with their claim that the U. S. is a

at hand gives local "labor"
faker, MeEwen of Duluth, in an at
tack on Communism because it, he
claims, "is founded on autocracy,"
while the A. f. of l.. "believes in
democracy" Yet these takers deny
democracy to the A. F. of L. mem
bership and Gerard names two of
the biggest fascist hureaucrats,
Green and VOL, among the auto
Gratis who rule America.
Only in one paper, the Journal of
Commerce, which is read by cap
italists and not by workers, do we
find a silent admission that Gerard
is correct in saying that a handful
of rich men rule the country. We
even find that the Daily Worker is
confirmed in it's statement, how
ever that Gerard is wrong when he
says these SO rule "by their ability"
Ability? No! Power? Yes!
The N. Y. Journal of Commerce,
confesses that they rule, all right
but says that many of them got
power through inherited wealth, and
politely indicates that some of them
are no great shakes on brains, end
ing thus:
''In short, Mr.. Gerard appears to
have succumbed to the universal de-
fusion that position and wealth
invariably connote ability in their
possessors."
We have an "invisible" govern

Pravda Hits Intervention
of Imperialists in China

voked a collision with the red troops
in Changsha after the retreat of the
Marking forces and it has shifted
its main naval forces from Shanghai
to Hankow ii. readiness for all
eventualities.
Imperialist diplomacy is working
at high pressure in order to smooth
over the contradictions in the camp
of the Chinese generals and to unite
all bourgeois forces in China against
tn menace of Communism. The
Chinese workers and peasants are
turning the generals war in China
into a civil war against the generals,
whilst the foreign imperialists are
striving to unite the generals to
crush Communism and attack the
Soviet Union. The foreign banks
are financing the counter-revolution
and the foreign missionaries are
spying for the counter-revolution
against the Soviets and organizing
troops of landowners and kulaks
against them. The recent note of
the imperialists to the Marking gov
eminent in connection with the
events in Changsha, containing the
demand "to prevent the repetition
of such events" was a stern sign
to the Marking government that the
anti-Soviet war must be conducted
more energetically and more ruth
lessly. The imperialists realize
that the Marking troops are unreli-
able in the agrarian revolution and
that many mutinies have taken
place, the mutineers having refused
to fight against the Soviets, in many
places even going over to their side,
because they confiscate the land of
the rich landowners and distribute
it amongst the poor peasants. The
imperialists know that whilst the
Marking government may be able,
thanks to its modern war materials
and finances, to defend this or that
town against the comparatively
poorly armed red troops, it will not
be able to crush decisively the revo-
lutionary movement which embraces
millions and millions of the work
ing and peasant masses. The i'm
perialists therefore intend to take
the conduct of the anti-Soviet war
into their own hands. The imperial
lists are not only aiming at maintain
ing the colonial status quo in China,
their aims are still wider.
The whole colonial system of i'm
perialism is at stake, not only in
China, but in Egypt, in India, in
Arabia, in Indo-China, in Corea, in
the Philippines, etc. The Chinese
Soviets are a flaming sign to the
masses of the oppressed and ex-
plotted workers and peasants in all
the colonial and semi-colonial coun-
tries to rise against their imperial
list oppressors in the same fashion.
1t is the duty Of the working masses
in the capital countries to rally
to the defense of the Revolution in
China.

