Finally, the volume of support is so
great that the British Communist

its work openly with confidence in the
determination of the workers to pre-
vent It from being driven out of ex-

!. The Blockade of Canton.

In south China, that is, in Hongkong,
and in Shameen (the foreign settle
ment of Canton) 10000 workers are
on strike. The strike was called in
June in protest against the Shanghai
shooting and the subsequent firing at
a labor demonstration by the British
at Shaki Road, Canton. The strike
is conducted courageously and deter
minedly. You will become convinced
of this if you follow along with us to
the labor organizations, to the labor
meetings, everywhere where our Chi
nese comrades take us.
Well, let us begin with the lunch
rooms. They are full Of people, most
Of them Hongkongers, Of whom there
are $4,000 in Canton. The rest have
been temporarily sent to the country,
where they are kept by the peasantry.
Our appearance causes surprise. Ever
since the strike was declared Shameen
has barricaded itself up and not a
single European has dared to show up
in town. The few Soviet citizens re-
siding in Canton have already become
known to the natives, while the Ger
mans walk around with white ribbons
which announce to the world that their
are not to be mistreated. Oppressed
nations always sympathize with each
other especially IL they have COM
mon oppressor.
The German Armed Bands.
Il is only q question whether the
protecting ribbon should be worn by
the Germans living and trading in
Canton or by those others who have
remained at home under the yoke OF
the Deutsch rationale. Well, who has
the time in Canton to bother with
these things? There is plenty to do
without It. One thing should be
noted, however. Prior to these events
the honorable sons of the fatherland
were decorating their homes with the
flag Of the monarchy. When things
became turbulent, however the old
flags were Immediately replaced by
the black, red and gold (the republi-
can colors).
The social-democrats have some
thing TO rejoice about. The bour-
geoisie use their flag TO guard against

ious enemy of the labor movement
willingly agreed. But no amount Of
verbal juggling can alter the fact that,
for once in a while, this spokesman of
the old order spoke the truth as to the
future intentions of the government.
The case for the prosecution was
one of the weakest ever propounded tn
a British court Of law and this is ad-
mitted by even bourgeois legal spokes-
men. But in spite Of this the twelve
were found guilty and those with prev
ious political convictions against them
sentenced to one year in prison. The
judge, during the concluding scenes,
furnished final illustration of the
real purpose Of the prosecution. To
the remaining seven comrades he
made the following proposition If
they would agree to renounee the Com

preach its doctrines amongst the work.
ing class they would be given their
freedom. OF course they scornfully
and Indignantly refused and the great
est trial in modern political history in
Britain closed as they were sentenced
each to six months imprisonment.
What Are the Results Of MacDonaId's
Campaign?
TT is one thing to manipulate a con-
L ference into accepting a program of
capitalist continuity and another to
get the working class which control
the local organs of the labor move
ment to accept it. The pressing need
for unity in face of the capitalist Of
fensive, unity based upon a working
class consciousness is making the Mac
Donald resolutions of Liverpool
scarcely worth more than the paper
they were printed on. Even before the
arrest of the Communist leaders near
ly so important city or divisional la
Dor parties had refused to operate the
Liverpool decisions. In all parts of
the country left-wing blocs of Commu-
nists and sympathetic trade union del
egates have been formed to carry on
campaign for unity. The net result
of Liverpool is to have translated ten
denotes toward working class unity
into definite organs pledged to fight
for unit yand a reversal of the Liver
pool decisions of disruption.
Without the arrest of the Commu-
nists the pressing urges of the eco
nomic situation would have forced
unity in the face of Liverpool but the
situation now after the arrests leave
Macdonald in pitiable position. No
wonder he writes to the London Times
asking: what good is it our fighting
Bolshevism if it is to be manufactured
| by the government"
What Are the Results Of the Offensive
Against the Communist Party?
| THE reaction in the labor organiza-
L tons and amongst the workers gen
orally is of such a character that Ito

to MacDonald): "he who was the en-
envy of the Communists at Liverpool

One might add that this is necessary
to keep his position as leader of the
labor party.

munists has raised a tremendous

working class elements should unite
to turn the labor party and the trade
unions into real instruments Of the
workers in the class struggle.
But during November a further
stage was reached. Ten London labor
parties sent fifty delegates to left
wing conference. Here it was decided
to form a provisional left wing COM
mittee charged with the task Of for
mulating a working class program Of
action and to organize an allinclusive

