SHANGHAI, (FP) Oct. 1.-Two
bananas slip quietly out of a basket
on the wharf and into the pocket of
Chinese street urchin. This urchin
is an aristocrat among the Shanghai
street arabs. He has a blue cotton
jacket in addition to a shirt and a
pair of trousers.
The urchin moves away from the
wharf. But he does not get far. A
Hindu detective has seen him take
the bananas. The chase is soon over.
The detective, armed with a long,
heavy bamboo cane grabs the small
boy by the shoulder, and despite his
protests and cries strikes him fiercely
with the cane. Many Chinese stand
about but they offer no protest. They
have learned that only mass protests
count. They can wait! But they look
their hate at this six-foot man beat
ing the lad.
Perhaps they might have done
something, even in this case had they
not been within stones throw of
Sikh policeman, standing observant
with his rifle in his hands.
The British have established their
flying school in the grounds at the
race track. From early morning till
late at night the military planes
whirl and circle. The Chinese Com
missioner of Foreign Affairs for
Shanghai protests against this viola
ton of Chinese territory. The letters
go into the waste basket. British
officials do not even deign to make an
acknowledgment. The planes go on
flying over Chinese territory. Is that
not answer enough?
British guards, Italian guards,
French guards, posted here and there
with rifles and naked bayonets. Com
panies drilling and parading to mill
tary music. The Chinese stand in
crowds, looking on. There is nothing
else that they can do. now.
Out on the waterfront lie the battle
ships, in plain sight from the business
center. They lie there, day after
day, idle guns, trained on the city.
The Chinese look and say nothing.

From the Working Men and Women of the
Factory RED Rosa Moscow

Of the experiences we went through
in three revolutions, and thanks to
the firm guidance which the working
class of. the Soviet Union received
from the Communist Party of the
Bolsheviki and it's leader, Vladimir,
Ilyitch Lenin, we gained victory
over our bourgeoisie in October 1917.
You, American workers, at least the
majority of you are still under the
leadership of those yellow leaders
who deceive you by telling you that
in the bourgeois republic of the Uni
ted States, democracy" exists, which
protects the working class with laws
before which all are equal. That is
lie. We remember that in your coun-
try exists a dictatorship of the bour-
geoisie, and you yellow leaders drag
at the tail of that bourgeoisie, and
like traitors, deceive you and help in
directly in bringing about such
shameful events as the execution of
our best fighters, who devoted their
whole lives to the working class by
the American bourgeoisie, who, at the
present moment, WELD the financial
lash. over the whole world excepting
the U. S. S. R.
With that execution they intended
to brighten you, but my dear brothers

and farmers of the United States, we
are certain that the execution of
Sacco and Vanzetti will not only not
brighten you, but will serve as les
son for you, that between capital and

such executions from taking place, it

NOTE.-Enclosed is a translation
of letter from worker-corre-
spondent from Moscow. The writer,
Comrade Kantorovich, was once an
American worker in the silk mills
of Paterson, and was deported to
Russia in 1920 as a victim of the
Palmer red raids. Ever since then
Comrade Kantorovich has been
working in the factory in Moscow.
NEAR Comrades, American workers:
~ Today, on the twenty-third of
August, 1927, at eleven o'clock in the
morning, we workers of the factory
"Red Rosa" heard of that shameful
execution of two Of the finest fight
ers of the American working class,
who had devoted all their lives and
energies to the revolutionary labor
movement. Words fail us to express
the horror which we felt against the
hangmen of the American bour-
geoisie, when we heard of the execu-

That execution will serve as les
son for the proletariat of the world
as a whole, and for the American pro-
letariat in particular, the lesson which
Marx and Lenin taught us-that be-
tween the mutually antagonistic
classes of the bourgeoisie and the
proletariat no understandings can be
reached, and that expectations of
mercy from the class enemy, can ee
harbored only by naive people.
We Russian workers, who ex-
perienced many such lessons, and who
paid dearly for them many times,
wish to remind you of our lesson of
the 9th of January, 1905, in Lenin-
grad, when we Russian workers, as a
reply to our pleas, were shot down in
masses on the streets of ST. Peters
burg, of the uprising in December of
