The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-11-28
By WANG-JO

BLOODY reaction continues una
y bated in China. Telegraphic COM
munications are received daily re-
porting new executions of Commu-
nists and young Communists. Not
only are Communists and other &C
tive members of anti-imperialist
movements being butchered, but all
unreliable" workers and peasants,
even those who are suspected OF sym
pathizing with the labor peasant
movement, are being tortured and
shot by the infuriated Kuomintang
warlords. But besides these new
exploits" of the White Terror now
rampant throughout China under
the Kuomintang flag, we read daily
of new peasant risings, of the cap
ture Of new villages and whole dis
tricts by the peasant partisan de-
tachments.
Of the root-causes that compel the
Chinese peasantry despite the
bloody repressions, to rise over
anew against the National" Kuo-
mintang government, the first is the
exploitation of the landowners. The
vast majority of the Chinese pea
santry have no land of their own
and are, forced to rent land from
the owners. Rent is paid in kind
and is as high as so per cent of the
harvest, and nowhere is it lower
than 80 per cent. Besides the claw
full" rent, the landowners extort adj
ditionally acquisitions and gifts,
cheating the peasants when harvests
are being divided, and so on.
The second cause is the tyranny

what are the politicals suffering,
you ask? A four-page newspaper
would not be sufficient for the story
that have to tell. All the comrades
are sick. Of the 100 political prison

over go of them are sick with tuber-
culosis and rheumatism. The others
are suffering of different illnesses.
Stomach, bronchitis, kidney, etc. The
prisons doctor at the visit found
that so comrades need hospital care.

EXPECT PAONESSA
 ID MAKE CHANGES
(Continued from First Page)

sioncr Michael F. King. King. a democrat and former councilman from the sixth ward. was chairman of the garage commission during Paonessa's last administration. When the present mayor took office, King was shifted to the board of fire commissioners. Democrats say that they have learned from members of the fire department that King was among them soliciting votes for the republican candidate. Councilman Bartlett. The democrats argue that this action is sufficient to warrant q request that he relinquish his CommiSSioncrShip since he is on the board by virtue of his registry in the democratic party. but they claim that he is actually a republican in spirit.
 Criticism has also been made of Commissioner King on the ground that his activities have placed the fircmen in an cm barrassing position since members of the department are not permitted to engage in poli- ties, yet their superior has intro duced the subject to many Of them, according to the democrats. Paonessa will be inaugurated next Tuesday.

CIVIC CLUBS WANT VOICE IN ]. [. L.
May Have Representation on
 Board of Directors

That civic clubs will have d rep resentation on the board of directors of the United Community corpora ton became probability today when 1t became known that a meet ing of the U. C. C.. officials and presidents of the various civic clubs will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Community Chest headquarters, to discuss the proposition.
 The suggestion is said to have come from Past President Harry c. Hancock of the Lions club. Mir. Hancock suggested that inasmuch as the new campaign plans provide for the civic clubs taking over the re- sponsibility of handling the drive, the clubs should havo representation on the board of directors. The sug- gestion is said to have met with ap- proval, but there is some question as 10 how this will conflict with existing bylaws. It is likely that if the by laws prevent the inclusion of civic club representatives on the board that the clubs will be voted an ex- officio representation.
 The matter will be decided tomor- row afternoon.

WORLDS RECORD SUGAR CROP
FOR 1928 is EXPECTED.

Present Indications are that the worlds
sugar crop ia the coming crop year will
SCI a new hign record for all time, the
BroOkmire Economic Service, Inc. states.
A crop considerably ia excess Of last
years is expected On the other hand,
invisible supplies of sugar are gennrslly
considered to have been reduced this
year.
Continued weakness in the price of
sugar has brought the price Of Cuban
raws, duty paid, close to 4 cents.
If allowance be made for the increase
in the the general level of prices since
the war, a price of 4 cents is about equi-
valent to 2 rs cents preWar, a lower rela-
tive price than any that ever existed eX
cept the fall and winter Of 1925
Sugar IS teudlng to be sold at a
price lower and lower in relation to the
prices of other commodities. This is
probably due to Improvements in me-
thods and the use Of high yielding Varle-
ties of cane, together with the intense
competition prevailing in normal times,
particularly since the recovery Of the
European beet industry.
This is the time Of year when the price
of sugar usually has a seasonal advance.
This may have the effect of steadying
prices or causing an advance -NaW York
