With Bolshevik pertinacity
he returned secretly, was ar
rested and deported again, but
escaped TO Shanghai. British
agents seized him there, and
since then nothing more was
heard OF Comrade Dosser.
This information caused me
to decamp. l embarked for
Shanghai as deck passenger

a contact address of the
Comintern in the lower part

boarded rickshaws and rode
out into the beautiful gardens
in Bubblirg Well road. To he

a half-naked and sweating

an urge to leap off, TO pat the
perspiring shoulders, Ia say:
Listen. take II easy. let's
have a lemonade together"
But the streets Of Shanghai
were as unSentimental as they
were full of motion. Passing
me were red-faesd mountains
Of flesh in immaculate white,
bearded Sikhs stalking under
their turbans with a mixture
of meekness and complacent
arrogance, dirty ch dren

KNEW HIS NAME

Out of a cluster of Chinese
lockers stepped small Chi
nese woman. She was dressed
smoothly in black. Her mo-
tons were graceful. her fea-
lures lean and energetic. She
knew my name.
In the shelter Of the rudder
house astern she drew what
looked at first glance like a
piece of cardboard from her
m nature black-and- gold
handbag. 1t was the photo
graph of a dog.

dog:" she inquired pleasantly.
II have one just like this"

So l met M. Ian. the female
liaison officer of the Commu-
mist Party of Indonesis. She

sat smoking in a rickshaw.
To this day l do not know
the exact nature of the Illicit

weighed perhaps 300 pounds.

For a while I expected the
Alexandria courier TO he

knick-knacks and Turkish de-
light. But he did not turn up.
The winding banks of the
Suez Canal glided by, hot and
yellow. deserted except for

times a camel bearing an

peared and vanished in
starry night. And after six
days steaming through the
leaden Indian Ocean. the
anchor went down in Colombo
roads.
In the north, crowded and
mysterious, lay India. Al
school in Leningrad 1 had
heard n. M. Roy. the leading
East Indian Bolshevik. lee
ture on the problems OF the
Communist offensive in India.
STRONG IN INDUSTRIES
The party was strong in the
industries of Bombay. Madras,
Calcutta. Participants in
strikes and demonstrations
were counted by the hundred
thousand. Child labor. the
longest hours. the lowest pay,
and the highest death rate
furnished superb material for
agitation.
But in India. the OBSTACLES
in the way of Communist ad-
vance were stronger than
among more pri mitive
colonials. Primitive people are
impatient and virile. The
Hindu's chief vice was his
senile tradition, his enervation,
his passivity.
The Communist Party of
British India was forced 10
fight on many different fronts.
Ii fought British imperialism.
1t fought Gandhi as traitor
to the Indian peoples. 1t
fought the reactionary portion
of the native bourgeoisie.
1t allied itself with the lib
eral faction and the intelli-
gentsia. with the intention Of
cutting their threats later. II
took pains not 10 step on the
religious toes OF the Moslems
of the Malabar Coast.
And wave after wave OF
propaganda literature, printed
in Moscow and Leningrad. in
a dozen of the hundreds Of
Indian languages, strove 10
break down the most stub
born obstacle of all-the caste
system of the Hindus.
The courier of the Colombo
organization, a middle-aged
Lascar, was punctual. At sun
set he padded out from shore
in a comfortable skiff. He
clambered aboard. carrying
ebony toy elephants and a
bundle OF gaudy shawls which
he at once began TO peddle
among the mates and engi-
neers.
SHOUTS PASSWORD

SHOUTS PASSWORD

He wore mended KHAKI
pants and a sleeveless blue
shirt, dangling outside his belt.
The password that had come
to him from Hamburg he
shouted loudly all over the
ship:

