French spokes- men at the conference state that they do not believe anything can be @ained by carrying on the trade war through inflation. They correctly see that the advantages in trade gained by Britain and Japan, the two countries that early resorted to in- flation, canot be realized when all countries resort to the same meas- ures, hence they have proceeded to further tariff boosts Before the French chamber of de- Puties adjourned last Saturday night for the summer idays a bill was rushed through r reasing the ex- isting tariff rates from 30 to 150 per cent in 64 c: ‘ories of imports, mostly those from the United States.

These capitalist trustees are given supreme authority to fix all wages and ‘conditions of work, and to use the police to enforce their decisions.

Inner Rifts Sharpen Nazi ‘Drive on the Workers By F, BRAND BERLIN—This past week there Nas been a definite increase of the po- litical tension in Germany along the whole line and it is probably the pre- lude to new big actions on the part of the Nazis. The National Socialist offensive against the Hugenberg front has been resuscitated with great energy. In Dortmund and in Hagen-Westphalia the German Na- tionalist fighting organizations (‘Kampiring”) have been dissolved by Nationa! Socialist police presidents on the ground that they consisted to 75 per cent of “Marxist elements,” although the real reason is that the of these organizations following on the secession of the “Kampfring” leaders Gisevius and Flume to Hitler have not been fulfilled. In the Ruhr district a Teaflet is- sued by the “Stahlhelm Self-defence,” the factory organization of the Stahl- jissue of “The Longshoreman.” ‘helm, has been confiscated by the | “At the shape-up,” says the lead- | police and a number of the meetings ing article in this paper, “ask your|of the organization have been pro- fellow workers what they think) hibited.

This campaign is now being con- | ducted in the factories, but in all probability it will soon take place before a broader public.

In Silesia and in the Ruhr district speakers have been arrested at German Nationalist party meet- ings for haying expressed opinions hostile to the Nazis. Social Democrats Cringe ‘The Nazi leaders are following the discussions in the German Social- Democratic Party closely. On the one hand they attack the emigrated par- ty leaders sharply as “traitors” and on the other hand they are bullying and attacking the open fascist group in the S.D.P. around Loebe in order to jockey it forward and accelerate the disruption. Like the cowed mongrels that they are, both Ebert and Loebe immedi- ately published the required declara- tions and promised the “official” de- cision for a split for the next few days. And in the meantime Goering has released the arrested A.D.G.B. (German Trdde Union Federation) leaders Leipart and Grassmann in order that they shall go to the as- sistance of the Loebe group, whilst at the same time a number of so- cial-democratic leaders have been ar- rested who were known to belong to the central committee group’ or even te a “left-wing” opposition, But more important than all these inner-political conflicts with Hugen- berg, with the Center Party and with the wreckage of the S.D.P. is the new intensification of the campaign of persecution and oppression against the class-conscious workers and their leader, the Communist Party. Fol- lowing on a series of bloodthirsty threats to the effect that should Marxism again attempt to raise its head in Germany it would be finally exterminated, the new offensive then set in with all severity. Whip-up Anti-Red Feeling Mass arrests are being conducted all over the country every day, whilst a6 the same time the Nazi press is attempting to whip up the necessary public feeling with scare reports about “Communist arms dumps,” “dynamite outrages,” etc. However, it must be pointed out. that the Nazis are not’ succeeding in pro- ducing anything like the mass cam- paign of incitement which followed | te the struggle of the Communist Party against fascism is increasing. An infallible sign for this is the increasing circulation of the illegal “Rote Fahne” and of the other ille- gal mass literature of the Communist | Party. Tens of thousands of workers who formerly took no active part in our struggle now eagerly take every shred of Communist material | they can obtain and take a system- | etic part in’ the work of distributing jour illegal literature.

