SOCIALIST ORGAN
is SPLIT over
CHIANG'S TREASON

What may develop into new split
in the socialist party for Abraham
Cahan, was indicated today when the
latest edition of the New Leader, So
cialist party organ, appeared on the
streets with Norman Thomas and
James Oneal locking hcrns in deadly
combat over the recent split in the
Koumintang Party of China.
DR.. Thomas is severe IN his con-
domination Of Chang Kai-SheR and
brands him as traitor TO the Ma
tionalist movement, even going so far
as to accuse him Of having received
British gold, which is going far for
such a cautious person as DR..
Thomas.
To quote from his column
Timely Topics:
''In no proper sense is the sorry
split in the ranks of the Chinese Ma
tionalist party q matter of principle
or a right and left wing division. Gen.
Chang masks his own treason to the
Nationalist movement by the familiar
talk of the wickedness of the Reds.
Apparently he is without support,
save his own troops, the money of
some Chinese merchants, and perhaps
some British gold. He is charged
with not accounting for $780,
100000 of Nationalist money and of
having reached a virtual understand
ing with the Northern militarists.
Whatever offenses Chinese Com
munists in Hankow may have COM
mitted against Chinese unity they are
insignificant in comparison with
Chiang's criminal detection. In the
long run he is likely to fall. In the
meantime he has thrown Chinese .af-
fairs into new chaos. One way or
another the powers may take adj
vantage of that chaos. If they do they
will only add to Chinese bitterness. 1t
is highly important TO remember that
not the Northern militarists nor
Chang himself, although perhaps
they may at times be paid tools of
foreigners, British or Japanese, have
dared to talk anything but the Ian
guage Of relentless opposition to the
unequal treaties"
Lest the New Leader might be ac-
cused of one-sidedness James Oneal
takes up the cudgels for Chang on the
editorial page, which is not out of
harmony with his support of the
A. f. of L. officials who are aiding
the bosSes and bomb squad in trying
to send furriers and left wing MEM

Macdonald LOIIS In
Embassy Of Britain
SnGerS at Strikers
By LAURENCE TODD
Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 22.--J. Ram
say Macdonald came to Washington
on April 20 and found it all dressed
up to meet him. He sat in the Brit.
ish embassy and answered questions
from press correspondents. He had
lunch with Sir Esme Howard, the Tory
ambassador, and a number of guests
including Sen. Borah and President
Green and Secretary Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor, with
Secretary of Labor Davis.
In the evening, the A. f. of L. gave
him a dinner at the Hamilton Hotel
dinner for go trade union officials
with a few public officeholders to
round out the occasion.
SANDERS General Strike
Talking to the press men, MacDon-
aid said the general strike had "struck
labor generally" and because it had
proved disastrously expensive to the
strength of the labor movement he did
not think it would be repeated in a
long while.
He attacked Secretary Cook of the
British Miners Federation, saying
that Cook is strong trade unionist
at in the morning, but by 10 he is
syndicalist, by IL is advocating poll
teal action, and by afternoon is again
relying on industrial action. His own
defeat at the hands of Cooks sup
porters, for nomination for treasurer
of the Independent Labor Party, he
dismissed as being Of slight conse-
quence. He said he would now be
nominated by possibly 70 organiza-
tions, and expected to win bigger
vote than last year, in the Labor Party
as a whole.
On China.
When asked about the new situation
in China, created by the anti-red move
Of Chang Kai-Shek, Macdonald said
that the foreign powers are respons-
ible for all that has happened. He
did not discuss the class issue in the
Chinese revolution. The interview
was cut short by the hour for Sir
Esme Towards luncheon, at that
point.
Macdonald answered a question as
to his connection with the Jewish
Daily Forwards anniversary celebra-
ton in New York, by explaining that
he writes a London letter for that
paper, and hence was asked to speak
at its anniversary celebration, but he
denied that the paper was paying his
expenses on his American trip.

