Comrade Trumbull says that tho
professional musician, he is by no
means an artist. He has been able to
struggle up to the position of first
clarinet in the 21st Infantry band but
that organization can hardly be call
ed an example of musical perfection
However, he is perfectly willing and
would be very glad to try to play in
the Y. w. L. orchestra when he comes
to N. Y, which of course, we both
hope will be soon.
Our task of building and enlarging
the party is indeed hard, slow and

benefit of small group Of exploiters? 2
These are the questions which the
peasants of the Orient and the Co
lonies put to themselves here. In the
Peasant Council however, they deter
mined that an end must be put to
such an order of things!
But is it easy to bring this about?
Is it easy, for istance, to drive the
foreign exploiters out, the English
from Egypt and India, the French
from Morocco and Algeria, the Jap
anese from corea, the Dutch from tho

States with equal rights? Is it easy
for the Chinese peasants to take
back the land wrested from him by
the foreigners? Is it easy for the Per-
sian and Turkish peasants to with
draw the concessions obtained from
them by force or by the bribery of
officials? Is it easy for the Oriental
peasants to take the land which be-
longs to them away from their feudal
masters? Or is it easy for the peas
ants to free himself from the taxes,
from forced labor, from forced militia
ny service, from forced participation
in the execution of his brothers peas

Brothers, Comrades!-You all know
that that is a difficult matter. But
the peasants of the East and of the

the middle class amongst them. In fact
there are even we'll TODD peasants
amongst them for whom the foreign
yoke has become unbearable and
who have stretched out their hands to
their poorer brothers.
They are all here, for they are sons
of the soil.
They have all been united by the
recognition of the fact that in the
colonies and in the East, from Turkey
to Japan, from kashgar to Java, from
Algeria to the Cape Of Good Hope, the
peasants form 30 per cent to 80 per
per cent Of the population.
They have grasped the fact that
the whole burden of the taxes falls
upon them, the peasants, that tho
whole state revenue is made up at
the cost Of their labor, that the arm
les are formed from the peasentry
and then flung at each other for mu-
tgal destruction in the interests OF
the large landowners and capitalists,
and that the large landowners have
seized all the best land for themselves.
And while the peasants work with
sweat and blood for the benefit Of
the foreign exploiters, the over-fed
parasites, the officials and Landowners,
the conditions Of the peasants them
selves differ in no way from those OF
animals.
In the best case the peasants re-
ceives enough food to prevent him
from dying of starvation, In the worst
case he is condemned to die Of star
walton. But he must give here a third,
there half, in other places two
thirds of his labor to the landowner.
And every time he seeks to better his
lot, he is threatened with monstrous
judgements.
Thousands Of peasants are shot By
lforeign soldiers. or by their own BROTH
ers who are thrust, into the imper'
ialist armies by force.

of the whole go hand in hand with the
Soviet Republic. The workers in the
countries the governments of which
Cypress you will rise together with
you.
Look to the Russian comrades who
have given an example of how the
peasants must free themselves from
the large landowners and oppressors.
Look to the example of the Trans
caucasian Republics and to that of
the Mohammedans Of Turkestan, look
at the first Workers and Peasants
Republic, see how the freedom Of all
nations is assured in great union Of
peoples.
Victory is only possible If there is
unity amongst the workers, when the
peasants in all countries and in whole
world rise against their exploiters
and enslavers.
And for this purpose not only a firm
unity between the peasants Of one
land is necessary, but an alliance of
the workers and peasants Of all eoun-
tries.
Who, however, is to devote himself
to this? The international Peasant
Council. s.nd
The International Peasant Council

Brothers, Comrades! ~ In October
1928 there assembled in Moscow for
the first time in world history the
representatives of the peasants Of 20
nationalities from all countries Of the
world and decided to form an Inter
national Peasant Council.
Its aim is to build centre for the
defense Of the interests Of the peas
antry, to close the ranks Of the peas
antry for the struggle for freedom
from the century-long slavery to the
landowners, to establish a close con-
nection between the peasants Of the
whole world, to unite the peasants
who are fighting for their national
and economic freedom with their
brothers, the workers, and to deter
mine the further methods of the
struggle.
Not only the peasants Of the West
answered the appeal of the Interna
tional Peasant Council, but also the
peasants of the East. And to-day
after one and half years, delegates
have come to the conference of the
International Peasant Council from
Turkey, Persia, Egypt, India, China
corea and Japan. Representatives
have also come from the American
Negroes.
The peasants of almost every coun
try in the world were represented al
this Congress. In these countries
there are various religious beliefs
And these peasants belong to the mos

