10000 KILLED in
UNDECLARED WAR
Argentine and Brazil
Moving to Extend
Conflict

BUENOS AIRES, Dec 14.-U. S.
cattlemen arriving here from the
Gran Chaco region report casualties
appallingly high in the undeclared
war raging between Bolivia and Par
aguay. At least 10000 men have been
killed during the past seven months
Of the conflict, according to admis-
sions from both Paraguayan and Bo-
livian sources. The Paraguayan loss
eS are reported at $4,000, with those
Of Bolivia at 10000
All available buildings in Para
quay have been turned into hos
pitfalls filled with badly wounded
soldiers. Mass hostility against the
war adventure is reported growing
in both countries.
The Bolivian forces who have been
on the defensive during the past seven
months have been enabled to take
the offensive within the past week as
a result of vast supplies of munitions
and tanks received from the United
States. Yesterday in a fierce six
hour battle they recaptured the key
fort of Plantanillos from the Para
guayans. The recapture of Pantan-
illos is believed to be the beginning
Of a general Bolivian offensive under
the direction of Gen. Hans Kundt,
German officer. 1t is generally in
terpreted as turning point in the
war which previously has been going
against Paraguay.
The war now threatens to in
clude at least two other South Am
erican states. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that the British-dom-
mated Argentine Government will
not stand by and permit the defeat
of Paraguay. Argentina already
has strong forces on the border.
Should Argentina enter the war to
aid Paraguay, it is expected that the
present provisional government of
Brazil, under U. S. infILo-co, will
go to the aid of Bolivia.
Brazil is already moving to enter
the undeclared war. between Peru and
Colombia, on the side of the Co.
lombian puppets of U. S. imperialism.
Brazilian WarshlpS and troops ar
rived yesterday at the Peruvian from
tier. The Brazilian Army has begun
installation of cannonS at the border
fort of Tavatinga. The government
is also mounting guns on all ships
on the upper Amazon. The govern
ment of Ecuador has also modified
troops on the Peruvian border. The
Chilean government is maneuvering
to enter the war on the side of Co.
lombia.
Both Colombia and Peru are con-
tinuing to rush troops to the Putu-
mayo region. Many sharp clashes
have occurred during the past weeks.
Peruvian gunboatS are reported en-
gagged in the transportation of troops
on the upper Amazon.

Hunger March
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

steps that the demands presented to
the United States Congress come to
an open hearing.
VII. Participants In Hunger March.
The 5000 Hunger Marchers were
authorized by the conference to be
active organizers of the Unemployed
Councils in their city.
The local and district unemployed
councils must not fail Immediately to
call the marchers together to give
them an analysis of the march and
to assign them definitely to work.
The district must see to it that
these comrades are released from
every other task, so that they can
become organizers of the unemployed
movement.
The local and district unemployed
councils are to work out system of
maintaining these comrades through
collections, meetings, affairs, etc.
The National Office is to remain
in regular contact with the 5000
marchers to stimulate them and re-
ceiye reports of their activities.
VIII. Registration.
During the local struggles and in
the mobilization for them there must
be carried on the widest campaign
to register supporters for the I'm
employed Council through the cards
now being issued by the National
Committee and of which each local
council should have an adequate
supply. They can be ordered at the
rate of 81. per hundred (cash in adj
vance, from Room 436, 80 E. 18th
St., New York City.
State Hunger Marches are under
way in California on Jan. 10, in the
state of Washington on Jan. 9. these
to be preceded by county marches.
Local marches are being organized
in the various industrial towns of
Massachusetts and New Jersey.
No district or city should fail now
to organize the broadcast struggle
possible on the basis of activities in
the neighborhoods, against evictions,
for relief, free food for the children,
and in the process we must build I'D
block and neighborhood committees
and unemployed councils, especially
in the small towns that were pene-
trated in the preparations for the
Washington National Hunger March,
or through which the column passed.
Local struggles must reach the work
ers organized into other unemployed
in the unions both of
the t. U. U. l.. and A. F. of l.. and
farternal organizations to bring them
into struggle. This alone will be the
guarantee not only of obtaining local
relief but will exert sufficient pressure
to force the U. s.. Congress to pass
the bill for cash winter relief and
insurance.

