MOSCOW, QP.S.)-In the first
quarter of the current year the
ranks of the party organizations
grew considerably. 100000 new
members joined the Communist
Party. Last year $4,000 new mem

ways proportionally more recruits
in the first quarter in consequence
of the Lenin recruiting, but this
year there were twice as many as
last year.

SHANGHAI, (IP.S.) - Chinese
newspapers daily report the extern
sion of the insurrectionary move
ment. Communist troops under the
command of Pan Towel are driving
forward from Honan into the south
ern area of the province of Hupeh.
In Kiangsi a communist detachment
of 1000 men has seized the Tehang
railway station fifty miles north of
Nanchang.
"The North China Daily News"
reports that communist troops have
established a soviet regime in a
number of districts in Kwangsi
where they have appropriated the
land of the rich agrarians and dis
tributed it among the poor peas
ants. The newspaper admits that
the division under General Shan
Haunting sent against the rebels has
broken up section gone over to
the insurrectionaries. 1t also re-
ports that the communist troops
have made two drives against the
Puloh coal-mining area, and that the
Marking government has hurriedly
despatched further troops to meet
the insurrectionaries.
In addition to the energetic ac-
tivity of the various revolutionary
armies, there are frequent peasant
instructions in many parts of the
country. The newspaper "Sunwen-

communist troops in Honan is meet
ing with practically no resistance on
account of the fact that the main
forces of governmental troops have
been withdrawn to Kwangsi to meet
the urgent danger there.
One town after the other is fall
ing into communist hands and no
less than rs areas are in the hands
of the revolutionary troops. The
communists nave now taken the
town of Pingkiang about $50 miles
south west of Hankow. Changsha,
the capital of the province of Human,
is under martial law and a military
terror is being exercised. Arrests
and searches or the streets are COM
mon. The governor of Canton has
openly declared that the government
is helpless against the instruction
aries.
Revolutionary troops are active
near Hoifung and Lufung about $50
kilometres east of Canton. Revo-
lutionary troops are also active on
the island of Hainan where the au-
thorities have declared martial law.
The government difficulties are par

Party Members Not Yet
| Helping Daily Enough

Members of the Communist Party
will have to take the decision that
each Party member secure at least
$500 worth of subscriptions (new
readers) and contributions for the
Daily Worker very seriously. All
district Party bureaus have been re-
quested to check up on the activity
of the Party members in the Daily
Worker campaign and an accurate
report will be required to ascertain
the number of Party members and
which Party members have failed
in their task.
The Daily Worker stamps for
Party membership cards have been
sent to every district and should be
h the hands of the Party units by
how. Every member attaining his
Iuota of $500 will receive stamp
and the good standing OF every
Party member is dependent upon the
insertion of this stamp in his mem
bership book.
We refer to this at this time be-
cause the Daily Worker is not re
ceiving reports upon official report
blanks issued to the districts, Sec
tions and units, of amounts OF SUBS
obtained and donation secured. II

recruitment, the "Pravda" declares
that it is the result of the inten-
sification Of the class struggle which
causes increasing number of pro-
letarian elements to flock to the
banner of the Party. This fact was
a further proof of the indissoluble5
connection between the party and
the working class and of the fact
that, despite the right and left wing
opportunists, the working class
completely approved of the policy
carried out by the Central Commit
tee of the Party. z

