SILVIA, India, July II - Belly
crawling before the British ruler
here, the earl of Wilmington, Viceroy
OF India, Mahatma Gandhi, is plead
ing for an interview to arrange for
his full submission to the program
of British imperialism.
GandhiS pleading for an interview
follows a closed conference Of the
congress party of India, represent
ing mainly the rich Indian landoW,1-
ers and capitalists. The congress de-
cided to continue the civil disobedi-
ence campaign.
The Viceroy said he would refuse
to see Gandhi until the civil dis
obedience slogan which Gandhi and
his supporters have actually killed
in practice be officially called off
Gandhi wants the Earl to understand
how difficult it is to call off the
campaign after he promised the mas
ses he would die before he would
abandon it, But he said he would
satisfy all the wishes Of the viceroy
if he would only grant an interview.
In order to refurbish his waning
hold upon the masses, Gandhi is re-

COPENHAGEN, Denmark met
the delegate of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union on the dock, here,
as the Waterman wouldn't let him
aboard. He gave me line on things
in general in the Baltic; told me
to watch my step in Germany.
In Gdynia, Poland, things are
looking good for the organization, as
the demand for literature was great
er than the supply. I had some
German literature which I had put
away for Germany, but the demand
was so great had to let it go
there.
At Helsingfors we only stayed a
few hours. I had nothing in Finnish
or Swedish, but there were two
German ships there, one flying the
Hitler flag, and about to sail. On
the other some of the crew went
aboard and got talking to the cap
tain, who was a Nazi. He said
things in Germany were not SO bad
as the papers in America say they
are. We found all the crew but two
were members of the I. S. H, but
they had to keep their mouths shut
in public.
At Stettin, Germany, I got in
touch with three members of the
I. S. H, who told me all the old
heads of the union have either fed
Germany or are in jail, and that
it is not safe to carry any papers
with them as they get stopped and
searched for papers. I gave them
what Voices" 1 had left, as they
are anxious for word from outside
But the fire is still burning and
getting hotter, they say. One COM
rade has paper sent him every
week from America, but he does
not get it regularly. They try to
visit all the foreign ships which
come into Stettin and get news, so
I think it would be wise to have
ships delegates save some papers for
these comrades when MN ships
touch here in the future. 1t is a
regular port of call They cannot
visit the Russian ships without being
searched thoroughly after coming
off.
I have eight members on board
now, with prospects Of at least five
more before paying of time.

As to whatever real proletarian
elements may still belong to the
Lovestone group, Comrade PerloW
expresses his belief that "they will
soon convincs themselves, that the
road taken by them is false one.
that their place is in the ranks of
the Communist movement, and that
any one who leaves the Comintern
lands in the end into the camp of
the enemies of the Communist move
ment."
1t was in the strike struggles of
the furniture workers, in which he
took an active part as a leader, that
Comrade Perlow came to realize the
treachery of the Lovestone group
and refused to follow their anti
workingclass policies, pledging, in
stead, to fight against all groups and
elements which fight against the
Comintern and which, thereby, help
the bourgoisie.

ing applied for readmission more

POLICE; PROTEST
AGAINST FASCISM
46 Organizations in
Big United Front
Meeting

LOS ANGELES-More than 1000
people took part in a mighty protest
against Fascism at a meeting in the
Philharmonic Auditorium on July 10.
The meeting was sponsored by the
United Front Conference Against Fas-
cism, composed of as workers, liberal
and cultural organizations, and ini-
tiated by the IGOR.
A resolution calling for the imme-
date release of all political prisoners
held in the Hitler concentration
camps and for the stoppage of terror
organized by the Nazis was introduced
by DR.. Rosanoff, the chairman of the
meeting, and unanimously adopted.
The resolution was sent to the Ger
man representative in Los Angeles
and the ambassador in Washington.
Among the speakers were DR.. j. G.
Coleman, Executive Secretary of the
Los Angeles Friends of the Soviet
Union; A. L. Wirin, attorney for the
International Labor Defense; Lewis
Browne, liberal and author who re-
Gently visited Germany, and Sol Ell
stein of the IGOR.
Attorney Wirin pointed out the
danger Of Fascism in this country and
related the recent attacks on workers
in Los Angeles by the Ku Klux Khan
American Legionnaires and the red
squad" and called upon the workers
to fight fascism in Los Angeles.
This protest meeting at the Phil
harmonic auditorium is the inst since
october, 1881, when the Mooney Har-
Ian Protest Meeting was attacked by
Hynes and his ''red squad" Scores of
workers were brutally beaten, tear
gassed and later tried on framed-up
charges.

