Ford Co. Plant
To Shut Down
AtRiverRouge

DETROIT, Aug. %. : Thousands
of auto workers will be thrown out
of jobs by shutdown OF the main
Ford plant at River Rouge at the
end of this week. The plant will
remain closed for at least one week,
with the possibility of the shut
down extending for another week.
While Ford is laying thousands of
workers off, he is joining with the
corrupt democratic Comstock state
government in an effort to bludgeon
his workers into paying the state
head tax of 81. The head tax,
which has met widespread resis-
lance, is supposed to raise funds for
old age pensions.
After conference with Charles
E. Sorenson, general manager of
the Ford Motor Company, and the
ex-thug, Harry Bennett, head of the
Ford Stool-pigeon system, John p.
McElroy, Wayne County supervisor
of the Old Age Pension Fund, an
nounced that the Ford Company
would cooperate" in efforts to
persuade" its employees to pay the
tax voluntarily.
The presence OF Bennett at the
conference indicates the kind of
persuasion that will probably be
used.

sent to tenants and small farmers
had as many as five names on

that the tenant or small owner
would receive as part-payment on

platform of the party is based on
the immediate needs of the workers
to struggle against the growing
capitalist terror, economic attacks,

on the ticket.
Others, of course, of my party

can be no doubt that the strength
of the workers and poor farmers
of the county has been increased by
this proletarian unity.
Il have read in the Daily Worker
of the American Youth Congress
and of Norman Thomas statement
that the NEG. of the Socialist
Party is going to consider a unity
pact during Labor Day weekend.
Il want to express to my party
comrades fe:vent hope that they
do everything possible to further the
actual carrying through of this
promise and that the much-needed
unity of the workers, with its guar
anteed powerful impetus to unor-
ganized workers, comes down from
the realm of possibilities to con-
crete agreement. There must, of
course, be action and good faith
from both Communist and Socialist
parties. 1t must be done; it can
be done.
The working class must have this

to France. I have also seen the

this unity in my local experience.

Japan Budget
AIlOts 90 p. c..
For W ar Plans

PEIPING, China, Aug. &c (By
wireless) The most important
question of the internal policy Of
Japan at the present moment. in
formation reaching here shows. is
the question Of the new state bud
get. More than so per cent OF the
budget is being allotted for war ex-
penditures.
All sources of information state
that the naval ministry presented
demand to the Finance Minister
for 714.000,000 yen lover S4o0 900. :
0o0) record for the entire period
CT the existence of the japanese
ravy. (The present budget Of the
Naval Ministry is only" 467,G3o,-
900 yen.)
The War Ministry as yet has
merely presented estimate for ex-
traordinary expenditures. 1t is
expected that the War Minister will
demand among extraordinary ex-
penditures, 100000 yen for ex-
penditure in Manchuria: 100000
ven for development of aviation:
about 150,000,O00 yen for improving
ornaments and obtaining new
weapons, etc. etc.
In general. according to preli-
minary official estimates. the war
budget will be 1854, 100000 yen or so
per cent Of the entire present
japanese state budget.
1t should be realized that this
sum excludes the secret funds and
appropriations for war necessities
which are included in the budget CT
other ministries.
The great increase in the sex
tracrdinary expenditures" makes
necessary the issuance OF new loans
for covering budget deficits.
According to the figures of the
finance ministry, the national debt
of japan on August l of this wear
was alrsadv S3S0.045 900 ven. having
increased by 100000, 900 yen in one
month.
In view Of the devaluation of the
ven and the national debt in the
form of treasury notes and rice
bonds, the total sum of the national
debt on August really amounted
to 11,ooo.o0o,ooO yen.
These figures are an eloquent re-
ply to the attempts Of some parts
Of the European press, particul, rly
the English, to populariza the
peaceful intentions" OF japanese
imperialism.

ing for the purpose of shouldering
the burden OF relief directly upon
