The governor already has laid
plans to make a strong appeal for
votes to the women OF the country.
One Of the first steps taken by

Straton draws his own dishonest income from
the same source-the difference being only in
the directness. While Smiths contact is that
of leader and organizer of the thugs finks,
ward heelers and contractors through whom
the prostitution, gambling and graft are or
gained at first hand, the Reverend Straton's
contact is, so far as we know, only with the
nice gentlemen at the top whose control over
society is the cause of the degradation crime
and misery. The capitalist system of exploita-
ton of the working class is the cause. Straton
lives by lies that help keep the system alive,
just as does the meanest fink of Tammany
Hall. This dirty-handed hypocrite only helps
to conceal the real cancer with his quack rene
dies which pretend to cure the symptom.
Straton is right in saying that Smith is a
spawn of crime.
And Smith is right in suggesting that Stra-
ton is a sneaking hypocrite
The workers and exploited farmers have the
fundamental interest and necessity that runs
counter to both these servants of capitalism
the necessity to abolish the foul and criminal
capitalist system in which both Smith and
Straton are but sewer-birds.
Work for the liberation of your class. Work
and fight to create new and free system of
society without exploitation, without prostitu-

TO ask the mayor of New York and Mr.. Smith,
governor, for all necessary police protection and,
if it should be necessary military protection"
So says John Roach Straton in his debate
with AL Smith as to whether there shall be q
debate. The issue is whether Smith is of the
spawn of Tammany Halls organized crime, as
Straton contends, or whether Straton is a
cheap faker, professional liar, as Smith con-
tends. It is one of those cases where both
contenders are correct in their contentious as
far as they go.
But the grandiloquent words of Straton
about police protection and military protection
if necessary, are only bunk. Of course Straton
knows that Smiths Tammany police will give
him complete protection, simply because the
taking sky-pilot represents a section of the
ruling class. 1t is only the spokesman of the
working class that Smiths Tammany thugs
assault and blackjack and jail for speaking.
Defenders of capitalism get protection from
the same police thugs that assault those who
attack capitalism.

Smith does the filth and crime of the society
which both of them uphold and defend If

Scientist Reveals

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Aug
15.-Professor Francois Behounek,
Czech scientist who was on board
the Italia when it struck the ice in
the Arctic, is telling of his exper-
fences in a series of interviews,
which reveal the insufficient prepa-
rations made by the fascists for the
Pole flight.
Cabins were overcrowded, hunks
placed in corridors that INSTRUCTED
the passage, implements were i'm

taken were wrong and resulted in
the failure of the rescue expedition
to know the position of the wreck.
His story is especially interesting

CHINA WAR LORDS
EXPLOIT MASSES

(2) The population is burdened
by numerous taxes. The paper
currency has completely depreci-
ated, but the militarists force the
merchants to accept it. The finan-
cial crisis has decreased the buying
capacity Of the masses; the work
ers have not received wages for a
whole year. The peasant produce
has decreased, and it is impossible
TO transport the products, as the
means Of transport have been dis
organized. There is a shortage of
food products in the town, and in
the village great need is felt for in
dustrial commodities.
(3) The Chinese merchants have
been ruined (more than 1000 shops
in Peking have closed DOWN, but
the imperialists' goods are dis
tributed in China. Great supplies of
food from Japan arrive in Shang-
hal.
III. Public Education.

the schools all over China have been

For ten years war has been going
on increasingly between the Chinese
militarists and each day it becomes
bloodier and more ruthless. Thus
the Chinese masses find themselves
in conditions of the most terrible
oppression and exploitation. In the
Changsi province, for instance,
taxes from 1917 to 1928 increased
more than 80 fold. Since the be-
trayal by the Kuomintang the
groupings of ininical neomilitar-
lists have become more complicated
than ever before; there are sup
porters of Chang Kai-shek, Pei
Tson-si, Yen Si-chang, Feng Yu-
hsiang, etc. Besides, the Kuomin-
tang is incapable of uniting China
conflicts are ripening between the
Kuomintang generals themselves.
Therefore each of these adventur-
ers are trying TO get rich by ex-
plotting the masses, who are COM
pletely ruined. The only way out
of this position is to come out on
the path of revolution.
We give below a list of those
evils which the Chinese masses have
to suffer as result of the war be-
tween the militarists:
l. Political Position.
% The supreme power is in the
hands of militarists; all regions are
ruled by military chiefs.
(2) The right of meetings, free
dom of speech and other elementary
rights of the population have been
annulled, especially for workers and
peasants.
90 The most barbarous punish
ments are practiced (eyes put out,
ears cut off, etc..
az The money-lenders and
landlords help the militarists to ex-
plot the peasants.
III. The Economic Position.

Guiding those managed by the gov
eminent, have been ruined (railway
companies, cotton mills, etc.. Am
