Rothermere Fears Swing
to Left With Deepening
of the Crisis

LONDON, Jan. 15.-In a promin-
entity displayed front page article in
the London Daily Mail" with a
circulation of 100000, Lord Roth
ermere leads the fascist crusade with
an appeal to the British youth to
join the fascist movement organized
by Sir Oswald Mosley, a former lead
ing light of the British Labor Party.
Rothermere attacks the present
National government Of Tories and
Socialists" as incapable of saving
capitalism and as not sufficiently
brutal in its attacks on the British
working class and its Communist
vanguard. He warmly praises the
murder regime of Hitler in Germany
and Mussolini in Italy, and declares
that the only hope of British CAPT
talism is to reorganize the govern
ment along fascist lines, that is, to
draw the naked sword Of fascist die
tatorship against the working masses
and to scrap all democratic forms
and pretensions.
Allied with Lord Rothermere in
his fascist crusade is Lord Beaver
brook, the next largest publisher in
Great Britain. Their newspapers are
flooding Britain with articles prais-
ing the anti-working class policies OF
Hitler and Mussolini. The two pub
fishers, long bitter rivals for control
of the British press, are now united
on the fascist program.
Sir Oswald Mosley joined the Brit
ish Labor Party in 1924, later allying
himself Gin 1929 with the Labor In
dependents" With four others he
seeded from the party to organize
the British Union Of Fascism." Es
visited Mussolini last April and re-
ceived the fascist salute Of $4,000
italian blackshirts. He also sent four
delegates to the Nazi party congress
at Nuremburg last September.

were being pushed yesterday with the
selection of ceremonial robes. The
Manchukuo robe in which he was
cloaked when as boy Emperor he
mounted the throne of China at the
age Of three will be used. Selection
of this robe, together with steady
japanese penetration into North
China, strengthens the suspicious in
Chinese and foreign diplomatic

invasion of North China in force is
expected to precede or follow the
coronation under the slogan Of

The aims Of japanese imperialism
in North China are part Of the more
ambitious plan for invasion Of the
Soviet Union, predicted by foreign
observers as set for this spring.

'SEver since I came to the Georgetown unit
Washington, D. C0-about two months ago-con-
rades kept on saying that you can't sell the Daily
Worker? any other literature out there
"The reason is they said that people are too poor
and can't afford three cents, or there are many
government employees, and they are not interested
in reading this paper and, as our own Daily Worker
agent expressed himself, Even if you give them
away for nothing, they'll only throw them away
on Sunday, January 7, however, we found it
much different. 1t was Red Sunday for the spe-
cial Tenth Anniversary issue of the Daily Worker
On that morning at 10 o'clock a comrade and my
self went out to that section to meet other comrades
when we got there there was nobody around
Then we had job to go from one comrades house
to the other to find out what was wrong The first
house We got to- found two comrades one was still
IN bed, and the other was cooking We asked them
whether they were ready to go out The answer was
too busy cooking and furthermore that its no use
going out because we won't sell any papers anyway
The other comrade claimed that he was too tired to
go out.
After brief discussion with him he was con-
WINGED that the question Of the Daily Worker was
very important, and was the first to go out-Vrtr
another comrade.
Within half hours time they sold 30 papers
and, OF course, he was very enthusiastic about it.
Seventy papers were sold by six other comrades
in no time at all. Many workers told US to bring the
paper every day.
This is good lesson for other comrades.
When you stop talking and actually get down n
work, you accomplish lot"

dlsposing Of the Anniversary Edition of the Daily
worker can be duplicated in hundreds of cities of the

A JUDGE SPEAKS UP
Bismarck, N. Oak.
April Il, 1894

Editor, Tribune:
The movement for more care and
greater caution on the highways
should have the cooperation OF all
automobile drivers. Negligent driv-
ing and excessive speed Is the cause
Of o5 per cent Of the collisions and
other accidents on the road.
Besides the deaths and permanent
injuries resulting from these acci-
dents, the public Is burdened with
the cost OF litigation that runs into
thousands Of dollars. In fact large
percentage Of the cases at each term
Of court grow out Of the negligent
operation OF automobiles on the pub
lie highways.
A little care and caution on the
part Of every driver in meeting and
passing other cars, and In slowing
down when the view Is DISTRACTED at
hills or curves, would reduce acct
dents very materially, and save many
lives.
Very truly yours,
