Mitchell Optimistic on 1927.
Charles r. Mitchell, president of
the National City Bank, known to
many local bankers, believes 1927 will
be good business year. Production
and distribution are normal, he says.
Commodity prices show no signs of
imitation; the amount of reserve credit
is now less than a year ago; indus
trial conditions in Europe are gen.
orally getting better, and currency
sterilization has made progress. He
further argues that since the world
Is approaching more normal condi-
tons there is every reason to expect
that business at home and in the
foreign branches will continue to en-,
joy healthy growth"

like Lowden, but also for big capital against the
farming masses This united front of the big finan-
cial, industrial and commercial capitalists on the
one hand with the rich farmers the other hand
constitutes a hostile and dangerous against
the poor and working farmers. The latter cannot
afford to remain passive indifferent to this
dtion. They must wake up to the dangers
fronting them and begin to mobilize their own
united front with basic program of agrarian
lief of their own And in addition, they must also
take measures towards closer relations with labor
which is the only real ally of the poor and working
farmers against the oppression of big capital.
Contrary to the comparative passvity of the poor
and working farmers the active efforts of the
rich farmers to relief Legislation in their in
terests. The spokesman of this group, organized
in the executive committee of % headed by George
N. Peek of Chicago, held a meeting in that city
week ago to review the situation following the
defeat of the McNary-Haugen bill and to Gay plans
for the fight" at the next session of congress- 1t
is understood that this meeting preparatory to
conferences soon to be held with Senator McNary
and Congressman Haugen.
The statement issued at the close of the meeting
says that the sentiment in different sections of the
south and middle west for effective farm relief
legislation is stronger than ever, and shat there is
sentiment among those represented here today
in favor of a legislative program which falls short
of these aims which attempts to compromise
these principles" Which is all very WELL of course,
showing first that the well-to-do farmers are alive
to their interests and second, that they prepar-
ing to put up a stiff fight to get the best of the
bargain which Coolidge is trying to negotiate with
them. But where do the poor and working farmers
in this deal? Nowhere 1t would be sheer
folly to expect anything beneficial to the farming
masses from the bargaining between Coolidge and
the spokesman of the rich farmers. To repeat what
was said above, the poor and working farmers must
begin to concentrate and mobilize their forces, in
alliance with the workers, and prepare for struggle
on a basic agrarian program. =

exploitation of these masses. One of the chief in
ducements for the native Chinese capitalists to
cept such alliance with American Imperialism
against the Chinese Nationalist revolution is
doubtedly the ability of American Imperialism to
Finance" and promote the development of industry
for large scale exploitation and profit-making in
which the Chinese capitalists would have their proper
share.
Despite therefore the so-called "pacific" appear
of the American imperialist policy in China, the
maneuvers Of the American government constitute
q life danger to the Chinese revolution This is
particularly so because the American attack is di-
rected chiefly against the Chinese revolutionary
bloc, the workers and peasants, which is the back
bone and mainstay of the revolution. To offer real
support to the Chinese Nationalist revolution
to exert all possible effort to compel the American
imperialists to keep their hands off China
THE question of farm relief and farm relief egis-
lation has not been settled by President Cool
idges veto of the McNary- Haugen bill. Not
the middle and rich farmers willing or able to
accept Coolidge's veto as something final and con-
elusive. While the poor and working farmers whose
lot would have improved little if any with
the passage of the McNary- Haugen BILL have not
yet really begun to move. The voice of the masses
of poor and working farmers is yet to be heard,
and when this happens it will hardly sound like the
McNary- Haugen BILL
What will actually happen with the farming

will depend in large measure upon the initiative,
aggressveness and foresight of those organizations
that qualified to speak for the poor and work.
ing farmers. Above all will developments depend
upon the militancy of the farming masses them
selves. 1t is high time that the poor and working
farmers begin to consolidate their forces, clarity
their program, and organize for struggle to demand
actual relief.
Particularly becomes this urgent because the
classes and groups hostile to the poor and working
farmers far from being passive in the situation.
The big capitalists, whose political affairs
managed by the republican administration,
lively engaged in breaking up the opposition of the
farmers by first dividing their ranks. 1t is open
secret that President Coolidge is desperately trying
to fix up understanding with the spokesman of
the middle and rich farmers which would give little
to the middle farmer and nothing at all to the poor
and working farmers. In doing so, President
Coolidge is working not only for his own renomina-
ton against possible fake agraran contenders

