REVOLT SPREADS
AS CUBAN REBELS
SCORE SUCCESSES
Machado Troops Join
Well-Armed Rebels

HAVANA, Cuba, May 1e-The re-
volt spread today from Santa Clara
and Camaguey Provinces, with a
clash between rebels and Machado
forces in the village of Omeja in
Oriente Province. The insurgents
seized a Rural Guard post and car
ried off all arms and ammunition.
Between rs and 100 have been kill
ed in sanguinary skirmishes near
Sancti Spiritus, center of the present
revolt, which is considered the most
serious armed revolutionary uprising
against the Machado regime since
the unsuccessful 1881 outbreak.
Government soldiers in various dis
tricts are deserving and joining the
rebels, according to a report from an
American sugar mill manager in Ca
maguey Province, who called for the
replacement of guard of Is soldiers
that had been guarding his mill and
had suddenly vanished.
All isolated government outposts
are being called in to avoid their
capture by rebel forces in the revolt
area.

years, taken part, to draw attention
to the necessity for universal disarm-
ament as an indispensable premise for
peace between nations.
"The Soviet Government itself pro-
posed and supported at Geneva def
mite projects for UNIVERSAL disarma-
ment, especially those which provided
for the utmost reduction -of arma-
ments, at the same time exposing
unworthy attempts to discredit the
idea of disarmament by exploiting 1t
in the interests of the national policy
Of some states against others.
THE Soviet Government also pro-
posed and supported measures aiming
at preventing or at least impeding
any kind of aggression or any attempt
on the part of any state to enlarge
its territory at the expense Of others.
''The Soviet Government has con-
Guided non-aggression pacts with
most of the countries with which IL
is in official relations and can there
fore only welcome your proposal for
the conclusion of a pact of nom
aggression by all countries.
1.-THE same may be said Of the
Soviet Governments policy with re-
gard to economic peace. 1t is common
knowledge that, bearing in mind the
economic interdependence Of coun-
tries in all continents, we proposed at
Geneva pact for economic nom
aggression. a
Aggression, whether military or
economic, on the part of one country
against the other, affects the interests
not only Of the two countries con-
cerned. but also Of all other countries,
by adding to the existing economic
chaos. The Soviet Government in
tends to continue its efforts in the
spirit of this policy. 1t will willingly
cooperate with governments inter-
ested in the realization OF such a
policy, whether at the Geneva Dis
armament Conference or at the Lon
Con Economic Conference"

KobayaShi was one of the most
prominent novelists in modern Japan,
many of his works having been
translated into several foreign Ian
guages.
He was arrested on February 20,
1888, and tortured in Tokyo police
station, in an effort to force him to
reveal the names and addresses of
Communist Party members. Four
hours after his arrest he was found
dead, with his skull crushed in and
his forehead branded with red-hot
iron. The day Of his murder has
been set aside in Japan as annual
Proletarian Cultural Day.

time belonged to Bolivia, and which
afe now a part Of Chile. Chile won
the war Of the Pacific and took from
Bolivia 10000 square miles Of nj
trate lands in africa. This district
had previously given Bolivia sea-
coast, which was now cut off.
For the last SIS years Bolivia has
felt this loss keenly and has looked
for an opportunity again to get an
outlet to the Pacific. The chief means
Of communication at present between
La Paz, capital of Bolivia, and the
outside world are the Antofagasta-
Bolivia Railway and the Arica-La
Paz Railway, both Of which run
through Chile. 1t is over these two
roads that Bolivia has been receiving
all Of its war materials and NUM-
lions. Under treaty signed in 1904
by which Bolivia officially coded the
province Of africa to Chile, Bolivia
was guaranteed free transit over both
roads.
1t is in order to stop this transit of
war materials to Bolivia that Para
quay, facing, facing economic and
military collapse, has made an Off
ciaI declaration of war. This will give
Chile, as neutral" country, an ex-
cuse for refusing to allow further
transit Of munitions over these two
roads.
Bolivia has notified Chile that an
embargo would constitute an abroga-
ton Of the treaty, and that it would
therefore reassert its claim to the
province Of africa. Should Bolivia
take this action, it would inevitably
involve Chile In the war.
The Object Of Paraguay's Deciara-
ton of War
AS long ago as March 6, the gov
eminent Of Paraguay passed a law
authorizing President Ayala to de-
clare war whenever he considered the
moment opportune. 1t Is hoped by
Paraguay that Argentina, which will
also become neutral" will place an
embargo upon foodstuffs, destined for
Bolivia.
Thus the menace Of war reaches
new stage, with the possibility of
all the countries of South America
being within a very short time forced
into war, through which the impe-
rialist powers and these bourgeois
landlord governments hope to find a
way out Of the catastrophe crisis.
The wars in South America be-
tween Colombia and Peru, and Bo-
livia and Paraguay, in which more
than 10000 have already been killed
and wounded, just as the war in the
Far East, are an organic part of the
present world situation in time
when capitalist sterilization has end
ed. We must redouble our efforts in
the struggle against imperialist war,
and carry this struggle to q higher
stage

A. B. C.-Peru group just as obviously
to the advantage of Paraguay.
When, last fall, the Paraguay army
was gaining victories and advancing
in the Chaco, the A. B. C.-Peru group
was silent. and the Commission of
Neutrals was frantically suggesting
arbitration. For the past few months,
during which time the army of Para
quay has suffered defeat after defeat,
it is the A. B. C.-Peru bloc which
has put forward the plans for arbit-
ration, Bolivia, at the instigation Of
the U. S. A., Is demanding that two
thirds Of the Chaco be handed over
to 1t, and that the remaining third
be submitted to arbitration.
The growing conflicts between
Great Britain and the U. s. A. have
been reflected In the growing antag-
onism between the blocs. Argentina
has On several occasions told
the Commission of Neutrals that the
latter's intervention lacked legal basis.
On Nov. 10, 1882, Argentina accused
the Commission of Neutrals of at
tempting to obstruct Intervention by
the League OF Nations. On Feb. 2,
Bolivia announced that it would not
entertain any proposals Of arbitration
from the A. B. C.-Peru bloc unless
they were made in collaboration with
the Commission Of Neutrals. The
York Times of March %, reported:
1T is said that the neutrals, especial
ly the Washington Government, are
maintaining a cool attitude toward
the A-B.C.-Peru efforts to bring about
peace between Bolivia and Paraguay"
On Feb. l, there took place In Men
doza, Argentina, an important meet
ing between the foreign ministers of
Chile and Argentina. At this meeting

cially constituted a permanent body
for the purpose of settling the Be-

ing attack on the Soviet I'm

hash, brought "up date"
with references to the trial of
the ro-Vickers' engineers,
of a similar article that APP
peared in the Hearst magazine
sections of Sunday papers in
August, 1880. In it such SLAM
ders are made as that DEER
jinsky, head of the "Cheka"
was poisoned by other Com
munist leaders, that the So
ciety for Cultural Relations is
a "Women's section of Red
Russia's Spying SYSTEM" and
that "swarms of homeless chill
dren serve as Ogpu SPIES" and
that the Ogpu carries on mass
execution of Russian workers.
We reprint herewith proof
that the pictures used by
Hearst to back up these lies
are faxed, and that they have
been once before exposed by
the Daily Worker as frauds.
This did not prevent the
Hearst editors from saving up
the pictures and printing them
again, a little later, as part of
a new Islander campaign
against the U. S. S. r. Another
picture used both times by

relief, in 1921.
