MESSAGE OF
SANDING Read
AT BANQUET
4 u. S. Delegates Off
for World Congress

The United States delegation to
the Second World Congress Against
Imperialism, which is to be held
in Frankfort shortly, was given a
stirring send-off by New York anti
imperialists at a banquet in the
Mandarin Restaurant in the Bowery
Tuesday night.
The high spot of the evening was
the reading of a message sent spe-
cially by Augusta SANDING, heroic
leader of the Nicaraguan Army OF
independence, to the attendants of
the farewell celebration. In his
cable, SANDING said:
arrived in Vera Cruz, received
invitation from International
League to World Congress. The
Army of Independence of Nicara-
qua will send its representative to
Congress. We continue our strug-
gle and urge United States anti
imperialists to help us in strug-
gle for independence of oppressed
people of Latin-America."
Among the speakers who took the
floor between courses of exotic Chi
nese dishes were H. I. Lee. repre-
sentative of the Alliance for the
Support of the Workers and Pea
SAINTS Revolution and one of the
four delegates to the world meet,
Albert Moreau, Louis Gibarti ana
Richard B. Moore.
Gibarti pointed out the close con-
nection of the recent Preparations
conference and the drive for the
further enslavement of Latin Amer
lean countries and the preparations
for war on the Soviet Union. Other
speakers showed how the fight
against the imperialist war is mex
orably linked up with the liberia
ton movement Of the colonial coun-
tries.
Three members of the Chinese AL
lance presented an excerpt from
a Chinese opera, while further mu-
steal entertainment was supplied by
Negro chorus and a dance or
chestra.
The members of the United States
delegation to the congress, in addi-
ton to Lee, are Mary Adams.
Henry Rosemond, vice-president of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union and official of the Hal
tian Patriotic Union, and Jack Bal
lam of the Trade Union Educational
League.

Togo, Siberian Huskie,

From the Portland oregon Journal.
Through billiards and cyclonic winds
In the white silence of the North, Togo,
Siberian huskie with strain of fox
in his blood, rushed, as leader of an
Alaskan dog team, to carry serum for
the relief of Eskimos and whites who
were dying from diphtheria epidemic
In 1925 at Nome.
America was startled by the exploit.
Leonard Seppala, noted dog team
driver, volunteered to go to the rescue
and raced his team PAS miles with a
Siedload Of serum which he delivered
TO Gunnar KaSSon, another dog team
driver, who carried 1t the remaining
100 miles to its destination.
When homeward- bound, Togo broke
away and disappeared among the ghost
ly drifts and white forms Of the land
scape. The exclamation Of Seppala at
the loss Of Togo is q key to his love
OF the big huSkie. It was: God! I
wouldn't take $500 for Togo, who is
always dependable and who's now
gone!"
But Togo came back and lived to win
more races, some with the elements,
some against other dog teams. With

Gangsters Lost This Round.

A fracas between Chicago detectives
and gangsters Friday resulted quite
differently from the usual encounter of
representatives of the law with the I'M
derworld. Three racketeers, following
up negotiations" by mail and tele-
phone. called, with guns in their hands,
on an official of the Tire and Vulcan
isers' Union to collect $4,000. Five
policemen came out of their hiding
place In an adjacent room and called
a halt to the proceedings. The gang
men opened fire, which was reciprocated
promptly and with such good effect
that In a few minutes all three Of the
collectors" were dead, literally pep
pered with bullets while only one of
the detectives was injured, with slight
wound in the hand. All OF the dead
men had criminal records. They were

encounters the law gets the worst of
the case, but this was clean sweep

been designated as American minister
to China.
Unquestionably the gradual aboli-
ton of extraterritorial privileges in
China is inevitable and desirable. A
sudden cancellation of those treaty
rights, without a dependable reform
of the Chinese judicial system, would
be disastrous. 1t is to the interest OF
all the powers, in truth, that China
should establish herself securely upon
the basis of sound and responsible
government, competent to assure full
and exact justice to all foreigners and
to protect the rights of other nationals
than her own. Such a system, however,
is not yet in sight. The very govern
ment at Marking is uncertain of ten
ure. The courts are in a process of
evolution and do not at present assure
justice to Chinese themselves, let alone
aliens.
The United States has full and sim
cere sympathy with Chinas aspiration
for complete independence. 1t has al
ways stood for the open door" and
has diSapproved territorial aggressions
and treSpaSses by other powers to the
disadvantage of China. 1t cannot, of
course. guarantee Chinese integrity of
soil or independence of administration.
1t must protect its own nationals who
are engaged in legitimate business in
China and in beneficial works Of edu-
cation, mercy and enlightenment in

1t is to be regretted that probably
for domestic political reasons, the Nam
king government has now issued It's
mandate against continued extrater-
ritorial rights, a mandate which can
not conceivably be put into force with
out precipitating the gravest troubles,
certain to set China back for decades

The Nations Drainage Ditch.

A plea to the Nation to be generous
in its recognition of the emergency
character of the Mississippi Valley f1ood
Ransdell of Louisiana. The veteran
legislator, who has been recognized as
an authority for many years on the
subject of flood control, in a National
Radio Forum address, gives graphic
description of the immensely of the task,
the vastness of the interests involved,
and the need for speed.
It is more than two hundred and ten
years since the first levees were built
at New Orleans, to protect the place
mighty river, which Senator Ransdell
rightly names the Nations Drainage
Ditch. Ever since that time the peoples
of the States of the Mississippi Valley
have put time, money and labor into
defensive works against the river floods.
The Federal Government half CEN
fury ago created the Mississippi River
Commission to deal with the problem
in q comprehensive way. But having
taken that step, the Congress neglected
to provide the money in sufficient
amounts to press the work to conclusion.
In that interval there have been dis
astrouS floods, causing the loss of thou
sands Of lives and the destruction of
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of property. The Governments policy
has in large measure been short-sight-
ed-a penny wise, pound foolish policy.
The time has come, as Senator Ransdell
points out, to advance the work of flood
control as though 1t we're an emergency
measure.
The enactment of the flood control
act OF 1928 was long step in the In
terest Of the safety Of the Mississippi
Valley. That act takes upon the
shoulders Of the Federal Government In
large measure the entire burden Of
working out this problem and of pre-
venting devastating floods in the future

000, 900. The duty of Congress is to see
that the work is pressed forward as
rapidly rs possible; that the appropri-
atoms be made as large as can well
be expended FROM year to year, in ac-
cordance with the authorization Of the
flood control act.
Senator Ransdell voices the conf
dence Of his people in President
Hoovers ability to deal with the prob
lam ~ he De

engineer. 1t was Herbert Hoover who
went as the representative Of the Fed
eral Government to the inundated area

death of more than 200 persons and
destroying property valued at $400, 00O,-

the organization of flood relief. He
