It means work with your mind, with your body, with your hands, everything you have got, and it is not a sacrifice, it is a privilege, it is a great privilege to march in this class struggle of ours, to organ- ize, to build from the bottem, not to hand down from the top. And so, arrested on the night of July 2nd while accompanying a Negro woman to her home in Harlem, The capi- talist press published an item to the effect that such an order was issued. The Police Departments: denial fol- lowed a demand by the LL.D. that | this order be withdrawn. The I-L.D. pointed out that this order introduc- |ed southern Jim Crow laws into this city, and declared that it would de- fend any Negro or white worker molested under this order. “Denial that this order was issued is merely an evasion of responsibility for laying cown this Jim Crow Law. The order was given in an attempt to stop the growing unity of Negro and white workers in the struggle for the freedom of the Scottsboro Boys, and in the fight against boss- oppression,” stated the I.L.D, Further proof of the actuality of the order by the police was seen in the quizzing by a policeman Friday of Negro and white workers riding in an automobile at 34th St. and Fifth Ave. The cop lectured them on the “inadvisability” of Negro and white to mix. As an open challenge to the op- pression of the Negro race and of the white workers as well, Negro and white workers are urged by the LL.D. to keep in mind the huge Scottsboro Mass Demonstration in Union Square, Fridey, July 21, 5 p.m., and to rally to it in overwhelming num- bers.

Scong, a millionaire banker, and landowner, is the head of the Soon; Dynasty, the virtual ruling house of central China. Soong is the con- necting link between Wall Street and the Nanking regime. It is through the banks controlled by the Soongs, that financial arrangements aré made for support of the Nanking regime. He reported to his imperialist mas- ters'on the growing difficulties of the Nanking regime, and the great losses that would ensue to United States imperialism if Chiang Kai Shek's re- gime were to founder. Soon there- after, the Roosevelt government ar- ranged for a $40,000,000 loan to Chiang Kai Shek through the Recon- struction Finance “Corporation. This loan was made in the farm of cotton and wheat. There is a very interest- ing sidelight in connection with this loan. Chinese war lords usually pre- fer cash from their imperialist mas- | ters. Soong’s associates quickly over-| rame the difficulty. They proceéded to | transform the wheat and cotton into! | }cash by selling it to Japan (to be used in the further war preparations in Manchuria and the North of) China). The cold cash can then be used for graft distribution and for the purchase of arms to continue the war | against Soviet China. Boz these are but midget steps com- pared to what followed, and what is to come. The United States very soon thereafter announced and be- gan a naval building program equal- led only by the rapid naval arming during the last World War. The to- tal budget for the navy under the Roosevelt regime is now $586,447,000 —an increase of 100 per cent over that of the Hoover government, And Hoover was by no means blind to the value for Wall Street of the Chinese market. The very first allotment from the $3,309,000,000 public works fund under the industrial recovery act was the sum of $238,000,000 for the building of 34 warships. Seére- tary of the Navy, Swanson, however, did not rest there. He asked for an additional sum, of $114,000,000, He announced his naval policy to be as follows: “To create, maintain and operate a navy second to none... . To develop the Navy to'a maximum The weakening of the while ago, T. V, Soong, finance min- government as ister of the Chiang Kai Shek, Nan- V the reswt of the Jap- . To organize the Navy so that expansion only will | be necessary in the event of war . . To encourage the art of naval war- fare.” But the real significance of this feverish naval arming can be seen more openly in the featured articles of the liberal World-Telegram’s spe- cial correspondent to the Far East, Roy W. Howard, Returning to the United States after a long sojourn in the orient, which included an interview with Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Mr. Howard proclaimed that a war is rapidly brewing in the Far East for the domination of China and the only policy for Wall Stret was im- mediate arming for war. He dec- elared that “a building plan should be Isunched at once which will bring the American nayy to full treaty quota at an éarly date.” Roosevelt had already gone him one better by providing the funds for this. Howard outlined Wall tasks in China as follows: IN Manchoukuo, Japan has created another Alsace-Lor- ra'ne, from which she will never ; be ousted except by force of “Today America faces the alter- native of continuing indefinitely \s futile protest against Japan's Manchoukuoan program of ree- ognizing that other nations less content than ourselves with their Preesnt territorial boundaries are not yet prepared to accept foreign concepts of idealism if or when these concepts clash with their na- tlonalistic interests. . . . “Since it is now obvious that there is to be no peaceful restora- tion of Manchuria to China, the United States might, if approval were assured, advantageously send & commission to ascertain what, in the light of existing actualities, our future course should be with re- gard to this alleged republic being ino under the Japanese tute- aang “Amd, finally, we should imme- Street's diately commence building the Ameri navy up to treaty quota— a which could not be regarded by ghy nation ss other than the logieal to-be- result of the collapse of the anti-war and “But if today's situation teaches anything, it is that... in the Far M ° INATION |Mobilize Mighty Demo to Struggle Against East at least might still makes right...” This program for war, for imme- diate arming to win back the lost colonial plunder of American: im- perialism, drawn up by this liberal unofficial “spy of Wall Street is in full agreement with the action and policy of the Roosevelt regime. The ery that “might makes right efier all,” in the struggle over domination in the Pacific is too obvious a slogan to lead hungry masses to war, Hence the capitalist press, liberal, Demo- eratic, and Republican, fully approve of the Roosevelt war preparations, but coin new slogans.

But that alone is not sufficient. Hence it is necessary to show that Wall Strest has always been for peace and disarmament and that Japan is the aggressor. America is just forced to arm to preserve peace and let the biame be on the head of the aggres- sor, This is an old cry, and espe- cially one used by the betraying lead- ers of the Second (socialist) Inter- national in the last world war.
