HUNGARY LIMITS
U. 5. MOVIES
Hays Agents Assailing
Germany as Instigator

PARIS July 3-The Hungarian
government, following the example
of France, Britain and Germany, has
signed decree, effective Aug. 1,
establishing film import quota Of
20 to l against foreign films.
The decision was surprise to
American distributors in Europe,
who believed the state department
note of March 80 had quashed the
quota law n Hungary.
European agents of Will Hayes,
American film car, attack the Ger
man film industry for having insti-
gated this boycott of American
films, and predict that this method
of economic warfare will be used in
other fields also, especially in the
automobile industry.
Hungary imports 900 films annu-
ally, but produced only three this
year and six last year.
For each Hungarian film bought
for showing in America, licenses to
import 20 films into Hungary are
granted, but since there are not
enough Hungarian films, the licenses
must be bought in the open market.
The decree also imposes a tax of
$500 each on foreign films, creating
fund to be used for substituting the
Hungarian film industry and send
ing specialist to study in Holly
wood.

FIGHT ON CHANG
Death GUSTS The
JAPAN ministry
Intensified Struggle in
China Foreseen

TOXIC, July 3.-Shortly after
the government of the imperialist
Premier, Baron Tanaks. resigned en-
bloc yesterday, the emperor sum-
moned Yugo Hamaguchi, opposition
reactionary, and ordered a new
cabinet.
Since Hamaguchi poses as a
liberal" the Genro powerful aris-
tocratie organization which enforces
emperor-worship in Japan, hopes his
selection as head of the ministry will
give the government a liberal"
tinge and, temporarily pacify the
masses, whose spirit is beginning to
shoulder under the iron oppression
Of the feudal aristocracy as well as
of the capitalists.
1t is claimed that the appointment
Of Baron Shidehara to the foreign
office indicates that Japan will re-
vert to "conciliatory" policy toward
the Marking government. This
means that Japan will make more
tremendous efforts to buy over
Marking, increasing the three
cornered struggle for control in
China between the U. S. Britain and
Japan.
Tanaka's fall followed split in
the cabinet caused by the "investi-
cation" of the assassination of Mar
shall Chang Tso-lin, Chinese tool of
Japanese Imperialism, in Manchuria
last year.
The war lord, outfitted end
financed by the japanese imperial
lists, was given the job of enslaving
Manchuria for Japanese exploitation,
but finally grew to be so strong a
figure in the province that he be-
came somewhat intractable and it be-
came necessary to get him out of
the way.
The party of the industrialists,
which wants to wrest control of the
from the old aristocracy,
seized upon the Investigation" to
further their political aims. They in
sisted that certain japanese jingoes
stationed in Manchuria at the time
of Changes death be made the scape-
goats for the murder, while Tanaka
and his fellows bitterly opposed their
punishment on the ground that the
imperialist forces would be brought
into bad repute.

Ill 0YD GEORGE
.JAbS MACDONALD
ON DISARMAMENT
Spills Some Truths in
Hypocritical Speech

LONDON, July 3.-David LLOYD
George, whose liberal party holds
the balance of power in the present
parliament, today embarked upon a
harassing campaign against the
government by demanding actual
naval reductions, of submarines as
well as cruisers, and the limitation
of the "huge armies on the CONT
nent."
Lloyd George, while war premier
of Britain, never did anything to
hamper the naval race of Britain,
and his speech, like most of those
he made during the election cam
paign, is not regarded as serious,
but merely for political effect.
No Disarmament.
Premier MacDonald's government
continues to stagger to the right,
and Macdonald, in his part of the
debate on arms limitations, made it
clear that he proposed nothing
hasty." This is interpreted as the
British imperialists' answer to the
jingoistic parity" Superiority an
nouncement of United States Sec
letary of State Stimson recently.
MacDonald's share in the debate
which followed the labor ministry's
formal statement of policy appa-
rently has removed any naval off
GERS fear of Immediate action. The
premier said the time for formal
negotiations toward naval reduction
had not yet arrived, and, $50 FAR as
America is concerned, the conversa-
items that have been started are
purely of preliminary and ex-
ploratory character"

unemployment came in Canada, too,
were simply thrown out on the

in the campaign that the Young
Pioneers of America are conducting

Tense of the framed-up Gastonia

"To the Young Pioneers of Amer
lea, greetings.
"The campaign being conducted
by your organization for the send
ing of a workers children's delega-
ton to the Soviet Union receives
the hearty support OF the National
Textile Workers Union.
"Our union realizes the great role
that the children play in all the
struggles of the workers. In the
fight that we are waging against
the mill bosses in the South the chill
dren Of the workers are to be found
in the front ranks of the strikers.
1t is for this reason that we find
that in Gastonia 19-year- Sophie
Melvin is charged with murder, be-
cause she helped to organize the
children to aid the strike.
Southern Striker Goes.
owe are very glad to see that the
Young Pioneers realize the gravity
and Importance of this situation in
Gastonia. This is shown by the
fact that you have as a member of
your delegation child striker from

"We feel that it is your duty and
the duty of all the workers to ex-
pose the lies of the bosses and their
agents against the Soviet Union by

"The National Textile Workers
Union congratulates the Young Pr
oneers on the leading part that you
are taking in helping the Gastonia

"You must also point out to the
workers children the danger of an
attack by the bosses governments
on the only workers state, the U.
S. S. R., and show that the Boy
Scout international jamboree is only
part of the preparations for a war
with the Soviet Union.
"The existence of this war dan

the Fraud
Berlin Trial Continues
Two Forgers Officials

BERLIN, July Bid H. p.
Knickerbocker, correspondent for
the New York Evening Post, have
"a hand in the anti-Soviet forgeries
for which two Russian monarchist
gemigres are now being tried here
1or did he not?
This was the question in the
minds of many of those in the court
ICON today as they heard DR.. Wal
ter Jaffe, attorney for Vladimir Or
loft, one of the forgers, make the
charge that Knickerbocker provoked
the forgeries. DR.. Jaffe did not, of
course, say that Knickerbocker pro-
voked the forgeries in order that
the New York Evening Post might
print another anti-Soviet lie for the
purpose of prejudicing the Ameri-
can masses against the workers
state. Instead he made the ride
nlous charge that Knickerbocker was
acting as en- agent of the Soviet
government.
Gave 1O0-Mark Advance.
Discounting this absurdity, it
SENS entirely plausible that the
capitalist press correspondent, in
his eagerness to secure any sort Of
documents" that could be used
against the Soviet Union. took a
hand, in the plot, with Orloff and
Michael Pavlonofsky, the other
forger on trial, doing the dirty
work. Knickerbocker has admitted
handing over 100-mark advance on
the $4,000 he promised for the
0apers. The forgeries, it is gen
rally agreed, were very crude af-
airs. 1t is possible that Knicker-
locker decided to turn the two
worthless over to the police only
after he discovered that the "docu-
ments" were too feeble to fool the
American public?
Knickerbocker WAS the chief wit
ness today and both DR.. Jaffe, Or
lofts lawyer, and Herbert Fuchs,
Pavlonovsky's attorney, launched at
tacks on him. The capitalist press
correspondent is, however, receiving
great consideration from the court
and is putting on a pious air when
attempts are made to identify him
with the activities of the two de-
PENDANTS, whose guilt is obvious to
everyone.
Both Czarist Officials.
Both Orloff and Pavlonovsky were
officials under the car Pavlonov-
sky has since the revolution had
checkcred career as stool-pigeon
tnd spy and was fired from the
ioviet Embassy in Berlin for petty
Ihieving. Both are identified with !
an international forgery ring which
