Unrest Spreads as Bank
Repudiates Notes

CANTON, Feb. 13.-While more
than million peasants and fisher
men in southern Kwantung have
driven out landlords and set up Sow
let governments, $4,000 well-armed
and well-drilled Communist troops
have marched from the province of
Human into northern Kwantung,
where they have taken number OF
cities.
The peasant revolt in southern
Kwantung is spreading rapidly, ac-
cording to reports received here.
Titles to all land have been destroyed
and all land is being worked on a
communal basis.
There is widespread unrest in this
city as result of the reputation OF
all of the notes issued by the Canton
branch of the Nationalist Central
Branch before 1928. Most wages had
previously been paid in the almost
worthless paper, and the new decree
of the Canton authorities completely
repudiates the notes. The issues be-
fore 1928 amounted to $42,500,O00.

CERMAN-bRITISH
COAL PACT LOOMS
Report Essen Magnates
Want Cartel

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-An alliance be-
tween English and German coal pro-
ducers, as suggested by a conserva-
tive member of the British parliament
in the House of Commons, would meet
with warm approval in Germany but
it is not believed here that such a
program can be carried out.
Essen reports describe the keen in
terest with which German coal mine
owners received the news of the
Boothby proposal, and it is declared
that authoritative circles will support
the scheme.
Although the English coal owners
have suffered huge losses through the
strike, and were afterwards forced to
dump at low prices, it is pointed out
that for many markets English coal
has an advantage over the Germans.
The Germans also emphasize that the
English coal operators have no ma
tional organization on q legal basis
such as the union of German coal OPP
orators, and that without such an or
ganization it would be extremely diff
ficult to arrange an international
agreement.
While the tone of the German re-
action is one of sympathetically wait
ing, the Essen industrialists flatly
deny that they inspired the Boothby
speech.

of the independence of the various
States. Today the extreme acuteness
of the struggle for markets and
sources of raw materials further en-
hances the desires of the imperialists
to seize upon the countries Of South
America, and this is expressed in a
stronger and more violent pressure on
the last remnants of even the outward
semblance of national independence
for these countries. Another exceed
ingly important fact to be taken into
account here is that the United States
of America has come to the forefront
of this struggle Of late years, and is
already a dangerous competitor to
English greed for the South American
markets. In some of the States i'm
perialist penetration is still proceed
ing on the lines of peaceful import Of
capital, whilst in others, Nicaragua
for instance, the imperialist advance
assumes it's acutest form. Some of
the States are already partially or
entirely colonized by Wall Street.
The struggle with Imperialism
must form a very considerable part
of the activities Of our Parties. The
Importance, the forces, the methods,
and the organization Of this struggle
are dictated to US by the teachings of
Lenin, complemented and confirmed
by the recent experiences Of the Chi

PROTEST

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The opposition
70 the Simon commission continues,
with even the conservative wing of the
nationalist movement joining the boy
colt against it.
The tension created by the strike
and boycott against the commission
has been increased by the widespread
protest against the land taxes levied
by the Madras presidency. The move
ment against the tar~has taken ON a
definite political character.
The protest against the taxes has
reached such proportions that num-
Der of peasants were wounded several
weeks ago when police fired into
demonstration.
Sir John Simon, head of the statu-
tory commission, is attempting to
reach a compromise with the right
wing of the nationalist movement.

stand for the proletarian State and
dictatorship, for the necessity and
function of the Communist Party, for
the work of the trade unions. Lenin-
ism is the sole weapon with which we
can combat the traitorous attitude of
the socialists, who actually support
the bourgeois State beneath the cloak
Of it's alleged neutrality; and it is
our sole weapon against the anarchist
standpoint, which overlooks the es-
sential of State and adopts a
counter-revolutionary attitude to-
wards the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat, thereby sinking more and more
into an impotent petty bourgeois sect.
This same weapon, which has secured
for us the growth of our Party and
will further help us in its consolida-
ton, has enabled us at the same time
to unmask those socialists and yellow
elements who have done their utmost
to hold the trade unions back from
their real tasks, and to make the
unions organs of class cooperation.
Hereby we have come into conflict
with the Amsterdam trade unionists,
who have referred to the declaration
made at the French trade union con-
gress at Amiens, have denied the
necessity of Communist Party, and
have been only hindrance to the
development of the trade unions as
a revolutionary force,
When we remember what an i'm
portant role is played by agriculture
in South Africa, we realize what the
peasant question means here, and we
appreciate the value of the feminist
analysis of this problem as applied to
our movement. AS yet but little
work has been done in this direction,
but at least our Parties have made a
beginning: already they understand
thoroughly that unless an alliance
exists between the workers and the
peasantry, in which the proletariat
takes the lead, there can be no
thought of victorious revolution. In
this important work our signposts are
feminist theory and the historical
example furnished by the October
Revolution led by Lenin.
There is still another sphere in
which Leninism is Of great value and
utility to us. This is the struggle
against imperialism. English i'm
perialism extended it's tentacles to
South America many years ago, above
all in the Argentine Republic. Since
the period of the struggles for eman-
cipation from Spanish rule (1810),
England's foothold has become
steadily firmer, and has played a con-
siderable part even in the question

THE first Communist Party founded
in South America was the Inter-
national Socialist Party of the Ar
gentine Republic, which came into
being in January 1918. The core
around which this party was built
was the group of the Marxist opposi-
ton which had formed in the old So
cialist party, in the ranks of which
this opposition had fought deter
minedly against the imperialist war
and against the social traitors.
As a Left opposition in the Social
Democratic Party, we began about the
middle of 1917 to publish our own
organ: 1.-THE International" The
news which we received of the revolu-
tionary movement all over the world,
and especially from Russia, was very
seanty, and sometimes was lacking
altogether. When we remember this
lack of connection and communication
with the international movement, it is
the more surprising to note that our
newspaper, "rhe International pub
lished an article entitled: "Lenin or
Kerensky?" as early as month be-
fore the October Revolution. In this
article we analysed the two stand
points, siding with Lenin, whilst the
socialists supported Kerensky
The foundation Congress Of the In
ternational Socialist Party took place
two months after the October Revolu-
ton, and expressed unanimous soil
darity with the Bolsheviki and their
revolution. The II. Congress (held in
the middle of 1919 resolved unani-
mously on the affiliation Of the Party
to the Comintern, which had been
founded a few months earlier.
1t will thus be easily comprehended
how great the influence Of Leninism
has been on the life and development
of the revolutionary vanguard of the
Argentine proletariat. Leninis m
helped us, and continues to help us,
in our struggle against the social
democracy, which holds fairly strong
position in the Argentine Republic.
In Uruguay, where social democracy
has never been strong, we have sue
ceeded in destroying it. In Brazil the
communist movement has ousted the
anarchists from their former leading
position. In Chill we see a strong
mass movement, working with the aid
of Leninism for the organization of a
staff of leaders and the crystalliza-
tionof Communist Party.
The South American Labor Move
ment is influenced by the reformists,
and by the anarchists or anarcho-
syndicalists. This confronts US with
three important tasks; We must
