What sort of homes will you build?"
he was asked.
Modern bungalows" he said modest
ly. Modern bungalows, not shackS like
we had at Anacostia. Why, there's
nothing this bunch can't do. There are
as fine a lot of mechanics, carpenters
and masons in this bunch as you will
find anywhere in the world"
A little further down in the woods
there were other shelters thrown I'D,
and a fire had been lighted. But food
seemed to be scarce.
When We get the food supply going,

won't be nothing like the way things
were arranged up in Washington. Why
you know half that food that was
meant for us was used up by some of
the guys that we're staying in hotels.
You know that amt right. But Comdr
Waters said there won't be nothing
like that again.
And say, buddy'-the conversation
grew confidential-"if you bring in any
food, give it to us, won't you? You
don't have to turn it over to them head
quarters guys. Give it to us, and you
can be sure that those that need 1t
most will get it,"
If the B. E. F. has fond expectations
of selling lumber from this land and
of farming the land for food. such eX-
pectationS are not shared with any op-
timism by the natives of Anne Arundel
County, who know how hard it is to
get living from the soil.
The tract that has been donated to
the marchers was farmed so or go years
ago-or part of it, at least, was farmed.
And since that time parts of it have
been cut for lumber and cross-ties.
There is an abandoned saWmill on the
place Some white oak and chestnut oak
and a little pine remain on the land,
and this, it is said, could be sold for
ties and maybe cut into lumber. But
as for the proceeds yielding a return
that would help support thousand or
more men-that, of course, is regarded
as plainly silly by the natives.
Why" one of them said, Mrs. Edgell
knew she couldn't make any money
selling timber off that land. So how
do these soldiers think they can make
living doing it?''
And as for farming the land-that is
also regarded as pure moonshine by the
farmers.

cleared. In all the tract there isn't a
half acre of cleared land. And the
choice of crop presents another prob
lem. The money crop" in this part Of
the county is tobacco. Tobacco in the
field today will not be marketed until
next Summer. and that tobacco was
planted many months ago. The other
crops are corn, potatoes, beans and
tomatoes, and these are raised mostly
as garden truck for home consumption.
Little is marketed from this part of
the county.
The farmers. as a matter of fact, are
skeptical of the whole business, if not
antagonistic. Most of them are SYM
pathetically inclined toward the men
because of the plight that they seem to
be in, but few If any of them welcome
the B. Z. +. as a neighbor.
Still" said a farmer, IF the land is
their own, they have a right to do what
they want to. You can't interfere with
what a man does with his own land
They have right to it."
A more definite opinion, however. has
crystalized in the minds of such leading
citizens as w. w. Baldwin of Severn Gre IS
roads, who believes that Gov Ritchie'S
smooth" attitude toward the bonus
seekers cuSted from Washington may
would furnish them with the haven they
seek. Mr. Baldwin and others foresee
the problem that would come with the
marchers. and the difficulty OF finding
food for the men. They know there is
no chance that the bonus camp could
in any manner of speaking be self
supporting. and that the people OF the
county cannot support them.
Perhaps the ladies who were travelling
about the country last night in their
automobiles urging the neighbors to
attend a church musical voiced the
sentiments of the community when one

Workers of Whole World Must Rally Revolutionary
Against the Robber War in China
SEEK TO CRUSH
RESISTANCE OF
CHINESE MASSES
Kuomintang Traitors
Aiding Invaders of
China

The japanese militarists are threat
ening the revolutionary workers of
Shanghai, South China, with new
blood bath in an effort to violently
suppress the tremendous anti-Jap-
anese boycott movement in Shanghai
and other Chinese cities. The threat
was contained in a note handed yes
terday to Chinese mayor OF Shang-
hal by the Japanese Consul General
Mural.
This consul played a leading role
in the murderous bombardment OF
the densely populated proletarian
Chapel district of Shanghai last win
ter, at which time over 10000 unarnl-
ed women, children and men were
murdered by the japanese.
Demand Bloody Suppression
The Japanese demand the bloody
suppression of the boycott movement
and of all mass actions by the Chi
nese workers and peasants against
the Japanese invaders of China. They
demand that the Group for Exter-
mination of Traitors" active in the
boycott movement and other militant
organizations be broken up.
The Kuomintang mayor, WI Teh-
chen has promised the japanese mil
itarists to increase his attempts to
suppress the anti-Japanese boycott
movement. Suppression of the boy
colt movement was one of the pledges
made by the Marking government in
the infamous Surrender. Treaty" it
signed with the Japanese shortly
after the bombardment of Shanghai.
Thousands Drown
Thousands of Chinese peasants in
Shansi Province were drowned yes
terday and other thousands rendered
homeless when dykes, neglected by
the Marking rnilitarists, broke in sew
eral places deiuging the plains with
what is described as "the greatest
flood in fifty years" At Taiyuan,
the provincial capital, TOO houses in
the working class section collapsed
and 1000 more were partly sub
merged. In a nearby village the ac-
tors and audience at theatrical per-
Torrance in a Buddhist temple were
iwept away.
At the same time, cholera Is raging
in the province and throughout most
of Kuomintang China as a result OF
the terrible insanitary conditions un-
der which the toiling masses are
forced to exist. In 1850 towns in Shan
81 Province, 1880 deaths have been
reported within a few days.
Censor Red Army News
In the meantime, the Marking gov
eminent and its imperialist masters
have again clamped down the Gen.
sorship on the victorious advance Of
the Chinese Red Army in Kwang-
tung and Fukien Province and in HUI
peh Province where they secured q
smashing victory against the mair
Marking army in ten-day battle
over 200-mile front.

