‘Dr. Julius Suchy charged that

tance to backward countries” put
forward by the imperialist pow-
ers at the United Nations “meet-
ing in Geneve, aim’ only at in-
creased exploitation of strategic

million ($330 million) in 1949. |.

The bulk of the profits go to
the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation—
and the Japanese workers, skilled
engineers, get $10.75 a week.

Commenting With pride on the
cleverness of this arrangement,
a correspondent in the New York
Times remarks: ‘Besides the
cheap labor, there is a substan-
tial saving in shipping charges.”
_By this device American cars
can be sold in the world market
at. prices far below British cars
—and make greater profits.

e

But the Kaiser-Frazer and
- similar “American concerns now
manufacturing in Japan wish to |
be considered benefactors of hu-
manity, generous and. big-minded.

They declare that the great |

advantage of this arrangement is
that “dollar hungry” cuntries can
buy American goods without hav- é
ane to pay in dollars.

The “dollar hungry” countries ~
which the American concerns
have particularly in mind de,
they declare, the countries of —
southeast Asia, such as India and ~
Indonesia, the countries of Latin
Ameyica, such as Brazil and
' Chile, the countries of the middle
East, of Africa, and in short most
_ of the world.

Do these dollar hungry coun-
tries want typewriters?

An American concern has
thoughtfully made all arrange-
ments for them. You can now
buy Remington-Rand typewriters
marked, “Made in Japan.” -

The patehts, parts, and profits
are American. But sweated Jap-
anese labor, at $9.25 ‘a week or
less (payable monthly to dis-
courage strikes and simila Com-~
munist activities), puts them on
the world market. ;

Or perhaps you want some
rayon goods?

The American Vibcbas Com-
pany and the Goodyear, Rubber
Corporation are at your service.

hey have recently taken over
_the Imperial Rayon Company “i

But of course they don’t aed
with paying wages of $9 a week
or so. They are not employing
skilled engineers—$6 a week or
less, often far less, is good enough

Fords and General Motors have

Kaiser-Frazer; the California

cently taken over the Japan’

consultants are now establishing
control in the Japanese hydro-
electric industry and so ‘on.

But the one outstanding thing ;
in post-war Japanese politics is —
that the Japanese workers do

_ They organized trade ‘unions.

Thereupon their American over-
lords banned the trade union

The Japanese {workers organ-
ized a workers press to put their
point of view. So in the past two
years nearly 1,500 Japanese work-
- ing-class and progressive papers |
have been suppressed by Generals
MacArthur and Ridgway, and
their Japanese underlings.

The Japanese workers organ-
‘ized their own political party— —
the Communist -party—to defend |
their interests. But their Amer-
ican, rulers ordered the arrest of
the party’s leaders. ye
The Japanese workers are note
deterred. But they do expect that
workers in ‘Britan or any other
country will not sit idly by while
the American scheme for driving
a country’s goods out of the —
world market through the intense
exploitation of Japanese cheap
labor is pushed ahead. — ie

Only force prevents the Jap-
anese workers. from getting de- —
cent wages—and_ that force is
largely American. . as as ‘
