PROTEST TUES. AT
YOkINEN HEARING
Fight Deportation Of
Militant

| NEW YORK.-Native and foreign
born, Negro and white workers will
| join tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
in protest demonstration against
the Labor Departments effort to rail-
road August Yollinen, Finnish Com
nunist, out of the country because he
took a thoroughly Communist stand
on the question of race equality last
winter. The demonstration will take
place in front of the Federal Build
ing, Park Place and Broadway.
This show of mass interest in Yo-
kinen's case is timed with the hear
ing on the right of Yokinen's attor-
ney to appeal the Department of La
Dor Deportation ruling in the United
States District Court.
Yokinen was arrested in Spring of
the current year after he submitted
to- a Communist Party trial on q
charge of White Chauvinism" At
the time he was janitor of a Finnish
workers club in Harlem and charges
we're preferred against him in the
Communist Party because he had re-
fused to give to Negro visitors in the
club the privileges which everyone
else had
At the trial, Yokinen admitted that
his attitude had been Communist.
He reaffirmed his adherence to COM
munist principle and joined the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
as proof of his sincerity Shortly af-
ter this trial. which was widely re-
ported in the New York papers, Yo-
hnen was seized on a deportation
warrant.
Even if Yokinen is granted the
right to bring his case before the
United States District Court, he has
little justice to hope for. unless his
legal fight is backed by strong mass
sentiment.
The effort to deport Yokinen
brings out more clearly than ever the
fact that Secretary of Labor Doak's
deportation drive is aimed, among
other things, to divide native and
foreign white and black workers. AL
out at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

u. S. Finances To Be
Affected

The National government has de-
cided that Great Britain must 20 off
the gold standard, according to lat
est reports from London. This was
decided on at the meeting of the
leading British bankers with Ram
say ManDonald, socialist leaders Of
the National government, which took
place Saturday night. So serious is
the situation that 1t has been decid-
ed to close the stock exchange Non
day. While the decision is to keep
the stock exchange closed only one
day it is almost inevitable that the
exchange will be forced TO stay closed
for quite period.

out that since about July is about

Even the bourgeois London CORE
spondent of the New York Evening
Post had to admit the tremendous
effect that the Suspension Of the gold
standard by Great Britain would
have.
Of a world wide financial cata-
clysm is to be averted, America
must perforce take action quickly.
1t must be remembered that were
highland to depart from the gold
standard, the effect on America
would be great"
England has already gone off Of
the gold standard The entire capt.
talist world will soon shake as re-
suit. This was pointed out by Flan-
din, French Minister of Finance on
Saturday. Flandid stated that.
'If the English lose confidence
In sterling, it would mean univer-
sal disaster-a catastrophe fan
throughout the world. That is why
France has interviewed with Amer
lea in recent credit extension) and
will not hesitate to intervene
again"
The financial crisis on top of the
industrial crisis greatly sharpenS the
danger of war, especially in view of
the Japanese attack on British mar
kets in China.
The inevitable suspension OF the
gold standard was pointed out by one
Of the leaders Of the Communist Par
ty Of Great Britain more than a
month ago. Conrade R. Paine Dutt
in the September issue Of the Labor
Monthly pointed out that at this
time it was practically Impossible
that Great Britain could stop the gap

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - The
frantic fear of the world inperialists
that the growing disaffection in the
armed forces and potential military
forces will prevent their use against
the rising struggles of the working
class is expressed in the reported
sudden decision" of President Hoover
to accept an invitation TO address
the national convention of the Am

Detroit.
Hoovers appearance before the
convention will be used to mobilize
and pledge the war veterans for use
against the millions of starving IN
employed workers this winter and for
the war preparations against the
Soviet Union. His address will also
be designed to blackjack the militant
sentiment of the Legion rank and file
for the immediate cash payment of
the Graveyard Bonus to relieve the
intense suffering of over 100000 IN
employed war veterans and their
families.

Adopt Resolution To
Stand By Militant
British Sailors
q. S. Seamen Protest
Pledge to Defend the
Soviet Union

