Raulston handed down his predicted decision today upholding the Tennessee anti- evolution law and declaring it constitutional, and overruling the motion of the lawyers defending John T. Scopes that the indict- ment be quashed. ; Raulston ordered the tria] of Scopes for teaching evolytion to his high school biology students to proceed ‘on its merits”. The judge also decided that the state had properly drawn the second indictment against Scopes. Judge Raulsten’s decision held that the state of Tennessee was “within its constitutional police powers in prohibiting the teaching of any theory the biblical the creation of man.” of evolution that denied story of May Spread to Nation. According to the decision, if up- held in the higher courts, the teach- ing of scientific facts may be barred from the educational system of the state at the will of those controlling the legislature. It has already been announced by southern politicians backing the anti- evolution law that a national cam- paign will be begun’ by them, next fall to placejan anti-evolution law on the federal etatutes. A bill is to be introduced by Representative Will Taylor. republican, Tennessee, or William D. Upshaw, democrat, of Georgia, to prohibit the teaching of evolution in the nation’s Again Object to Prayer. The opening prayer was offered by Dr. Charles Francis Potter, a unitari- an minister and evolutionist from New York. Dr. Potter was chosen for the cere- mony by the Dayton pastors’ associa- tion at the request of Judge John T. Raulston. The prayer, however, was | again objected to by Scopes’ counsel even tho the minister came here to be a defense witness. Dr. John R. Neal, of Scopes’ coun- sel, voiced the protest and announced that an exception was taken to the judge’s ruling permitting the prayer. He cited an opinion from the supreme court of the United States, which read: “The court will take judicial notice that religious world is divided into numerous sects and that a gen- eral doctrine is held by each sect.” His announcement provoked state public | . on ‘stant heckling each morning” by the defense. Raultston Overrules Defense. The defense immediately entered an objection, and the judge as quickly overruled it. An exception was taken by Frank McElwee, a new Scopes’ attorney. At the same time, John R. Neal entered a demurrer for the defense to the indictment on the same constitutional grounds carried in the motion to quash. The court overruled every constitu- ONAL ANTI-EVOLUTION BILL CONGRESS; LAW-RULED VALID T tional question raised by the defense in his conclusion. . Judge Raulston read his decision, approximately 8,000 words long. Would Give Legislature Dictatorship. n answering the defense’s charge rthat the law violated the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitu- tion, the court held that the legisla- ture had sufficient authority under its police powers not only to prescribe a course of study, but to name the books used, and that the courts could not interfere, He cited the opinion of Justice Mc- ‘Reynolds of the United States su- preme court in the Oregon school case, the same/’court’s ruling on the Meyer-Nebraska case and on the de- cision of the Tennessee state supreme yeourt in the Leper case, which held “that the legislature could prescribe certain books in all its schools. Upholds Educational Censor. “In the absence of expressed con- stitutional provisions,” Raulston rul- ed, “the power (to control schools) must necessarily reside in the legis- lature and hence, it has the power to prescribe a course of study as well as the books to be used.” Then there came the flurry of mo- tions from defense counsel and the judge ordered a recess.

Clarence Darrow, ranking defense attorney, made the formal exception to Raulston’s ruling. It was entered on the record. Some of the bad feeling between lawyers was removed when Attorney General A. Thomas Stewart arose to apologize to Arthur Garfield Hayes for his “shut your mouth” statement made during yesterday’s session. Stewart said he was “very much ashamed” for his discourteous remark. A burst of applause greeted Stewart’s state- ment. “T accept the apology,” said Hayes, “if the state’s attorney will refrain from further reference to the states from which defense counsel came.” The crowd applauded Hayes.

Raulston called Richard J. Beamish, of Phila- delphia, chairman of the committee of newspapermen, which was appointed to investigate the International News Service story. Report on News Leak, Beamish submitted the following re- port: “The committee appointed by your honorable court to investigate a re- ported news leak of the substance of your honor’s opinion upon the motion to quash the indictment of John T.

He therefore made a care- ful deduction that you intended to rule against the defense motion and based his story upon that.” The court thereupon called this correspondent to the stand and asked him whether he intended to “use strategem”’ upon the judge.

