There are at the present time
about 100 white women, carefully
picked, sewing in the Telephone
Building. The money is contributed
by various individuals and mostly
workers whose wages have been
taxed for the purpose. A group of
society women and self-seeking poll
ticians are running the sewing circle.
The sewing is done by hand and is
supposed to go to hospitals.

REPORT RENEWED
i P s U R G E OF
CHILEAN MASSES
Seize Army Barracks
on Christmas Day;
20 Killed

NEW YORK-A mass workers and
peasants uprising, breaking out in CT
vii war in some sections, is reported
in Chile by the Associated Press. Pre-
sident Montero, a close friend of Wall
Street bankers, is mobilizing troops to
shoot down the hungry workers and
peasants led by the Communist Party
of Chile. Chile is owned by the Gug-
genheims and Standard Oil, who are
responsible for the murder and hun
ger program.
On Christmas day, 20 workers and
several SOLDIERS were killed when the
masses siezed the army barracks at
Copiapo. Other outbreaks were re-
ported in the province of Atacama.
On Dec. 26, a thousand fascist rifle
men raided the Communist headquarz
tiers in Santiago in an attempt to
smash preparations for q mass meet
ing called to protest the hunger pro-
gram Of the Chilean government. A
working women's meeting was raided.
Hundreds of arrest were made.
a manifesto issued by the Commu-
mist Party of Chile, reprent of
which is contained in the Associated
Press dispatches, declares the workers
and peasants are fighting for the fol-
lowing demands:
Amnesty for those who took part
in the September revolt; amnesty
for the leaders of the disturbance
yesterday in Atacama province; mi
niinum salary of S4 cents day, or
payment Of a 60-cents unesnploy-
ment insurance daily by the gov
eminent or by the capitalists; with
drawals of soldiers from unempIoy-
ment camps; no new income or
wage taxes on the employed: dis
solution Of the Cosach Nitrate Com
pany and appropriation without in
demnity of the nitrate industry;
dissolution Of Congress; and protest
against the policies of former Pre-
sident Carlos Ibanes which the pre-
sent government continues.
The recent mass demonstrations in
Chile grow out OF the terrible con-
ditions enforced on the Chilean work
ers and peasants, not only by the
present fascist regime, but by British
and American imperialists, who de-
mand the economic life of Chile. I'm
employment is ravaging the whole
population. On Sept. /, the horrible
lot Of the Chilean masses led to a
nutiily in the navy. Five thousand
Chilean sailors sliced the Navy and
demanded immediate relief for the
unemployed, and division Of the
large landed estates among the pea
SAINTS. The nutiny was supported by
several uprisings in the cities, bat due
to lack of thorough organization of
the sailors, the mutineers finally capt.
tu1ated.
Despite the reign of terror which
followed, the Communist Party con-
tinued its organization and agitation,
mobilizing the impoverished masses
in struggle for bread and land, and
against imperialist domination The
new struggles are signs Of growing re-
evolutionary ferment throughout Latin
America.

it was intended to afford for war
against the Soviet Union.
Japanese Main Aim In Manchurla Is
War On Soviet Union
That the main aim of the japanese
in their banditry in
Manchuria is war against the Soviet
Union is openly admitted by the
New York Times correspondent, Hal
let Abend, who in a dispatch to his
paper from Hardin, Manchuria, de-
clares:
''After leaving Mukden for the
North, and departing entirely from
the Japanese controlled territory
Of the South SIsnchurian Railway,
1t becomes evident that Japan's
present military adventure into
Manchuria is primarily aimed
against Russia. Although il may
be that Japan will not engage in
hostilities with Russia at this time,
1t Is almost certain that the prin-
cipaI inspiration of her present
policy is not the hope of adjusting
treaty and other disputes with
China, but rather the urgency of
SO establishing herself in Man
churia thta she can be in a posi-
ton to meet Russia with a chance
of success whenever the conflict
occurs
Soviet Peace Policy flinders War
Plot
To date, only the firm peace policy
of the Soviet Union has foiled the
plots Of the inper1a1ists for armed
intervention against the Soviet I'm
ion and its successful building up of
Socialism. The plot to sssassinate
the Japanese Ambassador in Mos
COW in order TO afford a preteXt for
attacking the Soviet Union shows to
what desperate lengths the imperial
lists will go in their frantic attempts
to find q way out of the economic
crisis of capitalism at the expense Of
the slaughter of millions Of workers
and, if possible, the destruction Of
the workers and peasants republic.
Hallett Attends dispatch to the
New York Times, states further:
Japan VIII Force War on Russia"
MANY foreign observers, and not
a few of the Japanese leaders
themselves, believe that Japan will
force war upon Russia i'm the
very near future, believing that if
such war is, inevitable, Japan
should push her advantage now
rather than wait until Russia can
complete her Five Year Plan, and
becomes more efficient industrially
and mechanically"
The Times correspondent almost
admits that Russia has
SO far scrupulously avoided that de-
gree of direct participation in the
Manchurian struggle which would
give Japan an excuse for attack +"
TIE foreign observers" have q firm
basis for their belief that Japan
will force a war upon Russia in the
very near future" They know that
there is a general agreement among
the irnperialists for such war, and
that it is upon the basis of this
agreement that the United States and
France are supporting Japan's sell
zure of Manchuria. The Wall Street
is the leader in this
the leader in the anti
Soviet front.
The workers and poor farmers Of
the United States are faced with the
duty of defending their lives and
their class interests against the
