ATTACK SOVIET
TRADE AGENCY
IN ARGENTINA
Try Blame USSR for
Deepgoing Crisis
Gable BY Inprecorr.)


MOSCOW, Aug. An connection
with the raiding of Yuzhamtorg, the
Argentine Soviet Trading Co., the
press emphasizes that the Argentine
bourgeoisie has long been attempt
ing to represent the economic crisis
now gripping Argentine as a result
Of Soviet Vaccinations" Efforts in
anti-Soviet circles in Argentine to
justify the unusually lmpudent and
outrageous raid on Yuzhamtorg and
the arrest of all its employees by
dumping charges against the Soviet
Union are easily refuted by facts and
figures.
During the past year the Soviet
Unions share in Argentine imports
amounted to two-tenths per cent
and in exports four-tenths per cent.
The trade balance between the U. S.
S. r. and South American countries
has been unfavorable throughout.
The figures are as follows: In 1876
1927 the Soviet Union imported from
South America 26 million roubles
and exported 100000 roubles. The
following year it imported 100000
and exported 100000. respectively;
the next year. 25,OO0,O0O imports as
against 100000 exports, and in 1929
1880 it imported 100000 and ex-
ported 100000. Soviet goods have
been sold in Argentine markets at
the prevailing world prices. In
fact American, British and German
firms have been most active in price
cutting,

After we had marched four miles
we were stopped at the west end of
Monessen by the chief of police,
John Lavish, and his police force
and a detachment of state police
armed with gas bombs and riot
clubs.

These well fed cops blocked the
Shighway, while the chief, who stayed
between two of his gas bomb singers,
insisted that we show him our per-

A young girl in the third row Of
the march told these steel trust tools
that the old original constitution
was permit enough.

At this point two of the police
rushed on Tom Rodgers and began
twisting his arms behind his back.
It looked like the thugs we're trying
TO tie him into a knot. Rodgers told
the workers that the chief of police
would control the workers just as
long as the workers would stand for
it. He advised the workers to Or
ganize and fight against the mine
owners, the police and the Lewis
gang against the starvation program
Of the bosses.

She then told him that we did not
intend to argue with him all day

said, "The chief will not allow us

Gas and Clubs.
Then the tear gas was opened and
the riot clubs pulled out. The po-
lice arrested four of the workers,
Tom Rodgers, Chas. Owskey, Agnes
Sheer and Adam Gette were placed
under arrest. Getto was then re-
leased and the others held.
Getto then had all the marchers
conveyed to their destination in
trucks that belonged to friends and
cars, while others marched through
the streets to the Finnish Hall,
being bounded and pushed by the
police until they finally reached their
goal where we had a real militanO
anti-war demonstration. The work
ers all pledged to fight for the So
Wet Union and against capitalism in
the next war. A resolution was
passed demanding the unconditional
release of all workers in Jail for
working class activities. This meet
ing was the largest ever held in
Monessen under the leadership of
the Communist Party.

about thirty workers were arrested.
While the "Red Squad" had con-
centrated most of its forces, as usual,
at the City Plaza and prevented the
workers from demonstrating against
war at the appointed hour az
o'clock, the masses however did not
dispense until $3.50 and insisted on
having the demonstration. Many
speakers in the face Of terror, tear
gas bombs, blackjacks, clubs and
guns, spoke. Comrade Arispi was
dragged and beaten by Hyne's blood
hounds and as Arispi was taken in
