Thousands of Tenant
Farmers of Illinois
Homeless from Flood

BEARDSTOWN, ILL.,, Nov. 30.-Two
thousand five hundred families, driven
from their homes near here by the
disastrous floods last month, are
wards of the Red Cross, homeless,
penniless, and hungry. These families
present a big relief problem to the
state, as they probably cannot return
to their farms for many months.
Most OF the sufferers are tenant
farmers, and did not own their own
places. They barely had enough to
live on while working; now they have
nothing.
At present the Red Cross is giving
them rations and clothes, and furnish
ing them shelter.

FRANCHISE IN WHICH DUH meu ana W.
men over 81 years voted, the social
democrats won considerable successes.
It won tens OF thousands of votes away
from the bourgeois parties and OBJ
tanned majorities in hundreds OF indus
trial municipalities. Immediately at
ter the parliamentary elections in 1921
a clerical liberal coalition government
was formed. The social democrats re-
manned in the opposition, naturally his
majesty's loyal opposition.
Coalitions Formed.
The period OF 1921 to 1926 was
marked by a continual intensifcation
of the economic situation, by a con-
tinual increase in the cost OF living,
by the depreciation of the franc and
by new taxes. The dissatisfaction Of
the masses led in the parliamentary
elections IN April, 1925 to a great suc-
cess for the social democracy and to
the formation OF social democratic
clerical coalition government. But
when the coalition socialists were
faced with the brutal necessity of car.
rying on a struggle against the bour-
geoisie, they abandoned the whole pro-
gram of immediate demands for the
working masses.
Forget Promises.
After the shameful fight of the
Poullet-V andervelde government be-
fore the attacks OF nigh finance and
after the formation of the bankers
government with the support and par
ticipation Of the social democratic
leaders, many Of the illusions which
had been awakened by reformism, be-
gan to disappear. Instead of a capital
levy on the rich, instead of a reduc-
ton Of the state debts, instead of new
taxes upon unearned increment, in
stead Of reductions in indirect taxes,
there came a so per cent increase Of
the taxes hitting the masses, con-
siderable increase of the state debt by
the recognition Of the war debts to
America, the handing over of the rail
ways to a private company together
with tremendous increase Of its tar
if, the widening of the privileges Of
the Banque Rationale.
Conditions Worse.
But all these measures did not pre-
vent a further fall in the Belgian
franc. In side half a year the franc
has fallen from los to IT'S and oc-
casionally 20 ever zee % the pound
sterling, continued increase in the
cost Of living and an increase in the
misery Of the masses. These were
the circumstances under which the
municipal elections were. fought.
Tried to Confuse Issues.
The reformist leaders did everything
possible to keep the. general political
questions as far apart as possible from

the municipal elections. But their at
tempts to limit the character Of the
elections to purely narrow local ques-
lions, were foiled thanks to an ener-
getic campaign on the part OF the
Communist Party which for the first
time put forward candidates in sixty
three from the $500 Belgian municipal
tiles, including candidates in the most
important DISTRICTS.
Communists Gain.
On the eve Of the elections all the
ether parties both the bourgeois and
the social democrats declared that the
Communists play no role in the cleo
TONS" Nevertheless the energetic
campaign which was carried on by the
Communist Party induced the social
democrats to print and spread leafet
in hundreds OF thousands Of copies di-
rected exclusively against the Com.
munist Party and against the Russian
revolution.
For the first time our small Belgian
section OF the Communist Interna-
tional has taken part in the municipal
elections. As is known it has approx
imately 1000 members, however, we
won 10000 votes and rs candidates.
In Brussels and in the larger NUM-
cipalities the Communist votes varied
between rs and 80 per cent of the So
cial democratic votes. In Serang we
received votes amounting to 81 per
cent Of the social democratic votes
and 28.62 per cent of all the valid
votes cast. Even in the reformist
stronghold of Client we. achieved a
splendid result. In the parliamentary
election in April, 1925 we received $50
votes. At this election we received
Reformists Uneasy.
The refofmist leaders are naturally
attempting to minimize the impor-
lance Of our electoral successes. They
are, however, unable to conceal their
uneasiness in the face Of such favor
able results for the Communists. Their
press is sounding the alarm. The
"vooruit" in Client writes that the re.
formists have. underestimated the
Communist propaganda and that now
they must really seriously deal with
the Communists. lie Peuple," Brus-
sells, writes that now the work Of the
Communist nuclei in the trade unions
must finally ba slammed" The hour.
geois press which is enthusiastic about
the progress of the clericals, remarks
that nevertheless it would be danger
GUS to close ones eyes to the advance
Of the Communists. Everything must
be done, 1t writes, to counterfeit the
agitation Of the Communists which has
made such serious progress as shown
in the elections.

