MILITARISM HIT
BY STUDENTS
Detroit Youth Demand
Relief, No Training

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. q. - Five
army officers came into Chadsey
High School recently to recruit the
High, School boys into the reserve
officers training course, but when
the Army Officers were through all
the students begin to pour questions
what about Relief instead of Mi
litary Training? The professors Of
the High School, who are getting paid
by the Motor Barons in order to
develop the students into loyal pat
riots felt very embarrassed before
the Army Officers; they did not ex-
pect such reply from the students.
The High School students have a
club organized, and are working mi
litantly against this military training
in the school for they know that ii
means they are being trained to be
slaughtered on the fields for the
profit of the auto harons and other
bankers in the preparation of the
new imperialist war. The Young
Communist League is playing an inn
portant role in modifying the stu
dents against capitalist nlilitarisn1 in
the schools.

There was further sharpening
yesterday of the tense situation be-
tween the U. S. and Japan over the
latter's threat to Wall Streets con-
cessions and spheres of influence in
China, as the U. S. Ambassador in
Peiping sharply protested against a
proposed military vancouver by jap
anese troops in that city. Japanese
troops in the Shanhaikwan area eva
cuated property of missionary agents
of U. S. imperialism after protest
by the American Legation.
In connection with the increasingly
bitter rivalry between the two ban
dit powers for mastery of the Pacific,
japanese War Minister Araki yester-
day told the Japanese House of Peers
that "Japan's national defense has
been strengthened to meet any emer-
gency." The open admission of the
frantic war preparations of the past
few months came on the heels of
Araki's statement that Japan must
compete against the Soviet Union in
the air., Araki thus gave notice that
while .Japan's war preparations are
mainly directed against the Soviet
Union they are also intended to
strengthen Japan's military position
in the developing war situation be-
tween Japan and the U. S. in their
rivalry for mastery of the Pacific and
control over China.
On its part, the Wall Street Gov

500 Fight to Resist
Rent Strike Eviction

NEW YORK. = One person was
knocked unconscious, three were ar
rested, and more than score were
beaten up in the course of severaI
evictions yesterday at Paradise Alley
Avenue A and East 10th Street. More
than a hundred policemen brandisheo
fire axes, guns, and blackjacks In
breaking through the apartments and
beating up the tenants.
The police smashed In the door OF
Stanley Bright's apartment at SOB E
18th Street, arrested Bright, hurled
the furniture out the window, and
left his sick wife lying on a bare cot
Yesterday World Telegram declared
that Bright had threatened to shoot
the police if they dared break into
the apartment. This is a vicious lie
Bright had refused entrance to the
police because of his wife's illness. He
did not threaten to shoot. He did not
have a pistol The police invented
this lie for the capitalist press SO that
they could justify their acts.
The police hacked through the roof
of Billy Dronsick's apartment at It's
Avenue A and evicted Edward Nash,
who was taking care of the apart
ment during Dronsick's absence.
Dronsick, an ex-war veteran is now
in the Naval Hospital.
When Clarence Roth, leader of the
strikers, called upon the tenants to
resist the evictions he was slugged
and put under arrest. Frank Bard was
knocked unconscious by the police and
his body left lying on the sidewalk.
Workers rescued Bard and gave him
first aid. An ambulance surgeon later
refused to state how serious his con-
dition was.
Revolutionary writer's, poets and
artists were among those evicted.
They were Dorothy Bendon, poet;
David Rosenberg, artist; s-.t5rris Man,
man, writer, Hirsch Margulies, artist,
and Mary Wilson office worker.
More than 500 workers who came
to the rescue of the evicted were
slugged with blackjacks by the police
in attempting to disperse them. With
in few minutes the police had in
cited a riot from curb to curb at
Avenue A and East 18th Street.
Mounted policeman forced their way
into the crowd their horses trampling
over the workers. Three additional
police emergency squads and several
police radio cars packed with cops ar
rived shortly. The cops leaped out OF
their cars and began to beat up all
the workers standing around.
Stanley Brights invalid wife was
dragged out Of her apartment after
her husband was placed under her
arreste and the furniture removed.
She was left lying on an old mat
tress in the middle of the sidewalk.
Only threadbare coat covered her
sick body.