The industrial slavery thus imposed has been so degrading that the Chi- nese have joined in militant protest against all their oppres- sors. ‘ Se” eee * * 8 @ go Rab ‘not enough that new things should come Into the world, the radio instead of the old family almanac, the smooth-surfaced highway instead of the Indian trail, the huge industrial machine in place of the small hand tools. Something else must happen before the masses can benefit. The masses must be the masters. They must dominate their own destiny. They must own the industrial machine instead of being owned by it. | That is the message that the scarlet-bannered airplanes coming down out of the sky upon Peking brought to the Chinese working masses from Red Moscow. It was the mes- sage of human liberation that is dangerous to those who believe in, defend and fight for human degradation under the wages system. The night airmail that flies between Chicago and New York, carrying the stocks and bonds, the correspondence of robber business, everything in aid of bigger profits, means little to the American workers and poor farmers, except that it oils the-machinery of plunder that is taking the wealth they produce. But the airlane along which the Soviet planes fly from Moscow to Peking is one of the roads that leads from the establishing better communications between proletarian victory today of the Russian masses to the world. proletarian victory of the morrow; one of the roads that progresses toward the new civilization—toward Communism. | a British Coal Miners Reject Wage Cut and the Longer Workday (Continued from page 1) Traitors Cannot Stop Miners Strong influence of yellow socialists and union reactionaries were brought to bear upon the miners to get them to accept the government's proposed court of inquiry or to meet the terms of the owners, but these influences were unavailing. , ‘ In officially announcing its decision the federation said it would inform the government it could not accept another court of inquiry “having for } its object the ascertainment of whe- ther miners’ wages shall be reduced or their hours extended.” The announ- cement added that the federation would meet the ownesr in open con- wages or longer hours.

From their sluggishness Ana smug- gishness will arise a revolting attitude towards the ignorant and primitive lives they ate now forced td live be- cause of the mythical chains of christ- ianity that enslave them. And it is due time that they do_.fe- volt against the crimes committed by the christian church, for it is the his- torical truth that christianity has al- 'ways QO.

No won- der is it that Bryan is repéatedly praising the ignorant for woe to him if the masses saw thru his trickery and hypocrisy! The- old fairy tale about the poor inheriting the heavens and the rich going to hell is still being preached by Bryan, yet Mr. Bryan is still going | wild in his chase for the dollar. By his preaching of bunk to the masses he has amassed not a small fortune. Christianity Aids Capitalism A hungry worker can have faith in the bible, but he cannot study science, Therefore so long as modern christ- ianity holds sway over the masses, so long as the Bryans can hypnotize the mass¢és to look towards heaven for their salvation, so long will they re- main the victims of the idle pluto- crats. But when the masses. will re- volt and unchain themselves from. the ravings of progeny fanatics and thus look for their betterment here and now tbe days of wage-slavery walk be numbered. It is therefore quiet obvious that the capitalists are drunk with joy when they can get the legislatures to pass laws barring the teaching of evo- lution, and at the same time, make bible reading in the public schools compulsory. For no matter how rot- ten the conditions under which the workers toil, and regardless of the Starvation wages iney receive, the worker who is dominated by “the Bryans will always look t6 héaven for better conditions and for a better day. Such religiously ‘dominated wage- slaves will always be too_blind to de- mand a higher wage, a shorter work- ing day and better working condi- tions. Such workers never compose | the militant working class who fight for the end of wage slavery. Would Spread Bigotry Because of these cold facts the rul- ing class is anxious for more ignorant and bigoted legislatures to pass suth anti-evolution laws as the ene under fire in Tennessee. At present several more states are considering enacting similar slave laws, and compel the children Of the working class to be- come imbued with religious bigotry. With the passing of such legisla- tion we have further indubitable proof that the teachers and professors are not free and dignified and independ- ent (as some budding school worms seem to think) but are simply the Minnesota. mouth-pieces fo the present capitalist [and religious domineering classes who rule America today.

