Workers formed into companies and
joined the Red Army. The peasants
in North China raised the slogan
Communism is the gate and the Red
Army is paving the road't ~
Even the capitalist papers can not
conceal the fact that the Chinese
Red Army has recently gained new
victories in Szechuan, Hupei, KiangSi,
etc. Hankow and Nanchang, two Of
the most important cities in the
Yangtse Valley, are now beseiged
and soon will be taken by the Red
Army.
According to the latest report Of
the Chinese Workers Correspond
ence', over eight divisions of the Ku-
omintang army were completely de-
stroyed and 10000 Kuomintang SOL
diers captured during the first thres
months of this year. Mutinies occur
even in the best-trained Kuomintang
troops. Recently, two divisions OF
''Ircnsides' under General Chang Fa-
Kwei and 5000 soldiers of the IA

fight against the Workers and Peas

The growing anti-imperiahst move
ment, headed by the Chinese Soviets,
and their victorious Red Army, drives
the imperialists to ruthless murder of
the Chinese masses, to the direct
intervention in the Soviet districts

is also part and parcel of the inn

May 30th is the eighth anniversary
Of the beginning of the great Chinese
revolution for national liberation.
On May Both, 1925, the workers and
students of Shanghai staged a gil
gantic demonstration in protest
against the murder of a Chinese
striker by a Japanese factory in
speccor This was the first time this
type of demonstration had ever taken
place in the heart of the Interna-
tional Settlement. The British au-
thorities knew very well that the
growing antt-imperialist sentiment
Of the Chinese masses was not only
a danger to the Japanese interests
but to all imperialists. The British
police and troops took their toll OF
the demonstrators, numbering thir-
teen and wounding forty
This massacre evoked tremendous
wave of anti-imperialist struggle all
over China, and laid the foundation
upon which the Kuomintang launched
its successful expedition against the
northern militarists, thus extending
Kuomintang influence into central
and northern China.
Revolutionary Movement Grew Out
of Economic Struggle of Workers.
1t is especially significant that the
May 30th movement was started by
the economic struggles of the work
ers in Shanghai The Communist
Party of China quickly supplied lead
ership and the working class of
China demonstrated its ability to
lead the national liberation move
ment. The struggles were especially
bitter in Shanghai and Canton. A
general strike was declared in Shang-
hal. The famous Canton Hongkong
strike, involving more than one hun
dred thousand workers, continued for
fifteen months without interruption

ish imperialism, was nearly paralyzed

forced British imperialism to its
knees. The national bourgeoisie of

forced to join the general strike. But
the Chamber of Commerce stealthily
reduced the demands raised by the

CUBAN GOVT
UNABLE TO
HALT REVOLT
Successor Groomed by
Machado to Continue
Military Rule

HAVANA, May 26,-Faced BY a
rising tide Of revolt, the Machado
government has been forced to re-
call Major Arsenic Ortiz, notorious
Federal commander of troops oper-
ating against the rebels, for court
martial or exile on charges of muir
dering three employees of an Amer
ican-owned sugar central in Jatin-
bonico
Ortiz, whose terroristic murders in
Oriente Province lead to his indict-
ment by the civil courts more than a
year ago, has never been brought to
trial up to now for his countless
crimes. The Machado regime is try
ing to offer him up as a sacrifice to
appease the mass discomfort yelling
up throughout Cuba.
The Machado regime has con-
centrated large numbers of troops in
Santiago, capital of Oriente Province,
with three army planes and quanti-
ties Of bombs, in expectation that the
revolt wills Oon spread to the far
eastern end of the island
Rebel forces tried unSucceSsfuly to
capture the Rural Guard post at Las
Cuevas in Santa Clara Province, but
were driven off after a skirnish in
which two federal soldiers were
wounded.
Machado is already preparing his
successor in the Presidency against
the contingency that he will be
forced out. He has appointed Cen
eral Herrera, Minister of War, Acting
Secretary of State, and is reported
to be grooming him to take over the
Presidency, thus ensuring the con-
tinuance of the military dictatorship
now ruling the island.

