R., Aug. 18 (By Cable).—On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Aviation and Chemical Society, millions of workers and peasants of the Soviet Union to- day observed Civil Aviation * Day. Celebrations took place in the cities, towns and villages, including mass meetings, parades and air shows. The Soviet Press devoted much space to the problems of civil aviation, point- ing out the impressive successes scored in the last few years, yet stressing the need for further extension and mastery of technique. An editorial in “Pravda” today states: “So-called ‘Civil’ Aviation under capitalism serves the needs of war, exploitation and enslavement. In the hands of the capitalists and land- is no accident that the cyclone of the economic crisis. which devastated whole domains of capitalist ‘econo- mics has not affected war industry, including airplane production, On the contrary, the military aviation industry is being extended, producing perfected bomb carriers, scouting-and combat airplanes. Even the proportion of so-called ‘Civil’ ‘air- planes produced in capitalist coun- tries is built so as to make them available for war purposes, “Civil Aviation in the Proletarian State serves the aims.of Socialism, strengthening the Proletarian Dicta- torship, and is a weapon in the build- ing up of Socialism. The airplane finds ever wider application in our agriculture. Airplane-sowing is be-.) coming a standard method in cer- tain branches of agriculture.

But let imperialist robbers attempt to encroach on Soviet soil and they will learn that ‘Every propeller breathes safety to our frontiers.’ Air Transport Nearly Tripled “The progress of Civil Aviation is reflected in figures, showing 200,000 acres of air-sown area in the cur- rent year with an area double that scheduled for next. year. The pro- gram of Civil Air Transportation for 1933 provides three and a half mil- lion kilometer tons, with this sched- ule carried out 98 per cent in the first seven months. Last year, the kilometer tonnage was only one and a half million. “In 1923, the first year of Civil Aviation, the U. S. S. R. had 1,600 kilometers in transport air lines. This year it has over 51,000. In 1933, nearly a million acres were. treated for pests by airplanes, ‘The U.S.S.R. now takes second place in world civil aviation transport, yet the develop- forces.

More than 200 villages have been swept away in the past two days by the further rush of the floodwaters near the Honan-Hupei border, Scores of further counties will be inundated in the next few days if any further breaks occur. The cities of Tingto and Shanhsien are under water, and the tide is approaching Suchow, an important city occupying the old bed of the river, which it abandoned 81 years ago for a new bed leading t~ an outlet 300 miles! north of the old.

Charges were made here that the revisionist Jewish Fascists have or- ganized a terroristic party to fight against workers’ representatives in Palestine, to drive the Arabians out of participation in the government, and to promote mass emigration of Arabs. ROME, Aug. 20.—Benito Mussolini’s paper, “Il Populo d'Italia” yesterday advocated revisionism for Palestine, including mass deportation of Arabs, and Jewish» autonomy without the present British mandate. Japan Hits Back at Britain With Plans for Hot Trade War TOKIO, Aug. 20.—The starvation wages of Japanese workers are the weapon the Japanese government and the big Japanese industrialists will use for a ruthless trade war against Great Britain, it was an- nounced here yesterday. The trade war is in retaliation for Great Britain’s denouncing of the Indian-Japanese trade agreement, and its raising of tariffs against Jap- anese exports. Under the leadership of the power- ful house of Mitsui, and with the help of the Ministry of Commerce, the Japanese will make a special drive to capture m.rkets wnich are now controlled by Great Britain, by under- selling and other means. The Ministry of Commerce an- nounced it would ask for several mil- lion yen in the next budget for pro- motion of Japanese trade in British markets. South America is especially aimed at, and a group of trade ex- perts is leaving for that continent soon to attempt to develop new trade. Gandhi Resumes Fast, Reported GettingWeak POONA, India, Aug. 20—Having once halted his hunger strike after receiving small concessions from the Bombay government, Mahatma Gandhi changed his mind and res- sumed it, announcing again that he would fast “until death.” He was said to begin to show signs of weak- ness today.

F. C. by tell- ing them to “remember the ideals of your forefathers,” failed.

A promise to handle needy relief cases brought for- ward by the Council was also forced from them, The Unemployed Council is making a drive for 10,000 signatures to a “Petition for a New Deal.” The recent strike victory of 3,000 R.