Schools Run For Big Business Upton Sinclair has produced con- clusive evidence in his “Goose-Step” and “Goslings” to convince anyone that the schools and colleges are run for the interests of big business. As Dr. Tilasey, district superintendent of | the public schools of New York City says: “I do not know any school sys- tem in the United States which is run for the benefit of the children. They are all run for the benefit of the gang.” And the “gang” is none other than the predatory interests that rule supreme both government and _ in- dust Children Turned Out By Yard The schools of this country are run like factories; the children are the raw material and are turned out like biscuits and bolts, completely standar- ized. The rulers of imperial America hire the teachers for this job of mold- ing your children so that they will make g0od docile wage slaves. The more reactionary the teacher the bet- ter can he repress and supprese the individualism and freedom inherent in your child. The teacher tainted with the least liberalism or radicalism is hounded and spied upon like a thief or traitor. “We must please the business man, otherwise they will not vote the bonds to keep our schools going,” says the Los Angeles superintended of schools. Thus is it true thruout the country. The schools are here to inculcate the children’s minds with propaganda of the vilest brand. “My country right or wrong” is the leading motto that is upheld in our public schools.

Their efforts to find suitable places to tive make a stirring story, according to’Arthur E.

He must also revolt against the routine and tedi- ous and nerve-wrecking work he is now forced to perform after school hours. Only in organization can these things become real.

The Los Angeles authorities have nothing to show that any punishment has been meted out to the guilty. Here are the facts: Some working class folks, supposed to have leanings toward socialism, were holding an entertainment in a small hall. at San Pedro. There were men, women and children present. wiches were served. It was a private affair. American Labor Atrocities. Suddenly the doors were broken open. Many men, including some in United States navy uniforms, rushed in. They attacked the members of the sociable party and drove men and women into the streets. Having possession of the hall, they demolish- ed furniture. © Upon three children, a boy. seven years old and two girls, nine and ten, they upset a boiler of hot. coffee, crippling one and disfiguring all three for life, They carried furniture and station- ery into the street, made a pile and fired it. Everything portable in the hall was destroyed. Above the Law. At that time H. B. Haldeman was recruiting sailors of the United States war vessels off San Pedro as mem- bers of. the ku klux klan. This man is head of the Los Angeles K. K. K. and is son of H. M. Haldeman, prési- dent of the Better America Fedéra- Los Angelés, publicly announced that if the perpetrators of the outrage Were not caught and punished, law afd order would be jeopardized. A few weeks later he resigned. Nothing Has Been Done. Nothing has since been done to bring the offenders to justice. Appar. ently, in the view of Los Angeles leaders, the crime was not a blot on the record of the city, but rather a feat to be preserved in history. All indications are that the “men in U. 8. naval uniforms” were sailors from the war vessels and under K. K. K. orders and that the outrage was committed by votaries of the klan and federation. It could hardly be ex- pected that they would be bothered by the authorities. Fighting in Mexico.

Duritg Comrade Wicks’ speech the police came around and demanded that the meeting be stopped. He gave illness in a nearby house as the reason, The entire meeting crossed the street in a body. But as soon as the meeting got under way the police interfered again, this time on the flimsy pretext that the permit did not hold good for that corner, The com- mittee in charge insisted on the right to hold the meeting. The police be- - form and told him he was under ar- rest. Audience Demanded Speaker The audience as one man surged into the police and demanded that the speaker be immediately released threatening to exercise their rights as citizens against the pplice who were disrupting a peaceful meeting. The militant attitude of the workers transformed the police into a couple of lambs and they mumbled some- thing about orders and said the meet- ing would be permitted a few corners away. By this time a tremendous gather- ing of workers (this is a working class district) collected around the meeting and the committee seeing an opportunity to turn the meeting into a parade decided to move the meeting a few blocks away. Wicks announced that the meeting would move and re- quested the audience to form in line and parade in a body to the new 1oca- tion. This was received with wild outbursts of cheers.

French (Continueé from page 1) arrested because of their opposition to the capitalistic Moroccan war, after Comrade Zinoviev’s speech. ‘The speech follows: By GREGORY ZINOVIEV. Comrades: In certain parts of the ‘world events are now developing which constitute, altho for the time being on a relatively small scale, the precursors of those great upheavals which will undoubtedly take place on a huge scale in the future. One of ‘these is the war in Morocco. In Mor- occo there is proceeding a typical colonial war which affects only two of the great powers. But in this struggle there are to be seen, as the sun in a drop of water, the outlines of great events which await humanity in the next few years. In one of his writings just before his death, Comrade Lenin stated that, in about the years 1925 or 1928 a new great world war was to be expected which would cost humanity five to ten times more victims than the war of 1914 tho 1918.

