The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-04-06

den, the Communist Party issued Manifesto to
'The workers, peasants and solders!" in which
it stated: 1.-THE bourgeoise and the landowners
have already robbed you of work, bread, land
and freedom. The war serves their interests 1t
will increase your sllfferings still further and
bring you utter ruin" The manifesto called for
the fight: For the immediate withdrawal of the
troops from Mukden and all occupied districts,
do not transport single soldier Resist all war
like actions Of Japanese imperialism, enter into
an alliance with the Chinese workers and pea
SAINTS. Organize strikes and mass demonstrations
against the war and for your demands" The
Party declared that "the fight for peace with
out revolutionary fight at the same time for
peace without revolutionary fight at the same
time is an empty, lying phrase" Its slogan is:
down with imperialist Japan, for Soviet
Japan!"
The fact that the number Of strike struggles
and peasant outbreaks in Japan have increased
and continue to increase in the period of the
war is OF very great Importance, The anti-war
and anti-government character of the fight of
the workers and peasants is expressed particularly
clearly In the fact that nearly all the strikes
and peasant outbreaks are accompanied by fierce
street collisions the workers have the sympathy
OF the neighboring inhabitants and are directly
supported by the latter. In the rural districts,
the peasants render aid by supplying food.
The bourgeois and the social democratic press
maintain complete silence regarding the direct
actions against the war. It was obviously only
due to an oversight that bourgeois newspaper
published report Of a strike at an aircraft
factory which is engaged on war work. If, how
ever, we take glance at the five numbers of the
Illegal newspaper "Musani" Simbun" which has
come into our hands. we find in every number
OF anti-war actions in various parts Of the
country. The issue Of october 10 gives reports Of
number OF demonstrations against the war,
which took place on october 7th:
'The demonstrations took place nc the fol-
lowing places: at building works and at the
Labor Exchange, at the pump factory etc.

nicsi factory and elsewhere; slogans against the

port the unemployed instead Of spending money

The issue Of November is published a report,
