The activitiesincluded the establishment of anti-war committees in Scandinavian harboursduring the Manchurian Crisis in 1931–1932, the intensification of agitation andpropaganda work of the international seamen’s clubs in the Scandinaviancountries among German seamen as well as on the ISH call to boycott shipscarrying the Nazi German flag in 1933 and 1934.
