HUNGER And NEED IN
GERMANY is DRIVING
THOUSANDS TO SUICIDE
Ry A. |. coNRAp.


Federated Press staff Correspondent
BERLIN.-ln 1928 there we're In
Prussia 1900 suicides; Of which
1.243 were In Berlin. In the first
81 weeks of 1924 In Berlin geo In
dlviduaIs killed themselves. The Of
fetal statistics give as reasons, mel.
ancholy, incurahle disease, insanity,
remorse, shame, vexatIon, alcohol,
passion, unhappy love affairs.
Suicides occur in every country.
But the enormous number Of sui
cides in Germany the last few years
has been largely due to the fact that
hunger and need have stared des-
perate persons in the face.
Perhaps the greatest number were
members Of the middle class de-
prlved Of their incomes during the
imitation period, and unable to work,
never having been trained or finding
1t impossible to obtain employment.
The papers which comment on the
statistics admit these figures do not
cover all the suicides In Berlin.
Persons have been washed out to
sea; others have disappeared" and
in many cases friends or relatives
have given officials other causes
than suicide.
Even In war men may feel that
they have a chance. But in modern
Industrial and social and capitalist
civilization chances are few and hui
mans are desperate.

SUN-YAT-SENIS
DANGEROUS TO
BRITISH RULERS
Therefore Vicious Cam
paign of Lies Begins
(Rosta News Servlee.)
Especial to the Daily Worker)

CANTON, Nov. 11.-Since DR.. Sun
Yat-sen raised a vigorous protest
against the threats of armed interven-
ton by British naval forces in the
internal affairs of China, the papers
of Hongkong have been carrying on
a vicious campaign against the Canton
government and, particularly, against
the Kuomingtang leader.
China Colony Of England.
The Canton Gazette, in an editorial,
puts the question squarely before the
reader: why does imperialist Eng
land pursue President Sun and treat
him in effect as if he were Gandhi
struggling for a liberated India or a
Zaghlul Pasha fighting for an indepen-
dent Egypt?" And the Gazette an
swers: president Sun holds that
China is no more than semi-colony,
IL not worse, of England and her i'm
perialist fellow-countries. That is
the reality which energies out of the
corpus Of Englands "opium" treaties
anu IuC pAOlOCOAo WHICH, lu1pEIldllSIH
has imposed on China. And so be-
cause China is a semi-colony of the
predatory powers, an 'hgiator" like
Sun Yat-sen must be suppressed, not,
however, by Imprisonment in an In
dian goal or by Punishment to a dead
ly climate, but by a campaign of lies
in the English-written reptile press in
Hongkong, Shanghai, Tientsin, and by
threats of British naval bombardment
on suitable occasions"
Sun Yat-sen Strikes Fear Into England
The Gazette points out that by over
throwing the Manchus in China, Sun
Yat-sen struck fear into the hearts
of imperialist Britain regarding her
most important possession, India,
which might emulate the work Of
Chinese revolution. The Gazette en-
phatically concludes that a successful
republic in China must react disas-
trously on British autocracy in India.
Therefore, Sun Yat-sen, whose aim is
to realize such republic, is danger
to imperialist England.

BORAH SLATED
FOR FOREIGN
RELATIONS POST
Expected to Fight for
Russian Recognition
(Ry The Federated Preas)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Senato1
Borah will become chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee BY
right of seniority upon the passing
of Chairman Lodge. Borah is the
foremost critic of Secretary Hughes
foreign policy as to Russia, Haiti
Nicaragua and China in the ranks OF
the republican party. His coming
to power as head of the committee is
a direct threat to Hughes influence
in the new administration.
Borah has kept quiet on the Rus
sian issue during the ticklish period
Of his own campaign for reelection
at the hands of the stampat republic
ans of Idaho. Now that he has been
returned for another term by a big
majority, he anticipates early re-
sumption of his public agitation of
the issue Of recognition of Russia.
His resolution of last winter, calling
for recognition Of the Soviet state,
will be brought up in the foreign re-
lations committee in December. 1t
will have the backing of Hiram John
son and of Henrick Shipstead.
1t is evident that Borah will not
be able to control his committee.
At best he will be able to speak only
as minority leader of the majority
party. But he will use the fact of
his Craftsmanship to advantage in at
tempting to build UP public opinion
in favor of a sane foreign policy
which win reduce the danger of an
other world war.

SOUTH ILLINOIS
Halls RUSSIAN
REvOLUT ION
Miners Interested in
Workers Party

The seventh victorious year
of the Russian revolution was
celebrated at rousing meetings
in the southern Illinois coal belt
and despite the tension Of the
khan menace and the depression
brought on by the terribly Sc
we're unemployment good meet
ings were addressed by William
If. Kruse at Christopher, DoweII
and Zeigler, Ill.
At Christopher the meeting
was held in the French Workers
Hall on Nov. 7. The revolution
airy movement is badly divided
here, many workers who before
I1917 considered even the social
list party too radical for them
have since developed an anti
political complex Of the deepest
maroon dye, and call themselves
anarchists or syndicalists.
A goodly element however lis organ
lied in the English and Slavic
Branches of the Workers Party and un,
der the new shop nuclei system Of or
ganization they look forward to much
more intense and better co-ordinated
work, under the leadership Of Arley
Staples and Pete Allard.
At Dowell the meeting was held on
Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9, in the Re1
theater, and the size Of the crowd waa
kept down somewhat by an intersec
tional football game between Marion
and Dowell, in a field close by.
'Hoof exercise is a whole lot easier
for our fellow workers than head ex.
ercise," observed the local secretary
Gilbert Rogers.
Meeting Well Attended.
The meeting at Zeigler was post
poned from 2 p. m. to $3.50, and fine
crowd assembled in Liberty Hall. In
order to make the three meetings
auto trips Of over a hundred miles
were necessary. The chairman, Henry
Corbishley, who is president Of the
local Miners Union and secretary OF
the Workers Party, told Of the battles
in the union and elsewhere with the
Khan. 1t had been arranged that in
case no speaker could be sent from
the national office local talent would
do what they could to fttingIy cele.
brate the great revolutionary holiday.
Despite the urging of the speaker,
however, they gave up the whole eve.
ming to the main speech and a long
list Of very interesting questions on
Russia, the revolution, and the tactics
and principles Of the Workers Party.
In all three towns growth Of party
membership and activity is confidently
expected to result from these meet.

Good Collections.
Good collections were taken for the
benefit of the DAILY WORKER, Lenin
buttons were sold, and DAILY WORK.
Err and Workers Monthly also got a
boost in local circulation. Party
meetings were announced and those
who had slumped in their activity
promised to attend and resume their
duties.
All three towns were enthused al

Russian film, "The Beauty and the

Communist Ballots Spoiled
AT Dowell, the ballots seemed

at the top of the Workers Party ticket
was marked with a cross, in some
mysterious manner the ballots so
