from Wuhan, and falsely accused our
party of being red Be it noted that
Chang is also one of our members,
and it is absurd to think that he could
tell such falsehood in the manner
of Chang Tso-lin and Chang Chung
chang. He does this for no other pur-
pose than offering the imperialists
and militarists demonstration that
he is prepared, for his own selfish in
terest, to surrender to them under the
false banner of anti-Bolshevism
"These are only few Of Chiang's
crimes which we choose to point out.
By no means are they the only ones
he has perpetrated. On behalf of the
interests of the people, the party has
started the revolution. It is to be
regretted that the wrong choice of
military commander has led to such
difficulties. The comrades of the par
ty, prompted by the spirit Of leniency,
have again and again, for the sake
of saving the situation, overlooked,
though reluctantly, many irregulari-
ties. The point is now reached where
it is no longer possible for us to be
fore-bearing. A survey of Chiang's
acts will reveal the fact that he is an
extreme anti-revolutionary. What
Chang Tso-lin and Chang Chung
chang dared not, he had dared with
out hesitancy. 1t is he who cuts him
self from the party and from the peo-
pie. 1t is he who Of his own free
will has chosen the place Of the new
militarist. We have been talking
about overthrowing the militarists yet
another new militarist whose cruelty
far surpasses his predecessor. follows
on the heels of the ones brought down.
1t is misfortune for the party to
have such a rebel How can we face
the people and fulfill their expecta-
tions if we fail to exercise the strict
est party discipline at this juneture
and allowed the perpetuation of
reign of terror. 1t is hoped that the
people will understand to what extent
Chang has sunk in crime, and why
it is necessary for the party to take
such drastic measures to punish him.
Let every one rise and join in the con-
demnation, so that no one would dare
and repeat Chiang's deeds!
"The success of. the revolution de-
ponds on the solidarity of the people,
and their ability to carry on a Wig
orous war While it is true that mill
tary force is ore Of the most impor-
tant weapons, it is more true that a
victory can only be a true one when
it is won by the people by their own
solidarity and yalor In this sense
also do we desire to inform the peo-
pie"

drop in February to 766, 691 and in
March a further fall to 694,808 tons.
In relation to January, exports have
thus declined by about 30 per cent
Everything points to the probable
ity that the giant struggle Of the
British miners was no more than
prelude to still greater struggles

are being discharged, idle shifts in
troduced, and pits closed down. The
next move will be a general attack
by the mine-owners on the miners.
The miners Of Poland, the Rhur, and
Czechosiovakia will have to suffer
bitterly for failing to recognize a
year ago that the struggle in Great
Britain was fought in their own in
terests too.
All the forces Of the working class
will have to be called up if the Inn
minent attack of the employers is to
be repealed. The fate Of the British
miners should have taught the inter
national proletariat that it is only
fight on a united international basis
that can avert defeat.

LONDON. June 7.-Havelock Will
son, renegade bureaucrat of the Sea-
mems Union, has joined hands with
the tory government Of Birkenhead
and Churchill, in attacking the Sow
let Union for its alleged mistreat-
ment of a British sailor named David
Scott, who was deported from Russia
for violating the criminal code.
Scott has given out an affidavit
charging that he was imprisoned
without trial in Soviet Russia. In re-
ply to a question in the House of
Commons, Mr. Locker-L ampson, I'M
der secretary Of Foreign Affairs de-
clared that his attention had been
called to the case of David Scott,
"who was just returned destitute
from Russia" and that the British
Charge d'Affairs at Moscow has pro-
tested to the Soviet Government
against Scott's prolonged detention
without trial"
Wilson has made political capital
out of the sordid case in his efforts
to help the Die-Hards break off rela-
tions with Soviet Russia He has APP
pealed to members of Parliament on
SCOTS behalf.
A statement issued by the General
Council of the Soviet trade union
movement shows that Scott came to
Russia in 1923 and remained there
illegally He does not deny this.
A Smuggler.
For three years he lived in the
port city of Novorossisk with a pros
titute named Pavlova Cortonet, a
Soviet citizen. They both carried on
contraband trade. They were searched
ten times and each time contraband
goods were found on them. They
were fined for this illicit business.
In addition Scott and Cortonet act

Polish Situation Bad.
THE situation in Poland, meanwhile,
is catastrophe. The pithead stocks
in Upper Silesia, which have at all
times been the most reliable baro-
meter to record the position Of coal
mining, reached a total Of 1921 900
tons on March 3lst, figure which
has up to the present only occurred
once, during the customs war with
Germany.
In keeping with the increase Of pit
head stocks, there is a decline in pro-
duction and in sales. The daily out
put, which amounted to more than
100000 tons in February, fell to
about $4,000 in March The sales and
expectation totals are discussed as
follows by the "Berliner B0rsen-
Courier"
"The deterioration Of the coal po-
stion is yet more drastically ex-
pressed in the sale returns. In
February the. home market absorbed
1,566,477 tons, but in March only
100000 tons. The development Of
export trade is altogether disastrous