Jail. Here is what Oneal has to say:
"The split in the ranks Of the Chi
nese Nationalists is wide, and civil
war is waged between the two fac
tions. The Communists have set up
in business at Hankow and the anti
Communists at Marking. In Moscow
the Communists are terribly shocked
because CHARACTERISTICS HAS
EXECUTED SOME OF HIS COM
MUNIST OPPONENTS and is carry
ing the war into the opposition camp.
With the Moscow braves record Of
executions, jailings and exiting of So
cialists, Chang probably thought it
wise to give his opponents dose of
their own medicine. We note that
Earl Browder of the American Com
munist Party, Tom Mann of England
and M. Doriot have gone to Hankow
to advise the Communists. Chang
has issued statement telling what
happened"
The socialist officials have little
use for a united front even among
themselves but they seem TO enjoy
q divided rear.

Save for your old age!

for lapsed policy.
How to Sell 1t.
have before me a booklet issued
by the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, The largest life insurance
company in the world and the biggest
seller of weekly payment life insur-
anee in America. The pamphlet is
called "Talks to New Agents"
1t is a short course in how to sell
industrial insurance. 1t says, "Peo-
pie buy life insurance because of
statesmen who sell it to them. Your
processes, stripped bare, nay some-
ftimes mean to plead, coax, drum or
urge men into insuring their lives;
but the more you apply cleverness-
the greater your success" Nice busi-
ness--plead, coax, drum! Further on
it says, "Keep cost in the back
ground"
The cost is so excessive that as soon
as it is mentioned the prospect will
fight shy, therefore it is advisable to
keep cost in the background. Get him
het up about his old age, about the
poorhouse, about anything, but don't
mention cost. After you have scared
the wits out of him, then you may
mention cost it won't matter
then.
Get TO Their Hearts.
The booklet goes on to illustrate
how to get at your prospects heart
strings: Suppose the case of, say,
your uninsured neighbor, a good risk,
aged 40, who earns a nice salary. He
adores his little son, the cutest little
four-year-old in the world. You
hand the child small gift and the
father is greatly pleased because the
toy is a JOY to the boy" This is
known as sales technique! Great
stuff.
Still further, "You must pour out
the water of life insurance until the
rock of resistance sinks out of sight
but you must pour it out with tact.
Tact does not present a proposal (of
lnsurance) with a crowd around; does
not begin canvass with talk about
cost; does not show many figures;
does not dwell on surrender values;
does not leave sample policies until
asked for. :"
From the beginning of his novitiate
the new agent is primed to forget
cost IN talking to his prospect. AS
stated in the little lesson above, he
must never talk about surrender val
ues. Why should he. When the poor
dupe discovers what his surrender
values really are it is usually too late.
Don't show figuresl Of course not.
they are unfavorable to the company.
They expose the prima facie fraud.
No, talk about the weather, bring the
son a toy, kiss the baby, but don't
mention cost. Don't show figures
and above all don't leave sample pol
icies. II might give the game away.
1t is due to the terrific number of
weekly payment lapses that the enor-
nous big -Four" assets Keep pyra-
miding year after year. During 1925,
conservatively estimated, the "Big
Four" made upwards Of $4,000, 900,
on forfeitures on lapsed policies. But
did the 40 million industrial" policy
holders benefit by these profits? Did
the mutual" directors lower the cost
Of insurance?

Bids for Support.
SHANGHAI, April %. - Chang
Kai-shek is making an open bid for
imperialist support, it was learned
from authoritative sources today.
He is prepared to offer the i'm
perialist powers full indemnity for
foreign lives lost and property dam
aged at Marking, without making
counter-demands for PREPARATIONS for
thousands Of Chinese killed and valu-
able property destroyed by the i'm
perialist bombardment of the city, it
is reported.
Sections of Marking were totally
destroyed by British and American
gun-fire during the bombardment of
the city, according to w. De Crosse,
an eyewitness.
That Chang Kai-shek may form an
open alliance with Chang Tso-lin,
Manchurian war lord, was intimated
by De Crosse, who is connected in a
semi-official capacity with Chang
Kai-shek.
Chang is also curTying the favor
of foreign imperialists and native
manufacturers by issuing warrants
for the wholesale arrest and execu-
ton of labor leaders.

rest of 116 Nationalist leaders, in

other Russians are included among
those for whom warrants are issued.
