Naval Treaty

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Indications
that the Japanese delegates to the
Naval Conference here were about
to issue statement renouncing the
Washington Arms Pact, which for
thirteen years has given American
profiteers and Imperialism more adj
vantages than the profiteers of any
other country, is already acting as
a factor in increased war prepare
tons everywhere.
Reports from Japan give startling
figures of war activity there, which,
although in no way comparable to
the aggressive and enormous war
program of the Roosevelt admins
tration, is significant of the war
budgets of every imperialist power.
The sum allotted for military pur-
poses is 131 per cent larger than
the amount of war fund set aside
before the Manchurian conflict and
larger than the entire budget of 1881
For the relief of the terrible calami-
ties which have overwhelmed the
peasants and farmers in Japan, and
which in money alone runs into
half a billion dollars, only the mis-
cradle sop of $21 100000 has been
included in the budget.

Silk Workers Need A Netv
Leadership

CUPPORT of the Rank and File program
~ at the Second Convention of the Fed
Grafton of Silk Workers was sufficient to
place the convention on record for num-
Der Of progressive measures. The small
but energetic group of militant delegates won the
election of member on the National Executive
Board
However, on many of the most essential ques-
tons facing the convention the reactionary official
dom of the union still showed its deadening grip.
In face of the present general wage cutting drive of
the employers the resolutions calling for setting
date for a general strike was defeated. Instead
confidence is to be continued in the Labor Rela-
tionS Board, and the results of the Winant report
are to be awaited. The resolution condemning the
treacherous manner in which the recent General
Strike was terminated was also defeated and the
convention again placed control of the union in the
hands Of the same reactonaries,
1t would be a serious mistake to think that be-
cause the convention has endorsed a reactionary
policy and placed reactionaries in office it is i'm
possible to develop a fight against the wage cuts,
or to organize the silk workers. 1t certainly be
done This, in fact is the primary task before all
militant workers in the industry and especially the
Communists, who must give the leadership.
The officialdom in whose hands the organiza-
ton placed again are neither going to- nor are
Uney aole 10, pulio the union ana LEAD struggle.
The workers will never forget how they betrayed
the last strike and left them in an even worse posi-
ton. This is why thousands have been leaving the
union, or refuse to pay dues or attend meetings
since the general strike
Only new, honest militant leaders can gain their
confidence. AS in Paterson they are repudiating
the old line officials New honest leaders from the
ranks are coming to the fore 1t is these who can
bring into life the program of organization which
has been adopted at the convention and prepare
the workers for a nationwide struggle for the
establishment of union conditions in every region.
The convention has revealed that, despite all
weaknesses and unclarity which still exists an ac-
tive rank and file movement has sprung up. The
militant delegates left the convention not with the
feeling that they have met defeat, but heartened
with the partial success scored They left realizing
the responsibility that rests upon them-to lead the
workers in struggle and build powerful union
in all regions despite the dead hand of the officials

Communist Party, which has now
stood its test of fire gloriously, will
succeed in placing itself at the head
of the workers and peasants and
in leading them to final victory.
However, the Communists and
the other revolutionary workers OF
Spain must receive practical as

The international solidarity of the
proletariat and the international
struggle of the proletariat to sup
port the Spanish revolution must
contribute practically to clearing
the way for further mass struggles
