Instead of adopting the Soviet

one of the most signal victor

today. The Auto-Lite plant

all instruments to break the work

An unknown number of National

refused to fire on the picketers, and
are now believed to be under dis
ciplinary restraint. Young Commu-

girls, immediately after the first
shooting on Thursday, made

Death Sentence

PARIS, May 30.-The Nazi death
sentence case against Ernst Thael-
mann, imprisoned leader of the
German revolutionary working class,
has been framed 100 per cent by
agents of Hitler's Secret State
Police, according to a sensational
disclosure in the "Pariser Tageb-
latt," capitalist German daily pub
lished here.
The "Tageblatt," which is
bitter enemy of Communism, re-
ports that: THE man who is
building up the evidence against
Thaelmann is the same one who
discovered the Trotzky affair.
the German Newspaper Publishers
Association itself admits. Going
under the name of Korody, and
sometimes writing anonymously,
he is actually the foreign spe-
cialist of the Political Police
Hence the present campaign
against Thaelmann is being fab
ricated in the forgery shops of
the Secret State Police"
Although even bourgeois news
papers such as the "Tageblatt" have
to admit that the case against Ernst
Thaelmann is pure frame-up, the
ocial-democrats continue to act as
police stool-pigeons, assisting the
NaziS in their campaign of SANDER
against the German working class
leader. The socialist paper Deutsche
Freheit of Saarbruecken writes
that;
There is much to be said against
the Communist leader. Especially
this; He possesses neither the in
tellectual nor the character qualities
demanded of a man who wants to
lead so highly developed a working
class as the German. The hypo-
critical indignation Cd of Com
munist journalists will not prevent
us from pointing this out"
At time when a gigantic char
acter assassination camp align
against Ernst Thaelmann is being
carried on by the Nazis in every
in Germany, the Social
lists lend their aid to the Hitler
hangmen with stab in Thael-
MAINS back when his very life is
in danger.
Norman Thomas and his fellow
socialist leaders reject and sabo-
tage every united front effort
against German fascism they
save their strength for knitting the
heroic anti-fascists fighting inside
Germany to smash the Nazi
regime.

Disarmament Conference in Geneva
on February II, 1888.
At that time the Soviet Union

MOSCOW, May 30. (By cable)-
Reports Of new violations of Soviet
frontiers along the Amur River, by
steamers flying Manchukuo colors,
are published in the newspapers
here.
On May 81 the frontier guard of
the region of West IRRESPONSIBLE at
the village of Jensky, noticed a tow
ing steamer bearing Manchukuo
flag, accompanied by barge, ad-
vance upstream on the Amur River
at distance of about yards from
the Soviet shores.
On May %, a steamer flying
Msnchukuo colors, together with a
barge. approached the estuary of
the zeia River near the town of
Blagoveschensk. 1t followed the di-
rection of the Soviet shores for
about 335 yards then, after entering
the estuary of the zeia River, which
is an internal Soviet River, ad-
vanced nearly mile upstream,
keeping always at a distance of 40
to 40 yards from shores.
Meanwhile photographer on the
captains bridge took many pictures
of the Soviet shores, while the
steamer proceeded at an extremely
slow peace.
Frontier guards, discovering this
violation, fired two shots of warning
into the air. The steamer, not tax
ing any notice of the warning con-
tinued its course along Soviet shores.
The frontier guard fired one shot
at the steamer, and the steamer i'm
mediately and abruptly changed its
course.
A detailed investigation of this
occurrence is being undertaken.

Workers on Sidewalks

Demonstrators
$4,000 IN PARK
500 in Separate YPSL
Parade in Harlem
BY JEROME ARNOLD

NEW YORK.-"The great
est youth demonstration
against war and fascism ever
held in the United States"
That was the sweeping
description given to the Ma
tional Youth Day demonstra-
ton and parade held yesterday af-
ternoon. when 10000 young workers
and students marched through the
streets of the lower East Side while
thousands more lined the sidewalks
cheering them on.
At Tompkins Square Park, where
the parade ended, $4,000 people list
ened to the speakers from the Amer
lean League Against War and Fas-
cism, the Young Communist League,
Young Circle League, National
Student League and other parti-
cipating organizations speak against
imperialist war and fascism.
The entire East Side rang with
the slogans Of struggle against inn
perialist war and fascism. with
slogans calling for the freedom of
Ernst Thaelmann, the Scottsboro
boys, Angelo Herndon, Tom Mooney
and others, with demands for I'M
employment insurance and relief as
the slogans of the marchers were
answered by cheers from the side
walks and house windows.
Undoubtedly, the youth parade on
the lower East Side reused more
interest, enthusiasm and support
from the workers than the lingo
march on Riverside Drive held yes
terday morning. From am,
when the American Legion, the
GAR, the OAR, the National
Guard and other such organiza-
lions began their parade to the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument on
10th St., the CLEAN of guns and
the waving of the U. S. flags dom
mated the scene. At IL am. the
parade was over and so were the
preparedness speeches of LaGuardia
and the army generals.
The National Youth Day parade,
however, told an entirely different
story-a story of militant struggle
against imperialist war and fas-
cism, a tale of active fight for the
working class emancipation from
the horrors of capitalist society.

What is the basis of the Soviet
peace proposals? Here we must
sharply distinguish every peace
move of the Soviet Union from the
peusdo-pacifist maneuvers of the
imperialist powers which really
screen their development toward
war. In the raging sea of imperial
