THE reactionaries have recaptursd
a Canton from the revolutionists &C.
cording to news dispatches from
Shanghai, and wholesale executions of
workers are taking place. This Ia
bad news if it is true The Car
was able to crush the Russian revo-
luton of 1905 with the aid of foreign
money, but he was not able to crush
the revolution of 1917 despite foreign
aid. 1t crushed him. And the Chi
nese revolution will succeed because
there is no power on earth able to
hold over 400,000,000 workers and
peasants in subsection forever.
AND the recapture of Canton may
"A be only a temporary success for
the reactionaries. How much the
landing of American guns in Canton
had to do with the change in the stu
alton is not yet known here. But even
II the guns were not used they were
calculated to exert a moral influence
in favor of the bourgeois forces. The
stage is now set for struggle be-
tween the workers and peasants of
China under the leadership of the
| Communists, and the bourgeoisie with
Chang Kai-shek groomed for the role
| of Fascist leader.
GENATOR James A. Reed of Mis-
souri, would widen the scope of
the investigation into the charges
made against the Mexican government
by William Randolph Hearst. What
concerns the senate is the charge that
Gales appropriated money to bride
four United States senators. There
is a powerful imperialist group in
this country which is constantly seek
ing to force the government into
hostile action against Mexico. Hearst
is now taking a leading part in this
effort. And tho the owners of the
Chicago Tribune and the New York
Daily News are usually at loggerheads
with Hearst they are now at one with
him in his Mexican policy.
THE injection of CDR" Joseph Noz-
ovitsky, the stool-pigeon, into the
news is new development which adds
force to the theory that the documents
published by Hearst are the product
OF a gigantic forgery syndicate~which
operates on an international scale.
Hearst would without any doubt not
hesitate to knowingly publish forger-
les. For reasons of his own he wants
war with Mexico. And the reasons
are related to his unsuccessful efforts
to secure special concessions in
Mexico from the Gales government.
HENATOR Reed has always been a
pet of the Hearst press and his
motive in breaking into the investiga-
ton already under way is not yet en-
tirely clear. But the Missouri SEN
ator has also been invariably friendly
with the insurgent senators whose
names are connected in the Hearst
forgeries with Gales money. The
original committee appointed by the
senate to investigate the Hearst
charges is under the craftsmanship of
the reactionary David A. Reed of
Pennsylvania. 1t is not likely that
Reed of Missouri will find himself in
harmony with this committee.
IN yesterdays New York American,
an editorial in large bold type at 4
tackled the so-called good will flight"
of Lindbergh to Mexico. Anybody
with grain of political sense in his
head knows that the hackers of the
Lindbergh flight have no good in
tentions towards the Mexican masses.
They would rather catch their flies
with molasses at the moment than try
vinegar on them. Dwight Morrow
and the interests that he represents
in the American embassy in Mexico
are using Lindbergh to hypnotic the
Mexican people into the belief that
Wall Street has friendly feelings to-
wards them. Hearst and his gang are
using forgeries instead of flying
machines to accomplish their purpose.
Between the two gangs of imperialist
hi-jackers Mexico is in no enviabye
position.
If Governor Johnson of Oklahoma
heard of the famous Earl Carroll
bath tub party and what happened to
Earl as a result of it, he should be
able to settle his little troubles with
the refractory legislators who are
trying to impeach him. The silly
solons staged pajama party in
local hotel. 1t is a .well-known fact
that vote taken in night clothes has
no standing in court and furthermore
such proceedings are violation of !
the moral standards of any state, iny
GLIDING Oklahoma. If the governor
is a good politician he will shift THE
issue from his relations with his
