Other whole classes—such as wom 1 and _children—work in the of Shanghal and Hankow and | three | \m a month. The children in the match factories of Hankow, working | 12 hours a day under appalling con- | ditions, earn 30 cents (Mexican) a month. This is equivalent to about 14 cents a month Am Such_ehildren are often very young, | Laborers Hired at $1 A Month. An ordinary adult male laborer in | the great aotton mills of Shangh earns a maximum of $12 (Mexican) | and a minimum of $6 (Mexican) a month. The average is $9 (Mexican) or about four American dollars & | month. | The workman has no clothes—a few rags about his loins taking their p and almost no food. He sle the street or in a noisome co He has o education and no rig | verages between $9 and a month in the most prosperous d tricts where there is neither flood 1 drought. ' This is between $4 and $5.50, roughly, in American money a month. 95 Per Cent Are Illiterate. There are between 350,000,000 and 360,000,000 Chinese peasants. = Ninety- five per cent of them have no idea of reading or writing, and of the re- | maining 5 per cent none has re- ceived what could be called an edu- | cation. Into this misery, the Chinese Com- munist Party began to plunge in 1919. The only cry of the Chinese Commu. | nists so far is “revolt”—Revolution. They have not attempted to supply a program for what is to follow the | revolution. All they do is to point | out to the laborers and peasants what | a_death-inlife they are living. They blame this death-in-life on the foreign | B imperialists and on the Chinese mili- | iarists and reactionaries. Known As “Intellectuals.” To begin with, most of the Com- munists were intellectuals of the tyy of the late Li Ta-chao, scholar, critic, | and philosopher. The purely intellec- tual type did not for long control, however.
