/ ia planes and equipment. Thirty
eight of the planes are of new type,
described as, THE most powerful
weapon produced by any nation since
the World War" The actual per-
Torrance of these formidable bombing
planes is shrouded with secrecy by
the War Department. 1t developed
yesterday that the U. S. Army already
has 10000 troops in Hawaii, with
heavy artillery, tractors and tanks.
The dispatch OF the troops to Hawaii
was carried out under the pretext of
defending the islands in the forth
coming manouvers of the u s. Battle
Fleet in the Pacific. The entire U. S.
Battle Fleet has been concentrated in
the Pacific since February, 1882. The
n1anouvers are scheduled to begin
early next month.
While the two fmperialist powers
are preparing for an armed conflict,
the U. S. is still shipping nitrates and
huge supplies of munitions to Japan
in the hope that its efforts of divert
ing Japan away from U. S. spheres of
influence and for war against the
Soviet Union viii be successful,
Washington dispatches to the New
York World Telegram reveals large
shipments of nitrates from Hopewell
Va. According to these dispatches
such shipments amounted to 14,6l7
tons in 1882. In that same year. the
U. S. also shipped 100000 bales of
cotton to Japan, as against 1,744,0o0
the year before. Cotton is used in
munition production.

NEW CLASH NEAR
In 50. AMERICA
Wall st. Blesses It's
Colombian Puppets

Behind the pacifist screen thrown
out by the Wall Street Government
and the League of Nations, the Col
onlbiai1 puppets of Wall Street pre-
pared ystrday to resume the unde-
clared war with Peru.
Colombian warships and troop
transports have arrived at Leticia and
are preparing to disembark troops.
South American dispatches admit
that a clash is expected any moment.
Most of the Colombian warships are
commanded by Americans. Several,
including the former u S. freighter
sBridgetown' were purchased in the
U. S. with the knowledge and con-
sent of the State Department. Re-
cruiting for the Colombian armed
forces is --als-s-be-ng permitted in
many American cities. u s. NUM-
ton and airplane makers have made
large sales to the Colombian Gov
eminent.
The preparations at the Colombian
Government for an immediate at
tack at Leticia follows directly on the
dispatch by the U. S. of a sharp note
TO Peru, in which Washington sup
ports its Colombian puppets in the
struggle with Peru.
The two undeclared wars in South
America Color bia VS.. Peru; Para
quay vs. Bolivia reflect the increas-
ing bitter rivalry between U. S. and
British imperialism for control OF
markets and raw resources in South
America. The Standard Oil Com
pany is giving financial and other
aid to the Bolivian government in its
war with Paraguay. The wars also
reflect the desperation of the local
national bourgeoisie in their hunt
for a capitalist way out" of the cri-
sis, at the expense of the toiling mass
es. The toilers of South America are
answering the war mongers with in
creasing strike struggles, agitation in
the armed forces, farmers strikes, and
preparations for the South Arnewoan
anti-War Congress at Montevideo
Uruguay. Feb %. The workers OF
the u. S. must support these anti
war struggles, against the war insti-
gators at Washington, and London,
against the capitalist war-mongers.
Resumption of the conflict between
Colombia and Peru is expected to in
velve six South American countries.
The governments of Brazil and ECU
ador are continuing to concentrate
troops and warsllips on the borders
Of Peru. Even Venezuela, separated
by Colombia from the scene of the
conflict, is being modified by the
Wall Street imperialists for the war
as a member of the U. S. bloc of pup
pet states being lined up against
those nations influenced by Britain

spreading to Ford's and other
plants. This move was part of
organized efforts to crush the
strikes that have been started, with
the auto bosses working hand in
hand with Mayor Murphy, darling of
the socialists" and liberals, and the
leaders Of the International Associ-
alton of Machinists, affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
At the same time the Briggs Body
company, in an effort to lure its men
back to work, announced 10 to 20 per-
cent increases in the wage scales, but
only for productive labor, while the
old rates remain for productive
labor. This is a move to split the
tanks of the strikers who are de-
handing not only wage increases, but
shorter hours, the abolition of the
bonus, piece work and group system
as well as of the bosses group insur-
ance.
Ford Hits at Strike.
The Ford company gave as its
reason for closing down that it could
not continue operating without the
bodies that Briggs manufactures
Actually, this IS an eff to forestaI
a walkout at Ford plants, where
strike sentiment is spreading as 8
result of the activity of the Auto
Workers Union, and to crush the
Briggs strike by ral1ying the Fore
workers against the Briggs men. The
Ford company is telling its workers
that the Briggs walkout has deprived
them of jobs and is urging them tc
go among the Briggs men and wir
them away from the strike.
To counterfeit strike sentiment g
transatlantic telephone interview
was arranged today between Henry
Ford and the London Evening
Standard, in which Ford said, GAS
for my own employees, there is moi
man among them who would strike
The fact that they are not working
does not mean they are on strike"
The Murray Body men, who joined
the struggle today, have converted
the lockout declared against them in
to strike and have started active
picketing. Like the Briggs strikers
they are following the leadership Of
the militant Auto Workers Union.
Raise Red Scare.
The bosses, the A. F. of L. leaders
and the city government are also
raising the Red scare in an attempt
to crush the strike. Despite this
mass picketing continued today with
increased militancy. Mass meetings
are being arranged all over the city
in support of the Briggs and Muir
ray Body strikes, with special en-
phasis to be laid on getting the Ford
workers together in support of the
strike and against the strike break
ing tactics of Ford, Murphy and the
A. F. of L. nisleaders.
The Auto Workers Union is is
suing a statement exposing these
strikebreaking moves and calling on
the auto workers throughout the city
to unite in common struggle against
wage-cuts and speed-up, and for in
creased wages, unemployment relief
and insurance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
Hearings before the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee on the pro-
posed s1,5oo,oOo,ooo emergency farm
credit" bill will begin soon in wash
ington, it was announced here today.
The bill is being sponsored by SEN
ator joe Robinson, of Arkansas,
democratic leader.
That the measure has the support
of President-el Franklin D. Roose-
velt-there is not the slightest doubt,
since it is known that Henry Morgen-
THAI, Jr., Rooseyelt's "agrarian ad-
visor" had a hand in the shaping Of
the bill.
The emergency farm credit bill
resembles strikinsly the proposal
which gave birth to the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation. BY the
terms Of the farm bill, amounts up
to $1,000 would be lent to individual
farm owners on first and second
mortgage security, thus automatically
barring the thousands of ruined
farmers who are already heavily en-
numbered and making the benefit
