Japan Claim Of Aiding Darker Peoples Is Lie

Japanese propaganda among the Ne
gro masses flows out of the present
tension IN the Far East, the efforts
OF the o. 8. TO egg Japan on against
the Soviet Union, in the hope Of
thereby weakening its chief imperi-
alist rival In the Far East and at
the same time striking a blow at
the main enemy OF imperialism. the
real champion Of the toiling masses
OF all colors-the proletarian power
In the Soviet Union.
In this situation, the Negro mis-
leaders come forward In their usual
role OF agents and defenders Of i'm
periahsm. This time it Is Japanese
imperialism that they champion, but
their slogans effectively sopport
world Imperialism, including q. s.
imperialism, since their advocacy Of
japanese imperialism serves to dull
the fight Of the Negro masses against
all imperialism. 1t is, indeed, de-
signed TO weaken the liberation Strug-
giles Of the Negro masses and to divert
them from the necessary unity with
all toilers, white and Chinese, and
especially with the japanese toilers
who are waging a heroic struggle
against their own imperiaIists and in
defense Of the Chinese masses and
the Soviet Union.
Aid White Supremacy Concerts
BY putting forward the conception
Of war OF the races, the Negro mis-
leaders give aid to the conceptions
Of Lotthrop Stoddard and other
white irnperialist biologists of q

lstion against the darker peoples.

Charles z. Ruthenberg, the Founder
Of the Communist Party OF the
q. S. A. Born July eth, 1882; died
March 2, 1917
BY A. MARRIOTT
Seven year ago our party gus-
tanned an irreparable loss. Comrade
Charles e. Ruthenberg was snatched
from our midst by premature death.
The memory Of Charles e. Ruthen-
berg will live in our Party; his name
is indelibly imprinted in the annals
Of the revolutionary proletafian
movement Of the U. s. A.
Many Of oIr young comrades who
entered the Party within recent
months know little about Comrade
Ruthenberg. On this day Of the an
niversary Of the death Of our leader,
It is necessary to give brief account
Of the life and activities OF Charles
e. Ruthenberg.
Comrade Ruthenberg, one Of the
founders Of the Communist Party Of
the q. S. A., was a consistent revoiu-
tioi1ary fighter and leader Of the
American working class. Throughout
his revolutionary career, beginning
with 1909, when he became the Re-
cording Secretary Of the City Central
Committee Of the Socialist Party in
Cleveland, Ohio, he demonstrated a
consistent line Of true revolutionary
leadership. He was tireless worker,
he had implicit faith in the toiling
masses, he fought against the rotten
opportunisnn within the Socialist
Party, rallying forces for correct
militant struggle against the capital
ist class. Comrade Ruthenberg alb
sorbed the teachings of Marx and
Lenin and used his knowledge and
ability to create feminist Party in
the q. S. A.
The most outstanding revolutionary
struggle led by CoInrade Ruthenberg
Yves the struggle against the impe-
yialist war. In the convention OF the

They thereby effectively strengthen
the hands Of the white imperialists
and justify their oppression Of the
darker peoples. They adopt this con-
ception because It Is in line with
the whole policy of jin1-crow Negro
bourgeois nationalism, Of race 10y
atty as opposed to Joint revolution
airy struggles OF all the toilers, white
and colored.
1t Is not q contradiction that
George Schuyler, ardent champion Of
the Firestone interests in Liberia,
supports also Japanese imperialism
and seeks to present the proposal to
unite by marriage the royal houses
Of Japan and Abyssinia as in the in
terests Of the African peoples:
Associated with Japan, the
Ethiopian kingdom Will doubtless
become power In Africa, albeit
similar to Manchuria and Korea"
Who are the champions OF the
darker peoples? To this question
there can be but one answer: the
forces which throughout the world
are engaged in an energetic, uncom-
promising and ruthless struggle
against the imperialist oppressors and
war-mongers. These forces are the
Soviet Union, where the national
n1inorities formerly oppressed under
tsarist imperialism have been fully
liberated; the Chinese Soviet Repub-
lie, and the revolutionary movement,
led by the Communist parties,
throughout the world, raising the
slogans Of self-determination and
unconditional equality for the Negro
peoples

Defense Scores First
Point in Trial of
Canada Labor Man
Court Intimates 1t Will
Permit Tim Buck, Jailed
Communist to Testify

