L MERGUE'S threat of Fas-
cist DEGREES, designed to drive
a wedge into the Socialist and.
Communist united front of
France, failed of it's purpose.
Now the Partisan prostitute
press is endeavoring to scare some
of the Socialist leaders away from
the united front by pointing to the
armed struggles of Socialists, Com
muniStS and Syndicalists in Spain,
The answer of the Socialist and
Communist Parties to Doumergue's
scowling and warnings was to draw
tighter the united front and pre-
pare for counter offensive.
A plan of action was Jointly
signed by the leaders of both par
ties providing for nationwide anti
Fascist demonstrations on October
so against the decree laws, against
all fascist manifestations. and to
knit the workers more closely to
resist every fascist move of the gov
eminent
The two parliamentary groups
decided to demand the immediate
convocation of the Chamber of
Deputies to consider the revocation
of the decree laws and for reform
in the method of the elections.
QUITE contrary to the wishes Of
the French capitalist press, the
united front struggles in Spain,
sealed in the blood of Socialists,
Communists and Syndicalists, will
heighten the fighting spirit of the
united front in France, speed the
mobilization of the workers for the
final battle to destroy fascism, root
and branch.
JAPANESE imperialism is planning
the fate of Korea for Manchuria.
Only this time the inclusion Of
Manchuria into the japanese en-
pire will proceed more rapidly than
in Korea. The militarists have all
ready drawn up plans making Man.
churia and Jehol an integral part
of the Japanese empire.
The first step is the reorganiza-
ton Of the Japanese military and
political organs in these Chinese
provinces for more effective control.
The provinces will be sub-divided
into ten provinces or administrative
districts.
The japanese ambassador to
'Manchukuo" is to be placed under
the direct jurisdiction of the Premier
of Japan, and will be given ever
more administrative powers of the
political and economic life Of Man
churia.
The Army is taking over greater
functions and increasing its head
quarters and forces.
CEVERE fighting took place in Sac
y Paulo, important industrial CEN
ter of Brazil when Fascists at
tempted to hold demonstration.
Workers massed their forces against
the Fascist scum, and severe fight
ing followed. Six persons were
killed, including one policeman who
came to the rescue Of the Fascists.
TIhirty-one persons were wounded.
The Fascist demonstration, which
was national concentration Of
their forces, was effectively smashed.
MENDIETA'S police is trying fran
lN tically to head off the general
strike in Cuba which began at mid
night Monday. Over 400 trade
union leaders we're arrested. In
Cuba, Spanish events have a ire
mendous effect. The newspapers
play them up more prominently
than they do in the United States.
Undoubtedly the inspiring armed
struggles of the Spanish proletariat
is having a tremendous effect in
squirting on the militancy and eff
fectiveness of the Cuban general
strike against the terrorist measures
of the Wall Street backed Mendieta
regime.
HITLER is going about reducing
III the German workers to the level
of the Chinese coolie with a VEN
geance. The Osaka Mainichi, in the
latest issue arriving in the United
States, prints a special piece of cor
respondence from Hsinking, Man.
churia, telling of the good news"
that has come from Germany. It's
good news to the soya bean specu-
lators, but very bad news for the
German workers. The German F'as-
cist government has entered into
contracts for the heavy purchase Of
the cheapest and vilest food in the
world = soya beans Usually, the
soya bean cakes, after the oil has
been pressed out of them, are fed
to animals. The Chinese peasants
eat them only when they are starv-
ing.
EVERY time we look at the bot
- tom of this column and con-
traSt the figure of $24 to $500, our
quota in the drive for the Daily
Worker financial drive, we realize
in dealing with world problems we
have been neglecting the important
matter of raising our share Of the
money to insure the distribution of
these facts to the readers of the
Daily Worker. Mike Gold and the
Medical Advisory Board are so far
ahead of me in the socialist COM
petition that I feel I will have to
begin to devote columns exclusively
to the financial drive in order at
least to catch up. Send your money
in now-and credit it to this column
to prevent this.
