SttrbaSS This Good Beginning

THE gathering of 5000 New York workers in the
Bronx Coliseum Sunday night to hear report by
Comrade Browder on the situation in Germany and
the work Of the Communist Party there was eloquent
in its spirit OF the affection pride and solidarity which
the American workers feel for their heroic comrades
of Germany.
The waves of spontaneous enthusiasm which swept
the whole hall when Comrade Browder spoke Of the
cash and labor to support the German workers revo-
luton showed that the workers present understood it
is not simply matter of words but that it Is first Of
all a matter of day-to-day deeds.
THIS meeting at which several hundred dollars wer,
raised all of which go directly to the Central Com
mittee Of the Communist Party of Germany is only
beginning
1t must be an example but 1t must also be far sur
passed by the constant redoubled energy of the work
ers in America AS Comrade Browder said at this
meeting:
THE German revolution is on the order of the
day. When it comes, it will influence the whole flu
ture history Of the world 1t the end of cap
italism In Western Europe. 1t will mean the last
days Of American Imperialism
Comrades, this is prospect to inspire every class
conscious worker in America

contribution to support our brother Party

military base which Japan with des-
perate determination is exhausting
all its government organs for prep
aration in order to make an attack on
our Soviet Far East from this base.
"Comrade Voroshilov gave the basic
indications of these preparations in
his speech. I wish merely to mention
part Of those measures which show
with special clearness that despite the
assurance Of all official leaders of the
policy Of the Japanese government,
that their preparatory measures are
not proceeding for the purpose of
defense, but for the purpose Of attack
on the Soviet Union.
Comrade Bluecher gave only three
facts showing undoubtedly that these
our Soviet Far East.
What are these indications? First
and decisiYe-tremendo strategic
railway construction feverishly con-
Quoted by Japan in the last two
years. During these two years Japan
succeeded in building in Manchuria
over 1000 kilometers (621 miles, OF
railroad track. OF these 1000 kilo-
meters of railways leading towards
the Soviet borders, not more than &c
| or IS per cent can be economically
justified.
Highway Construction
This first fact shows where and
in what direction the military opera
tions will develop on preparations for
which Japan is reality is investing
! its entire national income.
Secondly, highway construction
During these two years Japan has
built in Manchuria 1000 kilometers
of roads, Q,340 niles. If we examine
the direction of these roads, we see
they either go into the border zone,
or from inner Manchuria unfailingly
stretched towards the Soviet frontier
points in those directions which are
most favorable for future strategic
development.
Thirdly, construction of airdromes
The Japanese built about so air
dromes and aviation bases in Man
churia. All of these bases and air.
dromes are situation north of Muk-
den. They are all concentrated in the
triangle of Mukden, Hardin and Tsit-
sihar.
"The Japanese war minister Hayashi,
in an interview on Feb 3rd, tremen-
dously belitting his forces in North
Manchuria, accused us OF huge con-
centration of troops on our frontier
He said: 1--WE Japanese in Manchuria
occupy an area equal to France, Ger
many, Belgium and have only $4,000
troops; and you massed 100000
troops, 303 airplaines on the Far
Eastern frontier alone.
The Correct Information
ut is necessary to dispel this in
correct information. We have exact
information that, whereas the jap
anese forces before the occupation OF
Manchuria consisted only Of 10000

branch of the American League
Against War and Fascisn was formed
Sunday night after two-day con-
ference in which IT'S delegates, rep
resanting organizations with a total
membership Of 10000, participated.
The conference, in a resolution,
proclaimed its agreement with the
manifesto and program of the Amer
lean League Against War and Fas-
cism
-, our own citv of Chicago read
q paragraph OF the resolution, 1--WE
can note that war material is being
produced to our knowledge, in the
fcl'N~T'no enterprises: Crane Co.,
manufacturing cannon moulds; Dali
las Brass, Just completed manufac-
turing cartridges; Cribben and Sex
ton, also just completed U. S. gov
eminent order for cartridges; stock
yards, working on U. S. government
order for canned beef, naturally for
the army"
Descriptive tactics on the part of
Trotskyites and BovestoneiteS, who
united in fighting against the con-
ference, were soon swept aside
A Chicago youth branch Of the
League was formed at morning
youth conference, to which there
we're, among other delegates, two
from the 131st Infantry of the Ma
tional Guard. The latter pledged
the rank and file soldiers to struggle

