The Rising Tide of the Chinese Revolution. To prepare the ground for a foul agreement the traitor Chiang Kai-shek slaughtered thousands of the best revolu- tionary fighters in China. The foul agreement was con- cluded with the United States as the highest bidder and. | Kemmerer and a staff of 100 state department advisors went to China to take over the exploitation of the Chinese mass under the protection*of American battleships at the seaport and of the Nanking clique inland. The American imperial- ists shouted with glee and began pouring millions of dollars into public utilities, air routes, and the extension of ‘we existing investments in oil railroads, etc. They even spoke about a hundred million dollar loan to the government itself. The glee is, however, now turning to consternation. It becomes increasingly clear that the Nationalist government is perched on a very insecure seat. Feng Yu-hsiang has split. With him have gone thousands of troops previously under Chiang Kai-shek. Even the 40,000 troops se#t to Shantung to occupy that area against Feng have gone over to Feng. The basis of these new splits lies in the mass op- position to the traitors who have sold China to American capital. Growing famine and the worsening of the condi- tions of the workers in the cities have contributed to the rising revolutionary spirit. Feng, his ear ever to the ground, * hopes to capitalize this situation against Chiang. The many generals who have deserted Chiang and gone over to Feng are a sure indication, as Chinese experiences have proven, that the Nationalist government already has at least one foot in the grave. The imperialists, fearing that Feng might not be so easy to handle as was Chiang, are already preparing for in- tervention inland by asserting that Soviet Russia is en- gineering Feng’s maneuvers. That the masses are turning to the Communist Party is certain. That they hope for support from Soviet Russi whom they recognize as the traditional friend of the ma is also certain. But it is only a pretense for new massacr by foreign troops to say that Soviet Russia is directing Feng’s maneuvers. The workers of the U. S. S. R? do not trust generals who are ambitious for themselves and who attempt to use mass struggles only to further those ambitions. The Com- munist Party alone can lead the Chinese masses to their freedom from foreign imperialism and Chinese feudal and capitalist oppression. The workers of the U. S. S. R. will help the Chinese masses through helping to build the Com- munist Party of China. f es: Tweedledum or Tweedledee. “Debentures” to help the rich farmers who export their, products, or the fake “Federal Farm Board” which evades the whole question, or both. This is the issue which has set the senate agog. The frantic mobilization of some republicans and democrats on one side‘and the regular Hoover republicans on the other is assuming, dramatic proportions. Senators are being sworn in on sick beds dnd operating tables so that they might vote. “Pairing” of votes,are being arranged. Every- body is frantically hunting for one senator who is both doubt- ful and absent. More speeches are being made, and fewer listened to. Lists are in preparation as to how tle vote will be. Aside from this tragi-comedy there is a real “farm prob- lem.” Since the war the faim crisis ‘has for a multitude of reasons. been continually intensified. The poor farmer is of course the worst sufferer. His farm is being foreclosed; his children disgusted with farm drudgery are leaving for the cities. Neither of the proposals are even aimed to help him. The complicated sections of the bill will only affect him inso- far as they will be used as election propaganda by the so- called “progressives.” a The solution for the poor farmer does not lie in measures which may be adopted in Congress.* There, he has only the choice betweens the “tweedledum” of Hoover or the “tweedledee” of Norris. He will never find even a partial al- leviation of his difficulties until he organizes with the city workers in a singlespolitical party.

Marty on French Naval Mutiny By ANDRE MARTY (Paris). Contrary to the widely-held view, the “Black Sea Revolt” was not merely an act of muti of the crew of the French war-ships, whicp had been sent to the Black Sea in 1919. It was far more extensive in character, for it included the mutiny of the French troops of occupation in South Ukraine and in the Crimea (February, to May 1919), the revolts ef the crew of the French war-ships in the Black Sea (Aprii to July 1919), the revolt of the French sailors on the ships outside the Black Sea and the ports (June to August 1919). As the revolts in the Black Sea however were the most import- ant ones, they gave the name to the whole movement which was roused by Frehch intervéntion in Russia, THE CAUSES. The causes of the revolts are not only to be looked for in the condi- tions of living of the troops and the | \crews of, the ships. As a matter of fact, the soldiers and sailors in the Black Sea and in Russia were very | badly fed, very badly housed and | insufficiently clothed in a cold clim- late, they rarely got furlough and jrarely’ received letters; thty were therefore longing for demobiliza- tion. Nevertheless their position was more favorable than was that of |their comrades in the trenches of |the Vardar or in the submarines. The miserable material conditions in which they found themselves, were only favorable preliminary con- | ditions for revolutionary action and, above all, they were of decisive sig: nificance in respect of the spirit of their demands. | The two essential causes of the revolts were the resumption of war and the moral influence of the Oc- tober revolution. Even in the eyes of the most naive soldiers, the armistice with Bulgaria, with Turkey and soon after that with the Central Powers had! one quite simplé and clear meaning: the termination of war, But behold! hardly had the transport of the 156th | division left Salonica and been dis- jembarked in Odessa on December (18th, 1918, than the French troops were already engaged in lively com- bats of the volunteers against Petl- .|jura’s troops. The roar of guns and the salvos were heard quite dis- tinctly from the warships which were riding at anchor in the roads and cleared for action. New War Causes Discontent. War has then begun once more! The constant skirmishes which #ol- lowed the landing of the troops sim- |ply made on them the impression | that, although war had come to an jend in France, it was here once more resumed.

