Do you want to know the Chi
nese situation? To understand the
forces moving back of the con-
fusion of warning generals. and the
real revolutionary movements TAX
ing shape? You must understand
the peasant question in China.
Most of what is written about the
land workers of China in the Amer
lean press and in books of travel
is false and misleading. Earl
Browder, secretary of the Pacific
Labor Unions Congress, just re-
turned from extensive travels in
China, is writing for The DAILY
WORKER a series of articles, of
which the first ones are on land
ownership, peasant life and peas
ant organizations in China. The
first one Monday: LAND OWN
ERSHIP IN CHINA.

Owe expected It'll"

we expected 1t!'
That was the only comment Of
Mrs. Sacco, of Miss Vanzetti, of
other members of the committee,
as the news came from Boston,
even as the great "Aquitania"
locked, that the state supreme
court of Massachusetts had de-
clared that, "Sacco and Vanzetti
Must Die!"
At the same time they were all
eager to learn Of the development
of and the response of the workers
to the strike plans in New York
City and elsewhere.
'My father did not want me to
come" said Miss Vanzetti.
The father had been in America"
40 years ago and had felt the per-
secution of this nations ruling class
against workers.
The father had returned to Italy.
Today the daughter returns again
to this country to fight this same
capitalist class persecution that
now has Sacco and Vanzetti in its
grasp, trying to put them to death.
She has had trouble in coming.
She left Italy with a passport bear
ing an Italian visa, but for some
reasons with which she was not
made acquainted, the officials of
the Volendam, the big liner of the
neutrality-suspicious. line, would not
accept her as passenger from
Boulougne-sur- Mer, France, after
she had missed one ship from Cen
GA. She finally secured passage on
the "Aquitania," but only at great
expense, as a result of the delay.
But between the departure of the
Volendam and the Aquitania she
was the center of huge demonstra-
tons held by the workers of France
against the murder of Sacco and
Vanzetti.
1t must be that LUCIA Vanzetti
comes as the symbol of the unity of
protest of the workers of Europe
and the United States against this
murder plot Of the American capt
talist reaction.
The mere presence in this country
of the sister of Vanzetti should help
spur every worker to renewed pro-
test--the giant protest that will
cheat the electric chair of its VIC
Tins, that will restore Sacco and
Vanzetti to the workers of America
and of the world
