Morgan Makes Grab for
CzechOsIovakian State
Railways, Says Report

PARIS. Sept. 27.-A bid was
made by J. P. Morgan and Com
pany Of New York to take over the
Czechoslovakian state railways and
negotiations relative to the project
are in progress, it was learned to-
day from an authoritative source.
The Morgan interests ask for
the railways as a guarantee for a
loan to the Czechoslovakian gov
eminent. A commission operating
along the lines followed for Ger
many in the Dawes plan would adj
minister the railways, part of the
profit going to Czechoslovakia and
part to the bankers.
The negotiations struck a snag
when the Morgan interests insist
ed upon a complete revaluation of
the railroad property.

BRITISH WORKERS
RESENT Freeing
OF CRUEL MASTER
Brutally M,istreated In.
jured Steward

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Deep resent
ment was expressed here today
among British workers following the
decision of the federal grand jury in
New York which refused to indict
Michel J. Crowley, captain of the
American oil tanker, 'Manatawny,"
after gruesome evidence of brutal
mistreatment of Fred Thomas, Brit
ish steward aboard the ship, has been
presented.
Thomas charges that during
storm he was thrown against a steam
pipe. Crowley gave him no medical
treatment and as a result Thomas
lost the use of his right hand. Irri-
tated by screams and groans follow
ing the accident, the captain of the
ship ordered Crowley handcuffed and
beaten by other members Of the
crew.
The victim, who has since returned
to England, preferred his charges be-
fore the British foreign office which
protested thru the British ambassa-
dor at Washington to the American
government.

Red Army Close TO
USSR Workers. Says
Returning Visitor

While most of the members of the
first tour arranged by World Tour
lists, Inc, are still in Soviet Union
on extensions of stay granted for
the purpose of visiting relatives or
friends, or to study specific phase
of the Soviet cultures. the second
group returned late last week. This
group, numbering seven, expressed
great satisfaction with their treat
ment.
Their spokesman, James Trushin-
sky, of 2907 West Division St., Chi
cago, ILL.,, stated that they found the
morale of the workers of the Soviet
Union greatly higher than that of
the American worker. An inveterate
traveller, he stated that in no country
he has visited has he found the work.
ers so content with their lot. They
are inspired, he stated, by the knowl-
edge that they are laboring for the
betterment of themselves, by the fact
that their efforts are directed, not to
the monetary benefit Of a small class
of bosses, but to the cultural, spir-
itual and economic furtherance of
their lives and that of the working
class.
Trushinsky was especially enthusi-
astic about the Red army. The domi-
nant difference between the soldiers
of the Red army and those of the
Tsarist Russia, with whom Trushin-
sky was acquainted, being by birth a
Russian, is the wholesome interest
taken by the Red soldiers in the life
of the people as q whole. Those SOL
iders of the rank and file with whom
he came in contact were we'll versed
in the economic history of the Soviet
Union and intelligently discussed the
problems of the future. These sol
diers feel themselves to be not class
apart and above from the general
population, but of it, working shoulder
to shoulder with it along productive
lines. There is far greater freedom
among these soldiers, and a self
imposed discipline rather than super
imposed.
World Tourists announce that reg
istration for their second tour, sail
ing October ID on the S. s. Carmania
of the Cunard Line, will close within
a few days. The tour will last eight
weeks, and will include visits to the.
aires and art galleries as well as the
witnessing and participation in The
tremendous celebrations of the tenth
anniversary of the Russian revolu.
ton. This is very rare opportunity
and all DESTROYS of accompanying the
tour must apply Immediately at the
office of World Tourists, 60 Fifth
Ave, New York.

Chinese Liberation Movement Marches Forward

ing class and the alliance with the
peasantry as the guarantee Of the in
tegrity of the liberation movement.
ALREADY new forces are being
"A drawn into the struggle. The Chi
nese peasantry and the semi-prole-
tartan elements Of the cities and
towns are realizing that the right
wing of the kuomintang, the enemy
of these social categories, no longer
exercises a hampering influence from
within upon the liberation movement.
The mass murder Of Communists,
left wing Kuomintang leaders and or
ganizers of unions and peasant so
cieties, the n1erciless suppressions Of
the masses practiced by the Marking
government and its supporters while
at the same time it made overtures
to the northern militarists and the
imperiaiists, the active participation
in or tacit approval of these atrocities
by the Wuhan "moderates," serve to
disillusion millions of workers and
peasants.
From this huge section of the
Chinese masses the revolution will
draw great forces.
AS it becomes clearer to the worlds
n working class that the Chinese
liberation movement no longer is
dominated by doubtful elements who
make peace with the imperialists at
the moment the working class is
gathering its international forces for
support Of the Chinese nationalists,
there will be new sympathy, under
standing and activity.
There will be a renewal of the pres
sure upon the imperialist govern
ments for the withdrawal Of troops
and gunboats and the Chinese leaders
will be able to show to the masses
that the working class forces are
modified for their support in all inn

1 struggle and not by surrender to ma
! tive and foreign reaction.
All indications Point 10 a new SER
les Of big developments in the Chinese
| liberation struggle and here in the
most powerful imperialist nation we
must be ready to give every possible
assistance to the Chinese masses who
strike at the very foundations Of
! world imperialism.

NAACP ASSAILS
WALKER FOR HIS
rome BEHAVIOR
Call the Mayors Action
Contemplate

The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People, So
Fifth Ave, yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement on the report that
Mayor Walker had objected to the
presence of colored patrons on dane
ing floor in a night club in Rome.
The statement was signed by James
Weldon johnson, secretary of the Ad-
vancement Association;
eve cannot believe without fur
Their confirmation that the mayor of
a large city like New York has been
guilty of such a petty and even con-
temptible action in cosmopolitan
city of Europe where good behavior
and gentlemanly bearing, not race or
color, are the passports in public
places.
Did Not Need Censorship.
However, if it should prove true
that Mayor Walker did protest
against the dancing of Brazilian gem
tlemen with white ladies', it might be
pointed out that the women were
doubtless of age and entirely capable
of choosing their escorts without as
sistance or censorship from Ameri-
can visitors.
Moreover, if the mayor of New
York wants to see white and black
citizens dancing together, he need not
go to the city of Rome, in Italy.
There are plenty of places in the city
over which he presides where they so
dance without untoward incidents Of
any kind.
/ owe resent the reported action Of
/ the mayor because it is an invasion OF
personal rights and the exhibition of
preiudiced state of mind utterly
unbefitting the head Of great city, "
