and Dangerous Thoughts laws was
concluded yesterday, with the prosec-
utor demanding the death penalty
for Mitemaru, member of the Cen

to fifteen years for the others.
Mass protest action by tens of thou

FIGARO" CALLS
FOR WAR ON USSR
Says France Must Aid
Japan

Expecting an early attack by Japan
against the Soviet Union, the French
newspaper Figaro, semi official or
gan of the French Government, has
come out in opposition to the signing
by Poland and Rumania of the non
aggression pacts offered by the Sow
let Union. The Figaro, voicing the
anti-Soviet aims of French imperial
ism declares:
"We should like to point out that
mona aggression pact would be
very injurious to our relations with
Japan. Indeed if war broke out
between Japan and Russia, our neu-
trality would not only harm the
cause of civilization, but we should
also be unable to supply Japan with
arms and munitions"
The Salvation Army, like the Tar
list White Guards, is preparing to
play its vicious role in the attack on
the Soviet Union. General Higgins,
head of the organization declared in
London yesterday:
"The Russians ended our efforts
with the revolution, but we shall be
ready when the time comes to re-
commence our work."
Poland and Rumania, vassal states
of French Imperialism on the eastern
frontiers of the Soviet Union, have
delayed for several months the sign
ing of the non-aggression pacts, Of
fering various pretexts for the de.

other French vassal states on the

NEW YORK.-In the face of the
flood of injunctions being issued in
New York against workers in the shoe

militant leaders.
Bread Or Beer?
AT the demonstration. too, the false
promises and fake issues raised and
approved by the conventions of the
three capitalist parties, Democratic,
Republican and Socialist, will be ex-
posed. The fake fight for beer, which
takes first place on the capitalist
list Of issues, will be set against the
workers fight for bread, which is the
main issue in the Communist pro-
gram and platform.
The capitalist parties discrimina-
ton against Negroes will be chal-
1enged by the Communist Party be-
fore the workers by Ford, Negro
worker, who is the Party's candidate
for Vice-P President.
Against Firing, Wage Cuts.
'The capitalist press recently pub
hshed statements from the New York
superintendent of schools, William j.
O'Shea, proudly pointing to the
economics effected in the school
budget through firing of teachers, in
direct wage-cuts by hiring substitute
teachers to take the place of teachers
on full time, and increasing by so
per cent the number of pupils per
teacher" the Election Committee
stated. "The statement cynically re-
lated the benefits of the crisis Of
an unemployment, supposedly gained
by this means, and by the forced de-
duction of percentage of the pay
of teachers to feed the starving chill
dren of the unemployed in their class
rooms.