L took him forward under
the pretense that / wanted 10

his letter. He promised TO for

TEACHERS APPEARANCE

We stopped at the gardens
in the vicinity of the Majestic
Hotel. A man with pronounced
Slavic features and the man.
ners of a courteous Partisan
was waiting there.
He was of type that would
fit into the role OF school,
teacher or of a locomotive
engineer. His name was Man.
dalian. He was the Comintern
agent in charge of operations
in the district OF Shanghai.
No orders regarding my
next assignment had come
through from Berlin.
I'VE can use you here Just
ne WELL" Mandalin observed
after a few perfunctory ques-
tons.
His first act was 10 make
me surrender 10 him the $500
in my possession. After that
we promenaded through the
gardens, Mandalian talking in
a rapid but disciplined voice,
and | straining 10 catch the
significance of every word.
Don't cock your head 10
one side like q conspirator,"
he admonished me before we
had sauntered A hundred
yards. There may he watch
ers. BE legere; act like an
idle man chatting about the
horse races"
Mandalian spoke mainly
about the foreign Warships
and foreign soldiers in China.
an armed force which con-
stituted the greatest danger
for Communist revolution IN
China. The guns of the gray
ships could not be put out OF
action by a frontal attack of
even a million badly armed
coolies.
CHANGE IN TACTICS
Another way had 10 be
taken; the disintegration sf
the morale of foreign sailors
and soldiers by means of
persistent propaganda. The
Comintern had created a spe-
cial anti-military department
10 engage in this work in
Shanghai. under the direction
OF a capable Chinese Commu-
mist named Stu.
The men from the foreign
warships simply refused 10 let
themselves be draw into
political discussions by Orien-
tails whom they had been
taught to despise.
Comrade Stu needed man
who could meet the British
and American sail Tors and
marines on their own ground.
who could talk their language
and be looked upon as an
equal.
To Mandalian I was that
man. Until / got further
orders from Berlin. / was 10
assist Stu in the anti-military
department. / met him the
same day in the house OF the
Chinese Seamen's Union.
Comrade Stu had studied in
Europe and knew German
well. He was a stocky. mo-
bile man in his thirties,
married TO a Russian girl who
acted as his secretary.
The number of functions he
held was astounding. He was
the party commissar for the
Shanghai Seamens Union. He
directed the work of Commu-
mist spies in the well-organized
remnants Of the former kol-
chak army. whose surviving
members were stranded in
Shanghai by the thousands.

FULLY PREPARED

During the last World War,
President Wilson offered. the ma
tiOn soun dadvice when he said:
Let alone what is Being success
fully done and interfere as little
as possible with the present nor
NAL processes. That advice ap-
plies even more forcibly today, and
particularly to one great industry
which is much in the public eye
light and power. This industry is
prepared to do its full part in de-
tending this country. The North
western Electric Company recently
issued a leaflet which vividly Illus
trates the electric industry's state
of preparedness. America has long
had the greatest interconnected
power system in the world. 1t was
built entirely with private savings.
Defense Industries can be located
almost anywhere in the country
Power can be moved to any pro-
duCtion territory Immediately.
Government, despite its vast. ex-
penditures for power projects to
SohApClC WIN pIlfdbc pidulo III re-
cent years, has contributed little
to this situation. It's transmission
lines are sparse and scattered
They constitute less than 10 per
cent of the country's total mile
age. Municipal power systems are
isolated and virtually defenseless
against Interruptions and power
shortages. Their lines are confined
to urban areas and do not extend
into rural districts.
In other words, private industry
is responsible for 80 per cent of
all the, high-voltage lines in the
nation7and private industry pro-
duces 80 per cent of all our cleo
trie power. Today, America has
Az times as much power as In
1917-and you can thank private
industry for that.
When you want a job done well,
go TO an expert. The private util-
tiles are the experts at the national
power job-they have the resour-
ces. the men, the experience and
the facilities. Not a dollar of tax
money need be diverted from the
job of producing ornaments to
build government power plants
There are no bottlenecks in the
power industry.

Good Merchants Succeed

Writing in the Voluntary and Co
operative Groups magazine, Roland
Cole discusses how independents
can meet the price competition OF
chains and super-markets. In the
course Of his discussions he makes
this comm0n-seHse observation on
why retail businesses fail:
Chain stores and super-markets
can fail as we'll as independent SER
vice stores. 1t is good management
which makes a store successful,
not merely its price policy. the
casb-and-carry idea, or any other
SINGLE feature. Good management.
is practical experience plus sound
judgment, and is not dependent for
success upon equipment and meth
DDS.
Every once in while there is
a cry heard that the super-markets
are running the voluptaries. and
cooperatives out of business. A few
years ago 1t was the cash-and-carry
markets. Then it was the chains.
