BRITISH INVESTIGATOR
SURPRISES HIMSELF AND
US BY WHAT HE LEARNS

LONDON, Dec. IA. T. Kay,
who was member Of the rigeed-up
trades union mission which recently
visited the United States, made at
least one interesting discovery
While there.
He has told the Institute of Brit
ish Foundrymen In Birmingham how
he went to call Unexpectedly on a
Pittsburgh moulder. He was ad-
mitted TO a fine home by maid,
found the mouIder and his family
dining in evening clothes, and was
later taken to his hotel in his hosts
8o-horsepower motor. On the way
he learned that the moulder had
paid $4,000 for his house and had
$4,000 In the bank.

it hint that prohibition is not

States, especially in Pittsburgh.

particularly the workers, thoroughly
understand what they are fighting for.
In other words, they understand the
purpose Of their work and because OF
that they can fight very efficiently.
South China Control Complete.
South China is completely control
led by the Peoples Government, and
away up in the north we have 100000
in the Kuominchun army as a part
and parcel Of the Kuomintang; there
fore, with the Peoples Government
controlling exactly 10 provinces in the
south, and with the 100000 Kuomin-
tang army in the north, you see it
is not difficult To recognize that sue
cess is not far distant.
Almost every Chinese hates the
militarists; and everywhere the mill
tarists go, if they can not hold the
place by force, they are bound to suf-
fer. On the other hand it is different
with the revolutionists. Wherever
the revolutionary army appeared they
were welcomed by the Chinese, by all
the people in the locality With the
people all welcoming the Kuominchun
army, l can safely say to you that
within very short time the Peoples
Government is going 10 control all
China, and then China will be one.
Financially Strong.
The Peoples Government is the
Kuomintang government and Kuomin-
tang's government or the Peoples
Government as you might say, Is
very strong. We have no
internal financial difficulties; and be-
sides the members OF the Peoples
Government do not have any great
attachment to money so they are not
corrupted.

During the Chinese liberation strug.
gle, the workers helped the revolu-
tionary army by going on strike.
There are three railroads in Canton,
and while the army and ammunition
and supplies Of sthe militarists were
being put on the train, and were
ready to be transported, the workers
simply went on strike and they were
not able to move the ammunition.
That is the way in which they help
ed the Kuomintang army to succeed.
Last August the people OF Kwang-
tung province were emancipated, but

.s-1 Different Than Before.
This time the northern drive, the
drive against the militarists, is diff
ferent from the ordinary Chinese war.
The ChineseVwar lords usually fought
for the control of specific province,
for that control 80 they could get
money bankruptcies and power. But
the purpose Of the Kuominchun army
is not to get control OF the province,
but to semancipate the Chinese people.
In other words, the revolutionary
army is fighting in the interests and
for the interests Of the Chinese
people.

year. At that time the Kuominchun
army had started its northern drive,

FOREIGN MINISTERS At
GENEVA AS LEAGUE WILL
JUGGLE GERMAN PROBLEM

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. a.
The league of nations council meet
ing has opened and faces the prob
lem of considering the demands and
eounter-demands of France and Ger
many in connection with allied evac-
uation CT the Rhine. Every other
problem will be subordinated to this
issue. Future relations between
Germany and France will depend on
the decision Of the league council,
it is believed.
Germany demands that the allied
troops be removed from her terri
tory, and that armament control of
Germany be transferred imme-
diately from the interalied commits
sion to the league. France fears
that Germany is arming against her,
and is reluctant to lose control.
The following ministers have ar
rived for the meeting: Stresemann,
Germany; BRAND, France; Cham
berain, England; Vandervelde, Bel
GUM; zaleski, Poland; Benes,

Shanghai, and that is going to fall
into the hands of the Kuominchun
army within a very short time.
Reason for Success.
Why has the revolutionary army
succeeded SO rapidly? The first rea.
son is that the Kuominchun army has
worked and cooperated with the
people. The great majority of the
Chinese people are workers; and the
workers in comparison with all other
classes OF people are most suited for
revolution. During our campaign
in Canton, as told you, the workers
as well as the peasants, helped and
contributed great part towards our
success. Also, in Shanghai, in the
present struggle for the control OF
Shanghai, the Shanghai workers are
playing great role. With this large
majority OF the Chinese people CO.
operating with the revolutionary
army, there is every reason for sue
cess and no reason for failure.
The second cause for our rapid sue
cess is that all OF the revolutionists,

stable. There is no question about
the paper money of the Canton gov
eminent at all.
Just Beginning.
The work of the Peoples Govern
ment is just at its beginning but
there are many illustrations of the
constructive nature of the work
thoroughly done.
For instance, l will speak about
education because | am most inter
ested in that. The Canton city govern

In spite of these erroneous reports
must say the Peoples Government
does not refuse to invite foreign
capital that will help the Chinese ma.
ton to build its own industry; and
We want people who genuinely want
to help China; we want foreign tech
nicians, foreign capitalists to help us
build up our industries.
"BoIsheVik" Charge.
The newspapers also say that the
Canton government is Red" It is
"Bolshevik," it is Communist" They
also say that the Canton government

the Chinese. l do not understand
what they mean by "Bolshevik." Any
way, / do not think those reports are

pressed, and we In turn want to help
