Backs Policy of British
Imperialism for
War Alliances

lated by German fascism is pictured
as spontaneous reaction of the
population; "the nervousness is
genuine; CD Indictment to war is
out of the questionable German
fascists are pictured as almost" as
peace loving as the British social
fascists; 90 and here is where the
social-fascist services for British
imperialism appear most markedly
and unashamed.
German re-armament must not
be looked upon as purely Ger
man problem" but as European,
as world problem. This is denla-
gogic paraphrase for the statement
that German armmaent must be
considered from the standpoint of
gaining Germany as an ally for
Britains imperialist policy in Eu-
rope and throughout the world. And
the policy that Britain pursues to-
day in Europe and throughout the
world is the winning of allies for
war against the Soviet Union,
The fascist German press imme-
diately reprinted this declaration of
British social-fascism, the Berlin
"Boersenzeitung" of May 9th, CIV
ing the Labor Party high praise.

''Daily Herald'' Receives
Fascists' Thanks for
War Support

THE British Labor Party (the So
l cialist Party of Great Britain)
is now beginning to support openly
the imperialist foreign policy of the
Macdonald national government
the core of which today is frank
support of German fascism and re-
arming the latter for war against
the Soviet Union.
The social-fascist leadership of
the Labor Party did not dare to
confess at the very beginning that
it too stood Internationally behind
its own bourgeoisie in the question
Of Germany's rearmament, because
there was and is mass sentiment
in England against German fas-
cism, which has been intensified in
fact during the past few weeks. The
admission of unconditional support
of this foreign policy was prepared
for slowly and now is eliminated
in the publication of a major ar
ticle on the situation in Germany
by the foreign editor in the Daily
Herald" the central daily organ of
the British Labor Party. This edi-
tor, w. H. Ever, poses as a par
ticularly cleft" radical, such as is
only required for such jobs.
Mr. Ewer's article Germany Arms
for War-But . in the Daily
Herald" of May Is says:

Germany is re-arming today. /.

On Strikers
In California
W Orkers Beaten and
Driven from County
To County

SAN FRANCISCO, June H.
Like herded cattle, corralled in
pens, beaten and slugged, 200
striking cannery and fruit work
ers, men, women and children,
we're driven from county to county
because they dared to strike for a
living wage.
The attack was conducted by
California ranchers, aided by state
police and local sheriffs. It was
directed not only against the Fruit
and Cannery Workers Industrial
Union, a militant class-struggle
union, but also against the work
ers of the A. F. of L. Cannery
Workers Union.
While the workers of the A. F. Of
L. union we're driven for days
around the country by armed,
mounted thugs, the leaders of the
A. F. of L. reposed quietly in Jail
at Martinez. Thirteen of the A.
F. Of L. leaders were picked out
and the 200 workers were then
attacked by the ranchers, sheriffs
and state police.
The workers were driven into
the corrals and then 100 officials
rode herd" on them as though
they we're steers. Driven from
country To country, fed haphaz-
ardly, forced to keep moving by
the thugs on horses, the workers
suffered terribly.
Governor Merriam, who took Of
flee recently, upon the death of
Governor Rolph, ordered an Gin
vestigation" of reports that state
police, whose sole duty is to care
for traffic, participated in the bru-
tai torturing of the workers. But,
said Merriam, the right to picket
is mo business of the governor"
That is up to the local authori-
ties"

Kaiser Germany was cynically
trifling with the Irish, using Ire
land as weapon against England,
deserving acknowledgements has
told us the story in his memoirs
at the last moment.
To-day we are building a new
kind of alliance with friends in
Germany. The fascist chief of Ire
land, ODuffy, borrows the shirt
and the foulest imperialist ideas
from Hitler, The Irish people, the
revolutionary working class and
small farmers, also look to Ger
many.
"But our friends there" Murray
continued amidst stormy APP
pIause, "are not the Hitlers, they
are the revolutionary working
men and women of Germany and
their leader, Ernst Thaelmann,
the Jim Connolly of Germany.
Standing together against this
shirt menace, Irish and German
workers, with the workers of all
lands, can drive the Hitlers and
O'Duffys off the face of the earth
and rescue the Thaelmanns from
the executioner's axe"
kilograms demanding Thael-
mann's immediate release were
sent to Hitler and his U. S. agent,
Ambassador Luther.

British Labor Party Paper Aids Nasi Arms Plans

have agreed that Germany has the
right to re-arm if the other powers
do not disarm. . 1t is difficult to
estimate how far its re-armament
has progressed already. I doubt
whether many of the prohibited
arms are already in its possession
insofar as actual war material is
concerned. But on the other
hand-with regard to troop con-
tingents-there is no doubt that ex-
tensive military training is going
on. Blu aside from the elite
guards and some special detach-
ments of the storm troops who are
to be incorporated in the Reichs-
wehr later on, I do not believe that
this training is of great Importance
from the military standpoint. 1
suspect that they are guided by the
idea rather of intoxicating discipline
rather than training soldiers. =.
THE question then arises: Why
all this if Germany does not
honestly want a warp There are
two reasons which one cannot help
realizing if one does any travelling
in Germany at all. The first is the
passionate desire for equality be-
fore the law Second, there is the
indisputable fact that Germany is
actually without protection and
surrounded by heavily armed neigh
bors. 1t would be useless to say,
but nobody will attack you No
other government recognizes such
an argument. What British govern
ment would be ready to disarm to
the level of Germany while the
other countries round about remain
armed? This evidently means-a

Consul Mystery"
Disappearance Lik e
One Just Before the
Manchuria Drive

TOXIC, June 12.-New depreda-
tons in China are being planned by
Japanese imperialism under the
cover of the Kuramoto affair. To-
day Foreign Minister Koki Hirota,
with the Cabinets consent, was au-
thorized to inform CHR that the
disappearance of Eimei W OTTO,
Japanese Consular Sc - at
Marking, was serious affair"
Last Friday Kuramoto saw the
Consul General off at the railway
station and he has not been heard
from or seen since. The Japanese
have ordered a battleship to Marking,
and are beginning to demand some
new concessions from the Marking
government on the basis of the
Kuramoto disappearance"
Toxic newspapers interpreted the
action of the foreign minister to
mean that if Kuramoto was not
found within a few days, Japanese
marines would be landed, and more
warships sent to Marking. This
disappearing" trick has been used
before by Japanese imperialism in
China, as it is one of the most con-
venient excuses for diplomatic pres
sure and for concentration of armed
forces at desired spot.
In Marking the Kuramoto Incl
dent is compared to the Captain
Nakamura case which preceded the
invasion of Manchuria. Nakamura,
japanese military spy, sent into
Mongolia to prepare for the inva-
sion of Japanese imperialists also
disappeared" 1t was claimed that
Chinese soldiers, discovering his
spying activities, shot him. This
was used as one of the excuses for
the invasion of Manchuria by Jap
anese imperialism.
