From Canton Soviet
to Soviet Congress
By J. NJ.

THREE years are not such a long period for
l revolution. But three years have brought
about tremendous changes to the Chinese Revo-
luton
On Dec IL, 1927, the workers and peasants
in Canton revolted to stage rear guard fight
against the treacherous, murderous, reactionary
Kuomintang, to prevent the workers and peas
ants from being completely defeated, to preserve
their victories hitherto achieved and to estab-
lish a new foundation for the workers and peas
ants to lead the revolution for further advance.
The Canton uprising opened up a new phase
in the Chinese Revolution in particular and the
colonial revolution in general 1t proclaimed the
first Soviet government in the history of China
and the colonies The Canton Soviet, by its
program and action showed the workers and
peasants throughout the world that only through
direct struggle for power, only through the
forcible overthrow of the capitalist state ap-
paratus and only through the Soviet form of
government are the workers and peasants able
to break the chain of world Imperialism, to con-
fiscate the property and land of the landlords
and the bourgeoisie and to secure living wage
for the workers, and land for the peasants.
Althou. the imperialists and their agents
the Chinese bourgeosie, landlords, compradores
and militarists, succeeded in drowning the Can
ton Soviet in rivers of blood and building up
the Marking Government on the terrace of the
skulls and skeletons of the toiling masses, they
could not prevent the seeds sown by the workers
and PEASANTS in the Canton uprising from grow
ing, Towering and bearing fruit. Today, on the
third anniversary Of the Canton uprising, we see
practically the whole central and southern China
all tinged red with Soviet rule covering ter

VARIOUS INTERESTING . TOPICS AT LUNCHEON

The Alaska department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce deplOres too much discussion in the newspapers of Alaska'S prob lems, notably the Alaska Rail- road, where unfavorable criti- cism is the motive, according to Secretary Garfield, who wrote the Seward Chamber of Com merce about it. The letter was read at Tuesdays luncheon of the chamber at the Seward Grill. This time the comment was di- rected at the Seattle Star and as such was deprecated by MT. Garfield.
 Among other subjects brought up for discussion was the reso- lution recently received from the Juneau chamber directed to can ming companies and protesting against the use of paper contain CTS for canned products instead of wooden ones on the ground that the practice is running the lumber industry of Southeast Alaska. After some argument the resolution was endorsed, and the Juneau chamber will be so notified.

 The New York American Man. ufacturers Export Association no- tified tine chamber that it is publishing a register of foreign companies interested in Ameri- can products, which can be had by applying to that association.

this and shows conclusively the vast strides that are being made in Canada toward getting at the riches locked in her hills
 It is no secret that the matter has engaged the attention of the management of the Alaska Railroad which has heretofore expended money and is spending money to promote settlement of agriculturists. Col. O. F. or son. general manager, has stat cd that he is watching with i'm terest the very positive efforts of the Canadians to find ore bodies to feed their railroads and believes something of the sort should be done in Alaska It is perhaps not too much to say that he will take the mat ter up when he gets to Wash ington on his forthcoming vis- it, altho he has not officially SO stated.
 Tn other words, it is coming down to this. The thinkers of the railroad belt and the rail- road management are coming around to the attitude long maintained by The Gateway to the effect that the government must develop our minerals first and agriculture will come af- ter. With plenty of producing mines the country and the rail- road will take care of them selves.

 Germany is expected to meet her debt payment obligations until April 1881 but her inquiry in London is expected to be based upon the ultimate sus- pension of payment if after having tried every expedient, a moratorium is found necessary
 Sir Philip Snowden is repre- sented as feeling the Germans received fair treatment in the Young plan and the German people are not being taxed as heavily for war as are Britains.
 It is therefore believed British advice would be for Germans to tax themselves sufficiently to meet their obligations.

In part the Pas dispatch to the Province says:
 Consolidated Shelters, ia sub- srdiary of the Canadian Pacific one of Canada's leading mine corporations, has swung into it's most active season in it's great hunt for new ore bodies in the more recent mineral fields of the country On every mineral Air Trial in the Dominion today may be seen the colors of the powerful c. R. R. subsidiary.
 From British Columbia to the Northwest Territories, from northern Saskatchewan to the Manitoba hinterland, and into Ontario and Quebec, geologists and prospectors and pilots of Shelters far-flung staff are all working towards one end-the discovery of prospects that may De made into mines.
 Tt is no secret in inner fin ancial circles that the Canadian Pacific wants to push it's rails into the Far North. But first of all it must have the business to warrant the expansion. Agri- culture is not enough; there must be new ore bodies. And it is up to Consolidated Shelters to develop the mines to enable the parent concern to blaze steel trails nearer and nearer 10 the Midnight Sun"

There's vast difference between the way Canada looks development thru the aid of railroads and the way the United States government regards its own railroad in Alaska, according to newspaper article in the Vancouver, B. c. Province as special to the paper from The Pas, in Northern Manitoba.
 Canada is sending out her prospectors and scouts by airpane to find ore deposits sufficient warrant building railroad to them. In Alaska railroad is all ready in existence in what is conceded to be great mineralized country but the government makes eff fort to find ore bodies the tonnage of that railroad and make it pay

EX-DICTATOR RIVERA PASSES.

