Attempt to Quell the
Discomfort

HANOI, French Indo China, July
22.-The French imperialists are
constructing new plantations in
Indo-C China. 1t follows that the land
will first be appropriated and that
workers through the contract labor
system or by crude "force" will be
compelled to work on these planta-
tions.
In order to quell the growing
protest of the. masses, the French
! imperialists are starting a great
reign of terror; all natives suspected
of organizing resistance are arrested
and sentenced. Further, so as to
make deeper impression on the
masses, Lo Sap Stat, who led the
revolt in Bink-Lien in 1919, has been
sentenced to death.
The court did it's work thoroughly;
daily revolutionaries or suspects
were sentenced.

arrested and sentenced:
Dong Binh got yeas for visiting
the tomb of Annamite general who
fought in defense of his country.

SERB DICTATOR
ORDERS MURDER
OF REDS IN JAIL!
Cases Must Not Reach
Court, He Says

BELGRADE, July -. - General
Shickovitch, the military dictator Of
Yugoslavia, has issued official and
secret instructions to all police au-
thorities that prominent Commun-
lists arrested are not to reach the
courts, but to be settled in the
prisons. This murderous order re-
fers in particular to all members of
the Central Committee of the Yugo-
slavian Communist Party. Rewards
Of $4,000 dinar per head have been
offered to the police officials dis
posing of such Communist leaders.
Since then, of course, murders have
been frequeit. Owing to a strict
censorship it is not possible to learn
particulars of all murder cases.
The cases of Jackovitch and Heki-
movitch are known to the world.
The following workers have also
disappeared since being in the hands
of the police. The police officially
disclaim all knowledge of their
whereabouts. All that is known is
they have disappeared without leav-
ing a trace" a playful variation Of
the well-known formula "shot whilst
attempting to escape" The workers
who have disappeared in the hands
of the police are: Marganovitch,
leather worker; Krndely, member
of the Central Council of the indie
pendent labor unions, and Butoratz-
Paravitch, textile working woman.
According to a report of the Bull
garian press, three persons were
shot dead a few days ago on the
Yugoslavian side of the Yugoslav-
Bulgarian frontier by Yugoslavian
gendarmes. On the 9th of May
further person was shot dead by
gendarmes near the village of Bat
chevo. Six hundred workers are
still in prison in Zagreb and their
fate is terrible.

1ailedRumQnian Communist
Tells of His Hunger Strike

1t is good that l acquaint you with
the details of the present situation,
both with regard to the amnesty"
and to my own position, including
my process and my present hunger
strike. / will write as long as / can,
but I am already very weak.
First of all with regard to the
amnesty" On the 18th inst, roy
al decree was issued according to
which all political crimes and offenc-
es contained in the penal code or in
any of the exceptional laws will be
amnestied as far as no final conyic-
ton has been obtained.
1t must be pointed out that all
those political prisoners already con-
'victed, and they are the vast major
ity, will remain in prison, further,
the Rumanian laws do not recognize
political offences anyhow, and this
is very important. In Rumania only
common law exists, and all political
processes are carried out according
to this law, the usual charge being
that of high Treason, or crimes
against the internal and external Sc
curity of the state. The exception
al law (Marzescu) declares express
ly that all persons convicted under
this law shall not be regarded as
political offenders.
The truth is that this amnesty
need apply to no single revolution
airy worker, and that no single rev.
dictionary can hope to escape prose-

FASCISTISUFFER
TR|PoL| DEFEAT
Mussolini Celebration
Premature

TRIPOLI, July %. = Italian inn
perialists have been celebrating,
with illuminations and torchlight
demonstrations, an Overwhelming
victory" over the Senussis in Tripoli.
This victory" was to be the means
of bringing tire whole colony under
control. The campaign was pre-
pared on an unanimous scale. Such
large bodies of troops were brought
into Italian North Africa that
French imperialists began to ask
whether these forces were not in
tended for some other purpose, i.e.,
for an attack on Tunis. Not less
than 10000 troops were called up.
The whole of Italian North Africa
has male population of not more
than 100000, so that the armed
forces were one to every five ma
tives.
But fascist enthusiasm was con-
siderably reduced when the news,
suppressed by the Italian censor,
came through that after this "glori-
Gus and complete" victory the Sc
nussi chief, Achmed Saif, engaged
in a battle. Three hundred Italians
were killed and the Italian advance
was checked at AL Tamia al Arabia.
1t was after that the general of
the FASCIST troops announcing the
peaceful intentions of Italy and de-
claring that the Italian government
was prepared to wipe out all those
who broke the peace.