MAY DAY celebrations this year bore all the signs
IVA of the beginning of real awakening of the
workers to the dangers of imperialism and imper-
ialist war. Even in the stronghold and citadel of
the steel trust-Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh dis
trict-the spirit and temper of the masses partic-
pating in our meetings was frankly and openly
demonstrated against the war Vaccinations of world
Imperialism, against the on China and the
templated attack upon the Soviet Union Neither
the terror the systematic prosecutions of the
workers by the steel trust and its agents could
prevent the from expressing their loyalty to
international working class solidarity.
An especially gladdening picture presented
by the May Day celebration in East Pittsburgh.
The strenuous efforts of our comrades and their
by the splendid outpouring of the workers, their
wives and children the perfect organization and real
militant spirit that prevailed at the celebration in
East Pittsburgh. The slaves of the Westinghouse
Company, which dominates the town, came to the
celebration in large numbers. Adults and youth,
boys, girls and ehildren-al came to celebrate the
workers holiday. The celebration continued till far
after midnight
The writer Of these lines cannot abstain from ex-
pressing his hearty admiration at the role played
by the pioneers at the East Pittsburgh celebration
They sang and played recited, cheered and demon
strated with such force beauty and enthusiasm that
the faces of the grown-ups became virtually trans
formed and the whole gathering imbued with cour-
age hope and pride in movement and in our
cause. Three cheers for the East Pittsburgh Pion-
GERS. They have given vivid and beautiful
image of the militant generation of working class
fighters that is growing up in the United
States. These will not only carry on our struggles
of today but will them through TO the very end
and bring to final conclusion the defeat of capt.
talism in the United States and the victory Of the
working class.

Editors Note

IT would seem from recent developments that the
imperiasts of the United States not alto
gether ready to play in China the game of Great
Britain or to follow there fully the same tactics
as British Imperialism does. There seems to be
tendency in the ruling circles of big American CAPT
tai in favor of the American government playing
its own game in China, and with its own policies
and tactics Which, of course, will not make Amer
lean policy in China any less imperalist, but only
different from British policy.
How strong this tendency is remains to be seen.
One must not overlook the fact that on several Oc-
casions in recent months the American government
had acted jointly with the British in open attacks
upon the Chinese Nationalist revolution Suffice it
to mention only two of the most outstanding Incl
dents of this character the joint bombardment of
Marking by British and American warships and the
fve-power protest note to the Chinese government
in which participated also the United States These,
along with several more incidents of a similar ma
ture, would indicate quite clearly that there has
been and still is serious danger of the American
government joining hands with the British for
mon military action against China The demand of
No Alliance With British Imperialism Against China
must continue to be pressed with the greatest vgor
and determination if such eventuality is to be
prevented.

THE detection of Chang Kai-shek and his attacks
upon the revolutionary block of the Chinese work
ers and peasants, has had good deal to do with
the so-calIed "pacfic" turn in American policy in
China, Strengthening those elements among the
American imperialists who favor more independ-
ent (of Great Brittany policy in China. This turn
is quite in accord with the traditional, opendoor,
but nevertheless imperialist American policy in
China Due to the fact that the American imperial
lists are comparative newcomers in China they are
less entrenched there than the British in
nomic political and military way. Consequently, the
present day interests Of American Imperialism do
not run so irrevocaby and uncompromisingy in
opposition to the interests of nearly all classes and
groups in China, is the case with British imper-
ialism which finds itself able to cooperate almost
exclusively with the other of the reactionary
Chinese generals representing portions of the feuda
mitaristic cques. British imperialism is fighting
almost the whole of China, whereas American i'm
periaIism could afford to "pacfy" at least the big
native commercial and industrial bourgeoise, in
der to fight effectively the workers and peas
ants Of China which the real backbone of the
revolution.
Chang Kai-sheks betrayal of the revolution
fleets readiness the part of the big Chinese
chants, industrialists and landlords to reach
derstanding with the foreign imperiasts at the
expense Of the Chinese masses And the "pacific"
turn in American imperialist policy in China re-
wards an alliance with these big merchants, indus
tralists and landlords for struggle against
the Chinese workers and peasants and for the joint

AMERICAN Imperialism has its own interests in
A China to look after. And these interests do not
always coincide with those of the other imperalist
powers least of all with the interests of British and
Japanese Imperialism. In fact the larger imperial
ist ambitions of American capitalism in the Far
East and in the world generally almost exactly
contrary to the imperialist policies of both Great
Britain and Japan. Hence, the concentration of
American naval and military forces in China con-
stitutes preparation for war not only against the
Chinese revolution but also for the evenuality of
armed conflict with the mperiast opponents of the
United States such Great Britain and Japan.
The struggle for mperialst domination in China and
for the mastery of the Pacific is of course the chief
objective in the diplomatic maneuvers and military
preparations of the big imperialist powers that is
taking place before very eyes. It is precisely
here that find the greatest danger of new world
imperialist And among the forces which are
working and preparing for it are the imperialists
of the United States.
