JIM SAMSEL INJURED

Jim Samsel suffered a painful
and nearly serious injury this
week, while pruning trees on the
Highlands. He fell from q tree
hitting a pair of pruning shears,
severing an artery in the forearm.
Prompt action on the part of a
neighbor in making tourniquet
for the injured arm and bringing
him to a doctor was a big help.
The arm required number OF
stitches and difficult job of unit
ing the severed artery, but he is
not expected to suffer any perm.
anent injury, altho rather weak
from the loss of blood.

or course the revolution demands
sacrifices, and death is the greatest
secrifice. The whole of the world
revolutionary movement during the
last thirty years clearly shows that
the blood of our comrades, who have
fallen at the hands of the. class
enemy, has only steeled and strength
ened our Party. Did not the death
OF Comrade Vatanabe, who fell in

our Party? Our Chinese and Korean
comrades are themselves becoming
convinced on their own experience
that these sacrifices strengthen the
Party. Only in circumstances like
this can our Party be the leader of
the working class.
Our Party is a Party of action. It
cannot grow strong on the basis of
mere phrases. Loyalty, self-sac1fice
enthusiasm, an uncomfortable spirit
and courage are demanded of Com

eminent If this is crime against
civil peace, then why is the accusa-
lion not made against us on this
point? The answer is quite obvious
We are not accused of violating civil
peace for fear of revealing the aims
and class character of the Commu-
mist Party TO the masses.
We are also accused of calling in
the enemy from outside" What is
the meaning of this accusation? No
doubt the public prosecutor is here
referring to the fact that the Com
munist Party is section of the
Communist International which, he
imagines, is controlled by the Rus
slams. But it should not be forgot
ten that this accusation Is an abso-
lutely exact expression of the desire
of Japanese imperialism to rush into
a rapacious war against the u. S. s.

the whole world.

Haiku Sano, Communist Leader, Urges World
Wide Protest. Recalls Sacco-V anzetti Case

by passing these heavy sentences the
court tries to create a precedent for
using the death sentence and life
imprisonment against the Commu-
nists, and thus to prepare strong re-
sistance to further revolutionary &C
tiNties on the part of the masses.
We must fight TO the utmost
against these harsh sentences. When
Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced
10 death in America, the workers,
not only Of America, but also in Lon
don, Berlin and Paris and all the
large centers Of the world delivered
a mass protest against the verdict.
We also organized q demonstration
OF protest In our country, and the
accused know it. Now we must once
more organize the same sort of DEM
onstration and even more powerful
ones, to protest against the SEN
fences passed upon our comrades;
we must smash the plotting of the
class enemy to create court pre-
cedent." The prosecutor has de-

enemy fell upon him, he was at the
same time defending the Party. This
should be estimated as a political act.
And only from this point of view can
the accusation be levelled against
Comrade Mitamura. In certain cir
cumstances it is quite possible and
permissible for Communist to turn
to force of arms and shoot at the
enemy. And only a degenerate petty
bourgeois can assert that a Com
munist in no circumstances should
make use of weapons. Kuroda, who
Intentionally killed Sendzi Yamatoto,
a revolutionary member of parlia-
ment, was sentenced to only seven
years Imprisonment. We see here
an Unreasonable difference in the
approach to Kuroda and towards
Comrade Mitamura. We protest with
all our might against the severe SEN
fences of the class court, and demand
our immediate and unconditional re-
lease.
However, you will not be success
full in smashing our Party either by
harsh sentences, or prosecuting its
members. True, there have been

LEADERS ADMIT
BREAKDOWN OF
LONDON FARLEY
Report Declares Any
Agreement Impossible
and Blames u. S.

LONDON, July 16.-The official
seal recognizing the breakdown of
the World Economic and Monetary
conference was placed upon it yes
terday by the drafting committee.
Its report, made public late in the
afternoon, admitted its failure to
reach an agreement ION any vital
subject involving international CO.
operation. That committee, which
had been considering commercial po-
licies, was the first to make report.
1t is certain that similar reports will
be made by each of the other sub
committees.
The report begins by blaming in
ferentially the stand taken by the
United States delegates for the COM
mittee's inability for failure to reach
agreements on anything at all. 1t
considered two fundamental ques-
tons" First, abolition or reduction
of quantitive restrictions upon i'm
ports and progressive restoration of
normal exchanges Secondly, tariff
policy and the most favored nation
clause.
The United States, In pushing for
ward its traAe war and refusing to
do anything that would hamper its
further beating down of the dollar to
gain further trade advantages against
its rivals, is held responsible for the
debacle. This report shows that Bri-
tain, manouvering in that commits
sion, was able to line up the men,
bers in behalf of a policy of trying
to cover up all the other manifold
antagonisrns that we're SO sharply
reflected at the conference.
The delegates, many of whom have
used the conference as forum from
which to issue new ISLANDERS against
the Soviet Union, were forced to rec
ognize the Soviet proposals for i'm
mediate cessation of economic war
fare. They got around that issue by
proposing it for the agenda if and
when the World Economic Con-
ference resumes.

