A Nazi Reminder (ROM the Nazi publicity bureaus comes another press release regarding Torgler and Dimitroff. After almost a week of silence, this press release is wrung from the Nazis, as millions of workers all over the world stii' await the release of the Commu- nists acquitted of the arson charges framed up against | them, In the latest press release Torgler is quoted again as denying that he had become a Nazi. The absurdity and venality of this original rumor, deliberately spread by the Nazis to disorganize the world fight for Torgler and Dimitroff’s reléase, needs no discussion or refuta- tion, The four defendants at the Reichstag trial are Communists, men of the working class, inveterate haters and fighters of fascism. Today, it is necessary to remember that it was the Socialist Jewish Daily “Forward” that splashed this Nazi poison propaganda all over its pages. The Nazis only befoul themselves with even more of the filth of fascist perjury when they think to keep this slander alive by “reports of Torgler’s denials,” denials of something that never existed. But what these latest reports should remind us is that our heroic comrades are still in the hands of the Nazi jailers, in isolation, and subject to who knows what torture and mistreatment! The fascist murderers have been temporarily stopped in their murder plans by the power of world protest. But this by no means signifies that they have given up these plans! The grim determination of the fascist police not to release the acquitted Dimitroff, despite his acquittal, his express desire to go to Bulgaria, and the offer of safe admission made by the Soviet Government, should serve to indicate that Goering’s threat of torture and death against Dimitroff still hangs gruesomely over all the defendants. The vigilance of the toiling masses and sympathiz- ers all over the world must not relax for one moment! This is what the Fascist murderers are waiting for! All the United Front Committees against fascism and for the release of Dimitroff, Torgler, Popoff and | Taneff, should see to it that all mass Batherings of workers pass resolutions to be sent to the German Consuls. In the unions, A. F. of L., and Socialist Party locals, the question of protest for the safe release of the defendants should be raised.

French Press Praises Japan’s Aims for War on Soviet Union PARIS, Jan. 28.—A_ ten-year “non-agegression ” pact was signed on Saturday between Nazi Germany and Fascist Poland. The pact calls for direct negotiations on the bitter disputes between the two powers, but makes no reference to the fron- tier questions over which the two powers have been on the point of war more than once. The proposals for direct negotiations between the two governments eliminates the League of Nations and is another slap in the face of that almost de- funct body.

The first part of the letter was published some time ago.) c SOUTHEASTERN RAILROAD, US.S.R.—The role of the car-club is great as an agitator and organizer of the working masses. It is con- fronted with the important task of bringing up the workers in a Com- munist spirit and realizing the slogan of the cultural revolution. The car- club shows the most distant corners of our railway sections and vividly shows the aspiration of the union to raise the cultural and political level of the scores of thousands of rail- wWaymen lined up in its ranks and collective-farmers of the neighbor- ing villages. We still have too few car-clubs @mong our South-Eastern R.R., only five, However, we are fighting to make our country cultured, to make it eco- | nomically powerful and independent, and the question of increasing the number of cultural institutions, and consequently also, the number of car- clubs, is a question that will soon be solved. Already in 1933, we obtained for ‘our railroad a technical car, specially built by the car-construction plant, called after Comrade Thaelmann. We have another car—sanitation and hhygienics. There is a whole train along our railroad, which shows plays and has large numbers of actors and actresses. These are all of our cul- tural forces, but we hope in the near future to have even more, Now let us tell you briefly about our meeting. Our meeting is devoted to the finest shock-brigaders. In this way we show that we care for them. We heard a report of the chief of the brigade concerning the results of the work of the third quarter of 1933; simul- taneously, he raised before us the plan of work for the month of Sep- tember. The plan provided for re- pairing during the third quarter, 20 Kilometres of roads—by Sept. Ist, 24 kilometres were repaired, ie. the plan was fulfilled one month earlier and was outstripped by four kilo- metres. For September we were charged with the additional tasks of repairing nine kilometres (petty repairs) and nine kilometres (middle repairs). “After this the workers came out and spoke. _ Comrade Voronin said: “Our 1g Soviet Fishermen Ahead of the Quota By a Soviet Worker Correspondent MURMANSK, U.

All interfering in this, in the opinion of Minister Hirota, evidently con- tradicts the cause of peace, as he understands it. In other words, Hirota declares, in Eastern Asia peace can only be established when it is in the hands of Japanese im- perialism. “The rest of the world, except Japan will hardly agree with 'S viewpoint.” In a paragraph analyzing further part’s of Hirota’s speech regarding China, Izvestia writes: “If one translates Hirota’s words from high-flown Japanese diplomatic Janguage to ordinary languages it means a threat of Japanese action in Northern and Central China in the event the Chinese government ees on ‘mutual support and co- operation with Japan. And less in- dicative declaration of Hirota about Japan {is his observation regarding relationship between the Soviet Union and Japan were completely normal until the seizure of Manchuria, He even allows that after the seizure of Manchuria ‘there was complete un- of the mutual position between both governments.’ There is no doubt whatever that the U.S.S.R. excellently understood Japan's posi- tion. But there is room for doubt whether Japan understoood the posi- tion of the U. S. S. R. to the same extent, otherwise we cannot under- stand what Hirota’s complaint means that ‘recently the position of the Soviet Union appears to have changed regarding Japan.’ What Change? “What does this change consist of in Hirota’s opinion? He complains that the Soviet press and radio al- legedly carry information containing unfounded criticism directed against Japan, “With all respect due the minister of a great power, we cannot take this complaint about the U.S.S.R. seri- ously. In Japan articles are printed daily under the press censorship about war with the U.SS.R., and noyels are published devoted to the preparations of this war. “Discussion regarding war with the U.S.S.R. is printed in the journal “Hinoda,” participated in by Lieu- tenant General Kukutze Tanio, Lieu- tenant General Sato Kiokatze, Major General Saito, Major Horig, Major Siminara, former military attache in Russia, Major Hayachi ‘Natsuaki, studying Japanese, Soviet questions and the military writer, Hirata Sen- sakh Araki Not Backward “Ger >| ‘oeki, former war min- ster is not backward for a moment in couuu...og open, anti-Soviet propaganda.

S. S. R. ‘Change in Soviet position’ in Hirota’s opinion evidently consists of the fact that the Soviet Union does not look on war preparations with folded hands, but openly prepares for the defense of Soviet territory. Hirota Didn’t “Understand” “If Hirota considers this a change of the position of the U. S. 5. R. then we can only regret he did not at first understand the position taken by our cecuntry. “The Soviet Union could not pre- vent Japan's seizinng Manchuria be- cause this would be tantamount to a struggle for dividing Manchuria. into spheres of influence; the Soviet Union as an enemy of colonial pil- lage céuld not strive to acquire Northern Manchria. It only de- fended its lawful economic interests. “The people in the Japanese gov- ernment evidently considered this as proof of the Soviet Union’s weakness. They evidently did not understand the 16th Party Congress: “We do not want an inch of foreign soil, but we won't give up in an inch of our own.” The Soviet Union proved these words of Stalin were not only a declaration but an iron decision to be carried out by all the force of all the toilers of the U. S. S.