imperialists. This finally led to open
betrayal Of the Chinese revolution
by the Kuomintsng in 1927.
Rise of Chinese Soviets.
Since then, the Chinese anti-im-
perialist movement unleashed by the
May 30th massacre has continued
and been raised to higher level I'M
der the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party of China. The Canton
uprising, in December, 1927, with the
establishment of the Canton Soviet,
which was drown in blood by the i'm
perialist Kuomintang forces, marked
the opening up of a new phase-the
Soviet phase of the Chinese revolu-
ton. Aftsr years of intensive strug-
giles, ninety million workers and
peasants have emancipated them
selves frcm the imperialist Kuomin-
tang yoke and put an end to the
semi-colonial status of one-fifth the
territory of China.
The Provisional Central Soviet
Government of China, on the eve of
its establishment on November 7,
193l-the 14th anniversary of the Oc-
tober northumberland TO the
world that the Soviet Power of China
is fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the proletariat of the world and all
the oppressed masses, and pointed to
the Soviet Union as its firm ally.
The establishment of the Central
Soviet Government of China formally
divided China into two camps: the
Kuomintang which endeavors to per-
petuate the enslavement of the Chi
nese masses by the imperialists, and
the Soviet Power which struggles for
the liberation of the whole of China
from imperialiSt exploitation and cp-
preston. The japanese invasion put
the policies of the two camps toward
the imperialists to another crucial
test.
Chang Kai-shek, though adopting
the "non-resistance policy" toward
japanese invasion, is still personally
directing the Communist suppression
campaign at Nanchang He made a
speech recently to his lieutenants
saying that discussion of resistance
to the Japanese invasion is not per-
missible until the Soviet districts are
cleaned up. This is another proof
of the complete and open betrayal Of
the Chinese anti-imperialist move
ment by the Kuomintang.
Chang Ka;-sfek Sells Out TO
Imperialists.
These Chinese masses realize that
Chang Kai-shek, in carrying his
nurderous attack against the Chinese
Soviets, paves the way for the Japa-
nese invasion and the carving up of
China by the imperialists. The Sow
let government of China declared
war against Japan more than a year
ago. In January this year, the Chi
nese Soviet government appealed
again to the workers and peasants
of China to arm themselves in a
united struggle against Japanese i'm
perialism, Offering its cooperation to
any army or detachment upon the
conditions that the attack on the
Soviet district cease, democratic
rights be granted all, and the masses
be armed to resist the Japanese in
vasion.
Victories of Chinese Red Army.
This appeal received an enthusi-
astic response from the masses all
over China. Recruiting campaigns
for the Red Army were carried out
not only in the Soviet districts but
among workers IN the factories of

Worker DenOunCes
Police Brutality

Wants Defense Corps
for Demonstrations
To the Editor of the

To the Editor Of the
Daily Worker:
I was one of the hundreds of
workers who participated in todays
demonstration against that bloody
butchers henchman, Weidemann, at
Pier 4, Brooklyn.
Although it was very militant
protest, yet it was very conspicuous
by the absence of many organiza-
tons who were !cheduled to tNke
part, according to the Daily Worker.
The Marine Workers Industrial IN
ion is one, for example.
When these Shiny yellow dogs, po-
lice, who call themselves New
York's Finest" noticed the weak
ness of the aSsemblage they at once
rushed into the crowd-about SO OF
these Brave Heroes who get gold
medals every year for heroic work
and started swinging clubs in Hit
Ter style, wherever they could reach
women, young girls, children, and
old women.
After these murderouS display these
workers down, these New York's
Finest would kick and curse at the
suffering and unconscious forms of
the ones whom they dubbed into
submission.
After thiI murderous display these
same rats with clubs swinging at
tackled an old man, about 60 years
old, until he dropped.
The workers present today were
all convinced very clearly that in
the future no demonstrations should
take place without first organizing
a Defense Corps to beat back these
towards and defend themselves
whenever attacked. Why shouldn't
American citizens defend themselves
in American style?
Hoping to see bigger and better
demonstrations, remain always

Hitler and the Fascist
Workers Congress of
Germany

Socialist Party in the postwar period,
we realize that the Socialist Party
tried to play that very role.
Only fools can believe that the
Fascists dissolved all the legal or
CARNATIONS of the working class to
bring pressure to bear upon the cap
italists. The FaScists dissolved the
unions to free the capitalists from the
pressure of the working class.
Glass Struggle Continues
Hitler's pretense of assuming the
role of mediator is confession that
the class struggle continues in Fas-
cist Germany-that the bourgeoisie is
using the Fascists as its tools to des-
troy the working class, and as another
institution to betray the workers once
again after the Socialists treachery
ended in such a fiasco
These words of Hitler are the old
and commonplace phrases used by all
bourgeois demagogues, ever since the
beginning of the working class's
fight against capitalism. The sole
new fact is that Hitler-after having
proclaimed to the whole world the
final destruction of Marxism' has
to employ these words again, while
they sound even more untrue from his
lips than from those of his prede-
ceSSors.
All the phrases of the "reconcilia-
ton of the working class and cap
italisn" are given the lie direct by the
facts, which demonstrate that it is
Fascism's job to destroy the working
class. That is why Hitler has less of
chance than the Socialists to hold
the working class back from revolu-
tionary struggle. Herr Hitler is ap-
pealing to the workers. But he knows
well enough that they will not listen
to him. Glasses cannot be destroyed

duction was valued at seven billion
