dent of the Canton government of
China and leader of the radical politi-
cal elements in that country, is looked
upon in Washington as blow to Chi
nese unity and an advantage to west.
ern imperial schemes in the Far
East.
Sun, who led the 1911 revolution
which overthrow the Manchu dynasty,
was the first president of the repub-
lie. He was well known in San Fran,
cisco before the revolution, and has
had the constant support Of a major
ity Of the Chinese residing in the Unit
ed States since that time. His infiu.
ence was always thrown in favor Of
the elimination Of western financial
and commercial control, as well as po-
litical overlordship, in China. He
went to Picking after the recent col.
lapse of WI Pei Fu's government
there, to assist in establishing coali.
ton or reconciliation government
which should stand firmly against out
side dictation of Chinese affairs.
Arrival of the new Japanese ambas-
sador, Matsudaira, in Washington Just

Suns role in the drama. He was the
chief spokesman Of the protest OF
China against foreign aggressions.
The influence of Soviet Russia Is

that the Communists with their slo-
gan, "All power to the workers." have
the only solution for the problem OF
foreign domination over the masses

Plus II RAISES
FUNDS TOF|GHT
SOVIET RUSSIA
Pope Offers COMMITTED
Term in PurgGtOry

That Pope Plus xI Is granting
Especial InduIgenees" to American
catholics who actively fight against
Soviet Russia, Is admitted by the
catholic union, an organization which
states as it's aim "The reunion with
the holy church of the separated
brethren of the Near East" and which
is raising funds among catholics in
this country to spread propaganda
against Soviet Russia.
please contribute generously"
says Rev. DR.. Augustine Count Ca
len, o. 8. B. after describing the
horrors" of Soviet Russia. "Remem-
Der, too, that as a donor you become
a member of the catholic union, and
will receive a membership certificate
which will entitle you to the special
indulgences granted by His Holiness
Pope Plus XXI, to all our members"
Grants "Indulssnces."
Apparently, according to the S. o.
BIS letter, this certificate is to be
presented at the gates of purgatory. If
only ten dollars has been contributed
to the fight on Soviet Russia, ten
days are clipped of the catholics
sentence to purgatory. If 100000 has
been given to fight the workers and
peasants of Soviet Russia, however,
the sentence is commuted 200 days,
by order Of the pope" The devil
is duty bound, according to catholic
rules, to honor the pope's anti-Soviet
certificate.
1.-THE Catholic News has this to say
about conditions in Russia" says the
S. o. B. in his letter sent to nearly
every catholic in the country, "and
about the work of the catholic IN
ion. "The present Russian government
is making every effort to abolish
christianity; they have even estab-
lished at Moscow a so-called seminary
to train anti-religious teachers. In
theory the law promises freedom of
workshop, but in practice there is
real persecution of christians. The
catholic union is intended to be
powerful means of combating the evil
influences thus set in notion"
Priests SoIft Llvers.
Now comes the dirty work. The
priests are soft livers. They need
plenty of money for their fine robes
and rich food. But they are in an
unfortunate position in Soviet Rus
STA. The priests, who worked hand
in glove with the car in sucking
the blood from the Russian peasants
and workers, have lost their jobs.
No longer is there a master class to
which they can sell themselves. No
longer can they dope the people with
cant about the next world while they
allow the imperialists to rob them in
this world. The priests therefore need
money in Soviet Russia.
America concludes an editorial en-
titled TO Spread the Faith in Soviet
Russia" says the pope's official s.
o. B. in America, "as follows: Every
thing depends upon the means that
can now be raised for this truly apos-
tolic undertaking. The sum of $250.00
contributed for five successive years,
would educate a priest in whose works
and prayers the donor would share.
But every assistance given would ad-
vance the good cause"
The s. o. B. seems 70 infer that
the larger the donation, the more pray
ers will be, waited on high for the
sinful donor.

SAVED MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, March 1s. Score.
tary Mellon and Senator Couzens of
Michigan, are multi-millionaires who
have fallen out, and now they are fur
nishing to the people Of the United
States an array of reasons why big
private profits can be had from the
political government business.
Couzens began the demonstration
by attacking the wholesale exemption
of the properties of big industrial cor
Notwithstanding those Of Mellon
himself - from federal income taxes
under the Mellon regime in the treas.
ury. This attack led President Cool
idge, last spring, to denounce congress
for interfering with the business OF
his end of the government. Couzens
backed down, when he dropped the
employment of Francis ]. Heney as
counsel for his committee which the
senate had charged with inquiring in
to treasury affairs. Also Couzens
agreed that the committee should op-
crate in secret.
Mellon Cheats Government
But when Couzens and his associ.
ates and his lawyer and engineers had
found $685., 100000 allowed by the
treasury as amortization" claims of
big companies, which they believed
should have been paid into the treas.
ury in taxes during and since the war,
and that Mellon proposed to do moth
ing toward recovery of this money,
the Michigan senator presented the
facts in a report to the senate.
They became public property. Mel
Ions particular chums in Pittsburgh
and New York and Boston-in steel
and copper and other metals and in
oil-had saved about $50, 100000 of
this sum. Control of the government
was handy and profitable thing for
their business interests.
Ford Dickered with Cal.
Mellon retorted at once by demand
ing that Couzens pay $1O,000,000 or
more, on the profits involved in Henry
Ford's purchase of the stock held by
Couzens in the Ford Motor Co. In 1919.
Around the political trenches Of the
treasury the rumor went that Couzens
had refused to sell his stock except
on tax free basis, and that Ford had
met that demand by coming to Wash
ington and seeing the right people, so
that the net profit of the transaction
to the minority stockholders was cal
culated at a very low figure. In any
case, Mellon has re-opened the issue,
and proposes to show the country that
Couzens owes it that $4,000 900. And
Couzens is in process of showing that
Mellon has tried to give the big cor
poration crowd at least $562,000,000 Of
taxes due the government, and he has
another lot of exemption claims
amounting to 100000, 900 under in
vestigation.
