and to serve the working-class, in
stead of climbing out upon its face
and founding a line of parasitesl
You saw those young Communists
in class-rooms, on athletic fields,
in the streets-marching, singing,
listening to speeches-Paul himself
had talked to tens of thousands,
in his little bit of Russian. and
nothing had ever meant so much to
him. He had but one interest for
the rest of his life, to tell the young
workers of America about the young
workers of Russia. He began by
telling Bunny!
He talked about the councils he
had attended, the international
gatherings where the future of the
parties all over the world was
charted out. Bunny of course made
his protest against this. Did Paul
really think it was possible for an
American political party to have
it's course determined in a foreign
country? Paul smiled and said it
was hard enough the Russian
leaders couldn't understand how far
back in history America stood. But
what else could you do? Either
you meant to have world order, or
you couldn't? If you left the party
in each country to determine its
own course, you were right back
where you were before the war,
with men calling themselves Social
lists, and holding power in the
name of Socialism, who were in
reality patriots, ready to back the
exploiters of their own land in wars
against the exploiters of other lands.
That was the thing which threat
ened to destroy the human race:
and the only way to end it was to
do what the Third International
was doing-have a world govern
ment and enforce its orders. The
workers world government was 10
Gated in Moscow, because elsewhere
the delegates would be thrown into

Third International would hold a
Congress in Berlin, and then in
Paris and London, and in the end
in New York. The workers of the
world would send their representa-
tives, and that Congress would give
its orders. and the nations would
stop their fighting, just you bet!
Thus Paul and Bunny, as usual,
were swept along upon a wave Of
enthusiasm.

He tore it open and read: Dear

and would you like to meet me?

Bunny was twenty-four years old
now, but it was just the way it had
been eleven years ago, there in

had left his father and run shout

and the Duchesse de That. Then
Bunny hurried off to the obscure
hotel where his friend was staying.
Paul was haggard; one does not
take trip to Moscow to get fat.
But his sober face was shining
with light Of fanaticism - the
same thing which his brother Eli
called the glory of the Lord Dad

and master of the future. So now
in this dingy hotel room Bunny was
sitting opposite an apostle; Paul,
with his sombre, determined fea-
lures and toil-accustomed figure,
the very incarnation of the mill

And the miracles of which he had
to tell were real. First of all a
spiritual miracle-a hundred mill

sovereignty, and the downfall of
masters and exploiters. kings,
nriests, capitalists, the whole rab-

miracle, too, because these hundred
million people controlled one-sixth

building a new civilization, a mod

amazed were the house Swners and

of building these streets and contrib

property toward the improvement.
Trade Unions Encouraged.
The beginning Of an adequate
sewer system, which had been started
the previous year, were carried for
ward. Efficient STRENGTHENING work
was carried on. The health of the
city was greatly improved.
Education was pushed, particularly
in the elementary forms. Political
education of the masses in the aims
and purposes of the nationalist move
.ment was carried on everywhere. La
Dor organization was encouraged.
The events in the North in the
early part of the year, when a So
called alliance" between the former
arch enemies, Chang Tso-lin and WI
Pei-fu, succeeded in eliminating the
Kuominchun forces from Peking and
finally, in the late summer, out of
their stronghold in the Northwest
these events had a natural repercus-
sion in Canton. WI Pei-fu had
breathed threats of bringing the war
into Kuangtung as soon as he had
defeated the Kuominchun in Chilli.
When he first made pronouncements
about these intentions, there seemed
some possibility that the tuchuns and
super-tuchuns might hold together
long enough to make the beginnings,
at least, of such an anti-South cam
paign So the natural result was pre-
paration on a grand scale for a north
ern expedition by the revolutionary
nationalist forces, to defend their own
territory in the south by an offensive
campaign against the north.
This campaign started in July.
Within a period so short as to create
nothing short of amazement on the
Lart of even foreign military observ-
ers, the nationalist troops had sue
ceeded in rolling through Human
Province and bestriding the Yangtze
at the Wuhan area, which comprises
the cities Of Kankow, Wuchang and
Hanyang, the latter with its great
arsenal.
Control the Central Yangtze.
This put the revolutionary nation
alist forces practically in control Of
the central Yangtze, the heart Of
commercial China, the reservoir OF
her financial and numerical strength.
WI Pei-fu was forced to evacuate
Hankow. He moved far north into
Honan Province, making his head
quarters at Chengchow, where he now
sits amidst the ruins Of slowly-dis
migrating organization. There is
not a single one of his so-caIied ad
herent generals whose loyalty he can
vouch for. To a greater extent than
may at first seem apparent, WI Pei
fu's debacle and the Reorganization
of his forces represent the disintegra
ton of medieval Chinese ideas and
methods before the fresh, clean air
Of the modernized and progressive
ideas and methods.
The nationalist armies now con-
trolled Hupeh and Human, as well as
Kuangtang and Kuangsi. Sun Chaun-
fang, after much hesitation, threw in
his lot with the already defeated WI
Pei-fu and offered battle against the
nationalist armies. The result wa

