BERLIN, June 8.-The bourgeois

Cabinet intends to dissolve the new
Reichstag Immediately after the

cist nationalist obtain a majority.
Reliable source reports that the
government intends to suppress the
Young Communist League, the Anti

The Young Communist League is

today warning them of the danger of
suppression and calling for mass

fight against the wage-cuts, the
compulsory labor service, the plans
of fascism for imperiahst war, and

SAITO SECRET
MEET WITH
US. AGENTS
Plan to Push War On
China, Attack.
U.S.S.R.

Admiral Saito, the head of the Jap
anese fascist military dictatorship
held secret conference with the
United States, British, French and
Italian Ambassadors yesterday.
A Toxic dispatch admits that the
conference was connected with the
Japanese proposals for the setting up
of new spheres of influence in Chi
ma. The secret conference no doubt
discussed an extension of the pres
ent armed intervention by the i'm
perialists against the Chinese Revo-
luton, and the plans of world i'm
perialisn for armed intervention
against the Soviet Union and its
successful socialist construction.
With the tremendous victories of
the Chinese Red Army and the
growth of the power of the Chinese
Soviet District and the Central Chi
nese Soviet Government, the imperi-
alists are engaging in more and more
open and active armed intervention
against the revolutionary Chinese
worker pee SAINT masses.
At ths game time, the imperiahSts,
faced with a terrific deepening of the
world crisis of capitalism, are desper-
ately turning to war for a capitalist
way out of the crisis.
More than ever the workers must
be on guard against the criminal war
plans of the imperialists, and for the
defense Of the Chinese people and
the Soviet Union.
