President Coolidge had planned to

Meanwhile the President intends

Of the population, i. e., small mer-
chants, the intellectuals, etc, are pre-
vented from expanding their opera
tons, and their wish to see an eman-
cipation of the people is in vain The
Dutch authorities have attempted with
all their power to prevent the rise Of
a native bourgeoisie, which is, indeed,
practically non-existant.
Public health and public education
are almost wholly neglected by the
Dutch government Secondary and
high schools are relatively even fewer
than in other eastern countries.
TT is only natural that under such
L circumstances a violent revolution
airy movement was bound to develop
among the workers, the peasants, the
intelligentsia, and the petty bour'
geoisie. The revolutionary movement
gathered round the Communist Party
of the Dutch East Indies. the red"
trade unions, and the national party
know as Sarekat Rayat.
Ever since their inception the Dutch
government has attempted to suppress
these organizations, and the stronger
they grew the stronger became the
reaction. Since the end of the year
1925 theFwhite terror has hindered the
activity of these organizations, many
thousands of whose members and lead
ers have been killed, arrested or ex-
lied. Any movement aiming at an
amnesty was answered ,by rife bullets.
Every strike was suppressed, the lead
ers and even the strikers themselves
being thrown into prison. The editors
of East Indian newspapers were con-
demned to many years Imprisonment
for any utterance in criticism of the
government.
All channels were closed, even for
the expression of a demand for anne
Iteration of the conditions Of living.
The demands Of the masses cannot
even be formulated without mourning
punishment.
Having no legitimate means OF hold
ing assemblies, publishing newspapers
and forming organizations, the people
were finally forced to reply to the
white terror by rebellion.
That the revolt should occur just at
this time is doubtless to be attributed
in no mean degree to the powerful
effect produced by the recent events

IL.
THE outbreak of the rebellion in
i western Java came as a surprise,
but was not wholly unexpected. 1t
was not unexpected, since the reaction
carried on by the government under
the lead of Governor-General Fock
forced the native population to resort
to defensive measures.
The new encouragement, De
Graaff, who wished to initiate policy
aiming at restoring the confidence of
the natives, is no longer in position
to bring about change in the mood
of the people All elements of the
population are now directing their en-
ergy towards an emancipation of the
natives from Dutch dominion.
determination.
TIME governor-general has declared
4 that he will exterminate the Com
munists. But he is unaware Of the
relations between the Communists and
the population. He does not know
that the Fock regime, under the mask
of Combating Communism" was out
to suppress all such endeavors of the
natives to improve their position as
would have impaired the profits of
Dutch capitalists. He does not seem
to know that the Sarekat Rayat, the
only strong national organization Of
the people, is an organization of peas
ants, workers, petty bourgeois and in.
tellectuals. The composition of this
organization determines its national
character. 1t is by no means a Com
munist organization, tho it is led by
Communists. This shows that the per-
secution of the Communists and the
prohibition issued against the Sarekat
Rayat constitute a declaration of war
on the most active part of the native
population.
The trades unions, which strove for
an improvement of the lot of what was
certainly the most exploited proleta-
riat of the world (the workers in the
Dutch East Indies receive even less
wages than the Chinese laborer), were
prohibited on the grounds that they
were led by Communists; but this
does not mean that all native work

Communists Lead.
THE most Characteristic feature of
4 the Indonesian movement lies in
the fact that the active part Of the
Dutch East Indies population is head
ed by the Communists, so that the
Communists are also the champions
of the national movement. The per-
secution of the Communists, therefore,
means the suppression of a national
tendency, step which was bound to
lead to friction involving political at
tacks, the throwing of bombs, and
finally open revolt
The present rebellion is being con-
Quoted by the broad masses Of the
peasants, workers, petty bourgeois and
intellectuals. 1t has altogether the
character of general rising of the
population. The developments above
described made it natural for the Com
munists to take the lead in this move
ment, the general popular nature Of
which is proved by the claims put
forward by the insurgents:
Freedom of the press, freedom
for assemblies and organizations.
Amnesty for all political prisoners
and exiles. A general change of the
constitution, giving the people the
right to govern themselves, A gem
eral revision Of taxes, modification
in the taxation of the Indonesian
masses. Labor legislation and labor
protection. Extension and improve
ment of education"
These demands are deeply rooted
in the masses, who are determined to
fight for their realization to the ut
most The Dutch government will not
accede to these demands; on the con-
trary, its entire military resources are
being modified to crush the rebellion
and subjugate the native population
yet further.

THE drastic measures taken by the
l. Dutch government will only entail
the revolt of ever broader masses Of
the natives. This is the beginning Of

THE real motive of the rebellion

East Indian archipelago, half way be-

desires of many imperialists. There
fore, the Dutch imperialists, who rule
these parts, have determined to OBJ
serve the so.called "open-door" policy
in regard to foreign capital. But, as
a natural consequence, the Dutch gov
eminent is obliged to guarantee the
international capitalists the possibility
of exploiting the toiling masses in the
Dutch East Indies, and this the Dutch
authorities have actually done.

where we will be in position to in
fluence them by our propaganda. The
conference decided that several
youths athletic courses will be ar
ranged during next summer
In order to finance all these courses
and schools and teachers, the sections
pledged to arrange several socials to
get the needed funds. Usually the
women's sections have always done
more than their duty in financing our
workers. Instead of having only one
secretary, as hitherto, the conference
elected committee to assist the sec
rotary in conducting the work of the
sections.
The last and perhaps the most inn
portant question of the conference
was the financing of The DAILY
WORKER and propaganda among
other nationalities, including Ameri-
cans. The youth was thought of first,
now also. What are the means by
which be can get into contact with
them? The youth courses such as
we have held in Vaino these last two
summers were thought to be the best
way we can educate organizers of
youth. Also by organizing athletic
clubs and other young folks societies
we can get the youth of other nation
alities under the influence of the Com
munist movement. Other means by
which we can reach the adult workers
were discussed, such as distributing
the cooperative monthly, the Pyra-
mid Builder, and Of course The
DAILY WORKER. The financing OF
The DAILY WORKER was established
permanently as one of the duties of
Finnish women's sections. A few
years ago this issue would have been
received rather coldly, but this de-
cision proved that we have already
made considerable progress The
DAILY WORKER issue was accepted
with spirit that BELTS a class con-
scious worker; it was accepted as one
of our very own problems. The con-
ference resolved that each section
