A STRONG differentiation is percept-
4 a ible between the movements of
the small and the middle peasantry
The so-called German Peasant Asso-
Citations" (clericaD as well as the
"Bavarian Peasants Union" the free
{ peasantry Especially in Rhenish
Hesse) and the German Peasants
Union" have made a visible move to-
wards the right. At the same time
the whole of the small peasantry, un-
der the pressure of economic condi-
tons, is moving obviously, tho with
oscillations, towards the left.
The clerical peasant associations
have never distinguished themselves
essentially either in their program or
in their tactics from the 'landbund. .
As early as in the autumn and before
the 'reichstag" election in December,
leaders of the clerical peasant move
ment, above all of the "Rhenish Peas
ant Association" pronounced them
selves politically in favor of an out
spoken government of the right, of a
bourgeois block and break with the
S. P. of Germany. Their spokesman
is Freiherr v. Loe. The crisis in the
Prussian parliament led to an inten-
sification of this tendency towards the
right The Rhenish and Westphalian
Peasant Associations have taken up
an oppostitional attitude to Marx and
in favor of the obstructing deputies of
the center, Lonartz v. Papen and Roe
nigh. The Crefeld Niederrheinsche
Bauernzeitung wrote on Feb. %:
Agriculture welcomes the defeat of
the Prussian Weimar coalition. 1t is
extremely grateful to the four deputies
of the center who contributed to this
defeat by their absence. It will de-
fend these deputies against any ar
bitrary action of their party"

AS early as in October, the German

democratic camp to the camp of the

associations of small peasants, by ar
ranging consultation hours, by repre-
senting it's members before the au-
thorities and in court.
1t is one of the important tasks Of
the c. p of Germany to win the sup
port and interest of the Industrial pro-
letariat and the organizations Of the
working class for the radical small
peasants movement. Without the
help of the industrial proletariat, the
radical small peasants associations
will never be able to hold their own
against the economic and political de-
velopment in Germany, accelerated
by the Dawes plan, is leading to the
inevitable ruin of the Stockholders
and to intensified class differentiation
in rural districts. The ruling classes
cannot arrest this process either by
fair means or foul. They may curb
the revolutionizing of the mass OF
small peasants, but they cannot re-
press it altogether. The Communist
Party on the other hand, as leader
of the revolutionary proletariat, can,
by tenacious work and clever Bolshe-
visit tactics, considerably accelerate
the detachment of the small peasants
from their counter-revolutionary lead
ership, and the creation OF an alliance
between workers and peasants, which
will moreover be organized.
THE awakening of the small peas
= ants and their alliance with the
revolutionary proletariat implies a
serious threat to the bouregoisie just
in those spheres of power which have
up to now been undisputedly theirs.
The agricultural districts have up to
the present been the preserves of
counterrevolution The rehabilitation
of the small peasants and tenant
farmers will facilitate the revolution

BRITISH policy in Asia centers
- around India. Every move of Great
Britain on the Asiatic continent, di-
plomatic and military, has as its basic
motive, the Strengthening of the Bri-
fish Indian frontiers. This in no way
is in contradiction to attempts to ex-
tend those frontiers as far to the north
and east as the Yangtsze river-the
great artery Of China.
Great Britain encouraged Japan to
seize German leaseholds in Shangtung
and thereby increase Japanese domin-
alton in northeastern China. She de-
manded assistance from her Japanese
ally in the war on Germany in China
with the full knowledge that China
would suffer more than Germany.
GREAT BRITAIN had game of her
- own to play
The twenty-one points, containing
Japanese demands on China which if
agreed to destroyed Chinese sover-
eighty, made in 1915, have been widely
discussed and were the cause of world
wide protest.
But the twelve demands relating to
Tibet, made on China by Great Britain
in March 1917, have received little
publicity and, as a matter of fact, first
came to public attention, significantly
enough, by publication in the Japan
ese press.
Tibet was needed to further bull
wark British control in India and
