SIBERIAN PROGRESS
Bv TOM BARKER

NOVO SIBIRSK, Siberia - (FP)
-"Soviet Siberia is now at the point
where American middle west was
right after the civil war;" says Peter
Kietes of the Siberian executive po-
litical committee, whose IA members
govern an area larger than the United
States. eve are tremendously rich
in natural resources, but otherwise
we are poor, although we are max
ing progress. We need machinery
on credit"
Kietes is to represent the industrial
district of Kemerovo, controlled by
'Kusbas." He is in charge of ship
ments at the chemical plant.
We talked in the recently opened
House of the Soviets in the Siberian
capital, a building attractive and al
so beautiful, commanding the lOrdly
Oh river. Kietes came to Siberia
with the first Kuzbas group in 1921.
"Before coming here / lived in the
state of Washington for 10 years as
lumberjack and farmer" he said. 81
still have a 100-acre lot there. In
Siberia we have the largest single
area of agricultural land in the world.
The peasant dumps the stable manure
into the creek and the soil still
smiles on him year after year. There
is coal by the billions of tons, iron
ore, gold, rivers, forests teeming with
fUr-bearing animals, fish. Richest
country in the world.
We here are planning everything,
every step of the way. We are a
government that is operating indus
try, and we know where we're going
and what for. Everything is pro-
vided for in our state budget: Loans
extended to Siberia are not backed
by Individual firms, but by the re-
sources of the soviet state.
"Let the United States recognize
us and we will take half a billion
dollars of equipment a year in place
of the $100,000,000 we are buying to-
day"
Then the farmer asserted himself
II was out camping last year near a
village. About 100 yards away there
were two beehives. Do you know, we
never saw a bee near our camp all
the time. The flowers were so plenti-
full that the bees just hoped off the
hive right on to them. They did all
their honey hunting within a 20-yarC
radius"
Then the 19-year residence in the
western states showed itself; "Great-
est country in the world. Pm telling
you, is our Soviet Siberia" Kietes
wound up.

Trotsky Right About
England, Nearing Says
Bv SCOTT NEARING

Leon TrOtsky. recently wrote a
book to prove an argument which
ran something like this: Britain can
not make the transition from capital
ism to socialism by constitutional
means; her labor leaders are hope
lessly constitutional; therefore new
labor leadership is imperatively need
ed"
When the book (Whither England 2
appeared Macdonald and other re-
spOnsible leaders of the British labor
movement punched it full of logical
holes. But in the meantime a greater
than Macdonald arose in the form of
the general strike. What Macdonald
and his followers denied as a matter
of logic the general strike and its
following events demonstrated as a
matter of experience. Nowhere has
this demonstration been more evident
than in the trade union movement.
Pres. Pugh came to the Bourne
mouth Trades Union congress Sept.
6, 1926, with the assertion that the
supreme lesson Of the strike was its
demonstration of the faith of the
British workers in the methods of
democracy.
"When the unions combined their
forces last May" Pugh asserted,
"they were not invoking any new
principle Of industrial action, but sim
ply asserting more effectively on a
larger scale the traditional trade I'M
ion refusal to accept dictated terms
of employment whether from the en-
ployers or the government"
This was the attitude Pugh assumed
throughout the Trades Union con-
gress sessions at Bournemouth. II
was the official attitude of the mem
bers of the general council. Democ-
racy, trade unionism, to them "was
is and shall be-"
Masses of British workers are in a
quite different frame of mind. If they
learned anything during the general
strike and the miners lockout, it was
the lesson of dictatorhip. No sooner
was the strike seriously threatening
than the government called into be-
ing the emergency powers act; de-
clared a dictatorship over the ecOnOm.
IL dllQ DOllLlCdl lllG VI CllC
suspended all the ordinary guarantee;
of free speech and free press, anC
used the police, the army and the
navy in its efforts at strikebreaking
The general strike was the sigma
for the government and the employ
ers to combine to crush the organiza
tons of the labor movement.
Pres. Pugh said this in his presi
Dental address, but when it came t,
the Interpretation of the event he in
sisted that the supreme lesson Of tn
strike was the lesson in democratic
methods.
But Trotsky was plainly right. Brit
ain will not proceed to the socia
transformation through the channel
of democratic action. During tn
crisis just passed she had dictotor
ship. She will have other dictator
] ships for the crises that impend.
Meanwhile her labor leaders, refus
ing to build on experience, continu
to repeat the phrases they Ieame
in the days before the world wal
leaving it to a new generation O
fighters to convert the recent labo
experience into a program of sue
cessful labor action.

