Hu Han-min the press today, tarist warfare between Chiang Kai Shek and the Cantonese forces now under the control of General Chen Chi Tang is inevitable. Hu protested against the American loan of $50,000,- 000 in cotton and wheat to the Nank- ing government. The American loan, he asserted, will be used to arm Nanking against Canton, and was a fatal American mistake. He did not however, point out that the main purpose of arming Nanking was to continue its wars against the central Soviet district of China in an effort to wipe out this main bulwark of anti-imperialist resistance.

PARLEY ON ARMS ENDS IN GENEVA Armament Race for War Goes on GENEVA, June 2 Unable even to find an avenue an approach that would enable them to issue a state- ment of pacifist deception to cover up the armament race between the big powers, the general disarmament conference ended here today. One of the legates called the Affair a “first class: funeral,” and when adjournment was proposed everyone favored it except the Ger- man delegate, Rudolf Nalodny. They couldn't even agree on quitting. It, 4s expected that there will be! anoth?r attempt to hold such a con-| ference on October 16.

Other gold countries are solidly backing the French course at the conference on the limited question of maintaining the gold standard Italy is in this group, but opposes French policy on every other ques- tion.

At a meeting of delegates from these countries Emile Farooue of | Belgium heatedly rem-~ke@ that the only thing Ic’. for Belgium is to withdraw from the conference if she is not aided in remaining on the gold standard It is quite clear that nothing can save the gold standard of the coun- tales and that within a few days, possibly hours, there will not be one gold standard country on earth. Germany Cannot Meet Payments. The financial crisis in Germany continues and gets worse every day. Exempted from reparations pay- ments, interest payments will not be met on the Young loan. It is an- nounced thai efforts will be made to meet payments on the Dawes loan Tt is further announced from Berlin that “if exports permit, 30 per cent ef interest of foreign debts will be paid in six months.” What pros- pects there are in this is seen from the continued fall of all exports from Germany By EDWARD JAMES (Correspondent in Germany London Daily Worker) (The six articles previously pub- lished in this series told of the So- cial Democratic leaders’ treachery, the burning of the Reichstag, how the German workers fought the Nazi terror, the horrible torture of Communists in the Nazi secret cellar, the Nazi onslaughts on the factory councils, and how a Com- munist, stunted and crippled, faced the Nazi murderers undaunted.)

His experiences with his storm detachment in the first weeks of Hitler's accession to power showed him in fact that he was being misused as a gangster of cap- italism, instead of, as he thought, a soldier of “National Socialism.” Baumann 1s now side by side with people who not only say Socialism, but mean it and fight for it, His capture by his former friends means agreement in} as sealing} o DAY I shall give the names and, | Dail orker’ Dery US.A excepting Berergh ef Manhatten and Bronx, New York City.

Dimitrova was a well-known Serbian writer, and her poems belong to the best creations of revolutionary participated for years in the Bulgarian workers’ movement. She worked among the Bulgarian working women and took an active part in the building of the revolutionary press. Serbian languages HAYS LEAVES SOON. Garfield Hays, prominent New York attorney, NEW YORK.—Arthur will leave soon for Europe to aid in George Dimitroy, Blagoi Popoff and Vassil Tanev—all facing trial shortly on trumped-up charges of setting fire 21; last. A request that he help save the Communists had come to Hays yes-@ terday from David Levinson, Phila-| delphia attorney of the International Labor Defense at present in. Moscow. Similar cables are understood to} have been received by Clarance Dar- row ,and Paul Cravath, both out- standing Amrican attorneys, as well} as Felix Frankfurter, professor of | Law. at Harvard University. Hays responded at once to Levin- | son’s cable, declaring: “I shall be} glad to join in the defense of Torg- ,ler, Dimitrov, Popoff, and Tanev, provided the German Government | permits. I will be,in Paris at the | Hotel Mirabeau after duly 26.” The attorney stated yesterday | that upon his arrival in Paris he| would at opce get in touch with French attomeys who have offered | to aid in the defense of the German} Communists. Among these are Ce-| sar Campinchi, noted French crimi- nal lawyer and member of the Chamber of Deputies. ’ All Fought for Workers. Ernst Torgler, at the time of his arrest, was chairman of the Commu- nist deputies in the German Reich; stag. Following Hitlerite charges that Communists were responsible} for the Reichstag fire, Torgler, ac- companied by his attorney, had gone to the Berlin police and demanded a) hearing. Both were arrested at once.| George Dimitrov, a prominent working class leader, has been ac- tive in the Bulgarian revolutionary movement for 40 years. Since 1904 he has been general secretary of the revolutionary trade unions of Bul- garia. After the September revolt in 1923, he was compelled to flee Bul- garia. Since then has has lived in exile. During the past few years he has been very ill, and has lived in Germany. Blagoi Popoff. a commercial em- ployee by profession, is a young) Bulgarian revolutionary.

