Announcement In Berlin that the
resignation Of Jacob Gould Schurman
of Ithaca, N. Y, had been accepted as
Ambassador to Germany was not re-
cetyed with any surprise in oficial
circles here.
1t had been reported for some time
that the resignation of the Ambassador
would be accepted by President Hoover
and the Berlin post filled by new ap-
pointee. The general impression in
diplomatic circles in Washington was
that acceptance Of the resignation was
withheld pending the virtual conclusion

for an agreement providing direct pay

maintenance of the American Army of
Occupation on the Rhine and claims

Zmbewallsts Manipulate

U.S.S.R. and in Afghanistan the
British have sent wild native tribes
to harrass the southern border of
t. Soviet Union in additional pro-
vocations.
Other imperialist countries Ger
many, France, etc. have been at
tempting to pursue their greedy eX-
ploitation policies through the
League of Nations. During re-
cent visit of the deputy secretary
general of the league the national
lists were approached to open the
country to international develop
ment" instead of limiting it to an
American British exploitation, thus
paving the way for the lesser pow
ers to exploit the cheap labor and
resources of China.
The International Chamber of
| Commerce has also entered into the
free-for-all imperialist manipulation
of the puppet Chinese government,
with scheme, that envisages finan-
cial control similar to that which
reduced the war-torn countries of
Europe to imperialist puppets cur
ing reconstruction.
The Nationalist government has
shown itself as willing tool of the
imperialist powers and is prepar-
ing to carry out the directives of
its master - imperialism. These
events in China have as their OBJ
iective an imperialist war against
the Soviet Union which today stands
as a symbol to the working class of
the world in the struggle of class
against class. Militant workers
throughout the world are rallying to
the defense of the workers and farm
ers government in Russia. The at
tack on the Soviet Union is but one
of the many death tremors of capt.

of the working class which realized
its power in the Instrumentation
and its ability in the building of
Socialism in the Soviet Union.
The diseased scalp of capitalism
has numbered its hairs. The rising
militancy and growing radicaliza-
ton of the American working class
in the struggle against exploitation
by the capitalist class has demon
strated that the Soviet Union will
not lack defenders in the event of an

By GEORGE PERSHING.

China, the puppet of British and
American imperialists in the seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway and
provocative actions against the So
Wet Union, is continuing its role as
an imperialist tool.
Because of the civil wars conduct
ed by the numerous "war lords" of
China, the Chinese masses are pow
erty stricken. Because of lack of
ammunition, food and other supplies
the Nationalist war lords were
forced to disband over 100000 of
their armed men after the Marking
military conference last spring.
Now, however, with the attempts of
the imperialist powers to provoke a
war between the lU.S.S.R. and China,
these powers have combined to re-
build the Chinese Nationalist mill
tary machine and to strengthen the
position of the christian general,

government which had almost be-
come an open break. The imperial
lists wish to combine the forces of

SOFIA, Aug. 15.-Some time ago

Brutality to Smyrna
Workers

SMYRNA, Aug. 15.-The trial of
workers now going on in Smyrna IS
progressing very slowly as all the
accused have withdrawn the state
ments made by them before the po-
lice magistrates on the grounds that
they had been compelled by torture
to make untrue statements.
Selanili Husnu, a worker in to-
bacco factory deposed in court:
"I was arrested for the first time
on April 1. The examining magis-
trate forced me by severe bodily tor
ture to promise on my oath, never
to enter the premises Of the tobacco
workers union any more. When
after my release went there again,
I was re-arrested, taken to a cell
and severely beaten, I was then con-
fronted with a man unknown to me,
whose body was covered with blood
all over and who was alleged to have
said that / had taken revolutionary
leaflets from him. This I denied.
I was then beaten till I admitted
that I knew this man and had re-
ceived revolutionary proclanations
from him. ! did this because ] was
forced to do so. In reality I had
never seen him and never received
anything of this nature from him or
from anybody else"
Abbas, a working man, stated:
81 was summoned to the police
station, where things were read to
me of which l knew nothing. l said
l did not know anything about it.
The police chief, Sabri Bey, then said
to one of the officials: Take him
away and beat him till the blood
flows l was then taken TO the
office of the chief of the political
department, Ibrahim Bey, and beaten
till I confessed everything that was
required of me. In reality I knew
nothing whatever about it ALL"
The rest of the prisoners in the
dock made similar statements. One
Of them concluded his statement with
the words: 81 always thought the
law was judge here. But there we
saw that the cane was judge, so we
all said what was wanted of u.s."
The 'modern reforms" of the
Turkish bourgeoisie do not seem to
extend to the police stations, when

ton were issued on occasion of the
ratification of the treaty between

Expelled for Telling the Truth.
The correspondent of the German
daily 'Berliner Tageblatt" was ex-
PEELED from Yugoslavia for having
given a truthful but as it seems "un-
desirable" account of certain hap
penings on the Yugoslavian from
tier. The incriminated article bore
the inscription, "Mass shootings in
the Balkans" and was printed in the
"Berliner Tageblatt."
This incident, like the murder of
British correspondent by the Ber-
lin police on May Day, shows that
the white dictatorship lets even bour-
geois journalists feel its claws, if
they attempt to write the truth with
out considering what is desirable at
the moment to the fascist butchers.

TERROR EXCUSE
NJ any Are sted in
Hungary

BUDAPEST, Aug. 15.-The po-
lice of Budapest have again detected
Communist "plot" to serve as a
pretext for a still more savage per-
secution of revolutionary proletari-
ans. From time to time when the
corrupt despotism of the present
rulers of Hungary threatening to
wear out the patience even of the
impoverished middle classes, the
bugbear of a Communist "plot" is
used to brighten them back into
submission.
The best proof of the arbitrary
and spurious character Of such ar
rests is the fact that the workers
lrrested eighteen months ago on a
narge of "conspiring against the
afety of the state" are detained
without trial all this time as the
prosecution has no case whatever
against them and trusts to the
Hungarian prison regime to dis
pense the government from the
bother of a public trial.
The men arrested this time are
metal workers who have been fight
ing for better wages and working
conditions. No information is given
about the charges brought against
them and they are kept incommuni-
cative, even their f-,nilies are not
allowed to see any of the arrested
men. 1t is feared that the reason
for this attitude is that one of the
men has been beaten to death in
the police cells in the attempt to
press a confession from him and the
police hope thus to keep the affair
dark.
