The Maharaja of kashmir whose
fame as one of the East's most re-
splendent rulers recently became world
wide as a result of his figuring as the

to visit the United States.
Franklin Price Knott of the Ma

the monarch's wish in reporting on q
visit to the Royal Eastern Court for
the purpose of taking a color photo
graph of the Maharaja for the society.
The Maharaja appeared for the pic
ture, Knott said, with an emerald
two and one-half inches across blazing
in all its natural brilliance on his
chest Knot added:
He cup2n1oned me to the green
and t'iue tiled pool in the royal palace
&C Jammu where he was bathing with
dozen natives diving and splashing.
After the swimming servants brought
TO him tday after tray of exquisite
1ewelry; pins, necklaces, rings and
bracelets From some trays he would
select piece and wave the rest away.
When ! finally photographed him
with his aides. he was wearing. I was
told, $4.000.000 worth of pearls"
Mr.. Knott, whose home is in Santa
Barbara, Calf, brought several hun.
dred color photographs for the Ma.
tfonal Geographic Society. He went
to Japan to photograph geisha girls
and Mount Full, to China for Buddha
temples, TO kashmir for the most
beautiful valley in the world and to
the Island of Bali in the Dutch East
Indies for the unspoiled perfection of
a remarkably colorful native life
practically unknown to travellers.

as Eugenia was admiring a wonderful
piece of rich black satin.
"Where'd you get that?" asked
Mrs. Croffert curiously.
Eugenia flung up her little gray

AT o'clock that afternoon as she

CHANGSHA, (By Mail 1.-The little
Japanese river steamer is slowly polk
ing its way up the Slang River to-
wards Changsha, capital of Human.
1t is famous among Americans as the
headquarters of Yale-in- China; it is
also known as the spot where the
worst excuses have occurred among
peasants and workers behind the
march of the Nationalist. Here it is
said, the Communists" had full
swing, Matchmaking lands, killing
rich gentry.
Wuhan Militarists Murder Workers.
1t is always difficult in these ru-
mors to know what is meant by Com
munists. No responsible secretary of
the Communist Party accepts respon-
sibility for the actions charged
against them; on the other hand, any
hooligan leader who takes advantage
Of upset conditions to get revenge on
a rich man who has ill-treated him,
is sure to be called a Communist.
Now, however, Human is the seat
of reaction. The militarists, mot
those Of the north but militarists
claiming loyalty to the Hankow gov
.ernment), have put down the labor
unions and the peasant unions with
a heavy hand. Everyone admits that
they have killed dozens for every one
killed by their opponents. In Chang
sha itself 100 labor and peasant lead
.ers are reported executed. So order
is restored, and excuses are over,
since it is never an excess to kill a
working man or peasant.
Imperialists Back Reaction.
I have again and again met en-
ployers, including missionaries en-
ploying servants, who have exulted
in the fact that they were now able
to break the agreements which they
had duly made with their employees,
"since the union has no power to en-
force anything any more" 1t is the
threat of foreign gunboats in the har-
Dor which has deprived the union of
force.
Two missionaries have told me the

sionaries, very sympathetic with Chi

THE Herald Tribune of Wednesday
last presented us with as obvious
a faxed Communist secret document
as we have seen since the British
government issued the famous elmo
view letter" that jerled Ramsay Mac
Donald out of the premier's office.
In this forgery which was alleged to
have been taken from the secret ar
chives of the Soviet embassy in Paris,
I a certain individual is instructed to
repair to Bolivia, with the handsome
expense account of one million francs
with which to start revolution in
that country. According to o. Henry

