ing and that the supreme court during its existence
of over a hundred years has not yet been able to
define the power of congress to pass laws regulat
ing state affairs and commerce.
Much as these last questions are straining the
intelligence of the 'bench" yet and matters pertain
ing to individuals, especially radicals the courts,
from police magistrate to the chief justice of the
supreme court, have seen their duty clearly and
have interpreted the law so that no may accuse
them of vacilaton. The ''due process clause" is
invoked and presto, justice has been administered.
It was while discussing the freedom of speech
and press that the speaker referred to the war
period of 1917 Here was a very specific case. A
group of radicals obstructing the government
of this country in its conduct of the war. Hence
the necessity for the time sedition bills. The
directors and Instructors were sent to Jail and the
country won the war. (Radicals and near-radcals
will do well to keep an eye on the past in order to
know what will happen in the next wary. 1t never
occurred to Mr.. Hughes to inform his audience why
the "due process clause not used against
tain statesmen and financiers who through political
ntrigues and under false pretenses, unanswered this
country into needless war which killed a hundred
thousand of its citizens and crippled twice that
number
Hughes is a conservative and so his advocacy for
freedom of the press is limited. He praised the wis
dom of the founders of this republic to have es-
ablished such freedom but also reminded his hearers
that the same men had also founded the supreme
court, to watch that the frail and delicate sense of
freedom should not suffer abuse When liberty be-
comes license it must be stopped. To prove this
he quoted the Gitlow case and the supreme court
decision in 1924 Here, doubt, the proverbial
pig running around in a judicial parlor. The de-
PENDANT was charged with having used the freedom
of the press to advocate policy inimical to the
welfare of the people, to incite to do violence; to

n HARLES EVANS HUGHES, former governor
~ Of the state of New York, associate justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court republican candidate for
president secretary of state in the Harding cabinet,
and at present senior member of a law firm, has
been holding series of lectures at Columbia Uni
versity 'The Supreme Court of the United
States
To be sure, Mr.. Hughes is considered an authority
on the constitution and the law of the country and
yet, while he reading his prepared manuscript,
could see the elusiveness and the dual charac-
ter which the term claw" implies.
What is the law of the country? Mr.. Hughes
gives his own Interpretation, admits however, that
its application is not always satisfactory He gave
an illustration; "The law condemns a nuisance, and
yet nuisance may be right thing in the wrong
place, like pig in parlor."
What is the purpose Of the law? According to
Mr.. Hughes 'to protect property and to establish
justice" How is this accomplished? "By the due
process Of the law" This last is Mr.. Hughes stock
in-trade.
1t is all very simple, the judge explains. Congress
makes the laws and the courts interpret them If
the people don't like the laws then let them make
use of the ballot box.
Hughes congratulates the country for being for
tunate enough to possess that wonderful document,
the u. S. constitution. Our forefathers realized
that we might get into legal entanglements and
they gave us a fundamental law of the country to
guide ourselves. Nobody makes errors now and
justice is given its due! He ptes the unfortunate
British people for not having similar document.
True enough, King John gave them the Magma
Charta, but that manuscript is elastic that every
succeeding generation has interpreted it in a diff
ferent way.
However, after showing how poorly England has
provided herself with a legal superstructure, Mr..
Hughes admits that Jurisprudence is very eonfus-

familiar they sound) and so it became necessary to
invoke the "due process clause" and Gitlow was
sent to jail.
Thus speaks Mr.. Hughes, the lawyer, the ex-
ponent of that capitalisc monstrosy called corpus

the system of wage slavery.
Everything about Hughes is iudicious his i'm
macuate white dress Shirt white collar and tie,
white vest and white whiskers His very walk pose
and bow judiciously measured. If it is true as
some people would have it, that Hughes has used
this opportunity to come back into the public and
be possible candidate from this state for the 1925
presidential election, then must admit that even
his entry into the political is from legal
standpoint unimpeachabe. Well he may stand and
say 81 am the law" but strip him of his law and
the man collapses. He lives with, by and for the
law, the capitalist law the law of explorers the
law of legality for corrupt diplomacy and murder
GUS wars, the law which is in harmony with the
recognition of capitalist relationships, but which
judicously taboos a workers dictatorship.
This law, Mr. Hughes law, is not means to
establish equality and justice 1t is the law of capt.
talism, the power of a few rich to impose their
will and dictates upon vast majority who through
a legal appropriation system have been made mpo-
tent and Who because of their helplessness submit
to such dictates.
To permit a continuation of such exploitation