BERLIN, July 16.-The sharpening
Of the German economic crisis, which
Adolf Hitler's rise to power has great

CHICAGO, July 16.-Italian gang
sters, bootleggers, hi-jackers and other
criminal elements that work hand

and police were today arrayed in fas-
cist black shirts and openly allied
with the police in shielding the fas-
cist butcher, General Italo Balbo
from the hatred of Chicago workers.
Especially throughout the Italian
working class sections the fascist
gangsters are concentrated, fearful of
widespread demonstrations of mass
fury against the presence in Chicago

in 1924 of Giacomo Matteoti when

Welcomed BY Strike Breakers
Balbo, at the head of his Armada
arrived yesterday on the last leg of
their fiight-from Montreal to Chi
cago. A few hours before a delega-
ton from the United Front Anti
Fascist organization had visited City
Hall and demanded that Mayor Kelly
refuse to stage public reception
But Kelly, head of tho strike break

active in attacking the Sopkin dress
strikers, was on hand to greet the
fascist butcher, along with Rufus C..
Dawes, president of the Century of
Progress racket; United States Com
missioner Harry New and Governor
Henry Horner of Illinois.
The fascist flyers brought their
planes down in Lake Michigan just
off the exhibition grounds. Swarms
of police and blackshirted thugs,
forming the organization known as
the Sons of Italy in America. guard
ed the docks containing the supplies
for refueling the planes.
The planes accompanying Balbo
slowed up to let him land first, with
his "fag-ship" of the squadron. The
flyers were dined on the lake on the
Wilmette, and the boat then steamed
INTO the lagoon inlet at the fair
grounds, thence to Soldiers Field for
the official welcome.
Today the gang attended noon

sent to the newly founded Commu-

ence sent greetings to William z

he would soon regain his health and
again take his place in the front
lines of the struggle.
The cables follow:
ITO the Executive Committee of the
Communist International,
THE Conference of the Commu-
mist Party Of the U.S.A. is shocked
and grieved by the death of Com
rade Gussev, lifetime co-worker with
Lenin and Stain, and among the
best leaders of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union and of the Com
msnist International. In seeking
to accomplish the necessary profound
change and improvement in our
work among the basic American in
dustrial proletarians the Communist
Party of the U.S.A. values the many
contributions TO the solution of its
problems made by Comrade Gussev
who nearly a decade was the devoted
friend and counsellor of the Com
munist Party Of the U.S,A."

Soviet timber was not brought about
by unnecessary advertising expenses
and the distribution of free shares
of stock among share holders. He
also showed that the exhorhjtant
salaries paid to parasitic officials of
the capitalist timber trusts were I'M
known in the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Reply to Canadians.
The text of the letter from the
Soviet delegation follows:
when perusing the text of the
speech of the Canadian delegate de-
livered on July Bird at the session Of
the SUBJ commission dealing with the
coordination of production and sale,
published in the conference bulletin
Of July 4th, noted the declaration
of the Canadian representative say
ing that Soviet timber is exported
and sold without calculating a num-
Der of elements of the cost of pro-
duction and that workers in the u.
S.SR. must accept labor conditions
and wages fixed by the state on a
level necessary to create the posi-
bility of selling products in the for
eign market
ut is quite apparent that expenses
of production, such as unnecessary
advertising, the distribution gratis of
shares of stock among share holders,
the unproductive expenses in the
form of high salaries of directors,
ETC., are absent in the Soviet Union
"As to the statement Of the Ca
madam delegate regarding labor con-
ditions and wages which he claims
are imposed upon workers In the
lumber industry I must emphasize
that the U.S.SR. is the only coun-
try which has completely eliminated
unemployment which has such a
widespread existence in other coun-
tries and, many of them, including,
regretfully, Canada, unemployment is
growing.
Workers Driven by Starvation.
mo doubt unemployment is the
only means to impose upon workers
any conditions, any wages. These
miserable conditions prevalent In all
other countries they are forced to
accept to evade starvation. The
fact that labor conditions In the u.
S.SR. are constantly improving.
whereas in other countries, Canada
included, they are growing worse
and labor conditions deteriorat.ng
confirms this.
"Our country is the only one which
during recent years has considerably
raised the living standards OF the
masses, particularly wages (the
yearly wage fund in the course Of
the past four years has grown by 81
per cent. and insurance funds by
292 per cent?
las to Canadian timber export
being in state of crisis, Soviet COM
petition less than anything else can
be blamed for this. Especially is
this so in the matter of Canadian
timber finding no European markets,
especially British markets. This Is
best proved by the fact that whils
during the recent months Soviet
timber exports to England we're COM
pletely suspended due to the trade
embargo. During that time Canada
found it impossible to considerably
extend it's timber export to England :"
