Grove, Chile Head,
Threatens Workers
Davila Forced Out; His
Dennagogy Didn't
Work

Col. Grove who now heads the mil
itary clique in Chile has issued a
statement aimed at further deceiving
the Chilean masses, declared that
Davila was forced out because he was
not radical enough. Col. Grove as
Minister of Defense two days ago
threatened a blood bath against the
revolutionary Chilean workers and
peasants who, under the leadership
of the Chilean Communist Party, are
carrying on struggle against the
sham promises Of the nlilitarist-fas-
cist dictatorship and for real work
ers and peasants government.
Carlos Davila, Chilean demagog
and former ambassador to the United
States, was forced out yesterday as
head of the militarist-fa dictator
ship set up in Chile a week ago.
Davila's resignation is reported to
have followed a sharp disagreement
in the military clique on the pro
posap' to confiscate the Wall Street
controlled CoSash nitrate combine
and other loot of foreign capitalists
in Chile. Davila had made demagogic
promises that these concerns would
be seized, and that industry and agri-
culture would be soeiaized and I'M
employment abolished within 30
days" The promises have remained
on paper. The military clique ze-
gan to repudiate them one after the
other.
1t appears that the real motive for
the dropping of Davila is the fact
that his shameless demagogy had de-
feated its purpose, that the impov-
erished Chilean workers and ruined
peaSantry had seized upon Davila's
sham promises to raise their own
revolutionary demands for the con-
fiscation Of the means of production,
for the seizure of the banks, etc.
AS an additional step in the at
tempt to deceive the masses, the die
tatorship is talking of proposing a
renegade from Communism, Senator
Manuel Hidalgo, to succeed Davila.
Hidalgo was expelled some time ago
from the Chilean Communist Party.
During the Communicated revolt in
the Chilean Navy, he engaged in the
most shameless betrayal of the revo-
lutionary sailors,

scheduled for deportation to Can

War Council Revival
Asked by Ex-Member

WASHINGTON, June II. - A sug-
gestion that President Hoover, who
found inadvisable TO revive at the
present time the war time Council
of National Defense, restore the
State Council Organization to get
the country out of the depression" i,
was contained in a letter sent TO the
Chief Executive by Edward E. Cof-
fine, of Detroit. himself member
of the former war council.
President Hoover rejected the pro-
posal to revive the Council of Ma
tional Defense on the ground that
such body would be of an absolutely
war character. Actually, the great
engineer" thought that for the time
being his cabinet is able to ruthlessly
Cypress and prosecute the workers,
without a new apparatus.

ed only through militant struggle"
The Communist Party lays the ut=
most stress upon its demands for the
Negroes. 1t demands full economic
and social equality for them; it fights
to eliminate the entire system of dis
elimination which the Negroes are
subjected to in industry, in distribu-
ton of unemployment relief, in seq
regated dwelling districts. in trade
unions in the courts, in political ac-
tivities; it demands death for lynch-
ers, and it fights for the right OF