Wage-Crt Wakes Up
Backward Worker: He
Joins the Left Wing

NEW YORK This is how Al the
Mailer turned to be a Red.
It's the second year that Al and
7 work in the same fur shop. There
is a big change in him since a year
ago.
He is a young man and supports
his old father and mother. His am
bition was to become rich some day.
He read the "Daily News and was
mainly interested in ball games,
horse races and all the other attrac-
lions of that sheet.
AL discussed with the left wingers
his ideas of going into business and
becoming %big" as this is a free coun-
try. All YOU got to have is ambi-
ton and Al had a lot of it. The left
wing workers told him that he may
expect a wage-cut or be out Of a
lob as soon as the season is over. He
LAUGHED.
There were often discussions IN
the shop where the boss would also
take part. Al ALWAYS aided with the
boss when he attacked the left wing
union or Soviet Russia, as AIS am
bition was to become a boss him
self
But the season in the fur trade
does not last very long and the slow
season was approaching When a
age-cut was given TO all the work
ers in the shop, including Al, he gave
up the idea of going into business
as he was still in debt from the
previous slow period He began to
realize that his ambition to become
rich was nice fantasy. He no
longer agreed with the boss in the
discussion. He understood that his
interests were different from the
boss; he had to join the union to
help fight against the wage cut Oh
being fired.
The boss made more profits after
this year. He fixed up nice home
for himself and bought car. AL
knew that he did not derive his pro-
fits from his own labor. At the adj
vice of "a shop mate, Al began to
read the "Daily Worker" He found
answers on many questions that were
puzzling him. He went TO the Work
ers Book Shop and purchased many
pamphlets on various subjects. He
attended meetings called by the
Communist Party. He became class
conscious worker. He argues differ
emily now than he did year ago.
He is agitating for the left wingers,
he gives away the DAILY Worker"
when he is through reading 1t.
Al brought a friend to the last
Madison Square Garden Rally with
whom he wants to share his new
ideas. He bought lot of literature
that was sold in the Garden. He
gave it to his friend as he had read
1t already. The other workers in the
shop welcome the change in Al and
see in him a future fighter for his
class.

Agreement Already Broken.
The tactics of the railway union
leaders play directly into the hands
of the companies The companies
have already broken their formal
agreement by opening their propa-
ganda war upon the rail workers
Only leaders committed to a nom
strike policy and therefore to sur
render of the interests of the rank
vand file could continue to act on the
assumption that anything like an
Increment still exists with the rail-
roads.
Policy Determined.
1t is clear that the companies and
their Wall Street owners are deter
mined to put over a further wage cut
and drastic revision of favorable
working rules. They are depending
upon the union bureaucrats to keep
the rank and file quiescent-to pre-
vent strikes.
Unity of Purpose.
on this question there is COM
plete unity between the union and
company officials. Both realize that
strike movement on the railroads
might easily be the forerunner of
nation wide mass struggles against
the wage cutting and speedup drive
in the principal industries They
realize the revolutionary possibilities
of such struggle.
But the railway companies are de-
terinined to increase profits and pro-
tect the Wall Street bondholders at
the expense of the wages and work.
ing conditions of the rail workers.
They have put il up TO the railway
union officials to prevent strikes. 1t
is risky maneuver to attempt but
the deepening crisis inlpels them to
try it.
This is the inner content Of the
"quibbling" in Chicago. Behind it
all is the fear Of rank and file mass
revolt.

c. S. INDICTMENT
AGAINST WORKER
Los Angeles DAILY
Agent Jailed

LOS ANGELES, Dec. i4.--Peter
Pan, Los Angeles Daily Worker agent,
has been indicted by the county
grand jury for criminal syndicaIism
on two counts: Membership in the
Party and the sale Of seditious lit
eratre. Bail was raised from 81 900
to $4,000 and Pan was remanded TO
Jail The arraignment is to take
place Thursday afternoon.
The indictment follows a raid on
the Daily Worker office last We'd
nesday. The notorious Hines, head
Of the Red Squad, bought some lit
erature in the office with marked
bills, after which he arrested Pan.
The arrest and Indictment are an at
tempt to set legal precedent for
criminal syndicaISm convictions pre-
paratory TO the wholesale arrests Of
militant workers and a drive to force
the Communist Party and all revolu-
tionary organizations underground.
Workers and militant organizations
throughout the country are urged to
support the efforts of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense TO quash the in
dictment and force Pans release.

