Flood Threatens
Millions InClina
Dyke Repair Funds
Used for War

The criminal failure of the Chin
ese Kuomintang government to re-
pair the dykes and carry out other
flood control projects is threatening
millions of Chinese with fresh dis
aster as result of the rapid rise
of the Yangtze River. Vast areas
the Yangtze Valley are already flood
ed, with many thousands of new re-
fugees.
Taxes collected for dyke repairs
are being used to finance the Kuo-
mintang's war against the revolu-
tionary workers and peasants in the
Soviet districts and the developing
civil war between the Marking and
Canton factions of the Kuonlintang.
Marking gunboats, commanded by
Admiral Chan Chak, yesterday seized
100000 worth of munitions that we're
shipped by sea to Canton. Gen.
Chen, Canton commander, sent six
bombing planes in pursuit of Admir-
al CHAINS gunboat. The planes at
tackled British gunboat by mistake.
They later located CHAINS gunboats,
but failed to inflict any damage.
Open hostilities between Marking and
Canton are predicted in Chinese and
foreign circles.
Kwangsi Province militarists have
requested Cantons permission to
send an army through Kwangtung
Province, in which Canton is situated,
to attack the supply lines of a Chin
csc Red Army operating in Kwangsi
Province. Canton has denied per-
mission, fearing a trick on the part
of the Kwangsi militarists who are
supporting Chang Kai-shek and his
Marking Government. The Canton
gang has been outmanouvered by the
Chinese Red Armies in Kiangsi and
Fukien Provinces and forced to aban-
don their ambitions to invade the
territory of the Central Soviet Gov
eminent in Kiangsi Province.

Russia a Wonderful
Land. Says American
Electrical Worker

Dear Comrades:
On May 10th I was sent down here
by the State Chemical Trust to work.
My wages are $50 rubles per work
ing day and rs days per month. We
work five days and get one free day.
Our hours are from seven to four.
We get an hour and half for lunch.
At present we are erecting sub
stations. When the one we are on
now is finished, we have three more
to build. Out here you have to be
everything. I am supposed to be an
electrician, but as we have to cut
and drill our own steel and iron
to shape. am learning to become an
ironworker as we'll It's very good
experience. We cut our own bolts,
threads, etc. We do the outside con-
struction of the stations.
Healthier In u. S. S. r.
I am healthier and stronger now
than ever before. I can carry piece
of iron that 1 never could in your
shop. You ask me about conditions,
have visited several homes since
my arrival forty two days ago and
have eaten plenty in all of them
see no starvation. Things aren't
fine by any means but everyone has
the prime necessities, food, a place
to sleep. Naturally everyone doesn't
earn the same. In family of four
or so, with cooking done at home,
things are very good. To eat out
is rather expensive as some COM
modities are more hard to get than
others. This is so because the So
Wet Union must still export some
products in order to get machinery.
AS it is, the Russian workers have
more now than they ever had under
the Tar. They tell me so.
Vacations.
After working a certain time, one
gets his months vacation with pay
and compensation if he is sick. I
know a fellow from N. Y. who left
for Caucasia for a vacation after
working six months in Moscow. This
summer doctor told Harry Eisman
he must go to a place to rest because
he is very nervous. Harry is the N.
Y Pioneer who was sent to the USSR
by the Pioneers to save him from
boss frame up-Ed). Yes, Russia is
a wonderful land. We are working
to build towards Socialism and that
is not an overnight job, especially
where we have to reckon with all the
capitalist nations.
Comradely,

FoulIy Abused
Democratic Paper in
Frenzy Of Hatred

CHATTANOOGA, Tent, June 30
The Chattanooga Times" demo-
cratic paper here owned by the New
York Times publishers, devotes col
umn to the Communist state conven-
ton held here Sunday. The article
in the Chattanooga Times is one long
outburst Of insult and inYective, di-
rected against workers in general and
especially against individual Negro
delegates.
The article shows studied, deliber-
ate and loathsome hatred for the
Negro workers in every line. Various
Negro delegates are referred to vari-
ouSly, by name, as "a squat dwarf, !"
"a hare Tipped Negro with tusk, "
etc. Mrs, Williams, mother of one of
the Scotsboro boys is never called
Mrs, but always Mamie" Williams,
and the writer represents her as
describing with relish" the terrible
fate which the white ruling class has
scheduled for her son, and her own
attempts to save him. The white del
egates are described as "a handful Of
foreigners" and the numbers pres
ent at the convention are deliberately
lied about.
Negro workers and white workers
will answer this foul screen by voting
Communist, against the democratic
lords of the slave whip and the lynch
ing post.

