This open admission of the pur-
pose of the bosses sports must be
seriously considered by the work
ing class. We fully realize the i'm
portance of building the L. S. q. to
counterfeit bosses sports. The
bosses realize the Importance of the
Olympics so much that according
to figures given to the press, as to
the cost of the Olympics, that the
preparations for the Olympics alone
will cost $6,041 900. This, of course,
does not include travelling expenses,
etc. This is just organizational
expenses for the Olympics. And
the bosses are doing their damnest
to bring sportsmen from all over
the world and to mobilize the
masses to watch the developments
OF the sports in Los Angeles and
bring as many as they only can
to the Olympics proper. They esti-
mate that 10000 people will attend
the Olympics.
The Workers Sports Meet.
And now as to our Counter
Olympics. The preparations for
our Sports Meet were not broad
enough. They did not involve the
masses. However, in spite of the
many shortcomings, and weak
nesses, large number of workers

Stem Growing Revolutionary Movement

Congress of the second group was
held successfully from December LIST
to 9th.
Under the leadership of the Japa-
nese Section of the League Against
Imperialism and of the Communist
Party of Japan, anti-war demon
strations were held and anti-war
leaflets were distributed in the fac
tory districts of Tokyo, Osaka and
other cities and even villages. A
demonstration against war was
staged by 100 students of the I'M
perial University, 25 of whom were
arrested. Strikes broke out in
factories where war materials are
manufactured. Agitation against
war was even carried into military
barracks, as a result of which 500
soldiers of the Shanghai Expedi-
tionary Force refused to fight and
200 others revolted in Manchuria.

supporting this bloody slaughter
of the Japanese workers by the
Japanese ruling class.
Task of u. s. Workers
To stop the Japanese war in
Manchuria and to prevent this
from developing into war on the
Soviet Union, we, American toilers,
should organize to support the re-
volutionary workers, peasants and
students of Japan in their struggle
against the war carried on by their
imperialist government. Mass
meetings should be held through
out the United States to popularize
the struggle of the Japanese masses
among the workers of this coun-
try.
Revolutionary greetings should be
sent to the Japanese masses pledg-
ing our support to their struggle
against Imperialism.
The American should realize that
the defense of these heroic jap
anese comrades is an inseparable
part of our work in fighting against
hunger and war, in fighting for
the defense of the Chinese people
and of the Soviet Union.

MILITARY MEASURES

Secret Correspondence Between Sir
Edward Grey and the French
Ambassador in London,
M. Paul Cambon
Sir Edward Grey to M Cambon,
French ambassador in London.
Foreign Office,
November %, 1912.
My dear Ambassador:
From time to time in recent years
the French and British naval and
military experts have consulted to-
gether. 1t has always been under
stood that such consultation does
not restrict the freedom of either
government to decide at any fu-
ture time whether or not to assist
the other by armed force We have
agreed that consultation between
experts is not, and ought not to be
regarded as, an engagement that
commits either Government to &C
ton in a contingency that has not
arisen and may never arise. The
disposition, for instance, of the
French and British fleets respec-
lively at the present moment is
not based upon an engagement to
cooperate in war.
You have, however, pointed out
that if either Government had
grave reason to expect an unpro-
voked attack by third Power, it
might become essential to know
whether it could in that event de-
pend upon the armed assistance of
the other.
I agree that, if either Govern
ment had grave reason to expect
an unprovoked attack by third
Power, or something that threat
ened general peace, it should imne-
diately discuss with the other
whether both Governments should
act together to prevent aggression
and to preserve peace, and if so,
what measures they would be pre-
pared to take in common. If these
measures involved action, the plans
of the General Stats would at once
be taken into consideration, and
the Governments would then decide
what effect should be given to
them.
Yours, ETC.,
E. GREY.

