.HtQrtsts I'm
for NeW Wars


The bubble of ."peace" so much
boosted about by the Marking Gov
eminent since last october is again
broken, recent news from China
shows. The growing war clouds over
various regions not only reflect the
increasing Contradictions among the
senli-feudal, bourgeois militarist
groups and the imperialists, but also
prove that only the revolutionary
struggle of the Chinese workers and
peasants can bring about the real
unification Of China.
According to Tuesdays New York
Times, eight ShanSi generals, includ-
ing Shang Chen and others who rep
resent the interests of the north
western landlords and bourgeoisie and
are the tools of British imperialism,
have determined ito stand or fall
together" resisting the order of the
Marking Government to disband their
armies, Instead, they intensity their
preparations for the coming struggle
with Chang Kai-shek and other
Marking militarists by declaring that
their forces should be ''reorganized,
that is, increased, and that disband-
ment would merely be creating "bri-
gands and Communists" who have
been very active in distributing leaf
let's in Taiyuanfu.
Thus, the order of "disbandment"
of the Marking Government, which
has been used by Chang Kai-shek
as method of getting foreign loans,
and as propaganda, has been fatty
turned down by rival militaristS.
Since it is well known that the
Marking Government is essentially
the tool of American imperialism, the
situation clearly reflects the sharp
ened antagonism between British and
American imperialists.
This conflict is further manifested
/ in another form in southern China.
The-southern militarists, like Huang
Shoe-hung, Ii Chung Yen, etc., of
the Kwangsi clique, who represent the
interests Of the Kwangsi landlords
and British imperialism, have come
to the verge of breakdown in their
peace negotiation with Marking. In
| fact, the new alliance of the KWang-
81 militarists, the so-called left"
wing of the Kuomintang, led by Wang
Ching-wei, with its militarists like
Chang Fai-kei, the "Iron-side" gen.
eral and others, have come to terms
with the militarists in KWeichow,
Szechuan and Yunnan Provinces, also
tools of British imperialism, to open
the first gun against the Marking
Government. Several towns have
been occupied by the Szechuan gen.
erals.
All this shows the rivalry among
the various feudal- bourgeois militar-
list groups and their imperialist mas
tiers, this time, mainly the British and
American imperialists. Another mill
tarist war will again break out before
long.

HALT CALLED ON
U. S. HYPOCRISY
Stimson Backs Down
on Liberia Slavery

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 3d.
The hand of Uncle Sam Simon Le-
gree was further revealed in the
Liberiap slavery situation today with
the objection of the State Depart
ment to proposal for a thorough
investigation of conditions in Liberia.
The proposal was made in the
League of Nations and is evidently
an attempt on the part of rival Bri-
fish imperialists to embarrass their
fellow imperialist robbers of the
United States.
Ever since the exposure of the
widespread enslavement of Liberian
natives by the Firestone interests of
the United States, with the aid and
support of native government tools
of U. s. imperialism, Secretary
Stimson has been throwing out a
smoke screen of rabid denunciations
of his native tools in a frantic effort
to cover the role played by the
United States imperialists, including
Herbert Hoover, prior to his election
as president of the United States, in
bringing about the enslavement Of
the -Liberian natives. Stimsons
hypocrisy is now thoroughly exposed
by the necessity facing him of OPP
posing thorough investigation of
Liberia conditions by which the U. S.
imperialists would be exposed as the
real instigators Of slavery in the
United States colony Of Liberia.
stimson's denunciations of slavery
in Liberia is all the more hypocriti-
cal because Of the existence of hun
dreds Of thousands Of Negro work
ers in the worst form of peonage
and share-cropper slavery in the
United States itself.

Philadelphia Orders 1000
ExtraCobies forHungerMarch;
Other Districts Should Follow

Philadelphia was quick to respond
to the timely suggestion of using the
Daily Worker in building up hunger
and demonstrations. Phila-
delphia sent a story in for the hun
ger march last Thursday, ordered
1900 extra copies for, that day, and
received them right on time for the
demonstration. That's rallying the
workers and boosting your circula-
ton at the same time! We expect
other districts to follow this example.

Having ended the India Round
Table Conference plottings against
the Indian workers and peasants the
Macdonald Labor" government is
now putting its major attention to
the plan of the English bosses of
nationwide wage cut Of 10 per cent
to affect all workers. Negotiations
are now under way to put the wage
cut over on the railroad workers.
Macdonald is dealing with the tex
tile owners to force the increased
loom system in the textile mills,
amounting to a direct wage cut.
But the latest news is that Philip
Snowden, Labor" Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, is collaborating with the
leading capitalists, planning the de-
tails of the national 10 per cent wage
cut. A United Press dispatch from
London, dated January 26th, says:
THE assertion was made in finan-
cial quarters here today that the
Treasury Cheaded by Philip Snow
dem had confidentiauy sent a
memorandum to the leading finan-
ciers and industria1iSts concerning
their attitude toward a 10 per cent
wage cut throughout Britain"
Imagine, asking the attitude of the
bosses for a 10 per cent wage cut!
During a discussion in the British
Parliament on Tuesday the matter
of wage-cutting came up. William
Graham, president of the Board of
Trade, replying to Sir Kingsley
Wood, a conservative member, re-
garding propose unemployment
plans, said:
Important proposals are under
discussion in various trades, but the
House will appreciate that to disclose
the nature Of these proposals would
prejudice the position of the num-
erous interests concerned and might

