concerned about the Soviets
in China. Gullible as they are,
they can't swallow Chang Kai

fact, the two we will quote

point out the danger to the inn

ment in China.
Now Father Troy is one of those
priests who carries the sword of god
into China in the literal sense. He
is major in the Officers z\serve
Corps, U. S. A. For months he
lived on the border of the Soviet
district in Kiangsi. He recently ar
rived in Washington, where he was
interviewed by capitalist newspaper
correspondents.
There is little truth in reports
that the Marking government has
dispersed the s0-called Reds in
central China" he said. Cam
paign after campaign Is waged
against them, but the Commu-
nists divide before the advancing
columns like water before boat,
then come together again behind.
Communism, on the contrary,
seems to be growing"
FATHER TROY'S remedy is an in
ternationaI consortium of the
imperialiSt powers acting unitedly
to destroy the Red menace. He
thinks the U. S. shouldn't take part,
which is a little more than hypo-
critical on his part, for if he did
spend any time near the Kiangsi
Soviet districts he could not have
missed the fact that Uncle Sans
airplanes frequently dropped bombs
on Chinese workers and peasants
and their families with money pro-
vided by the Roosevelt government.
The other religious expression Of
the representatives of the foreign
imperialistS comes from the Rev. H.
w. Funnel. This missionary Is
stationed at Langchung (Paoning)
Szechuan province, which happens
to be in the path of the Red Army
sweeping across that province. Writ<
ing in "China's Millions" a foreign
mission sheet published in New
York, Rev. H. w. Funnel concludes
his article by saying: pray that in

the Soviets) may be brought to pass
soon. Until they are defeated, the
danger is still at our doors"
Nevertheless, he has to admit that
when the Red Army con1scates mis-
sion buildings they do not destroy
them, but if they are re-captured
by the Kuomintang troops they are
burned to the ground or shot to
pieces.
I EST any reader overlook the
IL course of action required of him,
on page 1913 of the same issue Of
"China's Millions" the editors, under
the title Pray" declare: THAT
East Szechuan and other areas may
be delivered from the control of
Communists. The U. s. War De-
partment, under Roosevelt's instruc-
tions, are listening to these prayers
and doing all they can to bring
them to fruition. Not, however. with
much success, according to Father
Troy.
WE HAVE just received the Nov.
" 20 issue of the British Daily
Worker, vecoted to the Royal Rabbit
Warren wedding of Prince George
of England and Princes Marina Of
Greece.
The entire issue was sold out,
with the workers appealing for
copies. The tremendous annual
cost of keeping the royal parasites
is tabulated as follows by the Daily
Worker:
King and Queen .........$2, 655 900
Prince of Wales ......... 100000
Duke of York ........... $4,000
Duke of Connaught ...... $4,000
Princess Louise .......... 10000
Princess Beatrice ........ 10000

George VS. Younger

Every time a royal spawn is
added to the parasitic litter it costs
the British workers $4,000.
British ROYALTY however. found 1t

costly wedding and the placing Of
Marina on a 100000 dole because

cuts and dole cuts, the working
