Workers, Under Lash
of United Fruit,
Rebel
By DORA FUCKER

The workers and peasants of Costa
Rica have suffered intensified at
tacks on their standard of living this
year. The American United Fruit
Company, exercising direct control
of the country economically, and in
directly politically (the present Ri
cardo Jimenez regime, working hand
in hand with the United Fruit Com
pany), in an attempt to get out of
the crisis, has subjected the workers
and peasants to the most miserable
conditions.
Production has decreased by half
thousands of workers have been fired.
The agricultural workers on the
banana and coffee plantations re-
ceive a maximum of So week, and
the Negro workers, the most ex-
plotted, receive even less. The peasants
are forced to live on three colonies
($1.00) a week.
The attempted back to the farm

has been encouraging in an effort
to rid the towns OF the unemployed,
has met the opposition Of the work.
ers since the conditions Of the roads
are so poor, as to make marketing
profitless and the work on the farms
useless. In addition, the ever de-
creasing purchasing ability of the
workers and peasants, has greatly
affected the artisans who are con-
fronted with a situation wherein
they have products but no markets.

Soviet Army Sweeps Over Central China Region

quickly captured the towns of Wan
Yuan, Tung Kiang, Nan Kiang and
Pa Chung. A Soviet government
of the combined provinces of Szech-
unan-Shensi was established within
three months time. In the struggle
against the armies of the Kuomin-
tang, the cities of Pa Chung and
Tung Kiang were forfeited, but
again recaptured in a counter attack
in May.
In a furious b1tt1e against the
Kuomintang army on May Gath
near the city of Liu Lin Chi, the
Red Army crushed the main forces
of the war lord Tien Chung Yao.
The Red Army victory resulted in
the dissolution of ID regiments, the
entire humiliation of seven regi-
ments, and the seizure of 5000 rifles,
20 machine guns, so trench mortars,
and good supply of ammunition.

World Leaders Discuss
Situation in

BANFF. Canada, Aug. 15.-Sitting
here in secret session, leaders from
China. Japan, the United States,
Canada and other countries discus
sed the war situation in the East, at
the opening meeting of the Institute
of Pacific Relations.
The only country interested which
was not invited to take part in these
secret deliberations is the Soviet IN
ion. The only point on which the
conferees agree is their common
hatred of the Soviet Union.
The japanese occupation of Man
churia, the sharp economic conflicts
between Japan and the United
States, and Great Britain and Japan,
the naval race of all three powers,
and the potent racial ambitions of
repressed nationalities' were on the
agenda.
Newton D. Baker, former U. S.
Secretary of War, set the tone of the
discussions when he said, War is
today more incorrigible than ever.

and their military expenditures
wrung from the peasants by the
cruellest means. At Use Chow the
crop revenue has been collected 80
years in advance, or up to the year
1861. In Shang Liu, in the ten
month period ranging from August
1st up to the present, a field tax
of nine years has been collected.
Besides the incessant militarist wars,
the peasants have suffered terribly
from floods.

On May %, several hundred work
ers and peasants from outlying vii
lagos Of Costa Rica, under the lead
ership of the Communist Party, held
militant demonstration in San
Jose, demanding relief for the unen1-
ployed and minimum salary for
the employed.
No sooner had the workers and
peasants assembled before the Com
munist Club in San Jose, from which
they were to march to the Congress
sional Building, then the police,
mounted and on foot, fell upon the
workers and peasants, attacking them
with sabers and sticks. The militancy
of the demonstrators was high. They
closed their ranks and in body re-
sisted the well-armed forces of the
government. The police drew their
guns and fired. Five workers were
seriously injured. The demonstrators
attacked the horses of the mounted,
and fought open-handed the police
on foot--knocked the sabers and
sticks out of their hands and kept
them for their own defense. Five
policemen were injured, one of
whom died few days later as re-
suit of his wounds.
Word of this militant demonstra-
ton had spread and a seething rest

were injured. Ambulances came on
the scene to take the injured away.

PEIPING, Aug. 15.-The Japanese
army has now occupied Dolon Nor,
in Chahar province, the railhead on
the road to Inner and Outer Mon

called Christian general who by
agreement with the Japanese held
Dolon Nor with his army to pro-
vide the Japanese with an excuse
for moving a strong force westward

ing, and from there to Tientsin, on
his way to Shantung province where
he says he will retire, and live in

BALTIMOR Aug. 15.-Many
italian sailors and cadets from two
Italian naval training ships docked
at the foot of Broadway joined the
audience at an anti-Fascist meeting
on the waterfront here last Friday
night, under the auspices of the
Communist Party.
Several attempts to disrupt the
meeting failed due to the large
number of militant seamen present.
italian workers interpreted the
speakers words to the visiting cadets.
Governor Ritchie and Mayor Jack
son of Baltimore have been giving a
royal reception to Admiral Romeo
Bernotti and the other officers of
the two ships, but only the militant
workers were interested in giving a
proletarian reception to the 400 sail
ors and cadets.
Leaflets in Italian, exposing Amer
lean and Italian Fascist imperialism,
were distributed among the seamen,
most of whom come from proletarian
and poor peasant families.

government utilized this moment to
deport from the country one of the
most militant leaders of the revolt
tionary movement, Adolfo Brana, a
Spaniard, who had married Costa
Rican Is years ago and ever since
resided with his family in San Jose.
He was not at the scene of the DEM
onstration on May 22nd, but had
gone to Turrialba, little town of
Costa RIGA, to address meeting of
peasants and workers. The govern
ment officials ignored their own law
which entitled Brana to remain in
Costa Rica, by virtue of his having
married a Costa Rican and having
had children with her, and arbitrar-
lily deported him within twenty -four
hours after the demonstration.
In addition, they deported Juan
Palacios, not member of the Com
munist Party, but militant worker
whose birthplace was Venezuela.
Terror Reign Sets In
Thereafter the terror set in. All
meetings and gatherings of the Com
munist Party were prohibited-its
publications banned. Police doubled
their efforts to locate all the menu

Communist Party, particularly Ro-