After since childhood devoted his life to Hitler German certain death. In the Nazi quarters in the Wiener Strasse Leo Krell was knocked about by the brown shirts and ordered to | sing the “Horst Wessel Song.” As |he was unable or unwilling to do so | he was beaten up with rubber clubs | and “Stahiruten,” steel rods, until he could no longer stand and then flung into the cellar, In the meantime his relatives dis- | covered where he was being kept, | thanks to Baumann, and his sister | went to the police and demanded | that they should secure his release, or, if they had anything against him, take charge of him themselves. The | police refused to interfere and de- \clared that they were powerless. | Died in the Hospital A few days later the family was | informed that Krell had been re- moved to the Nazi barracks in the General Pape Strasse., The sister | went to this barracks, but permission |to see her brother was refused, no doubt with very good reason. How- | ever, food and other necessaries were | accepted on ‘his behalf. The torture and maltreatment of | Leo Krell were continued in the | General Pape Strasse and on the night, March 21-22, he was delivered into the State Hospital in the Scharnhorst, Strasse. A few hours Jater he died without having recover- ed consciousness, The corpse was taken to the mortuary in the Hannoversche Strasse, where Krell’s doctor was permitted to identify the body, He declares that both face and hands were terribly mutilated, the head obviously having been beaten in with some blunt instrument or in- struments. However, he was not permitted to make a detailed examination of the body, nor to take a photograph. Lev Krell’s mother then received the following short communication from the authorities, informing her of the death of her son:— “On March 16, 1933, Leo Krell was arrested by the Brandenburg State Police (a lie!) as a political opponent. On March 20 he was admitted to the State Hospital, where he has since died.” Here is another case, far more re- cent, as it Ocourred in May. - Readers of the Daily Worker will remember the Roentgen Strasse case in Berlin, in which half a dozen young workers Preis 5 PT Voh Hand 2u Hand weltergebent Bertin, 1933 Das Tribunal Zentr dar QBfep Muse Deutscriancs Heraus mit Ernst Thalmann und den 30000 eingekerkerten Antifaschisten! be falonndegen enter? ecatene Ae me nea (hme diem 330 ho funningungce tn ew Bohehlen ey Das Zentralorgan der Roten Hilfe Deutsehlands \chismus, Klassenjustiz «. weiben Tarror Readout we Tee itie om Qaticr dem ak es algibtiigen Biurrercers te Hot nage tan, Redbit ad mero an rateliparitét tm Maw gegen ded leigiliiae ro cqirae a ie a, % woinbrarnee tot me esteaies ont vee 30000 .

Brilliant Defense The defense, which was conducted chiefly by Litten, a Communist law- yer now in the Sonnenberg concen- tration camp, where he is paying for his temerity, was nothing short of brilliant. He succeeded by splendid cros- examination and expert evidence in proting that since the ballet marks wero all on the side of the street Nazis had in fact shot their own man, The workers were acquitted. How- ever, the Nazis do not bother about such things now that they are in power. They have since kidn=p, all the defendants in this case they could Jay hands on, and the chief accused, the Communist young worker, Fritz Kolosche, has just heen discovered beaten to death in am ij cell in,#he Volkshaus, tm the Hosinen Strasse in Char- ‘Rolopsche has been tor- “te dents by known brown-shirted sadists, And then there is the physical ex- termination of the Bassy family in Bankau (Upper Silesia). On Febru- |ary 16, 1932, the farm worker, Au- gust Bassy, was murdered by Nazis under particularly atrocious circum- stances, They chased the unarmed man into his cottage, smashed down the door, fell upon him with clubs, _ knives and “Stzhiruten” before the eyes of his wife and children. His wife pleaded for his life to the murderous brutes, but they brutally pushed her aside and continued their work until August Bassy had been smashed into unrecognizabil- ity. To make quite sure they then fired shots into his head at point- | blank range. A number of arrests took’ place, and at a farcical trial one or two Nazis received mild sentences, the judge being chiefly concened in buliving and mocking the wife dur- ing her evidence. These men are now, of coi all free. threats into operation; the remaining two brothers Bassy have been found in a field with their bodies riddled with bullets. They were members of the Farm Workers Union and mem~ bers of the Farm Workers’ Committee on the Bankau Estate. Woman Beaten’ To Death A notorious case is that of the Social-Democratic member of the Coepenick Town Council, Frau Yan- kovsky. Frau Yonkovsky had earned the hatred of the local Nazis. One night they dragged her out of bed, took her to their headquarters, stripped her naked (she is a woman of about 50), dragged her on to a table, and as a particular finesse cov- ered her with a black, red and gold ‘flag (the flag of the Weimer. Repub- | lic), and thrashed away with “Stahl. ruten” and other instruments unt: her back and buttocks were torn to; chim.

Further, it must be remem- ’ bered that no one does or can know more than a fraction of the fearful terror which is raging underground throughout Germany. Another well-known case is that of the Social-Democratic lawyer, Ger- | hardt Joachim. Joachim was dragged out of his bed at night by a gang of uniformed Nazis under the leader- ship of a man whom I know person- elly. The police as usual did nothing. A couple of weeks later the "Ber-"| liner Tageblatt” and a number of} other newspapers published the fol- | lowing short notice: “The lawyer Gerhardt Joachim, well-known for his work on behalf of the Reichsbanner in many trials, died yesterday in hospital after a short buf seyere illness.” Torture Horrors ‘The horror behind these smug and hypocritical lines was ually pieced together.

Although there had been develop- ing increasing friction between Hit- ler and Hugenberg ever since Hitlei's accession to power, his resignation was precipitated by the memorandum which he submitted to the London Economic Conference a short while ago, demanding that Germany be given large tracts of land on her Eastern borders, particularly the Po- lish Corridor. Hugenberg also urged to imperialist delegates at the Con- i ference to begin intervention sim the Soviet Union with a special eye | to the re-division of the rich lands The Hitler government has no ob- jections to such a policy, but it re- sented Hugenberg's proposing it so openly at this time.
