THE greatest secrecy has
l shrouded Hitler's military
avia tion program. Some
French military authorities
declare that within a few
months, German fascism will
have $4,000 planes available
for war purposes. Agreement on
air ornaments is the nub of the
Anglo-French proposals, now up TO
Hitler.
News from the underground route
in Germany that reaches us gives
some details of Hitler's feverish de-
velopment of air ornaments. A
new atrplane and seaplane base has
been established at -Hotenau,
and is being steadily enlarged. New
barracks and hangers are springing
up every day. New flying material
arrives continually.
The Kiel forts (Moetort. Schoen-
kirchen, Moncheberg, Heikendorf,
Laboe, etc., which were dismantled
in accordance with the terms of
the Versailles Treaty, are being put
into service again.
A LII the men engaged in this work
"A have been sworn to silence on
the pain Of death. Not all keep
their oath, hence this information,
The military troops recently ar
irving at Kiel did not wear the
RelchsVehr uniform. Instead, they
we're fitted out with special war
gear. They wear two crossed an
chors and the roman No. as a
badge. These men were formerly
in labor camps"
So intense are air war maneu-
vers at Kiel, where the canal con-
meets the North Sea with the Baltic
Chat is, the sea gateway to the
East, to the Soviet Union) that 80
airmen have been killed in the
past year while making training
flights. The authorities attributed
some of the deaths to sabotage
and made many arrests.
| GONE news not published in the
y capitalist press; The economic
situation in Shanghai grows worse
daily. A number of factories have
closed down, due to the currency
crisis. Textile production fell 25
per cent in the last few months of
1884 Silk production dropped 10
per cent, and iron and steel output
90 per cent. There is an acute rise
in the number of unemployed.
More than 30 banks and 10 factories
in Shanghai have been declared in
solvent.
The Canton Chamber of Com
merce announced that more than
1000 Chinese firms in the Province
of Kwanttung have ben forced to
close down. Similar information
comes from Tientsin, Peiping and
other leading industrial centers.
The Shanghai Times announces
that all the branch offices of the
leading banks are being besieged by
clients anxious to withdraw their
deposits
DISCUSSIONS in the Finnish par
~ lament brought out the fact
that the government was supplying
the Socisl-Democratic Party infor-
nation about the illegal activities Of
the Communist Party of Finland.
The Minister of the Interior,
arguing for the need to extend the
Ochrana political police patterned
after the Czarist organization) read
off directives and decisions of the
Communist Party of Finland, deal
ing with work in factories, the
united front and trade union ac-
tivity. He then said:
GAS soon as the changed tactics
of the Communists became known
the Ochrana informed the leaders
of the legal Social-Democratic Or
CARNATIONS on it in order that they
be enabled to work against the &C
Invites of the Communist groups.
But not only the workers organiza-
lions, but also others have to be
aware of Communist activity. Re-
Gently, a leader of the defense corps
was arrested because he was at the
same time a leader of an illegal
Communist local. .
THE London Daily Worker re-
! Gently carried a report of British
Justice to the Negro natives of the
Kenys colony. South Africa. Seven
: natives of the Ltlmbwa tribe were
executed at Nairobi recently for
having killed a white settler. In
the same month in which they
we're sentenced, white woman was
sentenced to six months imprison-
ment for ordering Negro to be
flogged to death. The seven who
were hanged had been robbed of
their land, driven to starvation and
robbery.
