Chinese Red Army
Marches by Agnes

NEW YORK.-By far the most
important of recent books is Agnes

Marches, which is issued today by
International Publishers.
This is the first book to be pub
lished on the heroic Chinese Red
Army which has defeated five major
military campaigns launched against
Soviet China by the Marking gov
eminent, supported by the imperial
ist powers. The Red Army has in
addition just defeated half dozen
foreign trained crack regiments sent
against it.
Agnes Smedley is a world famous
authority on China and the Far
East. Her previous book Chinese
Destinies, was easily the finest book
on the subject published in years.
Her new book, China's Red Army
Marches, gives an inspiring account
OF the organization and campaigns
of the Chinese Red Army Of work
ers and peasants who have CONSOLE
dated Soviet territory larger than
the area of France and containing
a population OF more than eighty
million.
Agnes Smedley recounts the birth
Of the Chinese Soviet Republic, the
growth of the revolution and its
defenders and brings close to the
American workers the heroic real
ity Of this new China.
The book is on sale today at all

IN PARIS in pre-depression days
over-stuffed and well-upholstered
members Of the American bour-

calling at bawdy houses where for a
few francs they could peep through
little holes in the wall and see the
most shocking spectacles. OF these
spectacles they retained prurient
memories which they recountad
later to their friends in smoky
American speak-easies.
The reaction of the author Of
Stars Fell on Alabama to his. per-

period of six years is family remi-
niscent of these middle and upper
class Americans who filled Paris
with their raucous presence. He
didn't see everything to be seen Of
the suffering and oppression of the
Negro people nor of the exploita-
ton of the white sharecroppers, but
he saw a great deal and he has lit

he saw. He devotes practically the
shortest chapter in his book to the
Scottsboro case and allows himself
the feeble comment that he felt
sorry for the nine Negro bows. SO
indeed might visiting Rabbit in
a bordello be pressed to utter the
hypocritical remark that he felt
sorry the girls had to earn their
living in such fashion.
In his preface to the book, the
author recounts number of fables
and superstitions regarding the
state of Alabama. And in spite OF
the fact that this is the year 1884
and not 1850 he seems to offer these
fairy tales as whimsical reasons why
Alabama is to him state of con-

of witches and lpernatural occur
