A Gratifying Decision

1t is highly gratifying to read, in a dispatch from
Washington, that the United States government will not
Join the other powers in any attempt to force the Chinese
nationalist government into abandoning its announced
intention OF withdrawing extraterritorial rights.
The Chinese plan to compel all foreigners in China
to abide by Chinese laws and courts hereafter. This,
surely. is China's right. The United States, for decades,
has stood for fair and honest treatment in it's dealings
with China. To use force to prevent China from taking
the first step toward national independence and integrity
would be utterly inconsistent with our traditional policy.

SMASH MEETING
Make 1t Plain That You Can't Vote
For Just Anybody You Want To.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., July
1.-THE state election campaign
committee of the Communist Party
held a meeting here, attended by
1000 workers largely from the big
johnson & johnson factory. The
police had refused to grant per-
nit. The meeting was at the cor
ner of French and New Sts., at
8 p. m.
O. Blumenburg of the state COM
mittee was arrested before she got
a chance to speak, and worker in
the audience named Collins was ar
rested for merely saying, "Let her
talk"
Both were beaten up on the way
to the police station. The judge
tried to make them promise not to
hold any more meetings in this
town, but they refused.
Went Right Back.
They were released, and Blumen-
burg went Immediately back to the
corner to continue the meeting.
The Vetel rs of Foreign Wars
had modified in the meantime, led
by one Kessler. Before the speak
ing had started, they attacked pros
pective speakers and members of
the audience. Blumenberg and Col
Inns were again slugged, and SER
ious injuries were given worker
in the crowd named Sibelia. He
was knocked down and jumped on
by Johnson & Johnson's fascists.
Other workers were also attacked.
There will be another meeting
soon. A defense corps must be
organized.

French Communists Support Indo-C Chinese

PARIS IP.C.).-The communists
and the revolutionary workers in
general are the only elements in
France who fight persistently
against the French imperialist
terror in Indo-China and in support
of the Indo-Chinese national-revo-
lutionists.
During the course of the debate
on the situation in Indo-China in
the French Chamber of Deputies,
he communist deputy Andre Ber-
thon made a splendid fighting
speech against the crimes of French
Imperialism in Indo-China and the
perfidy of the French authorities
towards the Tndo-Chinese students
arrested in France who have since
been deported in all secrecy to
Tndo- China over Maseilles. Their
only "crime" was that they had
demonstrated on the streets in sup
port of the demand for the freedom
of their country.

the bourgeois deputies and from

GRATING FOREMAN dies
IN FIGHT WITH VICTIMS

PUEBLO, Colo. (By Mail).- Mel
vim Calhoun, a foreman in the wire
mill of the Pueblo Steel Works, was
stabbed to death on Friday, June 20,
while on his way home. 1t is COM
mon talk among the workers in
Pueblo that Calhoun was killed by
several men from whom he had been
extorting graft. In his capacity as
foreman, Calhoun made a practice
of giving preference to certain men
in the way of allowing them to
work-providing they paid for this
privilege by handing over certain
amount of graft to him on payday.
Because of this and because If his
constant slave-driving, Calhoun was
hated by the men in the wire mills.
To date no one has been arrested
in connection with the stabbing.
1t is clear that the Pueblo steel
workers, driven to desperation by
their miserable conditions, are ready
to act. But this action must be in
the direction of organizing under the
banner of the militant Metal Work
ers' Industrial League, and not in
outbursts of individual terrorism.

the colonial socialists, Comrade
Berthon showed how the great ma
tional-revolutionary movements in
China, India, Indo-China and other
colonial and semi-colonial countries
would finally destroy capitalist
countries. The Communist Party
appealed to the workers, peasants
and soldiers to fraternize with their
Indo- Chinese comrades and turn
against their own oppressors, the
capitalist imperialist bourgeoisie
and it's agents.
During the debate in the Cham
Der, the French Young Communist
League organized a fine street
demonstration in the XIII Arond-
issement of Paris in support of the
Indo-Chinese revolution. The young
workers carried placards bearing
slogans against the French govern
ment, against the terror and for the
release of the prisoners. Singing
revolutionary songs and the "Inter-
rationale" the procession marched
through the streets and ended up
with huge mass meeting.

tSlun1s OF Toxic" Has
Brilliant ACTING In It

Hollywood, skillfully filming its
propaganda for American imperial
ism, is occasionally shown up as
pretty amateurish, after all. Virtue
lin capitals), doll-faces clarifying
not the American girl but the
pseudo-morality of the American
petty-bourgeoisie, the happy ending
for sleek haired sons of the rich
and dainty bourgeois maidens-
these are inevitably put to shame
whenever a foreign picture with a
little attention to realism comes
along.
"Slums of Tokyo" now showing
at the 18th Street Theatre, a story
of the Yoshivara, amusement center
of Tokyo, has much to commend it
besides it's wonderful Impressions
tic photography. 1t was chopped
up by the U. S. censors, because it
deals, not only with the japanese
slum proletariat, but with the mad
love of a young japanese for a
prostitute, and, morally, it is not
pretty.
The story, made obscure in places
by the butchery of the censors,
shows the selfless devotion of a
young girl, who sacrifices every
thing for her brother and his unfor-
tunate love. II ends abruptly and
is in many places far from pleas
ant. And still it achieves great
ness rarely found in the Hollywood
product.
The acting is superb, unequaled
by the best American movies. The
settings are, with justice, COM
pared with those of "Dr. Caligari."
The picture has great defects. 1t

