NORFOLK, Va. (By MaiD.-Just
few lines to inform the readers
of the DAILY" on the present situa-
ton in Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Hundreds of wrkers have been
laid off in the Ford plant in the last
two weeks. More than 400 workers
were laid off in the Norfolk-Ports-
mouth Navy Yard. Many workers
in the Navy Yard have fallen VIC
tins to lead poisoning received on
the job there.
Many workers have been laid off
in the Seaboard Railway shops.
When the sawmill bosses closed
down their plants thousands of work
ers lost their jobs, to mention only
the Planters Mig. Co., Norfolk We
neer Co., Portsmouth and Dixie We
neer, etc.
When the Spear Engineering Co.
of Portsmouth went into bankruptcy
$50 workers were put out of work.
The unemployment situation in this
city is acute. The city officials are
trying every day to quiet down the
poverty stricken workers families
who are demanding relief.
These victims of capitalism must
be organized into unemployed coun-
ellis and fight unitedly against the
system of exploitation. The Com
munist Party, leading the left wing
workers, is the only capable and
willing force to lead these struggles.

CHANG KAI-SHEK
MOVES TREASURE
OUT or NANKING
Tall Talk of Fighting
Soviet Abuses World

SHANGHAI, Oct. 24.-With the
desertion, by a declaration of "neut-
rality," of General Yen Hsi-shan,
the so-called model militarist of
Shansi, Chang Kai-shek is fighting
alone against all the six leading
militarists who joined him to unity
China II months ago, when Picking
and Tientsin were taken.
The declaratino of Yen at least
unravels one of tn esupposed mys-
teries as to his attitude toward Feng
Yu-hsiang, whom he wired Marking
only two weeks back that he was
holding prisoner, at the same time
pledging '1ayalty" to Chang Kai-
shek.
But Yen's detection is not all.
They are pouring in on Chang from
all sides. Ho Chen in Human has
arrested Chiang's emissary and
thrown in his lot with Chang Fa-
kwei. Picking reports that General
Tang Sheng-chi, who butchered SC
many workers of Hankow that the
streets ran with blood, is gone over
to Feng, and some other generals
near his position with $4,000 men.
Altogether, Chang Kai-shek feels
himself slipping, as is shown by his
moving thirty cases of his personal
treasures from Marking down the
river and into the safe zone of the
International Settlement. This looks
like he is preparing to flee in case
of defeat, which now seems probable
A ludicrous light is thus thrown
on Markings pompous declaration
just made, that it would send more
troops to the Manchurian border as
it is prepared for a long campaign
against the Soviet Union. With the
"unity of the nation under Nam
king" this bit of stage thunder is
only laughable.

Continental Auto
Magnates Combine
to Fight US. Export

PARIS, Oct. 27.-A new move,
backed by German manufacturers,
to combat American trade expansion
in Europe is under way after a Sc
ries of secret conferences in Paris,
i wa slearned today. German manu-
facturers supporting the theory of
cartels to oppose American expan-
sion, have attempte dto create con-
tinental motor car trust to apportion
export markets.
The German idea was to agree to
divide the markets, assigning each
nation bosses, percentage in ac-
cordance with 1928 production stat
istics, but French representatives
claimed that the plan favored Ger
many at the expense Of France.
Cartels already existing through
out Europe-steel, steel rail and
potash, chemicals and newsprint-
have sharpened the trade struggle
between u. s. and European indus
trial interests.

ARCENTINA-BRITISH TRADE DEAL
STRIKES AT U. S.. IMPERIALISM
AND SHARPENS WORLD RIVALRY
SfOOO0O,OO0 Agreement FlOurished by the
British Under Uncle Sans Nose
Political Effect Most Important; Irigoyer
Regime Trying to Check u. S. Oil .

BUENOS Al Els, Oct. 24.-Two
Slows by British imperialisf at
American Imperialism in the war
for control of Latin American mar
kets and resources are noted in
recent developments.
First, was the "open letter" sent
by Prsiden Irigoyen to the Hon.
Viscount d'Abernon, head of the
British Trade Mission to Argentina
(and other countries), announcing
with dramatic sudden flourish Fri
goyen's "great pleasure" at the "plan
of. economic cooperation between
the republic and Great Britain
which is publishedalongside. The
British missions success has even
caused rumors of a possible new
trip to Latin America by President
Hoover.
This agreement, in a lengthy re-
countal of six points, gives a two
year credit of $100,000,000 mutually,
the Argentine government drawing
on London for purchases of British
material for Argentine railways
"and other national departments. !"
The British government, n turn,
may draw against delivery of ship
ping document" and acquire direct
ly from Argentirc producers at mar
ket price whatever Argentine pro-
ducts are wanted in Britain. This
is, of course, a stiff blow at U. S.
trade.
The second blow is the bill now
pnding in tn krgntin parliamnt for
naturalization of the oil resources.
This is already disturbing the sleep

of Secretary of ate Stimson at
Washington, from where reports
come of his lament at such proposal
and broad hints that the United
States regards this as hostile act.
1t is an Irigoyen proposal aimed to
forestall Yankee oil firm from get
ting on,essions from the separate
Argentine provinces, a defensive
step in the interest of British firms
now holding big part of producing
fields. The bill, however, is resisted
by provincial governments, which
profit by concessions.
