Under planned, Socialist economy where the
workers rule, there has been an unceasng. rapid

While under the Second Five-Year Plan the goal
was set for an annual increase in the rate Of total
industrial output of 165 per cent the figures lust

Friends of Soviet Union Warn
Against War Acts in Far East

csc industrialists, but also so as to
firmly entrench themselves on a
solid stepping stone for an attack
on the Soviet Union. A powerful
group of japanese reactionaries,
fascists, and jingoists, is urging the
military dictators of Japan to pro-
coed from words to deeds. The
'ominous warning served on So
Wet Russia by the Japanese Foreign
Office, alleging unfriendly acts, in
dicates that the prevailing opinion
of the Japanese ruling class is that
the sooner they attack the U.S.S.R.,
the better their chance of victory.
1.-THE Associated Press reports
that Great Britain has formed a
secret military alliance with
Japan. Japan had not dared at
tack the Soviet Union without as
surances of support from at least
one great European power. AS
soon as Japan attacks in the East,
Hitler will lead an attack in the
West, backed by Britain.
Friends of the Soviet Union,
workers, farmers, intellectuals, pro-
fessionals, youth of America: The
international situation at this mo-
ment is packed with dynamite.
Arise in your might to prevent the
explosion! Hold back the war mad

A Liberties ~ League

TIME and time again the Communist
4 Party has pointed out that within the
capitalist class there are developing, under
impact of the economic crisis, differences
as to the methods of solving the crisis
What is the best way to maintain the
profit system, is question around which
new political alignments form In the ruling class.
Such a division, cutting across old party lines,
is very clear in the formation of what is termed,
ironically enough, THE American Liberty League
actually league against the liberties and living
conditions of the masses of the American people
This association states its avowed purpose to
"teach the necessity of respect for the rights Of
persons and property as fundamental to every form
Of government and ~ to teach the duty of gov
eminent to encourage and protect individual and
group initiative and enterprise to foster the right
to work, earn, and acquire property, and to
preserve the ownership and lawful use of property
when acquired"
What the influence OF the organization will be
ana how long it will last is not yet established
But this much is certain: The American Liberty
League judging by its millionaire founders, and
its avowed purpose, is collection of the most
reactionary finance capitalists in the country,
ganized to exert pressure on national politics It
will direct it's main blows against the working
class against the rising tide of labor organization
1t will campaign against any measure which in
the least comes in conflict with the section OF
finance capital it represents. 1t will fight for its
particular viewpoint on the MIRA on the AAA
on currency questions etc
But its differences with Roosevelt are not fun
damental. Both want to uphold and maintain the
capitalist system the of the growing misery

shouting slogans against the ABC
and fascisn, searching for Pedro
Armando, who was going about
slandering the Communists of
Havana and the murdered worker
O'Farrill, supporter of Grau. The
sailors, together with the workers,
chased the strikebreaker Primitive
Palacios, capturing and disarming
him.
This put fear into the hearts of
the officials, the leaders of the
Abe, and the landlords. The tele-
graph and telephone wires began
to hum. Orders were received from
Batista and from the district of
Oriente. A battery of artillery and
squadron of gunboats arrived. On
the following day the papers car
ried news of INSTRUMENTATION" on
the cruiser Cuba" Nevertheless
on board all remained calm and
normal. But something very dan
gerous for the ruling classes had
happened. Workers and sailors had
fraternized The leaders of the ABC
'bribed and agent who accused the
sailors and workers of being Com
munists, and demanded the out
lawry of the trade unions and the
discharging of the revolutionary
sailors"
The General Strike in ManzanilIo
All these struggles reached their
highest phase in the province of
Oriente, where the struggles of the
workers and peasants have reached
a high level. In the Delicia and
Chaparra sugar mills a strike move
ment started on three plantations
and spread to As others. In Guam
tanamo the workers on the "Er-
mita" plantation walked out for
higher wages. In Manzanilla @
strike was carried out on the
"Etrada Palma" plantation, while
in Guano, Buey Arriba and other
places 300 families fought against
eviction. Many are the struggles OF
this kind in the region, due to an
1nbearable condition of misery and
terror, especially after the mas
sacre Of Malay. A group of pea
SAINTS fastened to seize $4,000 acres
of untitled land from the landlords
Under these conditions The general
strike in AIanzanillo took place.
This great strike movement wai
started by the port workers, ano
extended rapidly, before the genera

