A DAILY WORKER, W YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933 GREET ROOSEVELT INAUGU RAL MARCH 4 BY , ORDER U.S. NAVY AT PHILIPPINES “BE READY”; JAPAN NAVY GETS SAME ORDER; VOTING WAR FUNDS) Demonstrate Against War at Brooklyn Boro} Hall, and N. Y. Waterfront, Saturday! NEW YORK.—Workers here rally tomorrow in two great demonstra- tions against the approaching world slaughter and against the present wars of imperialism in Asia and South America. They will lift their voices against the shipment of munitions from the port of New York, and against the Army Bill and the dragooning of homeless youth into milit- ary camps, in preparation for their use in the trenches. Both demonstrations are tomorrow noon. One is at Brooklyn Boro Hall, from where the masses of workers will march to President and Co- lumbia streets. This demonstration is particularly against the shipment of munitions, now going on, from Brooklyn to both Japan and the U. S. puppet states in South America, Bolivia and Colombia. The Communist Party Brooklyn sections call all Brooklyn workers to be present. The other demonstration is called by the Communist Party and Young Communist League, at South and Whitehall streets, on the water- front of Manhattan. It is particularly against the Couzens Bill which drafts unemployed young workers into military concentration camps un- der the guise of “relief.” It demands the $20,000,000 appropriated by this Senate bill be turned over to direct relief of the jobless youth. It protests the voting of $370,000,000 by the Senate for military expenditures. Both demonstrations will also serve to rally workers for a real strug- gle for unemployment insurance through the workers (state) conference on Unemployment Insurance and Labor Legislation, meeting March 5-7 in Albany. Five airplanes were shipped on the Grace Line steamer Santa Clara to Bolivia on Feb. 4. A week later more planes went the same way. A few weeks prior to that the United Dry Docks at 28th St. and First Ave., filled a ship and hired a crew for the war between Bolivia and Paraguay. Serap iron, cotton, glycerine and other war materials are shipped daily for Japanese imperialist attacks on China and in preparation for attacks on the Soviet Union. A \ \ All shipments of war materials from Brooklyn are increasing rapidly. | The Wall Street Government yesterday instructed its naval and military forces in the Phillipines to hold themselves in readiness, at the same frantically pushing its preparations for an armed challenge against the threatened Japanese pene- tration of U.

FARM CONGRESS SPEEDS ACTIVITY USSR Land Workers Tell Experiences By N.

Fascists set fire last night to a house occupied by the families of Socialist workers, driving women, children and men into the cold in their night clothes, and rendering nine families homeless. One worker and his wife had to leap from a high window to save their lives from the flames. Capitalist press dispatches report a nationwide re- action against the fascists, forcing Hitler and his lieutenants to appeal to their followers to curb their attacks. Death Toll Mounts. (Cable by Inprecorr.) BERLIN, Feb. 23—The death toll of the fascist terror mounted today with the death of several Communist and Socialist workers. Gottschalk, a Reichsbanner man. died in the hospital totay following his wound- ing by fascists at..Moabii. yesterday. Another Reichsbanner man, Gross- kopf, shot in, Hanover on Tuesday, died today. A Communist worker, Glow, shot by fascists at Spandou last Tuesday, died today. Last night Walter Pache, a worker, was shot dead at his window during a collision between workers and the fascists, Armed uniformed fascists attacked Socialist and Communist meetings at Hindenburg, Silesia, yesterday ser- ijously wounding 80 workers. DEMONSTRATE AGAINST WAR TSeattle Workers Defy Ban by Mayor SEATTLE, Feb. 23—Seattle work- ers defied the police ban on workers’ meetings to hold a militant anti-war demonstration last Tuesday against the war drive of U.S. and Japanese imperialism in the Far East. In their efforts to crush the anti- war sentiments of the masses, the bosses and their police launched a Savage attack on the demonstration, pulling down the speakers and ar- resting 10 workers, some of whom they savagely beat up. This action, together with the police ban on meet- ings, has aroused the masses, who are determined to intensify their resist- ance to the capitalist war mongers. Rumanian Workers Here Protest Murder at Bucharest, Cluj NEW YORK.