Fascists, Socialists Work to
Bolster Up German Capitalism

NEW YORK,-Confirming what
the Daily Worker pointed out many
weeks ago. the New oYrk Times
prints cable from its special Berlin
correspondent. Guido Enderis, tel
ling Of the united front of the So
cialists and Fascists with the Brue-
ming government.
Chancellor Bruening is getting the
consent of the socialists and fascists
for united action against the reyolu-
tionary workers and Communists and
the strengthening of the present fas-
cist measures by eliminating all spring
elections
After an interview with the fascist
leader Herrn Hitler, the Times re-
ports that Or Bruening received q
delegation Of leading socialists, whose
approval is also indispensable TO any
action of the Reichstag in the direc-
ton of extending President Won Hin
denburgs term of Office through con-
stitutional expedients."

make the government and bosses
abandon the policy of mass starva-
ton unless they fight.
"That is why the bosses can find
no comfort In the Cox's Army. That
is why Cox has so carefully arranged
that no actual unemployed worker
and only he shall speak. That is also
why thousands of workers who start
ed with the march left on the first
day and returned to Pittsburgh
'"The disorganized character of the
action led by Cox is no accident Cox
seeks to destroy the faith Of the
masses in their ability to make adj
vances through their own organized
efforts. Furthermore Cox did not
dare, even if he could, create all Or
ganizatiou with broad leadership
That's why the action around the
Capitol was such a disgraceful spec
tacle from the point of view of or
ganization, let alone militsncy Ger
tainly, however, the workers in this
march we're and will yet prove their
ability to conduct militant, organized
struggle.
Like the infamous czarist spy, F'a-
Their Gapon, who led the workers Of
st. Petersburg into the bloody trap
that has gone into history as Bloody
Sunday 1906" Father Cox, his Amer
lean enulator has led several thou
sand workers to disappointment and
at least three workers to death. Cox
has proven that he and his policies
and his kind lead the unemployed to
cemeteries not only for inpotent
prayer but for actual premature
death and burial Those workers who
died in the course of the tragically
disorganized march are direct VIC
tins of the criminal responsibility
and disregard Tor workers lives which
is characteristic of all these self APP
pointed "saviours." Cox deliberately
induced workers to join his march
with promises of food and shelter
and then left them to die of ex-
posure and hunger.
1.-THE Cox March" will serve as a
valuable experience and lesson to the
masses OF workers. 1t will make more
difficult the task of those who seek
to defeat our struggles by means of
derlagogy. In this sense we may say
that the movement of the unemploy-
ed has been strengthened by the ex-
perience gained in this action and
will thus carry forward with greater
effectiveness the struggle for the pro-
gram outlined in the historic Ma
tional Hunger March of last De-
cember."

Of the town is south of the Great

Japanese planes again bombed a
number of Chinese towns yesterday,
killing and injuring hundreds of
Chinese workers, women and chill
dren.
In a statement admitting the
heroic resistance Of the Red partisan
troops in Manchuria, the Japanese
government announces its intention
to increase its already huge forces
in Manchuria. The Japanese are or
dering their Chinese puppet govern
ments in Manchuria to aid in the
campaign OF suppression against the
Chinese masses in Manchuria. A
number of Red partisan prisoners
have been turned over to the Chinese
authorities for execution.

The statement on the Cox hunger
march, signed by Herbert Benjamin
national secretary, follows:
From its very inception to its dis
graceful conclusion, Cox's action pro-
Yides q classical example of the
manner in which demagogues mis-
lead, exploit and deceive the poverty
stricken masses. Starting with a
vague program calling for Jobs with
cut indicating how jobs can be pro-
yided for the twelve million unem-
ployed) and for prayers to soften
the hearts Of the president a Hplem-
beers of Congress" Cox has tenn
atically sought to divert the9zhasses
from the path Of mass struggle. This
and the advancement of the political
ambitions of Pinchot has been the
only concern Of this pious hypocrite.
''Manifestly, however, the workers
who joined in the march were mott
waited only by a desire to give further
expression to their determination &c
struggle against hunger and to- the
demands which they have repeatedly
made upon the government, for work
or adequate immediate relief and I'M
employment insurance. The uilen-
ployed who participated in this
march did not come to Washington
to sing patriotic songs. to pray or to
display the American flag. They did
noc seek as Cox, to offset the effect
of the great National Hunger March
On the contrary they we're inspired
to join in further struggle by the his
toric action carried through under

bread. The praise that was given

AIDES and seize customs stations at

anese boycott in China The Gov
eminent is increasingly concerned
over the movement.
"Officials said the boycott was
increasing rapidly throughout
China and that many japanese
firms, threatened with bankruptcy,
had asked the Government for in
demnity."
The British imperialist press ex-
presses surprise over the United
States move. A London dispatch de-
clares:
Everywhere the action Is de-
scribed as grave challenge and
the tenor Of Secretary Stimsons
note to Tokyo Is referred to as
stern"
France and England Rejects U. S.
Lead
The Reuters News Agency charac-
terizes Stimson's action as marking
"the gravest development that has
yet taken place in the Manchurian
crisis" The French government has
refused to back the United States in
its diplomatic pressure against the
japanese. A Paris dispatch reports
that the French Foreign Office an
nounced yesterday sit had no inten-
ton of following the lead of the Uni
ted States in recalling to Japan her
obligations under the Nine Power
treaty" This means that the French
imperialists intend to continue their
support to the Japanese on the basis
that their loot in China is not
threatened by the japanese invasion
Of Inner China. The French inter
ests are confined to Southern China.
They expect the provinces OF yum
nan and KWangsi as part Of their
loot in the partition Of China.
England has also indicated she will
not join the United States in the
present move.
The present situation contains all
of the elements for a rapid armed
intervention against the Chinese
Revolution, for the partition OF
China, at the same time tremend-
ously increasing the danger Of war
against the Soviet Union.
Under the direction of the French
tmperialists, a conference Is being
held at Warsaw between represent
atives of the Polish and Rumanian
governments. The queSfion Of sign
ing a non-aggreSSive pact with the
Soviet Union Is under considers
ton. The Soviet Union has ex-
pressed its willingness to sign such
a pact, but the French imperialists
do not desire such a pact. As re-
suit all sorts Of difficulties are be-
ing raised by the Rumanian and
Polish governments.
II is now all the more necessary
TO make February 4, National I'm

day of tremendous demonstrations
throughout the country, for unem-
pIoyment relief and Insurance, and
