China Militarists i'm
Move to Aid Attack by
Japan ON North China

A Wide-open split among the Kuo-
mintang militarists threatened yes
terday. increasing the probability of
new civil war between the militar-
list groups under the influence of the
various brigand imperialist powers.
The split developed sharply with
the protest by 81 northern Chinese
generals against the Marking propo-
sal for a military commission to have
control of the Kuomintang forces in
North China in place of Marshall
Chang Hsiao-liang. The northern
militarists protested against the Ere
movap' of Chang, although under the
Marking plan it was quite evident
that the commission was to be dom
mated jointly by Chang and the
Marking dictator Chang Kai-shek.
Among the signers of the protest
are several commanders connected
with Gen. Feng Yu-hsiang, who has
sold out to the Japanese. Other sign
ers include a number Of notorious
tools of British imperialism. The
movement is clearly indicated by the
British and Japanese imperialists as
part of their fight against their
American rivals.

Loss-sHARrNG PLAN

CINCINNATI, GA letter recent
ly issued to the workers of the Put
nam Candy Co., Cincinnati, is an
excellent example of the demagogy
used by the bosses to lower the work
ers' wages. 1t also shows how low
the bosses will stoop for the sake
of business.
The letter announces that the
workers will get cut of 10 per cent,
end the workers are made to believe
that the bosses are sharing this cut
With them, that they have much in
common.
"In the final analysis you are our
partners. If we cannot continue in
business profitably, you will have no
positions -. 1t therefore becomes
clearly necessary that you work with
us to eliminate loss and increase
profits, so that further reductions in
salary may not become necessary"
The letter also calls on the workers
to Use high-powered salesmanship,
not to have a customer leave who
made small purchase; not to use
"a clean towel on the slightest occa-
sion," not to throw away food which
could often be used Then the work
ers are told at the end of the let
ter, "Close attention to the losses
mentioned above will result in our
Profits, so that wages and salaries
will not have to suffer further"

Police Stop Speech By
Mrs. Wright
BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL

BERLIN, Germany, (by malD.-
Police repression against the Inter
national Red Aid was intensified with
the breaking up of the Functionaries
Meeting in Berlin at which the
Scottsboro Negro mother, Mrs. Ada
Wright, was to have been one of the
speakers.
This is the second time the Scots
boro mother was prevented from
speaking to the workers of Berlin, her
first meeting being broken up in
May by orders of the social-democrats
who were at that time in control OF
the police, preparing the war for
fascism. At that time it developed
that the attack on the Scottsboro
meeting was undertaken by the then
social-democratic police chief at the
instance of the Wall Street Govern
ment which has persistenly sought to
disrupt the Scottsboro defense cam
paign in Europe.
There are 1000 functionaries in the
Greater Berlin organization of the
Red Aid with its $4,000 members.
The meeting was planned to consider
the results of the recent Reichstag
elections and the future tasks, the
September october campaign for the
National and World Congresses of
Red Aid, with which is closely bound
up and the campaigns for the lib
Grafton of the Scottsboro Negro boys
and freedom for Mooney and Bill

dispatch to the New York Times:
A new war chemical factory has
been opened near Tokyo. Over
500 automobiles have been pur-
chased for the Japanese army.
AirpIane construction is being
speeded-up. Fascist and nliIitarist
organizations are collecting sub
scriptions for the building Of
planes, tanks and ar1nored cars.
Heavy reserves Of wool and cot
ton are being accumulated for use
in the manufacture Of munitions.
Imports CT oil, glycarine, iron ore,
steel bridge material for bridging
rivers in military campaigns to ia
ciiitate the advance of troops) are
reported much heavier than usual.
In addition, the fascist government
will ask the Diet next week for new
war appropriation of 100000 yen
($8,994,700), under the pretext of
providing employment-in the army
and navy! The starving japanese
workers and ruined peasants are to
be offered employment as cannon
fodder in the robber war against
China, in the war of intervention
against the Soviet Unionl
japanese troops are already mo-
bilized in large numbers on the Dor
ders of Soviet Mongolia in prepara-
ton for an attack on the Peoples
and the emancipated
masses. Several japan
ese armies are operating in Man
churia on the Soviet border.
Japanese bombing planes yesterday
bombarded several Manchurian
towns in the area from which the
Japanese have been driven by the
partisan troops. The par
tisans blocked a train fifty miles
from Kirin, capturing twenty passen-
gers, among them three high Jap
anese officials. and carried out a dar-
ing raid on Chinchow.
The Japanese puppet Manchoukuo
government in Manchuria yesterday
demanded that the Sow
let Union withdraw its defense troops
from Soviet soil near the Soviet
border. The demand
was handed to the Soviet Consul
in Hardin. The puppet state
naturally had no protest against the
huge concentration of japanese
troops along the border.
The Soviet Union, in pursuance of
its firm peace policy. is refusing to
be provoked by these latest war-in-
citing acts of the japanese militarists
and their Manchukuo puppets.

