CHILE CONSCRLPTS
SUPPORT TOILERS
Communism Grows in
Army and Schools

The growing anti-war sentiment
of the toiling Chilean masses are
causing great embarrassment to the
war preparations Of the Chilean Gov
eminent. The government decided
yesterday not to call this years quota
of conscripts for military service "as
a result Of discovery Of Communistic
propaganda among the recruits at the
Valparaiso garrison" The govern
ment intends instead to call for VOL
unteerS from the bourgeois youth and
those elements of the petty bour-
geoicie who have not yet lost faith
in the capitalist way out" of the
crisis which is having specially dew
astating effect in Chile. The volun-
teers will be picked carefully Sin Or
der to prevent further infiltration of
Communists into the army"
The governments decision followed
a secret meeting Wednesday between
representatives of the Chilean and
Argentina government on the unde-
clared war between Bolivia and Par
aguay. The Argentina bourgeoisie are
known to be preparing to enter the
war on the side of Paraguay, as part
of the British bloc of puppet South
American governments in the armed
conflict U. S. and British imperialists
are waging through their South Am
erican puppets. Throughout South
America, the toiling masses are an
swering these war preparations with
increasingly militant anti-war &C
tons and support for the South Am
erican anti-war Congress to be held
Feb. % at Montevideo, Paraguay.
The Chilean government also dis
missed 100 school teachers yesterday
on charges of Communist agitation
in the schools Reports of recent
meetings of teachers at Antofagasta
and Conception state the teachers
have openly refused to carry out the
governments latest plans for COM
batting the rapid growth of revolu-
tionary sentiments among the un-
derpaid teachers and undernourished
children

US. FOR PUPPET
IN WAR DRIVE
Supports Colombia in
Drive Against Peru
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Colombian puppets to effect that con-
troll for U. S. financial interests.
s. lnson then proceeds to praise the
"peoce efforts" of the Brazilian Gov
eminent which, in the main, repre-
sents the mobilization Of huge Bra
lillian naval and military forces on
the Peruvian border and permission
to Colombia for the untrammeled use
of Brazilian waters the Amazon
River by Colombian warships and
transports advancing on the Let
icia region.
Brazil Joins U. S. Bloc
Stimsors endorsement of the Bra
lillian peace efforts" is proof that the
U. S. imperislists have been victorious
over their British rivals in the strug-
gle to win Brazilian adherance to the
U. S. bloc of puppet governments.
Washington also scored another vic
tory over the British yesterday at
the League of Nations conference of
10 powers in securing the formal sup
port of the conference for its Col
ombian puppets. The League, which
has failed to stop Japans robber war
on China, is to join Stimson in his
hypocritical gesture of "averting"
war.
Meanwhile one of the bloodiest
battles in the Chaco region enters its
seventh day, as the Bolivian army,
supplied with arms from the United
States, continues to press its often
sive against the Paraguayan forces.
Casualties during the first four days
were reported at $500, including
killed and wounded. The ground be-
tween the two opposing forces is
piled high with dead and dying. No
reports have been made of the cas-
ualties for the past two days, but
these are expected to be increasingly
high as a result of the growing in
tensity of the battle.
The war is threatening to engult
the whole South American continent,
with the governments of Argentina,
Chile and Uruguay lining up in the
British bloc, while Brazil is mobiliz-
ing to support the U. S. bloc of Boil
iyia, Colombia and Ecuador. With
the growing sharpness Of the strug-
gle between U. S. and British i'm
perialisms over the war debts, mark
cts and colonies, the two bandit pow
ers are more and more openly insti-
eating the spread of the armed con-
flicts in South America. The threat
of new world imperialist war is
menacing the interests and lives of
the working class throughout the
whole world. We must answer with
intensified activity in support Of the
anti-war Congress to be held at
Montevideo, Uruguay, Feb. 20.

