TROTSKY TALKS
ON JAP AN, U. S.
and CAPITALISM
Europe Rotting Under
Capitalist Rule

MOSCOW.-So long as the ruling
class in the United States is unfriend-
ly or contemptuous in its dealings
with the yellow races, it tremendous
ly heightens the dangers to world
peace, according to Leon Trotsky who
has returned to Moscow after nursing
his health for many months.
"War between, the United States
and Japan is not impossible" says
Trotsky, but it can be avoided if the
anti-imperialist groups in both coun-
tries assert themselves. ct must be
admitted, however, that both these
mighty capitalistic states are separat-
ed by many hostile interests"
In the opinion Of Trotsky, the 1928
earthquake has by no means put an
end to Japanese Imperialism I'm
perialism depends upon the social
structure of a state" observed Trot-
sky, land not upon its geological for
nation"

attempt to treat the Japanese peo-
pie as an inferior race, the Japanese
may expect always to find in Russia a
true, steadfast and unselfish friend.
The concept of superior and inferior
races reflects the conceit of the rul-
ing classes of old Europe, which dates
back to time when Asia was still
fast asleep. Asia has now awakened.
And if Europe continues much longer
to rot under the conditions brought
about by the peace of Versailles, the
center of historical development will
definitely be shifted to America and
Asia.
Normal and lasting relations be-
tween the Union of Soviet Republics
and Japan can and will, sooner or
later be established on the basis of
equality and, Of course, not at the
cost of third party like China"

BRITISH COMMUNISTS
DENOUNCE BETRAYING
LABOR GOVERNMENT
Especial to The Daily Worker

MANCHESTER, Eng, May 22.-
The British Communist party now
holding its annual congress here,
has passed a resolution denouncing
the labor government of England.
Macdonald and his cohorts were
called handbags" to the king for
their vicious reactionary sIavishness
to the rule Of things as they are.
The "Iabor" government was called
"the willing tool and accomplish Of
the capitalist expIoiters," and was
denounced for it's "faithIessness and
treachery to the working class"

FROST FREEZES
WASH|NCTON'S
FRUIT H 0 PES
Farmer-Labor Party
Thrives On Blight
Especial to The Daily Worker)

ASFVStNt " ttC 0ouY WHOFNGFy
WALLA WALLA, Wash, May o.
The Farmer-Labor Party in this dis
trict is pushing it's fight on benalf of
the stricken farmers of this state,
since the late heavy frost killed from
so to so per cent OF the fruit crop,
from which so much had been ex-
pected.
Population Departs.
Southeastern Washington has seen
high costs and low prices for three
years now. Some fruit was canned
but much could not be, nor could it
be sold for enough to pay transporta-
ton charges. Wheat costs more to
raise than it sold for and thousands
of acres of wheat lands have not been
planted this year.
Walla Walla had 10000 population
by the 1910 census, only $4,000 in
1920, and since then conditions have
grown steadily worse.
Eight Men Buried Alive"
The leading business of the town is
the State Penitentiary, one Of the
worst prison hells in America, where
the victims of the Centralia frameup
are held. The state politicians who
are running the place are anxious to
put in contract labor system which
will increase their loot. The labor
movement has so far prevented it. A
start was made and then abandoned.
The prisoners are held idle in their
cells most of the time, and fed on
rotten food. The prison administra-
ton has changed four times in four
years, and as each new set Of Off
Gals have been getting their share Of
what was coming to them, conditions
have grown steadily worse. Another
riot is not improbable if conditions
get much worse and the food much
viler. Such a riot occurred some
years. ago and after three days Of it
the townspeople interferred. 1t was
caused by rotten conditions, which
were then bettered little.
In this town members of the Amer
lean Legion prevented radical mem
Der of the grange from speaking in
1920, while farm worker who advo-
Gated higher wages at the time, was
tarred and feathered.

DECISIONS OF CENTRAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF THE WORKERS PARTY

At a meeting Of the Central Execu-
tive Committee, May 14th, the follow
ing decisions were made:
Farmer-Labor Assessment.
1t was decided in view Of the lack
of funds to carry on the party work
effectively at the present time and
the failure of the Farmer-Labor Cam
paign Fund to bring in the necessary
money to carry on the present party
work, to levy an assessment of soc
per member in order to meet the ex-
penses of the campaign in con
nection with the June 18th conven-
ton.
Italian Daily.
The question of publication of the
Italian Daily "Il Lavoratore" was dis
cussed with the Committee Of the
Italian Section, and the Italian Bureau
was authorized to proceed with the
publication of the Daily when a GER
tain sum was on hand.
American Imperialism.
The Committee discussed the ques-
ton Of Pan-American Imperialism and
the organization of a Pan-American
Communist Bureau and Congress in
the light of a report made by Com
rade Jay Lovestone, who attended the
convention of the Mexican Commun-
list Party as the representative of the
Workers Party. Decisions were made
covering the work of organizing an
immediate temporary bureau and a
later Congress of all Pan-American
Parties.
Philippine independence.
Committee discussed the progress
of our campaign in support Of indie
pendence of the Philippine Islands
and adopted program of party work
in support of the struggle of the work
ers and farmers of the Philippines
against the American capitalists as
well as the Philippine exploiters. The
program will be published in the par
ty press.
Greeting to British Communist Party.
Committee authorized the Executive
Secretary to send greetings to the
convention of the Communist Party
of Great Britain which began on May
18th.
Small Businessmen as Party Members.
Following motion to govern the ac-
ceptance of small business men as
Party members was adopted by the
Committee: "That all small business
men as such must be excluded from
the party, but great care must be ex-
ercised- in passing upon such appli-
us. While we can accept work
ers as members of the party who are
not yet thoroly grounded in Commun-
list principles, non-workers can only
be accepted as members if they have
a fundamental grasp of Communist
principles and show in their attitude
a desire to work and a readiness to
make sacrifices for those principles
even at the expense of their economic
interest.
under no circumstances can we
accept as members of our party, en-
ployers who are in conflict or who
have the reputation of engaging in
conflicts with workers whom they en-
ploy.

Lexington and Concord where the
FIRST shot for liberty on this contin.