RENEW TORMENT
OF E. BERGMAN
Deportation Case In
Hands of Doak Again

The Daily Worker has received tbs
following wire from Edith Berkman,
leader Of the National Textile Work
ers Union VINO is being held for de-
portation in Rutland, Mass.
1.-THE ten day police surveillance
was changed today to personal sur
vaillance by immigration authorities.
Three inspectors visited me con-
stantly, guarding and tor1nenting me-,
I urge immediate protest against this
terorization."
RUTLAND, Mass, Aug. f9.-The
renewal of the terrorization Of Berk-
man is undoubtedly caused by the
fact that August 18th, marked the
expiration of the period to appeal the
case to higher courts. On the 18th
the case fell back into the hands Of
Doak, who can deport Edith to faS-
cist Poland at any moment. There
is only one force that can stay this
deportatioli-that is the organized
efforts of the International Labor
Defense, supported by the thousands
of workers and sympathizers thru
out the country who are interested
in saving Edith. Only this force
can secure for her voluntary depar-
ture to the Soviet Union, can demand
that her deportation be stayed pend-
ing her recovery from tuberculosis,
and that the police guard be removed
at once. <

Exceptional Courts
Do Not Try
Fascists
Gable BY Inprecorr)

BERLIN, Germany, Aug. 19.-The
Daily Tribuen, Communist paper at
Madgeburg, has just been suppressed
for three days.
The exceptional courts" formed by
the decision of the central govern
ment, and, according to the capitalist
press, to deal with fascist terror"
have not yet tried a single fascist.
But they have tried many left wing
ers in the labor movement.
The Breslau court has sentenced a
girl to fifteen months of hard labor
for allegedly kicking fascist. A
young worker received a years inn
prisonment. Two others got six
months each.
The wife of a member of the
Reichsbanner was sentenced to five
months, allegedly for Indictment to
violence, although non-fascist wit
nesses denied that she did SO.
Fascist testimony at Koenigsburg
has put several workers in Jail for
terms ranging from six months to Is
months.
A Hamburg court sentenced work
er to two years hard labor on a
charge of striking a policeman.
On the other hand, the fascist muir
derers who dragged the Communist
Pietczusch from bed and killed him
before his mothers eyes, have not yet
been tried, and the capitalist press
reports that the prosecution will de-
mand conviction for manslaughter
only, not for murder.

Mass pressure has compelled the
Preston officials to sanction the
strike in all mills where wage reduc-
lions are now in force or are
threatened, and $4,000 are now strik-
ing there.
There were further collisions be-
tween pickets and scabs wednesday
evening at Burnley, and the police
are likely to request the mill man
agement to close down the mills,
because they are unable to protect
the scabS.
Wednesday three Burnley strikers
were sentenced to month each in
connection with the struggle on the
picket line the day before.
The capitalist sress is alarmed, and
is changing its tone from threats
against the strikers to an attempt
to cajole them into accepting arbi-
tration.

Defense Requests.
After the prosecutor had repeated
almost without alterations all the
charges previously published, the
court offered ATTORNEY Chen the op-
portunity to speak for the defense.
Chen refused, stating that according
to the law, the accuse dmust speak
before their attorney. After a long
discussion with the defense attorney
over the legal points, the court ruled
that Chen must speak The attor-
ney stated that he would persist in
his refusal as long as the court de-

evidence favoring the accused, and
refused to summon independent ex-
perts for an examination of the hand

uments in evidence. He demanded
that the court summon the locksmith
who had been engaged by the pol
ice to force open the three steel
boes, declaring that the keys found
in the possession of the Rueggs did
not fit any of these boxes which the
prosecution claim to be the property
Of the accused. He demanded that
the case be adjourned until next
day for preparation of the defense

privilege of submitting a written
statement for the defense Thus the
court deprived the accused of the
right to see the documents in EVIL
dence, make statements and say the
last word, thus completely violating
all laws of criminal procedure. Even
the defense lawyer was thus unable
to speak for the defense.
A verdict will be announced in 2
day or two. 1t is clearly evident
that the verdict will be against the
accused. in line with the deliberate
frame-up and mGaufactured evidence
