GRAND MASTER ODD FELLOWS DECLARES HIMSELF ARDENT
 BOOSTER HENCEFORTH

T have traveled many hundreds I0f miles since I hit Alaska and ] have enjoyed every inch of the way, said J. P. BUrson, banker of Tekoa, Wn., and Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of Washington and Alaska, who returned Saturday
 rom hunting trip down the
 Renai Peninsula and who departed for his home on the s. s. North western. He brought in a good sig led moose and black bear and i went lis way rejoicing.
 This is surely one of the wonder lands of the earth and a marvellous country. Henceforth I am a dis iciple of progress for Alaska and an e1toller of her greatness and oppor- tunities. I will tell all my friends to come and have a Iooksee' and will raise up my voice at every op- portunity that Alaska's needs be mot neglected"
 At the Seward Hotel where he was staying he told of the trip dur ing which he was in the care of Frank ToWle Of Cooper's Landing, and was enthusiastic in praise of his guide.
 We had our first snow Wednes- day night and mushed thru eight inches of it the next day. Talk about snow, why this country isn't in it with Washington where I've seen much heavier snOWs earlier in the season. That man ToWle is a real 'crackajack'. When it comes to knowing his stuff in the woods he is there 6 million. He knows how to get where he's going and how to get back and he certainly knows where to locate the game. We saw seven moose and a number Of bear. We could undoubtedly found much more game had we cared to go farther afieid, but my time was limited 50 we c0ntented ourselves with short expeditions"
 While in Alaska Mir Burson visit ed all the Odd Fellows Lodges in the Territory with the exception of Nome. He is hurrying South to meet his brother who had come to Seattle from the East.

ment found that before it could help

China would have to be ridded of
the imperialists who controlled the
basic industries and railroads, who
had enslaved the country with fl
nancial obligations which meant that
the Chinese people were continually
paying them tribute. Kuomintang
called on the peasantry to help to
struggle against the militarists and
imperialists. This call was enthusi-
astically hailed by the peasantry.
Millions of peasants organized them
selves in peasant unions, aided the
Kuomintang troops on the front
lines, bringing them supplies and
struggling against the cohntry-re-
volutionaries in the rear.

communal lands and great sums of
money have been preserved in the
Chinese villages. These lands and
financial resources are managed by
cliques, who are never elected by the
villages, pass on this common hertz
age of the peasants to their own
descendants. Neither do they ac-
count for their actions to the peas
ant masses, but administer the. COM
mon property as if it were their
own. They maintain armed bands
of hooligans, with whose help they
are now virtually masters of the
villages. With outrage and violence
they compel the peasants under
various pretexts-and indeed with
out them-to make them gifts, to
entertain them, and so on.
The third cause is the tyranny of
the usurer. Plundered by the land
owner and the gentry, the Chinese
peasant finds that he never has suf-
ficient products to tide him over
until the next harvest. There is no
cheap credit in the Chinese villages!
The peasant therefore has to make
his loans with the local usurer, but
the interest that he is compelled to
pay on them is stupendous even for
this Asiatic country. Fifty per cent
interest on the loan is considered

Rumania FasCists Torture

Translated from "Inainte," Ru-

HOMRADE Vasile Dodan, a shoe
" worker was freed the first week
of October from the jail of Doftana.
Arrested in December, 1924 by the
"siguaranta" of Bucharest, he was
subjected to all known tortures, tried
by military judges and sentenced in
June, 1925 to 8 years in Jail for
Communist propaganda. He served
his term in the jails of Jilava, We
carest, Galati and Doftana. He tells
Us of terrible conditions; disgusting
meals, airless rooms, without heat or
light, dirty, and damp. He tells of
savage punishment, fettered, and
solitary confinement, beatings; not
permitted to read books, news
papers; refused visitors.
II came out a very sick man, y
says Dodan, but all / have suffered
far from frightened me, on the con-
trary it instilled in me the convic-
ton that the. ideas for which
fought were correct and true. Only
against the truth and against force
they take such savage measures. We
are force today and we have on
our side the historical truth. Capt.
talism that sends against US all its
strength will soon see the formidable
power of the working class rising
against it.

The comrades remained very short
time in the hospital. Besides the
regime in the hospital is not any
different. The food is rotten. They
give US kind of a borsch of beans
or potatoes with 'mamaliga' (corn-
meal pudding). We have meat there
three times week. And what kind
OF meat? When it's hard it is all
bone and senew, when the meat is
soft it swarms with worms. Many
times we had to refuse the meat.
They feed us mamaliga, but since
the last hunger strike which took
place about three months ago we
won the right to 400 grams of bread
daily and now we have 600 grams.
For this we fought and won. For
drinking we have water directly
from the river. 1t is abominable.
Linen and clothing is not given by
the government. The political pri-
soners sleep in the cell on straw
mats.
'The flooring of the cell is of
asphalt, and the ceiling is of iron.

hates the political prisoners. The ex-

and sometimes beats us up. For
whole days we were punished at sec
ton "H" cells, with chains on hands

Millions Starve.
The incessant warfare that be-
gan between the militarists after
the 1911 Revolution, is running the
whole country and completely under
mining agriculture. The militarists
requisition the PEASANTS grain and
force them to enter the army and
act as beasts of burden for their
officers and masters. The soldiers
pillage the village and rape the wo-
men. But when some catastrophe
(such as flood or draught), is added
to the exploitation and plumber of
the militarists the situation becomes
so critical that millions of peasants
are doomed to hunger and death.
At the present moment there are
100000 peasants starving in the
Shantung province alone.

ment arose it promised the peasants
to lower rents by 25 per cent, to
