some important news to tell in my

age anybody, because there are so
many progressive workers that unless
the boss closes up the whole factory
he cannot stop them.
On the same day that two were
fred, the rest Of the workers who
have been three years in service, were
promised a weeks vacation with pay.
How gracious our boss begins to be,
when he thinks the workers are
watching him and are organizing,
Never before has any vacation even
been thought about. a
Most Of the workers in the shop are
with the progressives in the fight for
better conditions, which proves that
the so-called loyal ones have lost
their grip on the employees.
But the little shrimp who works
on pulleys is becoming the real
champion OF all the suckers" Yet
he may not be a champion of some
fist fights he may run into sometime
in the near future.

guy-a sort of three in one" man,

KuOmintGng Paper Points Out Issues

lowed to go on they threatened to de-
stroy the party. The good principles
would be swallowed by the evil prac-
tees of the militarists. This, Of
course, would be highly welcome to
the imperialists, for the triumph OF
DR.. Suns principles means the ami
hilation Of unequal treaties; while the
triumph Of the militarists means the
perpetuation Of the semicolonial posi-
ton OF China. And 80 the militarists
have to be destroyed that the princi.
pies might triumph. But how was this
to be done? Admonitions and appeals
to reason failed. The hearts Of the
militarists we're hardened by plumber,
by gambling and prostitution reve-
nues, their human feelings dulled by
idleness and opium. There was moth
ing left but to appeal to the people
to free themselves from the tyranny
Of the soldiery, to help the govern
ment to carry out the necessary re-
forms, -reforms that would bring
peace and prosperity to the province.
This appeal was made by DR.. Sun
to the people of Kwangtung. Did the
people respond7 Some did and some
remained deaf to the appeal. The
peasants, the workers, the students,
the atriotically-minded citizens re-
sponded nobly to the appeal. But a

themselves to be secure from the SOL

to find out to their own ultimate peril
that the arming Of other hoodlums to

the general calamity. The thing to
have done was not to have listened to
the selfish counsel of the Chan Linn.

the people and the government, but
to unite with the government for the
eventual expulsion Of tyrannical SOL

have since come to realize that saliva

mintang, and today they stand SOL
idly behind the government in its diff

safe for the people. The merchants
are beginning to understand the game
of the hirelings of Imperialism who
use every Tom, Dick and Harry to
prove that the Kuomintang is Com

FoRD--LAReEsT EMPLOYER

The Ford organization is now EN-.
ploying more than 161 900 persons in
it's various activities throughout the
United States, according to the latest
employment figures. This is record
for the industry.
The largest increase has come, as
might be expected, in the Detroit area
where the Ford Motor Company's big
manufacturing plants are. coated.
Here close to 14,5OO have been added
to the employment list since March /.
The big majority of workers are en-
ployed, of course, at the Highland
Park and River Rouge plants. The
River Rouge now has $4,000 on its
payroll-a record for that plant. High
land Park still leads all plants with
$4,000 employees, though this number
is considerably lower than the peak
employment record of 1928 which was
before the transfer of several thous-
and men to River Rouge when the
motor assembly and crankshaft depart
ments were moved there.
Along with the steady increase in
employment in Detroit, due to greater
production demands, they have been
corresponding increases at domestic
assembly plants until the employment
rolls for these now show close to A.
900 employees.

inquiry presupposes doubt, the issue
embraces the question of agnosticism
in that the theory of evolution neces,

Judge John Randolph Neal, of Knox

fore unconstitutional, whether it is
kingly or ecclesiastical authority or
legislative power that would attempt
to limit the human mind in its enquiry
after truth"
On the other side of the fenca
stands the statement of William Jen-
nings Bryan, arch foe of the evolution
airy theory "This" says Mr.. Bryan is
one of the greatest questions ever
raieed-the question of the right of
the people who created and support
the schools, to control them. If not
they, then who? The Fundamentalists
are trying to establish the doctrine
that the taxpayer has a right to say
what shall be taught-the taxpayers
and not the scientists-Can handful
of scientists rob, your children of re
ligion and turn them out atheists? ?"
Rebuttal then advances this argu-
ment: Even though the theory of evol
ution be true and be finally accepted
by the people as against the Story of
the Genesis those who might accept
the truth could not be considered ath-
eists They point, too, to the wide d.
vergence between atheism and agnos.
ticism.
Another viewpoint: There does not
appear to be any particular quarrel
with Mr.. Bryan's basic theory that
the taxpayers have a right to set up
schools, and to govern the school cur
riculum 1t is only when this is coup
led with legislation making education
compulsory that the right of the in
di1idual to seek truth becomes abridg

involve study only in public schools.

schools are still left as the unhamper

any other theory of life or conduct

this is not practicable answer in
that it would create a monetary stan
dard of education. Were evolution
demonstrated or accepted as the true
principle of life, then such knowledge
would be barred to the poor: Indeed
they would be compelled to learn
only the story of Genesis, correct or
incorrect.
The crux of the argument appears
no hang on the natrrai right Of the
Human species to seek the truth. to
DC 'nfonmed OF The thought of the
world and be given the liberty then
to exercise their own Judgment in the

This applies to economics, to religion

man knowledge, including the theory
of evolution.
