JAPAN LAYS
RIFT TO u. s.
Pact Abrogation Spurs
Naval Race Among
Imperialist Powers

TOKYO, Dec. 81. - The ruthless
determination to press Japan and
Britain in the wise Of the Washing
ton treaty, the terms of which had
been so advantageously framed in
the interests of American imperial
ism, was directly responsible for
Japan's remuneration of the treaty,
it was asserted here.
The final seal of the Emperor on
the documents abrogating the treaty
is being seized by the militarist
clique here and their financial back
ers as a signal that the die is cast
that the inevitable naval and arms
race provoked by American finance
capital will find Japan ready to
sweat and starve her population in
order to reach and maintain naval
equality with Wall Street.
For propaganda's sake japanese
diplomats are anxious to avoid the
impression of launching an arms
race SO quickly after the fall of the
naval limitations conference. De-
claring that denunciation was &C
tuated by 'the most peaceful mo-
tives," the Foreign ONCE here in
timated that a few weeks would be
allowed to pass until the great dis
appointment of the masses - who
are now concretizing a race in war
preparations in terms Of intolerable
taxes and deeper poverty-will have
somewhat subsidized.
This strategy of CLOSING over the
economic ruin which accompanies
war preparations and of melting to
nationalism and race hatred is no
more than a duplication Of war
Indictment and war preparations
now brewing in the United States.
Huge sums of money, apparently not
included in the recent japanese bud
get for the coming year are being
sunk into war fertilization, sub
marine and ship wharves, and fort
resses now being completed with
great haste on the inundated islands
in the Pacific, especially on the
Mariana Islands. In its entirety
the enormous war budget of Japan
csc Imperialism is exceeded only by
the much greater outlay provided
by American capitalism through the
Vinson Bill and other huge approp-
riations.

IF the workers were allowed to go over the private

du Points, they would how clear and true is the
Communist Partys exposure of these forces, and
their fascist program against American labor.
At the Senate Arms Committee just one of the
private letters from John j. Raskob high official
in the Morgan-controlled General Motors Company,
to another leading executive in the du Point war
industries, was brought to light.
What does it show?
In so many words, it says the Morgans, Rookie
felers, Gu Points, Melons, taking the lead in
attacking the Communists and preserving capitalist
society against the struggles of the working class.
1t is an open appeal to one of the most power
full capitalist forces in the United States, of
the biggest war trusts, to organize fascist group
for drive against the Communist Party against
Communist ideas and against labor which refuses
to starve SO that few may get richer.

Another Negro Attacked

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn, Dec. I'll
Lynch violence against the Negro
population here, including an at
tempt to stab Negro orderly at
t h local hospital, continued
throughout last night in a gruesome
sequel to Wednesdays mob attack
on the courthouse during the trial
of E. x. Harris, a Negro worker.
The Negro orderly had attempted
to assist in the removal of the body
of Clifford Freeman, one of the
lynch leaders shot by National
Guardsmen defending the court
house, when a white man attacked
him with knife. A white nurse
protected the Negro by throwing
herself between him and his as
sailant.
Freeman, a mechanic, had died
yesterday, increasing the total of
dead to four. The other known
dead are Raleigh Edwards, an in
terror decorator, and Pat LaWes, a
farmer. Local authorities have
thrown thick shroud of mystery
around the identity of the fourth
dead lynch leader, leading to the
belief that he is either city off,
cial or prominent local business
man. His body is reported to have
mysteriously disappeared" after he
had been declared dead by DR..
Joseph L. Morton, county health
officer.

MASSES HAIL
BIRO-BIDJAN
Widespread Solidarity
Greets Regions
Congress
Especial to the Daily worker)

MOSCOW, Dec. 81 (By Wireless) .
The First Congress of Soviets of
the Jewish Autonomous Region is
becoming the occasion of the most
widespread demonstrations of the
international solidarity of all the
toiling peoples of the q. S. S. R.
Not only is the Moscow press de-
voting considerable space to the
Congress and to the prospects for
development of the Jewish Region
but the central organ of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union,
Pravda, is publishing a special issue
in which Biro-Bidjan occupies
chief place in a perspective of the
history and development of the Far
Eastern erritory. The Khabarovsk
journal, TikhokensKaya Zvezda, de-
voted two full pages to the Con-
gresS, and the Red Army paper,
Trevoga, one full page. Both papers
carry slogans in Yiddish.
On the second day of the Con-
gress the main feature was speech
by Layrentyev, secretary of the Far
Eastern Party Committee, whose
appearance caused a tremendous
ovation. Layrentyev said in part:
THE creation of the Jewish
Autonomous Region is great holi-
day. We rejoice and are heartened
by the numerous delegations and
greetings, not only from the Far
Eastern Territory but from all over
the U. S. S. R. and from capitalist
countries. We must justify their
expectations and strike for great
achievements. Our next task for
the near future is the creation of
Jewish Autonomous Republic.
Mikhail Kalinin, President of the
Soviet Union, in a talk with the
Jewish workers in Moscow, spoke
of ten years within which this task
must be accomplished: I'VE must
even work to shorten this period.
Difficulties must be overcome. In
1895 the basis must be laid for a
great upswing and for further rapid
development. The immediate tasks
are to createa large industry and
strong agriculture, to develop the
creative forces of Socialist Jewish
culture. We boldly assure our
guests that we, sent here by the
Communist Party, will fully carry
out these tasks, for the entire coun-
try will help to build the Jewish
Autonomous Region. The Bolsheviks
of the Far East will fight for the
rapid advance of the Jewish Auton-
omous Region"
American Worker Speaks
At the Congress other speakers
who conveyed their greetings were
A representative of the Leningrad
delegation, which presented gifts
from Leningrad factories; Marhish,
poet delegate of the Jewish
writers; Korean worker, repre-
sentative of the Khabarovsk Avia-
ton Club, who spoke in the name

