” they claimed they were unable to take care of the un- employed adequately. Names and add of cases were ‘presented and s) { attention was promised, But even if some cash relief is ob- tainec 1 jobs received, we realize that s is only temporary—and it does not solve the problem. We office workers who have never realized what organization means, understand now that only by strengthening out organization, the Unemployed Office Workers Associ- ation, and fight for unemployment insurance, can our problems be solved BOARD EXPELLS CCNY. STUDENTS 19 Ousted for Protest Mass Trial in Oct. NEW YORK.—Ninetcen students of the College of the City of New York ning the new school year by the Board of Higher Education when the latter met le# Tuesday night. The Board continued the attack | against these students for attending; a mass trial last October which found the C.C.N.Y. administration guilty of | sending police to beat students at a meeting in C.C.N.Y. protesting the ousting of Oakley Johnson frem the sehool faculty. ‘The expulsion is in reality an ex- puision for the whole term because after missing the first month’s work the students will be unable to catch up. The Board discreetly waited until mass pressure against the case had died down and students are more or less disbanded by the ending of the school year. The National Students League at 13 West 17th St., will lead N. ¥. stu- dents in a protest and are preparing — GREATER VICTORIES SHOE WORKER CALLS FOR FIGHT ON SPLITTERS NEW YORK.--I want to say a few words about the mass meeting of shoe, slipper and stitchdown workers which the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union is calling for tonight at Irving Plaza, Irving Place, corner of 15th St. This mass meeting must bring} sharply to the forefront the dangers| the shoe workers are facing now. The “Federation of Shoe Workers,” led by a fascist clique, is trying to stir up national prejudices and to break up the unity of the workers in the shops. The Union must isolate this clique by calling upon the work- ers in the shops to stand united on a basis of struggle against wage cuts, layoffs and discharges. ~ The Union must point out con- eretely how a United Front action of rank and file workers brings vic- tory and defeats the disruption of unity. The Weissman [Sass shoe strike, which was called by the Fed- eration, is a great lesson to the shoe workers, pointing out concretelly how the workers can be united and out- maneuver the Federation leaders in their attempt to keep the crew split. What was the position of the In- dustrial Union in this strike? 1. To call out all workers to join the striking lasters. 2. To formulate joint demands. 3. To elect a joint strike commit- tee. The leaders of the Federation were against these proposals but the work- ers knew that this would strengthen the strike and the whole crew adopted all the proposals, and on the basis of united action proceeded with the strike and won a victory. At the coming mass meeting the! union must come clearly with a pro- gram of concrete demands so that the workers should grasp the im- portance of the present organization drive. The leadership of the union must be prepared with definite proposals how organization work is to be carried on in the shops, how shop groups can be built and what these groups must do to rally the rest of the workers around them for united action to establish minimum base prices, hours and organization in the shops. It is also my opinion that a large organization committee should be elected of members argi non-mem- bers to carry out daily concentration at definitely assigned shops. ‘The shoe, slipper and stitchdown workers must come to this important mass meeting to demonstrate for the union and to throw themselves into struggle for the defense of the | employed and unemployed shoe workers. D. ROBBINS. DNIEPERSTROY AT HUNDRED \ MILLION MARK ‘The workers of the Dnieper Power Station made the following entry in the Works Journal on Dec. 20: “The meters of our plant show that today a production of 100,423,700 kilo- watt hours had been reached. This is the best answer to the bourgeois press liars who are spreading the rumor that the Dnieper plant has been built but is failing to function satisfac- torily, On the eve of the beginning of the Second Five Year Plan we sol- Chariton Buri, a farmer in the U.S.S.R., lived in this miserable shack when he was an indi farmer trying to eke out an ex- istence on a small plot of land.

The third reason for the defects, said |Stalin, is that many of our comrades did not understand the full meaning of collective farm as a new form of economy. Collective farming represents a socialist form of economic organization just as the Soviets represent a socialist form of political organization. The tive farms, as well as the Soviets, are the greatest achievement of our re- volution. But though the collective farms and Soviets, as organizations, are socialistic in form, it all depends on what content is infused into this form. Stalin cited instances from the revolution of 1917 and the Ger- man Revolution of 1918 when Soviets in the hands of counter-revolution- ary mensheviks became counter-re- volutionary organizations, The s applies to collective farms, he which, ds a socialist form of agricul- tural economy, may produce the greatest results, but onl; emnly undertake to fulfill our plan figure of one billion kilowatt hours LENIN. a petition demanding the reinstate- ment of the expelled students. for 1933, and if possible to excel this figure.” Delegates of 333 Organizations Adopt City Committee, representing 333 or- ganizations in New York City, at a meeting last Saturday adopied aj} program of action in the drive for! $35,000 und made some definite ahd | constructive changes in the form of} organization. { It was decided to re-organize the | City Committee on a_ territorial) basis with the 12 members of the executive committee directing the} work in the territories in which they live.

