statement issued yesterday by Dis
trict 2 of the Communist Party.
Events in Manchuria, where hun
dreds of Soviet officials have been
jailed, and attempts made to destroy
Soviet Union control in the Far
Eastern Railway in plot plainly
instigated by the imperialist powers,
prove the threat of new imperialist
wars which menace the working
class. In this years election cam

will be called upon to organize for
resistance against the growing war
danger and for defense of the Soviet
Union, under the. leadership of the
Communist Party. p
Fight Naturalization.
"At the same time, the program
to be adopted at Sundays confer
ence will be battle-cry to mobilize
the workers to fight the rationaliza-
tion schemes of the capitalist class,
which has manifested itself in New
York in intensive speeding up in
every industry, in wage-cuts, in
union-smashing drives, in brutal ter
rorism against striking workers.
Resolutions will be introduced
urging the cloakmakers to reject the
sell-out of the scab International La
dies Garment Workers Union and
strike for better conditions under
the leadership of the needle work
ers industrial union. This is in
sharp contrast to the treachery Of
the Socialist Party, which in New
York and Brooklyn conferences has
pledged its support to the company
union in its betrayals. Thus, the
Socialist Party stands again exposed
as an agent of the bosses, and the
militant needle workers, who have
found in the Communist Party a
staunch defender of their interests,
will rally their forces for active par
ticipation in the Communist cleo
tion drive.
''The election conference Sunday
will inaugurate campaign that will
reach every working class district,
every factory and militant workers
organization, under the slogan of
class against class. Candidates will
.be chosen for city and local offices.

New Terror Campaign
On USSR Officials

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., July 12.-
Direct communication with Harbin,
Manchuria, where hundreds of So
Wet Railway officials were yester-
day removed from their positions by
Chinese officials acting under the
instigation of European and Ameri-
can imperialist workers, has ap-
parently been cut off.
The foreign office here has been
exerting all efforts to obtain a de-
tailed account of the occurrences at
Harbin. After this is received,
course of action will be determined
upon.
According to announcement by
Foreign Minister c. T. Wang, diplo-
matte relations between China and
the Soviet Union have been severed.
The Harbin consular body is re-
ported about to request mediation
between the government of the So
Wet Union and the Manchurian mill
tarist government, over the seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway by
the latter. Trade has stopped, and
the Soviet manager and assistant
manager and their families have left
for Siberia. The Chang government
has forbidden all meetings. 1t is
reported that L. B. Sarehriakov is
the U. S. S. R. plenipotentiary on
the way to Hardin.
Long Planned Attack.
The terror campaign against the
Soviet organization still continues.
According to a delayed report to
Washington by American Minister
MacMurray, so Communists have
been arrested by July 10, before the
wholesale arrests of yesterday and
today became known. Evidence of a
long planned attack on the Soviet
Union was seen in the fact that the
news of the big conspiracy was sup
pressed in Washington, and by the
British government, who were in
command of the facts five days ago.
Old Fake Charge.

cause of its tremendous possibilities,

Two of the Clarke brothers, whose
bank failed for S5,000,000 are in Jail
because they will not admit possess
sion of enough property to raise the
bail of $4,000 each.
Hundreds of depositors, many of
them women, continue to file claims
to life savings, insurance money,
etc. They may get as much as five
cents on the dollar, perhaps less,
the auditors say.
The Clarkes are charged with usu-
ally substituting worthless stock as
security for the good money they
drew out of their bank. Much of
what they took is in the name of
other persons, friends and relatives,
the prosecutor says.

False Messiah.
We are not surprised at such
slanderous attacks from Garvey, as
we know it is due to the attack on
his pseudo-policy by the American
Communist Party, which exposed
nis betrayal and his retreat before
difficulties he could not avoid other
than by raising the delusion of
an African empire as the sal
vation of the Negro race. No
agent of the white imperialist class
could stoop any lower in attacking
the American Communist Party as
a party whose members belong to
the lynchorcrats of America. Gar
vey tries to spread such false ideas
with the expectations that the Ne
gro masses would support his poll
cies of giving up the fight for
equal rights in America under the
leadership of the American Commu-
mist Party by going back to Africa.

BY HAROLD WILLIAMS.

On August 1, while the revolu-
tionary workers and farmers of Eu-
rope, Africa, Asia and America will
assemble in gigantic protest-demon-
strations against the danger of a
new imperialist war, Marcus Gar
vey, the self appointed president
general of Africa and leader of
"four hundred million" Negroes, as
he claims the Universal Negro I'M
provement Association represents
throughout the world, will also as
semble on August l in Kingston,
Jamaica, British West Indies.
This will be the sixth interna-
tional convention of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association.
While Garvey claims it will be one
of the greatest conventions ever
held by the association, we can ven
ture to say that no tangible results
will be accomplished by this asso-
ciation in bringing the struggle of
the Negro workers and peasants in
coordination with the revolutionary
class-conscious white workers of Eu-
rope, America. and especially the
Soviet Union.
Scurrilous Attack.
We are too well aware of Gar
Vey's vaccilating policies to believe
that he, the "Negro Moses" will
fight imperialism. We have only to
quote how viciously he attacked the
Communist Party and the Trade
Union Movement in his book en-
Titled "The Philosophy and Opinion
Of Marcus Garvey"
On page 20 we find these words:
Il am of the opinion that the group
OF whites, from whom Communists
are made, in America, as well as
trade unionists and members of the
Communist Party, is more danger

The call of the Committee of 25,

ERA OF MARVELS
VISIONED BY DAVIS

"I believe our great American
highway system is due to break up
human habits of thousands of years
and replace them with others bene-
fetal to our people," he said. "Our
great cities breed ill-health. They
create centers of discomfort. They
rob life of all we were meant to en-
Joy.
1T bedieve these roads you men
make possible are going to work a
miracle in human existence, by
spreading human beings where they
belong and where they yearn to be
over the surface of the earth, far
apart to breathe and exercise and
play by day, and know what it is to
rest in quiet at night"
Davis drew picture Of 100-foot
roads, lighted at night, operated like
railroads and beautified with trees
and shrubs.
Every one of these soads will be
city street." he continued, "but
every home abutting on them will
be given its room for gardens and
flowers, for play and exercise and
all other delights of life"

CHICAGO, Dec. IAN age when

Speaking before the National Paw

system of wide, elevated highways
radiating from New York, Chicago
and other great manufacturing CEN

would shoot each morning, park
their automobiles in garages on top
of their places of business and de-
scend to their offices or factories in
