The Present Situation of the Red Army in Kiangs' Province exed in Nanking e 13, stated: “The Reds in south Kiangsi will be exterminated within one month, and peace and order will be restored in the re- conquered territories within two months.” Yet Chiang Kai-shek himself directing 300,000 troops armed with machine-guns, poison-gas bombs, and airplanes, and accompanied by German Fascist military advisers, has already been en- gaged in the Red suppression campaign for a month. What is the result? The Shanghai Mainichi, a Japanese daily, of July 10 reported that on July 7, two divisions, the 8th and 24th, in the Left Wing of the Red suppression campaign were surrounded by Réds in Nanfeng ‘Hsien, southeastern Kiangsi. The same report stated that the Red Army it ern and eastern parts of Kiangsi had captured Wuyuen, south of Anhwei Province, and Sun- gan in Pukien. The same paper of July 14 stated that one brigade of the 14th Division was crushed by the Reds in Tankwan. A great num- ber of troops of the 45th Division had muti- nied and gone over to the Reds in Nanfeng, ac- cording to another reliable source. The new qth Red Army in West Kiangsi, according to the Kiukiang Evennig Post of July 10 cap- tured Kanchow, a stronghold of the White Army, on the 6th, thereby connecting with the main force of the Red Army in Hingkoo. The Shanghai Mainichi of July 12 reported: “The Reds in Kiangsi total 100,000 armed men with 50,000 rifles. They are well disciplined in every respect, their tactics are well formulated. In recent battles with the government troops the Reds have captured much ammunition as well as radio instruments, etc., from the disarmed. Gov- ernment troops.” The development of the Red Army and the failure of Chiang Kai-shek’s sup- pression has already been reported by the bour- geois press. It is quite certain that the losses of the White in the so-called “Red Suppression Cam- paign” is more serious than the bourgeois press reports. Military press and telegraphic censor- ships was ordered throughout the country shortly before Chiang Kai-shek’s departure to Kiangsi. Thus, all daily newspapers as well as magazines are allowed to publish nothing but the reports of how many Reds have been killed and how many Soviet districts captured by the White Army. The reports have emanated only from Chiang’s headquarters or from his propaganda department. Who will trust such stupidly false news? For instance, the Shun Pao, the oldest Chinese daily in Shanghai, published on July 12 a Nanchang message saying that the city of Kwangchang was captured by Ho Ying-ching, commander of the Right Wing Army in Kiangsi and minister of war of Nanking government. Again, the same paper on the 16th of July re- ports another telegram from Nanchang military headquarters saying: “Our troops captured Kwangchang on the afternoon of 15th.” On the same day the paper reported that Left Wing troops were marching forward to Kwankchang from two sides. This is an example of how Chiang Kai-shek attempts to deceive the public. The White forces are powerful indeed. In ad- dition to 300,000 troops, ammunition furnished by imperialist countries, $1,400,000 was wired to Kiangsi from Nanking from July 4-11, for additional Red suppression funds. In reaction to Senator Pittman’s advice that “The building of roads is the most important taks for suppress- ing the Reds”, Chiang Kai-shek decided on July 12, to float a loan of $5,000,000 to be used for building a highway through Kiangsi and Kwangtung provinces. In an attempt to make the peasants of the So- net districts surrender to the Kuomintang, Chi- ang Kai-shek has offered heavy bribes and or- ganized a special propaganda committee. A re- port of July 15 stated: “100,000 copies of hand- bills were distributed in the Soviet districts by airplanes.” But the peasants in China, the most exploited toiling masses of’ the world, are fight- ing shoulder to shoulder with the Red Army, shey are in fact the basis of the Red Army. On June 20 the Takungpao, most noted Chinese daily in the country, reported: “Troops of the Red Army never give one rifle and never sur- render to the g sia troops, they fight to the end. Every ; in the Red territory is trained in the Red Guard Corps and are given land. they fight the government troops as cour- the Red Arm A conversation with an officer of the White Army appeared in ame paper on July 11, saying: “Three or four Reds are armed wit hone rifle, and if we les we must kill them.” In this, as in countless other reports, we are informed how the Red Army and the peasants are fighting bloody war for their power—the Soviet power of China. Reports concerning the situation in the White Army are many. The Shanghai Mainichi of July 14 says that the Kuomintang militarists pay no attention