Roosevelt attempts to conceal from the masses the fact that the threat- ened armed struggle with Japan is based on the rivalry of the two im- perialist bandit powers for suprem- acy in the Pacific and for the most desirable share of the loot in the proceeding partition of China. Un- der the guise of maintaining the “Open Door” in China, the U. S. bosses are striving to maintain U. S. hegemony over Kuomintang China, The struggle is carried out under: the pretext of upholding the capacity of treaties. The fact that Roosevelt, as assist- ant secretary of the U. S. Navy in the Wilson Administration, carried out the rape of Haiti and tore up the Haitian Constitution to permit control of Haiti by Wall Street in- terests, does not prevent this super demagog from proclaiming t “American foreign policies must up- hold the sanctity of treaties.” GOES TO JAIL TO PROVIDE FOR FAMILY DAYTON, O.—Richard Rambow, 26, father of two children refused @ probationary sentence in court here and was sentenced to 2 years in pri- son for a theft which he committed deliberately to get the prison term. fle wanted his wife to get a pension. So it is under capitalism. A worker cannot get work while “free” and jail means a few dollars for his fam- he dD. tion adopted by the City Committee. FOUR MAIN POINTS OF PROGRAM The following points were discus- sed by the City Committee: 1. Every organization, aside from | raising funds through its own membership, shall see that the em- ployed and unemployed members raise funds OUTSIDE of its own organization, 2. Ali Party members who are meinbers of mass organizations must be in the forefront of the drive and work only through the organization, _ _8. Daring the entive drive, spe- cial attention is to be paid to news stands sales. News stands not carrying the “Daily” shall be urged to order the “Daily” through: the Metropolitan News: Company. 4. Circulation is of great im- portance and the drive shon!d not completely ignore sub and circula- tion work, A city-wide conference will also be called. At this city-wide meet- ing, a new Committee will be elec- ted, to “function for the next four months. ier EXAMPLE OF BOLSHEVIK INITIATIVE Section 1, Communist Party, Brooklyn, a newly organized sec- tion of the Party, set a fine ex- ample of Bolshevik initiative and enterprise, The announcement of distressing financial condition of the Daily Worker on Saturday Program jor ‘Daily’ Driv NEW YORK.~— The Daily Worker | Answer These! |“Oughta Be a Law!” DISTRICTS: 1.

Unreliable, wavering alien elements and concealed class enemies may for a certain period turn a col- lective farm into a shelter of counter- revolutionary activities, Importance of Guidance. Another reason for the defects, Stalin declared, is the tendency of the rural Communists to blame the peasants for the failure in grain de- liveries rather than themselves. In reality, the Communists the ves are to blame. Stalin pointed out numerous collective farms that ‘are flourishing, meeting state obligations and improving their own conditions, while in the same locality, under the same conditions, the harvest work of other collectives is weak and falling apart. “The reason,” Stalin said, “is that the first group of collectives are guided by genuine Communists, while the second group are guided by in- compentents even though they may carry Party membership books. Many Achievements. In conclusion, Stalin pointed to the fact that he dwelt only on the short- comings, leaving out many st serious and decisive achievements” of collectivized agriculture. “Can these defects be corrected?” he asked. “Yes, undoubtedly. Of this there can be no doubt. I think that the polit- ical sections of the machine-tractor Stations and the state farms are one of the decisive means that will make it possible to eliminate these defects in the shortest possible time.” A new resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party establishes political sections in con- nection with |the machine-tractor stations and the state farms for the purpose of carrying out the govern- ment and Party policy, organizing the efficient management of the col- lective and state farms and waging a merciless struggle against kulak (rich peasant) elements and other counter-revolutionary disruptors. 5,000 ARMENTANS RETURN TO SOVIET ARMENIA SOFIA, Bulgaria, Dec. 30 (by mail) —A ship carrying 1,000 Armenians left the Bulgarian Black Sea port of K. um 2.00 Patip Goldfeather 8.25, Unemployed member of A.

For example: In New York! City, the painters were on strike for $11.20 a day. The Third General) Vice-President, Edward Ackerley, set- led the strike for less than the em-| ployers offered at the beginning of the strike. The very same Vi President, Ackerley, furnished strike- breakers to a firm by the name of Brindze in New York City, When the District Council called a strike on one of the jobs, he sent in strike-} | breakers ‘ Where the Money Went. In reference to the “rigid economy” conducted by the General Executive Board, we shall only quote figures from our official journal, “The Pain- ter and Decorator.” On Jan. 1, 1930, the balance in the treasury in the General Office was $755,042.94; the balance on Oct. 1, 1932, was $290,- 901.66, leaving a deficit of $464,141.28. What happened to this half-million dollars? Was it paid to help the un- employed in the organization? NO! For the years of 1930, 1931 and the first nine months of 1932, the total sum paid to the general organizers amounted to $567,128.96.
