The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-10-08

at is interesting to note the theological forms
taken by the campaign of the big bourgeoise
and the military reaction against the peasants and
workers movement. At Hankow, for instance,
theory was evolved about so-called "excesses' and
diseases of leftism." This theory consists in the
assertion that the Chinese workers and peasants
movement is still in a stage of infancy, that it has
not yet grown mature, and that therefore it suf-
fers from "infantie left Diseases resorting to Eek
cesses" of every kind. The term 'excesses is used
here to describe such actions characteristic
of any revolutionary upheaval, such the arrest
of thevish officials directly by the people, the dom
ming of silk hat upon usurer's head Ga token of
degradation according to Chinese notions), and so
on. AS excuses were also described the most ele-
mentary industrial actions of the workers. such as
the presentation of demands for a weekly day of
rest, for shorter hours, ,etc.
'The peasants movement had scared the Kuomn-
tang leaders. As the peasants movement grew it
began to eneroach upon the interests of the army
officers, the trading bourgeoise, and the elements
of the population associated with them. The peas
ants movement had hit the pocket of many prom
inent Kuomntang leader. Efforts began to be made
to curb the zeal of the "unripe' workers and peas
ants movement. AT the same time it ought to be
observed that the Wuhan government had never
enjoyed real power that virtually the power was in
the hands of the military It is for this reason that
the counter revolutionary coup had been so easily
effected in Wuhan On top of this was the fact that
the trade unions and the peasants organizations
were ieu ALMOST exclusively Dy mtellectualS and
that the system of appointments prevailed whereby
the Kuomlntang party had placed its henchmen in
the mass organizations, which made it easy to oui-
date the workers and peasants unions
ut is difficult to understand the Chinese situation
without knowing the structure of the Chinese army
The makeup and the methods of the military forces
operating in the various parts of China do not at
all correspond to what we understand by modern
army. In the matter of army organization the Chi
nese army reminds one of the hordes commanded by
Slav princes in prehistoric times The Chinese gen

A REPORT ON CHINA

AT the executive meeting July 28th paper was
II read by Comrade Losovsky on the character and
outlook of the revolutionary movement in China.
Comrade Losovsky pointed out that the counter
revolution had already virtually engulfed the whole
of China. Of course, the differences between the
Picking, Marking and Wuhan generals and their
respective civil political advisers had not entirely
been composed. Nevertheless, the fact there
that Wuhan had ceased to be a revolutionary CEN
ire that the power of authority had passed into the
hands of the miltarists, and the workers and peas
ants organizations had been destroyed.
How had the Wuhan revolutionary government
descended to such stage to sanction the military
coup detat and to allow the destruction of those ele
ments which had carried it into office?
while in Wuhan," Comrade Losoysky said, II
frequently heard the statement made by prominent
Kuomntang leaders, and even by some Communists,
that China had bourgeoisie of her own, that the
entire big bourgeoisie consisted of foreigners This
seemingly innocent theory furnishes the key to an
understanding of the position of the left wing of
the Kuomintang. For, if the whole big bourgeoise
consists of foreign imperialists, and the Kuonin-
tang fights only the foreign imperialists, then the
ranks of the Kuomintang should be open to all the
elements of the native Chinese bourgeoisie and the
Kuomintang organization should protect the inter-
ests of all the bourgeoisie groups Of course, this
theory has no foundation whatever in the actual
facts. There considerable and influential ele-
ments of purely Chinese big bourgeoisie, who own
important industrial, transport and commercial
terprlseS. TINS bourgeosle is endeavor1ng all the
time to make of the antagonistic currents which
spring up in the process of development of the
Chinese revolution.
GAS the national armies continued their advance
northwards and approached the important industrial
centres the struggle between the classes, which the
Kuomintang leaders had been trying to direct into
the channels of legal industrial arbitration and tame
organizations of the peasantry began to brea8 out
on the surface. The clash of interests within the
united front of the Kuomintang became revealed
as soon as the national army came within sight of
Shanghai We have also witnessed the intensified

