THE SPIRIT OF XMAS IN
HAMTRAMCk
By Rev. d. II. II. Wright

The balmy and invigorating &c
phyr OF Christmas Day breathes into
the citizens of Hamtramck, the true
spirit of the season. II was pre-
eminently one of generosity
what we give, but what we share.
The dawn was ushered in by the
Christmas carols of the early wo--
shippers of the First Baptist Inst.
Chuch. The greatest message that
ever came 10 earth. came in a song.
Men heard 1t and responded by
faith. Birds sing at dawn to well
come the sunrise. but the sweetest
strains ever reduced TO notes and
bars. came as a prelude to the birth
OF the "New Born Babe, who dis
penses salvation by His advent.
In preparation as the blithe, bux-
ON, and debonair citizens of Ham
tramck shared in the spirit of the
day, they made manifest the true
spirit Of Christmas. Not with en-
tire forgetfulness did their spirits
commemorate the day, for their
memories had in trust the heavenly
singers, the shepherds, the Wise
Men, Mary, and Zacharias, who in
the alteration to the King, recogniz-
ed Him, the best OF sons OF the
morning. the Star of Bethlehem.

with the inperlalist robbers.
Chang Kai-shek did not go to

tarists, but to take over the Inherit
ance Of his friend, the chief and
traitor Chang Hsueh-liang. Nor do
the Southwest governments and the
Fukien militarists oppose the Japa-
nese and other imperialists.
why did Chang Kai-shek return
to Kiangsi? Why did he desert the
army in the north, leaving it with
out equipment, barehanded TO face
the Japanese military machine?
Why does the Kuomintang and its
governments concentrate huge arm
les, all aeroplanes and technical
equipment against the workers and
peasants in Kiangsi and the other
Soviet districts? Because they are
conspiring with the japanese and
othe imperialists to sell China like a
piece Of personal property; because
they hope that Japanese and other
Imperialism will accept them as pup
pet-rulers of few provinces. Be-
cause they want to butcher the Chi
nese people in order to maintain the
rule of imperialism, Of the landlords,
bankers and big capitalists.

Vice Conmissar Sokolnkov agreed
to the Secretary of the japanese
Consulate making a trip to the spot
where the incident is alleged to have
occurred to investigate the circum-
stances.
It was later discovered, however,
that the Japanese destroyer Tachi-
kadze, without awaiting an investi-
cation by Soviet representatives. or
the visit of the Japanese Consulate
Secretary, took unlawful steps in the
area of the accident. 1t entered Soviet
waters. landed part Of its crew
on Soviet territory and arbitrarily
reconnoitered the shore area.

anese Ambassador on June rs ern~

area, according to information re-
ceived from the Far East, and the
incident is therefore perplexing. The

cloudburst and flood, according to
meager advices reaching here. Thou

wall of water swept through the
Mayen River Valley and struck Tung-

The swollen Yangtse River at
Hankow has reached a level of nearly
48 feet. The chief engineer of the

declares, however, that fear and
anxiety will be justified only when
the rise reaches fifty feet"
Cannibalism is reported spreading
in Shensi Province, north central
China, as famine intensifies after a
drought that has lasted since 1923.
In five years 100000 persons have
starved to death, and 100000 more
are expected to die of starvation this
year unless aid is rushed.
