But this war gathering is not an isolated event, as news from all other parts of the world show. Imperialist armies and navies are being rushed to Singapore, China, Manchuria. Japanese imperialism, according to the admissions of former French Prime Minister Eduoard Her- riot, writing in the French commer- cial newspaper “Agence Economique | et Finance,” is concentrating troops | ana supplies in Manchuria with a) view to war against the Soviet Union. | At the same time, Herriot sees a| flgre-up of conflict between the| United States and Japan for Far| astern domination. | Squabble Over Date | In Japan, the feudal-landlord-im- | perialist groups are squabbling over | the exact date and methods of this war. Minister of War Araki has} stepped out of office to make way for | the more reactionary—though Araki | himself has been relentless in the| rapid preparation for war against the U.S.S.R.—military leader, General Senjuro Hayashi. London dispatches to New York newspapers provocatively declare that the Soviet Union, is rushing war sup- plies to the Far East, to protect its boundaries. But_these cable.stories fail to mention the imperialist drive of Japan in Manchuria and Mongolia, “In the Spring” The London dispatch concludes with the alarming report that there | will be war in the Far East in the spring: re “Well-informed opinion in Lon- don and other European capitals | takes a gloomy view of coming | events in the Orient.

Significant of the government’s at- titude the demonstration was permit- ted to proceed without interference | from the police, which viciously at- tacked demonstrations by Japanese workers for the defense of the Soviet Union and against the war policy of Japanese imperialism.

Cuban Strikes Continue as Masses Resist Ter- ror of Reaction WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Presi- ‘dent Roosevelt moved with lightning speed today to extend U. S. recog- nition to the Mendieta government in Cuba in an attempt to bolster up that reactionary government. Rep- resentatives of the governments of South and Central American coun- tries were notified of Roosevelt's decision as the Wall Street govern- ment tried to line up its puppets in those countries behind the Mendieta government. The Mendieta government came into power following a coup engi- neered by the reactionary A. B. C. group, aided by Jefferson Caffery, Roosevelt’s personal representative in Cuba, and by Col. Batista, Chief of Staff of the Cuban Army and proba- bly the most hated man in Cuba today. It represents the united front of most of the local reactionary ele- ments rallying around U. S. imperial- ism against the heroic revolutionary struggles of the Cuban toiling masses and students who, under the leader- ship of the Communist Party, are fighting for the revolutionary way out of imperialist and native bour- geois-landlord exploitation, increas- ing mass misery and hunger. The Washington government had pre- viously refused to recognize the Grau San Martin government as no$ re- actionary enough for its purposes. Aare emery HAVANA, Jan. 22—The Mendieta government, established with the aid of U. S. imperialists, moved today to strengthen its reactionary base by. releasing 77 Machado army officers who were involved in the National Hotel plot to re-establish the Macha- dists in control of Cuba. Secretary of War Gradados announced a sim- ilar number will be freed tomorrow. Colonel Batista, Cuban Army Chief of Staff, is reported to have reserved 150 positions in the army for the Machadist officers “whose good rec- ords warrant thelr rejoining the army.” | WASHINGTON, D.

Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Wil- liam C. Bullitt, in a speech declared that the Soviet Union had demon- strated to the entire world its peace policy, a foreign office spokesman to- day protested against the speech as a “provocation.” Ambassador Bullitt’s speech, which was the target of the Japanese for- eign office, was made in Philadelpnia and dealt with the growing danger of war in the Far East. Bullitt said that the Soviet Union through its non- anese war preparations in the Far East against the Soviet Union, ad the growing danger of war. It has become a routine matter for the foreign office to brand all state- ments of other capitalist spokesmen, admitting the Soviet Union's peace efforts, as “provocations.” Relief Workers Union Is Formed in Dayton, Ohio DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 22.—Workers on C.W.A. jobs, with the help of the Unemployed Councils, have formed a Relief Workers’ Protective Associa- tion in their struggle against discrim- ination and lay-offs, The workers are demanding $18 minimum for a 30-hour week, union wages to apply for skilled workers; free transportation to and from the job; jobs or cash relief for all un- employed; and no discrimination, After an elected committee had presented the workers’ demands to the C.W.A. officials, they succeeded Reject Scab Order Of UMWA Officials TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 22.— United Mine Worker officials of Dis- trict 11 have ordered 350 striking miners of the Kings Mine local to stop their strike and return to work immediately.

The miners are on strike, demand- ing reinstatement of five miners, dis- charged because they were indicted on the charge of “riot.” The miners were arrested last September, when mine strikers forced scabs to leave technical charge of being away from work for two days without reasonable excuse. The strikers refuse to obey the or- ders of their strikebreaking officiais and demand the five discharged and convicted miners be reinstated.
