CHICAGO, Ill, May % (By MaiD =.
Representing every industrial and
farm center in the United States,
1900 delegates, Negro and white today
met at the Peoples Auditorium on
the West Side of Chicago in the first
session of the largest Nominating
Convention ever held in the history
of the American Communist Party
to take up the struggle against IN
employment, hunger and war.
The keynote of the convention was
struck by Earl Browder, speaking for
the Central Committee of the Com
muniSt Party, who declared that I'VE
meet in the midst of the greatest
crisis ever known; the capitalist way
out of this crisis is billions for the
banks and corporations, hunger, star
walton, oppression and imperialiSt wal
for the workers and farmers"
Browder asked: will the Amer
lean workers submit to this without
a fight?" A thousand militant voices
in the convention hall roared. NO!
Fight Is On"
mo, they will not" Browder con-
tinued. This convention, represent
ing the most developed workers and
farmers from coast to coast, is itself
one Of the most important signs that
the workers will fight, that they are
already beginning to fight. There is
no way out Of the crisis for the work.

BERLIN, May 80. - The resigna-

came Immediately after the Supreme
Court at Leipzig decided that the
m,iterial seized In raids on the head
quarters of the National Socialists

extremely tense situation.
Hindenburg, elected by the So
cialistS as a bulwark against Hit

der to pave the way for an open
fascist government. He intends to
form a Cabinet of national con-
centration" with all reactionary
fascist elements.
Obviously the Kaiser's former Field
Marshal prepared the coup and the
formation of new government dur
ing the recent holiday with nation

bourgeoisie intends to create an oper

MOSCOW, May 30.-In con-
nection with the recently in
tensified anti-Soviet campaign
in imperialist circles, the Jap
anese militarists and press are
conducting the most open
propaganda in preparation for
armed Intervention against the
Soviet Union.
So manifest is the japanese
drive for war against the Sov-
let Union that "Izvestia" and
"Pravda" are devoting a num-
Der of articles exposing the
tendencies of the Japanese
military and their open at
tempts to seize the Chinese
Eastern Railway.
Quoting number of extracts from
articles by Japanese military men
and journalists, "Izvestia" particu-
larly dwelIs on an article by Hirota
Hiromori which appeared in the
Japanese press under the caption
FINAL AIM OUR ACTIONS" The
author bases his views on the pre-
requisite of the danger of joint war
actions by the United States and
the U. S. S. r. He pictures the
actions of the japanese army in
Northern Manchuria and the Japan
csc fleet at Shanghai as a prelinni-
nary action for war against the Sow
let Union and the United States
"Izvestia" quotes the following ex-
tract from this meaningful article:
Before when war was presumed
it was impossible to think that the
first stage of the military opera
tions would be the occupation of
Tsitsihar or Hardin. The present
situation is such as if this first
stage would have passed already"
Quoting this passage, "Izvestia'
says:
"Under cover Of the mask of
strategic discussions regarding
preparations for defense in case of
attack by the U. S. S. r., Hiroto
Hiromori informs Japan that the
first stage of the preparation for
war against the u. S. S. X. has
been completed. He reports the
same ON the preparations for war
with America.
He relates that during the Jap
anese operations near Usun dur
ing the week from the last days
of January to first days of Febru-
airy the uneasiness evident in the
operative department of the Am
erican fleet was undoubtedly I'M
usual. Meanwhile the Japanese
fleet headed by Admiral Prince
Fusino, chief of the operative de-
partment, was ready according to
its sentiments to fight and kept
in full readiness while the entire
army maintained formal silence.
The Japanese fleet, he says,
shows determination to destroy
any enemy which will break in the
Western part of the Pacific. The
japanese army and navy, he says,