History may may not award to Primo De Rivera, Dictator of Spain, who died recently in Paris following his retirement, a high place. But whatever it may have to say of his statesmanship, it must credit him with two achievements. He pre- served the throne for his monarch, King Alfonso, and he left Spain in better condition than it when he seized the reins of government.
 In 1923, when political leaders of the country and the army generals were at loggerheads Rivera led the army in revolt and drove the politicians into retirement, exling some of the most troublesome. He suspended civil government and substituted in its place a dictatorship with himself dictator. In that position he was supreme in power until his retirement early this year
 In the six and one-half years of his regime, Rivera displayed notable energy. An untirng work er he devoted himself to every phase of admin istrative work and problem that arose was sheved without a sincere effort at arriving at a solution that would promote the welfare of the country The development of industry and com merce, the financial situation, international rela tions particularly with transatlantic republics labor questions, transports and other of commun- cations were numbered in the subjects under his administration
 It was notable that labor troubles, which had been almost continuous for many years prior to his rise to power quescent during his tenure. From the advent of the dictatorship strikes were unknown. Financial reforms introduced and measures intended to effect a balanced national budget adopted.
 On his accession to power De Rivera declared: T have all the honor that could possibly come to me. I do not want wealth, although am poor I have ambitions except for the good of my country" There can be no question that he lived up to this to considerable degree. And he was able to add materially to his country's material welfare.

Alaska's Natural Wonder.
Seattle Times.)

The scientific expedition which the National Geographic Society will send to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes in Alaska next summer will serve to direct public attention again to that great natural wonder. Word has from the North that important seismic disturbances have occurred there within the last few years Assures have closed and there has been interesting shifting about of the thousands of fumaroles. Dr. Robert F. Grggs, who discovered the wonderful valley four teen years ago, will head the party.
 When Dr. Griggs made his report in 1916 the country amazed at the phenomena he de- scribed The smoky valley, lying near the head of the greatest group of volcanoes in the world, was terrifying and overlapping Hot vapors gush- ed forth from openings in the valley floor acrid gases, steam and sulphurous smokes couded the atmosphere. To the casual observer, the valley appeared like the pit in Dante's "Divna Com media"
 Had automobile roads and hotels been built it is likely that tourists would have flocked to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes As a spectacle 1t is unexcelled anywhere. The summer tripper who walked among it's fumaroles and hot rocks would have something to discuss for the rest of his life Recently The Seward Gateway expressed regret that something had not been done to make the journey attractive to tourists. Among other things that Alaska newspaper said
 The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is
 already advertised the world over. We are
 wondering how long it will be before some-
 one will have the courage, energy and
 money to provide the transportation and
 accommodations for the thousands of tour
 ists who would travel there
 Perhaps this latest expedition will create a new interest in the scenic marvel It would be within the possibilities to induce Congress to make pro- vision for the basic improvements so that private enterprise could undertake the handling of tourist business.

ADVERTISING PAYS BOTH BUYER
 AND SELLER.

It is common knowledge that advertising pays the individual or firm who seeks that medium of publicity to place wares before the public. It is equally true, but less commonly known, that it pays the buyer handsomely as it does the seller.
 The advertiser brings to the buyer all the needed information about the merchandise he has to pur- chase He can sit at his office home and get all the facts about the commodity to be bought, what it is what it costs, and where and how it may be had. The purchaser of advertised mer- chandise buys with his eyes open rather than blind folded, taking chance.

Farthest North, Alaska College Coegan3
 The lode prospector in Interior Alaska must confine his surface exploration to the open season May to October When prospecting in the more rugged mountainous sections he may find snow blocking his way until late in June. Labor employ- ment In the Interior is largely seasonal and the prospector driven out of the hills by the Fall snows, finds winter employment most difficult to secure He faces demma-to secure grub stake he must spend precious summer days on the iob ana again, much of the money thus earned must lgo toward living expenses during winter months o1ten he can only lift his eyes to scan yearnngly a distant mountain range wherein he believes an Eldorado is concealed
 TWO practical solutions to alleviate this situa- uon nave presented themselves The first is the organization of grubstake companies to keep skilled prospectors in the hills during summer months.
 me second is the development of one or more large lode mines in the Interior in which the prospector may find employment during the winter months and so be in a position to strike out for the hills when the sun vanquishes the snow from the hillsideS
 Today one may spend days in the hills without encountering single prospector. Only when con- dtons render possible for the prospector to spend the entire summer in the field practical results in lode prospecting be expected
