EE Japanese War Acts VIOUSLY inspired by the Japanese government, yesterday’s dispatches from Tokyo describing con- yersations between Foreign Minister Hirota and Soviet Ambassador Yureneff, reveal one more step in the ag- Bressive and insolent policy of the Nippon militarists. Hirota, representing the forger8 of Tokyo, had the gall to complain that the Soviet Union spreads “un- confirmed” and “alarmist” rumors. The Japanese im- perialist bandits whose armies have ravaged China, whose hands are to this day dripping with the blood of Chinese workers and peasants, whose troops and peasants daily menace Soviet territory, whose Man- churian henchmen arrest Soviet citizens—these marauders have the nerve to demand that the Soviet Union shall reduce the defense of ite frontiers against their marauding expeditions, Such cynical diplomacy ts nothing unusual for im- perialism. But the growing arrogance of the Japanese mMilitarists can only mean one thing: they no longer take the trouble to conceal their preparations for war against the USSR. Indeed, i is no longer possible to mceal them. Japen’s military preparations against the Soviet Union have accum Inted te the point where énly the wilfully blind can ignore them. The flight of Japanese airplanes over Soviet territory, the plans to build four new ports f--‘ng Viadivostock across the Sea of Japan, ths purchase by the Japanese of railway ‘equipment built in Car--- which can be used ex- elusively on Soviet railways and nowhere else, these ‘and similar bellicose preparations can only mean that guns of Japanese imperialism are directed against Revolution against the attack of any imperialist power, whether in the Far East or in the West. “We do not consider Manchukuo responsible for the aggressive activities in Manchuria,” Comrade Molotoft declared Monday. “We realize Japan is the directing force. We are fully prepared for an unexpected at- tack” ‘These are sharp words, Their utterance at this time is & measure of the acuteness of the war danger. A danger that is by no means decreasing because of the | probable recognition of the U.S.S.R. by Washington. Imperialist Japan in the Far East and the imperi- alist powers of the West menace the Soviet Union. It Without significance to the revolutionary workers of | is the duty of American workers and intellectuals, through their anti-war committees and other organi- zations, to fight this menace. Let them, together with millions of workers and intellectuals in other capitalist countries and their colonies, combat with ali the power at their command any attempt by any imperialist gov- ernment to invade the land which is the vanguard of the world proletariat. ForUnemploymentInsurance failure of the NRA. bringing with it new mass * lay-offs and part-time work, places in the very center of the struggle of the whole working class the question of unemployment and social insurance. Today workers are being laid-off by the tens of thousands. Ford has laid-off half of his crew in Detroit. The linois Steel Corporation has not laid- off, but fired 3,000 workers, telling them “to return in April.” The production index of all basic industries is rapidly declining, steel being down to 25 per cent, with no prospect of an upturn, even in the minds of the steel operators, until after the new year. Reliet is being cut to the bone in every part of the country. No one can imagine in this period of the high cost of food how people can live on 85 cents a month as in some parts of “progressive Ohio.” Presi- dent Roosevelt declares that the main source of relief must be “private charity.” This means that in every shop, office and store the employers will try to force the workers to contribute out of their meager pay envelopes for their fellow-workers, ‘This raises most sharply the central issue on which | Roosevelt was elected President—the issue which he has openly betrayed—namely, memployment insurance. te 8 le ORDER to mobilize the workers for the struggle for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill and to lay the basis for the broadest campaign in every labor organization, neighborhood, etc., and to bring about greater unity of the employed and unemployed, the National Committee of Unemployed Councils, USA, is calling s National Convention against Un- employment in Washington, D. C., on January 13, 14, and 15, 1934. This Convention will be representative of all working class organizations in the country, whose main concern must be to provide security for the | workers and toiling farmers who this winter face the bitterest year of their experience. Pull details and directives of the Washington Con- vention will be published in the Daily Worker on Saturday, November 11, Every worker and working- class organization should heed this Call and see that they are represented at the National Convention.

