Eighth Anniversary
WHILE countless celebrations of
w the eighth anniversary of the So
Wet Republic will be held in China,
the greatest outpouring will doubtless
be witnessed in Canton, the capital
of the Southern republic and the
former home of DR.. Sun Vat Sen.
Since the more radical elements in
the Kuomintang got control last
spring, the tendency has been increas-
ingly to the left with the result that
Chinese Communists are in virtual
command Of the city today
A correspondent Of the North China
Daily News, Shanghai, writing in the
Kolniscbe Zeitung. of Cologne, Ger
many, characterizes the Communist
domination of Canton as IAN expert
ment which the whole Of Asia Is
watching It's international aspect,
he goes on to explain, SIS crystallized
in an embittered struggle between
England and Russia, the outcome of
which cannot be foreseen." He boasts
however, that Everything is being
done by the British with intellectual
and material means to starve out Boil
shevik ideas in Canton"
THE commemoration of the Soviet
4 anniversary in Canton will not be
merely by enthusiastic speeches of
eloquent orators at mass meetings.
An army OF Chinese mercenaries,
with the financial and moral backing
OF Great Britain in particular and of
the other powers as well-including
we may be sure, this country-is
marching on the city. Perhaps the
booming Of cannon and the sharp
staccato Of rife fire, with the groans
Of the wounded will mark the day.
Whatever happens our heroic COM
rades OF the Red Corps Of China can
be counted on to carry the working
class banners to eventual victory.
The grasping ambitions Of the CAPT
talist nations cannot permanently be
reconciled, any more than a crowd Of
thieves can live in security.

~ Ats. - " EfNg - 49,
hight years after the Russian rev.
~ olution man comes to America.
Standing before gathering of four
hundred delegates of organized labor
he spoke a few simple thruths about
the workers and peasants govern
ment. This was not all he said. He
said much more and said it well. But
1t was what he said about the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics that
frightened the greater part of the
400. It frightened them so that they
sat perfectly still and were not re-
lieved until their spokesman, Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation Of Labor, got up and did
what the 400 wanted him to do and
which he knew they wanted him to
do.
Green made a speech against the
Soviet Union. 1t was a rabid, vicious
speech. Secretary Kellogg, Sir Joyn-
son-Hicks or Baron Wrangel could
have done no better. The 400 were
relieved. They could breath more
easily. The icy sweat into which
the speech Of this man from Europe
had plunged them gave way to the
hot vapors of their leader outdoing
Abramowitch at his best.
THO Arthur A. Purcell, fraternal del
Il egate OF the British Trade Union
Congress, 1t must have been at once
a ludicrous and sad spectacle. Per-
haps 1t wasn't. Perhaps he had heard
his own British Mr.. Green, the Hon.
J. II. Thomas M. p, make a similar
speech much more cleverly. But he
must certainly have been sad to note
that In that sea of faces there was
no one to challenge the chauvinism,
the social patriotism, the utter de-
mobilization OF this labor convention
OF which Green's speech was the
epitome.
Purcell is not a Communist. He is
a British labor leader Of many years
standing and much prominence. He
has been chairman OF the British
Trades Union Congress. He is now
vicechairman. He is President Of
the Furniture Workers Union of
Great Britain. He Is a labor mem
Der Of parliament. AS the represent
alive Of the British unions to the In
ternational Federation of Trade I'm
ions, the Amsterdam International, he
was made president of that body.
All this stands him in good stead and
these honors alone would have given
him the kind OF welcome in American

from Haskell:
To-day the Russians are suffi-
GENTLY If not fashlonably clothed.

cities hum with traffic"
Then this contrast
"The working man is no longer
hungry or oppressed. His is the

Contrast this with the popular
conception Of the Old old Russia
the Russia Of the tabled opulence
and maenificence of the upper class,
Of religious oppression and cruel
class distinctions, the Russia Of the
knout and the cruel landlord
"All that, Of course, has faded in
to the past. The once proud mobiles
of Russia are scattered over the
world, some serving as buffers and
walters.

less to them than the dust beneath

believes in the rule of the landlord,
the banker and the great exploiter
in this country, but has Joined the
military arm of the profteers' social
system in order to protect the plum
Ter Of these business bandits. He
does not yet realize that the workers
and peasants of the Soviet Union are
striving to abolish all classes; so he
still talks of classes. Thus he admits
that children are having their first
real chance in Russia under Soviet
rule when he says:
"The working mans children, who
never had chance in the old days,
are now also in the preferred class.
The government owns everything,
and everything is conducted with
special reference to the working
man."
And again:
~ believe that the men who are
running Russia are working earnest
Iy for the common good of their
country, without thot of graft"
This skaters another whole bar
rage of kept press propaganda, as
does the following:
"The government fosters no relig-

own god in his own way. There
are no longer any restrictions on
the Jews. Many of them are mem
bers Of the government"
Once more:

the information that will help them or

of prejudice built up by the lies Of
well-nigh all-powerful profit press.
Soviet representatives purchase trac-
tors and ploughs from the farm imple-
ment industry in the north; cotton in
the south; cattle, sheep and hogs of
special breed in the west; spending
tens of millions of dollars. Soviet
Russia is building. But the workers
and peasants want to build faster.
They want to open up the lanes of
commerce that will unleash the flow
of goods that they need, that will put
their products on the markets of the

ESCAPED CONVICT
FOUND DEAD IN SEA
Body of Mooney Is Washed
Ashore-Gangsters Blamed
for Shooting.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The body
of Joseph Mooney, escaped Sing Sing
convict, was borne in on the surf at
Rockaway Beach yesterday not far
from the cottage where he is said to
have been slain by three gangsters.
Without realizing what was hap
pening, batherS watched in the early
hours as the three men carried the
body from the cottage to the water.
TO one woman who questioned them
they replied that they were taking an
intoxicated comrade to the water to
sober him up.
A police dog later found the body.
Police said that blood was still freshly
Congealed in two Sunshot wounds in
MONEYS head. Following a trail of
blood, they came to a cottage, where
there arrested seven alleged Manhat-
tan ganGSters, who said that Mooney
had been killed after an argument
with the three men who disposed of
his body III the ocean. The seven
who were arrested said that about
midnight three men came to the bun
galoW, demanded to see Mooney and,
after an argument. shot him. They
then demanded bathing suits and, put
ting them on, carried Mooney out.
Mooney was arrested eight times
and served terms in k,lmira and Sing
Sing for burglary and robbery. ON
July l, 1924. while serving a four-year
term in Sing Sing for robbery, he
escaped and has since been at large.

The complaint charged the asso

ing jobberS against loss on unSold
goods resulting from a decline in the
manufacturers selling price. Its
dismissal was announced May 10 on
the grounds that the allegations had
not been proved. The dissenting
opinion held that the issue in the
case was whether the commission
must wait until trade had already
been restrained by an actual boycott
before 1t can act or whether it should
forbid a practice the intent and ten
dency of which is to create a boycott
and thus restrain trade.

To Get War Debt

An ambitious collecting agency
has offered its services to the Gov

a charge of 10 per cent.
In a letter to the American Debt
Commission the agency said: "In
collecting some of the claims which
you have against the small coun-
tries a certain amount of applied
psychology is necessary to effect
successful collections.
I'VE believe we have the
psychology and the system that

latest of whom are descendants of
Anneke Jams, are warned by the Rev.

asserts that the title of Trinity
Church, under Queen Anne's grant
in 1905. has been held conclusive
in every court
"a widespread impression of un-
limited financial resources in Trinity

Instead, DIR. StetSon explains, the
