Trotsky Comforts the Naxis

THE FACE of treachery, the unter-revolutionary

January 3 issue of the New Republic liberal weekly.
1t is typical of Trotskyism that it issues clouds
Of Revolutionary" ranting verbiage to conceal the
kernel of its counter revolutionary betrayal.
In the New Republic, Trotsky condescends to con-
slider the innocence of the German Communist de-
PENDANTS and he gracously indicates his belief in their
Innocence But he ends with Jet of counter-revo-
lutonary venom against the Communist Party of Ger
many against the heroic defendants themselves that
finds its equal only in the Fascist rawlings Of Goer-

WHY, asks Trotsky, did the Nazis fail in their at

good work and public reproof for
bad work are visited on the whole

rather than the individual is paid
for piece work done-but that does
not mean that the members of the
brigade share and share alike in the
distribution Of either regular pay or
bonuses.
AS You Produce, So You Are Paid
Soviet industry tried out the idea
Of paying everybody more or less the
same, and it isn't popular any more.
II you want to horrify anybody who
is at all interested in the progress
OF socializsd industry, say any fac
tory committee member, any Party
member, any average worker in the
factory-just suggest 'levelling of
wages" to him. Every little while
there is a fresh campaign in press
and public meetings against the
remnants of this levelling idea.
Levelling killed incentive, robbed the
best to pay the worst, cut down
production, and gave the class enemy
nice soft nest in which to spin
his web Of devilment. The whole
theory of wage payments now
throughout Soviet industry and
agriculture is: You get paid for how
much you do and how well you do

are willing to acquire skill, you will
have every opportunity to make

French Govt. Aided
Colossal SWindIe Of.
Workers, Investors
Thirty Million Dollars
Looted in Municipal
Bank Failure.

PARIS, Jan. 4.-High French gov
eminent officials are involved in the
sensational failure Of the Credit
Municipal Bank of Bayonne and the
disappearance of Serge Stavitsky. its
head, with millions of dollars worth
Of JeWelry pledged by small investors
as collateral for the purchase Of
bonds recently issued by the institu-
ton, which was operated BY NUM-
cipal authorization as a pawnshop.
In addition, jewelry and other val
uableS pawned by impoverished
workers have disappeared. The losses
to small investors and insurance
companies, and through them to their
policy-holders, is reported as between
twenty to thirty million dollars.
Camille ChautempS, present French
Premier and formerly head OF the
Ministry of the Interior, Is involved
in the scandal, together with other
officials Of the Ministries Of the In
terror and Finance.
A wave of mass anger, which may
engulf the new Chautemps Ministry,
swept France tonight as a result of
the colossal swindle, sponsored by
the government and comparable only
to the Kruger international swindle
and the insults swindle in the U. s.
The government is charged, even by
the insurance companies, with pro-
tecting Stavitsky, q notorious adven-
turer who, several years ago, was &C
cused Of swindleS totaIling 100000
francs. Gustave Tussier, colleague
of Stavitsky in the management of
the bank was recently proposed for
the Legion Of Honor by the French
Senate.
Tussier was arrested yesterday on
a charge of giving many pieces of
pledged jewelry to his women friends.
A large crowd Of victims gathered in
front Of the Bayonne Prefecture with
cries Of Kill him!" and only dis
persed following a brutal attack by
the police.
The French government, which
has been asked by the insurance
companies to make good their losses,
now denies that the bond issue pro-
NOTED by Stavitsky with great pub
l1city in the press was authorized.
Premier Chautmps has been put on
the defensive, as a result Of the gov
ernment's defense Of Stavitsky in the
past, and yesterday issued denial
that Stavitsky had conferred with
him while he was Minister of the In
terror.

New Defeat by the

Agreement with the

SHANGHAI, Jan. 4. Marking
troops on the Fukien- Chekiang front
were thrown back yesterday by
smashing attack by the Chinese Red
Army, which captured Kingyuen and
Taishun in Southern Chekiang Pro-
vince. after successfully forcing Its
way through the mountain passes
which were strongly held by the Nam
king mercenaries. Further South,
the 10th Route Army Of the Fukien
secessionist regime also drove back
the Marking armies.
Marking plans for q joint naval
and military attack on Annoy, Fukien
province seaport, have collapsed az
a result Of the detection of the Nam
king warships in that port which
have entered into friendly agree
ment with the 10Th Route Army. The
navy agrees not to enforce the block
ade ordered by the Marking regime,
and to permit the secessionist regime
to continue to administer the city
and collect taxes. The secessionist
flag is flying over all public buildings
in the city.
At Foochow, secessionist troops are
entrenchipg barbHiring and sandbag-
ging the outskirts Of the city against
an anticipated attempt by Marking
to land troops. Representatives Of
North China warlords sympathetic
to the secessionist movement are in
the city comforting with the Fukien

With the collapse Of the Japanese
inspired military movements in Sim
kiang Province, northwest China, and
in Chilli province, north China, the
Japanese are preparing for a new
invasion Of North China and mean
time consolidating their hold on
Chahar Province, Inner Mongolia.
They have completed the construction
Of modern airdromes in Malanyu and