whole city bristles with machine
guns. mounted at every strategic
street corner, on roofs, even on
church steeples. The center of the
city is a maze of barbed wire en-
tanglements. Machine gun motor
squads patrol the whole city.
A complete censorship has been
imposed on all telegraph and tele-
phone wires. Curfew law prohibits
anyone going out after pm.
The fighting began this morning
when state forces attempted to carry
cut a decision reached last night
by Dollfus in a conference with the
patriotic front" led by the fascist
Heimwehr, to carry out at once by
force the decision to impose COM
plete faSciSm on the country.
The city hall OF Vienna has been
occupied by the fascist forces, who
hoisted the green Heimwehr flag.
All Social Democratic functionaries
in Vienna are under arrest.
Although only meager news filters
out through the censorship, the most
definite fact which stands out is that
the struggle is growing more serious
every hour, and is approaching n
state of civil war.
Last reports were that firing was
continuing in all the centers where
the struggles has taken place. With
the tremendous armed forces which
the government and the Heimwehr
have modified, including field guns
and machine guns, this fact indicates
d mass resistance Of a heroic char
acter on the part Of the Austrian
workers.
Only Friday, the Christian Social
Party, to which Dollfus belongs, has
issued another appeal to the Socialist
Party to maintain the loyal support
of Dollfuss which it has maintained
through the many stages of fascisa-
ton he has been applying since la
summer A week ago, the Social
leaders had again urged their support
Of Dollfuss, as lesser evil" to the

Minister Hayashi, IN his interview,
complains that the Soviet Govern
ment in the Far East has concen-
trated 800 airplanes. We will not
argue with him possibly less, possibly
more. 1 can only say that if neceS-
sary, We can concentrate so many
airplanes that there will undoubtedly
be more than the Japanese have.
(voices: Correct! Long applause !.
But, however modest Minister Hayashi
is, must, nevertheless say that the
Japanese have 500 aiIplanes in
Manchuria 0aughter), although they
very modestly do not mention them.
Everyone understands the mean
ing of these measures They I'M
doubleday show the preparation Of the
japanese imperialist for big war.
We well understand that both the
increase of war budget and the in
crease and the output of the war in
oustly in Japan at any moment can
be thrown against us.
For an Offensive
"If we examine the direction of
the strategic construction of the
railways, highways, airdromes, the 10
cation of the storehouses and bases
and the scale of these preparations
it becomes obvious that all Of this is
not calculated for the defense of
Manchuria, but for the offense
against the Soviet Far East.
you see in the words of the Of
fiical Japanese policy they state they
are striving for friendship with the
Soviet Union. In practice these
strivings are not backed up by a single
fact.
However, we want to see the facts
and not words. Minister Hayasi also

I'VE face the tremendous tasks of

1.-THE fact is that between the words

U.SS.R. and its deeds, there is a ire
mendous gap. DESPITE the apparently
peaceful statements Of the official
leaders Of Jauanese policy, we, never

This problem is the axis around
which will turn the entire program
to the further Socialist development
OF the Far Eastern region.
One Of the BIGGEST Industrial

THE task OF the conversion of the
Far East into one OF the biggest in
dustrial districts primarily sets us
the task of the accelerated settlement
Of the region and the formation OF

Historically, for this region the

"The Party organization, the work

After enumerating these measures,
Comrade Bluecher continued:
1--WE do not want to fight, but if
we are compelled, We can boldly
measure our strength, and then our
neighbors should not complain #
they get nasty knocks from our army,
tested in battles, firmly politically
consolidated, united and loyal to our
Party and the offspring Of the First
Five Year Plan-tanks and aviation.
(Applause)
What is the basic distinction be-
tween the measures undertaken by
the Japanese command in Manchuria
and ours in the Far East? Every
thing we do in the Far East is slIpor-
dinated only to the defense of our
Far Eastern borders, while the mea-
sures of the japanese command are
devoted to the aims OF attack.
"We do everything for defense.
They do everything for attack. This
is the basic difference.
"Comrade Stain, in his report,
mentioned the Far East, saying: we
not only have no intention to weld
the Far East. but, on the contrary,
we are striving still further to de-
veIop the work of Socialist construc-
ton there
"And when I report today on be-
half OF the Red Army, that We will
not yield the Soviet Far East, my
confidence is based not only on the
power of the Red Army, not only on
its technical equipment, not only on
| its personnel and its faithful devo-
ton to the cause Of the revolution
and our Party, but on the tremendous
economic changes in the face of the
region itself.
During the First Five-Year Plan
we invested in the Far Eastern region
more than the Czarist government
invested in the entire period of It's
existence. The Second Five-Year
Plan for the Far Eastern region is a
tremendous program of socialist con-
struction for this Eastern District.
Second Five Year Plan
1.-THE Second Five-Year Plan faces
the region with the task of develop
ing big industry, metallurgy and ma
chine industry, shipbuilding and the
powerful development of the trans
port, the production of food and
lieht industries.
GAS Comrade Stain mentioned
here. the exceptionally important task
of the Second Five-Year Plan is de-
yelopment of the coal basis in the
New Burei District. If we realize
that the known reserves Of coal are
enormous in the Burei District
reaching 1oo,oOooooOoO tons, if we
realize this district contains Iaroe
quantities of iron ore (2,0o0,000000
tons. and also copper, then it be-
comes clear what tremendous i'm
portance Burei problems must have
as advanced by Conrade Stain.