j. s. SHARPENS
FIGHT ON BRITAIN
Demands Concessions
on War Debts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Wall
Street Government today sharpened
its offensive against its British rivals
demanding trade and other conces-
Sions in exchange for any downward
revision of the British war debt to
the U. S., and at the same time at
tempting to force Britain back to
the gold standard in an effort to de-
prive the British OF their present
temporary advantage in the world
MARKHAM advantage secured by the
process of currency initiation through
which the cost of production has been
reduced, thus enabling the British
bosses to undersell the U. S. in the
world market.
Refuse Concessions.
The British Government, in accept
ing Roosevelt's invitation to send
delegates to a conference in Wash
1ngton in March, has rejected the
U. S. demands, refusing to make any
concessions to its U. s. rivals. In
making its Dec. Is payment on the
war debts, the British Government
stated that it would be its last pay
1aent on the old agreement. The
French and other European govern
ments which defaulted in the Dec
10 payments are reported standing
firm in their resistance to the U.
S. demands for payment of those in
stalnents and for concessions in ex-
change for debt revision. The Ital-
ian Government has offered a final
lump payment, which would wipe
out two billion dollars of the Italian
debt to the U. s. government
Call for Reprisals
Democratic and republican leaders
in Congress are calling for reprisals
against the debtor countries in the
form OF an increase in the already
high U. S. tariffs and for initiation
OF q. S. currency ito compensate for
appreciated currencies abroad Both
OF these proposals would further low
er the already starvation standards
OF the toll masses in this country
and are part of the bosses scheme
to increase the price OF commodities
by securing monopoly of the domestic
market for the American bosses and
reducing the purchasing value of the
dollar. This also means a sharpen
ing OF the present bitter tariff and
trade war increasing the danger of a
new world slaughter.

BULLETIN

BULLETIN
SPRINGFIELD, I'LL, Jan. 26.-
The conference on unemployment,
meeting here, forced the release of
the nine workers arrested yesterday
when state troopers and police at
tackled delegation which tried to
see Governor H0rner.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 26-Gov-
ernor Horner, newly elected Demo-
cratic Governor of Illinois, yester-
day showed the Democratic Party'S
relief program in action, when he
ordered state troopers to club and
forcibly eject so delegates who came
to present the demands of tens Of
thousands of starving unemployed in
this state This is the same Horner
who was so highly praised by Norman
Thomas, Socialist Party leader, when
he visited him a few days ago.
The delegation of so was elected by
more than 500 delegates at the state
conference on unemployment which
met here Tuesday and yesterday.
These delegates included members
of the United Mine Workers, the Pro-
gressive Miners, the Ladies Auxiliary
of the Progressive Miners, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the I'm
employed Councils, the Communist
Party, the Young Communist League,
the Young Peoples Socialist League
and many other organizations, repre-
senting more than $50, 900 workers and
poor farmers throughout Illinois.
Police Follow Delegation
The spokesman for the delegation
that went to see Horner were Carl
Lockner, secretary of the Cook County
Unemployed Councils; Tony Minerich,
representing the striking coal miners
of southern Illinois; Martha Yurkshat,
a member Of the Young Communist
League, representing the young work
ers of Bend; and Sol Larks, of the
Young Peoples Socialist League.
AS the delegation went into the
Governors Office, they were followed
by dozens of police, state troopers and
detectives, with reserves kept hidden

