ALARMS BRITISH
SHANGHAI POLICE
Walk-Outs Officially
Listed as Crimes

SHANGHAI, Jan. 4.-Strikes are
classified as crimes in the report Of
the police commissioner Of the Inter
national Settlement here who issued
a report yesterday on the crime wave
in Shanghai. Strikes in Shanghai
have shown a considerable increase
lately.
After reporting that there were
twelve armed abductions, 1877 rob
berries and twenty-three strikes in No
vember," the Commissioner declares:
From the criminal point of view,
November was the most serious in po-
lice records, labor troubles, strikes,
intimidation, murder, armed robbery
and armed kidnapping having increas-
ed to an alarming degree.
"If this state of affairs is allowed
to continue, the impression will soon
be created that state of anarchy ex-
lists in Shanghai with which the police
are unable to cope. Present crime
is due to a number of reasons, among
which is the fact that the Chinese au-
thorities are . unable to deal with
unauthorized labor unions, intimida-
tors and agitators who have bases
outside the settlement"

FARMERS PROTEST

TOXIC, Jan. 1.-Two thousand poor
tenant farmers after holding a dem

ed the houses of a number of land
lords at Gifu before being dispersed
by the clubs of the police.
Police are alarmed at the rapid in

There are at present at least 1900, 900
tenant farmer families in Japan which
can barely exc out an existence from
their small landholdings on which
they have to pay heavy rents.
Most of the rentals are still based
on wartime land valuations and have
not been reduced in spite of the lower
prices which the tenant farmer gets
for his produce.

colonists by system Of strict gov
eminent loans reducing to virtual

the convenience of the. imperialist
government. 1t is opposed to the idea
of British commission on constitu-
tional reform for India But the rev.
dictionary implications of such a po-
sition have not up till now been en-
bodied in q programme of action.
Right Wing Position.
The right wing of the nationalist
movement is willing to cooperate"
with the imperialist authorities in
framing the constitution of India. 1t
is, however, opposed to constitution
which may be concocted by the i'm
perialist authorities without the re-
sponsible participation of right wing
leaders.
The actual commission consists only
Of members of British parliament
chosen from the conservative, liberal
and labor parties. There are no In
dians on the commission, and none of
the nationalist parties in India are in
any way represented in it. Anticipat-
ing the opposition of the whole ma
tionalist movement to such a commits
sion, the Viceroy of India has pro-
posed cumbrous scheme to asso-
ciate in subordinate capacity dele
cations of India legislative bodies
with the labor of the commission. 1t
is, however, a testimony to the real
crisis through which British imperial
ism in India is passing that the vi
ceroy has supplemented his declara-
ton of policy with an appeal to the
Indian bourgeoisie for cooperation in
the name of "the rich prize of achieve
ment of the common purpose which
we may assuredly win together, but
can hardly win in separation"
All the parties comprising the ma
tionalist movement have reacted to
the appointment Of the commission
with practically unanimous opposi-
ton. The Bengal section of the Swa-
raj Party has proclaimed in it's mani
festo that sit is for the people of
India to frame midas Constitution,
The Bombay Chronicle, organ of the
National Congress characterizes the
commission as "a machiavellian de-
vice Of arrogant imperialists who are
determined to exploit the divisions of
India to huniiliate and dragoon her
into accepting dictated and fraudu
lent constitution" The right wing
leaders who have been waiting in ar
expectant mood have now been dis
illusioned and have come forward with
proclamations to the rank and file
not to cooperate with the commits
sion"
Plan Boycott.
Finally, at conference OF all the
Nationalist Parties, the policy Of
boycott has been adopted as reply
to the "insolent challenge" of British
Imperialism. It however, remains for
the Indian National Congress which
is meeting in its annual session in
December to give more official
character to the campaign of boycott
and realize it organizationally
The situation created in India now
is certainly rich with revolutionary
possibilities. The only safeguard
against their degeneration into re-
formist compromise Is an energetic
and concerted action by the National
ist left wing and the Workers and
Peasants Party to orientate the whole
anti-imperialist movement towards
the vast exploited masses and find ir
their revolutionary organization the
sure Sanction" for coercing British
Imperialism into submission to the
fundamental demands Of the Nation
al revolutionary movement.