to fighting the Reds because they cannot hold the reconquered territory even if the Reds are defeated on one hand, and, on the other, because of conflicts among them. The government troops have not been paid for three months, this is due to the financial crisis | of the Nanking government and the corruption of the military officers and officials, further- more, the troops understand that fighting the Reds has no meaning for them. Munties of gov- ernment troops are repeatedly reported. Under. the Nanking| the unparalleled exploitation of government, the masses in the White territories sympathize and support the Red Army. Cer- tainly, under such conditions, Chiang Kai-shek, the head human butcher of the Chinese ruling class, can maintain his power no longer, not- withstanding the fact that he carried out the most beastly White Terror against the toiling masses. Under the name of the “Red Suppression Fund” hundreds of kinds of new taxes have been imposed, and using the name of “Enlisting Red Suppression Troops” thousands of workers and peasants have been captured and forced into the ‘White Army labor corps. On the 20th of July the Takungpao reported: “Because of failure to’get men by enlistment, the forced labor policy is now used. The militarists have instructed the magistrates in various districts to secure a cer- tain number of men within the appointed day. | Persons who wish to escape from such a fate must pay a heavy sum. The masses call this policy ‘kidnapping coolie”, for the soldiers kid- nap the poor in the street and in the homes which the poor live. Again, the same paper of June 25 reported: “The Anhwei provincial gov- ernment was instructed to secure 5,000 men to be sent to Nanchang, the capital of Kiangsi, within the period of one month.” It is learned, accord- ing to the same source that 3,000 peasants were captured in Chengchow, a large city in Honan | Province, and that hundreds died in the pris- | oners’ car in which they were trapped. More- over, coolies who attempted to escape were shot down by the White Guards. Similar stories come from Hankow and other cities. The revolutionary movement in the White Territories is developing from day to day. In Shanghai, for instance, revolutionary handbills are often found in the street. In north China, 1,500 troops in Pingting, Shansi, mutinied on July 4. According to a report in the Shanghai Mainichi of July 8, the mutineers killed two company commanders, released all prisoners and distributed handbills addressed: “Appeal to the Soldiers, Workers, Peasants and Broad Masses.” ‘They call themselves the 24th Red Army of the Communist Party. The sudden appearance of the Red Army in North China during the imperialist attack on the Red Army in Kiangsi, is a signal which tells us that the Chinese Red Army will never be de- defeated, but will enlarge its activities until the toiling masses are released from exploitation of the imperialists and their tools, the Kuomin- tang. Simultaneously, on the background of the internal conflicts among the imperialist powers, the rival Kuomintang militarists ve begun a new war throughout the coun! -y. Feat China, according to a British owned daily in Shanghai of July 11: “At a meeting of the Can- tonese and Kwangsi commanders, it was decided to present a united front in view of the fact that the Nanking troops are very close to the Kwang- tung border. The first group army (Kwang- tung) and the fourth group army (Kwangsi) have bought large consignments of arms, am- munition and bombing aeroplanes through sev- eral foreign firms in Hongkong.” Regarding the Northern part of the country, two ex-kuomin- chon generals Shih Yu-San and Sun Tien-yin, have circulated an anit-Chiang Kai-shek and Chang Ksuch-liang telegram. More than eighty trains are held by General Shin Yu-san. Mean- while the news relating Chiang Kai-2zhek’s pre- paration of war against the southern and north- ern miltarists are currently reported in the press. The failure of Chiang Kai-shek’s Anti-Red campaign will be realized because the Red Army is supported by the toiling masses of the country. ~ Answer the Attack on Negro Athletes By FRANK HENDERSON. HE attempt of Negro youth to $200,000 s the city o use the new wimming pool recently opened in sburgh resulted in a riot. White hoodlums, under the influence of the vicious poison of race hatred, supported and encour- aged by the police, made several attacks against the Negro athletes who ‘are fighting for the right to use public sport and recreational facili- ies without discrimination. This attack against the Negro workers is a result of long years of discrimination against them on the sport field; the sentiment which brews daily in the sport pages of the bosses’ newspapers; and the fight of white and Negro