Experts on Air War
Say Coming Conflict
Will Wipe Out Cities

LONDON, Dec. 8 U.P). - The
League of Nations Union heard two
versions of "The Next War" today,
both startling predictions of what
might happen.
Lord Halsbury, in a speech to-
night, said that the "Next War"
would commence where the last one
left off with the result that new
poison gases might wipe out the
population of London in IL hours.
Every human in that area might
be killed. Our only possible safe
guard rests in letting the enemy
know that any attempts to obliter-
ate London will be met with similar
attacks on the enemy capitals"
Brigadier- General P. R. C. Groves
earlier in the day said Europe's all
situation was a great menace to
peace.
1.-THE total weight of bombs
dropped in four years in the last
war could now be dropped in "a
hours" he said. "This represents q
1,500-fold increase in effectiveness
Groves obs 2rved that an airplane
guided by wireless could bomb g
city and he stressed the same de.
Tense proposed by Lord Halsbury:
"There is no adequate defense
against air attacks except counter
attacks"

Argentine Press Jabs
Back at u. S. Agrarian
Tariff Boosting Plan

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 9.-That
the Argentine bourgeoisie will have
some tough questions for Hoover to
answer when he stops for dinner,
appears from the tone and content
of an editorial in ola Nacion," one
Of the most important dailies of
South America.
IL refers to the report Of the U. S.
secretary of agriculture, Jardine,
which advocates a higher tariff on
agrie .ltu- products to help the
rich farmers of the United States, a
policy that strikes hard at Argen-
tine exports. The paper defiantly
remarks, concerning this, as follows:
an Argentina there need be no
alarm at this prospect Of higher
tariff in the United States. On the
contrary, a sentiment of wonder is
noted the policy which the United
States proposes to follow, because
this policy disregards the fact that
this country is an important buyer
of n, ~th American goods.
In concluding the editorial regard
i . TIE U. S. tariff proposals, tt
paper states:
"In solving the question, the U. s..
government should not omit exam
lining the political aspect of the sub
ject. That is to say, its repercussion
among us. This phase merits con-
sider.d attention"

BERLIN, (By MaiD-November
30 was the sixth anniversary of the
founding of the International Red
Aid.
During the six years of its work
the International Red Aid bore
worthily it's name of "The Red First
Aid Corps of the World Revolution"
by giving material and moral aid
to the victims of capitalist reac-
ton. During these years the Inter
national Red Aid developed into a
mass organization Of many millions,
which drew its members into the
spirit of international proletarian
solidarity. It's name rings thru the
whole world as a warning to the
ruling class, the bourgeoisie and its
allies.
The international Red Aid has
proved that it is able to mobilize
the broadcast ranks of the working
class for the active fight against
the white terror, class justice and
international fascism.

hesion and offers of aid to the Pat

lures of S. Laib and E. Russak, its
president and secretary
"The Women's Council has for Z
weeks been furnishing the pickets
with coffee and rolls under the aus
pices of the Associated Silk Work
ers. The Women's Council is a
working class organization with the
purpose of helping workers in strug-
gle, and tried to do its share in the
present strike.
During the z weeks that we have
been cooperating with the Associ-
ated Silk Workers, we have been
watching the struggle within the
organization with great interest. We
realize that when the policies and
tactics of the officials of the Asso-
ciated drove the left wing leaders
out of strike activity, there was
nothing left to do for the broad silk
workers, who overwhelmingly fol-
low the left wing leaders, but to
vote to enter the National Textile
Workers Union, whose policies and
tactics are identical with those of
the left wing, and which can build
up really powerful organization
for the textile workers of Paterson.
Therefore, as a militant and
s-conscious organization, we can
no longer work in cooperation with
the Associated Silk Workers, which
has ruined the strike and betrayed
the workers. We have been COM
PEELED to refuse further to conduct
the coffee stand at Turn Hall under
the auspices of the Associated, and
we intend putting in all our efforts
to support the National Textile

