terday completing their withdrawal
from the Chinchow area.
While the United States protest to
Japan is shrouded in the usual Sc
crecy with which the Wall Street
government has carried on its con-
ferences and exchange OF notes with
the Japanese, it Is clear that the
Japanese seizure Of Manchuria was
not involved in Stimson's protest.
This protest was directed solely at
the japanese advance southwark.
The Japanese move southwark
threatened United States hegemony
In China, and violated the agreement
under which the western imperialist
powers, and the United States in par
taoular, have actively and passively
supported Japan's occupation OF
Manchuria. That agreement is aimed
at crushing the Chinese Soviets and
at the Soviet Union and its success
full socialist construction, with its
solution Of unemployment and the
national question, its raising of the
standard of living of the Soviet work.
ers while capitalism is starving its
workers.
SO long as Japan carried out her
role as the spearhead of the armed
attack on the Soviet Union, and con-
tinued her provocative activities and
lies against the proletariat state,
there occurred no clash between the
Japanese imperialists and the rest Of
the imperialist bandits. Japan's adj
vance southwark was, however, not
only a threat against the British zone
OF influence around Chinchow, but
a direct move for Japanese hege-
mony over all China. 1t threatened
the hegemony now exercised by the
United States through its Marking
lackeys.
With the abandonment by Japan
Of the southwark advance, the United
States at once withdrew its opposi-
ton TO the Japanese military activi-
ties. A Tokyo dispatch dispatch to
the New York Times reports:
IAN exchange of cabled messages
between Tokyo and Washington
has dissolved the tense Stimson IN
cident Of yesterday into what Am
bassador Forbes GUS. Ambassador
to Japan-Daily Worker) calls
comedy of errors the effects OF
which all parties have agreed to
obliterate."
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Times further emphasizes Slim
sons support to Japan. The dis
patch carries the significant sum-
mary in its heads:
"STIMsON HAS FAITH
IN JAPAN
"Has Pursued Friendly Policy
! and Refused to join In

US, Asked Secrecy On Notes.

A Tokyo dispatch reports that 200
soldiers and peasants last night oc-
cupied several villages on the Kirin-
Tunhua Railway, north of Chiacho.
The house of the japanese naval
attache in Peiping was bombed last
night.
Chinese Force Closing of Japanese
Bank.
A Foochow dispatch reports that
strong anti Japanese feeling among
Chinese here has caused a Japanese
bank to close and Chinese authorities
to establish military patrols through
out the city. Japanese naval vessels,
with marines aboard, were lying off
shore today"
"A Mukden dispatch admits that re-
sistance to the Japanese is increas-
ing throughout Manchuria. The dis
patch states:
1.-THE bandit situation continues
grave and there is a certainty Of an
almost daily necessity for small
Japanese punitive expeditions
against the outlaws and raiding by
disorganized soldiery."
Japan Still Buying Cotton.
Japan is continuing to purchase
huge quantities of cotton for use in
the manufacture of explosives. Many
huge purchases have been made ir
this country. A Vera Cruz dispatch
reports Japan buying cotton in Mex
leo, as well. 1t says:
Japanese firms are understood
to be negotiating for the purchase
of a considerable quantity Of Mex
lean cotton, presumably for manu-
featuring explosives"
The Japanese have shipped huge
quantities of gold to this country tc
meet bills, establish credits and in the
attempt to maintain the Yen. A Sar
Francisco dispatch reports that or
Thursday, 1000 bales of silk, valued
at $2,75o,o00 will arrive from Japan
This is said to be the heaviest ship
ment of raw silk to enter an Amer
lean port this year.
Japanese Crisis Deepens.
In the meantime the Japanese i'm
perialists are faced not only with un-
rest at home and the growth of q
powerful revolutionary movement as
result, but the Japanese economic
and financial crisis is sharpening
with terrific speed. Yesterdays Wal
st. Journal carried dispatch from
Tokyo headed Japanese Face Finance
Puzzle" The dispatch reports:
Japanese financial leaders are
moving resolutely to solve, or at
least to mitigate the effects of, the
host of financial and commercial
problems which have arisen since
mid-September. These have been
neither few nor trifling. Almost
simultaneously Britain went off
gold and the Japanese military
moved to put an end to the reign
of petty irritations which has char
acterized Japan's dealing with
China for the past several years.
Both caused sharp and immediate
repercussions on the Japanese eco
non1ic system"
The dispatch points out that Sino-
Japanese trade has stagnated as q
result Of the Chinese boycott against
Japanese goods. The new Indian tar.
if, increasing the advantage of Bri-
fish manufacturers. has also helped
to worsen the Japanese financial sit
uation. The dispatch admits that
ever since the lifting Of the gole
embargo in January, 1880, Japan ha:
been losing gold" Japanese capital
lists are trying to save themselves Al
the expense of the Japanese masses
who are already on starvation
level. Japanese capital Is being in.