Kiangsi, which made safe the nation-
alists line Of communication from its
farthest outposts in southern Human
to its revolutionary base in Kunag
tung. Meanwhile another nationalist
expedition into Fullien wrested that
province from Suns grasp, while part
of the forces on the Yangtze were
used to take possession of part Of
Anhwei and also part of Chakiang
Province, which also had been part
of the self-acclaimed domain of the
Five Provinces Director" title Sun
Chaung-fang had for year or more
claimed.
Popular Support.
An outstanding difference between
the campaign of the Nationalist forces
and those of any other fighting units
in China was that it had universal
popular support. Many of its inciden-
tai victories were made possible by
the direct help of the peasants who,
in some instances, guided the van
guard forces of the nationalists along
the easiest routes against particular
strongholds of Sun Chuan-fang. The
capture of Kiu-kiang was a notable
instance of this. Everywhere, also
when the nationalist troops arrived,
they were given every evidence of
wholehearted welcome. They were re-
garded not as an exploiting army, but
as liberating army.
As the year neared it's close, the
situation in the north also began show
ing signs of hopefulness. Fong Yu-
hsiang and his Kouminchun forces,
which had been forced into the far
northwest Of Kansu, had reorganized;
by the end of November they had sue
ceeded in sweeping down through
Shensi province and entering western
Honan. There was every prospect
that they would succeed early this
year in 'effecting juncture with the
nationalist troops already in the
southern portion Of that province.
The year 1927 opens, therefore,
with the nationalist government
moved nearly thousand miles north
Of Canton and astride the Yangtze.
1t is now in full control of Kuang-
tung, Kuangsi, Fukien, Human, Kwei-
chow, Hupeh and Kiangsi provinces,
with partial control of Chekiang and
Anhwei provinces, and with every
prospect of control in Honan province
within a short time.
Since Feng Yu-hsiang had, during
the summer, definitely joined forces
with the Koumintang by becoming a
member of the party and by inviting
political instructors for the education
Of his men, the territory he'now con-
trolls is also part of the territory I'M
der nationalist domination. 1t includes
all Kansu and the northwest special
areas, all of Shensi and part of Honan.
There is also a direct liaison be-
tween the Koumintang in Mongolia
and the nationalist forces, so that
vast territory is also part Of the ma
tionalist domain.
The year just passed has been one
Of historically outstanding Importance
in the fifteen-year-old plan of the late
DR.. Sun Yat-sen for the unification
Of the land under the aegis Of the
Koumintang and its popular princi-
pies. There is some reason to believe
that the year just opening may see
the first steps in the Chinese eman-
cipator's dream finally fulfilled.

Facing the Year 1927 in China

HANhOW, Jan. A. by mall) -
Profound changes in the general
Chinese situation, both domesticaily
and so far as the position of China
and the world is concerned, are APP
parent to political observers here at
the beginning of 1927. Accounts are
beginning to be cast Of the historic
events of 1925, and it is generally
conceded that situation exists now
which is greatly different from that
obtaining at the beginning of 1926.
At the dawning of the year which
has now closed, the position of what
might be called the modern progress
sives of Chinese politics-the Kuo-
mintang nationalists of Canton and,
to a considerable extent, the Kuomin-
chun armies of Feng Yu-hsiang !
were better in the North than they
are now, but not nearly so good In
the South as they are now.
The Kuomintang had their house
cleaning during 1925 and were well
started on their way toward the cree
tion of a modern and progressive
government in Canton and turnout
Kuangtung Province. They held auth
GRITTY, however, only over Kuangtung
and Kuangai Provinces, the Lang
lxuang territory as it is generally
known. -
Kuomintang FORCES Ahead.
In the north, Feng Yu-hsiang and
his progressive subordinates were in
control at Picking. But no direct
liaisony even of policies, had been
worked out between these two mod
ern arms of China.
During the year the Kuomintang
forged steadily ahead in their prog
ressive work of undermining the gov
eminent of their home province of
Kuangtung. The last of the reac-
tionaries had been swept out, the
army was busy exterminating BAN
dts, life was being made safe for the
peasantry, recognized as the basis OF
the body polite turnout China.
Meanwhile a thoroly modern fl
nance system, under Finance Minister
T. V. Soong, was being put into eff
feet. Squeeze" and corruption OF
all kinds was eliminated. Honest tax
collection officers were everywhere
appointed. The treasury at Canton
actually got the money its mandates
ordered to be collected in the way of
Legitimate and scientific taxation--a
condition that has perhaps never be-
fore been achieved in any Chinese
province. This system became so eff
ficient that the year 1926 saw a sum
approximating one hundred million
dollars gathered into the nationalist
treasury. The highest amount of
revenue ever before collected in the
province had been S31, 100000, in
1921. In 1924 it had fallen as low
as $9,300,000.
Also meanwhile, as normal phase

ressive government, road projects