It is none other than Mr. Leon Troteky, the “high-grade’ ideologist (counter-revolutionary) of the bour- | geoisie, It was Lenin who placed | Trotzky among such types who are “characteristic as fragments of his- torical figures and formations of yes- terday...” and declared: “Troteky loves high sounding and hollow phrases,” Why is Mr. Trotzky so respected and so highly paid ® journalist of the capitalist press? Why do his theorles and writings receive such prominence in the capitalist papers, beginning with the gutter sheets, then the New York Times, and winding | up with the liberal, well-wishing New Republic and Nation? Is if because the “cosmopolitan” press is anxious to present a “communist” viewpoint on public affairs? Not at all. It is because the capitalists know that there is not an ounce of communism in Trotzky’s writings! It is because Trotzky supplies the bourgeoisie with ® counter ~ revolutionary weapon against bolshevism, against commu- nism, Comrade Stalin in his famous let- ter, written in 1931, “On Some Ques- tions Regarding the History of Bol- shevism,” clearly revealed that} Trotakyism is not at present a. fac- tion of Communism. “Trotzkyism 4s the vanguard of the counter-revolu- tionary bourgeoisie.” In this letter | ist International is dead and | for the building of a Fourth| ational, at the very time when | Comrade Stalin wrote: “Who gave the counter-revolu- tionary bourgeoisie its intellectual weapon agalnet Bolshevism, in the form of the thesis of the impossi- bility of building socialism in our country, in the form of the thesis of the inevitability of the degen- eration of the Bolsheviks, etc. That weapon was given it by ‘Trotzkyism, The fact that all anti- Soviet groups in the U.S.S.R. in their attempts to give grounds for their arguments for the inevitability of the struggle against the Soviet Government referred to the well- known thesis of Trotzkyism of the impossibility of building socialism in our conntry, of the inevitable degeneration of the Soviet govern- ment, of the probability of the re- tarn to capitalism, cannot be re- garded as an accident. “Who gave the counter-revolu- tionary bourgeoisie in the U.S.S.R. its tactical weapon In the form of ‘ attempts at open attacks on the Soviet Government? This weapon was given to it by the Trotzkyites, who tried to organize anti-Soviet demonstrations in Moscow and Leningrad on Nov. 7, 1927. It is a fact that the actions of the ‘Trotzkyites raised the spirits of the of comnter-revolntionary sabotage bourgeoisie and let loose the work of the bourgeois specialists. “Who gave the counter-reyolu- tionary bourgeoisie an organiza- tional weapon in the form of at- temps at organizing underground anti-Soviet organizations? This weapon was given to it by the Trotzkyites who founded their own anti-Bolshevik illegal group. It is a fact that the underground anti- Soviet work of the Trotzkyites fa- cilitated the organized formation of the anti-Soviet group within the U.S.S.R.” ‘ oe | eye 1 Fae American bourgedisie, shaken | and bewildered by four years of crisis, feels compelled, to take steps leading to the recognition of the USSR. That proud and strongest of capitalist world powers, whose rep- resentatives a year ago. would not shake hands with Litvinov, will now welcome him in the White House. The ruling class in the United States must explain this about-face to the country, and its paid -ideologist, Mr. Trotzky, supplies the ‘weapon With unusual haste Mr. ‘Troteky dispatched an article to-the New Re- public tor its Noy, 1st issue, on Roosevelt’s move for Soviet recogni- tion. ‘The counter-revolutionary pur- pose and wisdom of the article is summed up in its final sentence. “If the honorable member 6f Congress (Hamilton Fish), keeps in touch with living facts, which need_no testimony of witnesses—for they speak for themselves—he must come to the conclusion that the foreign policy of the Soviet Government. no longer need create the slightest hindrance toward its recognition, not only de facto but de jure.” ~~ ‘The reason why Roosvelt moves to recognize the U.S.S.R:, according to Trotzky, is because Harn Fish is satis- fied with its foreign: poley, because, as Trotzky advises “Roesevelt and Ham Fish, “The more-decisively the Soviet Burocracy has-4ntrenched it~ self in its position as to national socialism (!), the more:-questions of international revolution” and with them the Comintern, have been rele- Mr. Trotzky Gives Comfort to Ham Fish on Soviet Union gated to the background.” It is not then the catastrophic} crisis of Amcrican capitalism, in the | face of the triumphant march of socialism in the U.S.S.R., which com- | pels the United States to seek recog- nition of the Soviet Union, but the) degeneration of the Soviet Union as the base for the world proletarian) revolution, which makes it possible | and feasible for the United States) to recognize the Soviet Union. Such | is the “thesis” in Trotzky's article. The American press takes its cue| from Trotzky. To mention one rep- | resentative voice, Walter Lippman, | who states: “President Roosevelt is| dealing with a different Russian government from the Russian gov- ernment that President Wilson re- fused to recognize.

