WAR LORDS CLASH
AT TIBET BORDER
Szechuan Generals in
Revolt

A second generals war has broken
out in the great Western province of
Szechuan, which borders on Tibet,
according to report from Shanghai.
About six war lords started milit-
airy offensive last Sunday against
Governor Liu Wen-hui.
The war lords are led by Liu
Hsiang, the military leader in con-
troll of Chunking He is a nephew
of the governor. The clash was pre-
cipitated by General Liu Hsiang's
seizure of a 100000 shipment of
arms and ammunitions addressed to
Chengtu.
The war is now raging at Litu,
Shrinking, Chewkow and Kiangtisin,
with the generals trying to open their
way to Chengtu, the capital of the
province.
1t is reported that governor Liu
actually controls 70 counties while
the generals control about 10 more.
This generals war in a province
bordering ON Tibet is not without
connection with what is termed Eng
lands little war on China. In GER
tain measure it might be regarded
as an extension of the military &C
tivity recently started by Tibetan
troops lead by British officers.
The Japanese press point out that
Tibet is completely in British hands
both economically and politically, and
that British India is sending am
munitions to Tibet in order to en-
able it's troops to better carry on
the war against China.

Thugs Gust Communist

ity Center in YOnkers

YONkERS, N. Y-Police and
thugs we're used last night at the
Jewish Community Center to force
through the discrimination against
the Communist Party decided upon
by the heads of this so-called lib
eral" institution.
Ignoring the letter of protest sent
by the Communist Party when the
Center invited the republican, DEM
ocratic and socialist parties to send
speakers to this symposium, Paul j..
Bauerberg, chairman of the educa-
tional committee led in organizing
and directing the attack of police and
thugs to crush the protest of the
workers.
Irwin Wagner, member of the
educational committee of the Center,
and Joe Brown, were dragged from
the hall by the police when they
rose to protest the action of Bauer
berg and the other heads of the
Center. Bauerberg stated that he
was the boss of the meeting and that
there would be no question or dis
cussion from the floor. This same
Bauerberg posed as revolutionary"
and radical
While this show OF force was di-
rected against the workers and the
Communist Party which alone has
voiced the demands of the starving
unemployed of Yonkers and inspired
and led their struggles against hun
ger and wage-cuts, Louis Waldman,
socialist candidate for governor look
ed on in approving silence.

Election Film
Shows CyniciSnn
of Hollywood
BY SAMUEL BRODY

(W0rkers Film and FOtO League)
ACCORDING to George NJ. Cohan's
II own admission, it required some
hundreds of writer's to turn out the
movie script for 1.-THE Phantom Pre-
sident." This film, therefore repre-
sents fair cross section of the
creative genius of Hollywood's BRAIN
hirelings.
The thesis of this farce is simple
enough; Any capitalist political party
can fool the masses any and all the
time providing it dominates a char
latan and demagogue who can sing
about "Our grand old flag-don't let
her drag!" and who campaigns on the
assumption that the voters want a
musical comedy Presidential cam
paign."
The cynical prostitutes Who wrote
the script for this film are convinced
that crisis or no crisis, the workers
can still be fooled into voting for some
one with sufficient seX-appeal and a
good line of bunk.
In this case some "thirteen-herb
cure" mountebank is elected There
is very forced hint at the conclusion
of the film that this faker will reform
and fight for the peoples interests"
1t comes as a very discordant note in
this most self-revelatory piece of i'm
pudence ever thrust into the face of
the workers by capitalist Hollywood
1t isn't really meant. Varney is just
the right scoundrel for this ruling
class. Varney is Roosevelt, Varney is
the typical American bourgeois mis-
leader of tine toiling masses.
More and more workers and poor
farmers are beginning to see through
the Varneys and the class they rule
for. l suspect that even Director
Norman Taurog is aware Of the grant
fraud of the capitalist political three
ring circus. If I'm wrong, then I'm
at a loss to explain that swell shot
in which the rear-end of a cops horse
fades out to make way for the mug
of bourgeois politician shouting -,
of the people, by the people, for the
people ;" into a mike at a poll
teal convention.

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION!
SECOND SYNTHETIC RUBBER FACTORY
IN OPERATION IN The SOVIET UNION
Socialist Technique Ovelcomes Difficulties Shows It's Unqueston
able Superiority in New Unexpor ed Field of Production

On the eve of the 18th anniversary
OF the Russian Revolution, which will
further emphasize the contrast be-
tween the situation of the workers
and peasants in the Soviet Union
and the misery and starvation of the
toilers in the richest" capitalist
country on earth, the u S., the main
departments of the Veronezh Syn
thetic Rubber Factory No. have be-
gun to operate and the first con-
signment of rubber will be obtained
shortly.
This is the second synthetic rub
her factory put in operation this
year. The first one opsned the end
Of July, in Yareslav.
Comemnting on the Importance of
the event. "Izvestia," official organ
OF the Central Executive Committee
Of the Soviet Union, quotes Stains
iaGssoil at the first ALI Union Con-
sersEce of Industrial Managers as
Follows:
\ I'VE have everything in this
country but rubber. But in a year
or two we shall have cur own rub
Der as we'll"
Less tian year and a half has
elapsed since that speech, and al
ready the Soviet Union has two pow
erful synthetic rubber plants, equip
red with up-to-dste machinery. No
c her country in the world has any
synthetic rubber factories in opera
ton. One such factory was operated
in Germany during the war, but it
closed down as soon as the war was
over.
The U. S. S. r. had no models to
go by when contradiction was started,
it had no expert, no equipment, and
even no literature as guide. And
Notwithstanding the fact that ex-
tremely complicated machinery is re-
ouired in the production of synthetic
rubber, the first rubber factory was
developed in less than a year.
Now the second plant has begun
to operate. and shortly third viii

The plants in operation next year
will fully meet the requirements of
the growing Soviet. automobile in

"IzVestia" concludes: "FTQn few

by Professor Lebedev in laboratory

VOTE EXPULSION
FOR CHAUYINISM
Rowbitzky Guilty, Is
Verdict at Trial

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. g.
Over 200 Negro and white workers
filled the Pythian Hall, 18th and U
Streets, last Monday night, and
heartily endorsed the decision of the
local section of the Communist Party
to expel Stanley Rowbitzky, Party
member for five years, for white
chauvinism. Rowbitzky had been
charged with excluding two young
Negro boys from swimming at the
Washington Cooperative Camp at
Drury, Md, at which he had the
position of life guard.
A trial board of Negro and white
workers, selected from the audience
and sympathetic organizations, has
brought in verdict OF guilty, Evil
dence both for and against the ac-
cused was presented by many men,
bers of the audience.
Paul Cline, Baltimore washington
organizer for the Party, who con-
Quoted the prosecution, pointed out
that Rowbitzky had excluded the Ne
groes from the beach but had, at the
same time, allowed whites to enter
the water. He declared that the
Party can tolerate no one in its
ranks who has elements of race hat
red, especially since Rowbitzky had
been in the Party five years and
should have known the line Of con-
duct for Communist,
William Powell, local Party organ
izer, who undertook the defense,
showed that it is the capitalist sys-
tenn that is responsible for such acts.
1t has been learned that Rowbitzky
will also be tried ON the same charges
by the International Workers Order,
Of which he is a member.