Two Chinese Generals

In Hankow General Chang Kai-Shih arrived to
be greeted by nlassed crowds numbering thousands,
who cheered themselves hoarse and made all sorts
of efforts in order merely to get glimpse of the
man they call "liberator." The Nationalist military
chief walked through a close-paeked crowd lining
the landing place He had with him his aides and
small body-guard But there no yellow sand
on his pathway. Nor was there any need for lane
of soldiery. Chang Kai-Shih unlike Chang Tso-
Lin, does not live in hourly fear of assassins.
In Picking Chang Tso-Lin lived in a huge yamen,
whose entrance was watched over by company of
soldiers day and night. Throughout all the many
courtyards of his residence soldiers were on con-
slant guard duty Visitors penetrated to his private
quarters only after passing the scrutiny of nearly
regiment of soldiers. This was not a method of
safeguard adopted merely because he in Picking.
He is equally closely guarded when he is "at home"
in Mukden
In Hankow, the Nationalist military chieftain
lived in small modern building in what is known
the "Model District" in the Chinese city. The
guard of two soldiers which had been at its entrance
before he arrived remained guard of two soldiers
after he had taken up residence Some of his per-
sona body-guards to be sure, were in the main re-
ception room of the building But the writer, who
had business with another official residing in the
same building, not stopped questioned by
them. There was no atmosphere of apprehension.
In Peking the Mukden warlord never ventured
forth from his yamen unless three motor-loads of
guards hanging on the running-board with drawn
revolvers in their hands. And he ventured forth
seldom.
In Hankow Chang Kai-Shih went about in
limousine motor, with aide inside with him and
body-guards at all. He went about every day.
He found time to attend special theatrical per-
Torrance in his honor. He smiled, bowed to ac-
quaintances, took seat Economically in the or
chestra section and alongside minor employee Of
one of the government ministries He found time to
attend few dinners given by business men. He
made speeches, telling them the aims of the revolu-
tion urging them to try hard to understand the new
labor movement developing among the masses. At
these functions--and esewhere-he indicated that
he choose not to be called General" or Marshal
but plain "Mster" (Sen Sheng).
There is no "swank" about Chang Kai-Shih, nor
yet any of the medieval pomp and trappings which
the old-style militarsts of the north affect. Nor
does he write poetry while campaign is ON. He is

HANKOW, January (By Mail) The pomp and
circumstance surrounding the reception of Chang
Tso-Lin in Picking and his subsequent stay in that
city make an interesting contrast with a similar
event here in Hankow, when Chang Kai-Shin, COM
nander-in-chef Of the Nationalist armies, arrived
from Nanchang to confer with the Nationalist gov
eminent officials.
In Picking, the ex-bandit chieftain from Mukden
had yellow sand Ian imperial symbol) strewn along
the streets through which he travelled from the rail-
way depot to his fortress-home in the West City,
Soldiers lined all the streets through which his mo-
tor passed People stood along the way and stared.
They did not. however, cheer. One correspondent
said Chang Tso-Lin had everything in the way of
reception-except a welcome.

BUILDING POEMS

/ watched building being built. They had to dig
the ground quite deep for it's foundation. And
there chaos of deep digging and of laying
the foundation.
Cranes and earth and rocks and trucks and stones
and bricks and steel and pulleys-all I saw, and
many workers at this giant task.
1t took time to build the building, but finished it
was beautiful Clear-cut, precise, without foolish
ornament. All that was without use was either
thrown away made over for other use.
And ! saw poems built like this. No frills no posed
ornaments, no insincere toys of sentiment, no
affected enthusiastically frank as cear-cut
steel, true as finished buildings. Beautiful
because they do not sham.
These are the poems of the new United States and
England of Germany and Red China and, moth
er of them ALL of Soviet Russia.
The strength of the mighty poor in these poems,
and what they'll do. These poems herald the
poor and in earnest join their fight. These are
the new, the youthful offsprings of their father,
the poor. They know the low, strong voice of
their father and therefore sing with him in
solidarity and truth.
These are the building poems-they build the sky
scraping future.

CHINA IN REVOLT
BY EUGENE KREINTN

The cradle of ancient culture
Is breaking the shell of servitude,
In it's lead of the oppressed,
Towards the dawn of liberation
From the yoke of Imperialism.
Imperialism
The last attempt
Of a dying capitalism,
To hang on
To the hinges of existence
And China aroused
From a slumber of ages,
Breaks the chains of domination.
And the enemy
Degenerated by delicacies-
Wrung
From the mouths of the workers,
Is fed by an awakening people,
With a reception
Bitter in taste,
And lead in content
And China opens
It's millions of almond eyes;
And the wings of Imperialism
Are breaking
In the storm
