POLISH TEXTILE
STRIKE GROWING

WARSAW, Poland, April 23.--Dis-
patches from Bialystok report that
the textile strike there, which has
already lasted six weeks, is growing
more intense. A meeting of the
strikers took place a few days ago,
at which it was decided to extend the
strike to the whole district of Bialy-
stok. After the meeting the strikers
marched to the neighboring town of
Wassilkun, to pull the workers in the
textile factory there out on strike,
On the way, police detachments tried
to intercept the marchers, but de-
spite the police resistance, the work
ers reached Wassilkun, where they
entered the textile factories and per-
suaded the workers to join the strike.
Under the workers pressure, the
reformist leaders were forced to de-
clare one-day solidarity strike for
the whole Bialystok district.
The workers in the Czenstochowa
Paper Mills have gone on strike
against decrease in wages. They
downed tools but refused to leave the
factory

TRIES TO JUGGLE
ARGENTINE TRADE
Roosevelt Strives for
Anti-British Pact

WASHINGTON, May 2. = Another
phase of the worldwide conflict be-
tween the United States and Eng
land, involving trade relations with
the Argentine republic, was reached
today in the Roosevelt conferences.
There is at stake trade once worth
$3.50 100000 a year to the United
States. most Of which has. during the
past 10 years, gone to Britain
Little Chance OF Success
During that period, the Argentine
ruling class, leading an independent
political existence, has been able to
naneuver in its own interests be-
tween British and American antago-
nisms. AS a result Argentina has
gained more favorable conditions
from England while economic and
hence political relationships with the
United States have become strained
Tries to Build Alliance
During this time the Argentine rul-
ing class has tried, as the major
"ABC power" - argentine, Brazil,
Chile)--to form an economic and po-
llllCdI dllldlbE dSdillob LllC OliApCO
States high tariffs which bar prod
uets of those countries.
The Argentine delegates, Thomas
LIE Breton, the Argentine ambassador
to France who is the envoy to Roose-
velt's parleys, and Felipe Espil, the
Argentine ambassador to Washing
ton, are particularly enraged at the
barring Of frozen meat from their
country on the pretext that 1t might
spread foot and mouth disease. This
is regarded as an attempt to carry
on an international campaign to
brighten buyers Of the Argentine
product 1t is pointed out that the
charge of such meat spreading dis
ease is pure invention on behalf Of
the United States meat trust.
Argentine Fayors Paraguay
Involved in the discussions now go
ing on is also the question of the re-
sistance of Paraguay to United States
imperialist aggression in melting the
war of Brazil against that country.
England backs Paraguay and the Ar
gentine also aids Paraguay.

TOXIC, May although the pup

trolled 100 per cent by japanese ad-
visors and a Japanese army staff in
Manchuria, the japanese foreign Of
flee processes that Japan is not a
party to the serious dispute over the
ownership and management OF the
Chinese Eastern Railway.
The Japanese give the lie, however,
to their own denials by stating that
the 1924 agreement regulating the
management of the railway should
be revised to give Manchukuo greater
control" Japanese officials suggest
that "Manchukuo may close the line
to Russian through traffic pending q
satisfactory answer"
Japanese denials Of troop move
ments toward the Soviet border in
Manchuria are exposed as sham
by news arriving from Mongolia of
the Japanese occupation of the city
of Dolon-N Nor. The seizure of
Dolon-Nor cuts the Urga Railway,
which furnishes direct cGmmunica-
ton between Soviet Siberia and
Northwest China. Official American
dispatches from Chinwangtao report
that another brigade of Japanese
troops has passed the Great Wall en-
route to Mukden, and reliable adyices
indicate that all available japanese
troops are being concentrated in
Northern Manchuria.