over the fact that the oppression Of
the Negroes is one of the props OF
American capitalism which cannot be
overcome without a furious struggle
against capitalism.
Communists Fight for Food.
The Telegraph is forced to admit
that the Communists are leading the
struggles of the starving masses fol-
food and clothes and shelter" II
further admits that "the danger Of
overthrow is not from outside propa-
ganda" and so on. We ask: Danger
to whom? Danger only to the capt.
talist rulers. The same force Com
munism-that represents danger tc
the capitalists-represents the only
hope of the exploited masses.
The editorial follows:
Shameful Verdict.
If we believed that Angelo Hern.
don, the Negro Communist from Gin
cinnati, would have to serve any part
of the sentence of 18 to 20 years inn
posed upon him in Atlanta afr his
trial there on statute enacted il
1870, we should deplore his conviction
Indignantly. We deplore it anyway
but with the reservation that we hopt
he appeals it and that In the appea.
the Georgia courts, and if not they
the United States court, will speai
out in vigorous terms on such stat
ute as that under which he was con-
Yicted.
1t is no credit to the State of Geor-
gia that man should be given such
terrible sentence-indeed, ever
any sentence-upon the charge o
'inciting to instruction" when III
possesses literature of the Commu
mist Party, which was duly registered
in this state in the election last year
1t is absurd for responsible officials
Of the State of Georgia to pretend
that the majesty and dignity of the
state are in peril at the hands of
19-year-old Negro boy.
Undoubtedly there was about it tho
element of teaching a Negro a les
son." as the attorneys for Herndor
charged. A statute that was So years
old was raked out of the dusty law
books as the basis for a grand jury
indictment. The law itself repre-
sented the thinking of other days and
conditions of other days. 1t repre-
sented time when it was necessary
to repress Negroes by violence. We
in this day ought to know that the
best way to keep any people, Ne
groes or whites, in good relations to
each other is to deal fairly and live
justly toward each other. 1t is not
necessary to resort to repressive
measures. 1t is something of which
all Of us white people ought to be
ashamed: that the dignity of our
courts could be used for such a far
cical purpose as to protect us from a
Red army that would march in to de-
stroy our civilization"
After all, those who stupidity use
our courts for such purposes ought to
keep in mind that the ultimate pur-
pose of Communism is to provide
enough food and clothes and shelter
for oppressed people and that the
danger, is not from outside propa-
ganda, but from fathers who look
into the faces Of pinched and hungry
children and mothers who are not
able to protect their children against
the most intense of all suffering, the
suffering from cold.
The Telegraph hopes that the sup
RENE court of this state will substi-
tute common sense for the Bourbon
ism Of the jury that tried Herndon.

in the other rooms. Lockner asked to
see the Governor, who appeared and
said he would speak to small COM
mittee a half hour later, but that
everybody else should leave. The del
egateS refused to leave and demanded
that the Governor speak to the entire
delegation. Horner then went back
into his Office and ordered the state
troopers to start the assault The
troopers brutally dubbed men, women
and young workers, Negro and white,
sitting in the reception room, forcing
them out of the building.
Resist MiIitantIy
The delegates resisted militantly
and saved their spokesman, Lockner,
from being beaten up and arrested
The workers walked out, singing Sol
idarity," and yelling: I'VE want bread
and unemployment insurance, not
clubs" Reserves were called and
motorcycle cops, detectives and patrol
wagons dashed up and again viciously
attacked the delegates. A Negro
worrsn who rushed to the defense of
white worker who was being beaten
was herself dubbed. White and
Negro workers fought side by side
showing real solidarity.
One detective said: "We'll beat you
up so we won't have to give you
relief"
Conference Hits Attack
Nine workers, five women and -four
men, were arrested. Lockner reported
back to the delegates at the confer
ence hall and pointed gu the signifi-
canoe Of the significance of the attack
a resolution was adopted condemnine

workers who are not citizens from
working as anthracite miners. This
would hit big proportion of an

tinues its refusal to reveal the prison
to whom Huang Ping, chairman of
the All-China Federation of Labor,
was transferred upon his arrival in
Marking two weeks ago in chains
and under heavy guard. They like
wise refuse to state the charges on
which he has been arrested. All

have been unavailing. In fact, it is
not even certain whether he is still
alive. The toilers of the whole world
are urged to intensity the protest
campaign, demanding the immediate,
unconditional release of this stall
Wart anti-imperialist fighter and
labor leader.

I'VE declare our sympathy with

I'VE demand the withdrawal of all