NEBRASKA FINDS
 NEW INDUSTRY

Alliance, Neb.--One of Nebras- ka's largest ndustries--growing or certified seed potatoes for southern states---owes its development to an accident.
 Thirteen years ago the Univer- stiles of Nebraska and Louisiana carried on joint experiment with potatoes, Nebraska grown potatoes being shipped 10 southern lands. where they were planted.
 Through the experiments be- tween the two schools 1t was found that seed potatoes grown in Ne- braska thrived best in the damp climate and low attitudes of the gulf region. From those simple experiments a gigantic potato in- dustry grew, until now potatoes are Nebraska's fourth most valuable crop.
 During the first year. 100 cars of seed potatoes were shipped sOuthward. Last year over 1000 cars were shipped. There are over 12.OOO acres of potatoes being grown in the certified fields of northwestern Nebraska this year. indicating another record-break- ing yield.
 northwest are required to have their fields certified thoroughly by registered inspe before tho seed spuds can be shipped out of the state. This insures disease-free potato seed.

TWENTY-SIX ARE ABOARD VESSEL
 THAT IS MISSING
Cabin Cruiser Was Char tered for Pleasure Trip Has Not Been Seen Since Monday Night

New York, Aug 12.-tUP)- Fear for safety of 26 persons aboard the cabin cruiser "Omar," more than 24 hours overdue from a pleasure cruise, spurred coast guard cutters and police launches to search the outer harbor to-day for trace of the craft.
 The possibility that the boat en- countered a mishap in the storm which swept the lower bay Mon- day night was seen when 1t was learned the Omar apparently did not reach its destination, Atlantic Highlands, N. J.
 Another possibility-that the engine was disabled and the craft had drifted helpless out to sea be- fore strong northeaster-also was suggested.
 Ten couples who had chartered the boat Monday for an overnight cruise. and a crew of six were aboard. Some reports said there were six members of the crew in addition to Captain Frank F. Me- Laughlin (of 2705 w. 35th street, Coney Island). making total of 27. while others included Me- Laughlin in the total of PC.
 Names of the passengers were lacking.
 The boat, 5S-foot craft, said by police to be a staunch, sea- worthy craft, capable of standing quite a blow, set out Monday from Gravesend Bay. The cruise was to extend along the eastern shore of Staten Island to Atlantic High lands and back, mostly in water protected by the long, projecting sand bar known as Sandy Hook.
 For at least part of the distance. however. the wide opening between Sandy Hook and the formation on which the Rockaways are located offered an unobstructed path to open ocean for a boat which might be disabled before a strong off, shore gale.
 The Omar was not known to be missing until late yesterday, when a man giving his name as Alfred Bernhard (of w. 35th street, Coney Jsland) called police and said his brother, a member of the party, had not returned. Then calls from other relatives were received.
 Eight coast guard cutters and four police launches went out in search. They spent all night play ing their searchlights over the water. overcast by murk and rain. Toward morning the clouds began to lift somewhat.
 The possibility remained that the boat might have put in at some small Jersey port or cove dur ing the storm, but police thought it strange that no word should have been received from those aboard If such were the case.

 Park Tonight
A Great Treat Is Promised
 Dance Lovers

According to all advance predic- tions dance lovers of the city of Waterbury and surrounding towns are to have 6 real treat" offered them when Station WTIC's popular entertainers. Tho Merry Madcaps make their first appearance here tonight at Hamilton Park Pavil- ion.
 The Madcaps are known in every home which contains a radio set, for their broadca have been a regular feature of Connecticuts 50,000 watt radio station for over two years. During this time they have sent out over 500 hours of dance music much of which has been specially composed for their use by members of the orchestra.
 The Berman tribe, q well known family of musicians, has no less than four of their members in the Madcap organization. They are practically an orchestra in them- selves, for "Tiny" the family shrimp, plays bass viol and oc- casionaly manages to wiggle his bulk into the tuba. and Norm Cloutler their director has all he can do to keep "Tiny" in the back row, in order that the rest of the orchestra can be seen. Len Der man, is a popular composer. and the excellent fashion in which he manipulates the worries on a piano, has earned him the title of "WTICs Keyboard kid." Louis Berman has blown notes out Of his saxophone in many big orchestras, and another member of the family, Freddie has had the distinction of trumpeting in the orchestras of E. A. Rolfe and Rudy Vallee.
 Nine other excellent musicians and one of radios leading" lead CTS, Norm Cloutier, have an orches- tra that is going to make Water- bury sit up and take notice.
