Here they are, at present, at Pukow, unable to decide whether to keep on running or to stop and give battle to the troops of General Sun Chuan- fang, commanding about 200,000 men of five middle southern provinces who swept up out of Chekiang and took Shanghai last Friday, allowed the la- bor unions to reopen, released labor prisoners who led the nationalist movement, and declared war upon Peking, its tariff conference and all its works, including Chang Tso-lin, its lone supporter. Chekiang provost guards are im- pressing recruits to add to their forc- es at Shanghai, Chang’s Fengtien troops at Pukow are announcing that they may give battle against further retreat when they get “reinforce- ments” of the troops driven from Shanghai. Ordinarily, troops driven into retreat make poor reinforce- ments. Getting Licked Not “Weakness.” Chang Tso-lin himself announces that his great desire for peace has led him to order his troops to withdraw clear out of Kiangsu province and ‘as far north as Hsuchowfu, while vigor- ously protesting that this is “not a sign of weakness,” but an effort to de- fend Peking. Chang makes a point of defending Peking now, proposing to General Feng Yu-hsiang, his most likely and powerful enemy, that Feng, too, come out for the defense of Peking, thus trying to place Feng in the bad light of being a rude militarist who wants to disturb Chang’s beautiful plans for peace. Feng has 200,000 men at Kal- gan, and yet is keeping his intentions to himself, but his allegiance to the nationalist cause is already known.

This was bad enuf, according to Wall Street. Some of the bolder elements, however, went so far as to commit the unpardonable sin. They denounced American imper- ialism. Immediately, the American diplomatic bulldozing machine got busy, and every single foreign work- er “known to have spoken agains‘ the United States” in’ a, Panamé and Central America;’ was ,arrested and deported.

That is, for de fending the liberties of those coun- tries! Nothing of the kind! Any such assumption ignores the fact that the Central American and Caribbean countries are part of the American empire. To speak against the United States government in Cuba or Panama is “treason,” just is it is “treason” tc speak against his majesty King George V. in India. That is the un pardonuble sin, for which follows swift and sure reprisal. The wholesale depértations from nearby Latin-American countries for the crime of denouncing American im- perialism, proves coriélusively that these countries are mere satrapiés of Wall Street. Such complete domina- tion as this reveals is made even more brutally manifest by the mili- tary occupation of the City of Pan- ama.

Delegates from unions representing over 100,000 organized workers of this city, were present, . Great interest was manifested in the coming of Purcell to this city for dustries must prepare itself “to meet within the next 20 years the most severe competition it has ever experienced.” . * ° . it was perhaps rather significant that at the same time White was @plivering his warning, three representatives of the Union of Soviet Republics were wandering about the stockyards, in this same Chicago, picking)up a few thousand rams here, a few thousand sheep there'and somewhere else a few thousand hogs. All in all, the Russians spent about a quarter of a million dollars in making their purchases. The Russian workers and peasants do not intend to eat. those sheep and hogs. They paid high prices for them and they are going to use them to breed better sheep and hogs within the Soviet Union. Russian agriculture and animal husbandry are still in their primitive stages to a very great extent, but they are rapidly forging to the front. . ° * . Michael S. Pereferkovitch, manager of the live stock de- partment of the Soviet government, who heads the mission here, says Soviet rule is doing everything possible to aid its farmers. - That should be interesting reading for American farm- ers who have learned, thru many bitter experiences, that the American capitalist government at Washington, does every-- thing it can to help those who fatten off the farmers, the the purpose of addressing the work- ers of the local unions, It will be re- membered that A, A, Purcell was the fraternal delegate of the British Trade Union Congress ta the recent conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor, Head of Amsterdam International. Purcell is the president of the In- ternational Federation of Trade Un- ions representing over 20 million workers, and is a labor member of the British parliament. He is touring this country to speak on the’ subject of world trade union unity. He represents over 4,500,000" organized British workers. The conference elected M.

However, arrangements were left in the hands of various committees bankers, the absentee landlords and the food gamblers. No such triumvirate sits longer upon the backs of the Russian peasantry. *. White tells the American packers that “scientific study, intensive research, more elaborate inventions and continued substitution of machines for man-power must be used to the limit to fight this competition,” that threatens American in- dustry. Which means they must be/used to produce cheaper goods that can be sold at greater profits than the products of other countries. The Russians will certainly join with the American multi-millionaire packer in declaring that scientific study, intensive research, more elaborate inventions and continued substition of machines for man-power are all good. for the Russians they are only good to lift the burden of toil from labor’s shoulders, so that the farmers under emancipat- ing Soviet rule may stand erect and free for the first time in all Russian history, and to improve all Russian agriculture, » * cities where local trade unions are ar- ranging speaking dates for the dis- tinguished visitor, Great mass meet- ings for unionists are already assured the treat of hearing Purcell speak at Kansas Olty, St. Louis, Chicago, De- troit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Phila- delphia, Toronto and Montreal, be- sides here in New York City, Storm Signals Warn Shipping as Heavy Winds Bring Snow CLEVELAND, ©, Oct. 20—With vessels scurrying to safety, storm sig- But White did not say that he was thinking of the Union of Soviet Republics when he spoke of the approaching era of greater competition.

This will prove even more true of the New Russia, where the abolition of profits has unchained the struggling efforts of the many to build for a better life. In such a competitive struggle It can easily be seen on which side the victor’s crown will rest. Free peoples have always conquered enslaved peoples.
