Ualual affray.
X X X II
In the meantime Italy is oiling her
military machinery. This expedition
against Ethiopia has given II Duce a
good chance to see how mobilization
would work out.
The drums of war have properly ex-
cited the Italian youth which had no
chance to taste battle in the World
War. They flock to recruiting sta
tions clamoring to be Incorporated in
units going over seas. The old war
cry "Avanti Savoia" resounds in the
most remote villages Of Italy.
Factories are working day and night
producing the necessary war material
(there are no profits to be made by
private individuals; the corporate state
does not allow fat dividends and
bonuses for the munition makers). &.
Women are enliSting and want to do
their part in factories while men are
prepared to die on the battle fields.
They all realize that this will be war
Of conquest, but it will not be to the
advantage of a few-every bit OF the
loot will go to the state.
It may be that these preparations
for an adventure in Africa viii help
Italy In case of a more serious and
more deadly conflict in Europe. Should
anything break within the next few
months, as competent observers fear,
Italy will be ready in "a hours to
march her divisions to any point
where their presence may be required.
Italy is playing a war game in dead
earnest.
Meanwhile, Minister Hugh Gibson,
Norman Davis understudy in the dis
armament efforts Of the State De-
partment, is running around like a
scared chicken at Geneva trying to
sell to the nations preparing for war
the idea Of controlling manufacture
Of arms and ammunition. He does
not get very far. The Italians don't
even mince their words. It's crazy
and unacceptable, they tell him.
The British, who were the loudest
in praising Mr.. Hull's idea as long as
it was merely an idea, say:
"The plan Is basically sound, OF
course. Most plans are. But this,
deah fellow, is not quite the moment
to discuss it."
The French shrlg their shoulders
and advise him to talk to the British
and the Italians. Whatever these ma
tions do, the French will follow.
The Soviet delegate quoted to the
American Minister an old Russian
proverb, which in translation runs
something like this:
1.-THE house is ablaZe and the old
woman inside is combing her hair.
But with the determination Of the
Jesuit missionaries of the seventeenth
century, who, while being tortured at
the stake, we're trying to convert the
Indians, Gibson is still trying to con-
vince the members Of the League OF
nations that the Hull plan must be
accepted, If the world Is to be saved
from chaos and disaster.

But it appears that arbitration. In
spite of the existing treaties, would be
humiliating to flrst-class power like
Italy, and Mussolini prefers to take
chance on spending millions to collect

Paul ObradoVtch,
DaVeGorman,Old
CPMemberS Dead

The working class of the United
States has lost two valiant fighters
in the death of Paul Obradoyich
and David German. Both were
charter members of the Communist
Party of the U. S. and active for
many years in the struggles of the
American workers.
Obradovich died in Ambridge, Pa.
at the age of As. German died in
Los Angeles where he had gone to
recuperate about year ago follow
ing a physical and nervous break
down as result of too strenuous
activity in the revolutionary move
ment.
Following a memorial meeting ad-
dressed by Pat Cush, Tom Myers
cough and Pete Muselin, as well as
representatives of Croatian and
Serbian fraternal organizations of
which Obradovich was for years an
active member, the workers of Am
bridge and vicinity joined in r.
block march through the streets of
the steel-dominated town.

miserable remains of any attitude
of principle disappeared, finally led
to their present degeneration, to the
position of counter-revolution, to-
ward complete betrayal of the So
cialist fatherland, toward criminally
and shamefully hiding in the folds
Of the swallow-tail coat of foreign
consults and hoping for interven-
ton, toward the bloody murder of
the priceless Kirov. Propagating
their solidarity with the Party in
the classroom and outside, these
people created their special "se-
pulchra1 little world" with furious
hate against the Party, accumulat-
ing nter-revolutionary rot and
filth and cultivating an theology
which already very little differed
from the theology of the scum of

In an attempt to replace some of
the gilt which has been rubbed off
the aviator's name by the disclo-

Freedom For
Jane Newton
Charges Against Wife of
Chicago n e gro
Leader Dismissed
Especial to the Daily worker

