Hands Off China
Slogan For Huge
Union So. Rally

The mass protest demonstration to
be held Saturday at noon at Union
Square, for Hands of China and for
the withdrawal of American battle-
ships, marines and sailors from Chi
nese waters comes at a time when
American warships and marines are
massed in the Hudson river.
The danger Of war is real. The
army recruiting agencies are busy
trying to enlist soldiers to fight on
foreign soil for the right of Amer
lean bankers to make superprofits
out of the Chinese people. Leaflets
have been issued by the Recruiting
Stations stating the benefits to be
derived by joining the army - beau
tiful trips, seeing the world, escaping
cold climate, building up health.
The Hands Off China Committee,
representing labor, liberal and anti
imperialist organizations, feels it is
high time that the American people
made their voices heard on this mat
ter that a stop be put to events
that are leading to another World
War. It has therefore called for the
open air demonstration on Saturday
so that there could be no doubt how
the American people stand on this
question.
All roads - for workers and pro-
gressive and those who are opposed
to a World War - lead to Union
Square on May 7 at IL noon.

HiRdOOS Win Back
Rights as Citizens
After Stiff Fight
(By Federated Press).

A preliminary victory has been
gained by the India Freedom Founda-
ton in its fight for the restoration
Of citizenship rights to Hindoos re-
siding in the United States. The de-
partment Of justice has just notified
its attorney that the Hindoos whose
citizenship papers have been can
celled would be restored to full rights
and proceedings against others would
be dropped.
This ruling affects the SO Hin
docs who had citizenship papers prior
to 1928 when Supreme Court Justice
Sutherland ruled that the people Of
this race were not whites" in the
popular sense of the word and there
fore were ineligible to citizenship.
They formerly were admitted as mem
bers of the Aryan race.
The two or three thousand remain
ing Hindoos in this country are still
ineligible to citizenship. The India
Freedom Foundation is supporting

REPUDIATED BY
ADMINISTRATION
Drafted Threatening
Note to China
(By A Staff Correspondont.)

WASHINGTON, May resi-
dent Coolidge, thru his alter
ego, 1.-THE White, House 81 5man,"
informed the press that he knew of
no threatening note that the Great
Powers had drafted in reply to the
answer of the Cantonese to the
original complaint Of the powers. In
a vague, uncertain manner, he added,
that the representatives Of these
powers in Picking may have formu-
lated such a communication, but that
he knew nothing of it.
Exactly three hours later, from an
unimpeachable source, it was ascer-
tanned that the state department had
been in possession of the note for
several weeks, and that it was Presi-
dent Coolidge's and Secretary KEEL
logg's tinnidity about joining in the
drastic action it urged that had halt
ed its presentation to the Cantonese.
The informant, an internationally
known member Of Congress, declared
that he had read the note and had
been shocked by its harshness. He
was shown the document by Secre-
tary of State Kellogg, as well as a
letter discussing the project, written
by the American minister to China,
MacMurray.

From this source il was also

Just how authentic the rumors Of
peace may be was not determined by
the committee of workers on Tuesday
night because the subcommittee,
whom they were to visit, postponed
its meeting until Friday. No doubt
Matthew VOLTS temper was not only
tried by this peace talk-in spite of
all his efforts to dissolve, expel,
smash, and exterminate the Joint
Board of the Furriers' Union-but he
was annoyed Ito say the least) about
the agreement signed by the trim
ming manufacturers with the Joint
Board. In his attempt to minimize
the tremendous Importance Of this
break in the ranks of the manufac-
turers, Woll characterized the pact
as a sign of weakness on the part of
the Joint Board. No one knows bet
ter than he what a sign Of strength
it, actually is.
Employers Notified.
Formal notification Of the new
agreement was received yesterday by
members Of the Fur Trimming Manu-
facturers' Association, and a member
ship meeting is to be called within a
short time. The new agreement pro-
vides that any additional workers en-
gagged in the trimming shops shall be
workers affiliated with the Joint
Board. There shall be no discrimina-
ton against right wing workers who
are at present employed in the shops.
Matthew Vol was again a witness
yesterday at the hearing on alleged
bribery of the police during the fur
strike. This was resumed before
Magistrate Corrigan in the Criminal
Courts Building, and Vol, Edward F.
McGrady, Hugh Frayne and Hen
rietta Holden, stenographer to
Frayne, were brought back to testify
in reply to the accusations of a
frame-up which were made by the
members of the Joint Board.
Vol declared that all these charges
of frame-up were entirely untrue.