mental newspapers especially do not
attempt to conceal their fear of the
outbreak of new war on scale
that will quickly involve in number
the countries participating in the
world war.
Since the beginning of the con-
ference and the realization that, far
from softening the effects of the
crisis, the capitalist world is sinking
into worse chaos than before, there
has been an unprecedented activity
in armament building. The collapse,
in its early stages, of the conference,
and the frenzied building of naval
ships and strengthening of the armed
forces generally, are closely connected
and indicate that the powers realize
that the time if near at hand when
the political maneuvers that have
been carried on through conferences
will be played out and that the roar
of guns on the battle field will drown
out the echoes of conference speeches.
For two weeks delegates from var
ious countries have been returning
to their homes. Almost without ex-
ception when they arrive home they
join in the nationalistic propaganda
that is raging in every country and
is part of the war preparations. Two
of the American delegates, Senator
Couzens Of Michigan and Ralph w
Morrison, will sail for the United
States on Thursday, before the Of
fetal adjournment. Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, James M. Cox

tiations with Latin American and
other countries to try to get agree
nlents on bilateral trade pacts.

Party Readmits Tevo, Who See
Error in Supporting Renegades

NEW YORK. by action of the
New York District organization, Max
PerloW and S. Leroy have been re-
admitted into the Communist Party
of the U.SA.
Both were expelled from the Party
some years ago for aligning them
selves with the Ioyestone group
Both applied for readmission several
months ago, declaring complete dis
ISOLATION from the renegades and
full acceptance of the program tao
tics and discipline of the Commu-
mist Party and Of the Communist
International; and both have proved
their sincerity in their activities and
conduct since then.
Max Perlow is a furniture worker.
In applying for readnission he has
stated in part: "The actions of the
Lovestone group in the needle trades,
where Zimmerman openly united
with the right wingers; their capt.
tulation to the Dubinskies; their
fight against a real united front of
the workers also their latest

same connection wrote that these
were words which expressed true love
for the fatherland, love in anguish
as result of the lack of revolution
airy spirit among the masses; he
wrote that these words were not only
an expression of a fruitless feeling
of sorrow, but an expression of in
dignation against the system of
slavery. They are words of true
love for the fatherland," said Lenin.
The mission we live to fulfill is
the building of socialist society. The
position of Russia in Chernyshevsky's
time is somewhat different from the
position Of Japan today, and there
fore one cannot make literal use of
ChernyShevsky's words in Japanese
circumstances. But. nevertheless,
freedom in Japan is extremely re-
stricted. The civil freedom of ordin-
airy bourgeois society does not exist
in Japan. People who have been
abroad feel this restriction of free
dom very keenly. Actually the Japa-
nese people are driven behind prison
bars. Ever since the Medji restora-
ton the workers have been deprived
Of the right to call strikes. This
government has reduced the masses
to death by starvation, this govern
ment keeps almost all the popula-
ton in a condition of slavery, this
government is conducting a rapa-
cious war, is attacking the land of
the Soviets, and trying to throttle
the Chinese revolution. Moreover,
this same government, the govern
ment of the bourgeoisie and land
lords, is prosecuting Communists,
committing them to trial, and bring
ing in harsh sentences against them.
This government Is trying to fool the
workers and is booming the peasant

they will agree to adjourn with the
stipulation that it will meet some
time in the future with greatly
reduced number of delegates from
the various countries.
1t is probable, however, that the
steering committee will never even
make a pretense to reconvening it.

is no doubt that Britain is taking up
the threat to her trade advantages
contained in the United States policy
Of initiation and will devaluate the
pound sterling.
Already in England, as in the
United States. the progress of infla-
ton is leading to soaring prices for
all necessaries of life, with the con-
sequent further beating down of the
standards of life of the workers.
Fierce beating down of real wages,
through reducing the purchasing
power of money, the charging of
monopoly prices in the home coun-

policy that emerges from the con-

England setting the pace.

the backs of their rivals, to obtain
secret trade and preferred tariff
agreements with other countries has
sharpened the animosities between
the imperialist powers. The whole
atmosphere is tense and the CONT