TORONTO, Canada, March a.
The flrst point scored in the defense
OF A. E. Smith against sedition
charges has been chalked up in the
intimation Of Justice Kelly that Tim
Buck, Communist party leader, Will
be ordered brought from Kingston
penitentiary to Toronto as a material
witness for the defense. The Hon.
E. j. McMurray, K. c., chief defense
counsel for the Canadian Labor De-
tense, made the demand in court.
His sf1idavit, in part, declared
that the testimony Of the said Tim
Buck Is Of paramount Importance TO
the defendant, Albert e. Smith, as
it would show that there did exist
an error and defect in the admins
tration Of justice in Canada, which
the defendant was attempting to
have altered by lawful means.
THAT the testimony Of the said
Tim Buck will establish the cir
cumstances under which the alleged
seditiouS utterances were made, the
ASNSNAA Ava W4A4NAA OAlCy WClG ILldQE,
and the intention OF the speaker, the
accused A. e. Smith, on the occasion
and at the time when the alleged
seditious words were uttered"
Smith is charged with having said
that Premier Bennett ordered the
firing Of shots into the cell Of Tim
Buck, in an attempt TO murder him.
Peter White, K. c., crown prose-
cutor, in fighting against McNfurray's
motion, dug up law dating back
to 1722 and got himself involved in
tangled verbosity which most Of
those present in court at the time
are still trying to decipher.
It Is expected the trial will be re-
sumed during the week. Leo Gal
lagher, International Labor Defense
attorney from San Francisco, who
has Just returned from Germany
where he was associated with the
defense Of the Reichstag FIRE trial
defendants, will assist McMurray and

Socialist Party preceding the en-
trance Of the U. S. A. into the i'm
perialist war Of 1914-1918, Ruthen-
berg carried on fierce struggle
against the pro- ermanisrn of Victor
Berger and against the opportunist
line Of Morris Hillquit and others.
The Socialist Party often points to
the Anti-War Platform adopted at
their 1917 convention at st. Louis as
a sign that the Socialist Party fought
against war. Even that resolution
which suffered from many short
comings, was adopted after a hard
struggle led by Ruthenberg and his
followers. Whatever there was of
real opposition to war was introduced
by Ruthenberg In this he voiced the
proletarian rank and file S. P. senti-
ment. Hillquit and his followers tried
to introduce a Centrist, compromise
resolution camoudaged by phrases Of
neutrality to war, by pacifsrn, etc.
Comrade Ruthenberg came out with
an uncornpromising stand against the
war.
A speech that he delivered in
Cleveland on May 81, 1917, cialsed his
imprisonment by the U. n govern
rnent.
Ruthenberg on the Question Of
Immediate Demands
Comrade Ruthenberg stressed the
importance for the Communist Party
to participate in and lead the strug-
giles Of the workers for immediate de-
mands.
"The everyday struggles of the
workers. he said, create the most
favorable conditions for establishing
the influence and leadership of the
Communist Party. The workers learn
by experience in the struggle the
character Of the capitalist system

the struggle that the government OF

PARIS (By MaiD On the first
Gay of the great street battles in
Paris, Feb. 6, company Of soldiers
with rifles came marching toward
the Champs Elysees, where about
1000 workers were gathered in a
demonstration.
At once the workers surrounded
them, crying, Long live the soldiers!"
They fell in line with the soldiers,
shouting, Long live the Red Army!"
At the Alexander III bridge, the
officer in charge gave the order to
Fix bayonets. Shouts greeted the
order, and the soldiers did not obey.

another company of so soldiers came
marching up. Instantly they were

mingled as they marched, talking.

kids, I know what you feel"
soldiers and demonstrators

to the Left Wing in 1917. Ruthenberg
became the leader of the Lefty Wing
and led persistent fight which Gull

the S. P. and the formation of the
Communist Party, in September, 1919.
Ruthenberg became the Secretary Of

from performing his function as Sec

in Sing Sing prison imposed by the
State Of New York, under the Grim

death.
Building of the Party
To Conrade Ruthenberg the build

PLAN ABANDONED !
/. FOR UNITED CIGAR.
Earnings Gain and Other
New Factors Make
Change Advisable.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, September 13.-The
Reorganization Committee for United
Cigar Stores Co. announced today its
decision to abandon its plan of re-
organization promulgated In July of
last year, owing to changed conditions
which make 1t evident that the plan
cannot be put through In Its present
form.
Letters addressed by the committee
today to the holders of certificates of
deposit for Cigar Stores Realty Hold
ings. Inc, debentures and to other
participants in the plan Of reorgan-
ixation stated that, due to some i'm
provement in the earnings of the
United Cigar -Whelan Drug Stores
business and the liquidation of mis-
cellaneous securities and other assets,
the cash position Of the business has
proved to be better than 1t was antici-
pated and permitted the payment by
the trustee In bankruptcy Of United
Cigar Stores Co. Of three dividends
aggregating so per cent of allowed
claims, although the plan had con-
templated that only about 22.7 per
cent in cash could be paid to creditors.
In addition, the letter pointed out
that the plan was promulgated when
United Cigar Stores Co. was in bank
ruptcy. but that the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings had been superseded by re-
organization proceedings instituted by
the company under the recently
enacted corporate reorganization act
and that the present plan was not
adapted to the conditions and pro-
cedure under that act. :
The committee will release to the
Debenture Holders Protective Com
mtttee all debentures which have been
deposited with them and will make
distribution through the Guaranty
Trust Co. Of New York, depositary, Of

per cent, less expenses incurred by the
committee, to holders of certificates Of
deposit. and to owners Of allowed
claims which were assigned to the
Reorganization Committee. Dividends

have heretofore been distributed to
creditors represented by the commit
tee. Subscriptions received by the
committee for capital stock Of the
new company which was to be organ
lied under the plan have been can
