Grace Lumpkin's Novel
TO Make My Bread to
Be Reviewed in Daily

HFRACE LUMPKIN'S novel of the
U South which has aroused great
interest because of its social con-
tent will be reviewed soon in the
Daily Worker by v. j. Jerome.
Writing about some of the exper-
fences that went into the writing
of the novel, she says:
II was born in Georgia of a FAM
lily with feudal traditions behind it,
and have lived most of my life in
the South. We lived on farm
part of my childhood and I played
with children of white tenant farm
ers, and the Negro children who
worked in the cotton fields. saw

realize that the Sunny South hides
brutality and darkness behind the

in the mountains, miles from a rail-

conclusion which the workers in

periences have brought me-that

closely to that of every branch of
Kuomintang supporter that an ''in-
terview"' was absolutely necessary
to work out most closely a common
plan Of campaign against the So
viets and against the Communist

of Chen Du Shu.
For those who do not understand
the relation of the Trotzkyites with
the Kuomintang, we might explain
that for the past three years while
the most ferocious campaign Of ter
ror was directed against the Com
munist Party Of China, the Trot-
zkyites were left unmolested. Chen
Du Shu lived quite openly in Shan
ghai. His whereabouts were we'll

Had Chang Kai Shek required the
presence of Chen Du Shu, or any
other Trotzkyite, this could have
been arranged any day within the
past three years by the Chang Kai
Shek emissary who was member
of the Chen Du Shu leading COM

FORCED TO MAKE
NEW MOVE

The collapse of the Wang Chang
Wei regime, the open sell-out of
Manchuria by the Kuomintang to
Japanese imperialism, the growing
influence of the Communist Party
Of China, made it necessary for
the Chen Du Shuists, as well as
their Kuomintang supporters to
make a new move. Wang Chang
Wei, the 'rleftist" Kuomintang lead
er who jumped into the breach of
the Nanking regime on the eve Of
the Shanghai invasion of Japanese
troops in order to make it easier
for Chang Kei Shek to betray the
18th Route Army, found it neces-
sary to "resign" in order to pre-
serve the illusion of his opposition"
to Chang Kai Shek, to save the
illusion of his Revolutionary" in
tegrity. Chen Du Shu, with the
advise of his Kuomintang support
ers on his executive committee"
found it necessary to arrange an
arrest" and interview" with Chi
ang Kai Shek in order to plan his
future attack against the Commu-
mist Party in China. Chen Du
Shu's counter-revolutionary propa-
ganda against the Communist Par
ty of China had proved futile. The
Communist Party in the white ter
ritories had doubled its member
ship in the past few months. The
revolutionary trade unions has not
only increased their membership,
establishing a textile union, among
the 100000 textile workers, with red
trade union groups in nearly every
cotton mill in Shanghai, they had
not only won over thousands in the
imperialist and Chinese tobacco
factories, but the red opposition in
the yellow trade unions we're gain
ing in strength and influence.

and the road to Live Oak clear be-
tween fields of dun colored cotton.
Travellers were infrequent even in
daytime and at night the highway
was wide ribbon of deserted clay.
David left mile upon mile behind
him. There was exhiliration in
the new freedom. Once, in the
early hours Of the morning, the APP
preaching rumble of car warned
him to stretch out in ditch at
the side of the road.
He was still wide awake when a
tiny square of light in a cabin
leaning against a deep, purple sky
told him that morning was not far
away. He scanned the fields an
xiously for a safe spot to spend
the day and at the first glimmer
of a gray dawn struck rapidly
through soft burrows towards a
horizon of trees beyond a picked
field.

