POWERS FEAR
SOvIET-GERMAN
TRADE TREATY
Will Put the Finishing
Touches on Locarno

BERLIN, April 23.-The imperiaIist
powers Of Europe are bringing all pos.
sibIe pressure to keep Germany from
signing commercial treaty with the
Soviet Union.
The powers fear that this move will
put the finishing touches to the Lo-
earno pact which suffered a terrible
blow at Geneva.
British secret diplomacy is at work
in an attempt. to force Germany to
postpone the signing of the treaty.
The little entente and Poland are pre-.
pairing a direct protest against the
pact.
Foreign minister Benes of Czecho-
Slovakia, who it is believed is acting
at the direction of France, has sent a
QUESTIONABLE to the Locarno powers
asking Germany very pointedly as to
the meaning of the commercial treaty.
This action of the imperialist pow
ers and their lackeys has aroused in
dignation in Berlin. Articles are ap-
pearing in the German press denounc-
ing this "brazen interference" on the
point of the European imperialists and
calling on the government to vigor-
ously protest against this interference

Workers Unite!

THE pacifist Illusion that the league
OF nations could and would secure
peace has been destroyed. On March
II the league of nations suffered its
greatest collapse. Germany was to be-
received into the league OF nations
upon the basis of the Locarno treaty.
After days of fruitless negotiations
the Geneva sessions came to an end
and the Representatives Of the bour-
geois powers went home without hav-
ing achieved their ends. The entry
Of Germany was postponed until Sep
TENDER. The bourgeois press of the
whole world speaks with the greatest
anxiety about the defeat Of the league
OF nations. New and serious political
upheavals are before US.
Cover Up Defeat.
5iIn order to cover up the fact that
they have been defeated, and to dis
traet the awakening unity of the
working class from the Vaccinations
OF the league, the diplomats of Geneva
and tlfeir helpers in all countries are
attempting to falsify the real causes
of their bankruptcy. The bourgeois
press tries to awaken the belief that
il was only the veto of Brazil and the
quarrel about the allotment of a non
permanent seat on the council Of the
league TO Poland which was respons-
ible for the fact that Germany was
not admitted to the league council.
These statements are conscious lies.

Those responsible for the breaking
up of the negotiations in Geneva and
the stirring up of new conflicts and
dangers are the imperialist govern

imperialists interviewed in the Geneva

order to strengthen the contradictions
between the European states and to

its struggle against British imperial

The French imperialists prevented
the acceptance Of Germany because
they were bound to Poland with q

Agree to Contracts at
Old Scale

ignoring the lead given them by the
plssterers' union which IS standing
firm it its demand for a five day week
and waee-raises, the painters and
fathers have announced their readi-
ness to sign two and three year agree
ments respectively, abandon the fight
for the forty hour week and continue
at their former waee-scaTe.
Bosses Happy.
The builders associations are hail
ing these new agreements as victories
and will use them to coerce other
building trades unions into accepting
similar provisions. In the case of the
painters, a referendum vote of the
II. 900 members resulted in the accept
ance of the new agreement as stated
above that runs for two years.
Sympathetic Strike.
The painters contract with the
bosses, however, provides for closed
shop jobs and contains a sympathetic
strike clause. 1t is reported that the
sympathetic strike clause does not
appear in the lather's agreement. Both
the painters and the fathers will con-
tinue to receive $3.50 per hour. The

cided to fight for S175 per hour.

Of The DAILY WORKER an insight
into the political factors that

agreement with WI Pei-Fu, Chilli

international Press Correspondence
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., March g.
(By MaiD-England and Japan are
working to hand over Picking to Chang
Tso Lin while the United States is OF
posed to this as it fears a strength
ening of Japanese influence in China
Authentic information corroborated
from various sources shows that
Chang Tso Lin has worked out plan
of action in close collaboration with
English diplomatic representatives
should Picking fall. The chief aims of
this plan would be the suppression of
the Chinese nationalist movement and
the alteration of the policy of China
towards the Soviet Union.
Britain's Sole Aim.
England in particular insists on the
latter course and its tool Chang has
definitely proposed the dismissal Of
the Soviet ambassador Karachan and
the breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tions with the Soviet Union. Eng
land has promised Chang a large loan
on favorable conditions should this
plan succeed.
Picking circles are firmly convinced
that English Imperialism is attempt
ing to utilize the military reverses Of
the nationalist armies to realize its
plan of isolating and suppressing the
movement for the emancipation Of
China.
The seriousness of the situation is
great. The hope is expressed that
European and in particular the Brit

Seek War on Kuominchun.
The Picking and Tientsin Times de-
mands the complete humiliation of
the nationalist army as a measure to
crush the national revolutionary move
ment and to remove China from the
influence of the Soviet Union. The
newspaper declares that any compro-
mise that would leave Kalgan and
Nankow in the hands of the national
list army would prove the commencing
point for a new struggle,-the present
struggle should therefore be carried
thru to the end. 1t writes further
that the chief task of the united
forces of Chang Tso-Lin and WI Pei
Flu is the destruction of Soviet infiu-
ence and the destruction of ithe moral
and material support Of the revolu-
tionary movement.

BY ART SHIELDS.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK, April 23.-"It means a
better settlement for the strikers"
said Forrest Bailey, director Of the
American Civil Liberties Union, hail
ing the formation of Joint committee
Of all organizations that have been
supporting the gallant struggle In Pas
sale, Garfield and Clifton, New Jersey.
The joint committee unites the In
ternational Labor Defense, the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, the League
for Industrial Democracy, the Emer-
gency Committee for Strikers Relief,
the Federated Press, with the United
Front Committee of Textile Workers
and the Passaic strike relief commit
: tee in common movement for the de-
Tense of all strikers who are arrested
or who are beaten up or denied the
right to walk the streets and hold
meetings
Rejoice over United Front.
James P. Cannon, Norman Thomas,
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Robert w.
Dunn all voiced their joy that united
front movement had been formed be-
hind Il e lines for the defense of the
strikers.
There is real solidarity" said. Can
non. "a sweeping national campaign,
with all these organizations teaming
together for the New Jersey workers.

together because the strike has
reached crisis. Unity means strength.
1t means better settlement for TIE
strikers"
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. who has
-Raen seeal1ing to the strikers nearly
every day despite threats of arrest,
declared:
This means more protection to the
workers in their fight. 1t helps them
to win"
Norman Thomas, who defied the
riot act sheriff and is under $40, 900
bail. announced the purpose of form
ing the committee as follows:
1T is just plain horse sense for the
organizations which in one way or
another have become interested in
legal cases which have developed in
the Passaic strike to get together.
These various committees and organi-
cations have differences in function
and philosophy, but they are one in
seeing to it that the strongest possible
legal fight shall be made to prevent
any man from paying a martyrs price
as a result of the struggle of the work
ers in and about Passaic.
Joint Committee Eliminates Friction.
"Of the six or seven organizations
represented in the joint committee,
only two, the Civil Liberties Union
and the International Labor Defense,
are regularly equipped for handling
legal defense cases. Various cases
will be apportioned to those organiza-
lions logically. Each organization, to-
gether with the defendants concerned,
will be solely responsible for the de-
Tense of cases assigned to it. The
other organizations, like the League
for Industrial Democracy, which rep
resent, will help raise the funds and
distribute the publicity. The Emer-
gency Strikers Relief Committee will
continue its efforts to raise a sufficient
bail fund.

committee will prevent friction and
