Before concluding, we must empha-

the interests of world Imperialism,
by disarming the vigilance OF the
world proletariat in defense Of the
U.S.SR, through virtual assurance
that it is in no danger Of attack from
Japanese imperialism or needs no help

Nazi Lawyer Sent

Arson Trial Shows
Especial OF the Daily Worker,

AT THE GERMAN FRONTIER,
Nov. "a (via Zurich, Switzerland) =
A Nah lawyer named Wolff, posing
as an author writing book on pri-

in prison, it was revealed today, on
the forty-third day Of the Reichstag
arson trial.
This secret agent came to the pri-
son without the knowledge Of DR..

Torgler said, "I hope the court will
draw its own conclusions" and Din1it-
rolf protested vehementIy against
these frame-up methods of the pro-
secution.
The prosecutor at this point be-
came enraged and charged that d.
mitrof "misrepresents."
A witness, Meyer, testified that he
left the Communist Party before
March, 1888. because 1t was getting
too dangerous"
Three walters from the Aschinger

charges that the conformation with
walters was deliberately sabotaged by

conformation. Identification" eight
months later is obviously ridiculous,
he pointed out. The three walters
were uncertain whether they saw
Popoff and Taneff on the night Of the
fire, but did admit It's probability"
Another jailbird witness for prose-
cution, Weinberger, now serving a
sentence for bribery, testified that he
met Popoff in prison. Popoff, he said,
told him he hadn't participated in
arson, but feared sentence for high
treason, and manipulating foreign

Rising Struggles of

Especial to the Daily WOrker)
HAVANA, Nov. 24.-As q result o.
the rapidly rising revolutionary &C.
lions of the masses, the Grau San
Martin government is rapidly pre-
pairing for open war and suppression
against them.
The government has already bought
100000 hand grenades for street
fighting.
Today 1t was announced that the
overnment had ordered 16 armored
tanks and thousands of gas-bolnbs
from British armament firms.
All these instruments are especially
adapted for street fighting.
Revolutionary organizations are
mobilizing the masses for protest
against the expenditure of govern
ment funds for war purposes while
hundreds of thousands of workers and
peasants are starving.
So great has been the pressure OF
mass protest against the recent raid
on the Confederation National (revo-
lutionary trade union group, by Ser
geant Chamizo, and the arrest of
Cesar Villar that the government
continues to make lame excuses, even
going so far as to promise a court
martial trial for Chamizo, for I'M
warranted attack on the workers CEN
ter. It is well-known, however, that
Chamizo was ordered to proceed with
his attack by the government itself.
Stop Lockout
The wave of indignation and solid
arity which is rising all over the
country has already resulted in de-
feating the attempt of the tobacco
employers to declare a lockout.
Exceedingly. important is the de-
velopment within the Habana FEEDER
alton of Labor, the refornist union
controlled by renegade officials, where
the secretary of the organization, who
is at the same time president of the
Tobacco Transport Union, was forced
to resign as the Union decided to
affiliate with the revolutionary unions
in the Confederation.
Stop Evictions
After large teachers demonStra-
lions, the government was forced to
grant their demands.
The government has also been
forced to accede to the demands OF
tenants. The government extended
the moratorium on evictionS for an
other two weeks.
Hold Scottsboro Meetings
The Young Communist League
successfully arranged demonstra-
tons in front of all the American
Wall Street CornD2nY Offices, de-
handing the immediate release of
the Scottsboro boys. Many offices
were smashed by the demonstrators.
Among the offices affected are the
American Embassy WIvd SteaIl-
shin Line, the United Fruit. the
United Light and Gas Company,
and many Others.
The meetings were all timed TO
take place at the same time, THUS
preventing the police from being
able to make any arrests.
It is expected that this example
will soon be followed everywhere. A
wave of enthusiasm is spreading
among the poor and middle class
students for the Ala Izqueria, the
revolutionary student group, which
through its committees for free tut
ton, has gained it's demands in the
institute and the University
Yesterday a delegate of the Ma
tional Student League of the United
States addressed the Central Com
mittee of the Ala. On Saturday he
will speak at some big theatre in the
center of the city.

so sharply at rivalry with Japan as

would have his readers believe, that

Trotsky's Permanent Revolution" In
Reverse
According to Trotsky, in his article
In the Magazine Liberty" OF Nov.
IS, Japan is far from being country
of highly concentrated monopoly cap
italism, rotten and decaying and
threatened with the rising proletariat.
Trotsky has the nerve to assert that
1t is "the middle classes" that have
adopted aggressive foreign policies,
and that this was done before they
"cut the knot Of medieval serfdom
as result Of Historical conditions
and forces"
This serves only to underestimate
the imperialist designs Of japanese
imperialism in the Far East, particu-
larly at the present moment. AS an
ideologist Of counter-revolution, Trot-
sky is not interested in pointing out
that it Is not only the landlords anc
bureaucracy Of aristocratic origin, but
also the highly developed finance
capital, which is interrelated and In
partnership with the monarchy, ano
which subordinates to itself industrial
and agrarian capital, that is today
pushing the policy of foreign plumber
and oppression.
Therefore, Trotsky asserts that the
force which will ultimately wreck the
plumber plan Of japanese ruling
classes does not lie in the working
class Of Japan and its leader, the
Communist Party (Which, by the way
Is putting up a real Bolsehvik fight
against war and intervention. as well
as constant struggle against the
bourgeois-landlord monarchy of hun
er and terror). Trotsky sees the main
revolutionary danger" as coming
from the peasant masses. Read him

Unable to Balance
War Budget, Falls

PARIS, Nov. 24.-For the fourth
successive time since June, 1882, a
French Cabinet has fallen, due to
inability to balance the budget, swol-
len with war appropriations.
The French Chamber Of Deputies
today refused to give Premier Sarraut
a vote of confidence in his proposal
to reduce the wages of government
employees and further increase taxes.
Sarraut's ministry, less than a
month after it's formation on Oct. 81,
fell on the same issue as that Of his
predecessor, Daladier.