fore Federal Judge William F.
Rawlins. The army lawyer is
fighting the petition of Fred
Patterson, attorney for Crouch,
which seeks to free the soldier
from the Fort Shafter guard house on
grounds that his court martial was
unfairly and improperly conducted"
Books Are confiscated.
Colonel Brown is quoted as saying:
Il can conceive of nothing more in
furious to army discipline than such
propaganda. This is revolutionary
propaganda from within, where sol
diers are supposed to protect the
country against violence, rather than
foster it; propaganda of the most dan.
gerous sort.
I'm the case of Walter M Trum-
bull, an associate of Crouch sentenced
to serve one year in jail, Patterson
withdrew the petition for his release
stating that the action was because
of reasons he did not desire to make
public at this date.
Meantime the case of Paul Crouch
goes on and decision on the case is
expected Monday. If the case is de-
cided on favorably, the Trumbull case
will again be taken up, but If an un-
favorable decision is made the Trum-
bull case will be taken up in San
Francisco courts"
The statements of Colonel Brown
show how much Communist propagan,

shows the Importance of work with.

in Fort Shafter are favorable to our
cause.
We hope that the publication of our
case has helped in establishing to a
far greater extent the solidarity of
the workers. Is it too much, to hope
that we have caused some per cent OF
doubters to join the ranks? 1t is in
deed fortunate that our case has re-
ceived the attention of the capitalist
press to the degree that it has. Thru
this medium we have reached PEG

Unfortunately, concerning the per-

Christians Tell China to Go to He'll.
Both the Chinese government and
the Students Union had requested the
christian missions to take stand in
favor Of recognition of the sovereign
ity of the Chinese government by reg
istering their schools with the Chin
csc government educational depart
ment, and to make the study of
christian doctrines a voluntary and
not compulsory subject in such
schools.
The convention Of christians re-
fused both requests and declared they
would stand upon the privileges of
independence from Chinese supervis-
ion granted them by the unequal
treaties with the christian imperialist
powers. This is seen as a scornful
reply also to the appeal of General

WRITES OF HIS TRIP

Perhaps the readers of the Mil
ford Chronicle will be interested in
some of my experience in New York
State. In order to save time I left
Philadelphia on a midnight sleeper
and arrived at Ithaca, New York at
8 o'clock the following morning, so
l didn't see anything of the country
enroute. l found Cornell University
located about one mile north of Cav
uga Lake, overlooking the town of
Ithaca. The location is ideal and the
scenery most wonderful. can say
OF this country, that the rain falls
faster after it hits the ground, as
the distance here between places is
about one half up and one half
down.
My work at the University is large
ly in the Farm Management Depart
ment, including Cooperative Mark
citing and Agricultural Prices. We
have had the pleasure of hearing
several speakers of national reputa-
tion including o. H. Laren, head Of
the Bureau of Agriculture Econom-
49, OOPOAhaSCAg OCAu4cbAhS L. Gs
Mouse, of the American Institute of
Economics, Washington, D. c.;
George P. Conner, Chief Investigator
U. S. Tariff Commission, Washing
ton, D. c., and John D. Black, of
Minnesota, speak on subjects of vi
tai interest in agriculture at this
time. During the course we will hear
several other outstanding agricul-
tural speakers.
I make a trip yesterday on farm |
management tour in the poorest sec
tiOn of TOmpkin and Tioga counties,
just south of Ithaca. This is one of |
the oldest farming sections in New
York and from 1870 to 1900 thickly
settled. Now, there is only one farm
out of every six cultivated and this
section is considered sub-marginal
land Many farms in this section can
be bought for SIS per acre with Or
dinary buildings. The chief source
Of income on these farms is from
milk and hay. Most of the day was
spent walking over mountains, as it
was impossible to take cars over the
roads leading to these abandoned
farms. The level fields of Sussex will
look good to me when I return Au-
gust 18th.