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Jane Emery
Newton, white wife Of Herbert New
ton, Negro Communist leader, was
freed yesterday morning as the at
tempt by Chicago landlords and
courts to railroad her to Jail COL
lapsed before the mighty city-wide
mobilization here in defense of the
rights of the Negro people. The
NeWtons were arrested in connec-
ton with the mass fight to prevent
their eviction from 615 Oakwood
Boulevard, when the chauvinist
landlord objected to having Newton,
his wife and baby in the building.
Jane Newton had been railroaded
to a 5000 fine in Judge Green's
court, and placed on probation after
an unsuccessful attempt by the
judge to have her declared insane
because she married Negro. The
disorderly charges were dismissed
yesterday, the fine revoked and the
probation lifted.
The mass fight here won another
significant victory later in the day
in another court, when Herbert
Newton and five others were freed
on charges of picketing the Oak
wood Relief Station. The decision
was made after a demonstration by
workers inside the court, and their
decision to wait all night if neces-
sary to prevent the conviction of
Newton.
Newton faces two other charges
arising from the struggle against his
eviction. He will be tried on Mon
day, 2 pm, at Twenty-sixth and
California.
Arthur w. Mitchell, new demo-
cratic Congressman from the First
Illinois District, had refused a re-
quest by 300 voters of the Third
Ward that he intercede to secure
the release of Newton, who was in
BrideWell Jail at the time for de-
handing public works jobs for Ne
groes. Mitchell pretended that "the
address given was not in his terri
tory" and referred the voters to
Congressman McKeough, in a letter
addressed to David r. Poindexter
workers candidate for Alderman
of the Third Ward.
This is lodging the question
plain and simple" Poindexter de-
clared today. Everyone knows that
Herbert Newton was evicted from
his home at Sis lakewood Boule-
ward, which is square in the middle
of Mitchells district. He was SEN
fenced to Bridewell for Y days for
picketing the new high school at
50th and State SITS, demanding the
right of Negroes to employment
there. If this is not a case for our
Congressman to take up, then what
is?"

way to satisfy his whims. Until the
Daily Worker pointed out last week
that he was relatively unguarded
in the courtroom, the troopers al

them to its ranks, gave them its
generous confidence. But here again
they cynically betrayed the Party.
"Vowing fidelity to the Party,
they organized against the latter
in their underground groups and
centers. Eulogizing its victories
and achievements, they malig-
nantly laughed over its difficulties
and waited for their failure"
Flattering its leaders, they pro-
voked hatred toward them. Not
sparing words about revolution,
they rallied their cadres against
it. While calling for socialist con-
struction, they organized their
forces to deal blow to this con-
struction.

------------A-
Nazi detective last Friday who
tried to fasten the crime on Fisch,
Reilly brought forward two Gath
Ole priests who declared that Fisch
and Hauptmann were partners in
illegal fur transactions in an d
around Hopewell, N. j., in the period
Immediately preceding the kidnap-
ing. An assistant Of one of the
priests, who saw the two fur mer-
chants, told newspapermen that he
couldn't verify the priests identifi-
cation. According to the story of
the priests themselves, one of the
men was so years old. Both Haupt-
mann and Fisch were from Is to
20 years under this figure.
Hauptmann Had $4,000
Attorney General Wilentz said
yesterday that he would prove that
Hauptmann, who had no income
other than that forthcoming from
his earnings as a carpenter, was in
possession of $49, 900 soon after DR..
Condor gave $4,000 to the "rnys-
ferrous John" at the gate of a Bronx
cemetery.
Notwithstanding the web of evil
dence which is slowly but inexorably
involving Hauptmann in the COM
mission Of the kidnapping, along with
others who are being shielded. the
Nazi defendant is being accorded
the consideration that is ordinarily
extended to Nazi ambassador
rather than to a burglar with a
long prison record, charged with the
great crime" of the generation.
A few days ago when he COM
mented audibly on the poor ventil-
alton in the courtroom, Judge Tren-
chard Immediately ordered the win

