Pope Visits Famous

Corriere Della Sera, Milan. - The
Pope departed yesterday from his
custom when he was driven in the
papal coach from the Vatican to the
Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, upon
his final visitation to the faithful Ro-
man populace this year. The curtains
Of the vehicle were raised and the
windows open, which afforded the
throngs along the streets ample op-
portunity to behold and recognize the
pontifical countenance, wreathed in
placid and fatherly smiles. When his
car passed beneath the windows of
Signor Mussolini's official residence,
there was cordial salutation of
'Vivas" from the numerous persons
assembled there, which the Pope calmly
acknowledged by gentle inclination
of his head.

homage as the lowliest of priests in

Immense permanent buildings of

The thousands of inmates, who
have never been tried, will be kept

With fascist cynicism these i'm

Although the ordinary quarters are

LEAGUE CHACO
MEDIATION TO
BE WITHDRAWN
Bolivia Refuses to
Send Delegate
to Farley

BUENOS AIRES, July 26.-Nego-
tiations in the Chaco dispute over
which Bolivia and Paraguay are at
war are to be withdrawn from the
League Of Nations and resubmitted to
the ABCP argentina, Brazil Chile
and Peru. This Is the result of the
activity of Bolivia, backed by Brazil,
in refusing to appoint delegate to
the investigation commission which
is coming to Chaco without Bolivia s
consent.
Bolivia; in its declaration of war
on Paraguay, is backed by United
States imperialism, while Paraguay is
backed by Britain. In that area the
Anglo American antagonisms have
broken out into open warfare. Around
this struggle over the Chaco region
are taking place alignments Of other
South and Central American repub-
lies on one side or the other.
The Bolivian foreign office, work
ing closely with United States imper-
ialism, made the first assault upon
the League of Nations commission
that is coming to investigate" the
war. From La Paz, the Bolivian for
eign minister sounded out the ABCP
powers ten days ago and suggested
that the dispute be kept in South
America" by resubmitting it to those
powers. Brazil Immediately came
out in favor for the proposal. But
Argentina and Chile accepted it quite
coldly. However, they are placed in
such a position that if they refuse
the opposition forces in their own
countries, backed by United States
imperialism, will raise the cry that
these governments are in favor OF
placing the destinies of South Amer
lea in the hands of European diplo-
mats. Thus Brazil was able to Sc

Chinese Join Natives
in Philippine Struggles

uOILO, P. L, July 27.-After a
four-day strike, 1870 Philippine taxi
cab drivers won an increase in wag-
es. When they returned to work,
however, the employers refused to
pay the promised increase.
They struck again, this time join
ed by many others who had not
struck before. Inspired by this &C
ton, $50 tobacco workers went out
against a wage cut.
The Chinese workers Of the Island
of Cebu, who have hitherto been
used by the bosses to play off
against the Philippine workers, To-
menting race hatreds and attempt
ing to use them as scabs against the
native workers, have joined the
Visayan Federation Of Labor, revo-
lutionary union, and pledged them
selves to struggle side by side with
the Philippines, despite the fact
that they face special police bru-
tally and deportation. Alarmed by
this unity, the Chinese bourgeoisie
raised a fund Of 1000 pesos to hire
scabs and police, but the Chinese
workers are nevertheless standing
solid with the Philippines.

BALKAN WORKERS
SENT TO DEATH
in MASS TRIALS
Prisons damned With
Workers and
q Peasants

BUCHAREST, Rumania, July 81
An appeal to workers the world over,
to help the struggle against intensi-
fled white terror in the Balkans, has
been issued over the signatures of the
International Labor Defense sections
of Greece, Rumania, Bulgaria, and
Yugoslavia.
In the Balkan countries, the pris-
ons are damned with political pris-
oners," the appeal states. Every day
there are political interrogations
which indicate the preparation Of
new mass trials such as the mon
strous trial of 100 railway workers at
Bucharest
Mass trials of rebellious peasants
occur almost daily in Croatia, and
sentences of death and of 10 to 20
years Imprisonment passes. Many
death sentences have followed brutal
persecution OF militant workers and
peasants in Macedonia, and among
other oppressed peoples in the Bal
kans.
"A dozen death sentences were pass
ed in two months in Bulgaria, be-
sides the unknown number of mur-
ders which have occurred, especially
during the two days state of siege,
June 25 and IS.
1.-THE prosecutions against support
ers of the anti-war movement and
the cruel sentences against soldiers
are indisputable proof of the fever
ish preparations for a new imperial
ist war, war against the Soviet
Union.
I'VE call upon all toilers for mass
protest under the banner of the In
ternational Red Aid against the wave
of terror in the Balkans. In the
great international struggle against
fascism and white terror the follow
ing demands must be raised:
Release for all prisoners held since
the recent macs arrests in Bulgaria
and other Balkan countries, and all
political prisoners in the Balkans.
Release Dnlitrov, Popov, Tanev,
Torgler. and Thaelmann, and all 9TH