Hitler of course, has come out with his slave
labor camps for encouraging people to work, and
has developed huge war preparations program,
and wage and relief slasfing campaign "encour-
aging people to get rich"
Raskob wants an organization here in the
United States to come out openly to fight Comnu-
nism along Hitler's line. He makes perfectly clear
why. To help the wealthy bankers the Rockefel-
lers the Mcrgans, du Points, Fords Melons retain
their wealth at the expense of holding the toiling
population in subsection to the big trusts and their
starvation program. He wants few to get rich
while the great masses are driven to slave and die
on the battle fields for the god-chosen few 1or
whom Mr.. Raskob speaks.
That he means this small group Of fabulously
rich bankers ard trust owners, he makes crystal
clear in his letter:

SILK WORKERS.
Non Elected Group Is
Reported to Have
Made Contract

PATERSON, N. j., Dec, d. = The
negotiations committee of the
American Federation of Silk Work
ers here, which was never elected
by the membership but is conduct
ing conferences with the manufac-
turers, has agreed to submit the
question of wages to arbitration. A
contract expiring in September,
1886, and providing for union recog-
milton is reported to have been con-
cluded yesterday.
The membership generally is
aroused against submitting the ques-
ton Of wages to arbitration, seeing
in it a move to include the present
scales following the wholesale wage
cuts, as the scale in the new con-
tract. The workers voted last month
to strike against the wage cut, but
Eli Keller, Lovestoneite manager Of
the union refused to call the strike
at the last moment, and entered
into secret negotiations with the
manufacturers
Cite Dyers' Victory
The silk workers are especially
aroused in view of the recent vic
tory of the dyers. VINO, by refusing
to accept arbitration, and depend
ing on their militant leadership and
mass picket lines, have gained a 16
per cent increase and many other
concessions. 1t is further reported
that the proposed contract is to be
voted upon through a secret ballot.
The workers, as the dyers did in a
similar case, will resist a secret
ballot on the grounds that it is a
scheme in the hands of the reac-
tiorary Keller off1cialdom to fake
the poll. An open discussion and
decision at a mass meeting will be
demanded by the rank and file ele-
ments in the union.
Keller Seeks to Balk Elections
Seeing his paid job in the union
doomed in the coming elections,
Keller is desperately attempting to
delay election arrangements and to
interfere as much as possible. The
The election in the broadsilk de-
partment which was scheduled to
take place tomorrow will not take
place because Keller found reason
to object to the manner in which
the election committee, composed of
rank and file workers, was elected at
membership meeting. The COM
mittee appealed against Keller at
the Joint Board of the union, and
Kellers objections were overruled
Final arrangements and an election
date will be set at the meeting of
the Executive Board of the broad
silk department tomorrow.

NAILS RANKS
SPLIT IN u. S.
Members Accuse Each
Other of Corruption
and Graft

The constantly growing diSsatis-
faction of the members of the Nazi
organization in the United States
with the activities of their assorted
"Fuehrers," has led to a new crisis
not the first one and probably
not the last one-in the Friends Of
the New Germany" and to a split
in New York. This rift is accom-
panied by mutual accusations of
corruption, "treachery," and has
finally caused the Fascist leaders
in Germany to order the German
Embassy in this country to inter
vene between the two warning fac
tons.
The indications of these develop
ments came as the "Arbeiter," Ger
man language paper of the Commu-
mist Party, learned in a meeting Of
the Bronx branch of the Friends"
on Dec. 6, where the national leader,
DR.. H. Schnuch, and the whole ma
tional leadership, was openly &C
cused of stealing money belonging
to the organization. On the fol-
lowing day, Josef Schuster, East
ern District Leader" ordered the
summary dismissal from their
functions of all local leaders in this
district. with the exception Of the
faithful" Bronx leader.
The Opposition" group, which is
in possession of proofs of the
swindle and other criminal actions
of the national leadership, informed
the District Attorney. with the
result that explosions from the or
ganization followed. The headquar-
tiers of the New York Branch were
watched by policemen, apparently
on the demand Of the national lead
ership.
N. Y. Faction Takes Paper
Thereupon Anton Haegele, leader
Of the New York Branch and the
formal owner of the Nazi paper
'Deutscher Beobachter," as well as
its plant, took possession of the
paper and utilized it for the pur-
poses of the opposition. tt e
'Deutscher Beobachter" of Dec. Is
was published under the editorship
of the Haegele faction, which an
nounced in big headlines "the end
of Encouragement" and 'the self
destruction of DR.. Schnuch, Kappe,
Gissibl and Co."
The Schnuch group then pub
lished a leaflet under the mast
head "Deutscher Beobachter," in
which they announced that Haegele
and several other members had been
expelled from the Friends" A
large-scale leaflet war" followed
in which the Schnuch- Gissibl fac
ton published four more leaflets
