Anti-SOViet
Campaign in
Japan Press
Papers Fake Charges; )
Anti-U. S.S.R. Film
Is Shown
lspeeiaI o the paiIr Worksrl


MOSCOW, June 26.-The Japan
csc press is continuing its wide anti
Soviet campaign directed openly
toward aggravating Japanese Soviet
relations. Sundays newspapers
published number of Tokyo re-
ports regarding the latest fabrica-
tons of Japanese imperialists which
may be explained as quite calculated
conscious aspiration to provoke pub
lie opinion in Japan against the
U. S. S. r.
This time the Tokyo police and
detectives chose the Friends of the
Soviet Union" as the object of their
Anti-Soviet campaign. THE Friends
of the Soviet Union was organized
in 1881 on the initiative of the Jap
anese writer Akita and a number of
other educators and public men of
art and science, existed legally and
openly published its journal
Friends of the U. S. S. r." which
gave objective information concern
ing construction in the U. S. S. r.
In 1882, an independent group
was formed from this society-Jap-
anese-Soviet Society for Cultural
Relations-which is still existing,
while the Friends of the Soviet I'm
lon" ceased to exist early in 1898.
Now the Japanese press accused
the former chief of the press de-
partment of the Soviet Embassy in
Tokyo, Galkovich, of giving the sec
rotary of the cultural relations So
cieties various information and
material including photographs con-
corning the U. S. S. r."
The authors of this Charge" ap-
parently did not think that the task
of the press department of any en-
bassy in any state is to disseminate
correct information about the coun-
try it represents. Accusing Galko-
vich of rendering assistance to the
Communist movement in Japan" is
still more absurd. For according
to reports in Japanese papers, this
terrible accusation" Is founded on
the fact that Galkovich was sup
posed to have paid 35 yen for ten
copies of the magazine published by
the Society to which the embassy
subscribed.
Moscow newspapers further de-
scribe in detail the contents of
new anti-Soviet film, Supreme
Will" which was exhibited recently
in the biggest cinema theatres in
Tokyo. The film is calculated to
stimulate the militaristic, anti-So-
Wet moods of the SPECTATORS and
openly strives to inculcate into the
minds of the Japanese people that
it must prepare for war against the
U. S. S. r.
The Soviet ambassador at Tokyo
has lodged a protest to the Japan
ese government Ggainst the new
anti-Soviet campaign in the Japan
ese press and the showing of the
anti-Soviet film.
Commenting on the new anti
Soviet campaign, the Soviet press
writes:
Japanese imperialiSts are I'M
scrupulously employing any dirty
methods in order to put the U.S.SR.
in disrepute in the eyes of the broad
masses of the population of Japan.
The peaceful policy of the U.S.S.R.
in striving for friendship with
neighboring countries, especially
with Japan, displeases the most re-
dictionary and militant groups of
Japanese imperialism. That's why
of late these groups have intensified
their anti-Soviet campaign"

cism at once and to enter, as I have
done, the ranks of the Communist
Party. Don't wait until it is too
late, as our valiant Austrian COM
rades we're forced to do! Realize
that the new "1eft-wing" theology
of the so-called "militants" is more
misleading and destructive than
even the reactionary "old-guard.'
Surely, even the famous "red-bait-
ing" and flag waving" attacks of
Joe STARTS against the Red Inter
nationalist" is less deceiving than
the misleadership of Krzyski,
Thomas and Co.
Join the Communist Party
Every militant socialist worker,
who really desires to see and work
for a Workers Republic and true
democracy, must throw off the
chains of social-fascism and destroy
the barriers which are used to
divide the working class! Recognize
the historic facts which prove that
only the united, militant action of
the masses of workers in a revo-
lutionary struggle can achieve vic
tory! Align yourselves with the only
revolutionary workers force, the
Communist Party, and expose the
sectarian misleadership of the rene
gade Lovestoneites and the other
Social-fascists!
Join the Communist Party, the
only Party which is waging or can
wage real fight against the de-
structive forces Of war and fascism.
The Communist Party gives the
only honest militant leadership in
building a Workers Democracy:
A Soviet America.