the workers and peasants. For in
stance in Kanchow and Nanchang,
when the cities were surrounded by
Red troops, the workers inside both
cities were very active, working to
undermine the Kuomintang author
tiles from inside. All the crosses
in the map indicate those cities o.
districts where militant struggles of
the workers and peasants are the
order of the day although Soviets
have not yet been established. 1T
is very significant that the workers
in Shanghai, Hankow and Canton
have already raised the cry for in
surrection.).
There is another very significant
point which shows very clearly that
the usual conception Of the dispro-
portion of the revolutionary develop
ment in China and the criticism
that there is lack of proletarian
leadership in the Soviet movement
and guerilla warfare is much too ex-
aggerated.
The achievement of the village
Soviet movement and the guerrilla
warfare is most noteworthy in
Kiangsi province. The reason for
this which can only be found in the
social and economic peculiarities in
the province is itself an evidence Of
the leading role which the Chinese
proletariat is playing in the agrarian
revolution. The big modern coal
mines in Pinghsiang and Anyuan
both situated in Kiangsi province
have long been the centers of the
most advanced proletarian move
ments in China. The biggest and
most well-known center of the por-
celin industry in China, Chin TIE.
Cheng, with hundreds of thousands
of workers with a rich past
and an enviable present, full of valu-
able experiences of militant strug-
giles, is also situated in this province
Even Kanchow in South China has
old but large paper and sugar in
dustries. All these give the agrariar
revolution in Kiangsi strong pro-
letarian influence.
And, further, the unusually cruel
white terror since 1927 not only
drove the most militant workers in
the industrial centers of Kiangsi, but
also that of all the southern pro.
vinces in China to the villages where
they plunge into the agrarian revo-
luton and provide real proletarian
leadership to the peasant movement
The uprising of the Canton prole-
taSiat in December 1927, which, for
the first time in history, raise the
slogan of the Soviets in the Far
East, also provide a strong impetus
to the peasant movement in the vii
lagos. Under the leadership of the
Communist Party of China which
in itself already is a guarantee of
proletarian leadership in the strug-
giles of the peasants, and differed
by cadres actually drawn from the
working class as explained above.
the danger of a disproportionate
development of the agrarian revo-
luton in China is thus reduced to
the minimum, if not zero.

provide the toiling masses of China
with a platform, on the basis of
which, guided by the proletariat un-
der the leadership of the C.P.C.,
these masses will carry on the rev.
dictionary struggle for their liberia
ton from the yoke of the imperial
lists and militarists and will estab-
lish the democratic dictatorship of
the workers and peasants in the
form of soviets.

Delegate Congress will certainly
strengthen the leadership of the
proletariat in the Chinese Revolu-
ton and coordinate the struggles in
the big cities and the work of the
different Soviet Areas. Fighting
along the Marxist-Leninist line,
which the Congress under the lead
ership of the Communist Party of
China will work out, the Chinese
Revolution will march forward in
long strides toward the goal of es-
tablishing a Soviet Republic in
China. The day when the map of
all of China will be covered with
red is not far distant!

Fashions of Today.
BY MARIE sHALMAR.
Color Rules.

Certain rules relating to the becom-
lngness OF colors are so obvious that they
hardly need reiterating. For instance, a
bright red dress would not be becoming
TO red-faced woman, nor would bright
yellow look well on a very fat woman.
But to say that black is more becoming
to blondes than brunettes, that olive
skinned women look better in cream
white than dead white, that pink is
unbecoming to the red-haired girl is
to lay down rules that do not apply in
all cases. The best and only reliable
way to find out the becomingness of a
frock of a certain color is to try it on
and then look in the mirror.
1t is rather silly to say that the ques-
ton of fashion should never enter into
your consideration of the becomingness
of certain colorS. Red may not be one
OF your best colors, yet If black trimmed
with red becomes the fashion and hence
gives an air of Smartness, then YOU
may find it desirable to wear such
a combination - rather than black
trimmed with sky blue-though sky blue
may be much more becoming than red,
There are several smart colors that
are seldom Of themselves becoming to
any one. There are very few women
who look well in orange, almost as few
who look well in jade green and almost
none who could claim fuchsia as their
best color. These are not essentially be-
coming colors. But they often bear the
stamp of fashions favor and for that
reason should not be disregarded in
choosing colorS,

