PactReVeaIed
PARISH
Military Plot Against
Soviet Union Is Given
Full Support of Reich

PARIS, Nov. 1.-Charles Cicard,
special correspondent of paris
Soir," gives interesting details of
the secret military political agree
ment between Germany and Japan.
The Agreement is for a period
of 5 years. Among its chief initiators
Cicard names Prince Tokugawa,
General Araki and Admiral Mat
suita.
The Third Empire" according to
the agreement, recognizes the legi-
timacy of the Japanese pretensions
to Eastern Siberia, up to Lake
Baikal. Japan, on its part, supports
the wrestling of Ukraine from the
Soviet Union in favor of Germany.
The Agreement, says Cicard, as
logical sequence, acknowledges
territorial compensations to Poland
in Volynia and Podolia (western
regions of Soviet Ukraine). Since
the realization of The arrangement
is calculated over long period, the
efforts of Nazi Germany are di-
rected to a prolongation of COM
plications, of which it is not yet
able to take advantage. German
diplomacy, having these considera-
tons in mind, counsels Japan to
remain patient.
1.-The Japan-German Agreement"
writes Cicard in plain language,
comes to an obligation not to local
ize the Far Eastern conflict. Ger
many is not yet prepared to realize
such a broad plan, but the govern
ments and the General Stats of
the two countries are already at
work: they are preparing to the
smallest detail, the basis of tech
meal, political and military COLA
boration. They are working in clos
est contact; information reaching
us on the subject does not leave any
doubt about the existence of an
agreement, which aims to expose
the whole world to fire and sword"
Sending Specialists
Cicard writes further that Ger
many will send to Japan, in the
course of the next six months, 500
engineers and aviatorS, while ten
aviation engineers with the we'll
known constructor Mich, have al
ready gone to Japan. The chemical
trust I. G. Farbenindustrie is or
ganizing branches in Japan for the
production of poison gases, in
charge of their agent Igler. Krupp
sent its representative Lemke to
Japan. /. In the meantime, Rosen-
berg is recruiting White Guards to
carry on acts Of provocation in the
Far East.

Guard the Communist Vote!
Join the Army Of Watchers
At Nations Polling Places!

With the cleo ton campaign
reaching its final stage at the
nations polling places next Tues
day, Communist election workers,
campaign committees and SYM
pathizers are confronted with the
most important and most difficult
task of the canpaign-the safe
guarding of the Communist vote,
Capitalist democracy, designed to
place every barrier in the way of
a free choice of candidates by
workers, does not stop at any
means in preventing full express
sion Of working-class wishes at the
polls. Where legal trickery have
failed to disnar revolutionary can
didateS from the ballot, where
election laws have not succeeded
in barring the most oppressed sec
ton of the population most, likely
to vote Communist, capitalist de-
mocracy does not hesitate to use
illegal means.
Every Communist vote on Nov. 5
will represent a worker ready to
fight against capitalism in its daily
attacks on the working class as
well as in the general unremitting
struggle for complete power for the
workers. AS such, every Commu-
mist vote must be safeguarded to
the utmost capacity Of Commu-
mist local, county and state cam
paign agencies.
The Job Of Watching
The job of watching against
theft and suppression Of the Com
nunist vote must not be left, how
ever, to election campaign COM
mittees alone. Every working class
mass organization, every Commu-
mist Party section and district or
ganization must be sure that it
has made the most complete pos
sible preparations.

, the speediest conclusion. of the
negotiations, the Japano-Manchu-
rian press is again commencing to
circulate false information concern
ing the state of negotiations.
a striking example is the petty
bargaining of the japanese officials,
who, when Soviet Ambassador Yu-
renew estimated the price of the
railroad at 145,000,0o0 yen, could
find no other reply than counter
posing a price of 100000, 900 yen,
attempting to outbargain the AM
bassador by five million. When the
Soviet Government, manifesting the
maximum compliance, agreed to
this proposal, the Japanese COM
menced again to present new de-
mands, once more hindering the
conclusion Of the sale.
Concerning the question of the
transfer of the railroad, Japan put
forth the demand of transferring
all rights to the railroad to Man
chukuo Immediately after signing
the sales agreement. The owner
of the railroad would then be Man
chukuo, while the responsibility for
the property and operation of the
railroad would still be borne dur
ing this time by the U. s. R. r.
Although the Soviet side agreed
to the transfer of railroad rights
to Manchulauo Immediately after
signing the agreement, the Japano-
Manchurian authorities demand
that the railroad be transferred by
inventory, which is pure cheating,
since the railroad is being sold not
at its actual value but according
to a fixed lump price.
The next question which has
raised difficulties is the issuance of
debentures to the U. S. S. R. by
Manchukuo on that part of the
purchasing sum which is not sub
Ject to immediate payment and the
guaranteeing by Japan of these
Manchukoan debentures, both as
regards money and commodity part
payments. Hirota objects to this
demand of the Soviet side. propos-
ing that, instead of receiving de-
oentures, the U. S. S. R. accepts
the principle of trusting Manchu-
kuo and of transferring this ire
mendous transport COM
bi1e to Manchukuo Immediately
after signing the agreement.
The Japanese even went as far as
rejecting proposals which they had
previously made themselves.

