First Chinese Soviet Congress
By Bill Chopper

grown enormously; it numbers today 13 armies
with over 100000 men distributed over the var
ious Soviet territories. Their weapons and
equipment are fairly good. In addition to the
Red Army, there is for example in Kiangs
in the area in which the third Red Workers
and Peasants Army rules, the Rel Peasant
Defense consisting of nine formations, each
numbering 5000 men.
The leaders of the cadres are the leaders of
the workers and peasants who have already
experienced the great Chinese Revolution; they
all work under the direction of the Communist
Party. The Red Soldiers have always been
outnumbered- to one--but thanks to the
support of the masses, the numerically super
ior enemy has always been vanouished. 1t is
this invincbity of the Red Army that has
caused the imperialists and the Chinese bour-
geoisie ard Handwriting class to unite against
the Revolution. The Kuomintang military
rulers are sending their troops into the viii
lagos in order to purge them. But all these
attacks prove in vain in face of the upsurge
of the Chinese Revolution, the revoutionizing
of the world proetariat and the victorious con-
solidation of the Soviet Union.
AllChina Soviet Congress Called.
1t is in this situation that the Communist
Party of China together with the Chinese red
trade unions, have convened an All China So
Wet Congress. At this Congress uniform
leadership for the whole of the Soviet ter
ritores will be set up in order to secure the
leading role of the proetariat in the revou-
ton. This leadership will enact laws regard
ing the land; laws for the protection of labor,
the organization of the Red Army and the
Constitution Of the Soviets, and proclaim the
fight for the All-China Soviet Power of the
workers, peasants and soldiers
This Soviet Congress in China will take place
on the 30th of May, on the anniversary of the
massacre of the revolutionary workers and
students in Shanghai by the imperialists in
the year 1925. Proletarans of all countries!
You must aid the Chinese Revolution by your
energetic support. We will all march shout

On tie first of May, 1900 workers assem-
bled On Atlanta Square 20 demonstrate at the
call oi the Communist Party. The workers
came despite the mayors refusal to permit the
demonstration. The comrades known to the
police from previous leadership in demonstra-
lions were constantly watched and were fol-
lowed by detectives everywhere.
At the meeting, suddenly one comrade
mounted a box and spoke 70 the crowd He
was promptly dragged down, manhandled and
hustled to the police station. Another worker
met the same fate as the first.
Speakers then jumped up sporadicaliy from
all corners, defying police orders not to adj
dress the crowd, and after beatings were ar
rested. young worker and & woman who
attempted, to rescue him from the police were
also arrested, making total of thirteen, two

In the first place, the plans for tie

are to go from America to the Fifth
Congress, were made by instruct

possible campaign throughout all
of their organizations down through
to the smallest unit. This was the
first thing. But this campaign was
not to be mechanical in its approach
to the nomination of delegates, but
was to be conducted on the basis of
popularizing not only the Fifth Con-
gress itself, but the important ques-
tions that are to be taken up at
the Fifth Congress. This campaign
was not only to be conducted among
the organized workers in the T. U.

bring in the unorganized workers
as well. This has been the prelim-

1t has already been pointed out
how the struggles in the South
have opened up a great virgin field
for recruiting broad sections Of the
American working class for strug-
gle. At the same time it is evident
on every hand that the economic
crisis is bringing still greater
masses Of Negro workers into the
stream of revolutionary struggle.
The movement of Negro workers
into the Trade Union Unity League,
both North and South, is not a
mere sporadic movement and con-
fined to few, but is involving solid
and substantial numbers of Negro
workers.
1t is on the basis Of penetrating
these great masses of workers-the
great majority Of the American
workers--that the plans and the
preparations of the T. U. u. L. for
the election Of delegates to the Fifth
Congress of the Red International
of Labor Unions have been made.

HALL WOULD Rescue
SULLY HILL PARK
Bill Proposes Turning Area Into
Game Preserve to Avert
Extinction

Washington, Jan. 14.-P)-Trans-
fer of Sully's Hill National Park,
North Dakota. from the Interior de-
partment to the Agriculture depart
ment and use of the park as a game
preserve is provided under a bill in
troduced. Monday, by Representative
Thomas Hall.
The tract will embrace all of the
lands in the park, together with about
5000 additional acres of land adjoin-
ing, and takes in all the lands UNI
covered by the recession of Devils
Lake. lying between the park and the
waters Of Devils Lake, to the north
and west and south by a stream
which flows through the lands un-
covered by the recession Of the lake.
It is provided also that the game
preserve is to be made available to
the public for recreation purposes in
solar as consistent with the use of
the lands as a game preserve
This action was taken because of
an inclination on the part of the ma
tional park service to recommend the
abandonment of Sully Hill National
park and two other small parks in
the country, because they did not
measure up to national park STAN
dards either as to extent, to the
flora and other scenic attractions. It
was suggested that these parks might
be turned over to the state govern
ment as state parks. But, inasmuch
as there has been important legisla-
ton enacted during the last few years
establishing migratory bird and game
preserves under the supervision of the
biological survey it vas deemed best
to transfer the Sully Hill National
park to the biological survey and to
set aside as q game preserve and q
recreation park.