Shiny Character of Cop
Witnesses

SHANGHAI, Aug. 18-All the So
called discriminating material" used
in the farcical trial of Paul and

court was furnished the Kuomintane
judges by three Shanghai foreign
police officials controlled by British
imperialism. e. The three are Givens
Moore and Colder. The whole accu.
sation against the Rueggs stands Oh

Character of Three Gentlemen
An investigation of the persona

shows that their past achievements
are in no wise inferior to the false
evidence with which they have nov
supplied the Kuomintang courts as g

quently involved Assistant Commits
sioner Givens. Everybody also knows
how he browns his depression over
losses in drinking bouts of such a
nature as to be startling even tc
British colonial officials. 1t is an
open secret that he is always living
beyond his means and must look for
special pay jobs to keep creditors
busy.
His achievements at the Ruegg
trial shows how he derives financial
gains with the most shameless in
ventions when he can find no gen.
uine material with which to earn
his pay.
Detective-Sergeant Colder is a
simpler type of scoundrel. He adopts
direct methods, for instance wher
the Rueggs safe was broken open he
allowed 5000 in United States cur
rency to vanish and then referred tc
1t in court as the mysterious disap-
pearance" of objects seized in the
search of the Ruegg rooms. One OF
the rewards for their share in the
Ruegg frame-up is highly priced BY
British colonial subordinate officials
namely a free voyage to England or
luxurious steamship.
The third of these three scoundrels
Moore, thinks his high position eli

low tricks of the two others, but new.

fits. He also benefits by his luc.

Such is the character of the PEG
pie who are pushing the frame-ul
and railroading to death of Paul ant
Gertrude Ruegg, and who are actinl
both as prosecutors of the accusec
and as crown witnesses.

violent physical attacks on workers

breaking in the coal fields.
Cox program has a lot of the "lib-

European fascist parties use in their
early stages. He calls for "the right
to picket" for payment of the boz

ment insurance. But all these are
vague slogans, lacking in any concrete

Cox, with his usual conscious DEM
agogy, had declared that "a million"
delegates would come to his "Jobless

for president of the United States.
Later declarations set the number at
$4,000. Actually, he's brought 500,
practically all from Pittsburgh.

nominated by, the Liberty Party"
whose members are mostly in the
western part of the country. Nego-

or the other to step aside.
Leaders SquabbIe
The two groups are near together
at Creve Occur Lake and the race
course. A meeting Of Harry and Cox
took place here in which Harry stated
to Cox: 81 am disguised with the
conference and with your coming here
with a handful of men and asking
me to let you run"
Cox answered with still more fig
ures, saying he had proxies Of 20o,-
900 voters" and " will vote them for
myself" Harry was unimpressed,
and the decision seems to be post
poned.
Religious Issue
Both sides, for further confusing
of the workers, are introducing the
religious issue, Harry arguing that
his protestant followers will not vote
for catholic priest, and Cox using
his priestly authority to the limit.
Meanwhile the militant jobleSs
workers of st. Louis, who on July IL
made such demonstration that they
forced concession from the author
tiles, continue to build their Unem-
ployed Councils. They refuse to be
swayed by the fascist leaders in con-
vention at Creve Occur Lake on the
