ers and peasants in the Chinese revo-
luton. The only anti-imperialist
force in China is the China Sovtets.
The Canton uprising took place at
a period of declining revolutionary
struggles, when the Kuomintang
butchers sought TO drown the 1927
revolution in a sea of blood. The
Canton proletariat together with the
revolutionary forces in the Kuonin-
tang army and the peasant insurgents
made one last herculean effort to
crush the rising tide OF white terror
and anfluse new life, energy and VIC
tory into the Chinese revolution.
THOUSANDS of the bravest Of the
Chinese proletariat were slain in
their heroic onslaught against the
citadel of the landlord bourgeoisie
and the imperialists. The superior
forces OF the ilnperialist-supported
Chinese bourgeoisie defeated them.
But the rivers Of blood unloosened by
the Chinese exploiters failed to wipe
out the experiences and lessons OF
the Canton Commune. For China,
the Canton Commune was the equiv
alent of the 1905 Russian Revolution
and the Paris Commune. But in this
period of rapid revolutionary develop
ment, thanks to the correct policies
of the Communist International and
the tremendous energy and activity
Of the Communist Party Of China, the
rapid onward sweep of Soviet China
was not delayed by long period of
revolutionary depression.

lent struggles of the Shanghai,
Hankow proletariat and the peasant
uprisings in Kiangsi, in 1928 Soviet
district was established in Kiangsl
province, now the seat of the central
Soviet district.
From partisan, guerilla bands, the
red troops have been forged into
mighty, powerful armies which have
defeated the pride of the Kuonlln-
tang troops, the 10th route army OF
Fukien province. Through repeated
offensives, aided by the impoverished
and oppressed peasants, the Soviets
have constantly extended their terri
tory. Today the greater portion Of
Kiangsi province IS Sovietized. A
huge sEce of Fukien is in the hands OF
the Soviets. A large circular territory
covering Anwhei, Honan and Hupeh
provinces have a Soviet government.
While Chang Kai-Shek has been able
to dislodge the army Of Ho Lung from
the small Soviet territory around the
HUI Hung lake district, today this
army has swelled from 1000 to a
mighty force of $4,000, with it's ter
ritory increased a hundredfold In

NO wonder, then, that all of the

2 Communists Murdered in Nazi Camps; Lives OF
Dimitrof, Others in Danger; World Protest Dec 10
Rote Fahne' Editor
andOtherST'Ortured
by Storm Troopers
Fascist Press Silent
on Recent Mass
Arrests

BERLIN, Dec. 12--Further Nszi
brutahties against imprisoned Com
mur1ist leaders are reported in the
illegally published Information Serv-
ice of the German Red Aid, No. 10.
Werner Hirsch, editor Of the 'sRots
Fahne" Cred Flag, who was arrested
with Comrade Thaelmann last
March, has been subjected to fright-
full Entertainment in the Nazi concen-
tration camp at Brandenburg. His
head Is covered with fresh scars.
Hirsch was brutally tortured by
Storm Troopers during their raid on
the Karl Liebknecht House. Besides
subiecting him to fresh Entertainment,
the Nazis have denied him any food
for a4week. His physical and mental
condition is such that his life is en-
dangered.
Refused to Beat His Fellow
Prisoners
Tine reason for this fresh nlaltreat-
ment is Comrade Hirsch's refusal to
obey the sadistic orders of the Storm
Troopers TO beat his fellow prisoners.
This method has been employed ia
a wide extent Of late, especially in the
Brandenburg concentration camp, in
an effort to prevent the incarcerated
anti-fascists from combining against
their Nazi torturers.
The Communist Reichstag member,
Johann Scheer, was arrested last week
in his home in Berlin, during the
raids and mass arrests carried out
by the Nazis in the week following
the fascist "plebiscite."
The fact that the authorities are
keeping Scheer's arrest secret gives
cause for the greatest alarm. Is
means that Scheer is in danger OF
being murdered off-hand by the
Nazis, The same danger Is shared
by the hundreds of other revolution
airy workers arrested recently, whose
arrests are totally ignored by the fas-
cist press. The Storm Troopers had
received orders that the workers ar
rested during the Election" CAM
paign were not to be handed over to
the authorities, but were to be taken
to the Storm centers, that is, tbs
torture chambers, of the Man muir
derers.
Hamburg Leader Murdered BY Nazis
Fritz Lux, dock-worker and a.
revolutionary leader of the Hamburg
proletariat, is reported to have died
suddenly and unexpectedly" His
strong physique had succumbed to
the fortunes of the Nazis, following
his. arrest last spring and incarcera-
ton in a concentration camp.
Lux was one Of the best known
and most popular Communist leaders
in Hamburg, and lived in the Red
workers quarters until he fell into
the hands of the Hitler executioners,
He died on the 10th anniversary OF
the victorious Russian revolution.
On Nov. IL he was buried in Ohlsdorf
Cemetery. The hundreds Of HAM
burg workers who stood silently at his
grave have sworn to revenge the
murder of one Of their best COM
radeS.
From Frankfort comes the news
that Konrad Lang, chairman Of tbs
Communist fraction in the Frank
fort town council and former deputy
in the Hessen-Nassau Diet, has suc-
cunbed in concentration camp to
the fortunes of the Nazis.

HAVANA, Dec. I2-Negotiations

steered by Wall Street ambassador
Welles, broke off suddenly yesterday.
DAY.
The Uruguayan minister to Cuba,
DR.. Fernandez de Medina, who was
taking part in the Cancellation efforts,
blamed Welles for the rupture.
Welles' purpose in engineering the
negotiations was to form q concen-
tration government with the ABC
landlord-capitalist group and Colonel
Batista, head of the army, in dom
mating positions AT the same time
he was dragging out the negotiations
in order to give the ABC time and
funds to prepare another armed
counter Revolutionary uprising so
that it couud seize power with Wall
Street support.
AS result Of the negotiations, the
left petty-bourgeois and student ele-
ments in the Grau-Batista regime
grew FESTIVE. They brought pressure to
bear on President Grau, and when
Welles demanded terms that would
make him more openly a tool OF
Wall Street he banked.
In conversation with member
Of the American Club, Of which
Welles is member, d representative
of the Daily Worker learned that the
rumor is being spread by prominent
American business men here that U.
S. armed intervention will take place
in Cuba after Dec. II.

the lone veteran at hand, but
Eddie Thibadeau, a youngster who
won three bouts by the k. o. route
last year, is the most promising
man on the roster.
There are others, however, who
promise to develop into star mitt-
men. Gordon Barron, 159 pounds
is one; John D'Onofrio, 115

Football makes another impor-
tant contribution towards college
athletics, this in the form Of well
trained men.
Most track teams, crews, basket
ballmen, join their ranks during
a sports season. When the winter
sports start up at the Naval
Academy, at least six members Of
the football squad will turn to
boxing. Nearly as many will re-
port for basketball, while wres-

sports going while for the foot.

The benefits of football do not
end here, because any number of
nonathletic student activities are
carried on through the football
budget.
For example, student entertain

in visiting teams, rebuilding of
all sorts Of college plants from
libraries to windows in lecture
halls.
Will Call Squads
When spring arrives, some col
leges will call their football squads
out for limbering up and develop
ment of plays for a new offense.
At institutions where this is not
done football still makes itself
felt because invariably quite a
staff of men are set to work re.