Marking In Complete Betrayal
of Chinese Masses.
In the meantime, under the direc-
ton Of the United States, the Nam
king traitors yesterday carried out
the complete betrayal. of the Chinese
masses. Marking accepted the reso-
luton OF the League Council for an
investigation of the situation
throughout China. The resolution
was offered by Japan VITA the back
ing of U. S. Ambassador Dawes. 1t
aims at furthering the plans of the
imperialists for a redivision Of all
China. Marking also accepted the
Japanese demand for withdrawal
Of the Chinese troops from the Chin
chow area, and for the setting up Of
neutral zone in that area, along
the Peiping -Mukden Railway between
Mukden and Shanhaikwan. The lat
ter town is in the Gulf of Chilli at
the foot of the Great Wall.
Marking Offers Troops Against
Chinese Masses.
At the same time, Marking offered
the use OF its troops to cooperate
with the Japanese in suppressing the
growing movement Of protest and re-
sistance against the Japanese in
vaders of Manchuria. A Peiping dis
patch to the New York Times re-
ports:
Marshal Chang is understood to
have proposed that Chinese cavalry
patrols should assist local authori-
ties in maintaining order and cop
ing with bandits after the evacua-
tion." Ito the imperialist robbers
and their tools, all fighters against
imperialism are bandits-Daily
Worker.)
The Marking traitors are alarmed
at the rapid growth OF the anti-im-
perialist movement and express the
fear that at will be difficult to sat-
isfy the Chinese public Of the neces-
sity of give and take" This fear is
well based as, in spite of the social
demagogy of the Kuomintang trait
ors, the Chinese masses are becom-
ing increasingly aware that the game
of give and take is confined to the
Japanese taking and the Marking
government giving.
Marking Smashes Workers Barrt-
cades In Tientsin.
In Tientsin, also. the Kuomintang
carried out its betrayal of the Chi
nese masses. Chinese soldiers in that
city who had defied the Marking
government to join the Chinese
workers in resistance to the Japanese
attacks, have been ordered to with
draw from the city. Chinese soldiers
loyal to the Marking murder regime
are being used to crush the anti
Japanese movement in Tentsin.
These troops have been used to tear
down the barricades set up by the
Chinese workers and soldiers in the
working class section of the city.
Anti-Imperialist Movement Grows.
In spite of the murderous attacks
on the resisting Chinese workers and
peasants, the anti-imperialist move
ment continues to grow, with the
workers and peasants taking the Of
fensive in many instances. A Pei
ping dispatch reports that 500 Chi
nese workers, peasants and soldiers,
operating under the cover of srtil-
lery, crossed the Lao River at noon
yesterday and occupied the town of

