KELLOGG APPEALS
FOR REXEMPT OF
SHANGHAI IN WAR
Proposal Sent to War Lords
Intended to Protect All
Foreigners in City.
BATTLE STILL RAGING
WITH CANTONESE FOES
British Continue Preparations to
Land Troops-American Women
Urged to Leave.

By the Associated Press
Exemption of the Shanghai inter
national settlement from the theater
of hostilities in the Chinese civil war
has been proposed to the Cantonese
and Peking authorities by the United
States.
The proposal has been sent to
American Minister MacMurray for
transmission to the Northern ana
Southern war lords. No word has been
received from him.
The Shanghai area is now controlled
by the forces of Sun Chuan Fang. the
provincial governor and allied with
Chang Hso-Lin. Whether the Kellogg
proposal involves withdrawal of those
forces from the immediate vicinity
of Shanghai could not be learned.
Protection of Americans.
The American effort to remove the
danger to all foreigners at Shangnai
undoubtedly is due to the increasing
military activity in Chekiang prov
ince, some hundred miles or so south
and west of Shanghai.
The State Department refused 10
disclose details of the project which
it has formulated for protection OF
American and other foreign nationals
in Shanghai. 1t was said at the de.
partment, however, that the proposal
is not for naturalization of the
Shanghai area, but merely for the ex-
emption of that area from hostiiitles
between the two Chinese factions.

Death to Gringgoes''
Book Is PrObed by
President Gales

by the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, February .
President Gales has instructed the
federal district government to in
vestigate the nature of a booklet
denouncing the so-called 'impe-
rialism of the United States"
which is being advertised under the
title, Death to the Gringoes." II
the booklet is found to be objec-
tionable, the President has ruled. it
must not circulate.
Posters with the headline, Death
to the Gringoes," appeared on bill
boards in Mexico City yesterday,
only to be torn down by the police.
The posters We're intended to ad-
vertise the booklet, but their text
showed nothing to support the
startling headline and made no ap-
peal for attacks against Alneri-
cans.

to Drive
Paris Smoke Away
Sought in Contest


PARIS, February 5.-Paris Is
struggling with smoke problem.
Thirty years ago a decree gave the
capital six months to get rid OF OBJ
jectionable smoke, but it remained.
A police order of yesteryear in"
formed the public there would be no
trouble finding effective smoke-con-
suming devices: the authorities now
know better and have organized a
competition for an invention to
take the dirt out of chimneys.
Many factors make smoke more
of a problem here tlIan in the
United States. People suffer more
from it because there is less sci
entific ventilation; buildings are
more ornate, thereby catching more
dirt, and there are more statues in
the streets.

BRITISH POLICY UNCHANGED.
Adequate Force to Be Landed i'm
Shanghai, Says London.

LONDON. February 5 (P).-Great
Britain has no intention, for the pres
ent at least. of retreating from its
decision to land an adequate force
of troops at Shanghai to defend
British nationals in case of outbreaks
against foreigners.
This was indicated after lengthy
deliberations by the cabinet ministers
AS though to emphasize the Govern
ment's determination to be prepared
for eventualities at Shanghai, the for
eign Office denied that a proposal had
been made to Eugene Chen, the Can
tonese foreign minister, to divert to
Hongkong the transports now con.
verging on Shanghai. Such an offer
was reported to have been sent to
Chen in answer to his stand that he
would sign no agreement unless the
British withdrew their Shanghai de-
fense force.
Another Phase Disclosed.
Another phase of the suspended ne
gotiations between Chen and the Brit
ish representative at Hankow, Owen
O'Malley, is brought out by the con-
tention of the Cantonese foreign min
lister that Great Britain, in discussing
with other Chinese authorities modi-
f1cations in the status of British con-
cessions, is treating with those who
DO not represent nationalist China. In
this connection, the British govern
ment has expressed the view that
there is a readiness both by North
and South China to enter into nego-
tiations on the basis of the British
offer, but one side is jealous of the
other.

tonese government, Is again charged
with instigating the decisions of Chen

OrganizatiOnal
Problems
By ARNE SWABECK.
CHAPTER VIII.
Duties of Leading Committees.

While contact with the working
masses is a prerequisite for leader
ship by the Communist Party itself,
the same holds true, and perhaps
more so, within the Party. The lead
ing committees must therefore estab-
lish the closest possible contact with
the lower units. The function of local
executive committees consist of more
than merely to run entertainments
now and then or to arrange meet
ings. Practical experiences have
shown, with sufficient clarity, that
unless such committees actually
guide the local units in application of
Party policies, in directing local cam
paigns and local activities, the Par
ty as whole will not function prop
erly.
1t is therefore imperative that
these executive committees thorough
ly systematic their own work and
coordinate the activities of the lower
units within their territory. Mere
sporadic work will not do but the
persistent hammering away togeth-
er with our members always being
in the front ranks Of the class strug-
gle will help to establish Party lead
ership in the working class move
ment. To properly systematic it's
work, these committees should first
of all be departmentalized.
A local executive, section or sub
section executive committee should
in all cases have the following de-
partments:
Organization Department.
Trade Union Department.
Agit-Prop Department.
The function of the Organization
Department should not merely be the
technical transfer of comrades from
one nucleus to another. 1t should
rather be one of constant building of
the lower units thru organizational
measures. This department should
watch the organizational function of
the lower units and their executive
