T. 0% the night of February 9, 1930, a rebellion broke out among the native soldiers in the Yen-Bay Military Post stationed 150 kilometres from Hanoi, in the province of Tonking. The land rents are extremely high; the whole popu- lation of Indo-China groaning under the in- tolerable burden of existing taxation which is constantly being increased.

The experiences of August First last year, of March 6th and May First this year, of the Unemployed Convention in Chi- cago on July 4th, of the numerous union con- ventions, of the work in the South, are all evidence of this fact. That the Party is not deterred by difficulties, is amply demonstrated by the way in which Party and tens of thou- sands of workers have made banners of wid- ened struggle out of the dead bodies of our comrades, Katovis, Levy, Gonza and Weiz- enberg; with more than a hundred leading comrades in prison, with sentences runmng up to years, and thousands of victims of police b ings, attesting the sharpening of the struggle which only steels the determina- tion and fighting ability of our Party as the leader of the working cl In the field of, actual achievements of mass barracks, where the Red Flag was promptly hoisted. The French authorities immediately took steps to introduce “law and order” in the post. It was surrounded by a strong contingent of French troops; the authorities apparently did not altogether trust the native forces. Air- planes were used to suppress the revolt. With the rising in Yen-Bay, the natives at- tacked the miltary post in Hung-Hoa. They were repulsed, several of their number being killed and wounded. Nguyen Khac-Nhu, a rev- olutionary who had been sentenced in his ab- sence to 20 years’ penal servitude, died of his wounds. During the rising in Yen-Bay and the at- tack on the military post in Hung-Hoa, revo- lutionaries threw bombs in various parts of the town of Hanoi. This was done to divert the Communist deputee, cited figures showing how French capital investments had increased in Indo-China. Altogether French investments comprise three milliard franes, and are valued today on the exchange at 15 milliard francs. The investment of 18 million francs in the cement industry of Indo-China is valued at 500 million francs on the exchange, the shares of the seven millions invested in the coal mining industry now being worth 960 million francs, ete. Rebels Have Successes. In spite of the determined measures taken by the authorities, rebellion is spreading. From Yen-Bay the rebellion has spread throughout the Pleuve Rouge Valley for more than 200 kilometres. Rebels captured the village of Fuduk and attempted to attack Fort Nigian, In Winhbao the rebels killed an Anamese of- stances under which that Open Letter of the opparin: tion ites bulllingcr penne jcuener attention of the authorities from the event fetal eho had tried to bach in oe prornebie om as written. 2 Sixth National jet deh) a: é z ing i ~ the dis- ‘or Nigian to get reinforcements. jubse- ee oe Bee ener ne ganizational forms for the rapidly-growing developing in Yen-Bay and to hold up the di igi g tone, Gitlow and Co., had been ainst the Comintern; at the same as locked in a long-sta: , which paralyzed its act political line.

The growth of the T.U.U.L. and its affiliated unions is much slower, and does not keep pace with the radicalization of the workers and growth of their activity. This gap between organization and influence pre- sents the Party with its most dangerous prob- lem. The T. U. U. L. Recruiting Drive, which had set its goal as 50,000 new members by July 1st, achieved only about one-fifth of this patch of a punitive expedition to rescue the government forces besieged in Yen-Bay. This is the first armed rebellion in Indo- China. The French colonizers were seriously alarmed over the fact that movements of the rebels should have been so well co-ordinated. “Depeche Coloniale” writes: “The mutiny in Yen-Bay was a rising of the regular troops against their French officers. It would be wrong to under-estimate the gravity of the quently, news came through that similar “dis- turbances” had occurred in Bakninh, Kienan and in the lower Delta region. It is certainly characteristic that when the Yen-Bay barracks were captured the native population should have fraternized with the soldiers. The peas- ants began to support the rebels. Several stores of arms and explosives were discovered in Hanoi.

The egg which it lays for the mill-worker is a “goose egg”—a big zero!

