The granting of the loan shows
the speeded up preparations for
war against the Soviet Union.
: In the trial of the Moscow
wreckers, it was brought out,
that the General Army Staff Of
France had already given the armies
of Poland, Rumania and YugoslaVia
their roles in the war against the
Soviet Union.
The $12o,o0o,0o0 loan, also, is an
attempt to, bolster up the governments
of these fascist countries in view Of
the worsening crisis. The New York
Times Paris correspondent, Carlisle
Macdonald, In reporting the news of
the loan said:
at is interesting TO note that the
three countries which the French
financial institutions have chosen
for the initiation OF the new foreign
credit policy are all military allies
of France, bound to the larger ma
ton by postwar treaties Of a po,iti-
cal or a commercial nature"
This is the first huge payment by
France for the pending war against
the Soviet Union.

lO2 JAILED IN
ATTACKS ON
BORN
Police Admit Campaign
Aimed at Militant
Movement

NEW YORK.-The character OF
the Seamen's Institute as a spy
agency of the bosses against worker
seamen was clearly exposed yester-
day when, following secret informa-
ton given the immigration authori-
ties by that institution, immigration
officials, bcaked up by the new Alien
Squad Of the local police department,
visited the Institute, locked the doors
and put over 5000 unemployed sea-
men through vicious inquisition
and herded 1o2 into patrol wagons to
be taken to Ellis Island for deporta-
ton.
The immigration officials openly
admitted that they had had full CO.
operation from the Institute, "assis-
lance of officials of the institute
through data gathered at the insti-
tute and other seamen's headquar-
terS."
That the raid and arrests art part
of the bosses campaign to throw out
Of the country, as they have thrown
millions on the streets to starye, the
unemployed. foreign born workers
whose labor they have exploited in
the past, with particular attention to
foreign born workers who show the
least mihtancy, WAS openly admitted
by Ellis Island officials who said the
roundup was part of the general
roundup, ordered by Secretary Of
Labor Doak of foreign born workers
taking place all over the country.
So far, the new police Alien Squad
which was organized on the pretense
of rounding up alien racketeers has
failed to arrest one racketeer All Of
its activities have been against mill
tant foreign born workers.
Definite proof that the new squad
was organized as part of the gen.
eral attempt by the bosses and their
government to crush all signs of
militancy out of the working class is
given in the January issue of Spring
$780," the police magazine where
under the heading. THE Alien Red
Must Co." the statement is made:
I'VE congratulate the Police Com
missioner on his foresight in creating
this bureau we congratulate Captain
McDermott ON his appointment an6
his activity and we predict a rapid
lessening of Red activities IN New
York City"

PARTY MEMBERS CT n. /. RAISED $500
TO PUBLISH YESTERDAYS DAILY

Yesterdays Daily appeared only
because the Party members in their
Units raised over $500 for the Daily.
A. about $50 it was quite clear that
there was not enough money to pay
wages in the composing room. Dis
trict Two advanced $3.50 and sent out
comrades to all unit meetings to
raise money to make it possible for
the Daily to come out. This solved
the problem for yesterday, but we are
headed for the same condition unless
funds are sent in. We are able to
hold off, temporarily, court action
for non-payment of notes and paper.
We call upon all workers receiving
the Red Shock Troop donation lists
to Immediately get other workers to
donate and then mail the lists to the
Daily Worker with the renlittances.
All comrades who owe money to-
the Daily Worker for bundles or
other accounts must immediately
begin making payments. Even If so
FER cent of our old accounts were
paid, and with the liauide ton CT the
deficit, the Daily Worker could de-
vote its time and energy to reaching
more masses of workers and in that
way become an even more effective
