Communist Council Sets
Up Memorial to Soldier
Dead, Shows War Evils

PARIS, April 4.-One of the most
daring monuments to war dead was
dedicated today in the cemetery at
lie Vallois Perret, suburb of Paris.
The monument depicts suffering and
horror and a protest against war.
At the base is workman break
ing his sword and rifle over his knee.
Just above is a gassed soldier in
agony At one side is a figure repre-
senting victim Of unjust condemna-
ton by court martial and on the other
side is a Negro victim of European
imperialism. At the top is the figure
of a. woman weeping over the martyr
dom Of her children.
The monument was sculptured by
Yrondy, who was decorated for brav-
cry during the war. 1t was ordered
erected by a Communist municipal
council, patriotic organizations pro-
tested that it was Islander" of the
war dead and several fascists en-
deavored to mutilate the statue.
Trouble was expected today at the
unwilling but there was hardly an
incident as 1900 Communists paraded
in silence following the inaugural adj
dress by the project on behalf of the
French government.

'USSR TRANSPORT
W WORKERS HOLD
9Th CONFERENCE
Sends Greetings to La
Dor in Other Countries

MOSCOW, U. S. s. R., March
(By MaiD The 9Th conference of
the Union of Transport Workers (Lo-
cal Transport of L. S. S. r., which
met here on January TIC last, is go
ing to occupy an important place in
the life and activity Of the Union.
It's importance arises not only from
the weighty decisions and organiza-
tionai measures adopted, but also
from the attitude taken by the con
ference on the questions Of interna-
tional unity Of the transport workers
and the unity of the trade union
movement among them.
The activity Of the Central Com
mittee in establishing contact with
transport workers unions in other
countries has already gone beyond
the stage Of merely forming" rela-
tions.
Fraternal greetings at the opening
of the conference were delivered by:
Comrade Johansen on behalf of the
Norwegian Transport workers; Com.
Zwicker from Germany; Com. Hardy
from Great Britain; Com. Lozovsky
from the Red International of Labor
Unions, and CQm. Atchkanov from
the Transport Workers International
Propaganda Committee.
Messages of support were adopted
by the conference to the English
coal miners, to the workers Of Lithu-
ania in connection with the fascist
coup d'etat in that country, and to
the revolutionary masses and the
transport workers of China.
The conference then proceeded to
receive the report of the T. /. P. c.
In an unanimous resolution adopted
on the report, the conference noted
"the uninterrupted growth Of con-
flicts on the transport unions in all
the capitalist countries, as the result

here. The intimidation Of China
is something which cannot be effec-
ted any more. II is tactic Of the
past. But the British do not seem
to realize it. And the Chinese las
would any other people, find it diff
cult to see tokens Of friendship in
barbwire entanglements and cruisers
and soldier-filled transports.
On top Of all this comes word from
London, by United Press service, that
British concerns are rushing work on
one hundred tanks for use by the
Anti-Nationalist forces of Chang
Tso-lin, Chang Tsung chang and
others, Such dispatches, too, which
first appear in the English language
papers which buy these news-ser-
vices, are promptly picked up by the
Chinese press and translated. The
result is more indignation, again
directed against Britain. Epitomizing
the whole situation, one observer
here says: "lf there is dangerous
situation in Shanghai, the British
have only themselves to blame"

indian TROOPS
were DUPED BY
BRITISH LIARS
Told Sacred Shrines
Ruined by Chinese

HANkOW, March BY MALL. -
Evidence now in possession of Kuo-
mintang Party circles here indicates
that while the British authorities are
laying great stress on the inherent
dangers of the Shanghai situation"
they themselves are authorizing the
most irresponsible propaganda direct
ly designed to project new dangers
into that situation.
The dangers" of the situation in
Shanghai are, in the first place, sole
ly the result of the direct intewen-
ton of Britain in sending troops to
that city Otherwise the mere turn
over of authority from Sun Chuan-
fang's forces to those Of the Nation
alist armies would imply no danger to
Shanghai or it's inhabitants. But by
bringing alien troops into that region
the British have created a situation
which necessarily has in it the seeds
of potential dangers.
Alleged Atrocities.
They have added to this new fac
tor of false propaganda among their
own forces. The Indian troops which
have landed in Shanghai We're pump
ed full of horrible tales Of alleged
Chinese atrocities" according to in
formation available here. These al
legged atrocities" were the destruc-
tion of the Indian places of worship
in Shanghai Immediately upon their
arrival in the port city, these Punjab
troops made inquiries. They wished
to see the ruins of their holy places.
When they found these buildings in
tact and in general use, they found
they had been duped by the tales
poured into their ears on their way
out. The reaction is said to have
been immediate.
This effect of the British to SOW
the seeds of inter-Asiatic distrust by
pitting one Asiatic people against an
other is looked upon here as another
evidence of the laundering tactics of
the British in handling Oriental peo-
pies. They should have known that
false stories of this kind, easily dis
proved, would cause an immediate
and strong reaction from the hatred
that was proposed and would bring
about, instead, quick distrust Of
their superiors among the Indian
troopers.
In State of Funk.
The entire situation in Shanghai,
according to completely neutral OBJ
servers who have recently passed
through that city, is one of psyche
logical fear. The foreign settlement
is in the grip of wholly irrational
funk" The atmosphere of the In
ternational Settlement is plainly a
war atmosphere, they state. This is
now heightened by the presence of
British and Indian troops who,
necessarily, must be much in evidence
about the streets. The parades of
these soldiery seem to have been de-
liberately planned, first to pump con-
fidence into the foreign inhabitants
and second to instil fear into the
Chinese. The elaborate system of
barbwire entanglements along the
border streets between the settle
ment and the Chinese city have also
helped greatly to enhance this war"
feeling.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-04-05

