PARTY Wins Big
VICTORY IN The
empire STATE
BY JOSEPH MANLEY

WILL ~ tNtfNtNEE
Campaign Manager, Workers Party.
The Workers Party is on the
ballot in New York state. Chas.
Krumbein, district organizer,
has filed at Albany the petitions
containing signatures far in ex-
cess of the required twenty
thousand. The Party organiza-
zion in New York state is to be
congratulated for this real vic
tory in the first Communist
election struggle.
That it is a real struggle
can no longer be doubted in
view of the attempt to keep the
Foster and Gitlow electors off
the ballot in both Michigan and
Wisconsin.
Home Of Wall Street.
In view of the restrictions, obstacles
and last-minute discriminatory rulings
against our party, the New York dis
trict victory is therefore, all the great
er. The red flag of international
Communism is raised in the election
campaign and will appeal to the mill
tant workers in the giant industries
Of this most thickly populated and
capitalistic developed state.
In New York, perhaps as in no 9TH
er section, poverty and riches are de-
veloped to the extreme. For instance,
New York City's East side contrasts
with Park Avenue, probably more than
anywhere else. New York is the home

called Wall.

ton. Tammany controlled unionism

Russia and China have con-
cluded an agreement whereby
they will work Jointly for rid
ding the entire territory Of the
Chinese people from foreign
imperialist interests.
For some time the Soviet Re-
public has been making It In
creasingly uncomfortable for
the foreign interests in China.
This agreement comes as a
climax of the Soviet campaign
to help the Chinese redeem
their country.
SovIets to Run Railroad.
The agreement DEGREES the turning
over Of the Chinese Eastern Railway
to Soviet administration. This decis.
ion puts the quietus on the plans of
the imperialist powers to take over
the principal Chinese roads on the
.pretense of preventing the transporta.
ton Of troops and thus pacifying the
country. This suggestion originated
in the camp of the British interests
which proposed that the United States
should take the lead in such interven-
ton.

lrritates Americans.
This manifestation of genuine
friendship to the Soviet government in
the area OF China under the control of
Picking is proving especially irritating
to the American and other imperialist
groups. The latter had been looking
forward to the Picking government re-
voking its recognition OF Soviet Rus
STA, because of her arrangement with
General Chang regarding the disposal
of the Manchurian Railway.
Soviet Ambassador Karakhan views
the friendly trend in Russian Chinese
relations as dealing "a crushing blow
to imperialist states, destroying their
last chance to grab the Eastern rail-
way"
For Russo-chinese Friendship.
The strengthening bonds OF Russo
Chinese friendship are proving a uni
flying force in China and are undoing
the chaotic effects of years Of foreign
imperialist Intervention. It is this
growing unity of the Chinese people
in close alliance with the Soviet Re-
public that the American and Europe.
an imperialist powers fear most. They
see in this move the greatest dangers
to their program Of Chinese dismem-
berment. America is especially hard
hit because she counted on her pup
pet, Wei Pu Flu to fight Soviet Russia.
