IlellVS Iue SoVleU government regu-
larly meets all its obligations.
Despite the utmost official secrecy
it was learned here that similar
note is expected from the French
government and that governmental
circles fear united front of the
European debtors on this issue.
Although it is stated that the note
delivered by Ambassador Lindsay,
declares that the British Government
does not intend to default on the
next installment of the war debt, it
is indicated that such default may
ensue technically" from the refusal
of the United States government to
act upon the note.
Governments Default.
Secretary Mills, of the Treasury De-
partment, informed that the Greek
government failed to pay $444, 800 re-
presenting the current installment on
its debt and that the Hungarian
government officially notified the Sec
rotary of state that it does not have
the necessary foreign exchange with
which to make its payment to the
United States government on Deem
Der 18th.
The Polish, Estonian and Latyian
governments already availed them
selves of their option, under the
terms Of the moratorium which ex-
pired last July, to postpone payment
of the principal amount of the war
debt for two years. Many Baltic
governments virtually defaulted on
their payments or are about to do so.
SoYiets Meet All Debts.
At the same time the Soviet gov
eminent already sent here between
$4,000000 and $50o0,00o as a final
payment on its 1929 order of farm
equipment and part-payment on its
1880 order of tractors. A balance of
about $2,500,000 is due to the Inter
national Harvester of Chicago in the
autumn Of 1888.

Commenting upon the war deSt
problem officially brought to the fore
by the note of the British govern
ment, Senator Borah stated that he
favors a new settlement provided the
European governments "disarm". He

MASS ACTION WINS IN ENGLAND

AS a result Of huge mass demon
STATIONS, the unemployed OF South
ampton and Edinburgh won signifi-
cant victories. In Southampton the
delegation to the Lord Mayor was
backed by demonstration 5000
strong. The mayor asked the delega-
ton to postpone the decision to a
later date, but they replied: 1.-THE de-
cisive fact to be faced by the City
Council is that 5000 demonstrators
are in front of the City Hall. We
. believe that all other matters must
E&e tabled to discuss our demands"
i This forced the Council to vote a
supplementary relief Of 2la shillings
weekly during the winter months as
well as to order the starting of new
emergency public works.
A great demonstration in Edin-
'slrgh forced the Welfare Council
=. raise the relief rate 1la shillings

These examples effectively dispose
of the Socialist lie that nothing is
gained by demonstrations. Only
through mass pressure can city gov
ernments be forced to provide ade-
quate relief for the unemployed!

hunger delegation to Washington on
Thanksgiving Day, November oath,
are being feverishly rushed up.
The childrens delegation will
storm the Capitol at Washington

While misery is increasing in the
richest country of the world" and
hundreds of thousands of children
suffer hunger which unmercilessly
undermines their health, it may be
recalled that in the opinion of a
group of physicians who visited var
ious countries abroad the best nour-

Tax Reduction for Home Workers in

MOSCOW.-The PresidiuIn Of the
Central Executive Committee of the
Soviet Union has decided to reduce
the taxes paid by home workers and
hand-workers or artisans.
Those home and hand workers or
ganized in cartels are to be treated
with regard to taxation exactly as

Reductions have also been decided
upon for those home and hand work
ers who employ no wage labor.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-A worker

Jail for helping to stop an eviction.
In Jail they serve two meals a
day on dirty dishes. Prisoners have
to spend their first few nights on
the concrete floors without blankets
and DRINKS are dragged in there who
vornit all over the floor. They have
a bath room but they have locked
1t and thrown the key away so no
body can use it.
If a prisoner demands a bath a
guard will come by and throw a
cup Of water in his face, and then
ask him if he likes the "tea-cup"

INSURGENTS IN
new VICTORIES
Japan Aims Blow at
North China

A Japanese detachment was wiped
out yesterday north Of Tsitsihar,
North Manehuria, by insurgent forces
which have been battling the Japa-
nese invaders for several weeks in
a concentrated drive to effect the
capture Of the strategic city of Tsit-
sihar.
For several days sharp fighting
has been going ON along the west
ern arm of the Chinese Eastern
Railway. Japanese-le Manchou-
kuo" troops have suffered many
serious reVerscs and many Of the
''Manchoukuo" troops, trained and
armed by the japanese, have gone
over to the anti-Japanese national
revolutionary struggle. In the Kes-
chan district the insurgents have
captured the local Japanese mill
tary adviser" to the puppet Manchou-
kuo state.
Not content with the seizure OF
Manchuria and the waging of a wal
of determination against the Man
churian masses, japanese imperial
ism is rapidly perfecting its plans
for the military penetration Of
North China.
The Chinese newspapers report
that the Nanking regime is very
anxious to avoid military collisions
in the province Of Shantung, as this
would bring it into conflict with the
aims of Japanese Imperialism anc
would interfere with its present cam
paign against the Chinese Soviet
Republic in Central China.

EXPOSE DEMOCRATS

PHOENIX, Ariz.-Several hundred

the democrats already in possession
of the meeting. When James Carr,
one OF the workers, began to ask
questions, exposing conditions in the
mines, the capitalist politicians be-
came enraged and left, followed by
jeers of the workers. The meeting
was then addressed by candidates
of the Communist Party. The Com

claimed by the crowd.