1000 Greet Column
Four In Terre Haute

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 3d.
Column 4 of the National Hunger
March, with 80 delegates so far but
many more waiting to join in the
towns it passes through, reached
Terre Haute yesterday. With Bill
Lindsay in the lead, the marchers
came through in fine spirit, in spite
of the hardships of the first long
stretch east OF st. Louis.
A mass meeting, mostly miners and
unemployed miners, met the delega-
ton in Collinsville, Ill, with rousing
enthusiasm.
Arriving at the city limits of Terre
Haute, the marchers got out and par
AIDED with big crowd OF jobless who
met them there. The procession
went through the whole city, and a
mass meeting OF 1900 was held in a
hall afterwards.
Demand Food, Lodging In Wheeling
WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 30.-
The Ohio Valley Hunger March
has been making attempts to have
the city administration of Wheeling
house and feed the 65 National
Hunger Marchcers of Column on
their way to Washington, D. c. when
they arrive and stop over in that
city on December 3rd. Two letters
have already been sent to the city
council of Wheeling, demanding
them to house and feed the dele
cation when they arrive.
In its answer to the first letter,
the Wheeling city council attempted
to pass the buck by answering that,
"since this Hunger March Commit
tee (Ohio Valley Committee-J.S)
had it's headquarters in Bridgeport
and that the March would un-
doubtedly come through Bridgeport"
that it felt that "it is for the Com
mittee TO ask the aid Of the Bridge
port Council" rather than the city
Of Wheeling.
When a second letter had been
sent informing the Wheeling city
council that their passing the buck
was not accepted but that the COM
mittee demanded action on its de-
mands, their answer was that the
"City Of Wheeling will not under
any circumstances, care for the
Hunger Marchers" and further that
they Twill not permit this March to
take place through its city streets"
A week ago committee OF I'M
employed workers from Wheeling
and vicinity, went before this same
council to demand immediate re-
lief, also demanded housing and food
for the National Hunger Maschers.
The city councils answer then YVES
that the City was broke.
Yet some four months ago, this
same council appropriated, at the re-
quest Of the coal operators, thousands
OF dollars to tear-gas, club and jail
the miners when they struck against
starvation. 1t was this same city
administration which, at the request
OF tbs coal operators, turned over the
town to the sCabs and gave then,

Column 3 Attacked by
Hammond Police

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov. 30.--When
the National Hunger Marchers OF
Column arrived here from Chicago,
yesterday, they found a crowd Of a
thousand assembled at State and
Fayette Streets. The mayor of Ham,
mond had previously promised that
the march through the city could
take place without attack by the po-
lice and had permitted meetings at
convenient corners on the way" In
spite OF this, Police Chief T1hos. j.
Martinson, evidently with the con-
sent OF Mayor Charles D. Schonert,
ordered a brutal attack on the
marchers and the crowd.
Police hurled tear gas bombs so
fast that they gassed not only the
mass of workers and the marchers,
but themselves as well. A terrific
struggle took place as the workers
and marchers defended themselves
with their hands against the clubs Of
the police, all in a confusion Of tear
gas fumes.
The police dubbed two marchers
severely, and blackjacked a girl. They
smashed all the glass on the trucks
and cars, and tore off the banners.
One truck was so badly damaged
that it will no the able to continue.
The others we're driven out Of town
in several groups, two trucks being
entirely cut OF from the main line
of march by the police.
Attempts are being made to get
these back and over take the main
procession which is going right on
its way to Washington.
. The column reached Gary last
night, where a demonstration Of
greetings to the hunger marchers
and protest against Hammond police
brutality was held.