ONCE the middle of June and
y during July and August the
strike move emit has grown
throughout Cuba, especially in the
province of Oriente. These great
struggles have shaken the semi
feudal imperialist system in Cuba,
as reflected in the acute crisis in
the Mendieta Cabinet. Yankee
imperialism has been working
strenuously to keep in power the
tottering government.
The struggles of the agricultural
workers on the plantations are oc-
curing in large areas in the pro-
yinces of Santa Clara, Camaguey
Matanzas. In Pinar del Rio, where
the struggles previously were linn
tied in comparison with the rest OF
the island, 1000 workers went on
strike. In Santa Clara a series OF
peasant conferences has taken place
in preparation for new struggles
The most important factor in the
increase of the struggle is the ire
mendous discomfort of the masses
against the uncomfortable hunger
and misery, unemployment in
creased through the termination OF
the zafra, sugar harves9 the saw
age methods of fascist terror en-
ployed by the government, etc
This discomfort is manifesting
itself in the broad movement
against the fascist concentration of
the ABC group, which eliminated
in the frateruzation of the crew OF
the cruiser Cuba" as well as in
the great struggles for the liberia
ton of the political prisoners and
for the personal safety of Comrade
Ordoqui, Secretary of the National
Workers Confederation of Cuba,
threatened with death by the fas-
cist bands of the ABC, movement
which reached its highest form in
the struggles in the region Of
Manzanillo.
The Crew of the "Cuba"
The action taken by the Men
dieta government against the crew
of the Cuba" cruiser of the Cuban
navy, was carried out because of
the fact that the crew fraternized
with the workers of Antilla. On
June 10 there arrived at Antilla tbs
ABC delegation which had taken
part in the concentration of June
II. The sailors of the Cuba
fraternizing with the workers OF
Antilla. went through the street

PARIS, Aug. %. (By wireless) :
Japanese Manchurian provocations
against the U.S.S.R. are more
sharply criticized every day by the
French press. Newspapers show
that the actions of the Japanese
and Manchurian authorities not
only create a danger for Soviet
Japanese relations, but for the
peace Of the whole world.
Great attention was caused by the
article published in Temps" I'M
der the title; "a Campaign of False
Statements in the Far East" Henri
ROLAND, author of the article, gives
a historical review of the false and
provocative statements which havs
been spread from Hardin for over
a year regarding the imaginary Gag
gressiveness of the U.S.S.R."
ROLAND claims that the special
center Of anti-Soviet propaganda
stationed in Hardin is similar to
that which existed in Riga and
Tallin. These false statements are
published mot only to cause a
feeling of strong dissatisfaction
against the US.S.R. but to pro-
woke incidents in Manchuria and
even abroad"
Quoting some Hardin anti-Soviet
leaflets, ROLAND states: ITO those
who know proclamations of certain
secret societies which are trying to
strike a blow at the Soviet gov
-sdoJd 10 dIsu sul u4!M lusmuIs
ganda and terroristic acts, the
style of such appeals are too char
acteristic to permit of doubt of
their origin and aims"
ROLAND states that the Russian
white guard organizations in France,
and especially the monarchist
paper, "Vozrozhdenie," are also in
volved in the Hardin anti-Soviet
center. ROLAND writes: 1T is i'm
possible not to see the coincidence
between this campaign of spread
ing anti-Soviet forgeries and the
journey of certain agitator who
plays a decisive role in this society,
to whose actions we cannot remain
Indifferent, since tn ey manifest
themselves even in France and meet
with suspicious sympathy in Berlin.

capital and a series Of confederates

evidently has in view the chief of
the so-called Society of Russian
Fascists," Vonsietsky, of whose
journey in the Far East and to some
European capitals, we recently re-

ERE Nouyelle," In an extensive
article contrasts the peace policy of
the U.S.S.R. with the warlike policy
of Japan which, Although con-
demned by the League of Nations
as responsible for war, nevertheless,
continues to conduct it's warlike
program"
Emphasizing that the Soviet gov
eminent has no tendency to enslaye
other peoples, and that this is
proved by its relations with neigh
boring countries which were for
merly oppressed by Czarism, and
pointing out the suspicious inten-
lions of Germany against the US
S.R., the newspaper writes: 1.-THE
agreement between Germany and
Japan is fact. This proves that
the problem in the Far East is
closely connected with the problem
of the Western borders of the US.
S.R. and the Baltic countries, and
that close attention is absolutely
necessary to this sector of Euro

gogy and promises of treaties and
othel. concessions from imperialism,
the toiling masses are turning more
and more toward the Communist
Party of Cuba, which, as the real
leader of he struggles, as the van
guard of the proletariat, will lead
the masses along the road of the
agrarian anti-imperialist revolution
to the dictatorship of the workers
and peasants: Soviet power.

THE French BouTse considered the
4 drop in the dollar "a warning to
Washington" that the battle would
be carried to the bitter end.
On top Of the new intensihcation
of the economic crisis in capitalist
countries, coupled with the drought,
the deliberate policy of raising
prices on the necessities of life, the
new monetary battles between the
imperialist robbers will make the
conditions of the workingclass in all
capitalist countries worse this win
ter. No wonder the bosses cringe
before the spectre of hunger for
the masses, and the perspective Of
sharp resistance by the workers and
farmers.
