CHINESE PEASANT ARMIES WIN ON FIVE FRONTS
Current Euents
By T. J. o'FIaherty

THAT Chang Kai-shek was much
over-rated hero is the gist of an
article written for London maga-
zine by the Chinese correspondent
for the New York Herald-Tribune.
Chang drew his strength from the
masses says this correspondent and
his popularity was created for him
by the Communists whom he used as
long as they were of service to him
in his aim to be dictator of China.
When he felt that he could dispense
with the radicals and with the Soviet
military and political advisers of the
Kuomintang he massacred the lead
ers of the former and maneuvered to
have the latter sent back to Russia.
CHIANG is now a discredited poll
y tician, depending on the favor of
Japan and other impel'ialist powers
for support. Even tho he may be
able to again play big role in China
it will only be temporary and not as
the beloved leader of the masses, but
as the militarist tool of foreign i'm
perialism. The writer of the article
referred to, states quite frankly that
the exploited coolies and the pea
santry were the backbone of the revo-
lutionary movement and that they
trusted the Communists and that
Chang collapsed like a stuffed shirt
when the Communists withdrew their
support from him. This is what The
DAILY WORKER has been telling it's
readers right along.
WE are glad to be able to state that
+" the Chinese revolution has entered
new phase with the revolutionary
workers and peasants the head as
well as the backbone of the move
ment. Already they have captured
several important cities. In the
meantime, another discontented gen
eral is marching on Picking and
Chang-Tso-lin is debating whether to
buy him or fight him. The Japanese
are said to be Strengthening their
position in Manchuria and p,-2parinf
hostile movements against the Soviet
Union. There are rumors that japan
VIII soon recognize the robbery of
Bessarabia by Roumania.
ANOTHER interesting bit of foreign
a news is the ratification of a nom
aggression pact between Persia and
the U.S.S.R. Great Britain and the
Gar once parcelled this country be-
tween them, The war upset that
apple cart. Even then Standard Oil
had its finger in the petroleum and
an American financial expert was en-
gagged to set the Persian house in
order. When the Russian workers
and peasants overthrew the Cars
government one Of their first acts
was to cancel all the unfair treaties
forced by the Gar on weaker coun-
tries. Persia was one of the bene-
ficiaries Of this policy. Since then
Great Britain has been active in
persia trying to make trouble for the
Soviet Union. But honesty is on the
side of Soviet diplomacy and strange

ALARM is SPREADING.
Reports Indicate Missionaries Face
New Danger.

NEW YORK. March 2S CN.-Cause
for great apprehension over the situa-
tion in Canton was indicated in ad-
vices from China received today by
DR.. A. l.. Warnshuis, secretary of the
International Missionary Council.
A policy of "watchful waiting has
been adopted by the various foreign
mission boards here pending a de-
cision on future activity in China
Some of the missionaries who have
found refuge in Shanghai due to the
hostilities have been transferred to
other sections outside the war zone,
DR.. Warnshuis said.
I'VE have no assurance" he said,
that the Southern armies will protect
foreigners. 1t is a general anti.foreign
movement and is not directed particu-
larly against missionaries and other
Christians. In many cases the local
people appear to have been friendly"
Anticipating the present crisis, the
American Baptist Foreign Mission So
ciety sent commission to China to
investigate conditions last December.
This body, headed by James III. Frank.
lin, foreign secretary, is due home late
in April. The future policy to be
adopted by the Baptist organization
regarding its work in China will be
shaped upon it's recommendations at
a meeting to be held in May, officials
said.

CONFERENCE IN TOXIC.
American Ambassador Discusses Sit.
uation With Shidehara.

TOXIC, March 2S.--Both Ambassador
MacVeagh and Counselor Norman Ar
mour of the United States embassy
visited Foreign Minister Shidehara to-
day and discussed the situation in
China.
1t is understood that the foreign
minister reiterated Japan's previously
announced intention of sending no
troopS or taking other drastic action
unlesS compelled TO do SO for the pro-
lection of Japanese lives and property.
There is little expectation here of
further serious trouble.
The ordering of the first squadron
to Chinese waters. which became
known last week. is understood to
have something of the nature of a
demonstration. However, the squad
ron makes its yearly cruise about
April l, and the sailing date has been
moved up few days in the hope Of
impressing upon the Chinese the ne
ceSsity of protecting foreigners.
The press generally continues calm.
There is general insistence Npon the
necessity of maintaining a strong at
titude, but no suggestion of armed in
reference has been made.