liking for Limberger cheese recent
ly, a special supply was ordered

gained nationwide notoriety for
their brutality to strikers, greet him

MOSCOW, Jan. 20 (By Wireless).
The mood of grim indignation felt
by the entire Soviet Union toward
the counter-revolutionary zinoviev
clique was reflected in a leading
editorial in yesterdays Izvestia, the
Soviet government organ.
Millions of workers and collec-
tive farmers" Izvestia declares,
Party and non-Party builders of
socialism, who by dint of all the
strength of their brain and hearts
are building a new world, read the
stern indictment of the prosecuting
magistrasy with anger and indig-
nation, against the zinovievite or

how these people-the zinoviev's, the
Aamenevs and those surrounding

It is reported that a special rush

The clerks Of the 2Ist Street sta

Thus far in New York and Phila-
delphia the company, in place Of
attempting to bring in scabs, has
organized the supply of its Gus
toners with goods from plants not
yet organized.
The Communist Party, having
local organizations in virtually every
one of the 40 cities where the N.
B, C. has plants, is issuing appeals
to the workers to support the
strikers of the five cities and to re-
fuse to produce products for strike
breaking purposes. Action is like
wise being taken to reach post Of
flee clerks for solidarity action. The
Communist Party is calling for sup
port for the N. B. c. workers, urged
that protest actions be organized in
every part of the country against the
use of the post office for strike
breaking purposes.
In New York, an increasing num-
her OF placards are being placed in

mendous interest to the speech of
a worker named Kaligina, repre-
senting the city of Kalinin This
town, the center Of the textile IN
dustry, is called here THE WOmen's
Soviet Republic" The working wO-
men there promote excellent mass
organizers from their ranks. They
lead the town Soviet, they direct the
big factories, fill the technical col
leges, etc. Kaligina related how the
city of Kalinin was becoming ever
more cultured, how the enthusiasm
of creation affects even the most
backward strata of the population.
The Congress warmly greeted the
delegate Struppe, representative of
the Leningrad region. Struppe de-
Scribed the remarkable activity dis
played by the entire population in
the concluded election campaign
The whole Of the region opened out
before the Congress in Struppe's
speech. He spoke of the steady
development Of industry and agri-
culture, and concluded with words
full Of anger hatred and contempt
for the murdererS of the beloved
leader of the Leningrad toilerS, Ser
gel Kirov, and those inspiring them.
Gladov, an old collective farmer
of the Saratov region, with youth
full fire gave his impression of the
work of the collective farms. The
delegates applauded when Gladov
told the Congress about the bitter
struggle with the relics of the class
enemy which the Soviet villages are
conducting, affirming the indie
structibility of the collective farm
system.
Every delegate participating in
the discussion, illustrated, by fig
ures and facts taken from various
parts of the varied life of the coun-
try, the enormous growth of the So
Wet Union and the increase in the
demands of the toilers.
Delegates spoke from the KAYAK
stan steppes. People spoke from the
distant polar regions. The delegate
from the Gorky region, Ostrovsky,
in his speech recalled that the
Gorky Auto Plant, which didn't ex-
ist at the time of the previous Con-
gresS, now has already given the
country $4,000 automobiles. The
delegates plainly felt the distance
separating the 18th from the 18th
Congress of Soviets.
The representatives OF the West
ern and Voronoezh regions spoke
about the great achievements of
these formerly poor forgotten dis
tr1cts. Particularly i'm presSive
changes have taken place in Vo-
ronezh, which, in the recent past,
was backward agrarian region.
During the last few years, big in
dustrial enterprises have arisen.
Machine construction and the man
ufacture of cement and synthetic
rubber occupy an important place
in the economy Of the region. The
Vohonezh delegate, Orlov, devoted
the concluding part of his speech
to the published material on the &C
tivity of the Zinoviev counter-revo-
lutionary group. Reading this ma
terial, Orlov said:
Each of us is filled again and
again with hatred and contempt for
the pitiful dregs of the counter
revolution. With still greater inten-
sity we are filled with love for our
Party and its leader, Comrade Sta
lin. The delegates at the Congress,
like the entire country, unanimously
demand the most stern measures of
punishment for the traitors and
/ open enemies of the working class.
