feeling of national unity, of national
integrity and wratful protest against

sentfulness towards everything re-
stricting Chinese sovereignty and
handicapping the emancipation and

entire nation: Down with the spe-

with the Concessions" down with the
control by foreigners of the Chinese
customs and railways, down with the
extra-territoriality down with the

How Moscow Celebrated the Eighth Anniversary

Rogoff of the Moscow Soviet, in
reduces Kamenev as the first and
chief speaker. He is followed by an
old bearded peasant who reads off a
little speech he has written down.
Then young peasant woman, shawl
over her head, rough shoes on her
feet, she speaks with forces and de-
cision, her clear voice penetrates the
amphitheatre and four times applause
interrupts her short discourse.
Leninsrad Greets Moscow
Then follows real innovation. A
consultation of watches, then silence
is requested, and soon the great horns
bring forth words of greeting from a
simultaneous celebration in Lenin-
grad. An awed silence spreads over
the crowd. The speaker finishes, roars
of applause echo from the Leningrad
workers through the Moscow theatre,
then 1.-THE International" played in
Leningrad, and the Moscow audience
jumps to its feet in an enthusiastic
demonstration thate lasts many min
utes uort
Again silence is requested, again the
watches are consulted, and now Com
rade Uglanov, secretary of the Mos
cow committee and once holder Of
that position in Leningrad, steps to
the micraphone to return the greeting.
He speaks, and theeMoscow applause
and music speeds across the ether to
delight the Leningrad comrades at
their meeting.
Ovation To Chinese General
A factory worker follows with a
short speech, then the Chinese gener-
al, who receives a tremendous ovation.
He speaks in Chinese and very few
sentences he stops to permit transla-
tion into Russian by a handsome young
Chinaman with large red ribbon on
his coat. A military leader in the
Canton army and member of the po-
litical committee of the Kuomin-
tang, his speech ends with, Long
Live Leninism." Just what the crowd
wants; they are on their feet with
Long Live the Chinese Soviet Re-
public"
Then a German Delegate
A German youth delegate follows
with the greetings of his comrades.

continues. Every theatre and picture
house is wide open but no tickets are
for sale at any price, the October
committee" has distributed them
through the unions and other workers
organization. The day started in a
miserable drizzling rain, but still the
thousands poured through the streets;
it changed to dazzling sunchine a few
hours later, and night brought with it
a chilling cold, but the spirits of the
crowd were all impervious to caprices
of weather as to those of their white
guard enemies skulking in foreign
slums waiting for the return of the
dead and buried car.
At all times the tremendous i'm
provement in the appearance of Russ !
and of its people impresses the travt
Ter with sense of the solidity all
progress prevailing here. But on this
great folk holiday the whole soul of
the Russian masses seems to pour IT.

new social order. To witness a No
yember celebration in Soviet Russia
would take the heart out of the last
czarist well-wisher. If grand duke
were to return to Moscow today, the
only place in which he would feel at
home would be the museum.

DUBLIcATIoNs just arriving from
4 Japan give additional and more
complete information regarding the
new proletarian party, the founding
of which was first planned last sum
mer. Negotiations between the repre-
sentatives of 30 workers organiza-
tions, mostly labor unions, have been
going on for months. December first
was decided upon as the date on which
the party was to be formally launched.
According to the stories carried in
the Japanese bourgeois press, the ten
tative party platform, agreed upon in
the preliminary negotiations, con
tains 40 planks. They constitute a
program of class struggle, and while
not definitely revolutionary, will make
the new party an effectively revolu-
tionary party if it struggles for all the
demands without compromise.
The proposed platform of the pro-
letarian party of Japan is as follows:
l. Unconditional acknowledgements Of
all people, irrespective of sex, who
are over IS years of age, and their
eligibility for election.
2. Abolition of the Genro, the House
of Peers, the privy council, the army
general staff and the navy general
staff
8. Abrogation of the peace preserva-
ton law Dangerous thots law'D, the
police regulations and all other laws
and regulations designed to suppress
proletarian movements.
4. Abolition of laws and regulations
restricting the freedom of the press,
publications, meetings, and organizing
societies and demonstrations
5. Adoption of the one-year military
service system, with payments of the
standard of cost of living by public
bodies during their service in the
army.

of fact strong in China. However,
within the womb of old China a new

old China, have led to the readjust-

LABOR I'M THE FAR EAST

Shameen strike in the summer, of 1924,
represent perhaps the finest pages in
the recent history of the nationalist
movement--and these pages have
been written by the young Chinese
proletariat.
But splendid and significant as
these activities have been inietheir
time, they were only prelude to the
events of this summer, when the role
of the working class as the leader of
the national emancipation movement
was so strikingly revealed This is
recognized by all, both the petty and
middle bourgeoisie, and even in GER
tain sense by the Picking govern
ment itself. Everyone became aware
that the workers strike movement
was the backbone of the nationalist
movement. This explains the support
that the Shanghai and Hongkong
strikes received turnout the country
among every section Of the popula-
ton. This explains also the singular
fact that the Tuan Tsi-Jui government
contributed $4,000 to the Shanghai
strikers, and 100000 dollars-by way
of Canton-to the Hongkong strik-
ers. tts
This role Of the Chinese proletariat,
considering its small numbers--there
are hardly two million industrial work
ers in China, country with 100000
af.a
100000 people--and its weak political
and trade union organization may
seem surprising and strange. pet94s
