WORKERS VOTE TO DEMONSTRATE IN UNION SO, MAY lst!
London Meet
Sinks: pact .
Hits the Rocks

LONDON, April 4.-That the RI
valries between the bandit imperial.
list powers at London long ago wreck.
ed the Five-Power conference was
given another striking proof today
by the announcement of the Italian
delegation in brusque terms that nc
agreement can be reached under the
security pact" if Italian imperialism
is not permitted to build war arm
aments equal to the 100000 tonnage
demanded by the French.
This rift is but one of the many
among the imperialist robbers. Most
outstanding is that between British
and American imperialism. The CAPT
talist press is strangely silent on the
question of "parity" of naval arms
of British and United States CAPT
talism. Why is this? Didn't Mac
Donald and Hoover tell the world
after their Rapidan fiesta that
everything was lovely? The stark
fact is that the sharpening antagon-
isms between these bandit powers
have made it impossible for them to
talk any form of agreement on arms.
The only point on the agenda, and
the one they find most difficult, is
to dissolve the already smashed con-
ference in such a manner as to make
the masses believe that something
was in reality accomplished. Even
this they will not be able to do.
Just a few weeks ago, one of the
Wall Street delegates said that they
would "sit in London till they settle"
Now they hum a different tune. Ten
tative sailing arrangements have
been made for April %, with even
paper results further from accom-
plishment than week before the
opening of the race-for- arms meet.
Only one point of agreement has been
achieved, and on that point the i'm
perialist bandits had little differ
ences before the London meet--im-
perialist war against the growing
success of the Soviet Union in build
ing Socialism under the Five Year
Plan.

FIGHT SHARPENS
BETWEEN CHANG
AND YEN IN China
Imperial Antagonist
Widens Between US,
Japan, Britain
Yen's Arrest Ordered
Admit Peasants Fight
Heavy Taxes

SHANGHAI, April 4.--The State
Council at Marking, the tool of the
American imperialists, today issued
an order to arrest and punish Yen
Hsi-shan, the henchman Of the Jap
anese and British imperialists in
China, and the leader of the Anti
Marking campaign. This order is
the formal opening of hostilities by
Marking against it's militarist rivals
and is the elimination of conflict
between the different militarist
groups which has been going on
since the conclusion of the last mill
tarist war last December.
The frequent occurrence of mill
tarist wars in China which are pre-
liminary skirmishes of the coming
imperialist war, represents the in
classification of antagonisms be-
tween the British, Japanese and
American imperialists.
Yen Hsi-shan, the leader of the
anti-Nanking campaign, formally
assured the imperialist masters in
China of his loyalty yesterday
morning by delivering personal
communication through a special
representative to the different for
eign legations in Picking. Yen
guarantees to protect foreigners in
his territory and begs the imperial
lists not to help his rival.
An anti-Nanking Chinese news
paper published in Tientsin yester-
day exposes many corruptions and
oppressive measures practiced by
the Marking government. 1t re-
veals that land taxes for ten years
ahead have been forcibly collected
in many places by the Marking
government.
An Associated Press Shanghai
despatch yesterday quotes a state
ment from an American missionary,
Bishop Huntington, which confirms
the exposure made by the Chinese
press. He said: "The bandit scourge
which is gripping the Yangtze VAL
ley and Southern China is traceable
to the unprecedented heavy taxes
the Nationalist Government at
Marking is imposing upon the popu-
lace. The missionary also testifies
that every peasant in this region
possesses firearms.

TENANTS LEAGUE
FIGHTS ATTACKS
Landlords Fear Open
Air Meetings

Angered at the growing mass
support of the Yorkville Tenants
League, landlords and storekeepers
have attempted to break up open
air meetings of the league which
have attracted large crowds of
workers.
Last Saturday a new and more
vicious attack was launched against
the growing tenants movement
when the landlord-capitalist robbers
sent drunken hoodlums and thugs to
break up the meeting. The meeting
was held on the corner of Second
Ave. and 10th st. and had proceeded
for about an hour and a half when
the attack began about 10 o'clock. A
drunken thug rushed the platform
while Albert Glassford, a Negro
fellow-tenant was speaking. The
speaker mounted the platform again
and continued while the workers and
tenants held the thug and hustled
him out of the crowd.
The hoodlum returned few min
utes later with a policeman who de-
manded permit and tried to stop
the meeting. They left.
Again the hoodlums returned
this time in full force, sabout zoe
strong. They rushed the platform
throwing the speaker to the ground
The tenants resisted bravely, but
were outnumbered.

Tomorrow marks the 18th ami

world war. Today this event will be
utilized by the capitalist govern

wage cutters and military men will
stage a jingoistic parade up Fifth
