Japanese FdSciSts Plan
Blood Bath Against
Masses, War on USSR

Shanghai that the Observation-Disclosures
elements have not abandoned their
plans for a fascist dictatorship. A
Tokyo dispatch to the New York
Times admits that:
"Strong currents are moving in
favor of a fascist system, which
would be practically controlled by
the army"
The dispatch further admits that
the postponement of the reorgan-
ization of the Japanese Cabinet or
lines of open fascism is only tenn
porary. 1t says:
in political circles the consen-
sus was, however, that the matter
was merely postponed. A reShuf-
fling of the cabinet was cOnsid-
cred likely to follow the short par
Iiamentary session, with the posi-
bility of renewal of the movement
for national cabinet, including
the strongest leaders of all par
ties, to lead the empire through a
critical period in domestic and in
ternatiOnaI affairs"

CANTON ARMY TO
INVADE CHINESE
SOVIETDISTRICTS
Plan Joint Attack With
Chang Against Rev.
lutionary Masses

The Canton clique Of the Kuom-
intang is reported to be sending $4,000
troops at once against the Chinese
Soviets districts in Kiangsi Province.
The movement of Canton troops are
being timed to occur simultaneously
with an attack by Chang Kai-shek
on the Soviet districts in Honan,
Hupeh and other provinces.
In announcing this latest service
to the plans of the world Imperialism
for drowning in blood the revolution
airy struggles of the Chinese masses
and for the partition of China among
the imperialist plunderers, tn e
Kuomintang misleaders at the same
time made the sham gesture Of send
ing reinforcements to the Shanghai
front.
In their bloody plots against the
masses of Canton whose fury is grow
ing at this latest act of Kuomintang
cooperation with the imperialists,
the Canton Government has decreed
that all policemen in Kwangtung and
KWangsi provinces are to receive
military training land will be in
corporated in the army at critical
times"
A Shanghai dispatch TO the New
York Times admits that at least 5000
unarmed Chinese workers and their
children were killed by the aerial and
artillery bombardment by the Japan
ese of the densely populated prolet-
arian district of Chapel. The dis
patch admits that this estimate is
conservative. 1t says that more than
1000 we're wounded and 1000 are
missing. In addition, it admits
that 100000 Chinese families we're
driven from their homes, most Of the
homes being ruined, entailing build
ing damages of 100000 silver dol
lars, which is about $350,OOO,OOO in
gold"
The dispatch further admits that
tens OF thousands OF Chinese refugees
are still suffering actual starvation
in Shanghai with most of them be-
ing forced to sleep ON the streets in
the bitter cold
A committee Of 40, representing
over 5000 former employees of the

There is no exploitation here Of the

Los Angeles on working-class plat
form in the special recall reelection

completed testifying to the police
brutality in the Long Beach, Cal,

the January 18th raid on the workers
lecture.
Sander was followed on the stand
by John Culeuau, a Mexican worker
who described the beating up of the
workers at Jail by police.
Lieutenant Murphy, in charge of
the Long Beach detectives was forced
TO admit when questioned by Gal
lagher, the workers lawyer, that the
prisoners were not given blankets or
mattresses in the jail, but he said
that not he, but the individual off
GERS were responsible and have been
disciplined" In this way he hoped
to cover up governments RESPONSE

mitted using vile language to the
prisoners. In the course of his tes-
timony later he cried out, Reds have

before seen. For days thousands upon
thousands of working class men,
women and children were lined up
before the wall in the Pere la ChaiSe
cemetery in Paris and cut down by
the mitraillieuSe, the early machine

ried alike in the same bitches. So
great was the slaughter that pesti-

ands of bodies were burned in heaps.
The Paris Commune died but its

A number Of Japanese troops
slated for withdrawal from

told by General Yoshinora
ShirakaWa in a farewell speech

the call Immediately when things
happen" General Shirakawa stated:
''The conditions at home and

daily and the responsibility which
the imperial troops face in these
circumstances is mounting grad
ualIy. Under these conditions, upon
returning home you must train
yourselves sufficiently to be ready
to rally to the call Immediately
when things happen"
This statement by the japanese
Commander at Shanghai is directed
toward creating sentiment among the
troops for the support of the fascist
movement in Japan, for the increas-.
ingly savage attacks by the Japanese
ruling class against the revolutionary
struggles Of the Japanese masses and
for the sinister plans Of Japanese
Imperialism, now in their final stage,

cialiSt construction.

against imperialism! Down with
those who seek to get out of the
crisis at the expense of the life
blood of the toiling masses, at the
expense of the victories of Socialism

Soviet Union! Defend the Chinese
masses! The japanese imperialists
are butchering the Chinese masses!
They are preparing new blood
bath for the revolutionary masses
of Japan! They are pushing their
mOnstrous war provOcations against
the Soviet Union! Demonstrate
against the Japanese imperiahsts
and their diplomatic agents! Push
