JAPANESE IMPERIALISM AND
THE CHINESE REVOLUTION

the question Of the wireless station. Permission
was given to Japan for military drills in Man
churia. Mass movement against Japanese and
world imperialism has been ruthlessy suppressed
by the Marking government.
Last Dec the General Staff Of the Japanese
government declared that "f the Chinese
masses show the signs of and-Japanese activi-
ties the Imperial government should urge the
Nationalist Government to suppress them" The
Marking Government has been utilized by Jap
anese and world imperialism to suppress the
Chinese Revolution.
Japanese Imperialism IntenSifies War
Preparation.
japanese Imperialism is feverishly preparing
for war; The delegate of the Kyogikai Dap
anese Council of Trade Unions) reported last
year that WAR industries we're working con-
tinuously." A huge plan for military expansion
is now being put forth. In order to turn Man
churia into a military basis and highway to
launch attacks on the Chinese masses and the
Soviet Union, many japanese army garrisons in
Manchuria have been reinforced. New military
camps and stations have been built up at Yin
Kow and other strategical places More police
have been sent to station along the South
Manchurian Railway.
Recently, the Mukden and the Marking mill
taristS permitted the japanese army to stage
sham battles along Lilo Yang, Changchun and
other places. All these military preparations
prove clearly that Japanese imperialism is armed
to the teeth to slaughter the Chinese masses
and attack the Soviet Union. The Chinese Fast
ern Railway provocation, the shooting of the
Soviet commercial attache in Toxic and the
closing down of the Soviet bank in Japan bear
witness to the increasing war danger against
the Soviet Union.
The intensified war preparation is set on the
background of a deepening economic crisis in
Japan More than fifty per cent of factories
have been closed down. Export for the year
1880 decreased more than 80 per cent in COM
parison with the previous year. The govern
ment income decreased by half billion dollars
in 1880. Over two million workers are unenl-
ployed Fascist methods have been used bar
barously against the workers, farmers and the
toiling masses
Demonstrate Against Japanese Imperialism.
The deepening economic crisis, the rising reyo-
lutionary movements of the Japanese workers
and toiling masses together with the upriSings
of the natives in Formosa, the high wave of
national liberation movements in Korea, the
revolutionary upSurge in China and the success
full socialist construction in the Soviet Union
accentuate the preparations of Japanese imper-
ialism for war against her rival imperialsts
against the Chinese and other colonial peoples
and particularly against the U. S. S. R.
The tour of Prince and Princess Takamatsu is
an imperialist tour. 1t is an offensive against
the international working class. All workers
must join in the demonstrations against Japan

solidarity with the japanese oppressed masses

Japanese Interests IN China.
Japanese imperialism has good reasons to sup
press the Chinese revolution. Her interests are
too great for her to be neutral or indifferent,
After Selling Korea and Formosa, Japan actual
" turned Nanchuria into her colony by the
Treaty OF 1905 after the Russo-Japanese War
Taking NIanchuria as a basis for further eX-
pansion and exploitation Japan extended her
influence over Inner Mongolia Shantung, and
Fukien Provinces, securing railway, mining and
various rights. This territorial expansion does
not limit the spheres of influence" of japanese
imperialism The Han Yelping Iron Works. the
so-called Bethlehem Steel Corporation of
China" has been dominated by Japanese finance
capital. Other regions of China are also deeply
penetrated by Japanese imperialism While the
struggle for domination in China necessarily
brings about sharp conflicts among imperialsts
Japan unites with her fellow imperialist powers
in Suppressing the Chinese Revolution.
Japans Role in Smashing the Chinese
Revolution.
In addition to the ruthless and super eXploita-
ton of the Chinese workers and peasants, Japan
has played an important role in the effort to
destroy the Chinese Revolution. During the
Great Revolution in 1925-27, before the Kuomin-
tang betrayed the national revolution, Japan
united with American and other imperialists to
lombard Marking and helped the reactionary
militariSts to defeat the Nationalist Army.
After Chang Ka-Shek and his ilk turned
their back against the Revolution, Japan and
other imperialst powers have given financial
and military support to the Kuomintang mill
taristS to murder the Chinese masses and even
rendered direct attacks on the Red Army and
the SovietS. Japanese imperialism helped the
Chinese militarists to drown the Canton Soviet
in a river of blood in 1927 and cooperated with
other imperialsts to defeat the Changsha Soviet
last year. The Japanese army repulsed the
Chinese Red Army twice from Tayel and at
tackled the Soviets along the Yangtze Valley.
The Marking Government and Japanese
Imperialism.
While the Marking government is essentially
tool of Yankee imperialism, it has managed
to maneuver with Japan to present united
front against the Chinese Revolution. Taking
only into account the recent developments, the
Marking government has made number of
concessions to japanese imperialism.
Mills in Shanghai were sold to Japan. Heavy
indemnities were paid for the Japanese lives
and properties destroyed during the Marking
bombardment. Japan was given privileges in