Hitler Announces Forced Labor;
SEXES All Union Headquarters
All Union Officials
Turnout Germany
Are Arrested

I BERLIN, May 2.&Nazi storm
troopers raided and seized all trade
union headquarters throughout
Germany today. Trade union Off
Gals were arrested throughout the
country.
Storm troopers occupied the
premises of the German labor
bank, where most trade union
funds are deposited. Robert Ley,
Nazi Reichstag deputy, was in
charge of the offensive against the
trade unions.
All trade union newspapers and
publications have been placed I'M
der Hitherto supervision. The Nazi
factory organ will become the of
ficial newspaper Of the German
Federation of Labor.
The Nazis also seized all the
consumers co-operatiyes of the
working class, who have a tremen-
dous network of stores and fac
tories spread all over Germany.
Follows Socialist Treachery
This new Nazi onslaught is a
-sequef@ to1 the negotiations Of the
Socialist trade union leaders With
Hitler for the peaceful incorpo-
ration of the German trade unions
into the fascist regime. The nego-
tiations apparently were not NOV
ing fast enough for the Nazis, and
they summarily seized control Of
the trade union machinery
The fascists, aided and abetted
by Socialist, inaction and betrayal
of the workers struggles, may
seize the machinery of the trade
unions, but this does not mean that
the fighting spirit of the German
working class is broken. Strikes
are taking place all over Germany
everyday and the revolutionary
German proletariat will fight on,
and reconquer the trade unions
for the class struggle.

A Soviet Factory at Work

Nifty these difficulties and shout
from the housetops that they will not
be overcome, that the Soviet Union
is doomed to failure.
OF course, each of these gentlemen
does his work by the methods most
suited to his own particular role in
the service of the bourgeoisie One,
in an open fascist manner, calls for
intervention and boycott against the
s, u; the other in more refined"
way talks of the experiment that is
being made in Russia but whose sue
cess has yet to be shown" using rev
dictionary phrases to sugar-coat
their poison.
But what we have seen in this
factory, and what is true of the en-
tire country, is something quite diff
ferent; tremendous strides forward,
heroic successful efforts to overcome
all obstacles in the road Of eonstruc-
ton, and the building of Socialism.
Difficulties, hardships? Yes, many
of them. But we have seen what is
the nature of these; they are the diff
ficulties of growth, of tremendous,
immense growth, reconstruction, and
new building.
Russia prior to the revolution was
a peasant country with backward
and medieval technique" This back
ward country has the task TO catch
up and overtake" the highest tech
nically- developed countries in the
woodland to the joy of its friends,
the telling masses of the entire
world, and the disappointment and
rage of its enemies, this is success
fully being done.
Such tremendous job cannot be
accomplished without hardships and
difficulties But it is important to
understand, in the first place, the
nature of these hardships, and the
way they are being liquidated. The
factory we have examined answers
these questions The workers of every
country can easily understand all
these things. And, understanding,
they also know the supreme impor-
lance Of straining every effort to
help ward off the imperialst attacks
being prepared against the Soviet
Union and its socialist construction,
to mobilize the toiling masses for
decisive struggle against "its own
capitalist oppressors, and to follow
the road of the october revolution.

