''life and death" relationship with
the masses and was capable of
mobilizing them.
Decide on Uprising.
1t was exactly On the same date
of the coup d'etat of Chang Fa-Kwai
and Huang Chi Hsiang that the
centre of the Party decided upon the
Canton uprising. At that time, the
centre was situated in Shanghai. Be-
fore the news of the coup d'etat ar
rived in Shanghai, the Party centre
had already predicted that the coup
d'etat was inevitable in few days.
It had most seriously instructed the
Kwangtung Committee of the Party,
saying that "the only way out for
the Kwangtung workers and pea
SAINT mass in this crisis was to utilize
the opportunity of the continuation
of Kuomintang internal warfare for
the decisive broadening of the upris-
ings of the workers and the peasants,
both in town and in villages, for the
agitation of the soldiers for dis
obedience and revolt during battle,
and for the speedy consolidation of
these uprisings into general up
rising for the seizure of power of
the whole province of Kwangtung
and the establishment of the rule of
the workers and peasants and
soldiers deputies. For the realiza-
ton Of this aim, the Party centre
made the following concrete pro
posals, and instructed the Kwang-
tung Committee to speedily carry
them out:
~. The Kwangtung Committee
should issue manifesto, calling up
or the workers and peasants Of the
whole province to revolt and to es-
tablishr the political power of the
Workers, Peasants Soldiers and
Poor Peoples Delegate Conferences,
in opposition to the personal war

After the conference of August T.,
1927, the Chinese Communist Party
decided to adopt armed instruction
as the general line of action of the
Party. AS for the definite decision
for the Canton uprising it was not
made until the 18th Of November.
The conditions at that time were the
following:
In the camp Of reaction, the Kuo-
mintang was already suffering ter
ribly from an internal disorder of
open factional warfare. Consider
ing the situation nationally, there
was the utter confusion of warfare
between Tang Shen-Chih and the
Marking Government. Considering
Kwangtung alone, the Kwangtung
militarist clique (Chang Fa Kuai,
Huang Chi-Hsiang) was preparing
the coup d'etat and warfare for the
overthrow of the Kwangsi militarist
clique Iii Chi-Sen, Huang Shao-
Hsung) which might have broken
out at any time. There were already
many small skirmishes in the vari-
GUS districts of Kwangtung; the sit
uation was very tense.
Armed Struggles.
In the camp of the revolutionary
masses, the ordinary strikes and
demonstrations of the workers had
developed into armed struggles for
the killing of labor traitors and re-
sistance to the oppressive measures
of the police; the masses usually
came out on the streets. Three pea
SAINT uprisings flared up: the polit-
ical demonstrative uprising in
Kwangtung in April after Li-Chi-
Sins betrayal, the Autumn harvest
uprising for the refusal to pay rent
after Ho-Lung and Yem-ting's
armies entered Swallow in Septem-
Der, and the October uprising for
land, when the Hai-Lu-feng pea
SAINTS gained complete victory, es-
/ tablished Soviet power and carried
out thorough revolutionary
agrarian policy.
On account Of the exorbitant
duties and other financial burdens
imposed upon them and the regime
OF constant warfare, the petty-bour-
geois class definitely bore certain
degree of hatred toward the Kuo-
mintang, and showed signs of
wavering. Some advanced elements
of this class actually stood on the
side of the proletariat. A large
part of the garrisons stationed at
Canton were definitely sympathizing
with the workers.

recently been cut ten per cent. Mar
ket reports testified that Amoskeag
was in the midst of merry rake

demanding that Gain be raised" in
order to get back some of their lost
wages. So the company, knowing
of the situation, called the obliging
congressman" together where they
could be told that the stock market
reports were unprincipled lies.
But moi With glib Agent w. P.
Straw there was no need to even
wholly deny that business was good.
And wise congressman could be
made to understand that they should
not ask for wage raise even if in
creased profits are admitted. SO
this is what Agent Straw did do.
Agent Straw Speaks.
Trade journals report that "Agent
Straw brought an optimistic picture
to the assembly," "Amoskeag," he
said, sis rounding the corner and
getting back its stride" He glad
dened the hearts OF the congressman
by telling them, "but still better
times are coming" Superinten-
dents then took the floor to corro-
horate the statements of Straw, and
the straw-boss representatives" of
the 1900 mill slaves also took the
floor.
This was after Agent Straw had
made an eloquent speech in which
he pleaded for succor for the Amos
keag. Help US undersell our COM
petitors," begged the spokesman of
the stockholders. The congressman
took the floor and waxed enthusiasts
tic in advocating withdrawal of the
request for a wage raise"
No further deliberations on this
subject by the company union will
be held until next spring, senators
and cabinet ministers of the Work.
ers Congress announced later.
Meanwhile new developments add
more sorrow to the sorrowing con-
gressmen, for militant workers have
succeeded in establishing a strong
and Influential mill committee in the
great plant Of the Amoskeag.
Never representative Of even one
worker in the huge plant, which
boasts 2r' gates, the company union
is now facing a fast developing and
organized fight for its complete an

around the militants who are
banded together in the mill commit

leader, the National Textile Workers
Union.

