That the population of Manchuria

Japanese can wen be taken for
granted. The Japanese, however,
are making use of this movement
for further provocatiOns against ths
Soviet Union, for increased troop
concentrations on the Soviet bor-

support bandit bands who have
nothing to do with the national

TO afford the japanese a further

Army Sends War Or
der to CramertOn
Mills, Charlotte, NC.

tBy Worker Correspondent
CHARLOTTE, N. C.-Continuing
its delirious preparations for a
world slaughter, the American
government, through its army
depot quartermaster, has ordered
1,223,125 yards of cloth, SO inches
wide Of khaki cotton material to
be used for uniforms for the army,
from the Cramerton Mills, just
outside of Charlotte, N. C.
The order is described as "unu-
sually large and the mill is ex-
pected to work on ii all fall and
summer. The cloth is a new sort
to be used in places like "the Phil
ippines, Hawaii and other places
where the sun shines hot" &C
cording to Cramer, owner of the
mills.
This order gives the lie to the
peace maneuvers of the American
government and proves concIu-
sively the important part America
is planning TO play in the world
capitalist bloc being formed for
an attack against the Soviet
Union.
The Communist Party and the
Young Communist League of
Charlotte are taking immediate
steps to form organization within
the mill and mobilize the workers
therein for struggle against the
vicious stretchOut system in the
mill and against the bosses war.

GEN. BLUECHER
AGAIN WARNS
WAR M0NGERS
Red Army Commander
y Says Red Army Will
Defend Soviet Soil

Addressing the huge May
Day celebration in Khaba-
rovsk, Siberia, General Vassili
Bluecher, commander of the
Soviet Far Eastern forces,
bluntly warned the Japanese mill
tarists and other imperialist war in
citers that the Soviet Red Army will
defend every inch of Soviet soil
against the reactionary forces who
are seeking to destroy the glorious
achievements Of the Soviet masses in
building Socialism, in aboDshing
unemployment, want, race hatred and
national convention. A dispatch to
the New York Times from its MOS
COW correspondent quotes General
Butcher as declaring:
"The flames of real war are be-
ginning to flicker near our from
tiers. We know the capitalist world
wants war and is ready to choke
the hated Soviet Union"
The dispatch goes on to report:
"He continued that the Red Army
would protect Russias frontiers and
prevent any alien foot from trampl-
ing on the soil of the collective farms,
and he concluded by saying the
Soviet Union did not want war, but
only an opportunity to build up the
country-a sound statement in the
view Of observers here, since the
Soviet Union is now spending every
ounce Of its strength to get on its
feet industry and agriculture. War
would drain Russia's strength and
sap her energy, which the Bolshevik
want to use to build factories"
The Times correspondent further
interprets the character of the ire
mendous May Day demonstrations
throughout the Soviet Union as re-
flecting both the growing irritation
Of the Soviet masses against the
monstrous Japanese war provocations
and the fir mdesire of the Soviet
Union for peace. He says:
That attitude is that Soviet
Russia does not want war, but sees
indications that it is coming, and,
il it does, Russia will fight her
hardest against any aggression"
The Times correspondent reports,
in warning to the capitalists, the
receipt by the Soviet Union on May
Day Of many kilograms from work
ers organizations pledging solidarity
with the Soviet masses and defense
for the Soviet Union. He writes:
"Also on May Day, kilograms
poured in to General Bluecher from
groups of workers in China, as well
as in VladivOstok and other Far
Eastern centres, announcing their
staunch support of the Soviet Union
and their readiness to protect its
borders in case of attack"