—A hundred Rou- /manian workers in New York met Wednesday at the call of the Rou- manian Workers Club, and adopted strong resolutions of protest against the brutalitfes and killings of work- ers at Bucharest, Couj, and other Roumantan cities. They demand abolition of martial law and curfew in Roumania, no more arrests and shootings, and un- conditional release of all arrested. |sion of Jehol Province. Naval officers at Manila have report- ed back that U. S. warships at that port are ready to sail within less than 24 hours, Arrest Japan Government Arent + The arrest bv California author- ities of T. A. Miya, an agent of the Japanese Government touring this country, was used to further dra- matize the acute antagonisms be- tween the two imperialist bandit powers in the developing war situa- tion in the Far East. The Japanese Consul General in San Francisco has demanded his immediate release. de- claring that a machine gun found in his possession is the property of the Japanese Government. Miya has been addressing meetings of Jap- angse in this country in a drive to obtain enlistments for the Japanese army. Chauvinistic demands for further huge appropriations for the U. 8S. Navy were made in Congress yester- day by Chairman Vinson (Georgia Democrat) of the naval committee and at a meeting of veterans by Rear Admiral William W. Phelps, Commandant of the Third Naval District; Brig. Gen. Charles Elliot Warren and Congressman Hamilton Fish. All demanded new war ex- venditures. Chairman Vinson, speak- ing on the new bill for a $315,000,000 appropriation for the navy, openly referred to the Far East war situa- tion, declaring “the international situation today is far from reassur- ing,” and charging an increase of “Japanese influence” in the Far East atthe. expense of “American in- fluence.” “Presiderit-elect Roosevelt is-¥eported supporting the drive: for a huge navy. Sienificantly, Roose- velt sent instructions to the U. S. Ambassador to France, Walter Edge, to delete any criticism of the French repudiation of the war debts from his Washington birthday speech in Paris. By offering concessions on the war debts to France and England, the Wall Street Government is striv- ing to obtain their neutrality in the wer it is instieatine with Japan. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Govern- ment is increasing its secret efforts to divert the Japanese away from its spheres of investments and toward the Soviet borders. Japan Also Ready The capitalist war-mongers of Japan are also actively preparing end instigating the new world war. The “Nichi Nichi” of Tokio reports that “each and every naval unit has been made ready for the worst pos- sible turn in the situation.” Both the U. S. and the Japanese Battle Fleets are thus concentrated and primed for action. Build Anti-War Committees The increasing drive for war on both sides of the Pacific must be a warning to the toiling masses of the U.S. to intensify the struggle against the capitalist war-mongers. The tremendous anti-war actions of the Japanese toilers must serve as an inspiration to us in this country to build anti-war committees in all in- dustries and neighborhoods and to push forward along the road of struggle that will wipe out capital- ism, the breeder of starvation and war, The Japanese government, notified the League of Nations yesterday of its intention to annex Jehol Province. The French and British delegates to the League conference at once start- *d a move to abandon discussion on the Manchurian situation in an at- tempt to block the Wall Street Gov- ernment in its policy of using the small powers in the League to force that be*v into active opposition svainst Japan. Red Army Units Check Japanese Chinese irrevulars defending Jehol were engaged in bitter battles with the invading Japanese army yester- day. The Chinese defenders are dig- sing in on a 250-mile front. Fierce hand to hand encounters were re- ported from the Nanling sector, where the Chinese are reported to have repulsed eight successive at- tacks by the Japanese. Chinese Red Army units continue to hold up the Japanese advance in the vicinity of Kailu, northwestern gateway to Je- hol Province. The Nanking Govern- ment continues its demagogic pro- mises of “armed resistance” to the i there without, however, translat- these promises into action, lion masses of the former poor farmers to the level of middle farm~- ers. The division into poor and rich farmers was undermined. | The kulaks were defeated and the poor peasants were helped to become master of their own labor. Twenty million poor farmers were thus saved from poverty and serf- dom under the heels of rich farm- ers (kulaks). “We shall succeed in raising all collective farmers in the course of two to three years to the level of well to do people enjoying an abundance of products and Jead- ing an entirely cultured life,” said Stalin, . MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By Radio- gram)—Reverberations of the his- toric First Congress of the Collective Farm shock-workers, is echoing throughout the country. Numerous messages from different sections tell of the surge of activity in the col- lective farms brought about by the Socialist farmers bent on pulling the majority of the collective farms up to the high standards manifested by the model collective represented at the Congress. Your correspondent interviewed many delegates from different re- gions and found them all full of optimism and certainty that most of the collective farms in their region could and would be made efficient and prosperous. Combat Kulaks From personal experiences these delegates told your