French Militarism in

W.H.-French circles asserted to-
night that Foreign Minister BRAND
Of France and DR.. Gustave Strese-
mann, German foreign minister, had
reached a tentative agreement on
the convocation of a preparatory
disarmament commission in Feb
ruary.
BRAND, speaking for French mill
tarism, spends his time trying to
convince Stresemann that France
will surely evacuate the Rhineland
in 1929 if only Germany will aban-
don heryklemands for such evacua-
ton, and admit that she is satisfied
to have it continue until 1885.
The principal item on the pro-
posed agenda for the approaching
session of the League council is q
plan for an international opium
board. A United States delegate
took part in the organization OF
such board, but the U. S. Their

British Imperialism Aim at Control Aghdmam Against the USI
INCITE REVOLT
ON INDIA BORDER
AGAINST REGIME
Pravda Urges Khan to
Fight Imperialism

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The Afghan
istan tribesmen along the Afghan
Indian frontier, reported to be in
revolt against Amanullah Khan be-
cause of his westernization program
have in reality been instigated
against the Afghan government and
are supported by the British i'm
perialists.
The Moscow correspondent of the
Koelnische Zeitung states this much
as fact in today's report and
further states that the tribesmen
are equipped with English weapons
and their leaders are maintaining
the closest relations with British
military authorities in northwest
India.
The same correspondent quotes
the leading editorial of "Pravda,"
Official organ Of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, to the
effect that the instigated revolt is
a threat at Afghan independence.
"Pravda" urges Amanullah to en-
tighten the Afghans that this move
is only another indication of the
hostility of British imperialism to
Eastern workers and peasants.
1t is pointed out as a proof of
the friendship of Afghanistan to the
Soviet Union that as soon as the
country was threatened by the
British imperialists on the Indian
border, all troops stationed in the
region of the Soviet frontier were
transferred to combat the imperial
ist-fostered uprising.
PESHAWAR, India Frontier, Dec.
11.-Afghan officials and the Shin
warts tribesmen have declared
truce, according to advices reach
ing this city today.
The Shinwaris have been in re-
bellion against the government, ac-
cording to British reports, because
of hostility to King Amanullah's at
tempts to introduce western customs
and dress. The tribes attacked a
number of cities and did consider
able damage before they were dis
persed by government airplane
forces. 1t was estimated that
1000 tribesmen had been killed.
Parleys seeking a final settle
ment are progressing, the advices
said, and it was believed in Kabul
that peace was near.

State and county taxation OF land
held on federal reclamation projects on
which residence and cultivation proof
has been made but for which patent

paid, is made legal In an act of con-
gress approved by President Coolidge
April 2I.
Heretofore, reclamation land has not
been taxed by the state or county until
the entryman procured his patent from
the government, regardless of when he
made proof as to residence, improve
ments and cultivation. Between the maxi
ing of the latter proof and issuance Of
the patent there usually is a long period,
sometimes extending to 20 or 80 years.
The hnal patent is issued only when
designated assessments, made Incident TO

government.
Immense Area Affected
An immense area of land in Montana
is affected by the new law. The greater
portion of the land on the Sun river
project. as we'll as on most Of the other
projects OF the state, is still unpatented.
and in the past has not paid state and
county taxes. At one time and another
efforts have been made to levy on such
land for state and county purposes, but

The text OF the new law says;
THAT the lands OF any homestead

known as the reclamation act, or any
act amendatory thereof or supplement-
airy thereto. may, after satisfactory proof
OF residence, Improvements and cultiva-

general land office. be taxed by the state
or political subdivision in thereof in
which such lands are located, in the

That the lands of any desert land
entryman located within an irrigation
project constructed under the reclama-
ton act and obtaining a water supply
from such project and for whose land
water has been actually available for a
period of four years, may likewise be
taxed by the state or political subdivi-
sion thereof In which such lands are
located.
THAT all such taxes legally assessed
shall be a lien upon the lands and may
be enforced upon said lands by the sale
thereof In the same manner and under
the same proceedings whereby said taxes
are enforced against lands held under

any tax proceeding, shall be subject to a
prior lien reserved to the United States
