VANDERVELDE, President of the
Second International, called the
Chinese Soviets bandits" and as
serted that Chang Kai-shek, the
head of the Nationalist Govern
ment, would soon wipe them out,
with the assistance of the impe-
rialist powers. Trotsky denies that
the Soviet power exists in China,
and agrees with the ial-fascist
Vandervelde in calling them "ban-
dts" But the imperialist powers
continue to pour money and arms
into China, and the New York
Times reports that Chang Kali
shek has returned from the sixth
"bandit-suppression" campaign VIC
torious. But the Daily Worker has
time after time (only the other day
AGAIN. reported tremendous new
successes for the Red Armies and
Soviet power in China.
You have to know the facts about
this second Soviet power, SO rapid
ly growing, so heroically fighting!
And here are the facts-in China
Today. There is "a Complete Per-
spective of Soviet China to date. .
New information about the struc-
ture of the Soviet power, it's func-
tioning, the conditions of the work
ers and farmers-all its heroic life
blazes on these pages. Further
more, China Today in this issue
prints for the first time in English
a long extract from the speech of
Comrade Mao Tse-tung, Chairman
OF the Chinese Soviet Republic,
concerning democracy and the cleo
ton laws. Bella Kun has an article
making clear the underlying prin-
ciples of the Chinese Soviet Con-
stitution.
1t is vitality necessary for us to
know all we can about Soviet
China. not only because it is the
second workers and farmers gov
eminent in the world, adding 100
million more people to the 1865 mil
lion in the U. S. S. r. under the
Soviet banner, but because our i'm
perialism, American imperialism, is
at present engaged in an open war
against our brother workers and
farmers in China. American i'm
perialism arms, trains, and gives
financial assistance to the butcher
government of Chang Kai-shek for
its campaigns against the Chinese
people. We must become acquainted
with the facts about Soviet China
and the struggles of all the Chinese
people so that We can assist them
in their struggle for national liber-
aticn. The best way to do this is to
read China Today.

GugalSk, U S.S.R.
I HAVE Just made a quick trip
through the Ukrainian Socialist
Soviet Republic, from Kharkov, its
present capital, to the little towns
of the Donbasin coal fields. For
centuries this part of the country
was suppressed by the Tsarist gov
ernments, the Ukrainian language
was prohibited as far as possible.
national art, literature and the the
atre suffered. In the coal towns of
the Donbasin it would have been as
useless to look for developed drama
as it would be now in, says, West
Brownsville, Pa, or in zfegler. III.
Coal towns in capitalist countries
have no culture, and in addition to
capitalist darkness, these little vii
lagos of the Donbasin were doubly
condemned because they belonged
to a national minority.
1t is interesting, then, to see. how
especially the drama flourishes now
in the Ukraine, in the once de-
spised native language, and not only
in big cities like Kharkov, but out
in the tiny settlements Of the coal
miners.
About three miles from Voroshi-
loVsk, the next important station
west of here, is Paris Commune"
coal town, capital of a little dis
trict of 800 workers, mostly build
ing workers and othN's engaged on
construction. There is the local
government, the Mine Soviet, and
there are the offices of the mining
administration, etc. There are
settlements OF miners all around the
town. The largest single settle
ment of coal miners, however, is an
other mile and a half across the
treelesS steppe, in colony of new
stone houses. There live some $500
miners working in three adjoining
mines.
Now the best theatre in that vi
cinity is in that little colony. 1t is
the sort of a settlement that in
America would be a dreary company
town of implanted wooden houses,
without even reading room, with
no amuSements whatever. But here
Is a magnificent clubhouse, with
reading and meeting and study
rooms, with library and gymnasium
and rooms for games-and with a
theatre seating 500, a good big stage,
lighting effects and everything that
goes with a good theatre. The walls
are illustrated with really good por-
traits of Soviet leaders, painted by
a miner, graduate of the clubs art

THESE theatres are the regular

is part of their public duty to go on

hides counter revolutionists. and
stores up machine guns for the
White armies. The cruelty, hypoc-
risy and corruption Of the nuns is
also brought out.
I THINK I have shown by this list
1 Of plays and operas that I hap
pened to see (there are many more
I didn't get to see) that there is a
rich growth Of art, drama and
music in the Ukraine, and that it
is nationalist in form, socialist in
substance. In fact we have syn
thesis of the best of native Ukranian
art with not only Russian but
foreign art. The plays and operas
are seen by hundreds of thousands,
millions, the workers receiving
tickets at reduced prices through
their trade union organizations.
These workers not only attend
but they control. In Kharkov,
there was explained to me the sys-
tenn Of workers control of the stage.
A commission of workers was elected
at factory meetings. They have a
director who has had a course in
art criticism, but the workers them
selves decide on policy. They see
the play in rehearsal and preview,
and what they say about changing
it goes. Something similar exists in
almost every city and town. All
this, aside from the fact that both
actors and authors are products of
the working class, writing for work
erS and acting for them, and paid
by the workers government.
Yes, the theatre is in good hands
here, and it is flourishing.