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

February 5, 1S61.-The Peace Con-
gress met at noon today at Wizards
Hall. Ex-President Tyler, representing
Virginia, was chosen permanent presi-
dent, and Hon. S. C. Wright of Ohio
secretary.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Tyler ex-
planned that Virginia had invited her
co-States to meet her here in council
The urgency of her call, he declared,
was no less great now than it was some
20 years ago when the new Union of
the States was being launched. He
spoke in an eloquent manner of the
promptnesS with which the States had
responded to the initiative of Virginia
at this crisis in the Nations history.
Our ancestors, in the opinion of Mr..
Tyler, committed a blunder when they
failed to provide for a general conven-
ton to be held every 10 years to amend
and reform the Constitution of the
United States, which was perfect for
five millions of people, but not wholly
so far 100000.
But Mr.. Tyler declared his belief that
the patriotism of the people and the
commissioners from the States selected
to attend the present congress would
today Surmount the difficulties, If they
would only achieve one triumph first
the triumph over party. If that were
done and the country relieved from
the present danger, he thought, one
loud, long shout of JOY would reSound
throughout the land.
During ex-President Tyler's address
the members of the Peace Congress
could not refrain from displaying their
deep feeling. When he had finished,
they focked around him with words of
congratulation and confidence.
Mr.. Chase of Ohio assured Mr.. Tyler
that they were ready to follow when
Virginia led, as she pursued only the
path of virtue and honor"
It is thought that by tomorrow all
the States that have appointed COM
miSsionerS will be represented at the
Peace Congress. Then the real bust
ness of the momentouS meeting will
commence.
The public should not be deceived
by the result of the Virginia election
yesterday, when delegates were chosen
to the convention that win vote on the
question of secession, points out The
Evening Star today. True, three-fourths
of the elected delegates defeated OPP
ponents who were pledged to vote for
immediate and unconditional secession,
but these winners are themselves
pledged to vote for secession in case
it is impossible for the Peace Congress
here to reach a settlement that will
accord to the border slave States a
chance to bring back the seeded States.

Building Health.

Have you ever noticed how the beau
tiful and desirable things in life are
the result of some sort of cooperation
and that the unpleasant negative things
are due to lack of it? Take good health
and beauty, for instance. Beauty is
matter of harmonious ensemble and
good health is the result of proper CO.
ordination between the bodily func-
tons. And are not grace, poise and
charm obviously dependent on the har-
moniouS working together Of the differ
ent muscles and parts of the body and
the mind? GracefulneSS means poiSe,
balance, coordination and it is the re-
suit of careful training of the muscles.
Having a neat. attractive figure is
largely matter of correct carriage and
of keeping the large muscles of the
trunk firm and supple. The line run
ming from the armpit down over the
hip is important to the effect of the
new fashion silhouette, but it Is not
necessary to have the contours of a
bean pole in order to look well in these
dresses. When the muscles along this
line are fiabby they will make ungrace-
full bulges, but well knit, athletic fig
ure can support itself. The best way
to gain and keep a good figure is to
practice daily exercises that will make
and keep these large muscles firm and
the contour graceful.
I wonder how many OF my readers
realize the true object of all this phys
cal exercise. Certain movements OF
the limbs and trunk I give for reducing
or building up different parts of the
body. What really happens Is that
these exercises bring into play the I'M
| used muscles and stimulate the circula-
ton of the blood It Is the blood
stream that nouriShes the starved,
| sluggish tissues into growth and repair
and carEaes away effete material that
| is clogging the body and muscles ct
certain points The exercise that makes
| the blood flow more quickly also Stimu-
| lateS the lung action so that when the
blood reaches the lungs it finds plenty
of pure air to cleanse it.
| So the key to building health ard
| the blood. Many beauty problems dis
appear when milady realizes and APP
| plies this truth. The beauty of the
hair depends absolutely upon the sup
| ply of rich, healthy blood to the scalp.
Many complexion blemishes, salloWnesS
and fiabbiness can be overcome only
when the blood circulates freely through
all parts of the body.
1t takes Imagination for the average
woman to see that poor Sallow skin.
lusterless hair, facial wrinkles, dull eyes
and lack of pep and success in her
