Against the War Makers!

THE NOTE of approaching imperialist war is rising
steadily in the capitalist press.
Six U. S. Naval planes sweep over the Pacific to
Hawaii, and the capitalist journalist hirelings gush
over the "epic flight" But the Naval Commander OF
the planes mentions quietly that the planes could have
flown another 1900 miles-in the direction of Japan
Hawaii is strategic naval-military base for opera
tions-against whom2
The significance OF the fight is not lost on the
japanese imperialistS.
Meanwhile the special Moscow Correspondent OF
the Daily Worker reports that Pravda" organ of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet Union reveals that
the japanese machine is extending CONSOLIDATE
ing its base in Northern China, moving toward
the Soviet borders with desperate and headlong speed
It prepares openly for intervention building arpane
bases and military highways right up to the borders
Of the Workers Fatherland.
At the time the capitalist press carries scare
stories from the League of Nations Labor Office at
Geneva about the ruthless japanese drive against
Britain and U. S. Imperialism for the markets of In
Ola, South America and Latin America. The Inter
national Labor Office at Geneva reveals that japanese
imperialism, with the aid of the deprecated yen is
wrestling the textile markets of India from Great
Britain and the markets of South America from Amer

Already the sound of jingoistic anti-Japanese
hatred snars in these scientific" studies of the British
dominated League Of Nations report

sacre of Negro workers is planned by
reactionary elements, under the close

against the employment Of foreign
born workers, measure which has
succeeded to some extent in splitting
the ranks of the toilers. With the
Cuban Communist Party and revolu-
tionary trade unions successfully ex-
posing the anti-labor character Of
this measure, the reactionaries, die
rected by Roosevelt's agent, now plan
a blood bath against the Negroes,
who comprise about one-fourth Of
the population and have taken
leading role in the agrarian, anti

Cuban revolutionary leader murdered
by Machado asSasSins in Mexico.
The policeman was taken to the
police station where the students de-

of attempted murder. The precinct
chif attempted to sidestep the issue
with a statement to police and SOL

for bombings and individual terror.
This was vigorously denied by a
spokesman for the students, who
clarified this issue to the soldiers and
policemen, exposing the responsibility
Of the Grau government and the
counter ABC student

Yesterday afternoon, 5000 students

SHANGHAI, Jan. l2.-With Nan

port, southern warlords are rapidly
organizing a new alignment in a race
with Marking to control Fukien
Province. Conferences in Canton
during the past few days between
Kwangtung and KwangSi nilitaristS
indicate an early extension of the
Generals Civil War raging in Fukien
and Northwest China.
Marking shells are beginning to
fall in Foochow city, but the 18th
Route Army Of the F'ukien secession
ist regime is still holding out at Ku-
ten, SO miles northwestward. The
daring raids of Chinese Red Army
forces and peasant instructions also
constitute q grave menace to the
Marking rear. In Western Fukiep
and on the Kiangsi- Chekiang front,
the Red Army is holding its lines
intact despite the superior arma-
ments Of the enemy.
The men of the 18th Route Army
at Foochow are preparing for des-
perate defense OF the city. Behind
their strong first line they are en-
trenching in a second line and
mounting artillery on the city walls
The defense, however, is threatened
by treachery from the officers, who
are dickering with merchants of the
city who have offered a rich reward
for betrayal of the defense. The
Marking government has also indi-
Gated it would find positions for Tssi

he be sought was considered point
less. Had Van der Lubbe spent the
time in Henningsdorf in the company
of Communists, the matter would
have been cleared up long since.
Gentlemen of the Court! No one
was interested in finding Vashchinski,
search was made along false lines,
the incendiaries were sought not
where they were to be found, but
where they were not to be found.
They were sought in the ranks of the

and moreover gave number of peo-

cape. So it was decided that since
the true culprits had not been found,
others had to be taken.

The working class of Germany did
not understand this wisdom either in

Dimitroff: Herr President, much

as "deploring" the Nazi action be-
cause Of "the impression it is going
to make and has already made in
Holland and the rest of the world.
The domestic advantages of the eX-
ecution, if there are any, are out
weighed by the indignation which I'M
doubtedly will arise in our country

The Dutch Ambassador, whose gov
eminent Us ruthlessly attacking anti
Nazi demonstrations in Holland, is
clearly afraid that the impression will
be strengthened abroad that the Ma
zis hurried through the execution of
van der Lubbe to make sure that he
would never reveal the names of his

leaders were framed. He is alarmed
