The Fate of Chen Diu Hsui
BY HARRY CANNES

QIR Henri Deterding, British
y oil king, whose solution for
the unemployed problem is to
shoot all the jobless, was able
to achieve in this country
what the unemployed never
have. He had the opportunity
of presenting his plans to Presi-
dent Roosevelt personally Not
one of the numerous delegations Of
unemployed to Washington have
ever had the opportunity of puttins
their demands before the Presiden'
CPEAKING of oil, both British a..
y American oil magnates are avis
ly interested in war. Deterding hi.
his eye on Soviet oil fields, viii,
Teagle of the Standard Oil just no,
is concerned with covering I'D hi
company's part in the Gran Chaco
war.
For the hundredth time Mr..
Walter c. Teagle denies that his
company instigated the war on the
part of Bolivia for the enrichment
of the Standard Oil Co. But the
gentleman doth protest too much,
This time it is to the League Of
Nations.
The fact remains, Standard Oil
money and resources enable Bolivia
to continue the war; victory for
the Bolivian landlord bourgeoisie
would be to the advantage of
Standard Oil. The most furious
fighting now takes place at Fort
Ballivian, which happens to be near
Standard Oil fields.
CTANDARD OIL, just before the
y war started, paid its taxes nine
years in advance.
The most powerful argument Mr..
Teagle can dig up to prove"
Standard Oil is impartial in the
Paraguay Bolivia war is that the
Standard Oil Company provides
both Paraguay and Bolivia with oil,
at profit.
NOW that really is a prize argu-
IN ment. Recently two books have
been written, Merchants of Death"
and Blood, Iron and Profits" both
of which overwhelmingly prove that
German munitions makers supplied
some of the Allied powers with war
I na 1rto
versa.
Since Paraguay, the British pup
pet must have oil to continue the
slaughter, Standard Oil has, of
course, no objections to supplying
them at good profit. Standard
Oil is not against oil and blood
flowing copiously on both sides so
long as the final outcome is in its
favor.
THE Trotzkyist sheet recalls that
1 its leading light in China, Chen
Diu Hsui, is still in jail. This little
note follows a series of scurrilous
articles against the heroic Comu-
mist Party of China. We quote it:
1T will also be recalled that in
| September, 1.-~, Chen Diu Hsui
and ten members Of the Shanghai
District Committee were con-
demned to long terms. Chen is
still alive but in poor health.
Thanks to his prestige and to the
Intervention of several bourgeois
admirers he is not subjected to
the same treatment as the other
political prisoners"
THE main bourgeois admirer of
Chen Diu Hsiu in Wang Ching
Wei, one of the chief henchmen of
Chang Kai Shek. Thanks to his
service to the executioners of the
Chinese revolutionary workers and
peasants Chen Diu Hsui sis not
subjected to the same treatment as
the other polit C al prisoners
Claiming to be the leading Marxist-
feminist in China he "is still alive"
though the Trotzkyists claim he is
In captivity. This is unheardo in
the revolutionary annals of China.
EVERY leading member of the
u Communist Party of China chat
is, the corrupt Stalinists" in Trot-
zkyist terminology) is Immediately
executed-when caug h by the
Chang Kai Shek-Wang Ching Wei
bourgeois friends of Chen Diu Hsui.
When Chen Diu Hsui was "ar-
rested" he was provided with ample
funds, with a special supply Of
warm clothes Git was in the winter
tlme). He requested a personal in
terview with Chang Kai Shek, and
actually received one with some of
MS chief henchmen. He now is
being well taken care of by bour-
geoiS admirers, and that means
bourgeois admirers who are close
enough to the butcher Chang Kai
Shek to count.
NOW it happened that about the
~ time Chen Dui Hsui was ar
rested, leading member of the
Communist Party of China. Wan
Ping, was seized. At the time the
Trotzkyite press let out one of its
loudest howls about the "betrayals"
OF wan Ping, accusing him of
treachery and stool-pigeoning. Wan
Ping was tortured and harrassed in
the foulest dungeons in Marking.
HIS flesh was torn peacemeal from
his body, and his carcass flung into
a dungheap.
But Chen Diu Hsui was paid for
his vituperation against the Chinese
SovletS. against the Communist In
ternatlonal, against the Communist
Party of China by his bourgeois
admirers" The Communist Party
OF China has no bourgeois adj
mirers.''