They mutined.when the government refused to stop using them to attack the Russian workers battling with the white guards. If the naval officials had not been afraid of the wrath of the French prole- tariat, they would have undoubtedly shot Marty and his comrades. Continuous demonstration by the workers for Marty secured his re- lease. He was then imprisoned again for his share in exposing an im- perialist plot.

The General Staff made every. effort to maintain the “morale” among the troops.

The Communist Party of the U. S. A., which leads the work- ing class of all races, is the only in- dependent political organization, that takes up the fight of defending the oppressed Negro workers. It was the Communist Party, along | with the Young Workers Communist League and the American Negro the atte: f Labor Congress that brought it to] ntion of the Negro masses, and class oppression. - French soldiers tore off their medals | and threw them to the ground in a} fury when they witnessed Russian| workers being taken to prison.

Some of them chiefly those in charge of training soldiers; sympathize with the Rus- indignation against the’ government which they hold responsible for the disintegration in the army.

May we ask what became of the Negro press, the Universal Negro Improvement As- sociation, and The National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People, and other organizations that shout about race rights the loudest. Race to these people is only a mat- ter of a smoke-screen. It is time enough for the Negro workers to wake up and realize that our libera- tion is in our own hahds, through or- ganizations such as the Communist Party and the new left wing trade unions. Communists Lead. In this period of imperialist war, Negro workers will be called upon to shoulder arms to defend Ameri- can capital stay We must not be fooled, we have nothing to defend but our lives. Why should we go abroad to protect our country when our lives are not safe at home fro the, lynchocrats? t This is the question that every courageous young Negro should ask himself, as to whether we should die in the United States Army or Navy, as we have been doing like rats, or whether we should join the ranks of Communism in fighting for anew order of society in which the Negro will emancipate himself from wage slavery and persecution. It was the Bolshevik revolution of Russia that brought freedom to all oppressed peoples, and only a Communist revo- lution in the United States with black and white workers taking the leadership will be successful in de- stroying capitalist society and which will abolish lynching, Jim Crowism, | the troops are composed of French, | Greeks, Poles, Serbs and volunteers. |In Sebastopol there is an English division.