The reaction among the Chinese
people in Shanghai has, of course,
been precisely the opposite of that in
tended. They are not afraid; they
are indignant. The erection of these
barricades is direct affront to the
Chinese. And the effect is felt not
merely in Shanghai but throughout
the country, even in the most remote
interior places. The news agencies
have broadcast reports Of the arrival
of the British forces and the con-
dition Of preparedness" in Shanghai
These reports have been gathered up
from English language papers and
translated by the Chinese press. The
result is immediate Already there
have been new incidents" in Ichang
Changsha and Chungking.
Nice Words and Bad Deeds.
No matter how much the British
may seek TO implant ideas of "new
fl'iendliness" on their part toward
China and the Chinese, their use of
the printed word for this purpose is
completely outweighed by these ac-
tons in Shanghai. The double pro-
cess of giving wordy assurances of
good will while the British Army and
Navy are rapidly being modified on
Chinese soil and in Chinese waters
appears not to have any good effect
ON the Chinese mind, il is pointed out

LEAGUE AGAINST
HORTHY EXPOSES
TRIAL OF SzANTO

A cablegram urging Henri Bar
busse, internationally known French
writer, to form with William Bolitho,
and other prominent publicists, a
delegation to establish in Hungary a
fund for the legal defense Of Szanto,
Vagi, and so others now facing court
martial for labor union activities,
was sent last night by the Anti
Horthy League of this city. The
league also cabled $500 for starting
this fund. The money was raised at
a recent concert by Hungarian and
American artists under the auspices
of the Anti Horthy League,
Workers Protest.
The cablegram follows:
Workers throughout the United
States have protested against the ar
rest, torture, and court martial of
workers and peasants in Hungary by
the Horthy government. Huge mass
meetings were held by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, and protests
were wired to Horthy representatives
in Washington and Budapest. In
New York City the following Ameri-
can Federation of Labor trade unions
held protest meetings: The Brother
hood of Painters and Decorators,
Local 400, District Council 9 Of the
same union, New York locals Of the
Amalgamated Food Workers Union
Local 2O90 of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, and the New
York Council of the American Shoe
Workers Protective Union.
Many Meetings Protest.
Similar protest meetings were held
by unions in Chicago, Passaic, De-
troit, and other cities. In Cleveland
the Hungarian American Liberty
League sent cablegrams to the Lon
don Daily Herald, the English Labor
Party, the Trades Union Interna-
tional in Amsterdam, and the Inter
national Transport Workers Fedora
ton in Brussels, appealing for help
in preventing the court martial and
execution of Szanto, Vegi, and their
comrades. This organization has

On the name of its 100000 MEM
bers, the Anti-Horthy League of New
York passed a resolution at con-
cert of Hungarian and American
artists in New York City on March
81, denouncing the suppressive mea-
sures of the Horthy government
against all labor organizations.
"As an internationally known
artist and the champion of the OPP
pressed, you were chosen as the dele
gate of the Anti-Horthy League of
New York to go to Hungary and use
your prestige and influence to pro-
vide legal defense for Szanto, Vagi,
and their comrades. We are anxious
to have Max Eastman and William
Bolitho, well-known publicists, to join
you in this mission if possible.

Answer the
Attack

The charges made by the American
Legion representatives and those of other
patriotic societies against The DAILY
WORKER is the opening gun in the attack
which is being launched against our paper.
These societies are nothing more or less than
high-sOundng labels for groups of employ
ers who have banded together to destroy the
labor movement of this country The first
assault is being made against the organ of
the most class-cOnsciOus and militant section
of the labor movement Reaction is bending
its efforts toward the destruction of labOr's
fighting organ, The DAILY WORKER.
The answer to this first attack must be a
flood of enrOllments to the Ruthenberg

the backing of thousands of comrades
throughout the country we will be able not
only to Illustrate the plans of the dark forces
of reaction, but also TO build up The DAILY

Of the capitalist offensive against
wages, working hours and other CON
quests Of the working class"
The conference at the same time
emphasized that the capitalist often
sive was facilitated by collaboration
with the bougeoisie and treachery on
the part Of the reformist leaders Of
the Transport Unions who had de-
parted from the class position and
were betraying the interests Of the
workers in general, and of the trans
port workers in particular.
The conference, having approved
the activity Of the T. l. P. c., ad-
vised the latter to increase further
its work on behalf Of unity of the
Trade Union movement Of the trans
port workers, over the heads Of their
reformist leaders.
Since the last conference from the
end of November, 1924, to the be-
ginning Of December, 1920 the nu-
merical strength of the union was
increased by 21,342 members, or
1856. The state of organization
among the local transport workers
has grown, reaching 1850 at the
time of the conference. During the
same period the body of active union
members Serving on local commit
tees, the various commissions, mu-
tual insurance, auditing committees,
delegate meetings, dues collectors,
etc. was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 people.