THREAT MARTIAL
LAW in GERMANY
To Crush Workers
Fight Against Fascism

BERLIN, June pa further adj
vance toward an open fascist die
tatorship looms throughout Germany
as the Won Papen Government
threatens to establish martial law
in an effort to resist the rising tide
of the workers struggle.
The militant participation of the
German workers in the struggle
against the fascist measures of the
Won Papen Government is worrying"
the fascists who openly call for a more
intensified and ruthless reaction.
A dispatch from Munich quotes
Hitler's chief Lieutentnt, Joseph Goe-
bbels as stating that the national
socialists (fascists) would judge the
Won Papen government solely ac-
cording to its actions and not its
words. The dispatch adds that Goeb-
bells made such statement at a
meeting of districts commanders
which was held in Munich yester-
day to discuss the electoral platform
The government fears that the
coming election will give the fascists
and the nationalist less than half
the Reichstag seats and is therefore
trying to win the unconditional
support Of the Catholics. If the
leaders of the Catholic Centre Party,
former Chancellor Bruening, will not
yield to the governments pressure, it
is assured that the Reichstag will
be dissolved again soon after the
election. 4
The restoration of the monarchy
was proposed at a caucus meeting of
Nationalist last Saturday. Alfred
Hugenberg, nationalist leader, de-
clared that he favors the return of
the old monarchy "as way of end
ing the political strife in Germany"

local officials tried to keep the WI.R.
secretary from speaking, but the
miners shouted him down. When
local U. M w. A. men made all sorts
of charges against the WIR. and the

at several camps. One will be held

GERMAN MASSES PROTEST
Oppose Payment Of
War Tribute

The Lausanne Conference on
war debts and PREPARATIONS yes
terday followed the Geneva
Disarmament" con f eren C e
into complete failure and bank
ruptcy, with the imperialist
powers unable to overcome
their antagonisms.
The French delegates re-
fused to recede from their de-
mands that Germany set definite
date for the resumption OF payments
on the huge war tribute levied by the
victor powers in the last World War.
The German delegates, headed by
Chancellor Won Papen, were unable
to commit themselves in the face of
the iron resistance of the German
masses to further sacrifices and i'm
poverishment. Won Papen's offer to
the French Of a military alliance
against the Soviet Union failed COM
pletely to satisfy the French who are
doubtful that the German junkers
can carry out the alliance in the face
of the revolutionary situation in
Germany and the hatred of the Ger
man masses of the French imperial
lists.
The attempts of Prime Minister
Macdonald of England to induce the
French to tone down their demands
in order to build the united front
against the Soviet Union were un-
successful.
Huge demonstrations against fur
ther reparation payments were held
throughout Germany yesterday, the
thirteenth anniversary of the sign
ing of the Versailles Treaty. The
powerful Communist press expressed
outspoken opposition to further pay
ments, "Rote Fahne" Communist
paper, declaring:
For thirteen years the hard
working German people have been
bearing the slave chains of the dis
graceful peace that took away the
largest portions of their country
and delivered millions of Germans
to national enslavement as well as
to social exploitation by imperial
list powers and which In addition
to date has squeezed out 6S,0O0,-
100000 marks (about $16,32O,0OO-
C0O)."
Washington dispatches report pri-
vate information that the conference
will adjourn without effecting any
solution Of the imperialist differences.
At Geneva, the imperialists con-
tinued their sham manouvers on
farms cuts" and disarmament" with
part of the French arms delegation
pretending to look with favor on the
Hoover arms cut" proposals which
aim to weaken the imperialist rivals
of Wall Street, while the main body
of the French delegation expressed
the official opposition of the French
Government to the Hoover plan. The
British continued its refusal to COM
NIT itself definitely on the Hoover
plan, Macdonald promising to offer
a British counter plan within the
next few days.

Heavy pressure of the rank and file
worker veterans has forced the COM

toward democratic elections.

the elections" which the present

nounced will take place Friday, are
to be conducted through the secret
ballot-that is, ballot boxes under con-
troll of the military clique will be
placed in the various camps and the
veterans will be asked to vote for a
slate of hand-pioked candidates.
Demand Open Elections
S. J. Stember, leader of the Work
ers Ex-Servicemen's League, an
nounced today in the headquarters at
905 II" Street that the Provisional
Bonus March Committee and the
masses of veterans supporting their
program would demand open elections
and free discussion in all camps and
billets.
mot word was said in the latest
program of the Committee of Seven
about the fight for the bonus" said
Stember. "The election call is not
genuine, but is blind thrown up
by the committee in order to fool
the veterans into believing that they
will have rank and file leadership,
whereas in truth they will have a
new hand picked crowd of Iobbyers
and police agents."
Stember said that the Workers Elk
Servicemen's League would Sc n d
speakers to the camps to ask for a
vote on resolution calling for dem
ocratic rank and file control and a
mass demonstration before congress.

talk of these takers to about so work
ers. they let us ask questions. I've
only been with the Communist move
ment for short time, but it did not
seem to be hard for some comrades

selves questions, which they could
not answer without exposing them
selves as flunkies of Wall Street. The
whole meeting turned into fight be-

present and these labor betrayers
with the exception of few stool
pigeons who were hanging around.
