Severe CRISIS IN
CHINA SHARPENS
Wall Street Planes Win
"Victory" for Chang

Twenty-nine hungry workers were
killed and scores wounded when
Kuomintang soldiers opened fire on
a crowd of starved workers who,
driven by hunger and desperation,
were trying to obtain food from
food ships at Huchowfu, Chekiang
Province. As the result of the deep
ening economic crisis and the great
slump in the price of silver, prices
in China, especially grain prices, are
soaring to unthinkable heights and
it is becoming increasingly difficult
for workers and peasants to main
tain even the lowest possible living
standards. Under such circum-
stances, the unusual rapidity in the
development of the revolution can
easily be understood.
Despite the announcement of
Marking that it has scored "a deci-
sive initial battle" along the north
ern borders of Anhwei and Honan,
the existence of counter-claims of
victories from the North and the
absence of any categorical report
concerning the decisive victory Of
Marking indicate that the fight is
not yet decided.
The fact that Marking owes what
ever victory it has gained mostly to
American airplanes is frankly re-
vealed by Victor Keen, the special
correspondent Of the New York
Herald Tribune. In a cable despatch
from Shanghai dated May 10, he
says, Markings air supremacy, the
result of its purchase a few months
ago of large number Of American
bombers, is playing an important
part in The governments campaign,
according to adyices fronl the Lung
hal front"
Markings foreign minister, c. T
Wang, is reported to have requested
foreigners to evacuate the province
of Honan so that atrial bombing in
this area can be intensified. The
Marking government, Of course, can
only think Of he welfare of then
imperialist mas .ers. Millions OF

are becoming such that an upris-

to the political meaning of this; an

of capitalists to use violence against

Emp1oyment Worst IN TO Years.
The British ministry of labor yes
terday announced that 1,712,000 per-
sons in Britain are out of work.
This is the largest official figure
concerning unemployment in eight
years. Since the government fig
ures include only those who are
registered as unemployed, the actual
figures must be much larger.
According to these figures there
has been an increase of $4,000 in
the number of registered jobless
workers since the beginning of this
year.

Everyday Psychology

Dramatic Arts.


The dramatic arts, stage and screen,
are based on that science Of human
nature which Is called psychology.
Shakespeare advised his players ito
hold. as 'twere, the mirror up to nature" 3"
Aside from the naturalness of the
dramatic arts, there must also be some
thing artificial about them. They must
make the most Of the phrase, "as
'twere." There's in 1t all an element of
what ought to be rather than what Is.
You will find this same acting Of roles
everywhere in everyday life. In other
words, human beings go just as far as
they can in making themselves out to
be a little other than what they really
are. The artificiality in every day life
Is really enormous.
It is said that an actor can play the
part of an aristocrat more easily than
he can play the part of a commoner.
The business of king is to act his part.
The artisan lives his part in life. It's
an easy matter to copy the artiflciality
of life. It's hard job to portray the
realness Of that inner life which lowly
people live.
Why was the court fool so popular
during the middle ages? And why is
the humorist so popular in our day?
It is because the former did and the
latter does teach us how to understand
the artificiality of everyday life. They
hold the mirror up to nature in such
a way as to give us good excuse for
the "make-up" we all use.