ism and their struggle against the Com
munist Party does not represent the working
class: it represents, like all MenShevks, the pet
ty-bourgeois intellectuals with their petty indi-
vidualism and opportunism.
cat the time of my expulsion I was wrong in
fighting the Party and the Communist Interna-
tional. The factional outlook, which I had &C
quired through the years of bitter factional
fights, prevented me at that time to see the
correctness of the Conintern Address and of the
new line laid down in it.
81 did not quite agree with the line of the Love-
stone group from the beginning began to fight
against it about nine or ten months ago, when
in the municipal election campaign in New York
they came out openly against the Party.
when, recently, Lovestone returned from an
international opposition conference in Germany,
where they made decisions how to fight the
Communist International and the Party, in his
verbal report he said: We cannot fight the Sow
let Union openly, because then we would be licked
like the Trotsky opposition, when they took up
the fight against the Soviet Union, but we must
fight the Communist International and the Par
ty. This proves how they have turned against
the working class, and how they have lined up
with all reactionary forces.
81 spoke to other workers in the Lovestone
group, and I appeal to them and to all workers
now,-at this time of unemployment and strug-
gle, we cannot remain neutral because it would
be helping the capitalist class in its fight against
the workers; we must unite against our common
enemy, the bosses; we must join the ranks of the
Communist Party, which is the only leader of the
working class
II am convinced that the Communist Party
under the guidance Of the Communist Interna-
tional, will overcome all its enemies. am con-
WINGED now that being member of the Love-
stone group is helping to fight against the Party
and the Communist International is helping to
fight against the Soviet Union is helping the cap
italist class against the working class
Therefore, I declare that associate myself
from the Lovestone renegades, and wish to be
re-instated in the Communist Party which is
the vanguard of the working Glass;
Upon this, taking into consideration the fact
that Koppels crime against the Party and
against the working class was the greater, be-
cause he was occupying leading positions but
considering also his proletarian status and his
having opposed the Lovestone line for some
time past the Central Control Commission has
postponed final decision on his re-admission for
3 months, with the provision that in the mean
time he shall be given opportunities to work in
sympathetic non-Party organizations and to
prove in deeds his agreement with the line and
policies of the Party and his willingness to fight
unreservedly against the Lovestone renegades.

Musical Notes

We see from the N. Y Journal of April Z, that
the Soviet Cultural Products Trust is buying
100000 photograph records this year-and not
a single one of them will be jazz. No less than
100000 portable monographs, not the scratchy
wool-shirt variety, but good ones costing $2S
EACH are being made
From this you will know that those unhappy
forced laborers whose healthy smiling faces
shine out of every Soviet picture (even those put
out with lying captions telling how utterly mis-
cradle they ought to be-, are going to do some
singing. a
So, we are told, are lot of workers here. All
unknown to our omniscience, 1t appears that
right here in New York, where working class
culture has all too often run to trying to get
as tpsy with either moon or jazz as the dillet-

of the movement, the Cultural Committee Of

On next Sunday at p m. this Committee is
putting on an All-Children concert at the Audi
forum of the Cooperative, located at 2700 Bronx

WHILE among the petty-bourgeois leadership
" of the Lovestone renegades, disintegration is
taking place in the form of a number of them
openly algning themselves with the Music group
OF the American Federation of Labor fake pro
gresSiveS" and in the form of internal squabbles
as to whether they should come out against the
Soviet Union and against the Communist Par
ty of the Soviet Union openly, or to continue
this fight under some camouflage or other;
among their rank and file adherents and mis-
led workers there has been developing for some
time a recognition of the counter revolutionary
character of Lovestonism and desire to return
into the ranks of the Communist Party.
And the Party has not closed its doors to
them; but after being convinced of their sin
ceriay in repudiating Lovestonisn, in accepting
fully the line and policies of the Party, and in
promising to carry them out in every respect,
including unreserved fight against Lovestonsm,
the Party has re-adnlitted quite a number Of
them in the past.
Just now the Central Control Commission has
dealt with three such cases of applications for
re-adnission.
Irving Green, of Buffalo, New York, was re-
admitted on six months probation. He denied
ever having been associated with the Loveston-
ties. although he had attended meeting of
Lovestonites in 1929, and had refused to make
a statement at that time AGAINST LoveStonsm,
and for the c. l. address. Now he is definitely
against the LovestoniteS and for the Party line
and policies. and his re-admission was recon-
mended by the District Control Organization.
Alice Horowitz, needle worker of New York
City, was re-admitted upon the recommends
ton of District Control Commission of District
No. 2. In her application she stated that she
had broken completely with the Lovestone rem
egadeS soon after she was expelled from the
Party in 1929, when she realized that she had
been misled; that she then became active in
the International Labor Defense, and in the
Union fully supporting the Party line; and that
she now realizes the ter-revolutionary role
of the Lovestone group which must be fought
against.
E. Koppe machinist from Brooklyn N.
Y. who was well known in the Party, begin
ming with the left-wing fight in the old social
ist party, and who was candidate to the Gen.
trail Committee of the Party just before his ex-
pulsion in the fall of 1929, made his application
for readmission in the following statement ad-
dressed to the Central Control Commission:
I'm this period of sharp class struggles and the
deepenig crisis all the capitalist world with
a large mass unemployment in all capitalist
countries and the war preparations against the
working class and against its vanguard, the Com
munist International and its Sections - the
Communist Parties everywhere the so-called
"oppositions." with their leaders, the Brandlers
and Lovestones, are helping the capitalists and
fascists and Mensheviks, against the Commu-
nists all over the world.