Every sympathizer, every Com
munist and every worker who in
tends to vote red should, if he is
able, report at once to the Com
munist campaign committee in his
neighborhood or committee for
duty on Election Day as watcher.
Specifically, the work of pro
tecting the vote is being organized
in every district so that the follow
ing results are to be assured:
No polling place is to be without
an official watcher for the Com
munist Party or United Front
ticket where such exists.
No Communist election slate is
to be without a staff of legal ad-
visors to check up and fight i'm
mediately against any irregularity
which will endanger the Commu-
mist vote.
Rights Of Watchers
The rights of polling place
watcher may vary in some respects
from state to state, but generally
the watcher has the following
rights:
He may challenge any voter II
he has grounds.
He may inspect any and all
records in the polling place, reg
istration rolls, etc. He may in
spect any ballot during the
counting of ballots. He may take
such other action as he deems
necessary to protect the interests
of his party from fraud or dis
elimination within the polling
places. 1t is his duty to remain
in the polling places until the
vote has been tabuIated.
Every watcher should keep in
touch as closely as possible with
the Communist election campaign
committee nearest to his polling
place.

first the management refused adj
mittance to delegates arriving after
II O'Clock and were forced to give
in, they tried to put the delegates
through delousing process.
The trial of the arrested dele
gates continued this morning, but
court opened an hour and half
late, owing to the fact that Judge
Bergan, Mayor Thatcher, Chief of
Police Smurl and Safety Commits
sioner Cooke we're in conference,
searching for method of getting
out of the whole situation.
The beaten-up workers are still
in a very serious condition. Pete
De Jesus, a tobacco worker Of New
York, was so badly beaten that he
cannot walk. Bill Landes, a sea-
man from New York City, who had
several places opened on his head,
was released and paroled in custody
Of Joseph Tauber of the I. L. D.
When Landes came to the conven-
ton he was given an ovation, but
was too weak to make long speech.

wide Scottsboro march, the New
York District Committee Of the
Comm mist Party yesterday issued
an appeal to all workers and pro-
fessionals in the city to take part
in the march.
ITO the New York Working Class!
To All Professionals and In
tellectuals!
"For three long years we have
battled stubbornly to prevent the
horrifying legal lynching of the in
nocent Scottsboro boys by the State
of Alabama. You workers have
responded splendidly and gen.
erously to the call of the Comnu-
mist Party and the International
Labor Defense. 1t was the great
mass protest movement that you
participated in and made possible
that has so far stayed the hands of
the executioners, that has so far
saved the boys from the fate Of
our martyrs, Sacco and Vanzetti.
Dec. Z, is the date for the legal
lynching of Haywood Patterson
and Clarence Norris. This day OF
bloody ruling class vengeance is
drawing near. We must, not let
three years Of stubborn struggle
that reused the world be in vain.
The situation demands greater de-
termination, greater efforts, the
intensification and broadening of
the mass protest movement more
than ever.
workers of New York! Defeat
the dastardly maneuvers of the rul-
ing class to weaken and destroy the
defense that has kept the boys alive.
The unholy alliance of Samuel Leib-
owitz, the Negro misleaders and the
lynch bosses shall not succeed in
paralyzing the defense of the boys.
Patterson and Norris must be saved.
The Scottsboro boys must go free.
The elementary human rights of
Is million Negro people are involved
in this fight. The fundamental
rights of all workers are involved
in the fight against this CHASTITY
persecution of the Negro people.
The white workers cannot have any
rights as long as the Negroes are
oppressed, franed-up, lynched, de-
MED their human rights.
THE Communist Party Of New
York calls upon you to answer the
conspiracy of the lynch rulers and
their agents; Leibowitz, the Negro
misleaders, the Amsterdam News.
Pour out into the streets of Harlem
tomorrow at 1870 pm. Gather at
126th st. and Lenox Ave. Demon
strate, march for the freedom of
the Scottsboro boys, against lynch
ing and Negro ppression-a against
the lynchers and their agents.
"All workers organizations, trade
unions. social, fraternal and cul-
tural organizations, all societies,
lodges and churches are urged to
turn out in full force with banners
and placards.'

