NEW YORK, Feb. Hardy was
the ink dry on Roosevelt's new pro-
clamation fixing the dollar at 59.06
cents in gold, when the British
Equalization Fund, huge financial
weapon Of British imperialism struck
the first blow in the international
currency war by raising the price of
gold in London to a new record high
Of 1876 shillings and six pence an
ounce. This sent the pound to $4.98,
a drop from $5.04 cents earlier in the
day.
Roosevelt wants to keep the pound
above the $500 mark, British impe-
riadsrn wants to force the pound TO
about $486, or below.
Both immense Equalization Funds,
Eoosevelt's Of almost 3 billion dollars
and the British of one and half

MOSCOW, Feb. This city today
was the scene Of an extraordinary
demonstration Of joy and jubilation
such as has rarely been witnessed in
the history Of modern times.
Hundreds upon hundreds OF thou
sands OF workers from the factories
and Offices of Moscow poured into
the immense Red Square demonStrat
ing to the assembled delegates OF the

that unbreakable unity exists not

the center OF the city were choked
with torrents of marching workers.
In the atmosphere of jubilee and
merry making, the marchers caught

as the constant reverberation of the
band music, and the roar Of thou
sands singing revolutionary songs

immense square. The spontaneous
enthusiasm and happiness of the
marching workers, expressing their
joy In the great victories of the
Soviet proletariat is impossible to

special to the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, Feb. (By RADIO. -
Reports by Tass (Soviet news agency
in Hardin are that Slavutski, Soviet
representative, has made an emphatic
protest to the Manchurian authorities
against the organized White Guard
anti-Soviet demonstration in Hardin
Jan. q.
Slavutsld pointed out that the
White Guard demonstrations we're
directed not only against the Soviet
representatives on the Chinese East
ern Railway and the Soviet colony,
but also against the U. S. S. r. He
declared it was of an extraordinary
character in the light of Soviet-Man-
churian relations and the situation In
the Far East. He declared that Man
chukuo was fully responsible for the
consequences.
Demands Freedom for Soviet Citizens
Slavutski referred to Manchuria's
9ranting full freedom Of action to
White Guard elements, and called at
tention to the continual causelesS ar
rest Of innocent Soviet citizens. He
emphatically demanded the release Of
the arrested Soviet citizens.
Tass reports from Peiping say that
tho preyacations by Japanese and
Manchukuo authorities on the Chin
csc Eastern Line continue. New ex-
cuseS are invented daily.
Hardin reports that all local papers
published an item uniformly headed
Extraordinary Measures Prepared"
These papers say that several minis
terial conferences took place in
Chang Chun, making it clear that
"the Manchurian Government fully
shares the demand for a relative re-
duction of rates on the Chinese East
ern Railway"
1t is known that the question Of
rates on the railway served as the
pretext for the White Guard demon
strations. The papers say that the
Ministry of Communications will
shortly take firm steps in this direc-
ton"

George Dinitroff's illness, which the

Of the lungs.
Private word received from many

It is because Of this tremendous

its decision forbidding mention OF
his name in the German press, and
to issue an official denial of his Ill