IN the eve of the Third Annual Conference a brief
review of some of the campaigns conducted by
international Labor Defense in the past year or so
will show that while they have been of a variegated
nature covering every field and section of the labor
movement there has at the same time been
unifying thread that has connected one task with
the other in logical harmony with the work OF
creating a mighty instrument of struggle and de-
Tense fer the American working class.
The work of the past period that oyershadowed
all else was the mobilization of a worldwide move
ment for the release of Sacco and Vanzett. The
international Labor Defense the organizing
center for the protest movement in this case The
l. L. d. does not believe in combining defense work
the tortuous and corrupted channels OF the court
rooms. 1t the I. L. D. and the militant workers
everywhere that succeeded in taking the cause of
Sacco and Vanzett out of the poisonous atmosphere
of the courts, and raising it as banner to rally
angry determined armies of the people in every part
of the world. Almost at one blSW, in swerving the
course of the movement from the hopeless, drab
channels of the vindictve machinery of class law,
into the vivid, tumutous torrents of the move
ment, the legal red tape that bound Sacco and Van
zetti like Prometheus cut like the Gordian knot.
The case of Sacco and Vanzett transformed
from claw suit" into burning issue of the class
struggle.
Hundreds of mass meetings were arranged by the
/. L. D. for Sacco and Vanzetti. The country
flooded with leaflets and special issues of its official
organ, "The Labor Defender" Hardly demonstra-
ton or gathering OF workers for Sacco and NanZett1
occurred without the striking poster of the l. L. D.,
drawn by Fred Ellis, having its place at the head
of it. The Sacco Vanzeti united front conferences
organized throughout the country, which embraced
hundreds of thousands of organized American work
ers formed in almost every upon the
initiative and with the energy and experience of
the I. L. D. The magnificent international move
ment of solidarity, which pounded with sedge-ham-
blows upon the prison doors until the very last
moment was greatly aided by the l. L. D. which
appealed by cable to the sections in various countries
and to the executive committee of International Red
Aid for renewed support to the protest movement.
At the of all the work of the l. L. D. has been
the belief that only in the creation of powerful
movement of the workers, non-partisan basis,
but pursuing class policy lies the safeguard for

The international Labor Defense In Action

test sent the capitalist eXecuoners of that country
that the progressive workers of America demanded
an end to the reign of terror in those lands
The I L. D. has been able in large measure to
coordinate and centralize the work of legal defense
for workers in this country. Thousands Of dollars
have been spent in the past year for legal defense
in the Of large and small cases that have come
up in court. Every strike and action of the workers
has resulted in arrests indictments, which the
/. L. d. spared to fight. In many cases
the prompt and proper action Of the l. L. d. has
been the of releasing the arrested worker
and enabling him to resume his place on the firing
line.
Not the least important work of the I. L. D. has
been it's policy of sending regular monthly checks
for five dollars to all imprisoned class war fighters
1t means great deal to the men in prison to know
of the movement and interest among the workers on
the outside and to be able to purchase these little
comforts-fruits, candies, cigarettes and tobacco
that they otherwise denied by their iailors.
Equally important has been the contribution sent
to the dependent families of imprisoned workers
The twenty dollars they receive every month from
the I, L. d. is of considerable aid in relieving the
hardships of the mothers, wives and children of
these soldiers of labor who have sacrificed their
freedom for their devotion to the movement of
the working class.
The popularity of, the |. L. D. has grown through
out the country, steadily. since it's organization in
1925 1t is yet small and weak in comparison with
it's gigantic tasks. But it is MISUNDERSTANDING
ment of solidarity which draws larger bodies
of workers into its fighting ranks The coming
ference will mark new stage in this development
and give new impetus to its work.
Every struggle brings with it victims of
class persecution and justice. The frame-up system
does its work with the cold-blooded regularity of
juggernaught, The /. l.. D. has thus far proved
dozen times its value to the working class and
the labor movement by its militant class fight for
labor defense. The signs of coming great struggles,
which are already now apparent, also harbingers
of greater battles that will be fought in the move
ment of labor defense, the movement of the great
solidarity The work that the I. L. d. has already
accomplished permits one to say that it will be
found in the of the struggle shield of the
working class.

