is to be shipped at once, with the
balance of the order following at an
early date.
The shipment has been sanctioned
by the Wall Street government which
must pass on all shipments Of arms
and munitions from the country. The
United States imperialists, alarmed
by reports of increasing revolutionary
activities against the Wall Street die
tator. Machado, are sending the Or
ders through with the greatest dis
patch and giving liberal credit terms
to the Cuban government. The
greatest secrecy is being maintained
as usual on the shipment, but it is
understood that the Cuban govern
ment stressed the necessity of speed
in shipping the munitions.
NEW YORK. Recent dispatches
from Cuba reported armed attacks
by workers and peasants on govern
ment officials and police in the recent
elections, with the burning of voting
booths in many sections of the in
terror in protest against the Machada
political machine and its wholesale
robbery of votes. The struggles of
the starving workers and ruined peas
ants are also. breaking through the
Machada terror and causing the
greatest alarm to American inper-
ialism.

Burma Voters Hit
British Scheme to
Divide Up India

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Those Bur-
mese able to vote under the limited
franchise scheme of British imper-
ialism, overwhelmingly rejected the
British plan to separate Burma from
India in the Burmese general cleo
lions yesterday. Anti-separationist
candidates won 80 seats in the Pro-
vincal Legislature, as against 20 for
the candidates supporting the Brit
ish scheme and nine for the "neu-
trails" who refused to commit them
selves on the plan.
The British National Government
headed by Ramsay Macdonald, is
p. ing to ignore the expressed
wishes of the electorate and to push
its scheme for separating Burma from
India under the pretext of extending
q greater measure of "self-rule."

THE MEERUT CASE IN INDIA

E AAE NAEEhOl GASE In INDIA
v Meerut is a city in Central India
that is becoming notorious as the seat
Of another giant class-war trial. The
Meerut case has already become his
torical. 1t is an attempt to smash
the whole working class movement of
land with 100000 toilers. British
Imperialism has spent hundreds of
thousands Of pounds in the endeavor
to frame the joint stand Of the British
and Indian working-clas represen-
tatives.
The Meerut prisnoers are a living
symbol of the international solidarity
tof the British and Indian toilers.
Over a period of A months these 81
prisoners, three of whom are British
workers, have been incarcerated in a
tropical jail in one of the hottest
barts of India. Six of them have al
Beady died in Jail D. r. Thengdi,
ieterna Indian Nationalist, was sent
nom Meerut Jail to a Poona hospital
to die there September 20, 1882. He
had been in jail since March 1929
Now the hearing of the case is over
md the judges sentence (there is no
pry = the prisoners were sent to
ieerut because it is the one city in
INDIA where they could be railroaded
to prison without jury) will be
handed down on December LIST.
The sentence that will be passed
depends largely on the steps taken
during this intervening period. II is
the h'eh duty Of every supporter, Of

ounce Of effort into the building of

as il should and CAN be. II must
be strengthened. That is why we
reed the $4,000 new subs for the

That is why every class conscious
worker should Immediately take
upon his own shoulders the job of
getting as many subs as he can,
Are we ready? Then
LET'S GO!
Looking over our Office files. we
find that as our drive for 25, 900 subs
begins, we already have 70 subscrip-
tions for the Saturday issue. That
leaves only 24,928 more to be gotten
by February 1, 1888, which shouldn't
be hard to get if EVERY subscriber
gets new subscriber and EVERY
Party member gets a new reader.
When do we announce our first
thousand subs?
Here's an item that ought TO put
life into our campaign!
John l.. Spiyak's sensational ex-
posure of Negro slavery in the

WARSAW (By maiD The illegal
Polish Communist Party has issued a
statement against the aims of Polish
imperialism. This statement reads.
The Fascist Pilsudski Government

area, and that all the Danzig railway
personnel. as well as the customs Of
ticials, must use Polish as their Of

Mpyeott of Danzig, and the repeated
Eeps for military control of the Dan
Gg haFbor, this latest measure cyni-
caIly and openly reveals the Polish
boufgeoisie's repaeious imperialist
plans against Danzig. which have
been denounced by the Communist
Party of Poland.
This new measure of force against
the subject German population Of
Danzig is likewise another step ip
Polish imperialisms preparation for
a war of Intervention in the Soviet

also denounces the aid given the
Polish miperialists in this action
against Danzig by the Fascist P.P.S.
Polish Socialist Party, which has
frankly stated its approval of this
policy of subjugation.
THE Central Committee of the
Communist Party of Poland calls on
