Page Four STANDARD OIL PRESIDENT IN CHINA OUSTED Tsao Kun Rose to Power with American Gold (Special to the Dally Worker) PEKING, China, Oct. 27.— The government of Tsao Kun, president of China, whose in- stallation in that office has been claimed by the revolutionary Sun Yat Sen to have been pur- chased by Standard Oil thru bribery by Jacob Gould Schur- man of the Chinese parliament, Is overthrown by a “Christian” hireling, General Feng Yu-hsi- ang, acting in the interests of Japanese imperialism. Tsao Kun, the . figurehead, was really subordinate to his army commander, Wu Pei Fu, whose utter defeat in armed contest with the Manchurian forces under Chang Tso-lin, openly known to be subsidized by Japan, is being confirmed by reports from the field of opera- tions along the great Chinese wall. “Christian” Duplicity Wins By clever maneuvering, General Feng, with true Christian duplicity, seized Peking after turning traitor to ‘Wu. Pei Fu, with whose army and in whose cause he and his hosts had previously fought since war opened. It is common knowledge that this trick was planned from the begin- ning, Feng, the Christian, being bribed by Japan to await a favorable moment in the conflict to strike Wu Pei Fu, the representative of American and British imperialism, in the back. By forced marches, Feng’s army surrounded Peking, and on Saturday, training artillery on the presidential palace, forced Tsao Kun to first de- clare war “at an end,” stripping Wu Pei Fu, who is still fighting Chang Tso-lin's forces to the north, of of- fice and ordering him exiled to Tur- kestan. Then Tsao Kun was com- pelled to resign the presidency. Shanghai Bankers Upset. From Shanghai come reports. that the British-American interests are dismayed by the turn of events at Peking. The victory last week of the Kiangsu (Peking government) army Over the Chekiang army of Lu Yung hsiang, known to have been supported by Japan, has been upset by Feng’s treachery, and Feng has added to the fears of the Shanghai bankers by wiring to Lu Yung-hsiang, who fied to Japan when Shanghai fell, order- ing him to return to that city. This evidently means that Feng will send an armed force to dispossess the satrap installed by British-American capital thru Tsao Kun. The diplomatic body of foréign freebooters in both Peking and Shanghai are in a quandry, only the Japanese apparently being heerful, as reports from the north arrive teli- ing of Chang Tso-lin’s victorious ad- vance and as Feng consolidates his capture of Peking.

I PLACE FOR DAWES TO DODGE THESE DAYS By HARVEY O'CONNOR. (Federated Press Staff Correspondent.) CLEVELAND, Oct. 27.—Charlie Dawes is not slated to visit Cleveland. It’s too hot for bank looters! Two more wreckers have been found guilty by a jury of scuttling the $18,000,000 Representative Realty and Municipal Loan enterprises. They are Sol Peskind and Ben Karp. M. A. Vinson, secretary of the company, was found guilty several-weeks ago. Two others were stamped with guilt in a previous trial. The realty firm coined fortunes for its promoters by taking money from wage earners who contemplated building homes. wage earners had sunk their savings with the cmopany waiting the day when they had enough deposited to start building or to pay off a mort- gage of a home already contpleted. After the crash, local public officials refused to take action until a progres- sive newspaper went over their heads and appealed to the governor of Ohio to appoint special prosecutors. The appeal was granted and it was found that $1,500,000 in county funds had been illegally deposited with ‘the wrecked Representative Realty Co. This furnished the clue for the. coun- ty authorities’ unwillingness to press action. i Five officials of the company have now been found guilty with two more to be tried. If the cheated depositors of the Lorimer bank in Chicago had been able to get similar action, the republican party might have had to find another vice-presidential nominee in 1924, Some Pointers on Spreading the Good News Effectively By GEORGE McLAUGHLIN KANSAS CITY, Kansas, Oct. 27.— Those rebels who go to work by street car have a splendid chance to dis- tribute literature.

This beats the factory gate—you can pick your pro- spect, he is fresh and untired, he has a few minutes with nothing. better to do than read. Always carry 20 pro- grams to the car with you!

If you've not enough nerve to pass out your old paper, at least take it out and throw it on some one's door step. It's your paper—Build on it! Solution capitalists, liberals, social uplifters and philanthropists. Negro and white club women and other idlers will also sail, and no doubt much social equal- ity will be indulged in on the voyage. Social equality is the one condition that must not exist between Negro and white workers, ‘according to cap- italist spokesmen and newspaper hirelings. The only Negro or white workers aboard the steamer will be those who stoke and otherwise man the ship. The voyage will last 30 days.

Delay Trial of Burns, SAN FRANCISCO. — The criminal syndicalism trial of William Burns, I. W. W. organizer, is put over to Nov. 5.

Don't waste a single plece. The effort to mobilize the entire party membership was a success. We did not have a 100 per cent mobilization, that’s true. But first call to arms everybody feels mighty datisfied. It Constitutes a big stride towards the bigger tasks to come. Anyway, RED WEEK IS HERE! Millions of pléeces of Communist literature will be distributed.

And then on my return to Moscow, the London Daily Herald informs me} by an official “statement frém Jor-| dania, erstwhile socialist president of | the old anti-Soviet state in Georgia, that while I was peacefully sipping | tea on the sidewalk cafes of lazy Ba-| tum, “the Bolshevik troops .disem-| barked at Batum, and made terrible reprisals on the population, massacr- ing the old men, women atid children.| Houses were being burned, whole vil- lages destroyed.” Then the Manchester Guardian in an editorial openly discredits, simply by deductive reasoning, the official— and as far as I can see—absolutely correct statement of the Russian dele- gation in London that a small rising had been immediately put down. See Threat of Intervention. And then comes a wire’from Geneva —saying the league of nations is con- sdering investigating the “war be- tween the state of Georgia and Rus- sia.” One can smell the threat of in- tervention there as keenly as the league of nations smells oil in Georgia. American papers elaborated on the supposed revolt with all their power- ful imaginations, reififorced by dis- tance. What happened? There was @ spo- radic uprising which was quickly quelled, and which had been. insti- gated by a queer combination—the bandits which even the czarist sol- diers could never deal with, the dis- possessed “princes” of Georgia, fight- ing for their nationalized land, and— the pacifist, internationalist Georgian social-democrats. When we were first told that these were’ involved, we didn’t believe it, until the confession of their envoy himself, who had been sent to foment the trouble. No Trouble in Georgia. My extensive trip in Georgia cov- ered the distance from Vladikavkas to Tiflis—the heart of the Georgian mountains—afoot, during the height of the uprising. I lived in Tiflis dur- ing the days of armed suppression of the uprising. I went by rail to Batum and lived in Batum during the days the reprisals were supposed to have taken place. I travelled by sea along the entire western coast of the Cau- casus, touching at all the important towns there, during the time that the pillaging, plundering and massacring there, The steamer stopped for six or seven hours'in the larger ports, in any of those places, and joined the populations of the towns in their light-hearted, care-free sea bathing. and read of the “war,” reprisals, mas- sacres, etc., I was not the onlys one who had been in.