Every feeeaatee reached a figure of 150,000. Fascist terror justice is daily ex- ceeding itself by passing ever more draconic sentences on revolutionary | workers, A few weeks ago the pun- ishment for distributing illegal Com- munist literature was about six months’ imprisonment, but today not one of those workers found with a! his or her possession gets off with less than 18 months’ imprisonment. A series of terrific sentences up to 15 years’ hard labor have followed on the death sentences in Chemnitz and Altona, and every day new and still more terrible sentences are being pro- nounced. Fascist class justice is try- ing to sow fear and panic in the ranks of the revolutionary working class with this terror. But this, too, reveals how the situation has changed since March and April. These terri- fic sentences are not having the de~ sired’ effect; on the contrary, they are increasing the hatred of broader and broader sections of the people against the fascist murder é We are able to observe daily that de- copy of the illegal “Rote Fahhe” in| day there are new terrific sentences. | But that was the end of it.

CHINESE SEAMEN NEW YORK—The Chinese crew on the Grace Line Company liner, “Santa Elena,” after a partial vic- tory in a recent struggle against slug- ging of the crew, are consolidating their organization. When the captain, John Nelson, failed to victimize three of the crew whom he considered to be leaders before the boat sailed from San Francisco, he centered his attack on one of the pantrymen. He has in- creased the burden of his work, forced him to wash wine glasses, the job usually done by the dishwasher, and other burdensome tasks. The stewardess is acting as the cats’s paw for the captain in all these acts. The victimized seaman refused to do work which is not required of him as a pantryman. He was even more stubborn and determined in his re- sistance when the stewardess threat- ened to have the captain resort to disciplinary measures. But the cap- tain has not daredto take such measures because of the militancy and solidarity of the entire re | crew. ‘The Marine Workers’ Industrial Union of New York is preparing to carry on a fight against this victim- ization. When the ship arrives here | on Tuesday a committee will be sent to see the crew, to work out the con- ‘ crete demands for presentation to the | captain and the company. The Chinese section of the Union ; is now mobilizing the Chinese sea- men in New York in support of the struggle. They wili also carry on the fight against a seamen’s boarding house master, “Hainan Fu,” an agent, of the Grace Line Company. “Hai- nan Fu” not only takes $3 from every seaman who signs up with the y through him for every trip, but also helps the company to in- timidate the Chinese seamen into accepting the intolerable » conditions of work, and the yellow-doz contract.

Feng Yu-hsiang has ordered one of his sub- fordinate war lords, Feng Chen-wu to | put up the appearance of battling - SOLIDIFY GAINS | against Manchukuo troops to recap- ture Dolonor, in Chahar Province, 200 miles northeast of Kalgan, the seat of Feng Yu-hsiang’s army. Cha- han Province is located about 100 miles northwest of Peiping and is the most important gateway from Mongolia to the sea. It is strateg- ically situated near the Peoples Re- public of Outer Mongolia. Japan re- gards Chahar as an important port for war against the Soviet. Union. A report from. Dolonor says that Feng’s troops clashed with Japanese- supported forces at Papashienko, just south of Dolonor. This sham hattle was ordered to emphasize Feng Yu-hsiang’s assumed role as the defender of China's in- tegrity against Japan. At the same time, General Feng takes onto his general staff Japanese supported war-lords of Shantung. Nanking Truce * The Nanking government has sign- ed a truce with Japan acknowledging Japanese domination in Manchuria and a large sltce of North China. The * Chiang Kai Shek government, by all means, sought to prevent the devel- opment of a nationwide resistance in the form of a people’s war, which would as one of its first steps, wipe out the control of Nanking. Realizing the deep hatred, of the Chinese people against all imperialist 1 | penetration, General Feng, known as 4 the “Christian” general, saw the op- portunity of building up his dwindl- ing forces by demagogically appealing for a war against Japan, when he himself is a paid tool of Japanese im= perialism. It is to the interest of Japanese imperialism to retain~the support of Feng in the Northwestern section of China near Manchukuo and the People’s Republic of Outer Mongolia. To give the “Christian” general the reputation of actually be- ing a fighter, the Japanese carefully spar with him near Dolonor, when | everybody here knows withov’\ much effort: they could. if the bat: } were serious, completely wipe out h_ forces, Genoyal Feng has been off the Position of “Director Gener: Fore estry,” by the Nanking go) ts, though there are. practically for- ests in China.