The revolt developed in three es- | | sential phases: 1—Refusal to march. A number of battalions refused to advance against the Red Army, the Red Guards and the Red partisans. A few examples: On January 30th one battalion of the 58th Infantry regiment and two battalions of the Alpine regiment left Bender in Bes- sarabia in order to take possession of Tiraspol which was occupied by the Red Guards. They marched off under vehement protests on the part of the infantry who reproached the artillery with obeying orders. Refuse to Fight “Reds.” At the first rattling of the ma- chine gun salvos, the 58th regiment |. refused to fight and withdrew, car- rying the artillery with it. When, after Tiraspol had been taken by other troops, they were again or- dered to march into that town, they only did so.under the condition that there would be no fighting and that the whole General Staff should be in the first carriage. The machine guns were placed at the doors of the other carriages in order to prevent any treachery on the part of the officers. Later, the regiment was disarmed and sent to Moroeco, Events of this kind oc- curred repeatedly in various places. The French troops, which some- times succeeded in carrying with them Greek troops and others, re- fused to advance against the “Reds” and, as for instance on the occasion | of the attack on Odessa on April) 8rd, to mount the guns, But the time had already come when the soldiers were no longer satisfied with refusing to obey or- ders. A corps of the 7th regiment of engineers received their officers with gun fire. It could only be per- suaded with great difficulty to fol- low the army which was retreating on Akkerman. On April 5th, Odessa was evacuated. Whole units of troops, surrounded by Greek troops, left the town, singing the “Inter- national.” The troops arrived in Ak- kerman in complete dissolution. Of- ficers of high rank and generals left the town in great haste on ships or motor-cars. 2.—The Black Sea Revolt. The sailors were witnesses of the com- plete disorder prevailing on the oc- casion of the evacuation of Odessa on April 5th. Even on board the warships discipline ceased to exist. Complete disintegration had taken place, On almost all the ships, the non-commissioned machine-gun of- ficers made common cause with the crew, many non-commissioned war- rant officers remained neutral. Open Revolt. No longer did they stop at the refusal to march, open revolt took place, the General Staff was asked to direct the fleet back to France and this demand was supported by threats. This was the second stage. On April 16th, at midnight, I was arrested in Galatz (Rumania) together with three other sailors, amongst them Badina, as I was just returning to the torpedoboat “Pro- test” of which I was the chief mech- anician. I was coming back from a secret meeting. § We had come from Odessa a few days ago and had formed the plan of capturing the first ship standing in the offing and taking it back to Odessa. We wanted to find out there in what way it would be pos- sible to persuade a whole section of the Black Sea fleet to return to France. The conspiracy had just been betrayed “in time” by three po- segregation and all forms of ra lice agents. ee ey wer (To Be Continued) ’ By FEODOR GLADKOY, Translated by A. S. Arthur and C. Ashleigh All Rights Reserved—International Publishers, N. Y. Gleb Chumaloy, Red Army commander and former mechanic in the great cement factory, returns to his native village after three years’ fighting in the civil wars. His . Dasha, who has become | a Communist Party worker, greets him with an independent reserve { that bewilders and pains him. He finds his friends, Savchuk and 4; his wife, Motia, tearing each other to pieces in utter hopelessness, The cement factory is a dreary half-ruin, the doors’ locks torn }' off and the equipment shot to pieces, all but the engine-room, where | the Diesels stand, polished and impatient to start revolving. His | old friend, the éngineer, Brynza, has lovingly taken care of the en« ; gines. Together they swear to put the factory into operation again. { Fel oe 4.—MATES. | N the basement of the factory office-building, in a narrow dimly« lighted corridor, smelling of damp cement, numbers of workmen crowd ed and jostled. Here were the odors of the steam bath and of strong tobacco. Amidst these fumes of dirt were men, soiled also with the grey dust of the quarries and the factory buildings. They were dull and troubled, gloomy like the evening shadows. There was a clamor as of a market-place, pierced occasionally by bellowing laughter, making the very walls tremble.. They swore and wrangled about rations, about food-supplies for the communal restaurants, about paraffin, clothing< cards, pipe-lighters and goats; and about the poor working-people upon whose shoulders sat every kind of rascal. The door of the office of the Factory Committee was open, and there also was the same rancid smell and smoke, and the sweaty smell of the crowd gathered there. No one recognized Gleb as he elbowed his way through the crowd. They looked at him sullenly; coldly; with ill-concealed hatred they glanced at his red-starred helmet and the Order of the Red Flag upon his breast. But they did not turn to look after him as he passed them Aren’t there enough commissars floating about here, and all kinds of people, with or without portfolios, strolling about the office? Before the dgor was a youth, arrayed in a woman’s white bonnet, with a corset laced over his coat, wearing an artificial moustache on his shaven lips. He was dancing. The dense crowd jostled him closely, but he warded the moff with his elbows and screamed in shrill feminine tones, with mincing affectation. “Let me introduce myself.... Ah, excuse me! .. . Now, citizens, I’m a respectable proletarian girl! Ah, don’t touch me—don’t tickle me!” And then broke into song: “Oh, little apple, where are you rolling? Into the office he goes strolling.” . The