Push Attack on
Soviet Union

The French and Spanish i'm
perialists are binding their united
front against the Soviet Union
closer on the basis of the supposed
rights of the French In the Chi
nese Eastern Railway. Jules Mas
senet, manager of the Franco
Asiatic Bank, who is now in Tokyo
Is offering the japanese vassal
state, Menchukuo, his aid in Sc
curing loan in Paris. The di-
rectors of the Franco-Asiatic bank
are attempting to sen their sup
posed rights In the Chinese East
ern to the japanese. Massenet is
comparatively small banker. He
is being used, however, by the
French imperialists, to hide the
fact that the big bankers and the
| government are behind this to
strengthen the ring Of iron around
the Soviet Union.

Reach Preparations Settlement

The Lausanne conference of the various i'm
perialist powers closed on July 8, with Germany
agreeing to pay $715, 100000 in PREPARATIONS. This
will be paid to the Bank for International Settle
ments in the form of five per cent certificates.
The entire capitalist press is using this settle
gnent to "prove" that the crisis has in some de-
gree been relieved. The settlement of the i'm
perialist powers only puts the official stamp Of
approval on the accomplished fact that Germany
could not continue paying the reparations that
were demanded of her. By this settlement the
other imperialistS want to bind Germany into the
anti-Soviet front for the attack the workers
and farmers government.
AS a sequel to this these powers will now
begin conferences with the United States with
view tc settling the war debts owed to the
United States. The rapsrations question could
not have reached this settlement the
United States had not informed the imperialists
unoffciay that it would cooperate by settling the
uncollectible war debts on the same basis. Even
after this unofficial promise the war debt confer
ences are bound TO bring to the fore the various
bitter antagonists among the imperialists them
selves.

Epidemic of Desertions" in Manchuria

The guerilla movement in Manchu1ia against
the japanese puppet government is steadily in
creasing in strength. Whole districts are in the
hands of the anti-government forces who appear
to be consolidating themselves and developing into
something than armed bands. The bour-
geois press report that the guerilla groups are
under communist leadership and that they are
aiming at obtaining control over whole areas with
a view to sOvietising them and establishing gov
ernments along the lines of the southern Chinese
Soviet areas.
One of the great weaknesses of the Man
churian government forces is what the bourgeois
press terms "an epidemic of assertions" The
Manchurian government troops stationed in Har-
bin lose average from 80 to 40 men day
in this way. significant fact about these deser-
tiOns is that the men do not just sneak off, but
take their rifles, ammunition and equipment with
them. Under the circumstances, where they end
is not in doubt. In many cases whole units COM
pete with officers have disappeared in this fash
ion. The Japanese press is demanding energetic
action on the part of the Manchurian authorities
TO put stop to this, but what the government is
to do is not stated for the deserters do not come
back to be punished
The district around Hardin is becoming In
creasngly unsafe for Japanese troops unless they
are in large numbers, and even in Hardin itself
japanese soldiers have been attacked and dis
armed on several occasions. The telephone con-
nections between the Japanese staff and the bar.
racks are interfered with almost daily.

The Belgian Katanga company, one of the
chief foreign copper producers, has been selling
the red metal at five cents pound abroad, the
lowest price in history for the metal. This is
the first stage in the price war among the copper
producers which broke out as the result of the
withdrawal of several foreign members of Copper
Exporters Inc. which has dictated prices for sew
eral years. This is one more attempt of the cap

Foremost World Writer Supports
Communist Ticket

New York.-The world renowned
novelist, Theodore Dresser, who
has for more than three decades
been a great social force in world
literature, issued today a scathing
denunciation of existing capitalist
institutions and their political par
ties, pointing out their utter econo-
mic and moral bankruptcy, and for
the first time in his long career
endorsed the Communist party pro
gram and its nominees in a ma
tional election.
Capitalism in the face of the
greatest opportunities ever offered
it by any land or nation" said
Mr.. Dresser, ''has failed to use the
enormous wealth and power &C
cumulated by it in any human and
socially constructive way. 1t has
failed as a system of government. I"
The novelist then pointed out
that twelve million unemployed are
now tramping the streets and the
highways of this country, hungry
and destitute, searching for work
and bread. "Eighty-five per cent
of the employed" he said, "are
working only a few days a week
and only fifteen per cent of the
employed have fulltime Jobs. One
out of every five farms in America
has been forecIosed. Yet the cor

ton leaders, and spokesman of the