correspondent of many cases of disruptive influence of the kulak elements, resulting in some instances in undermining the col- lective farms, disorganizing work, damaging machinery and generally | 4, lowering productivity. Stern meas- ures against disrupters and damagers as well as against shirkers are con- sidered to be of vital necessity. Along with this, concrete construc- tive measures were suggested in lead- ing speeches and in reports of indi- vidual delegates, promising to go a long way in strengthening all col- lective farms and assuring complete success of the spring sowing. Welds Unity The delegates were tremendously impressed by the Red Capital and by the reception given them by workers from the factories. Ties of friend- ship between the workers and the collective farm peasantry were dem- onstrated not merely by formal re- ceptions, but also by the feverish ac- tivity of the factories to help the collective farms to carry out their spring sowing and strengthen their organizations. Greet Red Army Many delegates remained in Mos- cow for the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Red Army, The identity of the interests of the Red Army and the masses of the pea- santry was splendidly manifested in the enthusiastic reception accorded by the delegates to the leaders of the Red Army. Voroshilov was exceeded by that given Stalin at the concluding ses- sion of the Congress. Voroshilov and other representa- tives of the Red Army displayed re- markable familarity with the affairs of the collective farms, giving sound practical advice, pointing out the aid of the Red Army, offering the col- lective farms to communicate the ex- periences of the Red Army in tend- ing horses and in working efficiently. Far from being a coerive force, the Red Army is truly part and parcel of the toiling masses lending them the best of its forces and experience for the common purpose of building Socialism. It is a force for peace as well as defense. Jewish Farmers Among the 1,500 crack farmers bent on building Socialism, there were ten delegates from Jewish col- lective farms in Ukraine, Crimea and White Russia. They told your cor- respondent of their former life, full of privations, without prospects for the future, and of the regeneration brought about by settling on land. In several regions the Jewish pea- ants forra the majority and have the | opportunity to conduct local govern- ment affairs in their own language. The hardworking, well managed Jawish collective farms prosper, while in others the same causes that make for inefficiency and disruption in the collective farms, also obtain in the remarkable first gathering of the/ The ovation given to| | activity that Boston showed at the Inactivity of West Coast Increases Threat to ‘Daily Minnesota, Boston Also Lag; Wednesday Total | Keeps Pace With Previous Day | With $608.79 received on Wednes- } day, donations to the Daily Worker $35,000 drive kept pace with the Tues- | day total, but failed to rise in re-| sponse to the sharper needs of our | Paper. | New York’s $360.98, a great deal of | which was raised at Communist Par- | ty Unit collections on Tuesday night, | Saved the day, together with the con- | tribution of $191.71 from the Inter- | national Workers Order.

YOU) can reach these workers. We can not.” te eee! ‘The reply of one Boston worker to this appeal was: ie “Comrades: I cannot find that ‘John’ in, next door, BUT I WILL LOOK FOR HIM! Meanwhile, I enclose my own two dollars.” | If this worker can send $2 to the Daily and determine to raise funds among his fellow workers and neigh- | bors, the Boston district apparatus | should be able to mobilize hundre like him. Where is the spirit and) beginning of this drive? And Other Districts. The same thing holds true of other districts that have not so far BEGUN to do their shares in the campaign. Particularly Minnesota, Seattle and California. These districts, among the lowest in their quota achieved, should settle down to work. Sending in a good sum one day and remain- ing silent for the rest of the week does not constitute activity.

Hat Co., to a shop meeting in Bryant Hall last week, Mr, Spector stated that he demanded of Mr. Lish that 25 workers lose their jobs be- cause of being behind in dues. Under disciplinary measures of stopping the meeting if any one speaks, discusses or asks questions while Mr. Specter speaks, the work- ers were forced into silence during the entire meeting but were promised the floor for questions and discussion after he gets through. By that time it was too late and the meeting ad- journed. The workers went back withthe same grievances end faced the same miserable conditions in the shops as before. Mr. Specter puts the entire blame for not having the conditions in the agreement on the workers, claiming that they are poor “trade unionists.” Jewish collectives. New Generation An inspiring example of the new generation is furnished by Anna Be- lous of the Dniepro-Petrovsk region in Ukraine. She is only 18, but won distinction as the best worker with tractors in her district.