4 KILLED, 400
ARRESTED IN
JAVA RISING
Movement Gro w in g
Among the Javans


LONDON, Nov. 3O-Only scanty
news is to hand as yet of the native
rising led by the Communist Party at
the end of last week in western Java.
. 1t is known that four Communists have
been killed and over 400 arrested, and
that "the situation is we'll in hand"
from the imperialist point Of view.
That is to say, the natives have
been crushed by the powerful armed
forces which are kept in constant
readiness at every point Of the Dutch
East Indies.
Marks Awakening.
But the fact that the rising has
taken place marks a further stage IN
the awakening Of the east.
Java is the heart of the Dutch East
Indies colonies-it Is more densely
populated than England, or even Bel
GUM, and provides the bulk Of the ex-
ports which put about a70,000.000 a
year into the pockets of Dutch and
British planters, shippers. merchants
and bankers.
Sold with Land.
Until the beginning Of this century
most OF the S4,OO0,OOO native inhabi-
ltants Of this island were living as serfs
on the large government or privately
owner estates. They were compelled
TO do one days free labor in every
seven, and when the land on which
they lived was sold they were sold
with 1t.
The rapid industrialization of Java
the growers on the big coffee, sugar
and rubber plantations, the develop
ment of the railways (there are 5000
miles of railway, and the exploitation
Of vegetable oils and Of petroleum
have fastened the transformation OF
the serf into proletarian.
No longer does the Javanese native
give the days forced labor a week to
his landlord. In exchange for an in
creased poll tax he is now free" to
work all the seven days in the week
for boss-and to try to get living
out Of 1t.
Last Years Rising.
AS a result, class consciousness has
rapidly developed, Communism is un-
derstood, and the government perse-
,cution Of the working class has be-
come intensified.
Last summer, as the result of an
abortive rising in Samarang 1--WE have
few details csbout it) 500 revolution
lists" were reported to have been i'm
prisoned and, of their two chief lead
ers, one died in Punishment and the
other-the president of the railway
mems union-died in jail. One of
the detectives of the rising last week
was an attack on the prison in which
many Of the comrades are still con-
fined. ss-gr
The revolt may have failed to
achieve its immediate end, but its
result will be to intensity the struggle
of the Javanese workers.
Britain Affected.
And that struggle is one which
deeply affects British imperialism-for
the Dutch colonies are merely sub
sidiary company Of the British empire.
The JaVanese, moreover, are Ma
Iayan race, and near by, in the Malay
peninsular, the working class popula-
ton under British rule is growing at
the rate of 100000 year, and were
reported by the attorney-general Of
Singapore a few months ago to be
seriously affected by Communist
propaganda"
The onward march of the Kuomin-
chang in China is followed and under
stood by all the workers in the East.

'By name Walter Moynihan, son
of local doctor, and living right on

'fMoynihan started playing golf
when Sauk Centre built it's course on
the shores of Sauk lake, and before
reaching the age of Is made a
course record of 35 on par 81. The
record still stands.
That same year he entered the re-

losing on the 10Th hole. At the age
of 16 he was runner-up to Lester Boil
stad in THE state junior tournament
at Minneapolis, and runner-up to the
