Smashing the Imperialist Front in China! The black movement, } picture of a defeated and disorganized nationalist ctured by Freder Moore, New York Times corre- spondent, and other mental scavengers of imperialism is shattered by the iightning flashes of vietory as the militarist front in China collapses beforé fhe Hankow advance. The temporary arrest of the victorious advance caused by the treachery of the renegade, Chiang Kai-shek, who tried to turn a part of the nationalist forces over to the imperialist invaders, has been overcome. The collapse of that venture the reason for the hasty dispatch of British, Japanese and forces to Tsing-tao and Tientsin and points up th gtze in preparation for repetitions of the bom- bardment of Nz In nationa arch from vietory to victory and again raise high the hopes of the revolutionists and anti-imperialists of the world. The converging of the two nationalist armies—the main force from Hankow and thé Shensi batallions of General Feng Yu-siang—at Changchow, the intersection of the two main rail. road lines, gave the national liberation movement control of all Northern China and assured the collapse of the armies of the bribed bandit generals in the service of American, British and Japanese capital. This magnificent victory will drive the imperialists mad with fury and they will hesitate at no atrocious crimes, they will resort to any unscrupulous provocation, in order to stem the rising tide of revolution. Now, more than ever, the working class of the great powers must insistently demand that all invading forces be withdrawn from China so that the workers and peasants may be left unham- pered to organize their own government and exterminate the ban- dit gangs who for years have been used by imperialism to thwart the desires of the masses of Chinese. Herrick Assails Bolshevism Because It Is Enemy of War Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, now shining in the reflected light of young Lindbergh, whom he sup- plied with a pair of pajamas and a room at the American embassy after the famous ocean flight, upheld the tradition of his kind in a Memorial Day speech in France. American ambassadors are famous for their total ignorance of political affairs. They merely parade at foreign courts as puppets, without brains, without com- prehension of the deeper currents-that control polities, while the yeal work is done by a small staff of trained, if obscure, office | * workers and alleged experts. The public utterances of ambas- sadors are supposed to contain some political content; to deal with | States which is $22,625,262,843, plus jury their differences beneath their and Vanzetti an act of vengeance political and economic relations between the home countries and the countries to which they are sent. With the customary quack- ery. that distinguishes utterances of American ambassadors, this ex-president of the American Bankers’ Association, only briefly and in the most superficial manner, referred to relations between | France and the United States. Not one word was uttered about the real problems confronting the world; nothing about China, or the mandates policy of the league of nations, or the war debts, or any of the other unsolved questions that daily rise to plague the imperialists. As a substitute for a political Mscourse such as is expected from ambassadors of any other land, this ornament of the Ohio gang, that launched the period of administrative “revelry” with the inauguration of the late Dr. Harding as president of the United States, stole the anti-Bolshevist thunder of the fiendish black- guard braggart, Mussolini. Mentally poverty-stricken, this am- bassador of Wall Street pillaged the very language of Mussolini as reported from his latest harangue before the Italian chamber of deputies. Here are the utterances of these two luminaries, side by side: MUSSOLINI HERRICK (Rome, May 26th) 4 We have taken measures in the (Paris; May 80th) Modern methods of scientific re- struggle against malignant tumors, . c 10,000 ships from the East have search are being applied to the scourge . . . of cancer.

While the irfeconcilable conflicts on the political and economic field bring nearer the time when the repacious nations of the _ wotld will fly at each other's’ throats in a new world war, there is ‘one policy on which they are agreed; that is the necessity for a vicious fight against Bolshevism, for the imperialists all know that Bolshevism is the only force today capable of thwart- ing the conspiracies of the imperialists and that to the extent that the workers of the great powers and the oppressed nations come under its influence they will refuse to be cannon fodder in the imperialist conflict that is drawing ever nearer. Bolshevism is the only force on earth working for peace. It} does not play the filthy and contemptible game of the social- democracy and indulge in pacifist illusions that only play into thé hands of the war-mongers, but openly proclaims to the work- ers the revolutionary slogan of Lenin: “Turn the imperialist _ wars between nations into civil wars against capitalism,” Only through the revoltttionary struggle can the workers hope to wipe from the earth the real causes of modern wars. ~ This is known to all the spokesmen of imperialism, hence their savage drive against Bolshevism throughout the world. The conspirators hope to weaken and if possible destroy the organiza- tions of the working class so they can again lead millions of wotkers to the slaughter. Anti-Bolshevist propaganda is war propaganda and the anvil chorus of imperialism assails the revo- lutionary movement of the international proletariat because’ it| is preparing the way for new-wars.

The action revolves around Reginald poet, an arrant knave, who knows he is a fraud, and Archibald Grosvenor (Joseph Macaulay), the idyllic poet, who is a Narcissan, and so unfor- tunate as not to know it. These are prototypes. Thefr. children are still with us, damn the luck, Both are flouted, mocked, dissected flayed, and stabbed in the back, to the tune of some very pretty lyrics, sung by remarkably pretty girls. But the women, who trail after these poets are not spared either. No wonder this play has been unpopular.
