JAPAN WORKERS
URGE SOLIDARITY
Ask All to Support the
Chinese Revolution

Pointing out that the workers and
peasants of Japan have no quarrel
with the workers and peasants of
China, the Japanese Workers As
ISOLATION, through its affiliations in
numerous cities in America, has
distributed leaflet printed in Chi
nese declaring solidarity with the
oppressed Chinese masses.
"The Tanaka government in ia
pan represents the landlord and big
capitalist elements" the leaflet de-
clares. "These are the elements
that have sent additional troops to
Shantung with the real purpose Of
crushing the workers and peasants
revolution in China. And these
same elements grind the energy and
flesh of japanese workers and peas
ants into bloody profits"
Pledging support to the mighty
Chinese revolution, the leaflet fur
Their states:
"Fellow Chinese workers! We
extend our hands to you. Let us
unite our forces in China, in Japan,
and here in America! Let us work
together for the success of the Chi
nese workers and peasants revolu-
ton in order to emancipate you
from the yoke of foreign imperial
ism, from the brutal clutches of war
lords and landlords, and in order
to emancipate us from the exploi-
tation of Japanese imperialists and
capitalists"

DRAFT
PROGRAM APPROVED

land. Actually no such contradic-
ton exists. The proletarian revolu-
ton cannot afford to make enemies
of the peasants by Immediately
Matchmaking all land and it pro-
tects the peasants from spectators
by prohibiting the sale and purchase
of land. The rich estates will be ex-
propriated, the peasant farms will
not be. The latest investigations of
Riasanov show that Marx had the
same opinion on the peasant ques-
ton as Lenin.
Regarding the questions of war
Communism and NEP, Vargas
attitude results from the fact that
he underestimates the serious mis-
takes of the Hungarian Communist
Party during it's dictatorship. The
proletarian dictatorship in Hungary
gave the peasants nothing and an
tagonized them by reouisitions and
leaving landholders behind on their
estates as specialists. The dictator
ship also antagonized the petty
bourgeoisie by threatening to shoot
tradesmen who opened their shops.
A recent article of Vargas declared
that even if the leaders of the Hun
garian proletarian dictatorship had
made no mistakes, defeat would
have been inevitable from the given
circumstances. This represents "a
serious underestimation of the errors
of the Hungarian Communist Party.
In consequence of its attitude to the
peasantry and the petty bourgeoisie,
the dictatorship of the proIetariat
antagonized the majority of the
population. If the dictatorship had
given the peasants something, it
could have found a means of de-
moralizing the opposing armies
which were, largely composed of
peasants. Nevertheless the proba-
bility exists that in the first stage
of the dictatorship of the proletariat
war Communism will be adopted.
n. E. p.
Some comrades are of the opinion
that highly developed countries may
skip over the NEP and refer to a
remark of Lenin's. Lenin did make
some such remark, but at the third
congress he referred to Britain as
the only possible exception. Lenin
also approved the draft program at
the fourth congress. 1t is unthink-
able that Lenin would have per-
mitted a serious error in the NEP
policy to pass without criticism"

UNDERSEA BOAT
PLANNED ATTACK
ON RED WARSHIPS
Entire Crew Lost, Is
Indication
Ry EUGENE LYONS.

MOSCOW, Aug. 16 (UP).-An
almost forgotten tragedy of the
world war was brought to light to-
day through the recovery from the
bottom of the Baltic Sea of the
rusted hulk of the lost British sub
marine LBS, and the crumbling
skeletons of some of her crew.
The fate of the L-55 never was
known in detail, but an official gov
eminent announcement here today
said examination of the hulk led to
the belief that every member of
her crew persisted when she was
sent to the bottom by a Russian
destroyer on June 4, 1919.
The L-55 was salvaged by the
Russians and taken to the Kron-
stadt base. The official announce
ment said unidentified skeletons
were found in the inner compart-
ments of the submarine. The num-
Der was not given, but it was not
believed that any of the submar-
ines complement escaped.
Planned Attack on Soviet.
Official information here in Mos
COW gave details of what happened
to the L-55 during the Baltic Sea
operations after the Armistice. On
June A, 1919, the fort at Kronstadt
reported a fleet of four English
minesweepers in Kaprosky Bay,
with submarine periscope show
ing near them.
The Russian destroyers Agart
and Gavril were sent in pursuit.
Shots were fired at the periscope.
An explosion followed and the sub
marine appeared no more.
The war department announced
it was studying the rusted hulk to
determine the conditions under
which the L-55 sank.