Dear Sir Edward,
You reminded me in your lettee
of yesterday, 22d November, that
during the last few years the mill.
tary and naval authorities Of
France and Great Britain have
consulted with each other from
time to time; that it had always
been understood that these con.
situations should not restrict the
liberty of either Government to de-
eide in future whether they should
lend each other the support OF
their armed forces; that, on either
side, these consultations between
experts were not and should not DO
considered as engagements bind
ing our Governments to take action
in certain eventualities; that,
however, I had remarked to you
that, if one or other of the two
Governments had grave reasons to
fear an unprovoked attack on the
part of third Power, it would
become essential to know whether it
could count on the armed support
of the other.
Your letter answers that point,
and I am authorized to state that,
in the event of one of our two
Governments having grave reasons
to fear either an act of aggression
from a third Power, or some event
threatening the general peace, that
Government would Immediately ex-
anime with the other the question
whether both Governments should
act together in order to prevent the
act of aggression or preserve peace.
If SO, the two Governments would
deliberate as to the measures which
they would be prepared to take in
common; if those measures in
volved action, the two Governments
would take into immediate consid-
Grafton the plans of their general
staffs and would then decide as to
the effect to be given to those
plans.
Yours, ETC.,

obligation arising owing to an as

IN an attempt to save itself from
the economic crisis, which hits
Japan with the same mercilessness
as it does the rest of the capitalist
world, japanese imperialism has
launched a robber war against the
Chinese people in Manchuria and
Shanghai.
Background of Invasion
Half a century ago, threatened
by the possible colonization of the
island empire by White Imperial
ism, the Japanese feudal warlords
started to "modernize" the country
and followed the Western powers
in industrialization and militariza-
ton. Owing to the total absence
of raw materials in the islands, the
ruling class of Japan made the
most strenuous efforts to maintain
a big navy and strong military
force to make possible the securing
of raw materials from backward"
countries and to complete success
fully with other imperialist powers
in the sale of their manufactured
products.
This resulted in the extreme
concentration of capital (seven
concerns dominate almost all in
dustry, trade, traffic and banking
in Japan and the most brutal
form of exploitation of the work.
ing class. Meanwhile the possess
sion of land in the hands of few
landowners and the remnant
feudalistic condition still existing
in the village drive the japanese
peasants into greater misery. The
economic crisis has thrown two
million workers out of employment.
Dissatisfaction am ong workers
grows and the revolutionary wave
rises throughout the country.
Sought Capitalist Way Out
Through the military occupation
of Manchuria and the bombing of
Shanghai, the capitalists of Japan
sought a capitalist way out of the
crisis. To quench the revolution
airy flames of the proletariat and
poor farmers, they appealed for
patriotic support of the war adj
venture. But this time the Jap
anese militarists made a serious
mistake.
t Instead of an outbrrst of pa
triotic" feeling in the country, the
workers, peasants; students and in
telligentsia of Japan, under the
leadership of the Japanese Section
of League Against Imperialism and
the Communist Party of Japan,
have from the very beginning
fought against the robber in China
and for the defense of the Chinese
revolution and of the Soviet Union.

HEARINGS ON | BEER BILL TO START DEC. ! Proposals to Legalize Rev.

PROBLEM IS DIVIDED
 INTO THREE SECTIONS
Chairman Collier Make s Statement -Gangland
 Threat Is Seen

WASHINGTON, Nov. c5.-Mov- ing swiftly after informal confer ences with Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt, President Elect, House Demo- cratic leaders announced last We'd nesday night that hearings on the proposals to legalize beer will start December T. It was first intended to open the hearings December 6 but the Ways and Means Commit tee decided to allow an additional day for formalities at the opening of the short session.
 Chairman Collier, of the Ways and Means Committee, said the beer legislation problem is divided into three parts: First. declaration of the alcoholic contents. Second determining the proper tax; and Third, methods of distribution. Over all hangs the shadow of gangland which some feared ulti- mately would deprive the Govern ment of beer revenue.
 WAHINGTON, Nov. 25. The wine bloc is prepared to demand that the beer advocates include ,legalization of light wines in the legislation modifying the volstead Act. The bloc is now forming in Congress, Representative Willis c. Hawley, Republican of Oregon, re- vealing a new angle to the bsver- age legalization issue.
 House members of the wine grow ing and consuming States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Michigan, Missouri and Cali fprnia will probably compose the bloc.
 At the beer hearings to start on December T, some members of Congress are prepared to ask that beer be distributed in bottles and barrels.
