y -
LEIPZIG. Sept. 29AIt Is really
very difficult in present-day Germany
for a foreigner, whose every step is
spied upon, to establish contact with
the various strata of the population.
The inquirer runs a big chance of
being the victim of denunciation,
and of falling into the hands of the
police of the Third Reich" To any,
one who is familiar with the methods
of investigation used by the police,
which include every instrument of
torture, no precaution seems too great.
Nevertheless, like all other foreign
observers, without excsption-and
basing myself more on the testimony
Of workers than any Of ti1em-I have
been able to Judge how far the stu
alton has changed in Germany since
the month Of March.
While at the time 1t was very diff
f1clllt, and even impossible, to get to
know the lives of people, now, on the
contrary, as soon as one has won
their confidence, they drop the mask.
My observations brought me to the
following double conclusion: first, the
current politics Of the Nazis have
brought about a profound disillusion;
secondly, the revolutionary organiza-
tons have increased their activity.
Communist Propaganda Plays
Greatest Role.
It is not difficult to see that Com
munist propaganda plays the greatest
role in this change, and that it has a
considerable influence on opinion. 1t
is well known of course that 1t has
occupied the attention of a great
number Of publications in all coun-
tries, which have published inquiries
and articles on the subject.
The vitality which our comrades
have shown in their propaganda has
even inspired certain journalists to
the prophecy that this fall or this

immediate steps toward forming
Hands Off Cuba Committees to
spread the struggle against interven-
ton in Cuba among the widest pos
sible sections of the American
masses.
The Hands Off cuba committees
should be formed in every city,
town, neighborhood and organiza-
ton. They should consist of groups
of people, ready and eager to answer
the appeal of the Cuban masses to
help them prevent the destruction
of our cities and villages. Prevent
the war of your bankers against the
Cuban people" They should gain
support for the delegation being sent
to Cuba by the Anti-Imperialist
League.
Every reader Of the Daily Worker

this appeal, communicate with the
Anti-Imperialist League at 80 E. Goth
St., New York City, regarding aid in

VIENNA, Oct. 1.-THE workers of
this city began anti government
demonstrations in the streets
last night, as the Dollfuss
dictatorship suppressed the Socialist
"Arbeiter-zeitung," last legal work

charges of seditious activity.
A number of 2-hour protest strikes
throughout the day in several indust-
rieS were called in preparation for a
nationwide general strike.
The trade unions are comforting
late tonight on the calling of a gen

protest against the governments at

the total applications for the four

Relief officials do not expect any
decrease in the total number receiv-

it is more than likely that the num-
Der of relief lists will increase during
the winter months.

SOUGHT NEAR
HAGERSTONN
New Clothing Clues Found;
Knights of Pythias Offer
Extra $500 Reward

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Jan. 8.
Part of mans coat and small
piece of cloth found in the woods
beyond Hancock, Md, were the
latest clues today in the hunt for
r. s. McCoin, Henderson IN. CO.
attorney, who has been missing
for almost two weeks.
E. B. Linthicum, of Raleigh, N.
c., McCoin's nephew, who is con-
Quoting the search for his uncle's
body in the mountains between
here and Cumberland, failed to
identify the new evidence but
police worked on the theory that
it might be vital.
Linthicum, with j. H. LangSton,
chief of Henderson police, is scour-
ing the hills near here and roads
leading off the main highway.
According to an anonymous
letter last week, McCoin was slain
by four boys near Petersburg, Va,
and his body buried near here.
Linthicum is convinced that the
story told in the letter is authentic
and that his uncle is dead.
Two rewards now have been
made for the discovery of Nc
Coins body-one by relatives Of
the missing man and the other by
the Supreme Lodge, Knights Of
Pythias. Each deward is $500.