Party Convention Calls
For Aiming Workers
(CabIe to the Daily Worker).

(Cable to the Daily WOrker)-
MEXICO CITY, May 4.-Support
for the Gales government against
the forces of domestic reaction and
Yankee imperialism was urged upon
the workers and peasants today in
manifesto drawn up by the conven-
ton of the Communist Party of Mex
leo.
Characterizing the Gales regime as
petty bourgeois, and vacillating be-
tween the native reactionary groups,
foreign capital and the workers and
peasants, the Communist Party new
ertheless declared that the danger Of
"a counter-revolutionary effort de-
manded support for the government.
The government is menaced by the
military, reactionary and counter-re-
volutionary elements in Mexico, con-
tinues the manifesto, while certain
American oil interests are trying to
establish a reactionary dictatorship
which will destroy the workers and
peasants movement.
Morones Attacks Unions
While the government illates,
the party points out, the Mexican
Federation of Labor (CROM) under
the leadership Of Luis Morones, is
permitted to carry on brutal attacks
against the autonomous unions. This
action on the part of the GROIN may
even force many elements to support
the reaction in the attempt to over
throw Gales.
"The Communist Party of Mexico, ?"
the manifesto concludes, calls upon
the workers and peasants to form de-
Tense committee in factories, in the
unions and in the towns, and calls
upon the workers and peasants to
arm to defend the government. It
appeals for postponement of the
election until the reactionary forces
have been defeated"
Eighteen delegates representing
nine states compose the convention,
which opened April 80 and may con-
tinue until May 10. Rafael Carrillo
is secretary.

 America. birthplace of the air plane, generally is understood 10 he backward in the development ot aviation. Is this an accurate ap- praisal or is it d misconception?
 The question may be answered af- itrmatlvcly or negatively, depending upon ones viewpoint. l. is true that the United States does not have air passenger and freight lines Compar- able to the services established in England. Germany and France. IL is not to hr disputed that Col. Charles A. Lindbrrgh, hero of one of the greatest airpanc flights ever made, was right when he declared that many relatively small cities ot the continent and inc British Isles have airport facil 4vs superior to those Of New Jrk.
 In the commercial development of aviation, thcr, can he no doubt that the United States has left many stcps~Untak"n. But, say those who know whereof they speak, if the United States has failed in this phase of aviation. if can produce Ir- refutablo evidence ot success in oth- or spheres. Edward |. Warner, uS- sistant secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, has this to say on the subject:
 The CalamitN-Nonger
 eve have been too much under the spell of tn" alamity-mongcr hose dire and awful prophecies have gained by their very somber- ness an attention more respectful than mere asseverationS unbacked bv citations of evidence ordinarily are considered 10 deserve. It is time that We should at least look with initial skepticiSm upon, and demand credentials of specific fact from the man who is unConC"rned with avail ing himself of the fruits of practl- cal usefulness of aircraft because he is loo busify engaged in throw ing rocks at the trees that bear those fruits.'
 In the basic factors of aviation success. he United States need take second place 10 no other nation, ac- cording 10 officials who could not be accused of hiding their heads in the sand. These two factors. oi course, are planes and pilots. That these two have not been applied 10 the widest possible fields of service does not mean that they have not been tried and proved.
 Successes Not Accidents
 The accomplishments Of Col. I,indbrrgh and Clarence 'hamberIln were not accidents. They were made possible because the planes used were sturdy and the pilots were mon of steel. daring. resourccfulncss and confidence. The Army air servlc" flight around tho world, 'omman- der Byrd's aerial jamt across the North Pol. and scores of less pup Iicizod but remarkabl" accomplish mnn-s are attributable to the same causes.
 Possessed of such powerful re markedly air-Wor1hE craft and such pilots, there is justice i'll the view point of those who ask why these have not been applied in the fields of usefulness to which they hay" been put in Europe. Why has Amer ica no air passenger lines to speak of? Why no air express and trelght'
 The answer is that the need has not been recognized. America has had a superb railroad system. It has it's P, 900 automobiles and it's