Latin America in his day, but in

manufacturers of fake documents
must speak in the vernacular.
THE, alleged ''agent" of the Commu-
mist international was instructed
to open a business house as a cloak
for his revolutionary activities. Here
the general staff of the government"
would hibernate until the zero hour
arrived. Then they would spring on
the unsuspecting populace and es-
tabllsh their rule over them. Presto
changed! The Bolivians would pound
the pillows one night under capt.
talist government. They would wake
up the next morning and see red
flags where the banners of capitalism
formerly waved This is the yarn
for which some impecunious czarist
Russian received a hot meal.
THE discomfort of the Latin Ameri-
can masses is not due to the
dead-eye-dick activities of mythical
revolutionary agents spawned out of
the sick brains Of stool-pigeons and
agents-provocateur. 1t is caused by
the oppression and exploitation of
foreign imperialism and their. native
tools. If the Communist Interna-
tional never existed, the exploited
everywhere would continue to strug-
gle against those who hold them in
bondage. But the Communist Inter-
national, in an intelligent and effec-
tive manner gives assistance to all
oppressed peoples in their battle
against tyranny and. robbery.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. T.
"Of the industrially developed ma
tions, the United States, as a unit,
stands alone in still applying 18th
Century methods to goth Century
problems"
If you think the statement is false
have it verified by writing to the
American Association for Old Age
Security, P o. Box 1901, Harrisburg,
Penna.
It's secretary. Abraham Epstein,
author of Facing Old Age" spoke at
a meeting sponsored by the Los An
geles Central Labor Council in the
Labor Temple, Wednesday night,
Aug. 31st, to a group Of workers who
seemed to be thoroughly in accord
with what was said.
Feeble Minded Best Workers.
Epstein argued for security for
men and women who have been denied
the right to work in the richest coun-
try on earth. It was not the fault
of workers themselves that they were
poor today. 1t might have been so
so years ago when there was plenty
of free and fertile land on which
able bodied persons could go and seek
independence. Skill under modern
industrial conditions was not the as
set it used to be. Efficiency experts
were even claiming that the feeble
minded made the best workers.
Not railroad in the country would
give steady employment to skilled
workers after the age of as or I'M
skilled after they reached So.
Security Lacking.
No one knew how to stay away
from the poorhouse. In one year 300
banks had closed their doors robbing
large numbers of workers of their
meager savings. The average wage
received was less than needed for the
proper support of a family of five
Dependency in old age was not due
to lack of thrift, but to circumstances
over which the individual had no con-
troll. Basis of prosperity" he said,
rests on spending money" He men,
toned a group of European workers
who visited and studied working con-
ditions in this country a year ago.
They said wages are from so to 100
per cent higher here than at home,
but they preferred European low
wages and more security.
POorhOuses Undesirable.
Poorhouses might be American, but
even so they were nothing to be proud
of. They separated mother and
father in their declining years. In
very few Of them was the food better
than in the jails and penitentiaries.
Investigation showed that for the
cost Of an inmate in county aims
house in Pennsylvania, three persons
could be supported in their homes.
The support Of an almshouse inmate
in Montana costs from three to five
times as much as that Of a, pensioner.

Like the cowardly and vile murder
OF Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb-
knecht, like the murder of thousands
OF workers, SO this bestial slaughter
of the two workers in Boston will let
loose the most profound indignation
OF millions of workers and peasants.
This cowardly, bestial murder must
not and will not be forgiven the
American and international bour-
geolsle. II the bourgeoisie of the
United States believes that it can
thereby weaken and. intimidate the
revolutionary class struggle of the
proletariat, it will find itself mistak-
en-. The Indignation, the fury at this
cowardly murder will lead millions of
workers to the revolutionary front.
and hundreds of thousands will spring
to fill up the gap created by the muir
der of Sacco and Vanzetti.
Role of Reformists.
The attitude of the reformist par
ties and trade unions in the fight con-
Quoted by millions in order to pre-
vent the murder has been shameful.
The International Trade Union Con-
gress in Paris did nothing and did
not even raise finger in order to
save the lives of the two condemned
workers. The II. International, this
despicable body of bankrupt social
democratic ex-Ministers, was more
deeply moved over the fate of Dude
geest at the Paris Congress than over
the fate of the two revolutionary
workers awaiting execution. The de-
mand of the American Defence Com
nittee for Sacco and Vanzetti that
an international general strike be
called in order to save the lives of
the two workers, was printed in the
social democratic "Vorwaerts" of Ber-
lin, this model paper of a degenerate
and corrupt reptile press, under the
cynical heading; ga Belated Propo-
sal" instead of the editors blushing
with shame at the fact that the repre-
sentatives of the Social Democratic
Party at the Paris Congress and their
functionaries in the trade unions had
not brought forward this proposal as
a matter of course, and at least APP
proved the proposals of the revolu-
tionary organizations and workers
groups in Germany when the latter
demanded the organization of pro-
test strike.
The bourgeoisie of the United
States wished to murder Sacco and
Vanzetti as a demonstration in the
great class struggle against the pro-
letariat. The fact that they were
able to carry out this intention is
greatly due to the shameful and cow
ardly behavior of the reformist and
social democratic trade union and par
ty cliques in the United States and in
other countries.
Sacco and Vanzetti have died for
the revolutionary class struggle and
for the revolution. Their death must
be fresh stimulus to extend and to
intensity the revolutionary fight
against the bourgeoisie of all coun-
tires, as well as against all reformist
agents and lackeys of the bourgeoisie.
The death of Sacco and Vanzetti
will spur US on to increase a hundred
fold our efforts in the proletarian
class struggle, and not to rest until
the capitalist condemned cells are
stormed and the proletarian revolu-
tion is realized.