Building the Revolutionary Unions. : The keynote of the convention was mobili: tion of the Party for mass work. “Mass tivity is our weanon. the winning of the ma- jority of the working cls our goal,” declared the message to the convention sent by our Foster, Minor, and Amter, from the prison where they are serving three years for organizing the nnemnloved. That ex- ressed the convention exact! And of al! The convention closed with complete unifi- | cation, on the political line of the Central Committee and the Comintern, with confidence and enthusiasm senling the delegates forth to their work, with a deeper, keener realiza- tion of the Communist tasks in this period of wars and revolutions. The tasks of revolution that are placed be- fore the various sections of the Communist International, are in some respects placed with particular sharpness before the Commu- nist Party of the U, S.A. The coming revo- lutionary crisis of capitalism, rapidly ma- turing, will also place heavy tasks upon the working class of this country. The workers can meet these tasks only then when the Com- munist Party brings into life, through con- scious, driving, determined leadership, the pro- gram of Lenin, the program of the Commu- nist International. In the midst of the blows of our class enemies, we will not relinquish for a single moment the firm, clear line of the Comintern, we will not recede one inch from the constant, persistent struggle for the masses and with the masses, while at the same time we will take all measures neces- sary to guard and guarantee the constant, systematic functioning of our Party commit- tees unter all circumstances ard all attacks.

These organizations can merely suc- ceed in deluling a few backward workers in- to believing the bosses system is doing some- thing to take care of the sick and shattered bodies which it has created. Conditions in Greenville, S. C., are intoler- able. So bad that even the “Greenville Pied- mont”, a bourgeois paper, is trying to stir its subscribers to charitable responses. Here families are unable to clothe themselves, and dumpy, spindle-legged children sprawl about in squalor with nothing more than a rag or apron to clothe their nakedness. A middle- aged man, owning no clothes but a pair of tattered overalls, was looking about for ma- terial enough to cover his body so he could attend a clinic and receive treatment for a dangerously sore foot and varicose veins, One family, ranging from a grandmother to crawling youngsters, lives in a four room hovel. Every other week the father is given three days work in a local mill. When things were “better” and he worked steadily he was thrown the miserable pittance of twelve dol- lars a week. When one of the children died of tuberculosis they were confronted with a doctor’s bill that will take them years to pay. One little girl in the family is clothed in racs and tattore: and the grandmather with all the of Atlanta, Ga. The mill workers of the south are ready for organization, They are ready for that class- struggle knowledge which will teach them how to throw off the heavy yoke of capitalism. Hunger, misery, and a militant curiosity are provoking them to learn the nature of the wage-slavery system which brutalizes men, women and children so an insignificant group of capitalists may glut themselves on the profits, gew-gaws, and trappings of that rot- ten branch of our decadent society, disgust- ingly known as the “upper” class, Adjusted to the immediate and peculiar con- ditions in each locali‘y, there must be a spee ly orientation toward the coneres? application of the revolutionary Trade Union program. Today the radicalization of the workers and their willingness to follow our leadership is far ahead of our organization’s ability to take care of them. We must recognize this fact and translate our theories into action by chrystallizing the radical tendencies of these ; workers into a definite program. Let us ful- | fil these tasks with courage and ability; then | we can go forward with the mass organization of these workers into a political party. And with “class against class” as our slogan we will march forward to the over:hrow of capitalism and to the establishment of a Workers’ an!

The food union has reorganized itself nnen the chon committee basis with a large shop delegate council, but these shop committees are still a name, they do not function as such—the samc old union apparatus with a little change in form and name, conducts the affairs of the union, The shop committee and shop delerate councils have not yet taken over the leadership and complete control of the shop and the union. The Trade Union Unity Council has a paper de‘sgation of over 200 but from 4° to 65 show un at the meetings. The work of the T.UUC differs only slightly from the old propaganda leagre, in snite of the fact that it is a tele gated body, meeting every two weeks, with an executive committee of 35---the orranizer and the seerctary funetions as the T.U.U.C.—the Negro, Youth, and Women departments re- maining on paper-the delevates and the unions are not drawn into the work, nor do they pay rer capita tax to aid in the work, and very little headway ha’ been made in de- velopiny a broader leadership. This is due to the fact that the leadership of the unions and leagues do no. yet take seriously the building of the T.U.U.C. and do not understand the important role that a revolutionary centra) council can and must play in the class struggle. { It also expresses a weakness on the part of expressions of the workers to strugele under the leadershin of the T.U.U.L., should compel us to analyze our shortcomings in a frankly criticel manner, to tighten up our ranks, and to rez!ly seriously begin to fulfill the historic task of the T.U.U.L., ie., to organize the un- organized for the class struggle.