About five thousand workers dem
onstrated Saturday in Union Square
in New York in solidarity with the
militant actions of the British sea-
men who struck against the hunger
program Of the Macdonald National
government, in solidarity with the
revolt Of the Chinean sailors and in
protest against the attempt of the
capitalist class of Canada to outlaw
the Communist Party of Canada,
One Of the largest delegations to
the demonstration was that Of the
marine workers led by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, came to
the Square in a body from the DEM
onstration which they had had at
the waterfront at Whitehall and at
South Streets. The marine workers
brought with them a large red BAN
ner which had been sent from the
militant Chine-o seamen to their
American brot' ers through the LAR
inc Workers Industrial Union.
The workers at the demonstration
enthusiastically adopted a resolution
of solidarity with the actions of the
British and the Chilean sailors and
pledged to fight deterrnined1y in the
defense OF the Soviet Union against
which the capitalists are carrying on
a more vicious campaign as the re-
suit of the militant actions Of the
workers throughout the world. The
resolution closed with the following
words:
This mass demonstration, called
by the Communist Party, sends rs
heartiest greetings TO the British
sailors and appeals to them to
unite with British and Indian
workers and peasants in the strug-
gle against British imperialism and
for setting up Soviet Govern
n1ent in England. We send our
heartiest greetings to the workers,
peasants and Red sailors of Chile
and condemn the death erdict of
the Chilean Government against
these brave fighters. We send our
heartiest greetings to the Com
munist Party and workers and
small farmers Of Canada and de-
clare our everlasting solidarity
with the Canadian Party"

ically that if the imperialist gov

Victory Again for
Furniture Workers
All Demands Won; 9Th
Shop to Settle

Last Friday another uptolster
shop, Saul Kass, submitted to all the
demands of the Furniture Workers
Industrial Union. The main demands
we're: 10 hours a week, dollar hour
minimum, control of job, equal divi-
sion Of work, no discrimination, rec
ignition of union and shop commit
tees, etc.
Out of the twenty shops with three
hundred workers that have struck
since the beginning of the strikes
three weeks ago, six of them with a
hundred workers have already settled
with all union demands. Every day
since the beginning new shops came
out and the policy of the strike COM
mittee is to spread the strike fur
ther throughout the city to all other
crafts of the furniture industry.
AL furniture workers are called to
report at a. m. at 46 Ten Eyck ST.,
Brooklyn, corner of Lorimer, for
strong picketing Of the various
struck shops.

frighten the Soviet Union.
The intervention plot failed-but
only because of the resistance of the
Soviet Union against provocation and
firm stand for peace but using the
iron resistance of the Red Army
against attack, backed up by the en-
tire Soviet masses and the solidarity
of the workers of the whole world
particularly the sympathetic support
Of the Chinese masses.
The Soviet Union not only told
StiInson to mind his own business,
and made him a laughing stock of
the world around, but exposed the
anti-Soviet war policy OF American
imperialism.
The present seizure by Japan OF
Manchuria clear up to Chang Chun,
the Southern terminus of the Chin
csc Eastern Railway, again shows the
encroachment of imperialism toward
the Soviet Union, as does the fact
that the Japanese spies executed by
the Chinese were involved in "nak-
ing maps OF Manchuria and Mon
golia."
Thus, one of the principal points
of Importance in the seizure Of Man
churia by Japan is the armed i'm
perialist approach to the borders of
Soviet territory. The New York
American, Hearst's paper. in cooking
up a scare headline of Russian

Great Britain off Gold Standard Finance Structure Shakes
US. Leads War Plan on
SoViet Behind Talk OF
"Non Violation of PACT

1t is not an accirent that the Hoo
yer government, trying to cover its
policy of waiting for development"
in Manchuria by the statement that
there is no reason thus far" TO rim
voking the Kellok Pact, refers to the
intervention of Stirlson in the con-
flict between China and the Soviet
Union in 1929. The N. Y. Times, re-
porting the Washington attitude,
adds:
"When soldiers of the Nationalist
Government Of China and of the
Russian Soviet clashed in Manchur-
ia, Secretary Stimson called on both
governments to live up to the OBJ
legations OF the Kellog Pact. An
indignant response came from the
Soviet Government, which virtually
told Secretary Stimson to mind his
own business, but the outcome OF the
disagreement was that war was
averted."
The N. Y. Times conceals the diff
ference between the two events:
Japan attacking China and seiz-
ing Manchuria, prepares the division
of China and relies upon supporters
among Chinese n1ilitarists.
In 1929, the Chinese generals were
instruments of world imperialism,
first of all of American imperialism,
and organized an attack on the So
Wet to provoke the Soviet Govern
ment, to test the resistance Of the
Red Army and try out the possibility
for intervention. The intervention
of Stimson was aimed to encourage

 The governments conserva- tion policy in Alaska is giving the Jig fellows a monopoly ou the mineral resources of the Territory. There is practically no new mining development in Alaska. What production of gold there is; comes from old es- tablished properties.

 MT. Kinney formerly was state game and fish commissioner of the state of Washington. He is presi- dent of the Neptune Fish Products, Inc, and of the Bonn Fish Packing company, of Seattle. These com panies specialize in herring and salmon food products and draw largely on Alaska for supplies.

 The Seattle man is a firm be- liever in the oft-repeat expression that more money will be made eventually from by-products of fish than was ever made.
 He declared that under new methods of quick-freezing, allow ing wider sale of fish products, it is an economic crime to throw away by-productS of fish which can be converted into food for hu- man consumption.
