When a protest meeting took place in Berlin, another revolutionist was killed and several others serious- ly wounded. The situation in Halle became so | serious, since the workers were aroused and were preparing for ac- tion, that the government, to save its face, had to dismiss the chief of police, who had engineered the blood-bath. Urge Bigger Bulgarian Army. The Bulgarian Zankow hangman government has requested the league of nations for permission to add 4,000 more soldiers to the army that keeps the fascist government in power. In Macedonia, the murder of prominent leaders of the peasants takes place every day. In Greece, the strikers, led by revolutionary Communists, had to face the police and government troops. White terror is destroying the best fighters of the Spanish workers. In spite of the power of Mussolini, the wotkers of Turin and Milan are out | on strike—and are challenging the government. Ta China a strike of the railway- men is answered by British imperial- iem. In Sweden and Denmark big strikes are taking place, in which the police are very active. In Ruma- mia the workers are hounded from Place to place. The revolutionary workers and peasants have to face | | | | | | Relief workers satisfying the needs of the storm stricken.

You do not need to be informed why. The Nueva Ecija movement that General Wood seeks to drown in blood is aimed at the very roots of the system of privilege on which General Wood’s masters in Wall Street, New York, live and grow fat. Despite the lies which are spread to glorify American imperialism, al- most feudal conditions reign in the rice fields. Thousands of acres ‘of rice lands are owned by stngte indi- viduals and corporations enjoying fan- tastic profits, while the Fillpmo peas- ants who plant, grow and pick the rice are obliged to live under the most abominable conditions, in practical subjection to the owners of the es- tates.

The native landowners are mere servants of the big rice merchants, export firm’ and bankers. They are, of course, bitter enemies of the exploit- ed peasants, But American tmpertal- ism cannot shirk responsibility for the conditions that prevail m the rice fields. \ You can well be proud of the herole struggle which your ‘brothers in Nueva Ecija have been carry- % on against overwhelming odds. hat this struggle has borne fruit can be seen in the revision of tenantry contracts to which the land- lords were forced to agree. That it has alarmed the privileged class thruout the Philippine Islands 1s evi- dent from the extreme measures which were called up against 1t, of a scope and brutality unprecedented since the early years of the Ameri- can occupation, We know that the Nueva Ecija mas- sacre was not the result of “exce) of religious mysticism,” as some American newspapers pretend, but was visited upon the organtzed peas: ants to prevent them from gaining possession of theitiee lands.

This shows that nobody but Charles Schwab, and his friends rule this city. We have a mayor and other officials, who are elected by the people; but all these officials are bought by the gold coins, that Charles Schwab shows them. That is why Charles Schwab has the power in this city, over all the people and officials.
