issues. Theoretical and practical diff
ferences have arisen between various
elements of the party. Drastic solu-
tons are suggested. 1t is because l
feel that the carrying out of some of
these suggested solutions would de-
stroy the strength Of the party and
delay the success of the revolution,
that / must speak. These solutions
seem to me a part Of a policy which
would ALLEVIATE and suppress the
classes upon which our strength
largely depends and for which the
revolution must be fought. Such a
policy, l feel, is doomed to failure.
This is time for honesty and cour-
age. There have been mistakes, but
the fact that some Of us are unwill-
ing to face is that we are at least
as responsible for many Of these mis-
takes as those whom we would now
hold completely at fault. If we look
back honestly at the past months in
Wuhan, examine our words and deci-
sions unflinchingly, we cannot evade
this responsibility. Speeches, state
ments are recorded in the history of
the party. But now we would shirk
the responsibility shift it to other
shoulders.
Eyes. There have been mistakes
but we must face the fact that they
are not only others mistakes; they
are our own as well. We have helped
to make them; we must correct them.
Moreover, for revolutionary mistakes,
revolutionary solutions must be
found We must not betray the peo-
pie. We have built up in them a
great hope. They have placed in us
a great faith. To that faith, we owe
our final allegiance.

ciple that answers the questions of
social changes in China.
"This Third Principle was felt by
DR.. Sun to be basic in our revolution.
In this principle we find his analysis
of social values and the place of the
laboring and peasant classes defined.
These classes become the basis of our
strength in our struggle to overthrow
imperialism, cancel the unequal trea-
ties that enslave US, and effectively
unity the country. These are the new
pillars for the building up of a new
free China. Without their support,
the Kuomintang, as a revolutionary
party, becomes weak, chaotic and il
logical in its social platform; with
out their support, political issues are
vague. If we adopt any policy that
weakens these supports, we shake the
very foundation of our party, betray
the masses and are falsely loyal to
our Leader
Exposes Drift Of Traitors.
To-day there is much talk of poll
cy. DR.. Sun defined three policies,
which he decided were the only means
by which his Three Principles could
be carried out. But today it is being
said that policies must be changed to
fit the needs Of the time. There is
some truth in this statement, but
change Of policy should never be car
ried to point where it becomes a
reversal, so that a revolutionary par
ty ceases to be revolutionary and be-
comes merely an organ, operating un-
der the banner of revolution, but ac-
tually working in support of very So
cial structure which the party was
founded to alter.
"At the moment we face critical

Or Sun came from the people. He
has told me a great deal about his
early days. He came from the peas
antry His father was a farmer and
the people in his district were farm
ers.
CDR. Sun was poor. Not until he
was fifteen years old did he have
shoes for his feet, and he lived in a
billy region where it is not easy to
be a barefoot boy. His family, until
he and his brother were grown, lived
almost from hand to mouth, in a hut.
AS child he ate the cheapest food
not rice, for rice was too dear. His
main nourishment was sweet pota-
toes.
"Many times DR.. Sun has told me
that it was in those days, as a poor
son of poor peasant family, that
he became a revolutionary. He was
determined that the lot Of the
Chinese peasant should not continue
to be so wretched, that little boys in
China should have shoes to wear and
rice to eat. For this ideal, he gave
forty years of his life.
"Yet today the lot of the Chinese
peasant is even more wretched than
in those days when DR.. Sun was
driven by his great sense of human
wrongs into life Of revolution And
today men, who profess to follow his
banner, talk of classes and think in
terms of a revolution" that would
virtually disregard the sufferings OF
those millions of poverty-stricken
peasants of China.
To-day also we hear condemnation
of the peasant and labor movement as
recent, alien product. This is
false. Twenty, thirty years ago, DR.

BANDITS LOOT
Armed HoId-up Men Escape
After Three Quick Rob-
berries.

In less than two hours Wednesday
night, bandits held up a doctor,
car owner and a filling station at
tendant. The loot consisted of dia.
mond stick pin, money and a new
auto. Police have no trace of the
robbers.
Henry Ridgely, 1924 N. Talbot
Ave-, told police he walked out of
his home to get in his auto, and as
he reached the sidewalk two men ac-
costed him and commanded, Get in
the car" One pulled out gun, push
ing it into his side.
Ridgely said he sat between the
men while one of them drove the
auto. At a point between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth SITS. on Pierson
Ave., the trio got out of the car.
After the bandits searched him and
took $3.50, they returned a dime to
him, Ridgely said, and ordered him
to walk south. The bandits drove
away in his auto, a new Nash, H.

out of the auto and pushed the at
tendant back into the station,
where he ordered the contents of
the safe and cash register be handed
to him. Gratner told police he gave
about $50 to the bandit, who ran to
his auto and drove west. He was
in a car reported stolen from Don

JOINT BID. WILL

A motion will be heard in the Ap-

penalties totalling $4,000 imposed
by Supreme Court Justice Erlanger
upon Louis Hyman, manager, and
seventeen other leaders of the New
York Joint Board of the Cloak and
Dressmakers' Union, for violating an
anti-picketing injunction. Judge Nc
Avoy Of the Court of Appeals grant
ed stay of the execution of the SEN
tence.
An editorial appearing in "The
New York Law Journal" a profess
sional daily newspaper Of court news,
criticizes Judge Erlanger for over
stepping his authority. Boudin and
Wittenberg, attorneys for the Joint
Board, are confident of reversal of
this sentence, which means jail for
the defendants on their failure to pay
the penalty. Of the total penalty,
$4,000 is listed as damages for the
employers.

WAGE Increase
TO FOOL MINERS

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 30.-In an
obvious effort to get the striking
miners to return to the coal pits, the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. today an
nounced wage increase for coal min
ers in it's southern mines. The basic
wage is now set at $6.52, and is eff
fective January /.
A. S. Embree, organizer of the
Colorado mine strike, now in New
York to address a relief meeting next
Monday, said here last night that the
raise announced by the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co., a Rockefeller concern,
amounts to only thirty-two cents, and
not one dollar as announced in de-
spatches from Denver.
Last September" Embree said,
1.-The basic wage was $5.52. After we
had served notice of the strike but
before the men actually walked out,
the company announced wage raise
of sixty-eight cents, making the scale
$500. This does not interfere with
the walk-out, however, and will not
bait the strikers into returning to the
mines"
1t is pointed out that the c. F. & l.
Co. has been able to recruit compara-
lively few scabs in the present strike.
Moreover, the absence of union or
ganization makes it possible for the
company to repudiate the present Gin
crease" and revert to the old scale.
