In this way, said Pieck, the Fascists seek to prevent the filing of an alternative list by the | Communist Party and thus leave it, without candidates. The Fascists reckon that in such a| ituation a part of the Communist | supporters would vote Socialist, but | that @ great number would refrain n voting and thus make it possi- ble for the government parties to ectre the required majority.

HUGE |[Factories Rushing Military Orders The world-wide mass pro- | test against the imprisonment | and torture of Huan Ping, Chi- nese Communist leader, and secretary of the All China La- | bor Federation, has forced the Nanking government to re- lease him, according to the re- port of the Chinese delegation to the League of Nations. Huan Ping v ested in Peiping early in Janua. by the police of Marshal Chang Hsiao-ling, and was transported in chains and under heavy guard to Nanking, where he was thrown into prison with the Nanking Government refusing to re- veal his whereabouts. He was threat- ened by death by the same govern- ment which has acted as the hang- man of thousands of anti-imperialist fighters in China. The toiling masses in China and throughout the United States and Europe at once thundered their in- dignant protest, holding demonstra- tions before the Chinese Legations and wiring demands to the Nanking Government for his release. Many such demonstrations were held in the United States, and a delegation of workers and intellectuals travelled to Washington to file a protest with the Chinese Ambassador to this country. Huan Ping is reported to have been released on Jan. 24. His release fur- ther emphasizes the power of mass protest and points the way to the fur- ther strengthening of proletarian in- ternational solidarity in the struggle against fascist terror and imperialist war.

Stop Philadelphia Evictions. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.—Over 1,000 workers in the neighborhood stopped an attempted eviction by driving away the constables from an unemployed workers’ home at 5025 Kershaw Street. The constables had Joaded the furniture into trucks be- fore the workers were ready for the fight; then they held the constables at bay, while they unloaded the fur- niture and put it back into the house. After the furniture had been put back the police went through the neigh- borhood and arrested five workers who are charged with “rioting” be- cause they participated in the defense of the workers’ home. The same neighborhood Unemployed Council stopped another eviction in the same neighborhood at 5012 Stils Street.