The sun was high when he awoke.
The grass on which he lay was

The need of water was trouble

it might be a white or some Negro
cropper who would turn him in to

him. Cabins became more frequent
and when he saw Lem HaSkin'S

SOLICITUDE
FOR CHEN DU SHU

But for the chef adherent of
Trotzky in China different fate
is arranged. On october 20, 1882,
the Chinese papers carried the fol-
lowing Reuters dispatch from Nam
king:
"The Communist leader, Chen
Du Shu, who was recently arrest
ed at Shanghai submitted a petit
tion today asking for an inter-
view with General Chang Kai
Shek so as to submit report
concerning the activities in China
of the so-called Trotzky group
"The request has been granted
and Chen Du Shu will be sent
to Hankow tomorrow under
military escort.
Chen has also asked for heay-
ier underclothing because of the
cold weather and his i'll health.
The request has been granted"
IT is only natural that Chang Kai
Shek should expect a report of
the "Trotzky group" in China after
SO long a period OF collaboration
and support. And the note of con-
sideration in the latter part of the
dispatch, the touching concern for

revolutionary clique in China, who
was reported ARRESTED" in the In
ternational Settlement of Shanghai
on october Is, we want to assure
them that the Kuomintang as well
as the imperialists are very much
interested in Chen Du Shu's well
fare. Latest reports from the Kuo-
mintang headquarters declared that
Chen Du Shu, well supplied with
warm clothing was, at his own re-
quest, on his way to interview the
chief butcher of the Chinese pro-
litariat, Chang Kai Shek.
ARRESTED" AT
OPPORTUNE TINE
Chen Du Shu's ARREST" was made
at a very opportune time. The
dwindling Trotzkyite clique was
fast losing its m a gre influ-
ence among the Chinese proletariat.
While the TrotzkyiteS were "Warn-
ing" the proletariat not to preci-
pitate strikes in the present Ca
tastrophic crisis, because strikes
cannot be won at this time" the
largest strike wave since the 1926
q revolution was sweeping China.
While the Trotzkyites were, in COM
mon with the inperialists and
Chang Kai Shek, branding the Red
Armies and the Soviets, as "ban-
dts" the Fourth Anti Communist
Suppression Campaign, with 1,000,-
600 soldiers headed by Chang Kai
Shek, could not stop the extension
Of the Soviet territory, the con-
solidation of the Soviet power, the
growing mass sympathy and sup
port for the Soviets throughout
China. Du Shu's attack against
the Communist Party of China
found a response only among the
ranks of the Kuomintang and its
various allies, that is, in the ranks
of the native bourgeois reformists,
the Third Party and the "Kuo-
mintang Reorganizations" group of
Wang China Wei, General Chen
Min Shu, and the Grown prince"
Sun Fo. The last vestige of Trot-
zkyism was being rooted out among
the proletariat. The betrayal Of
the Trotzkyites in the telephone
strike, when the Chen Du Shuists
urged the workers not to strike
against the American ilnperialist
concern, practically ended the Or
ganizational roots Of the Trotzky-
ties among the revolutionary trade
unions.

IMPERIALIsT REACTION
TO "ARREST"

IO ARREST
The ms. ner and process Of the
"arrest," as we'll as the reaction
in the imperialist and Chinese
bourgeois press, is extremely i'm
portant. The savagry is well-known
to the proletariat throughout the
world. In 1881, when the secretary
of the Communist Party Of China
was arrested, he was virtually
torn limb from limb. No interview
was arranged with him for Chang
Kai Shek. Instead of warm cloth
ing" his lacerated and mutilated
body was stuck into an obscure hole.
In July of 1882, SO workers and
students, who were holding a united
front anti-imperialiSt conference in
a Chapel theatre, were arrested and
charged with being members of the
Communist Party of China. Doz-
ems of them were Immediately ex-
ecuted at the Lunghwa arsenal,
outside Of Shanghai. The rest were
subjected to the most frightful tor
lures such as could be invented only
in the brain of Chang Kai Shek
with his experience in slaughtering
hundreds of thousands of Commu-
nistS and Communist sympathizers.
Last year, when the left wing Chi
nese writer's, artists and students
were arrested, some of them in their
teens, no interviews" we're ar
ranged. They were slaughtered
pell-mell. Instead of arranging
interviews with Chang Kai Shek
the Kuomintang follows the prac-
tice of cutting out the tongues of
Communists so they will not be
able to cry Long live the Commu-
mist Party of China" Long live
the Chinese Sovietsp' before the
executioner's sword falls on their
heads