MOSCOW (By MaiD.-1n a lead
ing article on the danger of i'm
perialist intervention against the
Chinese revolution, the Pravda
states:
International Imperialism is pre-
pairing an intervention against the
revolution in China which is devel-
oping under the banner of the Sow
lets. Since the victorious rise of
the workers and peasants the
shadow of imperialist intervention
has logged the course of the Red
Armies. Practically all the imper-
ialist powers are taking part in this
Intervention. French imperialism
took the first step towards armed
intervention when it dispatched
French troops over the border into
Chinese territory in order to crush
the revolutionary movement of the
peasant masses in the south Of the
province of Kwangsi, who had set
up a Soviet Government in Lung
chow. Thanks to French assistance
and to the bombing planes of French
imperialism the conference.-the
airy troops succeeded in taking the
town. Frightened by the insurrec-
lions in Indo-China, French imper-
ialism crushed the newly-formed
Soviets on Chinese territory along
the Indo-Chinese frontier. Lung
chow is again in the hands of the
Soviets, but French imperialism is
concentrating considerable masses
of troops near the frontier and
new intervention is to be feared.
When the revolutionary troops cap
tured Tayeh, an important indus
trial center where section of the
foundry works are concentrated,
Japanese imperialism Immediately
landed wellarmed and equipped
force of marines and forced the rev.
dictionaries to evacuate the town.
Japanese imperialism is doing every
thing possible to prevent the Red
Armies from linking up with the
fermenting masses of the industrial
workers in the great urban centers,
because it fears to lose control over
these rich centers of exploitation.
British imperialism has also begun
a struggle against the Chinese revo-
luton. It's aren't is Macdonald and
the British labor party. British
warships have repeatedly bombarded
the Chinese revolutionaries. The
Chinese working masses were given
a demonstration of the fact that the
British tabor" government is pre-
pared to drown the revolutionary
movement in blood wherever it
shows itself, in India, Egypt, Ara
bia, Africa and in China. The corre-
spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung
describes in message how the COM
bined British, American and Japa-
nese gunboats opened up bomt ard

ley. American imperialism is also

Broun undoubtedly thinks that

possibly his natural affinity, Aimee

off his usual boner by saying that
he would prefer to have the support
of Arthur Brisbane than that of
Weyerhauser, the millionaire lum-
Der king.
Broun is such half-wit that he
doesn't know yet that if anything
has the support of Weyerhauser
this will also guarantee the sup
port of Arthur Brisbane, the col
umnist. Broun doesn't like to ad-

hitting that anything supported by

FRUIT PICKERS
ROBBED EVEN OF
STARVATION PAY
Bosses Fail to Show Up
For Pay-Off
Sacramento. Calf.

Sacramento, Calf.
Dear Editor
Here in Sacramento Valley, where
the fruit pickers are working under
the most miserable conditions for
the lowest wages, the workers are
cheated out of the miserable little
bit that they earn.
Thirty-three men, who hired out
of Marysville, Calf, by a contrac-
tor named Joe Norris, who hired
the men to work on the r. w. Wat
son Ranch, have been cheated out
of their wages. Here the farmers,
who are getting only 500 ton for
their peaches, seek to get them
picked as cheap as possible. Often
they contract the work out to men
who have bid lower that the other
contractors. After the contractor
gets the work he hires men to work
for him for very low wages, in order
to make as big a profit as possible.
After working seven days these %
men were to be paid off Monday
evening. The contractor took the
men to town in his car, set them off
on corner and told them to wait
until he cashed some checks. The
boys haven't seen him since.
Police Do Nothing.
The boys, not having a red cent
to live on, went to the police sta
ton, thinking that Norris might be
in Jail for something. 1t turned out
he was not there, and the sheriff
told them to come back in the morn
ing or go to see the district attor-
ney to see what could be done.
In the morning the district attor-
ney told them they had no chance
of collecting from the rancher. The
district attorney issued no warrant
until Wednesday noon, and informed
the boys that if Norris got over the
state line he could not be brought
back. The boys were so insistent
on pushing the case that Rocker,
the district attorney, promised to
push the case against the farmer,
but first these penniless workers
had to dig up 81 for the "fee."
The whole city officialdom were
SC frightened by the boys, who were
sore enough to do anything, that

they tried to buy them off with
couple of meals.
All signs point to the fact that
the farmer was implicated from the
start. These ranchers and city Off
Gals think the fruit pickers are too
dumb to demand what rightfully be-
longs to them. The building of the
Agricultural Workers Industrial
League is our answer to them. One
of the demands of the league is the
abolition of the contract system.