tablish powerful union in Pater-

TOXIC, Japan, (By MaiD.-
Threatened with the death penalty,
95 japanese Communists were
brought to trial in Osaka on Nov.
81, with all proceedings kept secret
and no reporters allowed into the
courtroom.
Just as this mass process against
the Communists was to take place,
members of the Communist Party
and its sympathizers, protesting the
extreme brutality of the Tanaka re-
gime against revolutionary workers.
came to blows with police who at
tempted to break the demonstra-
eton near the court house. From
fear of similar demonstrations of
Vprotest on the part of the workers
in Osaka, the largest industrial CEN
ter in Japan, the judge decided to
carry on the trial secretly.
The Communist Party is banned
in Japan. After the large vote
given the workers candidates at the
elections in February, the legal left
proletarian organization, Rodo No
mimic (Workers and Peasants Par
ty); Hyogikai (the revolutionary
trade union league) and it's branch,
the youth league, were dissolved by
the government.
In June the death sentence was
decreed against political conspira-
tors" In that way the reactionary
Japanese government hoped to stifle
all revolutionary propaganda at its
roots.
The revolutionary workers now
appearing in Osaka before the Jap
anese capitalist court, were arrested
without any ground during the fes-
tivities surrounding the GROWING of
the new emperor in Toxic. The po-
lice spread the rumor that the ac-
cused workers had planned an "at-
tempt at the life of the emperor"
The charge accuses them of econ
spiracy against the life of the ruler
and the safety of the state" For
this the le decree serves the
death pena- y.
International proletarian solidar-
ity demands the working class of
the whole world to rush to the aid
Of the Japanese class brothers with
ell haste. An international stor Il
Ct protest must Immediately get un-
der way to BATTLE the shameless pur-
pose of the Japanese terrorists to
send 95 revolutionary workers to
death!

PARIS, (By MALL Terror sem
fences against French Communists
have again been handed down dur
ing the last few days. Again there
is the familiar cry of "inciting the
military to revolt"
Jacques Doriot was hailed before
the capitalist court for his activity
in China and his articles in the
youth newspaper -Garde"
advance Guard), in which he had
called upon the French sailors and
soldiers to fraternize with the op-
pressed Chinese people. He was
sentenced to 2 years in prison and
5000 francs fine.
Besides this sentence, which now
hangs over Doriot, Doriot has a SEN
tence, from the trial of Nov. %,
1927, of one year in prison and
1000 francs fine.
Gabriel Peri, one of the editors of
"Humanite," central organ of the
French Communist Party, because
of his articles against the threaten
ing war and his appeal to all SOL
diers and sailors not to allow them
selves to be used for imperialist
wars and for a war against the
Chinese workers and peasants, was
sentenced to one year in prison.
CASTOR Cornavin, publisher of
"Emancipator," because of an arti-
Gle against the imperialist war be-
ing prepared against the Soviet
Union, was sentenced to 6 months
in prison. Cornavin was arrested
because of this article and treated
as a criminal prisoner.
Andre Marty, whose trial on his
open letter to Marshall Foch took
place a short time ago, had in this
process refused to accept the deci.
sion of the court, because the judge
belonged to the ruling class. NJ
sentence has as yet been passed il

Thursday.

The Paraguayan Charge DAT

creasing flame of bitterness.
a "This soil is already Free" "Bet-

that the workers of Bolivia are al

unless Wall Street orders war.
The government has postponed
the municipal elections scheduled
for Monday and the entire country
waits in suspense for the next de-

liberately provoked crowds toward
military conflict.
Special editions of newspapers
continue to howl for war, using the
Bolivian version of the Fort Van

"The attack on Fort Vanguardia is
the result of criminal generalization
on the part of the Paraguayan gen.

"Soon the truth will shine forth
before all the nations that Paraguay

American workers, who have

in strikes in this country, and who
know the methods of imperialism in
trying TO maintain colonial cheap
labor conditions in Latin America,
will not be surprised to find the
whole power of American imperial
ism pitted against the Colombian
strikers. To those workers who do
not yet know what is back of
Hoover's good will trip in South
America, to those who do not yet
know what American interests he is
helping to safeguard and to estab-
fish, the statement of the U. S. min
lister to Colombia will serve as an
eye-opener. Wall Street and Wash
ington are seeking. to reduce Co.
lombia to the status of Nicaragua.
American imperialism is the enemy
of all the oppressed. American
workers must fight against it with
the same vigor as our fellow-work-
ers throughout Latin America are
fighting it.
"We congratulate the Colombian
plantation workers on their splen-
did struggle. Far from being cowed
by the forces sent against them,

fence and have actually captured