All around Red Square one could
read in a dozen different languages:
"Proletarians of the Worh March
under the banner of the feminist
Communist International"
Slogans Greet Foreign Communists.
Every now and then slogans would
be shouted: Greetings to the workers
of Britain and their Communist
Party" Long live the Communist
Party of France!"
Forty and fifty deep the masses
surged into Red Square with their
bands and banners from all districts
of Moscow. One striking feature was
many factories carrying high poles
bearing portraits of their best shock
workers. Dozens of factories carried
placardS bearing the words: @Rote
'FRONT.'" with the clenched fist of the
German revolutionary workers. 9th
ers carried samples of their work,
which they proudly carried in the
procession as proof that they were
doing their part to ensure that the
Second Five Year-Plan will mean
qualitative as well as quantitatiye
improvement of production.
Hour after hour the Moscow mas
ses marched through the square.
Three o'clock, four O'Clock, five o.
clock-they still poured in Almost
certainly six and seven o'clock would
hardly see the end of the parade.
AS | left the square before the end
of the demonstration I found the
whole city covered with winding
snakes of columns of demonstrators
marching to and from Red Square.
The truly international proletarian
character of the whole demenstra-
ton was typified in Voroshilovs
speech, in which he extended greet
ings to the Red Army and to the
workers peasants and toilers of the
Soviet Union and the whole world.
He reminded the Red Army men
that May Day was a festival of In
ternational significance and that they
must always remember that they
serve the workers cause. He then
called on the young soldiers to re-
peat after him the oath of allegiance
to the workers state which they did
enthusiastically. He concluded:
i"Long live the World Revolution"
Mass games, dancing, and physi-
cal culture exercises were organized
in all of Moscow's open spaces as the
demonstrators returned from Red
Square.
Col. Robins Impressed by Red Army.
Colonel Raymond Robins, who
watched the giant May Day parade
in Red Square, described the DEM

to me to be powerful arm for the

Continued from Yesterday

The leading comrades in the fac
tory, however, are not entirely salts
fled with what has been accom-
plished in improving the material
and cultural conditions of the work
ers. AS yet, they explain, not all
workers can live in the factory apart
ment houses because there are not
at this time sufficient rooms.
This means that it is necessary to
build more houses. It is necessary,
they point out, further to increase
the earnings of the workers, which
are now on an average of 300 rubles
per month.
ut must be remembered that,
beside the money wage, there is,
closely interconnected with it, $50
cial wage"-social Insurance, cultural
provisions housing, co-operatives
with special low prices, vacations,
etc.-which usually equals or ex-
ceeds the money wage.) The cultural
life. the comrades explain, must be
even more greatly improved.
The material and cultural condi-
lions of the workers in the Soviet
Union are always kept in the fore
front. improvements are daily being
made. But the January Plenum has
laid special stress on this point De-
cisions are taken here very seriously,
and are put into effect. The comrades
in the leadership of the plant, there
fore, pay the strictest attention to
the carrying out of this decision to-
gether with the others. They express
assuredness that within short time
the requirements of the Plenum re-
garding this issue will not only be
fulfilled but exceeded.
What is the attitude of the workers
regarding the execution of the deci-
sions, regarding the entire work and
life of the factory?
1t is a well of enthusiasm, that
flows from deep understanding of
the decisions of the January Plenum
and the problems confronting the
country. The workers know and feel
that the country and the plant are
theirs. Being concerned about the
problems facing the country and
their plant means being concerned
about their own lives, their own we'll
being. One gets from the workers
such answers as the following TO

questions about these matters;
THE factory, you see, the country,
this is our factory, our country, our
life. Why, if we raise the produe-
tiyity, If we cut the cost of produe-
ton, when we improve the quality
of our products, So much do we help
to build our socialist country; SO
much do we enrich our own lives,
our material and cultural conditions.
OF course, we are most interested in
carrying out the decisions of the
January Plenum, and We are doing
our utmost to accomplish it as quick
ly and in Che shortest way possible"
Such are the answers one gets ev-
erywhere in the factory. The workers
do not hide the facts which show
that everything is not yet perfect.
But these" they explain, "are our
problems, and we will solve them
by building up our socialist country"
The workers feel and deeply re-
spect the iron leadership of the Boil
sheyik Party in the country as
whole, and in the plant. They see in
the Party the only leadership that
was capable of achieving the ire
mendous successes in the first Five
Year Plan. They know that only by
following the leadership of the Len
mist Party can the second Five Year
Plan be fulfilled.
This is why the January Plenum
decisions are looked upon by the
workers as iron rules to be observed
and carried through in life. This is
why there is such great determine
ton on the part of the workers in
the plant to carry through the jan
uary Plenum decisions.
We have gone into detailed exami-
nation of the problems and hard
ships confronting the factory on the
road to reconstruction, of contribut-
ing its share towards the building Of
Socialism. We did this because the
problems and hardships confronting
this factory are characteristic of the
country as whole. The way these
problems are met and solved in this
factory is also characteristic Of the
entire Soviet Union.
The enemies of the Soviet Union,
beginning with Matthew Vol and
Ham Fish, and ending with the Rev.
erends Norman Thomas and A. j.

