The bosses of this section have or
ganized new fascist organization
known as the "Clubbing Party

Dor Defense and the Trade Union
Unity League, the representatives
Of which organizations have been
holding a ,5hole series of success

The workers are fighting this new
attempt of the bosses to stop the
organization of the workers around
here and assure the representatives
of the Communist Party, the LID.

their speakers and organizers come
they will gladly attend the meet

VAGUE TALK OF
india DOMINION
Benn's Promise Chance
for Gandhi to Quit

The United Press reports an in
terview with Captain Wedgewood
Benn, Labor Party" secretary of
state for India in MacDonald's cab
met, in which he solemnly assures
the world that Dominion Status
will be granted to India" Dominion
status, even if granted, will be little
help for the Indian workers and
peasants, meaning a slight change
of masters only. 1t will be purely
capitalist government that carries
on British imperialism's work in
India, and "order will be secured"
by British bombing planes and rifles
before any such tinkering with the
forms of government take place, &C
cording- to the Labor Party captain.
No one takes seriously even the
promise of dominion status" he'd
ged around with restrictions as it
is. 1t is sop to the Gandhi move
ment, providing an excuse, which,
pretending to believe as no one else
does, they can climb down from a
movement for independence which
is already largely out of their con-
troll.
The reported bombing in five
cities in India now appears even
more like battle with the police,
on the admission of the British gov
eminent that in these affairs con-
siderable number of police were in
jured. 1t is admitted that a police
inspector was injured at Lyallpur
and constable wounded at Gujrn-
valid.

ish Imperialism is behind Yen Hsi-
shan in the seizure of the Tientsin
customs. This is absolutely a wrong
understanding Of the situation.
The Marking government, enjoy
ing the legal status of being the
central government of China, gets
all the customs receipts after the
amount guaranteed for the pay
ments for foreign debts and inter
ests are deducted. Since the Nan
king government is dominated by
American Imperialism, the fact that
this amount of money goes to the
war chests of Marking means the
strengthening of the enemy of Brit
ish Imperialism is it surprising
then that the British imperialists
should want their own agent, Yen
Hsi-shan, to seize all the customs
within his power and thus
strengthen himself while simultane-
ously weakening his enemy by ap-
propriating this money to his own
support?
The whole episode, which has by
no means been finished, seems to
be merely quarral between Chang
Kai-shek and Yen Hsi-shan. But
as a matter of fact it is another
chapter in the history of the ever
increasingly intensified conflicts be-
tween American and British imper-
ialisms in China.

J on Face of British Imperialism

The seizure of the Tientsin Gus
toms by Yen Hsi-shan, through his
British agent" Lennox Simpson
(alias Putnam Wheale), precipitates
much diplomatic activity on the part
of the Marking government.
The central political council at
Marking, the willing tool of Amer
lean imperialism, issued declara-
ton Wednesday denouncing Yen's
action and instructed the foreign
minister, c. T. Wang, to ask the
British minister in China, Sir Miles
Lampson, to punish Simpson for
accepting" the post of commits
sioner of customs at Tientsin from
YSn Hsi-shan.

Simpson wouldn't have made such
an important move as he did with
out the knowledge" "a stronger
word here would be more accurately
of the British government. Under
the circumstances, the demand to
punish Simpson amounts to a dip

Imperialism.

nature of imperialist contradictions
in China may think that since the

More Energy Needed to
Build Fighting |Daily"

1t is $1,000 a day we said must
be collected by our forces in the
field. Inactivity in this campaign
will only multiply our difficulties.
These past four days have been
extra critical. And why? Because
for June 10, IA, 16 and II the total
receipts for our fighting fund, our
fund to save the Daily Worker, our
fund to strengthen it so that we
could fight the attack of the White
House investigators" was only
$273.95. This means that the daily
average was only $65 instead of
$1,000.
This cannot go on. We can not
keep the Daily Worker going on
this basis. AS the first move to cor
rect this all Party units must begin
demanding reports of collections
made upon the campaign lists given
to Party members. Every Party
member must turn in what he has
collected and keep his list to collect
more. Every Party member must
be requested to collect energetically
for the rest of this month. Com
mittees must be named at once in
every city to visit workers organ
izations. Organize a mass collec-
ton, a picnic for the Daily in your
city.
We have repeated this program so
often that all of you should know
it by now. We want to better the
Daily, not weaken it. And you must
exert efforts to strengthen it with
out delay.

Gingold speak, and elected a COM
mittee of seven to call mass meet

The conference yesterday in Avery
hotel was one result.
The international gang was
frightened and sent Gingold and
Kessler to break up the sessions.
Fineberg, Gingold, Kramer, and a
score of gangsters sat in the hotel
lobby, while Bonnie Colkin, manager
of the Boston raincoat makers went
into the conference and pleaded with
the workers to invite Gingold to the
meeting.
The declaration of B. Goodman,
chairman of the meeting and execu-
tive member of the local, that if
Gingold could go to the bosses to
build union for them, the raincoat
makers could-get along without Gin
gold and handle their own affairs
met with tremendous applause.
In three hours of discussion the
rank and file members thoroughly
unmasked the activities of the ruling
clique for the last several years.
1t was Kessler, vice chairman of
local 20 who made the threat to sup
ply scabs. Colkin threatened the
meeting would be broken up.

of: Wexler, Goodman, Cohen, Levitt

Hoover, Stimson and Co. disagree
with Johnson about the treaty. In
their opinion, the treaty places
American Imperialism in a superior
position, since it does not really
prevent it from building up the
most powerful navy for use in the
approaching imperialist war and at
the same time enables the imper-
ialists to pose as "peace lovers" be-
fore the masses.

1t may not be supe1fluous to re-

of Germany, Chang Kai-shek in
China, and all the bunch of the

is a very significant reflection of
the enthusiasm of the Soviet work
ers.
The construction of socialism in
the Soviet Union is advancing with
such giant strides, that even the
American engineers and technicians
have been caught by the enthusiasm
of the Russian workers and are be-
coming more and more convinced of
the success of socialism in the So
Wet Union.