NEGRO PREJUDICE
is ASSAILED AT
BIC MEETING
Speakers Attack Judge
for Discrimination

At the meeting called by the Boro
Civic Association of Brooklyn at
1868 Fulton Street to protest
against the anti-Negro attitude of
the judge at the recent trial of Mrs.
De Luca, Henry Roseman and Ben
LIGHT of the American Labor Negro
Congress were warmly received by
the audience when they called for
solidarity of the Negro and white
workers against exploitation.
The speakers pointed out that at
the trial of Mrs. De Luca, a white
woman, the judge declared that she
had no business to live among Ne
groes, since it is impossible for
white and colored people to live to-
gether. When the lawyer, Mr.. Ser
rio, doubted the word of the pro-
hibition agent the judge declared,
I'm my section of the country had
you made any such accusation
against an officer of the law he
would smash you before you got out
of the courtroom, or if he had suf-
ficient self control to wait until he
got outside, he would have taken
personal vengeance upon you re-
CARELESS of consequences"
Roseman and LIGHT explained the
policy of the Negro Labor Congress
which was aimed at the wiping out
of all exploitation. A resolution,
providing for a meeting of all Ne
gro organizations in the near future
was passed.

German Reds Demand
Referendum

BERLIN, Aug. 16.-The intention
of the Social-Democratic controlled
cabinet to continue with the naval
building program to the limit pro-
vided by the treaty of Versailles, in
spite of its expressed admiration of
the Kellogg pact, has reused much
comment and criticism from con-
servatives and liberals alike, which
may lead to crisis for the cabinet
of DIR. Meuller.
The conservatives point out that
inspite of the election promises of
the reformists, the socialist cabinet
is continuing military and naval
preparations. One armored cruiser.
costing S20,000,0O0 has already been
built, and five others of the same
size will be built.
In order to meet the reformist
criticism in it's own ranks the Social
Democatic Party is calling a con-
ference for Saturday in which the
best means of meeting the criticism
and organizing a strong coalition
will be discussed.

Jeng Tells of Marking
Anti-Labor Tactics

from China, are bloody and hor-
rible. Pictures of Chinese worker
leaders, decapitated, lying in pools
of blood; pictures of militant, hang
ing from posts, their bodies horribly
mutilated by the reactionary forces;
all these show the need for aid more
eloquently than mere words can.
These conditions form the text of
a letter from Sou Chao Jeng, chair
man of the All-China Federation of
Labor Unions, which last night was
issued in pamphlet form by the
Committee to Aid the Chinese
Trade Unions, from its office at 90
Fifth Ave, room 314. The letter,
which appeals to workers all over
the world to come to the aid of their
Chinese comrades, reads, in part, as
follows:
again and again, from the deep
underground into which we have
been driven by the united counter
revolution of the Chinese capitalist
landlords and militarists, and the
imperialist robbers, we address to
you our ardent appeal for aid.
"We realize that all measures will
be taken by our government and
your to prevent our groans and
cries of anguish from reaching you.
They understand that you would
not be likely to look on calmly at
the pain and suffering of your
Chinese brothers. We know that
this appeal will also reach you with
considerably delay and great diff
Guilty.
"We have been cruelty deceived
by our bourgeoisie; having disposed
of the northern militarists with our
aid, having captured the Yangtze
region, having occupied Shanghai
and Hankow, they decided to put
AM end to us. They betrayed the
common struggle of the Chinese
people and offered their services to
your governments, and together
with them they have been destroy
ing and drowning in rivers of blood
the workers and peasants move
ment during these last fifteen
months.
"We are firmly convinced that
you will come to our aid and that
you will help us in our struggle for
right, life and liberty, against the
entire counter revolutionary bour-
geoisie.
eve rely upon your fraternal
solidarity and your fraternal aid.
The cup of patience of the Chinese
people is becoming filled. The Chi
nese peasantry is rising again,
while the soldiers refuse to take up
arms against the people and go
over to the side of the toilers.
Help us in our struggle and
thereby you will also fight against
the menace of new world war"
The appeal is signed by Sou
Chao Jeng. chairman of the ALL

Funds for the relief of the Chinese
workers should be sent Immediately