revolutionary workers for full equality for the Negro workers. ‘This incident in Pittsburgh is not an isolated case of discrimination. The whole social order is contaminated with race hatred. Jim Crowism is one of the pillars of capitalist exploitation of the working class. It causes fights and riots among the workers themselves. It blinds the workers from seeing their rea] enemy—the rich boss class. Race hatred even seeps into the ranks of revolutionary workers. It finds its way into the field of sports. But on the sport field the boss class has a difficult job of proving that the Negro ath- lete is inferior to the white sportsman. At the present time we have world’s champions in many fields of sport. Negro baseball players, barred from big league playing, have organized their own teams which could eaily win over the best of the big league professional teams, There are world champions in boxing, namely, Brown, bantam champ; Kid Chocolate, Junior light- weight; and Thompson, welterweight. In foot ball and track and field sports Negro athletes climbed to the top. This in spite of constant discrimination against them, Cases of discrimination and Jim Crowism hap- pen daily. The Ainateur Athletic Union, offi- cial (bosses) sport organization, recently held in New York # special elimination for Negro swim- / ‘ mers in Harlem for its Central Park swimming meet. The Lawn Tennis Association—an AAU outfit, is for whites only. Negro players are refused entrance into their tOurneys. Many col- lege athletic teams place Negro players on the “sick list” when they compete with southern teams. The YMCA has hundreds of Jim Crow organizations throughout the country. In ad- dition to this the “Y’s” are scab furnishing agencies as shown by the Duluth, Mich., dock workers’ strike. It is oniy in the ranks of the revolutionary workers that the fight for racial equality goes on daily. The Labor Sports Union of America is the only organization that fights Jim Crowism and race discrimination on the field of sports. In the ranks of the LSU, at its national and international competitions, the Negro athlete is a@comrade. .« At the present time, just after the return of the workers’ sport delegation from the Berlin Spartakiad; as the discrimination against Negro athletes becomes sharper; as the Labor Sports Union is preparing for its National Conference to take place in Pittsburgh in November—the LSU appeals to all workers to help it in its task of building a workers’ sport organization which is free from discrimination and fights against race hatred, An organization which is based uyon the principle of unity of the working class against the boss class. Negro athletes must an- swer the Pittsburgh attack and constant dis- crimination against them by joining the ranks of the Labor Sports Union. A stubborn fight for full equality must be carried on under the ban- ner of the class struggle. Down with race discrimination!

Dunn ABOR DAY was first observed in New York City in 1882. In 1884, the first Monday in September was chosen by the American Federa- tion of Labor as its official labor day. In_ 1903 an unsuccessful attempt was made by more mili- tant elements in the A. F. of L. to change Labor Day from September to May 1, the real holiday of labor in other countries. But Samuel Gom- pers and his machine spiked this move. Labor Day was declared by law as early as 1872 in Alabama, a nice reactionary state in which to inaugurate the practice. In 1892 the U. S. Con- gress declared it a holiday while most of the other states had made it @ legal holiday during the period from 1872 to 1894. The day, says an official A. F. of L. history and encyclopedia, would “permit public tribute to American industry”. That’s just about all it has ever permitted or evoked from thé officials of the A. F. of L. unions. In 1918 the A. F. of L. slogan for the day was “Win the War for Free- dom.’ In 191 about 10,000,000 unemployed are , enjoying that freedom—to starve—won in the war that put most of the Federation’s hierarchy in government jobs. Labor Day is now very dear to the heart of the labor bureaucracy. The fat boys love it because it is a local labor day, and anything legal ap- peals to them. It is also a precious occasion for them because it is so obviously an offset to the May Day of the European and colonial masses with its implication of international solidarity and struggle. The A. F. of L. business union leaders hate the word “international” and trem- ble a tth ethought of international solidarity of labor. Of course they do express their inter- national “fraternal” feelings after a fashion by sending a delegate to the annual sessions of the British Trade Union Congress. But as every one knows, these delegates go for the ride, the British Walter