I. S. and Japan in
Fight for Loot

Jehol City was occupied ear.
ly Sunday morning by a van
guard Of 1913 Japanese officers
and soldiers. Gov. Tang and
his officers offered no resist
ance, although the city is well de-
Tended by strong Notifications and
heavy artillery.
Betrayed 70 Death
Thousands Of Chinese troops were
betrayed to their death. and Jehol
Province and its population turned
over TO the iron heel Of Japanese i'm
perialism by the base betrayal of the
defense by the Kuomintang mill
tarists, who on Saturday nigh
opened a sector of the defense line
around Jehol City to permit the
unhindered advance Of the Japanese
invaders on the capital. Chinese
rank and file soldiers, utterly sur
prised by the unexpected appearance
of the Japanese in their rear, we're
ruthlessly slaughtered by japanese
machine gun and artillery fire.
The first defense lines Of the Chi
nese regular troops were also be-
trayed a few days ago by similar
treachery when the Linguan sector
was thrown wide open to the Japan
csc invaders, facilitating their ad-
vance on Jehol City.
This latest betrayal of the Chinese
people by the Marking Kuomintang
Government is SO fragrant that even
the imperialist press admits it,
special Peiping dispatch to the New
York Times declaring "Jehol is lost
through treachery' The Marking
Government is supported by the
Wall Street bandits and the League
of Nations as a counter-revolution
force against the revolutionary up
surge Of the Soviet movement in
China. The same Marking Govern
ment which consistently helps the
imperialist bandits in their looting
and partition OF China has over one
million men under arms in Central
and South China in its fifth
Communist Suppression" campaign
against the growing Chinese Soviet
districts None Of these troops we're
sent to the defense of Jehol Province.
Danger of q. S.-Japan War
The Japanese invasion Of Jehol
Province was launched the very day
after the League of Nations had is
sued its hypocritical censure OF
Japan's seizure of Manchuria, a cen
sure aimed to force japanese i'm
perialism to share its loot In Man
churia with its imperialist rivals
under the Leagues program for lin
ternational control" OF Manchuris
This move was engineered by the
Wall Street Government which,
though not a member Of the League
utilized the small powers in that
body for an attack on Japan, and
used the war debts to bludgeon
France and Britain into a small
measure Of support Tor the U. S. Far
Eastern policy. Japan defied the de-
mands of its U. s. rivals, and with
drew its delegates from the League
conference. This was followed with
terrific sharpening Of the anita
gonisms between the two imperialist
rivals for the mastery of the Pacific
and control over China.

RALEIGH, Aug. 15.-The new
requirement from Washington
that all workers on federal re-
lief work projects must now be
paid 80 cents an hour, instead
of what has been the prevailing
local wage scale for whatever
type Of work has been done, is
going to make it necessary to
"stagger" employment on all
federal relief work projects,
Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, state d.
rector of relief. said today. This
means that where a man former
ly was given work six days a
week at Is cents an hour, he will
now be given work only three
DAYS a week at 30 cents an hour.
"What we will try to do now
is to see that all those who need
this relief employment are given
enough work to net them suffi-
cient pay to provide for their
basic needs, but no more, "Mrs.
O'Berry said. For from the
start, we have tried to. provide
work in proportion to the needs
of the individual or his family.
Thus, if our investigators found
that a minimum of So week
was needed to supply the needs
of a particular family, we tried
to sec to it that the head of the
family was given sufficient en-
ployment to provide the $S
needed. Under this new system,
