IOWA WPA STRIKE
JANUARY 2; ILLINOIS
WALKOUT POSTPONED

STANTON, Il1-(FP)-The walk
out Of Illinois WPA workers scheduled
for Dec. 10 was postponed a day earl
Ter by vote of the delegates from al
most a hundred points where WPA
projects are in operation. News of the
J an. 2 date set for the strike of WPA
workers in Iowa contributed to the
decision for delay.
WPA workers in both states are OBJ
tanning some promises of assistance
American Federation OF Labor orgaEi-
cations in their proposed strikes for an
ion wages on the work-relief projects.
Unions realize that the starvation wag-
es of as low as $40 for a months work
are undermining the living wages pre-
~eariously held by employed unionists.
In Illinois it is rumored that the WPA
officials are willing to make a compro-
mise at a 10 per cent raise and there
are similar indications in Iowa. Pri-
vately the WPA officials who are frien-
dly advise the workers that nothing but
mass pressure will induce Pres. Roose-
welt to change the starvation level OF
the so-called security wage he has fix
ed for work-relief jobs.
A high associate OF Relief Admins
traitor Harry Hopkins, a woman who
periodically tours the country to ad-
wise local administrators on matters OF
which no written record is desired, has
told administrators in Illinois and Wis
consin a similar story.
If only the people on relief were
more militant and disorderly it would
be easier to get money out of congress
for their needs" she has told midwest
administrators.
Illinois relief leaders also recall that
when the depression first began Gov.
Emmerson (Rep.) in the early '3Os re-
fused to OK relief appropriations. Told
that there would be serious riots, es-
pecially downstate, by starving citizens,
he answered, That's what we got the
military for"
He approved the relief measures,
however, when he was shown that re-
gular relief would cost the state much
less than keeping the national guard in
the field.

NEW YORK PASSES
FLAG ORDINANCE

NEW YORK-Another victory was
chalked up for "super-patriot' Viii
liam Randolph Hearst when the Board
OF Alderman Of New York, unanimously
adopted an amendment to the city's
Code Of Ordinances, providing that an
American flag, SO by 4S inches, shall
be displayed at all meetings where IS
or more persons are gathered to dis
cuss public questions.
This new ordinance is a direct re-
suit of the front-page editorials car
ried by Hearst's IN. Y. American" in
which he attacked the Thomas-Bro
der debate held in Madison Square Car
den under the auspices of the "Socia-
list Call"
More Gag Laws Expected
That this is only the beginning Of a
drive against Socialists, radicals, and
progressives was indicated by Alder
man Lambert Fairchid, when he said,
Il hope this is but the beginning. l
hope the next step will be the passage
of my ordinance against alien soap
boxers. These reds can and must and
should be restricted. Look through
the rolls of the employees of the relief
bureaus and you will see the number of
Communists there. You will realize the
necessity OF repression"
The American Civil Liberties Union,
the Socialist party, the Communist par
ty, and progressives are fighting this
measure as a gag law infringing the
right of free assemblage.

Will Japan, Last Of
Empires, Carve Out
Vast Domain in Asia?

The rulers of Japan are busy build
ing an empire on the Asiatic mainland.
They began this work in 1895 by seiz-
ing Formosa and making Korea "in-
dependent OF China. They are now
engaged in establishing the %"independ-
ence" OF North China. When this move
is completed, the Japanese will have I'M
der their control nearly million square
miles Of former Chinese territory and
more than l40 million Chinese, besides
the 20 million Koreans.
This is only a beginning.
japanese plans call for the "pacifica-
ton" OF all China and the control Of
Mongolia and of Siberia as far as Lake
Baikal. The more ambitious among
the Japanese are also looking south and
west as far as the Straits of Malacca.
They are also including in their dream
of empire the Philippines, the East In
dies and Australia.
The realization Of this dream would
give Japan ample supplies of raw mat
erials and fo%odstuffs; a wide field for
the profitable investment of japanese
capital; an inexhaustible supply of the
worlds lowest-paid labor; and a popu-
lation OF 800 or 700 colonial peoples
as a market for Japanese goods and as
a recruiting ground for the japanese
imperial army. Should the japanese
ruling class reach all of these objec-
tives, it would dominate the most pow
erful empire known to history.
incidentally, the Asiatic mainland that
Japan is now opening to Civilization"
is the last important undeveloped i'm
perial area on the planet, The Japan
csc ruling class is therefore engaged in
building the last OF the empires in point
of historic sequence,
The course that Japan's rulers have
charted for themselves is not an easy
one. To be sure, with the growing &C.
onomic and political difficulties in west
Europe and North America, there will
be little interference from the western
empires at any rate not for the
present. The immediate and pressing
difficulties lie close at home.
Japan is poor in resources and weak
financially. The home food supply is
insufficient and is raised by poverty
stricken farmers. The standard Of 1iv-
ing and therefore the buying power Of
the city workers also is low. But it is
this low standard OF living that has n
abled Japan to sell her goods across
the world and TO raise production 81
per cent since 1923 Compared with a
drop OF % per cent in the U. S. during
the same years.. To offset its poverty
Japan has a high degree of national
solidarity. The ruling class is well-in-
tegrased, energetic, vigorous. The
working masses are, on the whole, loyal.