Party, Lehman, who had remained
silent during t he entire meeting
rose as if to go.
Asked by the delegates if that was
his answer to the bloody attack by
the Capitol police, Lehman an
swered: Il will consider what you
say"
While the Communist candidates
placed their demands before Leh-
man, the corridors of his Park Ave.
apartment echoed with the demands
of the workers who picketed on the
street below The pickets, assem-
bled overnight by the United Ac-
ton Conference on Work, Relief
and Unemployment, carrying plac-
ards and shouting their demands,
paced slowly before the Park Ave.
apartment.
Inside Lehman's apartment, Will
llama Burroughs, a former school
teacher who was fired for her ac-
tiyities in behalf of the over-worked
teachers of New York, set forth the
demands of the Negro workers,
number of whom were on the Hun
ger March. Pointing out the dis
elimination against the Negro work
ers on relief, Burroughs demanded
that Lehman Immediately proceed
to Albany to meet with the dele
cation.
Carl Brodsky set forth demands
for an immediate special session of
the State Legislature for the ap-
preparation of $200,000,000 winter
relief and the enactment of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance,
Bill the central demand of the Hun
ger Marchers and the central plat

To Lehman's whining platitude
that he would now see the march
ers if they came to New York, Brod-
sky flung at him: These march
ers are now in Albany. More than
month ago you knew that they
would be there. We demand that
you go to Albany at once"
At the State Office Building,
thousands lined the streets while
workers picketed, demanding that
Lehman proceed at once to Albany,
meet with the marchers, call off the
police and release the arrested
workers, and call a special session
Of the State Legislature for the en-
actment of their relief demands.

Calling on "all class-conscious

1913, again, while speaking before
the strikers, referred to the Daily
Worker. This time he spoke on the
editorial appearing yesterday en-
titled MIR. Ammirato, Agent of
German" in which he was exposed
for advocating physical violence
against the Communists in the
union, and also it was disclosed
that the Textile Journal reports
Ammirato as having also voted for
the German settlement of the gen.
eral strike.
He carefully avoided saying any
thing on the contents, merely
shouting that the Daily Worker ac-
cuseS him of selling out the dyerS'
strike. Despite his efforts, however,
he could not whip up any applause,
as by this time the workers are
aware that the Daily Worker has
not accused him nor anyone else of
having sold out the dyers' strike,
but has been continually pointing
to the need for rank and file con-
troll as an insurance against SELL
out by any leaders.
The continual hammering in the
Daily Worker has compelled him
again to assure the strikers that no
agreement will go into effect unless
it is first approved by the workers.
From the cold response given to
Ammirato's attack on the Comrnu-
nists, it is evident that the workers
want solid front irrespective of
political opinion. 1t was Charles
Vigoritto, Vice-president of the To-
cal and one of the most active in
the strike, who got the most en-
thusiastic support from the work.
ers, when he said: Everybody must
be on the picket line and that
means the business agents as we'll.
They are not better than anyone
else"
The pressure of the rank and file
in the strike was likewise evident in
the talk of Tony Venture, young
striker and member of the settle
ment committee. I'm against cut
ting down the number on our set
tlement committee. Five is not too
much to represent $4,000 strikers in
this local. Let us keep it as a rank
and file committee" This was like
wise greeted with general applause.
The silk strikers at this mornings
meeting again reiterated their de-
mand for a general membership
meeting for Saturday to consider
steps for a general silk-weavers
strike. This came after the union
manager, Eli Keller, reported that
the Executive Committee could not
be gotten together before Saturday
The workers denounced this as out
right sabotage and pointed out that
meeting could be called in several
hours, if desired.
A decision was also made for a
mass meeting of strikers at the
Union Hall on Saturday at 2 pm.
where the workers will hear the
decision of the Executive Board
on their request. AS a step to-
! wards improving the work of the
rank and file group in the dyers
and silk weavers' local, a mass
meeting is called at the Modern
Woodman Hall, 215 Main Street,
for this Sunday, November 4, ut
1880 PM, at which Rose Wortis
of New York, trade union leader,
will speak on how the silk union
could be made to serve the inter-
ests of the workers and how we
can help to win the dyers' strike.
All workers active in the rank
and file movement in the unions
! are invited to this meeting.