1t is forced ever more to a respon-
sible dominant position, to the posi-
tive demonstration of its policy, and
to the formation of some form of
government with capitalist support
and in open union with capitalism.
AS its policy and practice becomes
ever more clearly revealed as the
policy of Baldwin in new dress, the
resultant wave of revolt in the work
ing class will be even more wide and
far-reaching than that following
1924. The Labor Party has still to
win its absolute majority to complete
the exposure; on the basis of this
appeal for power it may still adj
vance a stage further at future
election; but it is nearing the end of
it's tether.
The Fifty Thousand.
The Communist Party, in its first
fight, has won $4,000 votes. Twenty
nine years ago the Labor Party in
its first fight won $4,000 votes. The
rise and fall of parties in the pre-
sent epoch is rapid one, as the
fate of the Liberal Party has shown.
The idle commentators, capitalist
and labor alike, who are united in
laughing at the smallness of the
Communist vote, only betray their
blindness to the real forces of the
situation.
The present action of the Com
munist Party was an advance-guard
action, which has correctly laid the
foundations of the position that
will rapidly develop as the Labor
Party is brought ever more fully in
to the exposure of power. 1t should
be remembered that the Communist
vote, owing to the undemocratic
system, is based on only 25 consti-
tuencies or four per cent of the
total.
If we were to treat this sample
as typical and extend it to the whole
country, it would represent total
of 100000 votes; allowance, how
ever, must be made for the consti-
tuencies fought being more favor
able than the average constituency;
if we estimate them as some two
to three times more favorable than
the average ian over-estimate) the
resultant national strength of Com
munism in Britain revealed may be
placed at half million, and this is
probably not far wrong from what
a national ballot would show.
The Liberals, although defeated in
their attempt to secure any impor-
tant increase in representation, have
achieved their main strategic aim
of obtaining the balancing position.
In consequence a parliamentary stu
alton of q balance to parties OBJ
tains, corresponding to the parlia-
mentary situation in most European
countries, and involving in the same
way the two important consequences

BUCHAREST, July 22.-The ener-
getic national campaign of the 1. R.
A. on behalf of the Roumanian
working leader, Marcel Pauker, and
his own determined attitude have
caused the Roumanian authorities
to release him. Marcel Pauker had
been on hunger-strike for over a
month. Protests from the workers
and from intellectuals in all coun-
tries swamped the Roumanian gov
eminent daily. In order to save the
credit of the Roumanian authorities
abroad, Marcel Pauker has now been
released from prison. He continued
his hunger and thirst-strike up to
the very last moment of imprison-
ment.

the following letter on the seven
teenth day of his hunger strike, from
the dreaded Jilava prison, where the
Rumanian fascists have tortured and
murdered hundreds of Communists

By R. PAINE DUTT.

BY the outcome of the British
General Election, the Labor Party
energies as the strongest single
party of British capitalism. No
longer the traditional Conservative
or Liberal Parties, but the Labor
Party is now the principal repre-
sentative and responsible party of
British imperialism at the present
stage. The fact that the British
bourgeoisie has thus now to lean on
the Labor Party as its principal prop
to maintain it, as its final bulwark
of defence against the rising working
class tide, is a measure of the de-
cline and instability of capitalism in
Britain, and in turn factor towards
further instability.
THe mass movement against the
Baldwin Government and its policy
of reaction, which resulted in the
veryslarge turnover of votes against
them, has found it's immediate ex-
precision in the Labor Party as the
appfFent alternative.
Hdt by the logic of events the
moYeTnent will not be able to stay at
this point. For the mass of working
class voters in the industrial areas
and mining centres, who constitute
the Backbone of the Labor Party's
victory, voting against their i'm
mednte visible enemies of the open
capitalist parties, and proceeding in
many cases in great bodies straight
from the factories to the polling
booth the election was an act of
class war, direct assault on wealth
and che hated ruling class.
Defending Imperialism.
For the Labor Party chiefs who
have-gone to Parliament to "repre-
sent" them, the situation is very
different; for them the policy is class
peace and class cooperation, the de-
tense and maintenance of the CAPT
talist state and imperialism.
From this arises contradiction
which will inevitably work itself out,
and eat away the present temporary
Labor Party supremacy as surely as
the old Liberal supremacy, and all
the more rapidly because the present
situation of capitalism no longer al
lows of peace and easy concessions
to the workers, but drives to inten-
sified class struggle.
We may well hail the industrial
armies which have with such over
whelming solidarity voted Labor at
the present election; for they repre-
sent in the mass the future armies
Of Bolshevism. The alarm of the
bourgeoisie at the result is not alarm
at the Labor Party, which they do
not fear, but at the mass movement
revealed.
The Labor Party is now carried
stage further along its destined path.

ROSARIO, Argentine, July 22-
The probable general strike, which
will be led by the Communist Party
Of the Argentine, and which is plan
ned to tie up all industries through
out the country, was brought step
nearer today when the Printers
Union issued manifesto inviting all
labor unions to prepare for general

fused.
The dismissal of all strike-break-

whom the longshoreman's strike
started, is also demanded.
Tbeaongshoremen of Rosario went

influence is very strong in all these
unions.
New troops have been sent here
daily by the government of President
Irigoyen, a Wall Street tool. Since
American shipping interests and
manufacturers have suffered heavily
due to the lockers strike here,
Irigoyen has reinforced the already
heavy federal forces here with new
cavalry detachments.
The stock exchange called the at

elapsed, during which the stevedores
strike has been in progress, since
President Hippolito Irigoyen prom

government to take over strike
breaking. This action will imme-