White “Explains” By JANE DILLON ‘HE parents of the Scottsboro boys read with indignation and disgust statements in the Ne- gro press given out by Walter White, secretary of the N.AAC.P. Claude Patterson, father of Haywood, wrote to Mr. White asking him to keep his hands off Haywood. In reply to Com-' rade Patterson’s demands, Mr. White sent a four-page letter of “explanation.” Mr. White starts out with true “Christian humility’: “I have no feeling against you be- cause of the letter you have written because I know from its tone that you do not know all the facts which are involved.” He then goes on to sing the praises of Attorney Beddow, who only a few days ago publicly withdrew from the case but has evidently been persuaded (by a@ large fee?) to remain. “They (meaning the ILD) have said to you that the only hope of saving the boys is by destroying the system under which they were convicted.” But the parents know that the In- ternational Labor Defense has capable lawyers to defend the boys in court. They also know that were it not for the mass protests from workers of all races all over the world, organ- ized by the I.L.D., their boys would have burned in the electric chair on July 10. And they know that the twenty-two years of “gentlemanly” pleading in the boss courts about which the N.A.A.C.P, so proudly boasts did not prevent their boys from being framed up and will not prevent other boys from meeting with a sim- ilar fate. Mr. White, in common with the black and white bosses, thinks the Negro workers are too stupid to see through his lies, He tries to win the parents with tales about the “victories” of the N.A.A.O.P, ‘Then he says, “In contrast... is the record of the International Labor Deferise, This latter organization has not been able even to save white people.” Mr. White of course does not mention the reductfon of the long sentences of Paul Crouch and Walter Trumbull; the saving of Salvatore Accorsi and Grecco and Carillo from the electric chair; the freeing of Yetta Stromberg, whose case’ was fought through the U. S. Supreme Court; the dismissal of criminal syndicalism charges against Roy Mahoney, Negro worker; the smashing of the frame-up against Paul Kassay; and just recently the freeing of twenty of the twenty- mine Negro share croppers at Camp Hill, Ala- bama, These and other cases in which the LL. BR. bas more than met the N.AA.OP.'s standard: \ of “success” are “forgotten” by Mr. White. But the workers, Negro and white, remember. “Some of the leaders of that movement (the LL.D.) have even’ gone so far as to admit that their ultimate desire is to destroy the American government and if in doing that the life of your boys must be sacrificed, this will be done.” ‘This is White's interpretation (for the benefit of his masters) of the fact that the I-L.D. refuses to hold forth to the workers the illusion that there will be no victims under capitalism. The IL, D. utilizes the courts wherever possible to snatch their prey from the claws of the capitalist buz- zards, but it does not rely on courts alone. - The deliberate lies about threats against the lives of the Governor and other officials “of Alabama are in direct contradiction to the most” basic principles of the T-L.D,, which cal): for mass resistance against boss persecution, not. in- dividual acts of terror and revenge. We know that one Governor will be replaced by another Governor, just as one Walter White will be re placed by another Walter White, to lick the masters’ boots, until the workers and farmers, black and white, rid themselves of the whole caboodle of bosses and boss-men. “Common sense will show that he can be saved only through the legal processes which now govern this country,” says Walter White to the father of Haywood Patterson. Ah, Mr. White, but it takes uncommon sense, uncommon to boss toadies, to know that evidence is not enough to acquit these boys, or they would be free today. We have evidence, and we will bring it into the courts and before the working class of the world — because we know that only the mighty yoice _ of the workers and farmers can force the courts to Usten to this evidence. ‘This misleader again and again tells the boys, the parents, and the world at large that their minds have been poisonet, they do not un- derstand, etc. etc. But they understand you only too well, Mr. White. And they answer, they'd rather die fighting, if necessary, than crawl on their bellies along with you! ‘The Negro workers have tasted boss justice as dispensed by the Southern courts and they know that no Negro has a chance there. They realize that only mass protests from Negro and white workers throughout the world and a mass membership in the Imternational Labor Defense thar athe tc ore ta ON ale, and the suitably inscribed