HUGE Chinese
ARMIES CLASH
OUTSIDE PEKIN
Attacking HordeS Hurled
Back by ManChurian
War Lord.
DEFENSE IS SURPRISE
Chang Tso Lin offers Far
More Opposition Than
Expected.


LONDON, May 25.-Fighting was
believed proceeding between North
ern and Southern Chinese troops
outside Pekin today, with the forces
Of Chang Tso Lin showing far more
resistance than had been expected.
Last week as the Nationalist arm
les advanced on a double front to-
wards Pekin and Tientsin, the fall
of the Northern capital was pre-
dicted mOmentarily. Observers be-
lieved that if Chang did not re-
treat into Manchuria, his forces soon
would be defeated by the two strong
armies from the South.
Meager details of this major en-
gagement between the Northern and
Southern groups, however, indicated
Chang Tso Lin had predicted cor
rectly when in a recent statement
he said:
I'VE are prepared militarily to
protect Pekin."
There were reports current that
in some spots along the semi-cir-
cular battle front-Which extends
from Nankou pass through Paoting-
Fu-the Nationalist were retreating
slightly.
Chang Tso Lin had urged peace,
meanwhile announcing he was ready
TO defend his position. The Man
churian leader always has insisted
he was working for Chinese unity
and after the recent Tsinan incident
urged the Southern armies to cease
their attack and combine for a uni
| fed China.

WHITE TERRORISM
Soviet Union Consul
Reaches Moscow

MOSCOW, (By MaiD On Febru-
airy LIST, the former Consul Of the u.
S. S. R. in Canton, Pokhvalinsky, ar
rived from China. In an interview
given to correspondent of the
''Trud," Pohvalinsky described the at
rocities perpetrated on the employees
of the Consulate, who fell into the
hands of the rabid Chinese mill
tarists.
On December 18th, Canton was
taken by the revolutionary workers.
A Soviet Government was formed by
workers deputies and a Council of
Peoples Commissaries elected. The
new government had to fight from
the very outset against the rapidly
forming organizations Of the White
Guard. The fate of the town was
decided by Ii Fulin's forces which
were situated on the Honan island.
They succeeded in breaking into Cam
ton. As soon as they arrived they
started to avenge themselves on the
workers who remained in the city.
"We," says Pokhvalinsky, "were in
the Consulate and watched the battles
through our window.
I'm the evening, at supper time, we
were informed that the Consulate is
surrounded. The soldiers started to
break through the gate. Within a
few minutes we opened the gates. All
of us present in the Consulate were
arrested, brutally bound and des-
patched to the General Staff. Here
we were put on the floor, all of us,
including the women, had our hands
and feet bound and were tied to iron
bars. -. In this condition we were
kept until the morning. Many of us
tainted during the night.
I'm the morning the officers ar
rived and called out our names. The
first one called was Comrade Has
sis, followed by Hakarov, Ukolov,
Ivanov.

to be shot.

'They were taken away and we
never saw them again. :. After a
while we recognized their bodies by
their photographs.

tions in jail and only after the inter-
ference of the German Consul were
we sent out of China"

MAKE PLANS FOR
GROWTH OF USSR
OIL PRODUCTION
Soviet Representatives
Here Seek Big Loan

In order to accelerate the develop
ment of the already rapidly growing
Soviet oil industry, two representa-
tives of the Anzeft State Oil Trust
are in New York seeking loan Of
$10,000,000, it was learned yesterday.
The loan will go to the purchase Of
refinery equipment, machinery and
pipe line construction.
The new pipe lines and refineries
are expected to add 21,000,000 bar
rels to the annual capacity, according
to statement issued by the Amtorg
Trading Corporation.
A ten-inch pipe line is already being
built between Baku and Batoum
which, is expected to permit the ex-
port of oil in much greater quantities
than before. Another pipe line has
been undertaken in the north in the
Grozny district. The present refinery
capacity at Grozny is 22,000,0o0 bar
rels year. This, it is expected, will
be increased 100000 barrels an
nually by new construction.
The two Soviet Union oil represen-
tatives, Oparin and Surabekoff, plan
to visit the largest petroleum fields
in the United States and to study
American methods of production.

DECREE
TO BAR WORKERS

Only Citizens Paying
Heavy Taxes to Vote

ROME, Feb. 21.-Two bills pre-
scented by Mussolini which would limit
voting to fascist and would bar
workers from the polls were approved
by the Council of Ministers yesterday.
Only those of age who pay at least
100 lire yearly in taxes or own at
least 500 lire in state consols will be
permitted to vote. Few workers in
Italy pay 100 lire annually in taxes
in spite of the high tax rate. The
scale of wages barely reaches an ex-
istence level and in many industrial
centers falls below it.
In order to increase the birth rate,
vote will be permitted to men from
Is to 81 years of age who are married
and have children.