BOLIVIAN PRESS IN
ADMISSION THAT THE
MASSES ALONE FOUGHT
But the MiIitarists Stole the Fruits of Their
Victory Because They Lacked True Leaders
However, the Oppressed Indian Nation Shows
Fight; Clear Communist Party Needed

Bolivian dispatches, quoting GEL
Diario" of La Paz, say that the
paper assures the impossibility of
any attempt to restore the previ-
Gus reaetionary regime Saying
nothing about the new regime being
reactionary, of lourse), and admit
ting that the masses without
money, without leaders, and almost
without arms" overthrow the Siles
dictatorship.
That the masses had no true lead
ere such as would have been fur
nished by strong Communist Par
ty, is evident from the fact that
there seems to have been no resist
ance to the new military dictators,
who came in after the masses had
seized power, when these dictators
ordered the masses to surrender ali
arms they had seized in the capture
of the city.
Dispatches from points in Chile,
however, quoting travellers from
Bolivia, give a view not quite so
beautiful of the blessed harmony"

in the steel mills for % years and

the inhuman speed-up which is being

According to the conpany's rules,
Simonich's life is worth $4,000, but
it is very doubtful that Simonich's

money, as the Rockefeller interests

Hoquiam Wash,
To the Daily Worker,
New York, N. Y.
The strike of the Single Weav-
ers to date is very well. On Mon
day morning the 23rd there re-
manned but five strike breakers on
the inside of the M. R. Smith
Single Co. plant, a large number
of the strikers who were on picket
duty gained entrance to the cook
house where they exhorted the scabs
to come out or more drastic efforts
would be used, the men said that
they would come out if they were
given time to get their belongings,
but they hid out by going to the
woods where the Co. carries on it
logging operations.
These five are regular Federated
Industries men paid by that organ
ization strike or no strike. The
pickets retired from the cook and
bunk houses to re-organize and go
in at latter date. There is two
or three deputies there but they
are not of the hard boiled kind and
the strikers can brush them aside.
1t was desided not to make any at
tempt on Tuesday morning, but to
call a special meeting for that
evening to better organize their
forces and be prepared to take these
men out bodily.
On Tusday afternoon the FEEDER
ated Industries men met with rep
resentatives Of the Single Co. in
the mill office, one of the T.U.U.L,
pickets crawled under the office
and listened in on the conference
the manager Of the Single Co
wanted to quit the fight but the
spokesman for the Federated In
dustries tried to point out where
the Co. should still continue the
strike.

be a genuine article, this was for
the purpose of frightening the
strikers but it was a failure. Tues
day afternoon late three deputies
entered the W. I. R. camp and
served the fake papers and looked
for the woman" but Comrade
Taylor was in Aberdeen 80 miles
away.
This shows plainly that they fear
the leaders and the leadership far
more than they do the workers, and
they know also that each little
victory gained puts more fight into
the strikers.
The Federated Industries is the
leader of the mill men as we'll as
other industries and it is in times
Of strike that they can draw the
most out of the treasures of the
member companies, therefore it is
to their interest to see that the
strike is continued.
The loggers and sawmill men
are watching this struggle and if
1t proves a success then there is a
likelihood that they will make all
effort to regain their lost ground.
Here is fertile field for the t. u.
U. l.. but there is lack of organ
izers the few that is here have to
divide their efforts to carry on

the T.U.U.L. We need funds with
which to spread our propaganda to
all of the workers this must now
be done while the minds of the
workers are ready to receive it.
AS this story is finished news
comes in that at breakfast time a
large number of the strikers entered
the premises and took out the last
of the strike-breakers from the M.
r. Smith mill. One of the dicks fired
tear bomb into the cookhouse to
run the strikers out but it had the
same effect on the strike-breakers
and they came cut into the arms of
the waiting strikers

says leaflet urging the workers
of Mt. Vernon to join the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, and to sup
port the young workers who are
being rushed to prison for holding
street meetings. The leaflet says:
Sixteen young workers, MEM
bers of the Young Communist
League have already served 10 days
in solitary confinement on bread
and water for daring to demand the
7-hour day, 5-day week, 6 days for
young workers, full months vaca-
ton with pay, for young workers,
a minimum wage of $50 week,
equal pay for equal work, and for
full social, political, and economic
equality for Negro workers, here in
Mount Vernon. Eleven more young
workers are being tried tomorrow
for speaking to and organizing the
workers of Mt. Vernon to fight for
these demands. The bosses here
are afraid that the workers will or
ganize and under the leadership of
the Communist Party, the only
workers party, and the Young Com
munist League, will force them to
give in to these demands, so they
try to beat up and arrest all who
fight for the working class"

livia. These travellers say that
fears are felt in La Paz that there
may be uprisings of the Indians.
These Indians have every justifi
cation to rise, as they are practical
ly enslaved and terribly oppressed.
Pure blood Indians are over 80 per
cert of the population, and rs per
cent more of mixed Indian and
white. Thus they are clearly an op
pressed nationality, and should have
the right to determine their own
form of government, a right denied
to them by force, force backed by
imperialism, Yankee or English.
The travellers also say that much
of the soldiery are 'discontented"
with the new government, and hence
new disorders" are feared.
The new military dictatorship
cannot solve the terrific crisis, and
what is needed now (indeed, before
this!) is a Communist Party with
a clear policy and ability to lead
the masses.