For A "Western Worker!

Some time ago worker from Los Angeles
wrote an article to the Daily Worker pointing
out the Importance and necessity of having a
western paper, similar to the Southern Worker
in the South. So far nothing has been done
about it.
Why is it important to have such paper? BY
the time the Daily Worker comes to the west
coast 1t is five days old. The workers have read
of the current events in the capitalist press and
have been somewhat impressed. Then comes the
Daily Worker trying to break down opinions al

class in the western states-Smashing up meet

homes, beating up workers, arresting militant

ers are being faced here with speed-up daily
wage cuts, strikes of agricultural workers, etc.
The bosses here are also carrying on war ma
neuvers and preparing workers for the coming
war (naval base at Sunnyville, etc..
If these events could be gotten to the workers
as soon as they occur, the Communist Party
could gain much more organiaztional results. AS
Lenin said, our press should be "the collective
agitator and organizer" 1t can and must be
made such. Whereas the Daily Worker must be

A drive for funds should be started and a
committee put in charge with sub committees in
all cities of the west where there are workers
organizations in existence The workers here
are ready for such move and will support it,
Let's hope that the Party will wake up to the
possibilities of organizing the workers of the
west and utilize one of the best weapons-the
workers press.

pour out into the streets, milling around and
demanding the immediate pardon of two limo
cent members of their class-Mooney and Bill
ings
Attitudes OF prayer will not avail. Petitions
and pleas, it is demonstrated, go for naught.
Unorganized and undscplined, the workers are
unprepared for action. Leaflets and pamphlets
sketching the course of capitalism must be
printed and circulated by the million. Weekly
and monthly papers and journals, giving work.
ing class news and views, must be supported
and distributed far and wide. The underlying
principles back of the real causes of hard times
and unemployment must be carried to the people,
and the hypocritical palavering and meaningless
platitudes of subsidized capitalistic apologists-
the labor leaders-must be exposed. Liberals
must become radical and radicals must grow re-
evolutionary as capitalism develops to its eli
max. Education and organization of the work.
ers must proceed continuously, relentlessly and
without fail until the collapse of capitalism
gives the signal for the final forward march of
the new social order.
That should be the answer of the militant
trade unionists, and of the liberal and radical
forces to the infamous decision of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court. That is the only effec-
tive answer men and women of spirit can make
if they want adequately to reflect the will and
wish of Tom Mooney.
If anywhere in America the old fire of social
protest is still burning now is the time to start
conflagration in behalf of human rights that
shall set the world ablaZe with agitation for the
unconditional pardon of Tom Mooney. If labor
is not altogether lost to the challenge Of this
decision into the teeth Of the courageous few
who are trying to lead the workers, it now must
come forward with n program of action that
will end the dictatorship of plutocracy. If ever
sacrifice was needed on the part of workers and
sympathizers of labor the world over now is the
time to make it.

Dairy Proclamation

Dairying is one of Mnnesota's most important
industries and the great stabilizing influence in Min
nesota's agriculture Minnesota is the leading but
ter state in the Union producing II per cent OF the
nations supply. Minnesota is reputed to have the
richest iron mines in the world but the annual value
of dairy products exceeds the annual value of iron
ore output. The prosperity and welfare of every
citizen of this state is directly related to the pros
perity and welfare of agriculture
Widespread depression in the business world
has curtaied the demand for Minnesota dairy pro-
ducts and our producers are suffering from prices
that are the lowest in more than 20 years. This
is matter of grave concern not only to the pro-
ducers but to every citizen in the state. mmedi-
ate and substantial relief from this situation would
follow if the people of Minnesota would increase
their consumption of milk, butter, cheese ice
and other dairy products.
The health value of dairy products in the hui
man diet has been established beyond all doubt.
Wide studies and surveys have shown that the
age person does not consume enough dairy products
for best health requirements. "A
For these reasons, deem it in the interest of
all of the people of Minnesota to proclaim the week
beginning June Is, 1881, as Dairy Week as means
of forcefuly calling attention to the situation as
set forth above and urge all citizens to observe
Dairy Week by appropriate means. This is an
pecially opportune time for individuals and groups
to evolve ways and means and adopt measures to
carry on sustained efforts in behalf of vitality i'm
portant basic industry.