TROTZKY AND LIPP- MAN HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUESTION OF REC- OGNITION OF THE U.S.S.R. Now let us see: When Hughes was Secretary of State, he solemnly de- clared that American capitalism is against recognition because “Russia is an economic vacuum.” Coolidge, in his own cunning way, piously de- clared that he would “not barter away, for the privilege of trade, any of the cherished rights of humanity.” He spoke further against “the re- gime which refuses to recognize the sanctity of international obligations.” Is it not the ruthless struggle car- ried on by Lenin and Stalin against Trotzky’s policies of Permanent Rev- olution—that socialism cannot be built in gne country—which made it possible for the Soviet Union after years of civil war, blockade, hunger and intervention, that the country of an “economic vacuum” should be- come the only country in the world where there is no crisis and where socialist prosperity 1s growing? It is not the heroic struggle for the carrying out of the Five-Year Plan, which you, Mr. Trotaky, and your capitalist journalist colleagues declared doomed to failure, but which actually strengthened the Soviet Union as the fortress of the world proletarian revolution, and made the Soviet Union independent of the capitalist world? Is it not this which Recognition makes American capitalism, cornered ARE LEFT OUT—THE PRESENT WORLD CRISIS OF CAPITALISM | by the devastating crisis, ready to “barter away its pride for the. privi~ . lege of trade” with the Soviet Union? Is it not the triumphs of the peace policy of the Soviet Union, in the face of daily diplomatic intrigues and war threats amongst the imperialists, accompanied by the strengthening of the Red Army that brought about a change in the strategy of war-ag- gressive American capitalism on the question of the recognition of the USSR? It is the growth. of Sociaiism in the Soviet. Union which strene hened | the international position of the So- viet Union, that compelled’ American capitalism in. the midst of the crisis | to take steps to recognize the U. 8. 8. R. The Amefican masses suffering from the crisis see in the recognition of the Soviet Union the growing strength of the Soviet Union as @ SOCIALIST country. The American ruling class ideologists who preach the superiority of the capitalist sys- tem with its years of crisis, hunger and unemployment ate ordered to explain recognition in such a manner as to cover up the crisis of the capi- talist system and deny the growth of Socialism in the Soviet Union. And here Trotzky, that able counter- revolutionary ideologist. of the bour- geoisie, supplies the weapon: If Ham Fish can he satisfied with the “CHANGED” foreign policy of the USSR., why not Roosevelt? . 8 Tn our next articles we will discuss the foreign policy of the USSR., Trotzky’s slanders against the Com- intern and his counter-revolutionary | poverty, famine, suicide.

Outstripping the Capitalists “The entire capitalist world,” Izves~ tia says, “has been following that struggle. The bourgeoisie hoped for our defeat—and was. wrong, again. The collective farms have se¢ured a splendid carrying out of the sow= ing campaign and a good harvest, The first year of the second Five~ Year Plan is proceeding with rein- forced energy and success. We are not only catching up with, we are outstripping the capitalist world.