the successful conduct and conclusion of all its ac-
tivities This belief has characterized all the work
of the International Labor Defense
The work of building a movement for Sacco and
Vanzetti not, of course, the beginning and end
of the activities of the l. L. D. Literally dozens of
other workers and fighters have in the past year
been defended, always on non-partisan basis. The
list includes and women arrested in all parts
of the country belonging to different parties and
organizations and holding various views, and VIC
TINS of capitalist persecution in other countries
There is the fight against the continued persecu-
tions of the Passaic textile strikers who being
victimized because of the struggle they carried
for almost year against the mill barons. Many of
them have been imprisoned already, on framed-up
charges, and indictments still hang the heads
of numerous others. Most of the dependent families
are in a destitute condition and the financial aid
that the /. L. D. sends to them every month is
real material aid to them and spiritual support
to the strikers in prison.
The fight carried on by International Labor De-
tense against the deportation to Italy of Enea Sor
menti one of the foremost working class opponents
in this country of fascism probably saved him from
Imprisonment death at the hands of the black
shirts. Through efforts Sorment permitted
to depart for whatever other country he desired
Sormenti is not the only foreign-born worker
against whose deportation the I. L. D. has fought.
With the same vigor it opposed the deportation of
the three anarchist workers in Fall River Massachu-
setts and the Czecho-Slovak workers leader, Eman-
uel Vajtauer. At this moment, it is conducting the
defense of Stephen Zinich, South Slav Communist
editor, who is being held for deportation by the
authorities.
The I. L. D. has not been lacking in the fufillment
of it's international obligations. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that the campaign of l. L. d. success
fully destroyed the value of Bloody Queen Marie's
tour and brought to the attention of thousands of
American workers the frghtful terror against work
ers and peasants in Roumania. The new wave of
persecution in Poland and Esthonia was exposed in
the United States by the I. L. D. and warning pro-

ton of the class struggle the territory of Human
and Hupei. The April split in the Kuomntang party
and the treachery of Chang Kai-shek did not arise
from a dispute platforms and programs, but
the pretended campaign of ousting foreign in
fuences" of having Borodin and other counselors
removed. Chang Kai-shek gained thereby credit
not only in the eyes of the big bourgeosie but also
in the eyes of the Nationalist sympathizers among
the petty bourgeoisie. His words about Borodin
the foreigner being obstacle to the success of the
revolution had their effect. One must also bear in
mind that the split sought also by the i'm
periasts who acted through their armed forces and
their diplomats. Two conditions had been put to
Chang Kai-shek by English, American and Japan
ese diplomacy: rupture with USSR and rupture
with the Communists, promising him in return
whole series of economic and financial favors This
was the line chosen by Chang Kai-shek, who began
by breaking with the Communists whilst hostility
towards the USSR came as automatic sequence.
'"The split in the. Kuomintang party and the for
nation of two governments-that of Marking and
that of Wuhan-proved source of great friction
within the Kuomintang ranks which grew in direct
ratio to the growth of the workers. and particularly
of the peasants movement in Hupei and Human A
good deal was written about the objective circum-
stances which drove the peasants to take to fight
ing Mention ought to be made, however, of the
particular features which render the peasant move
ment so exceedingly intense. These features
sst first of ALL in the exceptional density of the
population in the provinces of Human and Hupe
which affords good facilities for united action. An
other characteristic feature consists in the unique
cohabitaton of twentieth century social relations
and tenth century survvals in present-day China, a
mixture of capitalism and feudalism. There is a
whole number of localities where there in
dustria workers at ALL and the leading role belongs
exclusively to the peasants organizations. Yet the
actions of the peasants bear the stamp of organza
ton and of political consciousness.
