Hickory Hill
Near MiIlSbOrO)

Owing to the bad weather Sunday
the church services were not very
well attended.
A small cyclone seemed to strike
this section of the country Sunday.
Peach trees, fodder stocks, garages
and a few houses were raised up and
blown everywhere.
William B. E. EllingswOrth and
wife spent Sunday with Scott Ell
lingsworth and children.
Word has been received from
Scott Ellingsworth, and we guess he
is going to stay, for he is working.
While it was blowing so hard Sun
day it left a streak around Indian
Town Hill, due to the fact that Crit
ty" Pusey, the young giant, was
coming up it-thus cutting off the
cyclone.

SOLDIER JAILED
AFTER PROTEST
ON CROUCH CASE
Paper Gives Letter to
Army Authorities
Ry WALTER M. TRUMRULL


FORT SKATER, Guard House.
Honolulu, Hawaii-(By MaiD-It has
come to light that a soldier in the
Bird Engineers, Schofield Bks., Hawaii,
had letter of protest concerning, the
Crouch-Trumbull case returned to
him.
The soldier, having learned of our
Imprisonment, wrote to the Honolulu
Advertiser informing them of the jail
ing of the two Reds and protesting
against the illegal proceedings.
Advertiser Suppressed News
His letter, written in March, was
not published but. was turned over to
army authorities ! by the Advertiser.
It is significant that this paper knew
of our case about a month before our
trials and yet Withheld the news.
About the 18th of May, the letter
was returned to the writer by a mem
Der of the staff of the Office of the
assistant chief of staff, G-2 Hawaiian
Division.
Confined To Guardhouse
The manner in which the letter was
returned conclusively showed that
the authorities wanted the soldier to
know how completely they control
the press here.
The same soldier is in confinement
at present, charged with the most tri
vial offense. He has endured consider
able persecution without murmer and
the guardhouse is the climax.

To the DAILY WORKER: MY work

a part of town in which the workers
live. Hundreds of young girls work
in the stores, laundries and packing

meager wages. Their only refuge is
marriage so they marry early in life

Second Uprising for Soviet.
The insurrection Of the northern
Bessarabian peasants in the year 1919
is quite a different one from the insur-

The first one was spontaneous unor-

marched out against the occupants
without any definite platform. The
second was an instruction Of peas

Under Foreign Yoke.
Foreign imperialism, led by Britain,
holds our country in real subsection.
Foreign Imperialism acts under the
UNEQUAL treaties, the first Of which
was imposed on China by Britain in
1912. On the basis of these treaties,
the imperialist powers have developed
an international system Of rule under
which:
(a) British and other foreign ma
tionals are not bound by our labor,
factory, or fiscal legislation, nor by
any other of our national laws and
are wholly outside Of the jurisdiction
of all our courts Of justice.
(b) British and other foreigners
govern areas known as settlements
like Shanghai), concessions, and
leased territories, which are really
strategic fortresses where foreign cap
italism controls and dominates our
import and export trade and fixes and
regulates lin the interests Of foreign
owned banks and international
finance) the money exchange rate be-
tween China and the worlds money
market. These centres, serving as
safe asylums for defeated militarists
and corrupt officials, do in fact con-
stitute a real factor of political dis
organization and administrative ineffi-
cheney and corruption in China
Big Dumping Ground.
(c) Owing to foreign control of our
customs administration not only is
China denied the right to fix her
own customs tariff, but she is un-
doubtedly becoming an international
dumping ground for the products of
the sweated labor Of the capitalist
states of the world.
Nationalist China, in whose name
speak, demands liberation from the
imperialist system, which is based on
the unequal treaties, and therefore
the abrogation of these treaties and
the negotiation sof, new ones on the
principle of China's equality with
every other sovereign and indepen.
dent state. AS long as foreign i'm.
perialism holds my country in sub.
lection, the repetition of British mas,
sacres like those at Shanghai is in
evitable. 4s

After few days severe conflict
sprang up with the representatives of
the local authorities; single cases Of
murders, assassination of gendarmes
and military representatives of the oc-
cupants looks place.
Peasants Revolt Against Tyranny.
The rural gendarmes were given un-
limited power and we have to do JUS
tice to them-they made good use Of
1t. Every village every hamlet turned
into separate kind of some vassaps
princedom, where the Sovereign was
the gendarme, endowed with the right
to execute and pardon" The logical
respond to such system of govern
ment was the unanimous revolt Of the
North of Bessarabias before the ami
versary Of the reunion" between the
"Tsaria Mumy" (mother country and
its daughter" zBessarabia.
The revolt broke out in the county
Of Khotinsk and spread quickly over
the Soroksk county that is mainly
populated by Moldavians. The spon-
taneous cruelty with which the peas
ants got even with the occupants can
illustrate best the tender "love" that
the whole population of Bessarabia
cherished towards Roumania. Almost
the entire population took part in the
instruction. The avenging hand
struck first the celebrated Rumanian
hangman, Gen. Paeta, who was killed
in the village of Ataka by the IL
year old son of worker. In the
village Of Oknitsa so years old peas
ant personally fired from machine

During two weeks the, fevolted dis

position to master the high, tide of
the mass rebellion. The, insurrection
grew with irresistible rapidity. The
Rumanian soldiers were captured by
scores and as it seemed, it was only
necessary to get in touch with the
center of Bessarbia and success was
secured. IS eilN

But the rebels could not avoid the