JAPAN CALLS FOR
ANT-USSR MOVE
Howls Against China
Soviet Accord

The signal triumph of Soviet dip
lomacy in effecting resumption OF
normal diplomatic relations between
China and the Soviet Union has been
met with wild howls Of rage and re-
neWed war threats in Japanese i'm
perialist circles. The accord is hailed
by the revolutionary japanese toll
ing masses, who are planning cele-
brations despite the increasing white
terror.
Japan Bosses Incite War.
The cue for a new campaign OF
vicious war propaganda against the
u. S, S. R. was given the japanese
press yesterday by the Foreign Of
fee. The official spokesman OF the
Foreign Office declared that Japan
would oppose the resumption of dip
Iomatic relations between China and
the U. S. S. r. Ee attempted to
rally world Imperialism for imme-
diate armed intervention against the
Soviet Union broadly limiting that
the accord will have the effect Of en-
couraging Chinese resistance to the
schemes of the imperialist bandits
for the looting and partition Of
China.
U.S.S.R. Peace Policy.
In signing the new accord with
China Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet For
eign Conmissar carefully stressed
the consistent peace policy OF the
U. S. S. r. poiting out;
''The Soviet Union has its hands
unfettered by any secret political
combinations or agreements. Con-
sequently an improvement in its
relations with one country does not
mean worsening of its relations
with another. Only such a policy
genuinely assists and strengthens
general peace"
In their new campaign Of war in
element against the U. S. S. r. the
Japanese war-mongers deliberately
ignore this keystone Of Soviet policy
The Soviet newspaper "Izvestia"
yesterday answered the Japanese
war Indictment campaign with a re-
statement of the desire of the U. S.
S. r. for a on-aggression pact with
Japan. "Izvestia" declared:
Nothing unusual has happened,
two nations merely have resumed
normal relations. IL China has
diplomatic relations with Japan
it's quite all right but if it estab-
fishes relationship with Soviet Rus
STA il is very bad in the opinion
Of the Japanese Foreign Office.
Now, as before, we are ready to
sign a pact with Japan and Man
chukuo, and if Japan really con-
siders our relationship with China
harmful il would be better to sign
such a pact and put an end to all
suspicion"
News of the accord was received
with mingled feelings in U. S. inn
perialist circles who interpret it as
q tremendous gain for Soviet dip
lomacy, and a setback for the Jap
anese rivals of u. S. Imperialism
At the same time they expressed
alarm at the rapid growth Of the
Soviet Power, even while at
tempting to read into the accord a
of the Marking gov
eminent against the powerful Chin
ese Soviet Republic. On the contra
ry, the Soviet diplomatic victory

serve TO give additional impetus to

people in the fight, led by

Youne Miner to March

IRONWOOD, Mich, Dec. A.
Young unemployed workers here are
not at all satisfied with the starva-
ton program of the county and the
steel trust. Under the stimulus of
the National Hunger March, the I'm
employed Youth Committee of the
Iron Range, in Gogebic County,
Mich, has adopted a more vigorous
program. It calls for a job and relief
march to the county seat Bessemer,
on Dec. 20 at 10 a, m.
The county board Of supervisors
will then be in session and the young
unemployed workers will demand
from it:
l. Three days work every month
at the county wage scale for every
young unemployed worker No cut
ting relief of adults or parents.
2. Free medical and dental care
for all young workers until re-em-
ployed.
3. No discrimination in giving out
relief.
All young workers are urged to join
in this action. Older workers should
join in too, to help prevent the coun-
ty from cutting their relief.