Reluctantly Turn to
Revolutionary China

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Radical
Chin is providing the only safe
guards to American and other for
eigners in the midst of the bitterest
civil war the country has yet known
while reactionary and militarist China
is turning a savage face toward its
foreign allies. That is the perplex-
ing fact which American state depart
ment officials gather from dispatches
from Picking, Hankow, Shanghai and
Canton. 1t is confirmed by special
press dispatches from China and is
now dignified by a reluctant editorial
in the New York Times-which al
ways has influence with diplomatic
Washington.
Frank Lockhart was sent to Han
kow as American consul-general to
watch over American commercial in
terests in central China and to re-
port on the dangerous spread of the
nationalist doctrine of the cred" gov
eminent at Canton. Now Lockhart
reports the Cantonese forces as re-
speeding the rights of Chinese and
foreigners, while the militarist Sun
Chuanfang is marking his campaign
against radicals by indiscriminate
massacre and loOting.
Reluctantly the American authori-
ties in touch with China, who feel
responsible for the safety of Ameri-
can lives in that country, are turning
to the Cantonese radicals" friendly
to the Soviet Union, as the one ele-
ment which may restore order and a
hope of progress in the nation.

Wills TO MEET

MATCHES TODAY
[By Dispatch A. P. wirel

SEABRIGHT, N. j., Aug. 5.-Helen
Wills came through crucial test of
tennis form and playing strength with
a convincing victory over Miss Flea
nor Goss of New York, in the semi

Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-08-06

Arzate, Arguijo, MinjareS and Con-
zales are the four shining lights of the
Juarez team signed UP for the Blues
by Tom Glenn Thursday.
That the Juarez club had disbanded
was first learned when the four Juarez
players, whom Tom Glenn had been
angling for during the past three
weeks, wired him Thursday morning
that they were on their way
While the press carried stories that
allowed to play on any other Copper
league team, little difficulty is antici-
pated on that score. The salaries of
the Juarez players is far in arrears,
and according to the rules of organ
ized baseball, player becomes free
agent when his pay becomes three days
past due.
With the acquisition of the new play
ers the Douglas Blues now boast eight
of the players recently selected as the
first team of the Copper league
A more scintillating array of base
ball stars than the line-ups which the
fans will see in action today could not
be gathered anywhere but in the big
talent has ever been seen gathered for
one series before in this section of the
country.
Jimmy O'Connen, the $3.50
beauty will be seen in action when
the league-leading Fort Bayard Vet
Grams and the Blues tangle in what
will undoubtedly be the bitterest fought
series of the second half.
With Buck Weaver back in the line
up and with the acquisition of Pete
McHenry, former Cincinnati and coast
league star twirler, the Blues were
considered to stand good show to
come out on top in the series with the
fast stepping Veterans. The last min
ute addition of the four Juarez stars
strengthens the chance
and local fans are scheduled to see the
Blues come out winners in three of the
fastest games ever played in the south
west.
Arzate is considered to be the most
brilliant catcher ever to don a uniform
in the entire southwest. Gonzales is
a classy third saclSer and one of the
hardest hitters in the league. Min
jarez is without a peer in the Copper
league in his position at second base
and Arguijo is leading all pitchers in
the percentage column of this league.
In order for the Blues to stand
chance of coping the second half pen
nant, it will be necessary for some
body to nick the league-leading Vet
Grams for flock of games and the 10
cal boys have unanimously dedicated
to that particular cause.
The future of the local club will de-
pend largely upon the present series,
according to the club directors, who
declare that if the Blues are to wealth
er their present financial crisis they
must receive the unlimited support of
Douglas fans. With the class of base
ball scheduled to feature the series with
Fort Bayard it is not considered likely
that the club directors will have to
worry about gate receipts.
McHenry and Arzate will face the
Veterans in the opening game of the
series today. Arzate needs no intro
duction as a catcher and McHenry has
become acclimatized and, according to
those who have watched the mid-week
practices, has his fast curve ball
breaking right.
The game is called for 4 p. m.
