Asks Kuomintang Purg-
ing in Open Letter

HANKOW, June 16.-The Central
Committee of the Chinese Commun-
list Party has addressed an open let
ter to the Central Committee of the
Kuomintang regarding the situation
in Human, where it declares, "the rev.
olution is passing thru a critical per-
iod of its development"
"The fundamental problem in HUI
nan Province" the letter states, "is
the realization Of certain agrarian re-
form measures. The moment has
come for putting into action the
agrarian policy. This is the histori-
cal task of the Kuomintang. The
future of the revolution depends upon
the energetic action of the Kuomin-
tang in this matter"
Referring to the betrayal of the
revolution by Chang Kai-shek, the
letter continues, "The beginning of
the agricultural revolution drove the
reactionary elements in the Kuomin-
tang to counter-revolutionary actions.
The feudal militaristic elements took
up arms in an open war against the
peasantry and threatened the down.
fall of the Kuomintang and the Ma
tionalistic Governments.
Soldiers Support Peasantry
"The aggressive actions of the re-
dictionaries has caused some hesita-
tion in revolutionary quarters. They
fear that if agrarian reforms are ef-
fected the Nationalist armies will
take a hostile position. This is not

SUICIDE SHIP CARRIES
MUNITIONS FOR NAVY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Trans-
portation Of all sorts Of materials,
ranging from anchors to tin Of
sardines, between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts is made possible
through the Naval Transportation
Service, one Of the littleknown de-
partments of the government.
Dubbed the suicide ship be-
cause of the dangerous cargo in her
hold, the L. $. s. Nitro is probably
the most important ship of the fleet.
She performs the hazardous duty of
carrying ammunition, explosives
and inflammables between coasts
and although the vessel has been
operated continuously at maximum
capacity during the past year, no
mishap has occurred.
The Naval Transportation Service
is self-supporting and at the same
time trains Officers and men in
transport duty. In the maintenance
of this service, the Navy Depart
ment has developed skeleton or
ganization which in time of emer-
genev can be quickly expanded into