Archie Pacey Hit
ByAafo Saturday
Injured While Walking on Pave
ment on South Main Street
Taken to Long Hospital

Ache Pacey, So year old resi-
dent of this city, was injured Sat
urday evening at about 7:30
o'clock while walking on the pave
ment just south Of the under
ground crossing on Main Street.
Mr.. Pacey was on bis way
home when he evidently turned
out for a truck and in doing so
stepped into the way Of an on
coming car. He was thrown to the
pavement and was picked up by
the driver and taken to the Long
Hospital for treatment.
The car which hit Mr.. Pacey
was a Chevrolet driven by ]. E.
Wegener, of Alexandria, who was
coming into the city to transact
business. He was driving at very
speed, hence the injuries
receivd by Mr.. Pacey were not ser.
ious. r. J. Nelson, of st. Cloud
was also at the scene of the acct
dent and assisted in taking Mr.,
Pacey to the hospital.
Mr.. Pacey is still at the hospital
suffering from a nervous shock
He received a cut over the left eye
and other minor bruises. There
were no brones broken. His con-
dition is thought not to be serious
and his many friends hope that he
will soon be able to be up and
around again.

Round House Destroyed

The single stall round house of
the Great Northern Railway Co.,
located in the western part of the
city was badly Quilted and damaged
by fire Christmas afternoon, start
ing probably shortly before 800
o'clock as the alarm was turned in
about 3:15.
The origin of the fire is some
thing of a mystery. When the
men in charge left for dinner
about an hour before the alarm
was turned in there wasn't any
evidence of fire. The locomotive in
the building was damaged about
$4,000, and there is some evidence
that the fire started in the loco
motive cab, perhaps caused by a
lighted cigarette. There is slight
evidence that the blaze was Of in
cendiary origin.
The damage to the building was
about $500.
The round house was erected
about four years ago and cared for
the freight engines operating on the
"K' line running out of this city to
Cass Lake and Bemidji.
Station Agent s. Dickinson says
there isn't any question but the
property will be replaced as soon
as possible as the round house at
this point is essential to handling
the tx" line freight traffic.

In spite of the business depres-
sion the business at the Sank Cen
tire postoffice was the largest for
the week preceding Christmas in
the history of the office.
Monday Dec. %, 11,70O pieces of
first-class mail was dispatched be-
sides hundreds of parcels post. The
total $50 mail pouches.
Thsi vast amount Of business was
carried on by Postmaster w. M.
Parker and his regular force with
the addition of two subs. One truck
was kept busy all day delivering
the packages. The entire force
started work at 600 a. m, Monday
morning and continued with only
Slight interruptions for lunches un-
til $3.50 when every piece of mail in
the office had been dispatched and
the incoming packages had all been
delivered.
Probably not in many years were
the various places of business so
crowded as they were Friday, Sat-
urday, Monday and Tuesday pre-
ceeding Christmas.
The weather for Christmas shop
ping vas ideal. The merchants stat
ed that many people who were
strange to them purchased their
Christmas supplies in Sank Centre
this year.
Seven hundred new Herald SUBJ
scribers in the Sank Centre COM
munity read the holiday advertis-
ing of the Sank Centre merchants
and many Of them, no doubt, made
their first contact with Sank Centre
business men to do their Christmas
shopping.
The business can afford to cult
vate these new customers by lib

ROUND HOUSE Quilted
Blaze Calls Department Out
Christmas AfternOOn-TO

Very likely the prompt turning
in of the fire alarm saved Sank
Centres City Hall and Community
Club rooms from very serious
damage Monday evening.
When Band Director p. w. Han
son and several members Of his
Boys organization arrived at the
Club rooms for the weekly re-
hearsa1 Mr.. Hanson remarked that
the janitor had done a good job
of firing up as the rooms were I'M
usually warm. Very soon there
was a very distinct evidence of
smoke. Investigation showed that
the dining room and kitchen on the
second floor were filled with smoke
Further investigation disclosed that
the blaze was located in the boiler
room at the rear of the building
west of the Jail.
Mr.. Hanson promptly turned in
an alarm, the department respond
ed quickly and the blaze was ex-
tinguished without serious damage
The fire was caused by overhead
ed pipes from the heating plant
The rear brick wall was lathed
and plastered against the brick.
The damage was nominal and more
than likely the plaster in the fur
mace room will not be replaced.