Given a "Floater."
Scott had no documents showing
he was a British subject. He estab-
lished his identity through trade
union card.
He and his woman partner were
arrested Dec. 10, 1925, and released
Aug. 10, 1926 on the understanding
that they would leave Novorossisk.
They had been imprisoned after a
trial in which they were found guilty
Of violating Article OF, Part Of the
criminal code. The woman was SEN
fenced to live three years in the
Khirgiz district. Scott was deported
to England.
In the affidavit which he published
in England, and which is being used
for anti-Soviet propaganda, Scott adj
mits that he jumped ship at Novoros-
sisk because he thought he could earn
pound a day there.
Do They Mean It?
In London labor circles it is point
ed out that if the tory government Is
really interested in protesting against
the Imprisonment of British subjects,
It might address its complaints to
+ba ITnitad States. where a number Of
British workers are rotting in jail for
mere membership in the I. W. w.
In western states, California in
particular, British subjects have been
arrested under the criminal syndical-
list act, and the possession Of an I. w.
w. membership card was sufficient
to send them for terms Of one to fif-
teen years at San Quentin and other
prisons.

WE are experiencing the beginnings
" Of a new crisis in the European
mining industry. The struggle of the
British miners last year and the con-
sequent exclusion Of Great Britain
from among the contemplating coun-
tries of the world may somewhat
have relieved the status Of European
coal production by making it possible
for the constantly accommodating
stocks at the pitheads to be cleared,
but this amelioration was no more
than transient. No sooner was the
struggle in Great Britain terminated,
and British coal again able to com
pete on the world market, than the
seemingly prosperous business posi-
ton of European coal production
changed into the contrary again.
Victory In Vain.
The British coal magnates had
carried off a complete victory over
the British miners. Not only did they
effect a prolongation Of the working
hours; they also made a cut in wages
and began to put through their COM
prehensive programme of rationaliza-
ton in regard to working methods by
reducing the number Of shifts in the
face Of a simultaneous increase Of
output
In spite Of all the desperate efforts
Of the British coal magnates, to re-
gain the lost world markets and to
penetrate into fresh pastures, the
possibilities of expectation get small
Ter and smaller. Production is already
being restricted, fewer shifts being
worked, and further miners are be-
ing dismissed, Notwithstanding which.
the stocks at the pitheads are grow
ing 80 large that there is again talk
of a necessity Of reducing the costs
of production, which m ans the
wages. The course Of procedure is
so clearly outlined in England, that
the miners leader Cook only the
other day pointed out that fresh
struggle was impending at no very
distant date, in which connection the
miners would have to withstand the
attacks Of the mine-owners.
THESE proceedings in British min
ing naturally affect the mining in
dustry Of all Europe most sensibly.
The prosperous business cycle called
forth abroad by the British miners
struggle is over, and the competition
Of Great Britain has become far
keener than it was before. This is
particularly the case in the Ruhr dis
trict and in Silesia.
In the Rhur district the situation
has become so acute that miners have
been discharged and idle shifts in
troduced. On this subject the Boo
hum correspondent Of the "Berliner
Borsen-Courier" states that
''if the market crisis continues to
obtain, further serious restrictions
viii be inevitable"
That the coal-mining districts out
side Germany have also been affected
by this crisis may be seen from a re-
port Of the Belgian Labor Ministry.
according to which the position of
the Belgian hard-coal market is get
ting more and more critical. A num-

NOT WHAT, BUT HOW

Every once in a while these days one is reminded that in
a little while Christmas will be here. Of course the merry
season is still more than a month away, but many children and
grown-ups have already begun to make their plans.
To do the kind of thing that old Kriskringle does takes a
lot of planning if it is to be done well; in a manner of speaking
you have to get ready for it. Not that this planning is ever
hard work, even if you go at it with all your might and main;
because as every boy and girl knows when you do anything
TO make anyone happy, it is never hard work, and the more
patience and skill you have to employ in doing it, the more fun
1t is.
If you were to ask him face to face, Santa Claus would
tell you that a lot of people miss half the fun of Christmas
because they forget that it isn't what is given that counts,
but how the thing is given. He would tell you that what a
thing costs, or how much it shines, has nothing to do with it.
What really counts is how much affection and kindness and
wel[wishing you put into it. It's what you are, and not whet
the gift is, that counts.
That's why Christmas is such a wonderful season; and
that is why most people who like Santa Claus and Christmas
try to plan and get ready for this great day, so that they may
have most of themselves to give when that day comes.
Santa Claus never yet waited till the last minute and
then scurTied around and wondered what he would do about this
and about that. You can guess from the stories they tell about
HING and from the way he looks. that he is the kind who does
things when they ought to be done-quite a while before the
last minute. And in these things it is well to follow Santas
example.

