Hands Off China Dentand of Meet in Minneapolis MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 20.— “There must be no interference with the struggle of the Chinese workers | and peasants tow: self-government | and freedom. HANDS OF CHINA.” | This was the keynote of a mass| meeting held here last Sunday under | the auspices of the conference against intervention in Mexico, Nicaragua and China. | Wo Yong Park, who delivered aj stirring talk on the determination of | the Chinese workers to throw off the | yoke of foreign imperialism, amitiied | a note of warning to the foreign! powers, called for the recal}] of all} foreign nationals from Chinese soil | and the withdrawal ofall military and naval forces from Chinese Works | ers, Wm. Watkins of the St. Paul | Switchman’s union stated that or-| ganized labor was solidly behind the! fight of the Chinese workers to! achieve a decent standard of living. | Norman H, Tallentire, Workers Party | Organizer, analyzed. the economic- | political development of China, giving | the background of the present con-| flict. Ole Hellie of the Mid-West | Student also spoke, and 8. A, Stock- | well, of the Farmer-Labor Party, | presided. | A resolution calling for the with- drawal of troops and warships from China, the recognition of the Na- tionalist Government, the abolition of unequal treaties, customs control and} extraterritoriality were unanimously | adopted at the meeting. Copies of | the resolution were sent to President | Coolidge, the State Department, all} of the representatives and Senators} from Minnesota, and to the Kuomin- | tang.

Then it was ignored; but since they have to con- | tend with a, labor ticket, the local | politicians have “promised” to con- sider the matter. Of course, that is the usual election time buncombe, For City Construction, The program has a part devoted to | the immediate undertaking of con- struction work on a large scale by the city to provide jobs for unemployed workers, These workers to” receive pay at the union rate of wages. In addition to the above quoted planks, which are only a few in the program, the Workers’ (Communist) | Party has issued an expose of the role of the present officials who are now seeking reelection as strike- breakers and enemies of the workers. Many Business Administrations, “We have had too much of business men’s administration in Passaic,” it says, “yet most of the rival candidates | are also business men. Cabell is a manufacturer whose workers are un-| organized, Vanacek is a lawyer and | Rubacky is a lawyer. What we need in Passaic as we do all thru the coun- | try is the unity of all labor forees | into one powerful party of all the | producers, a labor party, not a bosses’ | government or a business man’s gov-| ernment, but a workers’ government.” Educating Workers. Just as the strike was a meags of educating the 16,000 textile workers | to understand more fully the clagg government in America, so will the election campaign be a further educa- tor, not only for the textile workers but for all the members of the work- ingclass of ‘that city. Already we see attempts to sup- press the labor group. Weisbord’s speech last Monday was stopped by! the gangsters of Commissioner of Public Safety, Abram Preskiell. The campaign may meet further ob- stacles, but they will all help to give a clearer understanding to the workers of the role of the American government—local, state and national, as a weapon to keep the workers in industrial and political bondage. ‘Defend Your Remarkable Gains msi Soviet Union Told In Theses MOSCOW, (By Mail).—Remarkable developments in the industry and ag- riculture of the U. S, S.

More Money for Social Needs. Expenditure for administration and defense remains almost without al- teration, while there will be consider- ably increased expenditure on social and cultural needs. Kalinin’s theses to the fourth Sov- iet Congress, just published, point out that the growth of the area under cultivation in the Soviet Union has in- creased to 96.1 of the 1913 standard. In 1925 the area was 92.8 per cent of the pre-war figure. The area under cultivation in 1926 was 112 million hectares (about 440,000 square miles). In 1981, 132 million hectares will be under eultivation, it is estimated. This will be 11 per cent over the 1913 level.
