vasion of Japan has determined the
imperialists to agree on the spoilS
and to unite in a drive against the
advance of Soviet China and the
Chinese revolution.
Dispatches in the capitalist press
report that the agrarian masses in
Chientao, Manchuria, have organized
a Red Army, under the leadership
OF the Communists and are prepar-
ing to "Apply force against the Kuo-
mintang and Chinese and Japanese
miitarists." The masses are pre-
pairing to struggle against the Kuo-
mintans imperialists' agents Of Wall
Street as well as against the jap
anese imperianst invaders.
Due to the innperialist invasion Of
Manchur1a the farmers there are
unable to sell over 100000 tons Of
the Soya bean crop. This will mean
starvation for millions Of farmers
and IL is against this starvation
caused by the imperialist struggle
that the masses are preparing TO
fight in the Red Army.
The mass pressure against the I'M
perialists has resulted in such a
widespread boycott in many cities
that the Japanese interests are I'M
able to carry on their business. This
is true particularly Of the Japanese
shipping to Annoy and on the upper
Yangtse River.
The Kellogg pact for peace which
was signed by all OF the imperialist
powers is now openly admitted to be
only a means for the partition Of
China. The Times report from Toxic
states this in the following:
''If China decides to recognize all
her treaty commitments, Japanese
officials say an amicable settle
ment will result quickly, but that if
China refuses 1t is difficult to see
what the League Of Nations and
the signers Of the Briand-K Kellogg
anti-war pact can do except wash
their hands of the affair"
The imperialists are prepared to
wash their hands Of the affair" the
Iooting Of China by openly permitting
1t despite the hypocritical protests Of
the Marking government. In reply
ing to the notes of the other sigma
tories Of the Kellogg pact about the
obligations Of Japan in the Manchu-
rian situation, Foreign Minister Shid-
ehara Of Japan replied that "the
Japanese Government realized as
fully any other signatory the re-
sponsibinties incurred under that
obligation"
The footing Of China and the pre-
parations for the attack against the
Soviet Union through Manchuria
proceed under the cloak Of the KEEL
logg pact and the leadership Of Am
erican and Japanse irnperiansts.

Auto Plants Close AS
Production Says Lower

Production and sale Of automobiles
continue their sharp downward trend.
The adjusted index figure is now 3l.8
for the week ending Oct. II, with an
actual production Of 1850 units;
last week the index figure was 37.8,
with a production Of 2e,315 units,
while for the same week last year the
index figure was 4o.2, with 36,462
units. This means an 10 per cent
drop in production since 1880, and,
taking 100 as the index figure in
1929, it is seen that production for
the two years Of the crisis has fallen
90 per cent.
Three more manufacturers have
shut down, making total now OF
six manufacturers who have closed
down. The reduction in production
schedules have affected every price
group and included the two largest
producers, says the New York Times.
This refers, no doubt, to Ford and
General Motors.

Greetings for the Nov. special
edition Of the Daily Worker are
coming in too slowly. Comrades
do not realize that this special
edition, which celebrates the l4th
anniversary Of the Bolshevik rev
oiutioD, must be ready by Oct. 81
so that there are only nine days
left. Nine days left, comrades, and
yet little activity has been shown
mp 10 now.
We can only conclude that Daily
Worker agents and readers do not
realize the Importance of this edi-
ton. At this time, when the capital
ist countries all over the world are
preparing for a concerted attack on
the Soviet Union, workers must show
their solidarity with the workers of
the U.S.S.R. in every way possible.

One Department Strikes
Frank Hill, organizer for the Me-
tai Workers Industrial League, at
once went to the mill. Seeing some
OF the glass workers not going into
the mill, Hill at once held a meeting
on the street and called on the work
ers to picket the mill. One whole
department, the factory department,
came out on strike. The rest of the
departments worked.
A strikers meeting was then held
in the ball park. A strike commit
tee OF 10 was organized. The strike
committee met while the rest Of the
workers went to picket the factory
Demands were drawn up and leaf
let was published to distribute among
those still working in the mill
Picket All Day
The strikers picketed all day. Frank
Hi11 was arrested and held until the
next day as suspicious person" On
the morning OF the second day Of the
strike the whole factory, 400 workers,
were on strike. Then rurnors started
around that everyone was returning
TO work the next day. This rlmnor
cwas started by the fake American
Flint Glass Union, which held a sec
ret meeting that day in the mill. All
the leaders Of the union at once
started coaxing the men to return to
work, threatening them that the COM
pany was going to close down. Also
some stool-pigeons that got them
selves on the strike committee tried
TO demorahze the strikers by telling
them that there was no use Of strik-
ing. Every time the burgess and the
boss wanted to know anything they
reported to them The stools were at
once exposed TO the strikers
A Committee was then elected to
20 into the factory and demand that
the boss withdraw the wage cut, but
they were refused admission TO the
mill by the Waterman The commit
tee reported to the strikers that they
were refused admission to the mill
Angered by this the workers showed
a more militant spirit and continued
to picket the mill.
Editorial Note-We have received
a report stating that the strike Is
over, Just how 1t ended we were
not informed. We would Ike more
information on this strike.

SECRET MEET
TO CONSIDER
WAR LINEUP

Of the French government, also points
this out.
"The conversations between Pres
ident Hoover and NJ. Laval may
mark great turning point In post
war policy. They may be begin
ming Of great things so long as all
sides avoid illusions and refrain
from seeking TO perform miracles"
What the French imperialists are
striving for is the hegemony over the
united front of the imperialists
against the Soviet Union and to
crush the revolutionary uprising OF
the German masses which the French
imperialists fear will occur this win
ter. This program Of Laval Is pointed
out by the French Journal des De-
bats
"The real question is whether the
United States intends to contribute
to the peace Of the world. If 1t has
such noble aim its means Of APP
pIication Is at hand. All that Is
necessary is that 1t should declare
1t regards itself as q guardian OF
treaties and that, In conformance
with the promise Of its President
Wilson 1t is ready TO mount guard
on the Rhine"
Laval demands that the United
States agree to mount guard on the
Rhine"-be prepared to suppress the
revolt Of the German masses-and
carry on the attack against the Sow
let Union; but that the French i'm
periaists should have the leadership
in the attack. The attack against
the rising revolt Of the German
masses and against the working class
of the Soviet Union-this Is the
noble aim Of the imperialists for
"the peace Of the world"
One of teh main points Of struggle
between the imperialists will be on
the question Of the reparation pay
ments of Germany and the war
debts. The Hoover policy Is to try
If possible to get such agreements as
will permit the United States bank
ers to Withdraw their short term In
vestments In Germany while the
French imperialists will be forced 10
stand for the further loss Of the rep
arations through an extension Of the
moratorium.
The German capitalist press ex-
poets that Hoover will raise the
question of the Danzig corridor IN
the struggle against the French I'M
perialists who have been supporting
Poland in struggle about Danzig.
In the struggle with Hoover, La
val is now reported TO have the sup
port of the British government. On
the other hand, 1t Is positively GER
tain that Hoover and Laval will dis
ctlss the partitioning Of China and
1t is highly probable that some COM
mon action between France, the
United States and japan will be
agreed upon which will be directed
also at the British colonies. The re-
division of China will be taken al
the beginning of the struggle for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the British en-
pire and its division among the
other imperialists.
In any case, the conference az
washington will come to definite con-
illusions for the attack on the Soviet
Union and on the German and Chi
nese masses. The imperialists are
planning war. The American work
ers must give decisive answer.