THE GOAL IN EDUCATION
Character Building and Citizenship
Training

IH -
The successful operation of a
school plant is without question the
biggest and most important bus
mess in any community. A sue
cessful nation depends on intelligent
and conscientious citizenship.
Boys and girls who are trained in
the home, in the school, in the
church and in the community to be
good citizens are the greatest asset
of any nation. The first place to
train and educate a child is in the
home. For the parents are. of
course, the first natural teachers.
The home training of the child is
the largest factor in the child's ed
ucation, since the home has con-
troll of the. child nineteen TWEEN
tieths of the time-from his birth
until he finishes high school.
Now. since the aim of education
is character building and citizen
ship training, is it not important
that the home set up ideals o I
Christian living and conduct? How
true the statement you can now
in these early a do things with
a ouch as light as a feather. which
later you cannot do with the pres
sure of a hundred-weight." If the
child has been properly trained dur
ing the early impressionable years
of his life. the chances are, as he
reaches early adolescence he will
make right choices. Character for
nation is growth and the parents
and the teachers can assist and
guide In the development of life.
The home, the school and the
church must work together in per-
feet harmony in this character
building program of the child.
The child is a product of bis
mothers attitude, his fathers dis
cipline, the atmosphere of the home,
the teachers personality. his play
mates on the street, the movies
, 1927-11-16

and many other influences in his
environment. The home and school
should always work in harmony
and understanding, so that each
may supplement the other in the
education and training of the child.
The teachers of our public school
have a wonderful opportunity to
help boys and girls find themselves
and to send them into the world
with the right mission of service.
Through personal contact they can
teach the youth of the land that
no education is complete without a
truly religious ideal. 1t is. after
all, the religion of the Bible that
our nation must know and feel. If
we are to have national character
and stability.
This character building program
places upon the church a great re
sponsibility and opens, of course,
the door of opportunity. The church
is responsible for the religious de-
velopment of boys and girls. OF
what real value is education after
all IL 1t means and stands for mem
tai development only? A student
is not educated, in the fullest
sense. who is not properly adjusted
to a religious environment, and who
is not religiously efficient.

IT CAN'T BE DONE

1t would be a good thing for motorists to learn and remem-
Der that a car going so miles an hour covers 88 feet a second;
a car going 80 miles an hour means "A feet a second, and a car
going Is miles an hour means % feet a second. If a man driv-
ing his car at 60 miles an hour does not see another car coming
ont OF an interseeting street until he is SO feet from it, he has
only one second in which to stop. 1t can not possibly be done.
liz a man is driving at 80 miles an hour and sees another car
coming out of an intersecting street when he is IA feet from
1T, he has only one second to stop. Impossible. If a man drives
his car at Is miles an hour and does not see another car coming
out of an intersecting street, or a child lodging out from behind
a parked machine, or a woman with a baby carriage suddenly
starting across, until he is % feet from the object, he has only
one second in which to stop. 1t can be Tribune.

PROBLEMS OF PRESIDENCY

Within nine months the choice for an occupant for the
White House will be narrowed to two men and %30,O00,000
voters will choose a leader and spokesman for four years.
Economy and prosperity are talked of as the achievements
of the present administration with a general policy to let
the people alone to work out their own salvation.
Our Country has also refrained from mixing up with
other countries. Greater revenues resulted from lower tax
rates. Anticorporation sentiment and radicalism in any form
have constantly declined.
Industries and payrolls are considered more important
than partisanship, and people generally prefer a candidate
who will give us soundness in judgment and firmness in control

UNFAIR ACTION

Many of the stockmen of the western part of the county
are loudly protesting against the action of the U. S. Reclamation
Service at Powell in leasing some $4,000 acres of government
withdrawn land in Oregon basin for a period of five years,
without giving the stockmen of the entire county an opportunity
to bid upon the area to be leased.
The advertisement appeared in a Powell paper which has
little or no circulation in this part of the county, and the fact
that any change was to be made by the Reclamation service in
its administration of these lands was unknown to the stockInen
of the county. The successful bidders for the land were Morris
Newcomer, whose ranch is in Big Horn county, and to Snyder
Brothers of Lowell.
, 1927-11-16
SOMETHING ABOUT OIL

There is one thing about the oil industry which is not
generally understood, it is one of the most highly competitive
businesses in the United States. Competition begins with a
mad rush to buy or lease land wherever oil prospects are
found or where oil is actually discovered. The farmer who
leases oil land generally makes a larger net profit on his
investment, than do the oil companies.
An oil company may be already producing more crude
oil than it can use, but let some prospector sink a well on
Land adjoining it's holdings, and strike oil, and there is nothing
for it to do but to begin to drill, in order to protect its own
, 1927-11-16

land from being drained dry of oils by surrounding wells.
Or, if a company has leased land, the lessor Immediately wants
his royalty-he does not care whether there is already an
oversupply of oil or not.
Nowhere in the world is gasoline sold so cheapy as IN
the United States. Figures published during 1927 show that
average price of gasoline in sc leading cities of the world was
42.5 cents per gallon. Average price in leading cities in
United States, from Atlantic to Pacific, and from Canada to
Mexico, was 206 cents per gallon.
