OFFENSIVE

MOSCOW, sept. IA secret
war agreement has been signed
between Germany and Poland
for Joint attack with japan
against the Soviet Union, says
cable to the japanese news
paper Asahi. from its London
correspondent.
This sensational dispatch from
London states that an influen-
tial person. well acquainted with
the situation, exposed the exist
ence of "A secret agreement be-
tween Germany and Poland re-
garding a joint attack on the US
SIR In ease of a Japanese-Soviet
war"
The Japanese newspaper re-
marks that considering the pres
ence of a united front of Germany
and Poland on the question of
an Eastern Locarno pact, the
changing situation OF Europe.

trance into the League of Ma

commenting on this report.
writes:
"Asahi is acting i'm the rather
unusual role for the Japanese
press-exposer of secret war pre-
parations.
However, the demonstration
seems strange only at first
glance. IL Is sufficient at least SUI
periicially to aequaint oneself
with recent information in the
japanese press in order to under
stand that press Is charged by
some circles" daily to inspire the
Japanese readers with the idea
that 1t is not the aggressive Ja-
pano-Manchurian circles who are
preparing to attack the USSR,
but that the USSR is preparing
to attack Japan or Manchuria.
And that In ease of such n con-
flict, the military task of Japan
will be extremely easy, partieu-
larly because Japan is not alone,
and military assistance will be
rendered her either by England
or Germany and Poland, or by all
of them together.
Seek to Hide Isolation
"Thus they try to conceal from
the readers the fact that never
before has the adventurous poll
cy of aggressive Japanese circles
led to such complete moral isola-
tion of Japan in world public OPP
inion as of late.
However, the Asahi's sensa-
tional report is also deserving OF
attention in another sense. IL is
interesting to note that the neg
alive attitude of the Polish and
German press towards the idea
of an Eastern Pact is serving, by
the way, as pretext to convince
japanese public opinion of the
presence of secret agreement
between Germany and Poland
in ease of Soviet-Japanese war"

lice court case. Whenever possible
the worker should have legal aid,
but police courts are conducted so
that often legal aid cannot be Sc
cured. This is especially true in
time of raids or mass arrests on the
picket line. The following informa-
ton is incomplete, but it will guide
the worker in defending himself.
When you are brought to court, a
complaint will be read and you will
be asked to plead guilty" or mot
guilty" Seldom is the charge brought
against you in court the real reason
for your arrest. And even II il Is,
YOU MUST PLEAD mot GUILTY"
Say these words very clearly, so that
the prosecutor cannot trick you into
a plea of guilty"
You may be tried Immediately or
the case may be "Set over" or Con
tinued," that is, postponed. You
must use your judgment here. If you
are ready, ask for immediate trial
when you plead. If you are not ready,
ask for time to prepare your defense.
Then demand that you be released
on your personal recognizance,"
without bail. If this is denied, ask
that the bail be set low.
If you have to stay in Jail, it Is a
mistake to ask for poStponement UNI
less you can help your defense. OF
course, If you can raise bail or bond
and win your release, It is better to
get Continuance" until legal and
mass defense is prepared.
Always demand jury trial. You
have a much better chance to
raise the class issue before a jury
than before one boss-owned judge.

PREPARE A FIGHTING WORKING
CLASS DEFENSE

Prepare for trial carefully, even
though you have an attorney. If you
are out on bond, it will be easy to
line up witnesses. If you are in Jail,
and are unable to contact the LID,
have some friend contact your wit
neSSeS. Also, you must prepare your
self by getting the real issues, those
connected with your working class
activities, clearly in mind. Make up
your mind just how to present them
best.
Don't go into court feeling that
you have no chance. A fighting, class
conscious defense, aided by a court
room packed with workers, will do
two things--it will expose the cops,
the prosecutor and the judge as
tools of the bosses, and it will force
them to release YOU.

that the increase is not due to any
one agency or state, but is we'll dis

states in which the company

wide depression, the life insurance

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March II.
The approach of spring means
check-up time to home owners, &C
cording to Henry A. Gardner, paint
research chemist, who advised prop
erty holders this week to make a
careful survey of siding, roofs and
porches, and take stock of damage
to exposed surfaces from harsh
weather and long neglect.
Discussing proper temperatures
for exterior painting, DR.. Gardner
said:
ANY temperature above 40 de-
grees is satisfactory, but the spring
months are especially suitable for
outside paint jobs. since there is
less likelihood of sudden extremes
of heat and cold"
With a brief tour of inspection,
the home owner can determine for
himself whether his property is
endangered by paint neglect. Dr.
Gardner pointed out. If painted
surfaces are glossy and smooth, the
dwelling place is well protected
against the elements.
But if the CLEAN has gone out
of the paint" he warned if the
surface is dry and chalk-like, 1t is
high time to call in a painter.
The forces of weather are in
sidious and relentless" DR.. Gardner
continued. To owners Of wood,
brick and metal structures, it would
seem almost as if some evil power
has a grudge against us mortals
and tried to tear down all We build.
Consequently, protection of yalu-
able property when the necessity
for protection becomes apparent is
no more than common sense. In
other words, when the right time
comes, it is wiser and far cheaper
to paint than to procrastlnate."

ment Also Available for
Carburetor Work.

Since the start of brake service
many new devices have been pat
ented that assure the motorist of
complete confidence when the need
arises to make a sudden stop.
Some service stations and medi-
OGRE garages. realizing that a profit
can be made by offering brake re-
pairing, have gone into the bust
ness. The average motorist, not
knowing what the requirements are
for proper brake adjustment, often
receives only a temporary brake job.
The service garage today making
a success of the brake business is
well equipped with the machines to
do the work right, such as the In
diana Carburetor and Brake Service
Company, 325 North Delaware street.

The Indiana Carburetor and

With the advent of spring a
