Chinese STUDENT
CONFERENCE PUTS
REv()L TONAGE:NDA
Also Invites Browder
and Gomez to Address

MADISON, Wise, Sept. THE
Mid Western Section of the Chinese
Students Alliance in the U. S. A..
opened it's Eighteenth Annual Con-
ference here today, with as chief
items on it's agenda the subjects,
''The Abrogation Of China's Unequal
Treaties" and the relationship be-
tween nationalism and Communism in
China.
In answer to an invitation from the
alliance thru T. C. Ii, it's secretary Of
program committee, to address their
conference on "any phase of the gem
eral topic, "The Chinese Revolution"
Earl Browder, recently returned from
China, sent Secretary Ii the follow
ing telegram:
please extend the Chinese Stu
dents Alliance my fraternal greet
ings and best wishes for successful
work. / deeply regret that the con-
vention of the Workers (Communist)
Party prevents me from accepting
your kind invitation.
'<The Chinese revolution today is
the pivot of world political develop
ments. The revolution must proceed
to drastic solution of its fundamen-
tai problems; particularly the land
must be given to those who work it,
''The recent turn of Wuhan policy
towards suppression of mass move
ments constitutes a most serious
threat against a successful revolution.
The courageous statement of Nine.
Sun Yat-sen denouncing the Wuhan
governments policy as surrender
to Chang Kai-shekism points a prop
er line which has been endorsed by
the central committee Of the Kuomin-
tang in America. 1t is my sincere
hope that this line, supporting the
workers and peasants, which is the
policy of Sun Yat-sen, will receive
the unanimous support of the Chinese
Students Alliance.
with warmest greetings, EARL
BROWDER."
The conference expects the attend
ance of Manuel Gomez, secretary of
the Alf-Hmerica Anti-Imperialist
League, who has been invited to
address it. Gomez was delegate to
the Brussels anti-imperialist congress
several months ago, at which repre-
sentatives of the Kuomintang took a
very prominent part.
The convention will last several
days, and will be addressed by many
speakers, both Chinese and Western.
Practically all the Chinese students
in America belong to the alliance.

HOrthy's Hangmen
Jail ESQ in Raid;
Torture Workers

BUDAPEST, Sept. Tn a new
outburst of white terrorism, the
Horthy dictatorship has seized $50
workers on charges of carrying on
red propaganda. The arrests are the
result of a series of raids of which
the police threaten more. The pris-
oners, who have been thrown into
dungeons and torture chambers, are
being submitted to the most fearful
punishments in an effort to make
them incriminate themselves and
others. The complete absence of
proof against their victims and the
necessity for discriminating evidence
in order to make case has raised
the cruelty of the terrorists to an
unheard of fury. The Horthy dicta-
torship which, though supported by
the fascist hordes of Mussolini, feels
itself less and less secure after seven
years of frightful barbarism against
the workers, is using every means
to exterminate the progressive ele-
ments among the Hungarian working
class.

MOSCOW (By Nail The protest
movement in many towns of the
Soviet Union against the execution
of Sacco and Vanzetti has been a
mighty demonstration of the interna-
tional solidarity of the proletariat and
an impressive proclamation of faith
fitness to, the Comintern and. C. P.
S. U.
Meetings were again held in Mos
cow, Leningrad and other cities, at
which the speakers denounced the
monstrous. treachery of the bourge-
ois aKecutioners, and called upon the
workers to join the International Red
Aid to work with greater energy in
it's ranks, and to take part in the
efforts for the defence Of the Soviet
Union.
The resolutions passed were given
the power of decisions and empha-
sized these slogans. Every works
and factory found it's own words Of
condemnation for the murderers, and
it's own words of appeal to the work
ers of the whole world to raise a
fresh storm of protest, to close their
ranks beneath the banner of the Com
intern, and to fight against the social
traitors of every political shade and
tendency who have done nothing to
save Sacco and Vanzetti from the
clutches of their masters.

Pravda Analyses.
The "Pravda" writes as follows on
the execution Of Sacco and Vanzetti:
With sadistic cruelty, possible
only to degenerated class, Sacco and
Vanzetti have been kept in prison
for seven years in constant expecta-
ton of the torture of the electric
chair. Sacco and Vanzetti held an
archist views. But nothing confutes
their theories so completely as their
own fate. The revolutionary move
nlent, actually threatening capitalism,
eliminated neither in an anarchist

individual terror, nor in a passive

refusal to have anything to do with
the state" but in an unwearying
struggle of the proletariat to gain
possession of power.
The political significance of the
Sacco and Vanzetti affair, and the
political import of the struggle OF
the workers in this special case, will
not be recognized by those who fail
to identify this execution of two
American workers with international
reaction with the present period OF
reactionary offensive against the pro-
letariat, against the first workers
state and against the Chinese revo-
luton. The conclusion to be drawn
from this is that the Indignation of
the proletariat must not only be ex-
pressed in declarations on the "in-
justice" and "lack of obiectivity" of
the American courts of justice. The
indignation of the proletariat must
be guided into the path of the really
proletarian struggle against the
principles of capitalist rule.
Sacco and Vanzetti are not the
first martyrs in the cause of the
proletariat, nor will they be the last

ror.
Preparedness for the fight against
this terror means the, maintenance OF
the unimpaired unity of the interna-
tional proletariat on the basis of the
struggle against the offensive Of
capital, against the war danger, anC
against the treachery of the leader,
of the rotting Amsterdam and Seconc
Internationals. The insolent cruelty
of the bourgeoisie cannot be crushed
so long as the forces of the interna,
tional proletariat are scattered, anc
SO long as the workers are led by
the middlemen and lackeys of the
bourgeoisie, who have not taken one
single definite step towards the re.
lease of Sacco and Vanzetti, but
raise loud lament if the Soviet
Union deals blow at the white
guards in self defence.
The proletariat of the Soviet
Union has vanquished the bourge-
oisie in bloody battle, and knows
from experience what bourgeois ter
ror is, especially when the bourge-
oisie gives way to brute rage. The
proletariat of the Soviet Union feels
the approach of the tempest of i'm
perialist war, and it recognizes in
this execution one link in the chain
of the offensive of international
capital, one more insolent derision of

