Suppose they had oc- curred in America, France or Italy, or Kemal Pasha’s Turkey, a declara- tion of war would have been swiftly made against Britain, because these countries are sovereign and indepen- dent, not on paper but in reality. But just’ as subjugated India could not declare war against Britain for the Amritsar massacre, so China is un- able to declare war against Britain for the recent British massacres at Shanghai and elsewhere. Under Foreign Yoke. Foreign imperialism, led by Britain, holds our country in real subjection. Foreign imperialism acts under the unequal treaties, the first of which was imposed on China by Britain in 1842, On the basis of these treaties, the imperialist powers have developed an international system of rule under which; (a) British and other foreign na- tionals are not bound by our labor, factory, or fiscal legislation, nor by any other of our national laws and are wholly outside of the jurisdiction of all our courts of justice. (b) British and other foreigners govern areas known as settlements (like Shanghai), concessions, and leased territories, which are really strategic fortresses where foreign cap- italism controls and dominates our import and export trade and fixes and regulates (in the interests of foreign owned banks and _ international finance) the money exchange rate be- tween China and the world’s money market. These centres, serving as safe asylums, for defeated militarists and corrupt ‘officials, do in fact con- stitute a real factor of political dis- organization and administrative ineffi- ciency and corruption in China, Big Dumping Ground. (c) Owing to'foreign control of our customs administration not only is China denied the right to fix her own customs tariff, but she is un- doubtedly becoming an international dumping ground. for the products of the sweated labor of the capitalist states of the world. Nationalist China, in whose name I speak, demands liberation from the imperialist system, which is based on the unequal treaties, and therefore the abrogation of these treaties and the negotiation ‘of new ones on the principle of China’s equality with every other sovereign and indepen- dent state. As.long as foreign im- perialism holds’ my country in sub- jection, the repetition of British mas- sacres like those at Shanghai is in- evitable. And while we are a patient and peaceful people, there is a limit to our capacity for suffering massacres at the hands of the British impe- rialists, —Feng-Yu-Hsiang.

RUMANIAN TERROR rt TRIES FIVE HUNDRED BESSARABIAN PEASANTS FOR ATTEMPT TO FORM SOVIETS ss uRBAREDY Rumania, (By teil) Acbording to information of the press the trial of the 500 peasants of Kishinev was to take place on June 28. In connecttom with this it is’ rather interesting to recall an insurrection of the Bessatabian peasants, that took place in the year 1919, The Rumanian occupants who obtained in the year 1918 the appreciate title-deed ofrtvoluntary” annexation of their high horse and began to rule#—————_———— with the aid of whip and bayonet. The registration and simultaneous requisi- tion of grain-supplies was announced. After a few days a severe conflict sprang up with the representatives of the local authorities; single cases of murders, asgassination of gendarmes and military representatives of the oc- cupants took:place, Peasants Reyolt Against Tyranny. The rural gendarmes were given un- limited power. and we have to do jus- tice to them—they made good use of it. Every village, every hamlet turned into a separate kind of some vassal’s princedom, whete thé ‘sovereign was the gendarme, endowed with the right to “execute and+pardon," The logical respond to sucha system of govern- ment was the unanimpys revolt of the North of Bessgrabia, before the anni- versary of the “reunion” between the “Tsaria Mumy” (mother country) and its “daughter”Besbirabia, The revolt broke out in the county of Khotinsk and spread quickly over the Soroksk county’ that is mainly populated by Moldavians. The spon- taneous cruelty with which the peas- ants got even with the occupants can lilustrate best the tender “love” that the whole population of Bessarabia cherished towards Roumania. Almost the entire population took part in the insurrection, The avenging hand struck first the celebrated Rumanian hangman, Gen. Paeta, who was killed in the village of Ataka by the 17 year old son of a worker. In the village of Oknitsa a 50 years old peas- ant personally fired from machine- gun at the offensive Rumanian cav- alry. During two weeks the, févolted dis- trict enjoyed full liberty. The occu- pants became perplexed, not being in a position to master the, high, tide of the mass rebellion. The-insurrection grew with irresistible rapidity. The Rumanian soldiers were captured by. scores and as it seemed, it ‘wd’ only necessary to gét in touch-with the |" center of Bessarbia and suvcéss: was secured, Needed Workers’ Aid, But the rebels could not ‘a¥oid the general fate of all the spontaneous peasants’ movements}that are-noet-sup- ported by the will- er of the indus- trial proletariat. Soon reinforce- ments arrived from the cea Rumania and with the aid of't! y “order” was “reestablished” he cable announcing that the \insufree- tion had been put down ruts as fol- lows: “After..prolonged .,esistence the Bessarabian rebels were ied from Khotin by the gathered ul force. The rioters retreated be: Dniester.” According to to data given by the Bessarabia to Rumania, felt rather on former villages that have been leveled to the ground by artillery fire, Second Uprising for Soviet, The insurrection of the northern Bessarabian peasants in the year 1919 is quite a different one from the insur- rection of the peasants in the South. The first one was a spontaneous unor- ganized movement of peasants who marched out against the occupants without any definite platform. The second was an insurrection of peas- ants who warched with arms in their hands against the Rumanian oli- garchy; they carried with them a ban- ner on which was written the slogan of the battle: “Long Live Soviet Bessarabia.” SOLDIER JAILED AFTER PROTEST ON CROUCH CASE Paper Gives Letter to Army Authorities By WALTER M. TRUMBULL FORT SHAFTHR, Guard House. Honolulu, Hawaii—(By Mail)—It has come to light that a soldier in the 8rd Engineers, Schofield Bks., Hawaii, had a letter of protest concerning, the Crouch-Trumbull case returned to him. The soldier, having learned of our imprisonment, wrote to the Honolulu Advertiser informing them of the jail- ing of the two Reds and protesting against the illegal proceedings. Advertiser Suppressed News His letter, written’ in March, was not published but..was turned over to army authorities.by the Advertiser. It is significant that this paper knew of our case about a month before our trials and yet witheld the news. About the 15th of May, the letter was returned to the writer by a mem- ber of the staff of the office of the assistant chief of staff, G-2 Hawaiian Division. Confined To Guardhouse The manner in which the letter was returned conclusively showed that the authorities wanted the soldier to know how completely they control the press here. The same soldier is in confinement at present, charged with the most tri- vial offense. He has endured consider- able persecution without murmer and the guardhouse is the climax, Your Union Meeting refugee department of Kamenetz- Pedolsk there are 50,000 peasants liv- ing in the one county of Kamenetz who “retreated beyond the Dniester.” How “order” was reestablished can be seen from the ruins on the toad between Khotin and Novaselquts of PATTERNS A COMFORTABLE APRON STYLE 5039.

They talked loud as long as the money lasted. After the state convention last fall we had some meetings in a park here in Sacramento. The yellow bosses told us “We should not mention so- cialism.” I have seen so much dirty work in the socialist party in the last few years, I must say, “how can they ex- pect an honest radical to join such company?” Why is it that they use only poor old Debs?

I absolutely refused and I told the members “tell them to go to hell.” All this happened between 1918-22, They have since tried to col- lect the $367,000 with small success.