New Terror, Framed
Arrests Against the
Masses of Ell Salvador

NEW YORK.-A new terror drive
against the masses of FL Salvador
has been inauguTated with the re-
ported arrest of Pedro Sergio de
Leon, worker, in Ahuachapan, who
is framed on charge Of poisoning
of water, murder of justice of the
peace, melting peasants to revolt,
shooting an eight-year-old child,
burning court records and partici-
pating in an uprising in Juaynar--
all during the Ell Salvador uprising
in January, 1882, according to word
just received by the International
Labor Defense here.
Since this uprising, when 10000
workers and peasants were killed by
the soldiery of the United States,
Great Britain, Canada and Ell SAL
vador itself, terror hung over the
heads OF the masses, and Commu-
nists and other workers known to
have sympathy with militant action,
have been shot on sight without legal
forlality.
The present case against the man
alleged to be De Leon hns been
created to intensity the terror against
the masses, which has been sharp
ened now since many struggles are
taking place in the coffee regions.
The +. L. D. has called on all mass
organizations to send protests to the
FL Salvador legation in Washington,
demanding information as to the
condition of the arrested worker,
said to, be De Leon, holding the gov
eminent responsible for his safety,
and demanding his immediate re-
lease. Resolutions should also be sent
directly to the Ell Salvador, Central
America, government.

Trinidad's Girl Clerks
Organize to Fight Long

PORT AU SPAIN, Trinidad, B.wI.
(By MaiD Trinidad bitterly ex-
plotted women store clerks took the
first step Dec. 10 toward organizing
against inhumanly long hours and
starvation pay.
The reformist labor leaders, how
ever, have got control of the move
ment and the women clerks will be
organized as Women's Section of
the Shop Clerks Union affiliated to
the Trinidad Workingmen AsSocia-
ton, headed by the refornist Capt.
Cipriani, and affiliated to the British
Labor Party.
Many Of the women clerks get no
wages at all, but are forced to work
on a commission basis. This system
formerly confined to the small stores
was recently adopted, with the deep
ening of the crisis, by the big de-
partment stores which previously paid
a small wage in addition to commits
Sions on sales.

Italy To Train
100000 Youth;
Wants New Arms
Seeks Equality with
French Rivals, Arms
For Germany

ROME, Jan. 4.-The secret confer
ence between Mussolini, italian fas-
cist dictator, and Sir John Simon,
British Foreign Minister on the arms
question, was accompanied today by
a Fascist decree ordering army drill
for 100000 ITALIAN youth, ranging
in age from Z to IS years. Renato
Ricci, Fascist Under Secretary OF
Education, explained the decree as
aimed ''for preparing the new genera
ton for possible emergencies" Or
ders were issued to develop an officer
cadre of 100000 among the older
youth, of bourgeois families.
Mussolini is reported demanding a
revision of armament distribution to
place Italy on equality with its
French rivals. He dropped all pre-
tense Of support for downward revi-
sion of ornaments. He also demands
arms equality for Germany, which he
sees as a possible ally in event of war
between the opposing imperialist
camps headed by France and Italy.
In an inspired article, III Lavore
Fascista' significantly declares that
Experience gained in the disarma-
ment conference has shown it is i'm
possible, at least for some time to
come, to bring about any noteworthy
reduction OF ornaments in the most
heavily armed countries" The Fas-
cist press two days ago declared that
all the imperialist powers were fran
tically piling up ornaments, and cited
the huge naval budgets Of the U. s.,
Japan and Britain.

Tense, the City Executive Committee
Of the Socialist Party has rejected the
invitation of the Friends of the Soviet
Union to participate in its approach
ing national convention, to be held
in this city Jan. IS, 81 and %.
In an attempt to head off support
by honest rank and file members for
the convention and its purpose Of
spreading the truth OF the victories
of Soviet Socialist construction and
rallying the American working class
to the defense of the Soviet masses
against the intervention plots Of the
imperialists, the Executive Commit
tee also issued instructions to "all
members of the Socialist Party and
its branches not to participate in this
Convention"
Evidence that many rank and file
members and locals intend to defy
this conference.-the instruction
is shown in the receipt by the F.SU.
of credentials from several Socialist
branches, and promises to send dele
gates from others. Thus, the sec
rotary of the Bristol, Conn. Socialist
Party local, advises the F.S.U., at 80
E. 18th St., that his branch endorses
the convention:
eve appreciate your invitation
very much and would like to send

members are working part-time and
most of us are financially embar-
raised. But we wish you to know
that we are in favor Of the Soviet
and wish your Convention of the
Friends of the Soviet Union great
success.
In rejecting the invitation Of the
F.SU., the City Socialist Committee
follows the line Of the German So
cia1 Democracy, which paved the way
for the murderous Nazi dictatorship
by rejecting the united front of So
cialist, Communist and non-party
workers. 1t attempts to cover up this
