assembled to power with the great
sacrifices and bloodshed suffered by
the Mexican masses for the Revolu-
ton which he pretended to defend.
And during that period, up to the
time he gave the presidency to the
puppet president, Portes Gil, he has
enriched himself by the forcible ex-
preparation of land from the peas
ants. Gales, one of the wealthiest
men of Mexico today, has for years
used the most revolutionary phrases
in order to fool the masses.
"He arose to power with his pro-
misses to wage struggle against i'm
perialism and especially against
American imperialism which is now
dominating the economic and politi-
cal life of Mexico. General Gales.
the traitor, has used all means in
his power to crush the revolutionary
workers and peasants of his country
and thus pave the way for American
financiers to establish a permanent
control over Mexico.
InitiatOr of White Terror.
"Calles, the murderer, is respon-
sible for the white terror inflated by
the Federal Government of Portes
Gil by the orders of the Viceroy
Morrow, Wall Street ambassador to
Mexico. By the orders of General
Gales, head of the Government arm
les against the uprising of the mill
tarists on March 3, Jose Guadalupe
Rodriguez, treasurer of the National
Peasants League and member of the
Central Committee of the Communist
Party of Mexico, was murdered on
framed-up charge without any
legal procedure or even a court mar
tial sentence against him.
"The government of Mexico is now
openly prosecuting the revolutionary
workers and peasants who are ac-
lively resisting the domination of
Wall Street imperialism. AS re-
suit, the Communist Party is out
lawed and driven underground, the
office of Gel Machete," the official
organ of the Mexican Party, has
been closed. Wholesale assassina-
ton of the militants who dare to
challenge the power of American i'm
periaism, and who are actively or
ganizing the oppressed and exploited,
is taking place.
Solidarity of U. S., Mexico Workers
"The workers of the United States
must express their solidarity with
the workers and peasants of Mexico,
with the Communist Party of Mexi-
co. We must denounce Gales and
his government. We must help with
all means at our command our
brothers in Mexico who are waging
a heroic struggle against the traitors
at home and their imperialist mas
tiers.
"Down with American Imperial
ism! Down with the assassin Gales!
Down with the white terror in Mex
leo! Long live the Communist Party
of Mexico! Long live the solidarity
of the workers of the United States
an6 the workers and peasants of
Mexico!"

N { W JAP GOVT
KEEPS Up TERROR
Fall Due to Policy on
Chang

The recent fall of the reactionary
Tanaka ministry in Japan was pre-
cipitated by the belated "investiga-
Lion" into the killing of Marshal
Chang Tso-lin, Manchurian tool of
the Japanese imperialists.
Chang, who was being paid to
enslave Manchuria for Japanese ex-
ploitation, began, after the national
list march on Shanghai, to disregard
orders from Toxic. He was setting
himself up as absolute dictator of
the province when his masters, see
ing in him hindrance to the spread
of Japanese imperialism, decided to
get him out of the way at any cost.
AS a result, Chang was blown up
with a charge of dynamite in Man
churia last year by order of the
Tanaka imperialists.
All during the last session of the
imperial japanese diet, members of
the opposition minseito party, which
has succeeded the Tanaka govern
ment, used the assassination as a
political bludgeon with which to at
tack their rival reactionaries, not
on any "ethicaI" grounds but because
the militarists had not executed the
plot more skillfully. For whether
the minseito party or any other
bourgeois clique had been in the
saddle, it would have been forced
to act in exactly the same manner
with regard to this recalcitrant hire
ling.
Attempt to Hide.
Comments in the capitalist press,
doctored by the Japanese censor
ship, aim to create the impression
that the switch in cabinets is one
for the better. Thus Yuko Hama
guchi, head of the minseito party
and self-styled 'rliberal," is hailed
as the third untitled premier in
Japan's history" he is praised for
being Comparatively poor" and for
Giving frugally," all of which does
not nullify the fact that he is the
leader of one of the two reactionary
parties now yoking the Japanese
masses.
To hope that the new government
will tighten the burdens Of the work
ers and peasants is to hope that the
group of landlords and capitalists
who dictate to the untitled" Hama
guchi are less predatory than the
group of capitalists and aristocrats
who dictated Tanaka's policies.
Another illusion which the dis
patches from Japan seek to incul-
cate in the workers of the United
States is that the foreign policy of
the Japanese imperialists can be ex-
pected TO become less aggressive,
especially toward Marking, under
Baron Shidehara, the new minister
of foreign affairs, who has spent his
life in furthering the diplomatic in
trigues of the imperialists. This

various appeals, the T. U. Z. J..

machine guns, so per cent; heavy
machine guns, 70 per cent; light
field artillery, 65 per cent; heavy
artillery, 40 per cent; shells, So per
cent; tanks, 60 per cent. The rest
of their requirements are to be sup
piled by importations from the i'm
perialist countries, which are esti-
mated by the Polish General Staff
as amounting to $1,500,O0O,000 in
the first war year.
Even the peace footing of the
Polish and Roumanian armies is gi-
gantic. They have been increased
by $4,000 men, that is, II per cent
since 1928, while the army of the
Soviet Union was reduced by 20 per
cent to $4,000 during the same per-
iod. Then, there are the army re-
serves of Poland and Roumania,
which total four and a half to five
million men, not counting the mill
tarily organized fascist organiza-
I!ons. most of which are armed and
set regular military training, which
total more than 100000 men. The
plain unvarnished truth is that
within one month of the declaration
of war the Polish and Roumanian
fighting forces against the Soviet
Union can be raised to 100 divisions
of infantry totalling 100000 men.
France To Rush Troops.
When we remember that Poland
discusses 65 per cent of it's total
budget for military expenditures,
and that the present war strength
of the two border states is almost
as great as the armed forces which
Germany and Austria Hungary were
able to throw against Russia dur
ing the World War, calling on their
very last reserves, there can be no
doubt of the danger threatening the
Soviet Union.
And then, there are the military
formations which France and Eng
land are to put at the disposal of
Poland and Roumania in case of
war. The French Government is
already considering the plan Of piac-
ing special expeditionary force OF
five to twelve divisions at Poland s
disposal in case of a war against
the Soviet Union. Negotiations are
being carried on with the German
government for assurances of free
transport Of troops and war ma
terial.
Czecho-Slovakia must also be
reckoned with, as its very extensive
munitions industry (the famous
Skoda works, for instance) is looked
to as a supply base for Roumania
in case of war against the Soviet
Union.
And the very government which
is feverishly supplying both Poland
and Roumania with the materials
and sinews of war, with guns, shells,
airplanes and tanks, has the eff
frontery to offer the Soviet Union
it's mediation in the Manchurian
dispute" And all these countries
are also signatories of the Kellogg
Pact which is to prevent warl
1t is the solemn duty of the prole-
tarians of all the world to mobilize
against the threat of war against
the Soviet Union. Make the First
of August an impressive warning
to the capitalists Of America that
the American working class will not
tolerate war against the first work
ers' state in the world.

Judge George Calhoun was asked