tempts. are also being made in other
large cities and negotiations are pro-
ceeding to unite them all in national
left wing bloc.
The Task Of the Communist Party.
| OBVIOUSLY the Communist Party
~ cannot stand apart from all this
work. We must, by every means pos
sible, assist the formation and parti-
cipate in the work Of these left-wing
blocs and endeavor to secure united
left wing association. The situation
becomes so acute that the most impor-
tant task of the party is to mobilize.
all these elements to fight the attack
Of the governing class. At present
these groups of the left wing are not
united. We must obtain an organiza.
tional basis and program OF action
on which all these groups can make a
common fight. The strength Of the
left wing would be great as the fol-
lowing list of present groupings will
show.
1. The Communist Party.
2. The National Minority Move
ment.
8. The Unemployed Workers Com
mittees.
4. The Left Wing blocs in the La
Dor Party.
5. The left wing trade union group
Purcell, Hicks, Cook, etc.).
6. The left wing parliamentary
group (Wheatley, Wedgewood, Max
ton, etc..
Z. The Plebs league.
8. The Lansbury group 20. Lans-
bury, Postgate, Price, etc..
OF course, it may not be possible TO
obtain an organizational basis wide
enough to include them all, but a pro
gram of action could be hammered
out which would guarantee joint fight
ing against the attacks of the govern
ment and its allies, the right wing re-

little secret: the Chinese never noted
the change of flags, for they are too
busy fighting the British imperialism
and they are hopeful that the German
working class will itself manage its

Meals of Rice and Worms.
Well, then, back to the strikers
lunchrooms. We examined the food.
Not so bad, better than the usual
coolie fare. The Chinese generally
feed badly. You can't go far on rice
and worms. The Chinese have appar-
emily already realized that il is time
to take up more nutritious food and
just because they have realized this
they continue uncomplainingly to feed
on rice and various insects which are
served out to the strikers for 20 cents
a day each. Every day of the strike
costs 1900 Canton dollars. Already
100000 dollars have been spent. And
money is not easy to get.
Those sections of the population
which fully sympathize with the
strike have little money to spare,
while those who have the money have

Relief is pouring in not only from
within the country but from the Chi.
nese abroad as well.
To be sure. the imperialists do
everything possible to prevent the in.
flux Of funds from abroad, but some
money does leak thru. II only,ther
were a will to help, the way will be
found. We are told of various sums
being held up by tho British authori-
ties (about $4,000 definitely known
to have been held up). This money
was mailed to Canton by Cinnamon

Java. Manila, Singapore and other
colonies. Mail drafts are being stolen.

COSTLY FEAT
FOR TRULY

ONE of the difficulties beset-
" ting the would-be English
Channel swimmer Is the cost,
about which little mention has
been made but which, in Gertrude
Ederle's case, amounted to about
$1,000. Describing Trudy's train
ing at Girls Nez before she set
out on her record-breaking swim,
Julia Harpman, who was her COM
panion up to the ventures sue
cessful completion, writes in Lib.
erty.
This business of swimming the
Channel is not a 5-and-10-cent af-
fair. Especially for an American.
There are tugs to be hired at a
cost of 800 francs an hour, besides
cost of food for the crew and tips
all around The trainer receives
a gentleman's wage. also his
board during the entire period of
training" This gentleman
wage" amounted in the present
case OF Gertrude Ederle's trainer
TO 10000 francs for the season.
1.-THE swimmer" Miss Harpman
continues, must buy grease and
rundown stuff, rope and tackle,
and whatever eslse comes into the
mind of the trainer. A small boat
must be purchased, presumably to
accompany the swimmer on train
ing swims OF one to three hours.
After passage to and from
France has been paid and ali
expenses Of an attempt at the
Channel have been covered. there
will be very little left Of S6,oo0."

Respect Public Property, Please!

Most every little boy and girl
has the impulse to pull flowers
or fruit from a yard that looks
inviting.
But this tendency should be
nipped in the bud. The next
offense after that is the wilful
uprooting or beating down Of
somebody else's plants.
Limbs torn from a little tree;
shrubbery trampled under foot;
grass scared from mischievous
fIames-all of these and more
bespeak the spirit that is too
often abroad in places meant for
recreation.
Those parents who wink at the
DETACHMENT of rented property.
or who take no care of that
which belongs to others, need not
be surprised at any outbreak on
the part of their unfortunate off
spring.
Train your child to take care
of property. First instill in his
mind the necessity Of taking care
of things at home. Teach him
that ne must not only refrain
from actual destruction, but that
he is under obligation to set right
misplaced things when he sees
them.
The simple task of keeping
stray papers off the premises and
the adjacent street gives a child
a very definite idea of conserva-
ton. In addition to that he can
be persuaded to water or use the
hose to wash the sidewalk. His
attending to the small things that
make a place presentable means
that a big step has been taken
toward implanting in his charac-
ter a wholesome respect for prop.

away from the shore. He turned
from the window to the table
and lighted the cigar st. Pierre's

In spite OF the mental struggle
he had made during the presence
OF Nepapinas. he had failed to
get a grip on himself. For a
time he had ceased to be David
Carrigan, the man-hunter. A
few days ago his blood had run
to that almost Savage thrill Of
the great game of one against
one. the game in which Law sat
on one side of the board and
Lawlessness on the other, with
the cards between. It was the
great gamble. The cards meant
life or death: there was never
a checkmate-one or the other
had to lose.