ships of the Soviet Union. They mag

ChAPAOytASs
Hitler said that the forced labor
plan will be carried into execution
before the end of 1898. The Nazi
press had announced that Hitler
would give the details Of his widely
advertised -Four Year Plan" which
he proclaimed when he took office
But even bourgeois foreign cor
respondents were forced to admit the
''meagerness of Hitler's economic
program"
No Enthusiasm
Hitler spoke of "a giant program
requiring billions Of marks" for road
construction and other public works,
but gave no indication of where the
money for this visionary project was
to be found. Hitler's speech evoked
but little enthusiasm among his
hearers, although he endeavored to
rouse chauvinist nationalism against
the rest Of the world. The fascist
chancellor made pathetic appeal-to
German business men "to give work
to the unemployed" That was Hit
lers contribution 10 the problem OF
unemployment.
In the meanwhile, Germanys eco
nomic position grows worse and worse
under the Fascist regime. T h e
monthly bulletin of the Deutsche
Bank admits that a number of in
dustries show marked decreases in
production sin consequence of recent
political events. In the foreign mar
kets, orders from Eastern Asia have
been wholly suspended. The electrical
industry complains bitterly of stag

railways and the Post Office about
which there had been much publicity
are stated to have been thorough

worse" under the influence of poll
teal insecurity"
Fear Financial Panic
Nearly all the German press is pub
fishing articles and titles: mo danger
for German investors" It is obvious
that all German newspapers have re-
ceived orders from the government to
calm the people and avoid financial
panic. An interesting commentary on
the initiation policy of the Reiehsbank
is that the Reichsdruckerei (where
German currency is printed has fired
all its old workers and is hiring Nazis
to take their place, to ensure secrecy
regarding its operations.
Herr Poensgen, one of the heads of
the Steel Trust states: We are quite
bewildered at the turn of events. II
it goes on like this, then We are driV-
ing towards economic and political
catastrophe"
Even the New. York Times cores
pondent in Berlin admits that the
fascist regime has failed to outline
any definite economic program. He
continues, Marshall music and end
less parading serve temporary re-
quirements, but the effect does not
last. Ultimately, that basic economic
issue must be met with a satisfactory
economic program, no vestige of
which is in sight"
No Program
He admits that no progress Is
being made inside Germany toward
the fulfillment Of the crucial promise
Of better times. The unemployment
figures show slight decrease, but
this is illusory." He points out that
tens of thousands of workers impris-
oned in concentration camps are not
listed as unemployed, while the
thousands Of revolutionary workers
and Jews thrown out of employment
have had their places taken by Nazi
workers whose names have been
stricken from the unemployment rolls.
He concludes significantly "Then the
figures do not mean much"
Industry is certainly not picking
up thus far Factory chimneyS are
still smokeless and machinery still
stands idle. Empty buildings cannot
pay taxes for long. Closed industries
are Improbable undertakings and
also become improbable. Tax money
is needed to carry out the grandiosa
Nazi schemes. Upon these schemes
depends the fulfillment of the basic
Nazi promise. And upon its fulfill
ment ultimately depends Nazi con-
tinuances,"
Germany is in the throes of a vio-
lent crisis made even more severe by
the fascist upheaval The fascist
henchman of a dying capitalism
whose bible knows only the use OF
terror and sadistic torture, find
themselves unable to cope with the
speoter of growing economic disor-
ganization and widespread distress
And in this crisis, Hitler's solution for
the millions of Germany's unem-
ployed is unpaid conscript labor and
the smashing of the German trade
unions