admiring laughter and oaths of the crowd drowned his song. “Hey, you low-down swine! Mitka—you devil! This concertina play~ er: he’s just the same as ever; nothing can stop him—neither the devil nor the priest nor the Soviet!” In the doorway stood, infuriated, a little haggard man. He had only one eye, which gleamed angrily. It was’Gromada, the mechanic. Gleb was shocked to see how frightfully wasted he had become in the past three years. “Don’t brawl, Comrades. You should be-ashamed of such goings-on. We can’t properly understand each other- ”’ Mitka cut him short: “Ah, Comrade Committee-man, excuse me, I beg. Tie your nerves up in a knot and pin them to your navel. I feel dead, worn out, ex- hausted! I’ll lay the corsets on the floor with my hat in front and the braces as harness. With this equipage I shall drive in great state to the demonstration. Hurray!” And, continuing his antics, he made a way for himself with his elbows through the crowd towards the door. The crowd followed him as though entranced by the spectacle. * a (ee entered the committee-room and stood by the wall behind the workmen. At the table sat the hunchback mechanic, Loshak, old, rusty and black as ever, next to Gromada. Loshak’s breast and his head, wearing a cap shiny and soiled by much handling, rested upon the table like a block of anthracite. Of his face one could only see his flattened nose and bloodshot eyes. He was motionless as a stone idol, while Gromada, agitated, spat, jumped up, again seated himself, gesticulating and shouting. A broad-hipped woman, quivering like jelly, was screaming. “You good-for-nothings! Who put you on our backs, you rotten lot? We poor people are dying so that you can fill your bellies. Look at their fat faces! My husband sticks at home scratching the goat while I have to come and jaw with this fat-bellied lot!” Some of the workmen clapped her on the back; they were almost choking with laughter. “Go on! Curse away, Mother Avdotia! Swear for all you're worth! You've got plenty of strength with a rear elevation like that!” “Be quiet, you swine! What has your Factory Committee been put here for? Is it taking care of us, or bothers its head about us? Are they doing anything for the workingman?” She took a step backwards, then kicked her leg high in the air, letting her heavy boot strike the table with a loud thud. Her raised skirt revealed her blue and swollen leg. The crowd thundered laughter and applause. “Bravo, Mother Avdotia! You’ve given us some performance, Pull the ¢urtain higher and let’s see the main act!” 7 Loshak sat like a blank-eyed idol of wrath. Gromada sprang up, his arm upraised—a thin wreck, gnawed by consumption. “Citizeness!. Comrade! After ail, you are a working woman. The Factory Committee is doing its duty....Er—in every possible way- You must understand. .. .” “Speak, Mothér Avdotia! Answer for all of us!” “To the devil with you, you rascals! What does she mean by it?, Here is Comrade Lenin’s portrait on the wall, and this slut makes her- self half-naked!” “Hold your tongues! Where are the boots your committee gave me? Look at thea. I’ve only walked to the cossack village with my sack and afterwards the three of us went to the dining-room where we got grub that’s only fit for pigs. Look how the uppers are sewn, and the toes here! What's the good of boots like that? I’ve a mind to make you eat them!” { «She drew her foot out .of the boot and stamped it on the floor; while the gaping boot revolv@d drunkenly on ftself and fell by Loshak’s chest. But Loshak sat still as a block of anthracite. Quietly he took the boot and placed it before him. “Go on, woman, have your say: we shall hear you.” Gromada could stand it no longer. He jumped up, waving his arms wildly. The last drops of his blood flickered in his livid, earthy cheeks. “I can’t stand this, Comrade Loshak! This citizeness talks without any logic—and so on, and so on.,... It’s shameful on her part; the Factory Committee is not a pack of thieves! We cannot tolerate a pro- vocation like that.” “Have patience, Gromada. A good steam bath does no harm. We'll get this fixed to rights. Now, you poor little orphan child, explain to us for what kind of work did you get those boots?” “Don’t you try and come it on me, you damned hunchback! Whether I worked or not, I’ve got them coming to me.” “Shut up! Use your brain instead of your tongue. I am asking you: for what specific work ¢. you claim to get your cornflour and milk, all nicely sprinkled with sugar? Well?—Give me the other boot. They were given to you for nothing, by the State. And we're requisition- ing the pigs for soup with which to fill your empty belly. Explain yourself; if you can you'll get them back. Come on, speak out!” Avdotia leaned back upon those behind, causing the whole crowd to shift step. “Gently, devil take you! Look out, brothers, don’t hurt her!” With the same air of melancholy calm, Loshak took the boot (its sole hanging like a cow’s tongue) and held it out to her. “Here you are, my good woman; take it! Get your husband to repair it and then you can wear them. And come back another time, so as to give us all a laugh. When the factory starts working we'll send you to the quarry: you'll blow the rocks up without dynamite.” Fat Avdotia took the boot and, sitting on the floor, began to force her fat varicose leg into it, while continuing to vent a medley of mut- tered comment. “Listen, blockheads,” she said. “Listen how the Soviet power puts everything right. They took the grain from the peasant so as to make war on the bourgeois; and they took the factories from the bourgeois— factories like ours. And nove there’s no work! They took the bour- geois’ goods away from them and said: ‘Divide this among yourselves, workers, so that nothing gets wasted.’ All right, go ahead. . . . But when the factory works, it will be different. Why don’t you go home, you wooden heads!” sis ceviat rien 4 aaa , ‘, To be Continued) L
