While on the one hand, Whalen

Railway and searches of their Of

resentment among Soviet officials
throughout Northern Manchuria.
''Pravda" Condemns Japan's Bluff
(Special Cable to the Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-THE endeav-
ors of the Japanese government to
buster and bluff its way out of the
damaging evidence exposing official
japanese plots for the seizure Of
the Soviet-owned Chinese Eastern
Railway in Manchuria were roundly
condemned by "Pravda," official or
gan of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.
"Pravda" writes:
"The comments of the Japanese
press and the statements of For
eign Office spokesman show how
great is the confusion OF the
usurpers who have been caught
red-handed.
The official Japanese docu-
ments, only part Of which were
published by lass (Soviet News
agency, irrefutably establish the
full responsibility of the Japan
csc government for the prepara-
tions to seize the GER, for the
lawIess acts of the Japanese au-
thorities on the railway line, and
for the molestation of Soviet en-
ployees.
''The clumsy attempts of the
japanese imperiahsts to shirk res
possibility, therefore, by means Of
subterfuges and the noisy threats
which fill the japanese press in
accordance with orders from above
cannot be regarded otherwise than
as ridiculous.
Immediately after the publ
cation of these secret documents,
the Japanese press-refiecting the
confusion in the minds of leading
governmental circles-attempted to
cast doubt on the authenticity Of
the documents. These laughable
efforts, however, didn't make any
impression on even bourgeois pub
lie opinion outside Japan.
From the beginning the jap
anese imperialists resorted to noisy
statements because they realize
perfectly the full extent to which
these documents reveal to the whole
world their real plans and inten-
tions.
THE toilers of the whole world
have gotten q glimpse of the real
visage of aggressive japanese i'm
perialism. A confused mind is a
bad counsellor, since the subsequent
statements of the japanese For
eign ONCE show that the circles
involved are seeking new argyll
ments. They are now forced to re-
sort to complicated maneuvers, in
their search for some way of escap-
ing the responsibility resting on the
Japanese government.
But the Japanese imperialists
will not succeed in evading this
responsibility. The Soviet Union
gave Japan full warning on two
occasions before these document
were published"

Rank and File Program
of Auto Union Well
Received
BY A. B. MAGIL

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. IL
Seven thousand striking tool
and diemakers joined by many
production workers paraded to-
day through Detroit streets in
militant demonstration for strike
victory. Led by Fisher Body strikers,
they marched from Arena Gardens,
down woodward Avenue to City Hall,
then West to Clark Park where a
meeting was held. The spirit of strug-
gle and determination to win, per-
meated the march. The parade would
have been much bigger if not for the
sabotage amounting to strike-break-
ing by the leaders of the Mechanics
Educational Society, j. Griffen and
A. Smith.
These misleaders overruled the de-
cision forced through the strike COM
mittee by the demand of the militant
rank and file for the parade and the
spreading of the strike to the pro-
duction workers. However, at the last
minute, the rank and file group
forced Griffen and Smith to retreat.
The Clark Park meeting was adj
dressed by Griffen, Smith and An
derson, the latter rank and file
member of the Strike Committee
from the Ternstdet Plant. The latter
stressed the necessity to pull out the
production workers.
The leaflets distributed by the Auto
Workers Union supporting the rank
and file program, was eagerly read.
The strikers are demanding the
spreading of the strike to the Ford
Plant and all Production workers.
The misleaders are trying to stifle
the struggle, relying on negotiations
with the MIRA in Washington.

oiled convention steamroller, but only
after being vigorously applauded by
many delegates.
Without the right to the strike
weapon, which is being forbidden I'M

Suny declared from the convention
platform in the Willard Hotel. He
was called on the platform after pre-

support the striking steel and coal
workers who on the same day we're

befuddled, responded with feeble
defense of the code hearing: Even