3tions. Collective agreements as a
method of regulating working con-
ditions and wages are continuously
developing and affecting larger
groups of workers.
Whereas in January 1926, 6,700,000
workers were affected by collective
agreements, at the end of 1926 the
number Of workers was already T.
$4,000. Thus 100000 additional
workers or an increase of 16 percent
were brought within the scope of col
lective agreements in the course OF
one year.
The number of additional workers
affected by collective agreements has
increased both absolutely and rela-
lively.
In Januar 1926 81 percent of the
workers were affected by collective

Kiev Workers Protest.
The resolutions passed by the
proletariat of Kiev declare that the
execution of Sacco and Vanzetti
strikes the first note of the coming
memorable struggle of the working
class against that bourgeoisie which
has committed this unheard of crime,
this deed of blacklist infamy. 1--WE
shall never forget the night of the %
of August"
The Executive Committee of the
IRA and the Executive Bureau of the
RILU publish appeals to the interna-
tional proletariat. The appeal of the
RILU points out that whilst the lead
ers of reformism, under the pressure
of the masses, entered protests
against the execution Of Sacco and
Vanzetti, this action was not energet-
ie enough, and it's actual effect was
to hinder and hold back the sponta-
neous movement against the blood
thirsty American bourgeoisie.
The Executive Bureau of the RILU
calls for protest against the muir
der of Sacco and Vanzetti, and for
preparation for the decisive battle
against the accursed bourgeois order.
The Academy of Science held an
extraordinary meeting, at which a
/ protest resolution was passed ex-
pressing indignation at the execution,
and full agreement with those who
are fighting against all elements at
tempting to substitute real freedom
by phrases about freedom.
The chairman of the American
workers delegation at present in
Moscow, James Maurer, declared to
representatives of the press that the
delegation, like the millions of work
ers all over the world, is completely
convinced of the innocence of Sacco
and Vanzetti. Their execution is a
crime, ruthless act of class venge-
ance on the part of the American
bourgeoisie. The proletariat of all
countries, and in the first place the
proletariat of America, have received
a memorable lesson. And the words
of this lesson are: proletarians, or
ganize yourselves for the fight and
for the victory!

MOSCOW WORKERS
GREET NINE, sun
AND EUGENE CHEN
Spokesman for U.S.SR.
Hail Chinese Masses

MOSCOW, Sept. Mime. Sun Yat-
sen and Eugene Chen, former foreign
minister of the Wuhan government re-
ceived an enthusiastic reception when
they arrived here today. They were
met at the station by numerous dele
cations of the Chinese community,
students of Sun Yat--sen University
of Moscow, representatives Of the
Peoples Foreign Commissariat and
hundreds of worlingmen and women.
Wang Tso-ping, speaking in the
name of the Chinese Moscow COM
munity declared:
DenOunce Traditions.
"Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yu-hsiang
and other traitors are trying to cover
their actions by the teachings of the
great Chinese revolutionary, Sun Vat
sen. We with our class feeling are
convinced that if Sun Yat-sen We're
living such renegades would not dare
use his name for their own adven-
turous ends.
"We Chinese who have been living
/ several years in the Soviet Union feel
ourselves full-righted members Of the
toiling masses of the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics, and therefore
we realize why Sun Yat-sen so pro-
foundry believed in the friendship
with the first Workers and Peasants
state in the world. We are convinced
that the Communist Party is the true
vanguard Of the toiling masses and
for that reason has been able to con-
quer external and internal revolution
and has led the Soviet Union to the
victory which it viii celebrate with
the world proletariat at its tenth an
niversary."
Popov, representative Of the Mos
t~cow Soviet, declared:
"The workers of the Soviet Union
who have been closely following the
development of the Chinese revolution
believe that in spite of the temporary
defeat the true revolutionists of China
will be triumphant"
The women workers of the Native
yeva mill greeted the Chinese revolu-
tionary women thru Nine. Sun Vat
sen who are following the path of the
Russian women.
Nine. Sen Greets Russian Workers.
Sun Yat-sen's widow published in
the press the following greeting to the
proletariat of the U.S.S.E.:
"The left Kuomintang is revolu-
tionary organization struggling for
the toilers of China from the yoke of
foreign imperialism and internal ex-
ploiters. 1t speaks on behalf of mill
lions of oppressed masses which from
our own midst produce a cadres of
true revolutionaries fighting for tbs
establishment Of the power Of the
working class in China"
In greeting to the proletariat OF
the Soviet Union by Nine Sun on be-
half of the revolutionary masses of
China she declares "the bonds uniting
us Chinese revolutionaries with our
revolutionary brethren of the U.S.S.R.
are indissoluble."
Betrayal Of Generals.
''The betrayals Of the generals" it
continued, under cover Of the name
of the Kuomintang and false leaders Z
cannot break our fighting union. I
am happy that l can personally con-
vey to the first victorious proletariat
Of the world the deepest gratitude of
the Chinese toilers for the sympathy
and support which it rendered and is
rendering to the Chinese revolution.
"Long live the revolutionary union
Of the prolctariat of the US.S.R. and
