Educating the Chinaman

Hayelock Ellis once said that China was the
most civilized of any nation ON earth. Certainly
China has cultural history that, in point of time
compares with our own like sage with a child.
And perhaps the comparison will hold in other
respects as well. 1t is very possible that our
notion of China's backwardness is due to a per-
verted view engendered by a complacent satisfac-
ton with own artificial and stimulated sense
of superior western culture.
But however old and traditional the culture
Of people may be, world economy has very
material way Of paying no attention to it, West
ern Imperialism takes the same attitude towards
strange idols as Tamerane Nor is it in other
respects any the less brutal than Tamur and his
golden horde. The difference is that Tamerlanes
Mongols went about their rapacious business with
commendabe unhypocrsy. Western Imperialism
destroys with smile of pious justification.
Our troops went to China years ago ostensibly
to suppress the Boxers. What they did was to
give America a commercial foothod and come
away with $14,000,000 indemnity in the bargain
Last year, congress was overwhelmed with an
exaggerated feeling Of it's own generosity. 1t de-
cded to give the money back. But not to the Chin
ese government. 1t gave the money, or rather,
returned it, for educational purposes" A special
commission, headed by an American, of course,
was set up to see that the fund was used for
educational purposes only.
That was the best investment the u s. govern
ment has made in years. Educational appropria-
tions are always the best kind Of propaganda cap

culated to help 'Westernize" China. The more
China is westernized the more fit it becomes for

Walk Right Up and Ring the Bell

Above ALL rebels should not have inferiOrity com
plexes. Rebel training is directed as much against
this complex as against mental confusion. And
there is certain connection between the two that
we don't now wish to take the time to go into.
But we can all be agreed that such states Of mind
have no place in a rebel movement
If rebels, we have got to talk rebellion un-
der all possible circumstances. We have got to
speak our minds about capitalism on every oc-
casion that presents itself. Those are propagand-
lists who not afraid to talk
Something that gives an excuse to talk propagan-
da is something that is appreciated and taken ad-
vantage of by the real rebel That something, for
one, is the DAILY WORKER.
At this time, in many cities of the country, the
DAILY WORKER is making propaganda possib-
ilities that are not overlooked by those members
who appreciate the value of extensive propaganda
The DAILY WORKER is conducting local sub
scription drives By supplying special "sub' equip
ment the "Daily" is not only making it easy to sell
but easier still to TRY to sell subscriptions
It's the TRYING that counts. It's in the TRY
ING that we do our propaganda chores. It's in
the TRYING that we train ourselves as organizers
for Communism. It's in the TRYING that we CON
vince class-conscious workers that their place is
in the Workers Party.
If you haven't sufficiently overcome your tim.
idity to allow you to walk up to a workingman's
house and ring the bell, how is your courage to be
depended to perform the many feats of daring
required of a rebel in really serious moments.
When you say you can't sell when you are asked
to go from house to house with DAILY WORKER
subs you are admitting defeat. Because in the
first place you not asked to sell. You are asked
to TRY to sell. It's the trying that counts. You
are not a salesman. You are an organizer, a pro-
pagandist. When you walk right up and ring the
bell and start talking about the DAILY WORKER
you are performing a service for Communism

Why "Riuer Work" in China?

By "stroke of the pen" President Coolidge has
given the imperialist business interests of the
United States just IA more warshps. With the same
pen, very likely, he signed letter to the Federal
Council of Churches 'assuring" these anxious fol-
lowers of the lowly Nazarene, that there "no
strike" whatever between America and Japan, and
that all was favorable for a future of peace and
brotherly love.
But we have warships for war; not for peace.
Furthermore by the signing of the naval construc-
ton bill appropriating $11O,OOO,OO0 for eight
scout cruisers and six gunboats, we are getting
some warships-for they are not "peace-ships,"
but warships. incidentally, we are under the bill,
going to ''modernize0 the old warships we have.
All in the name of peace and brotherly love.
But in the official news statement given out at
Washington, we come across a rather amazing
revelation of the to which these nice gun
boats are to be put. 1t says, "The gunboats are
urgently needed to replace antiquated shallow
draft ships for river work in Chinese waters"
Now to the Federal Council Of the Churches of
Christ it will probably appear quite strange and
accidental to speak, if after these gunboats are
built and are, by the magic carpet of the House
of Morgan, wished into the rivers of China, that
our national honor or the elves of missionaries"
or any other fair sounding excuse, gives them the
chance to lombard the inhabitants of China, or
more than likely-the japanese who have taken
control of some parts of China.
But to the revolutionist to the Communist, it
will be no accident. The fact that the American
government openly acknowledges long before the
event, that it is deliberately going about the work
of building gunboats to trespass upon the soyer-
eighty of the Chinese nation is only central fact
Of series connecting up the process of imperial
ist expansion of Wall street.
Not only the necessity of new markets for man
ufactured commodities-the commodity surplus is
reduced to a minimum in the age of monopoly
but the need for a market for surplus capital,
which in turn calls for strict control over the ter
rain of the debtor nation to insure the safety of
the principal and interest-all these call for war
like preparations This is why we have the ap-
preparation for $11O,00O,OOO new warships They
are aimed to insure a return of super-proft from
imperialist business far larger than this modest
sum.
That is why we see President Coolidge, after as
surfing the good Christians that no war is in the
offng, issuing statement that "gunboats are ur-
gently needed for river work in Chinese waters" ("

Kissing the Club

The organ of the German socialdemocracy, the
Vorwaerts, in its Christmas edition complains
bitterly of the refusal of the allies to withdraw
their troops from Cologne after the social-demo
Gratis had carried out their part of the bargain Of
betrayal-getting majority for submission to the
Dawes plan in the last elections.
The Vorwaerts says:
"The German nation is convinced that its disarma-
nent is complete and the government states that
no Sensational discovery has been made during the
last 744 Inspections carried out by the Allies. Is
this true? If Mr.. Herrot's accusation is a hypo-
critical pretext for a refusal to eVaeuate Cologne
then he forgets that such hypocrisy is bound to
weaken the position Of the supporters of the repub-
lie and the supporters of fulfment of the Dawes
plan"
The German workingclass has been disarmed
and the Vorwaerts is pleased The refusal of tht
allied imperialists to remove their troops weakens
"the supporters of the fulfllment of the Dawes
plan" and the VOrwaerts is displeased.
The tremendous support given the Communist
in the industrial ceners in spite of the terrorstit
activities of the social-democratic government
shows that not all the German workingclass has
been convinced that kissing the club of the capital
lists is the way for freedom.

rather retire, but President Coolidge

Since then administration officials

without having reached a decision.
and some OF Mr.. Davis friends have
urged that he be retained. They be-

in Office should the President insist.