Austria Considers Diplomatic Break With Germany Dollfuss Confers With Mussolini on New Pact VIENNA, Aug. 20.—The possibility of a diplomatic break between Austria and Germany was foreshadowed here yesterday, as Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss rushed by plane to Rome to confer with Benito Mussolini. ‘The Austrian Minister to Germany, Stephen Tauschitz, is back in Vienna, and the Germ-1 Minister of Austria, Dr. Kurt Rieth, left today for Berlin. It was reported that Austria would ask Sir Eric Phipps, British Ambas- sador in Berlin, to look after Austria's interests in Germany. Meanwhile, Dollfuss was in Rome conferring with Mussolini over the | central European pact which the Italian premier is pressing, and which would create greater unity between Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Roumania and Jugoslavia, as a meas~- ure directed toward the political and economic isolation of Germany. New ‘“Anti-Japanese” General in Chahar SHANGHAI, Aug. 20.— Following the abandonment of Dolon Nor in Chahar province by General Feng Hu-hsiang, after his pretended oppo- sition had given the Japanese army an excuse to penetrate further west toward Mongolia and the Soviet Union, another Chinese puppet of Japan has taken over his role. This is Fang Chen-wu, who an- nounces himself as commander in chief of the forces which Feng aban- doned. This supplies the Japanese with a further reason for moving troops westward. Anti-Japanese partisan detach- ments are reported to have been raid- ing Japanese centres in Manchukuo. A report from Mukden says that Japanese and Manchukuoan troops engaged a force of partisan rebels near Antung, killing 80 men and cap- turing a quantity of arms. tha International Labor De- yn, “All day on the Hudson,” Be there with all your Final Draft of Workers’ Relief Ordinance Made 410 Delegates from 245 Organizations Present Draft; Minor Speaks NEW YORK.—Four hundred and ten delegates representing 245 om ganizations attended the Conference Against Evictions and Relief Cuts The conference was called to discuss the draft of the Workers’ Relief Ordinance drafted at the June 3 conference. Earlier in the day the delegates presented amendments proposed by organizations and _ the |committee formulated changes and presented them for the delegates consideration. These changes were thoroughly discussed point by point.

La Guardia, Fusion Candidate and Solomon, Socialist candidate for Mayor were ‘also in- vited but did not appear. In his speech, Minor pointed out that the bosses refuse to give the workers Unemployment Insurance and ine stead “they make us beg for ree lief at the Homg Relief Bureaus to make our lives as miserable ag possible.” He showed several methods by which the money for the Workers Relief Ordinance could be raiseda by eliminating tax-exempt réal ese tate property; by a steep up-grad@ income tax; and by a reduction of wages of officials to that of an ordinary worker. Local 2 and 8 of the Workers Committee on Unemployment were present at the conference. despite the ultimatum of their Central Ex- ecutive body against any. united | front actions. fter exposing the tactics of the Socialist Party lead- ership tactics against unity, Minor concluded by saying: “I want to hold out the hand of comradeship to the workers of. the Socialist Party who are here today at this conference.” ‘Relief Cut Again Despite Price Rise Says Welfare Group No Jobs Makes Million Dollar Slash Unjusti- fied, Says Letter : NEW YORK.—Relief for the city was cut $1,085,000 despite the absence of re-employment, and rising prices, the Co-ordinating Committee on Un- employment of the Welfare Council stated in a letter to the Relief Ad- ministration yesterday. The Welfare Council declares this relief slash to be “wholly unwarrant- | ed.” The need for more relief in fact is increasing due to the rapid rise in prices. At the present time, the letter points out, relief cases are being dropped at the slightest sign of any income whatever in the family. This is true even if the father earns some pennies shining shoes, Practically no rents are being paid. The average amounts of relief per family was- $25.91 in May, $27.50 in June, and $21.39 in July. These amounts were declared by the Welfare Council to be “far from adequate.” Nazi Apology Offered for Beating American BERLIN, Aug.

The mutiny is reported to have started as a protest against the tac- tics of the new deputy sheriff, O. C. Hendricks. Brushy Mountain prison is one of the most hazardous in the country, an official investigating committee re- porting in 1931, that if a fire broke out, which was held likely, a trag- edy would occur “the like of which has probably never been seen in an American prison.” The Committee likewise found 138 suffering from influenza and pneumonia out of 800 inmates with no effort made to segregate the sick from the well. the performance of a squadron of 25 was a feature of the afternoon pro- gram in the Gorki Park of Culture planes which formed the Russian let- ters for “U.S.S.R.” in the sky, “They have a little shack called the pest house,” continued the report, But Jail Horrors Remain Revolt Broken, “which could not possibly accommo- date more than three beds and that was not even in use.” " a Between 1928 and 1930, there were at Brushy Mountain prison, 42,864 hospital cases out of not more than an average of 800 prisoners at. any one time, according to Walter Wile son's recent book, Forced Labor in the United States (International Publishers) of which excerpts. .ap- peared in the Daily Worker.