PRINCE A FAKE;
/. To CD FREE

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The
United States Government is all
through with Harry F. Gerguson,
Brooklyn tailor, whose interna.
tional advent .es have intrigued
newspapers readers Of three con-
tinentS.
Washington today will officially
brand the pseudo Prince Dimjtri
Michael Obolenski Romanoff a
faker and administer a swift kick
in the trousers to Ellis Islands
perennial pest. Officials can find
no evidence on which to deport
him.
Investigation by the Labor De-
partment and by Ellis Island
authorities appear to have estab-
liShed that Gerguson is really an
American citizen, son of a Brook
lyn pants preSser. The attitude
of officialdom now is-What
of it?
Thousands. of good American
dollars have been disbursed con-
Quoting inquiries as to Gerguson'S
antecedentS. Convinced the pre-
tender to royalty is merely q
cheap charlatan but withal a
native product, the Labor Depart
ment will order him to go about
his business.

He added that these authorities

Japanese officer who was ap-

Typical RumOrs"
Chinese officials said they
feared a Japanese military move
ment between Marking and Shang-
hal. This apprehension was in
duced by reports from Marking
that the Japanese were prepared
to land on the banks OF the
Yangtze River, perhaps near
Chinkiang, if necessary.
Other sources called this report
typical of the rumors that are

Actions of Chinese authorities,
however, made it evident they

Details of the conference were

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 Q.N.SO.
The outbreak of the fighting at
Shanhaikwan follows military op-
erations which I witnessed at that
ancient city.
There the Great Wall of China
starts in a futile effort to keep out
invaders from the north.
There only a few weeks ago I
saw a new narrow gauge railway
built from the japanese barracks
right onto the Chinese railway
platform.
Something Brewing"
A hundred feet away was q new
corrugated tin miniature station

asked foreigners at Shan
haikwan:
''What's all that fOr?"
1--WE don't know. japanese
soldiers just laid down that
track and that's all there is to
it. Looks like something is
brewing"
learned that there was some
thing in the air in the Chinese
camp as well. The foreign sta
ton master was discharged be-
cause he had allowed this new
railway to be laid without ef-
fective protest, and because he
personally had agreed to let the
japanese take over more than
half of the buildings in the sta
ton.
Through Solving Up"
Gen. Ho Chi-Kuo was quoted
as declaring:
I'VE are through with giving
un .parts of China +
The discharged foreigner had
pointed out that it made no diff
ference whether the city was
handed over piecemeal peacefully
or whether the Japanese just came
in and took it. But he was fired,
and a successor named who
wouldn't take this attitude.
So apparently that's the setting
for the New Year picture at
Shanhaikwan.
Defense Force Japanese
When I went to Shanhatkwan
I discovered that the Manchukuo
army kept a frontier defense force
at the Great Wall. but noticed
two things.
First, the frontier defense force
was wholly Japanese, who wore
uniforms only slightly different
from those of the Japanese army,
and who rarely spoke a word of
Chinese.
Second, they freely entered and
rambled and Unanswered in Shan
haikWan.
All observers realized that the
occupation of Shanhaikwan was a
necessary detail in the Manchu-
kuo program, but the only queS'
ton in the minds Of the japanese
troops at the Great Wall appeared
to be not whether they would
take it, but how they would
| do so.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 3 U.N.S0
What is the secret behind the
failure o. the marriage plans of
Princess Ingrid Of Sweden and
Prince George of England to ma
terialiZe?
Did the British princes ardor
cool when Ingrid went to London
to return his ostensibly happy
visit to Stockholm?
Did she return to her capital
heart-broken? Does a shattered
romance hold the key to her pres
ent isolation at the castle of her
brother in the country five miles
from Stockholm?
When she visited London, how
ever, he was almost never with
her.
Her departure from the capital
unQueStionably was hurried. She
had planned to remain in London
at least until November IL, when
her father, the Swedish Crown
Prince, celebrated his fiftieth
birthday in the British capital.
But she boarded a plane for
Brussels and then for home un-
expectedly on November 3. Prince
George failed to see her off.
Since her return, Ingrid has
spent most of her time at Prince
Gustav Adolf's castle in Ulrikedal.
Her only public appearances have
been at a few charity baZaars and
official entertainments. The Crown
Princes court marshal states en-
phatically that she does not plan
another visit to London.
