Others have closed their doors and
gone home. Japanese cotton mills
in China are closing down and the
commercial department of the
shanghai municipality has been
forced to order yarn and cloth from
England TO make mp the shortage"
The new eomter-revoiutionary
Marking government is using its
troops and police in an attempt to
crush the strike of $4,000 workers In
the cotton mills at Hankow. The
strike movement Is spreading In
Shanghai and other Chinese cities.
Marking in New Sell-out Move
The Far Eastern Press Service re-
ports that the new Marking govern
ment, in which Japanese tools play
an Important role, is preparing to
negotiate 8 treaty with the Japanese,
practically turning over Manchuris
to Japan. M. Widen, the French
minister to Marking, is understood
TO have been entrusted with the task
OF making all arrangements with the
Marking government for direct ne
gotiations with Japan. This is in line
with the plan announced by Eugene
Chan some weeks ago for an ''in-
dependent Manchuria.
Measures for ir1tersificatior of the
war against the Chinese Soviet gov
eminent and Red Army were the
chief consideration at the Fourth Ma
tior1al Congress OF the Euornintang
which closed at Marking a few weeks
ago. Plans for provaction which, viii
enable the Marking running dogs Of
imperialism to take drastic action
against the Communist Party and
the mass anti-inperialist, anti-Kuo-
n1intang movement have been sent II,
motion and the stage is set for a new
and bloodier terror against the
Chinese Revolution.
Canton Bankers Eliminates soong
A Marking dispatch reports fur
ther agreement by the Canton and
Marking factions in their efforts to
achieve united front against the
masses and the growing power Of the
Chinese Soviet Government Ten
Cabinet positions were filled yester-
day. only three going to the Marking
clique and the rest to the Canton
gang. The Marking group got the
Ministries OF War, Navy and Educa-
ttor. Eugene Chen, Of the Canton
group, has been appointed Foreign
Minister. r. Y. Soong has been elm
mated as Finance Minister The
new Finance Minister is crony OF
Sun Fo viii, is head Of the Executive
Yuan.
Sun F'o is described by George y.
Sokolsky in the New York Times as
undoubtedly the most solid indivi-
duality in the new government" Sun
represents the bourgeoisie Of South
China. He was once engaged in
Honolulu. The elimination OF Soong
as Finance Minister Is evidently
victory for the Canton bankers
against the bankers OF North China.
Chen Kung-po, the new Minister Of
Industry, whom the imperialist press
lyingly describes as Communist, is
a banker, and manager of the Shan
ghai Commercial Savings Bank. Chen
is not now nor ever has been
Communist. Like the others in the
new government he is an enemy of
the Chinese masses.

The American machinery pur-
chased included q new power and

$350,O 1t will be used as a part
of the extensive changes planned
by the Monterey brewery.
An official in charge of the
