war; and if they failed, then the
job would be done in Paul's way,
by the Third international. But
meantime, Bunny was drawn to tn
socialists by his temperament. He
could not call for violence. If there
was to be any the other side must
begin it!
Whatever Ruth may have
thought or felt about the news of
his marriage, she gave no sign but
of pleasure. She had expected it,
she said; Rachel was a fine girl,
who agreed with his ideas, and that
was the main thing. Then she told
him that Paul was expected back
tomorrow, and was to speak at
meeting-his supporters had got
him into the Labor Temple by
much diplomacy, and he would have
a chance to tell the workingmen
about what he had seen in Russia.
Bunny and Rachel must come and
hear him; and Bunny said they
would.
This was the Sunday before cleo
ton day, the end of long political
campaign. The workers had heard
no emo of appeals for their votes
but here was something different,
more important than any election
issues. However hostile the lead
ers of labor might be, it was i'm
possible for the rank and file to
resist the contagion Of this miracle
that was happening on the other
side of the world-a vast empire
where the workers ruled, and were
making their own laws and their
own culture. Paul was fresh from
these scenes; his words were vivid,
he brought the things before your
eyes; the red army, and the red
schools, and the red papers, the
white terror, and the resistance to
capitalist siege on ten thousand
miles of front.
Oh, the fury of the capitalist
press next day! They didn't report
the meeting, but they published
protests about it, and stormed in,
editorials. The LaFollette reds"
were bad enough, but this was an
intolerable outrage - an avowed
Moscow agent, who had been ex-
PEELED from France, permitted to
hold meeting in Angel City and
incite union labor to red riot and
insurrection! What was our police
department for? Where were our
patriotic societies and our Ameri-
can Legion and our other forces of
law and order?
Bunny called up Ruth next morn
ing; he wanted to see Paul, to talk
about the proposed college. Ruth
said that Paul had gone down to
the harbor, to see about addressing
meetings of the longshoremen.
These men had had a big strike
while Bunny was abroad, and had
taken their full course in capitalist
government. Six hundred of them
had been swept up off the street,
for the crime of marching and sing
ing, and had been packed into tanks
with all ventilation shut off, to re-
duce them to silence. A score of
the leaders had been sent to states
prison for ten or twenty years for
criminal syndicalism"; so the rest
ought to be ready to listen to the
Communist doctrine, that the work.
ers had to master the capitalist
state. There was to be an enter
tainment that night in the l. w. w.
hall at the harbor; there would be
music and refreshments, and Paul
thought it would be a good chance
to get acquainted with the leaders.
Bunny said that he and Rachel
were going down to Beach City,
and they might run over and bring
Paul back with them.

THE AWAKENING OF CHINA, BY

g
James H. Dolsen, Daily Worker
Publishing Co., New York. $50.
The headlines about China are
meaningless unless you know some
thing about the forces behind the ma
tionalist movement.
Dolsen's book is an attempt to get
at the CUTS of the Chinese revolution
Ito get at the basic factors which
brought it about and which therefore
shape its character.
Dolsen uses the Marxist method.
He does not bother with the east
west = and-never-the-twain -shall-meet-
claptrap which is the usual explana-
ton for China's attempt to clean out
the foreign imperialists. He digs up
the fundamental economic forces and
shows you how they produced classes
with conflicting sets of interests.
The industrialization of China Gre
ated two new classes-a native bour-
geoisie and native working class.
These two classes are supplying the
fireworks in China today. They are
the backbone of the nationalist move
ment.
The native bourgeoisie wants to get
rid of the foreign imperialists because
it wants to be free to exploit its work
ing class; the working class wants to
get rid Of the foreign imperialists be-
cause it is being savagely exploited.
boys of twelve work eighteen hours
day for about Is cents in the rug
factories at Peking.)
Dolsen analyses the forces which
have brought these new classes into
being. He describes the growing
strength and the consciousness of the
working class which is taking the lead
in the fight for China's liberation.
He describes the murder of Chinese
students and workers at Shanghai and
Shameen in 1925 which gave impetus
to the nationalist movement.
There is one powerful class in China
that Dolsen neglects in his analysis
that is the peasantry. The peasants
who have been burdened with excess
sive taxes and rents that sometimes
amount to four-fifths of their total
crop, are becoming conscious and
forming organizations that are bound
to play an important role in the
Chinese revolution. The role Of the
bourgeoisie is also underestimated by
Dolsen.
Despite his failure to take these
forces into consideration, "The Awak-
ening of China" is by all odds tha
best book in the English language on
the Chinese revolution. It's the only
attempt that's been made at scien-
tific analysis Of the forces underlying
the nationalist movement, movement
which directly involves the destiny of
436,000,00O people.

Daring BOatmen
Navigating The
Colorado River

Under the leadership of CLYDE L.
Eddy of New York City, the expedi-
tion making a trip by boat down the
Colorado River from Green River,
Utah to Needles, California, arrived
at the headquarters of Grand Canyon
national park on July %, where few
days are being spent resting from the
arduous trip and replenishing food
supplies.
The party which is composed mainly
of college students seeking adventure,
coupled with opportunity for geolog-
icai research and study, includes ten
men, to say nothing of dog which
has made the entire trip and cub
bear captured in Cataract Canyon.
Representatives from the following
universities make up the party: Notre
Dame, Coe, Northwestern, Louisiana
and Harvard.
The equipment includes a motion
picture camera with which some ex-
ceptional scenic shots of the river and
its rapids have been made. Mr.. Eddy
plans later to use these views in con-
nection with a feature motion picture
play and also to publish in book form
the results of his trip.
Farley M. Galloway of Salt Lake
City, son of Nick Galloway, a pioneer
riverman and Canyon guide, is acting
as chief boatman. In spite of the fact
that the party encountered the flood
water stage when the flow of the
Colorado river reached discharge of
$4,000 second feet on July 1, they
have had exceptionally good luck
throughout as is evidenced by the fact
that the 472 miles from Green River

Aged Indians Will
Run Five-Mile Race
At Gallup Aug. "a

An unusual event is this year to be
added to the sports program of the
Inter- Tribal Indian Ceremonial at
Gallup, New Mexico, August I'd, rs
and &c.
This is to be a five-mile foot race
for Indian men, with minimum age
limit of IA years. Six aged Indians
have already entered, the youngest be-
ing almost too young, having just
turned IA, and the others ranging from
that age up to nearly 80. 1t is ex-
pected that a score or more will line
up at the starters tape.
This race has been put on the cere-
monial program at the request of the
Indians themselves, a number Of old
members of the Zuni tribe making the
petition.
The Zunis are noted for their en-
durance and speed ON foot. In the In
dian war days Zunis were used by the
u. S. forces as messengers, and it was
no unusual feat for Zuni messenger
to travel so to 100 miles in day, and
some have been known to cover as
much as 125 miles between sunrise
and sunset.
Western Indians are being ac-
claimed the greatest runners of the
world today, the national record for
the marathon being held by Chief
Quanawahu, Hopi, who captured the
honor on May Is of this year at New
