OPEN
JEHOL ATTACK

The Japanese imperialists have
intensified their invasion of Jehol,
according TO the capitalist press
dispatches from Peiping and other
north China points. While Chinese
troops have been falling back be-
fore the Japanese invaders bomb
ing planes have been spreading
death and terror among the civil
ian population. Tens of thousands
of Chinese are fleeing into the
open country to avoid the murder
Gus japanese planes.
The retreat of the Chinese troops
is due in large part to the refusal
of the Chinese leaders to put up
a determined struggle against the
Japanese.
Wang Chin Wei, leader of the
Marking government has decided
co resume the office of president
of the council from which he re-
signed on August 9. At that time
the entire cabinet also resigned.
| Against the misleadership of the
big merchants the movement boy
cotting Japanese goods is taking
on greater dimensions. The num-
Der of merchants who are forced
to refuse to bay from the Japa-
nese by mass pressure is increas-
} ing steadily. In order to free it
self from any suspicion that it was
participating in the struggle the
? CHINESE Chamber of Commerce has
j. denounced all boycotters as "trai
tors" This has been done at ths
: command of the Japanese imper
ialists who are being hit severed,
/ by the boycott. By their actions
the Chinese capitalists show again
: that they are tools in the hand
of the Japanese bankers and gen
G erals and enemies of the Chimes
K masses.
:. 1t has ben reported in Tokyo tn
: Japanese have made plans to an
e mex Manchuko (Manchuria) t
.e Japan instead of leaving it 'sir
dependent" as it is now. This an
& nexatiOn means only admittin
e openly what is already true in fac
IS 1t means that the Japanese al
determined TO remain in Manchuri
y to exploit the country and th
masses, and to be established q
z capitalist spearhead against Il
sr Soviet Union.

Fight On; Demanding
Release of Prisoners

YONKERS, N. Y, August II. -
Yonkers and White Plains workers
and jobless are planning new strugg-
les for unemployment relief without
discrimination, for the right to meet,
and for release of arrested jobless
leaders. They do this while two
workers still lie in the General Hos
pital after being beaten up in the
dark by police, twice, once in the
patrol wagon. They were arrested
at the demonstration for the right
to meet in the streets, Wednesday,
Aug. 3. One has internal injuries,
and the other has 81 welts across the
body.
Their demands were for cash relief
in working class neighborhoods, in
stead of the tainted canned goods
jobless workers get as payment for
their work for the city. And, especi-
ally in the Seventh Ward, many Ital-
ian workers are Disseminated against
and get nothing.

puani and Thomasselli Sebastiano

WORKERS WIN ALL
DEMANDS FROM
THE RED CROSS
Joined by the Starving
Farmers and City
Workers

MIDDLESBORO, KY, Aug 49,
Unemployed miners here, the majority
of them veterans of the recent heroic
strike led by the National Miners
Union, marched 10 miles to Williams
burg, county seat of Whitley County,
and forced the Red Cross to distrib-
ute flour to them. The miners were
accompanied by starvjn2 farmer
from the surrounding section.
The Red Cross has always refused
to distribute flour to the unemployed.
Before the Unemployed Council was
formed, the unemployed miners who
complained against this discrimina-
ton were told by the Red Cross "to
go to the Reds" with whom the min
ers are obviously sympathetic.
The 13-mile march for relief was
led by Elizabeth Baldwin, wife Of
Julius Baldwin, the miner who was
killed by operators gun thugs in front
of a Workers International Relief
station last December. When the
miners reached Williamsburgh they
were joined by 125 local unemployed
workers. Taken back by the mill
fancy and determination of the work
ers, the Red Cross officials granted
every one of their demands, includ-
ing the right of a committee of min
ers to distribute the flour.
More flour was promised the min
ers in few days. After several days
had elapsed and no flour had arrived,
the workers marched on the office
of the Red Cross again. The Red
Cross officials heard of the oncom-
ing marchers and sent a truckload
of 200 bags of flour to meet them.
This, too, was placed in the hands of
the miners for distribution.
Many workers joined the Unem-
ployed Council as the result of its
successful fight for immediate relief,
The relief march took place in the
same section that recently elected a
School Committee on Communist
platform in spite of the most vicious
terror.

CLOWN GEORGE, NEW SOVIET
FILM, OPENS AT ACME SUNDAY

Clown George, the latest Soviet
film to reach these shores, will have
its American premiere at the Acme
Theatre this Sunday. This is the first
of five Soviet films which the Acme
has contracted with Amkino for mi
tial showing in America.
The story deals with the struggle
of the Red Army against the whites
in the Civil War which took place in
the Ukraine. 1t is a gripping tale of
the days when not only the White
Armies, but the foreign invaders,
overran the country and laid waste
to the Ukraine. Here is a picture of
action and revolution. Those who
have seen the film in it's special
showing claim that Clown George
is one of the most interesting and
engrossing movies ever shown in
America.