THE Nazis representing finance
L capital, the Krupps, ThyssenS
Duisbergs, Rochlings, Schachts,
came to power under the smoke
screen of the most unabashed
demagogy, and with the support Of
vast sections of the petty-bour-
geosie. The demagogy has been
stripped from the naked. brutal die
tatorship, and the bourgeoisie is at
tempting to put new cloak on
this ugly carcass.
The Trotskyites who croak mourn.
fully only of the strength of fas-
cism, and foresaw long period Of
reaction in the victory of the Nazis,
with the utter destruction of the
Communist Party in Germany, now
develop the idea of various degrees
of German faScism. What is really in
power now, they claim, is "plebian
fascism," that is, a fascism of the
toiling masses and the petty-bour-
geoisie. This, they say, the Won
Papens, Won Hindenburgs and the
big German land owners do not
like and this lesser evil" Of
"pleoian fascism" is to give way to
the greater evil, the rule OF the
junkers (rich landowners.
They go on to picture the Won
Papen incident as actually a strug-
gle against Hitler, who is supposed
to represent the middle classes,
when in fact Hitler has endorsed
Won Papen's speech and in no in
stance has uttered word against
it. The Trotskyites, along with the
capitalist press, attempt to conceal
the real class nature of the fascist
regime-the most open, brutal,
chauvinist rule of German finance
capital, along with the junkers,
whose interests are intertwined with
finance capital land nowhere more
concretely than in the very person
of Won Papen).
The whole inner crisis of the Ger.
man bourgeoisie is not one of which
section shall rule, but how best to
preserve the existing fascist dicta-
torship against the growing revolu-
tlonary upSurge of the German
masses, under the leadership of the
Communist Party of Germany.
1T is we'll here to recall the words
of Comrade Kuusinen spoken last
December at the 18th Plenum of
the Communists International on
the role played by Trotsky with re-
gard to fascism in Germany. "Trot-
sky wro-e," he said, that a 'catas-
trophe' occurred and that in Ger
many there was maturing, not a
proletarian revolution, but a pro-
found fasciSs counter revolution
Trotsky'S song is an echo awakened
by the greeting of the fascist storm
troopers-Heil' But the over
whelming majority of the toilers Of
Germany are thinking of something
different. Never before have they
been imbued with such profound
class hatred as they are at the pres.
ent time.
Verify, the situation in Ger
many today is accurately de-
scribcd by the recent manifesto OF
the Communist Party of Ger
many to the German proletariat:
You stand On the threshold OF
the German proletarian revolu-
tion."

Will Remain in Ranks of Administration-Wants

Washington, Oct. 27-CUP)- Rexford G. Tugwell. undersecre- tary of agriculture. is still ma Jor-gencral in administration ranks and is like'J to remain so. His clos est associates in the department emphasized today. Their view an- swered suggestions defining Tug we'll as a sort of forgotten man." They insisted that the professor would continue in his present role as an influential shaper of agricul- tural policy but at his own wish in- creasingly less conspicuous.
 Tugwell's prolonged absence in Europe in connection with the Rome meeting of the International Institute of Agriculture, has pro- duced a bumper crop of rumors de- claring him t, be through Some have even suggested that he will resign his uhdersecretaryship.
 Friends said Tugwell always has background. being unwilling to be- come "Moley-ized"-ma the goat or the target for administration critics. But he felt it was neces- sary to answer critics who he felt had been misrepresenting and misinterpreting him. So he made several speeches and appearances before congressional committees which made him very well known indeed.
 c. B. Baldwin. assistant to Wal lace. and John Fleming. literary advisor to high department off. cials, both friends of Tugwelrs laughed off the stories. Wallace and Tugwell has never split and see eye to eye on most matters they said.

NEIL BRADLEY OF MARION IS GIVEN
 $3,7OO AWARD
Stipulation Agreement Is Approved By COmmis=
 siOner James Lynch

Neil Bradley of Marion. Conn.,. receives $3.700 in settlement of his compensation claim against the Darcey Transportation Co. of Wa terbury under the terms of a stipu. lation agreement approved today by Commissioner James M. Lynch of the Waterbury compensation of- flee. The finding says payment of the sum is full and final settle ment of the case.
 Bradley was injured Dec. IA, 1888, the injury being described as lacerated and compound fracture of the hand. He was paid $1S.75 weekly from the date of the injury until Aug. 30. 1884 when the claim ant was notified the weekly pay ments would be discontinued. Fur ther payments were made during the time the case was awaiting hearing by Commissioner Lynch.
 The claimant contended at the hearing last month that the state maximum improvement in his hand and forearm had not been reached and that he was entitled to fur ther medical treatment and com pensation on the grounds of total disa bility.
 The respondent countered with the stand that the claimant was able to return to work at the time the weekly payments ceased. The finding states that cometent physi- clans and surgeons disagreed on the percentage of disability in the man as result of his injury.
 A conference between Attorney J. William Carroll of Waterbury. counsel for the claimant, and attor- neys for the respondents resulted in the agreement of the payment of the $S,700 as full settlement of the issues. The sum is to be paid to claimant in care of Attorney Carroll.

VOTING LIST OF
 CITY HAS 5000
 NAMES ON BOOKS
More Than Last Year But Much Less Than Some
 Years Ago

Waterbury's voting list for 1884, the official one to be used for the balloting on November 9th. next, will about reach the 39,000 mark. a total much less than it showed two or three years ago but an in- crease. over the figure for the city election year ago. This informa- tion was obtained today from the office of the registrars of voters.
 A few years ago the voting list reached and passed the 10000 mark. Last years total was 37,587. This drop, despite the making of new voters was due to the deaths or removals from the city.
 2,237 New Voters
 During the recent period of reg istration a total of 2.337 new vot- CTS were sworn in. This figure, how ever. will not bring the local vot- ing list past the 39.000 mark much. if any. This is due to the fact that since last years figure of 37.587 was set up many persons have died and many have removed.
 Many of those places have been taken by the 2,237 new voters ''made.55 Therefore, the registrars are figuring on an approximate list of 39.00O for Waterbury. the sec ond largest total in the history of the city.
 At the present time the registrars are preparing the voting lists for printing. The work will be com- pleted in the next couple of days. the registrars stated.
 Rcstorations Made