gold watch they are invariably given by the gang that betrayed the British General Strike of 1926. And inter- national solidarity is also Okay, Matthew Woll contends, if it is with the right folks—say with an international committee of bankers, profes- sional patriots and Russian White Guards to fight the Soviet Union, Labor officials also love the September legal holiday because it gives them a chance to speak on the same platform with Tammany politicians, Republican ward bosses, racketeers, bankers, ma- jors and frocked-coated preachers (Labor Day sermons are quite the style) and othet respec- table people representing the “broad interests” of the “community”. The idea is to sit down after the speaking and dig into a good feast with these representatives of capital and get them to adopt an “enlightenment policy” toward labor. This usually means entering into an agreement to install an A. F. of L. union to speed up the workers instead of a company union. Typical of Labor Day eloquence this year is the printed speech of A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and considered one of the most “progressive” labor leaders in the country. He heads the brother- hood of which “Deportation” Doak was recently the legislative agent. Through the Federated Press, which gives him three whole pages, Mr. Whitney exhibits his “progressivism”. Under the title of “Labor Day of 1931” he starts off with a “shudder at the thought of the approaching winter”, following this by kindly references to the “common peo- ple”, a term which he uses in referring to the workers. He tells us that “if the capitalists had adopted an enlightened policy” things would be all right today. But a little later he informs us that some of the capitalists have already adopted such a policy. At this point he breaks into a lit- eral panegyric on the well-publicized stagger system recently adopted as an advertising stunt to sell more Kellogg’s corn flakes and Squibb’s tooth paste. Whitney showers these firms with his unqualified praise although, if he is not an idiot, he knows that both are 100 per cent anti- union and that militant workers handing eut shop papers near their doors are arrested and slugged by the police. He does admit that the productivity of these firms has gone up with the cutting of hours of work, but does not tell us that, a clever speedup is. responsible for this fact as well as for the increased profits tha both firms have made under t he 6-hour day. Nor does he state anywhere that wages in both of these com- panies. are way below the amount required for a family to live, even on a “minimum health and decency” level. But Mr. Whitney goes farther and in a Polly- anié tone worthy of a White House press re- lease says, “I do believe that out of this depres- Sion will come a better day for the masses who “toll”, Why is he so of the future? Because the capitalists, presumably of their own free -will, and inspired by Squibb and Kellogg, are going to come to'a, Sid valuation of la- bor’s services.” © ‘There is not one note of: istahiiclo in the whole piece. The Greens and Wolls could do no better than Whitney in thelr ‘policy sof sellout and treat. “This is typical Labor Day trie.

If you read them both you will see the difference between bourgeois and pro- letarian humor, the.one negative, the other with @ positive social aim. Here is the only contri- bution Eddie Cantor's book makes to Commun- ism in America: “The other day I passed Union Square and saw a local Communist standing on the corner, hitting himself on the head with a club. ‘What’s the idea?’ I asked him. ‘I missed the last meet- ing’, he explained.” Of course, capitalism is getting so hopelessly insane that even the poorest slap-stick comedian can find endless laughs at it. But why pay a dollar for a nickel’s worth of wit and humor, when you can get a dollar's worth for a nickel in the first Red Sparks pamphlet issued. We give you fair warning that if you buy the first one, we'll make another collection cg Sparks and get out another pamphlet, ad infinitum.

Not a dive is missed. He is last reported from Monte Carlo, and the logical southern tip of his journey should be a visit to the Vatican and a kiss on the toe of the pope. From Vienna, it was reported that his “sec- retary,” one David Maier, whom Walker swore some months ago that he never ‘heard of,-was arranging for another one of Walker’s charity stunts—helping some crippled girl of six years of age. Now it turns out that Maier, who’ did @ stretch in Sing Sing for’ bribery, is ‘warited again on the same subject but a different” Pre- dicate. Incdientally, Walker invented the cheapest ‘way to become famous for charity that we know of.

It is a message from God. “Don't talk in church without necéssity.