In fact’ the French Republic, in which the | mensheviki who defeated Poincare are in power, a government which calls itself a democratic and a left govern- ment, the government of the left bloc, is now carrying on a typical \ colonial war of plunder and robbery against a little people. One would have expected, after the lessons : which the workers of the whole world “om peceived in the war of 1914-1918, that even the party of the mensheviki would have shown in this whole affair at least some vestige of shame. Mean- time, the whole tragedy of the situa- tion consists in the fact that in the vear 1925 the French party of the mensheviki, who constitute a consid- erable power in France, have the brazenness to repeat word for word that which international menshevism declared at the beginning of the war in the year 1914. The same deception, the same speeches regarding “‘defend- ing the fatherland,” the same: false phrases and in reality the same help for the. bourgeoisie of their own country. Imperialism vs. Riffians. If in the war of 1914 the state of af- fairs, at least at the commencement, was somewhat confused, if. at that time it was not at once quite clear who was the aggressor and what was the question at stake, tr at that time there was a tangle of complicated re- lations, in the present affair in Mor- oceo everything is perfectly clear, Here there can be no two different op- inions regarding the causes and the character of the war. On the one side there is a small people, on the other side a great imperialist power, which is attacking a weaker country and is ‘twisting a fresh knot of international conflicts thru which it will be exceed- ingly difficult to cut. And if in the war of 1914 one still spoke of defend- ing civilization and democracy from the attacks of Russian czarism and such like, we have before us now a perfectly naked example of open rob- bery. Here no mention whatever is made of defending “culture,” of rescu- ing Europe from wenriant and the Cos- sh, penne om a i - se & ote. ee ae _— ———— sacks. Here the only fact is that French imperialism is lusting for con- quests; it is endeavoring to wrest from a small people, the Riff Kabyles, fresh stretches of territory. “Democracy” Attacks Colonial Workers. And therefore, in the summer of 1925, after the victory of the left bloc over Poincare, after the victory of so- called democracy, which has _ intro- duced a new era of pacifism, etc., the French bourgeoisie sénds its troops to Morocco and begins a néw war. Within the last few days the most prominent representatives of French parties have, in the press and in parliament, expressed their opinion regarding the events in Morocco. Ren- audel states: “With what méans doés the government hope to end the mili- tary operations and to restore peace in Morocco? Right from the first ‘commencement of the occupation of Morocco the socthlist party pointed out the danger. “Who is responsible for the present conflict? We have been attacked (just fancy, France has been atacked!) but who has provoked this attack? My criticism does not give you the right to believe that we are defeatists. The socialist party does not by any means demand the avacuation of Morocco (1!) but it will not agree to a war for the sake of fame, a war in which the flower of the manhood of France would perish.” Socialists Support Employers. Renaudel asks; what is the number of the French troops in Morocco and what losses has France suffered there, He states that the hospitals of Casab- blanca wa overcrowded with wounded | 2 i Pra os Plot. New the. and that there. will soon be no place for further wounded. Renaudel fur- ther states that he is pleased to hear the declaration of Painleve, that as s00n as the French have won back their former positions they will cease military operations. Finally, he has found the most important argument against the war: “It is a question of the interests of France. Now, when in France there is a shortage of work- ers, we shall not agree to fresh vic- tims in Morocco,” Jouhaux Fights Internationalism. If there were no lack of workers, then the evil would only be half so great, then the hospitals could be filled with fresh wounded. But as (just think) there exists no unemploy- ment in France, but om the contrary a lack of workers, the representatives of the Freneh fmiensheviki will not agree to permit fresh victims. That is the attitude of the representative of| the French “socialist” party. Is this | fellow not a traitor, a social chauvin-| my. No legs interesting is the attitude of Jouhaux, Jouhaux is the president of the French menshevist trade unions, “even tho he calls himself a syndical- ist. The syndicalists at one time con- stituted a léft wing element, but since the beginning of the war of 1914 they have, just as the mensheviki, gone right over to the side of the bour- geoisie, Be {dre all Jouhaux is over- flowing with 'triticism. Against whom, do you think? The imperialists? Oh no. The Communists! “The so-call- ed internatidnalism of the leaders of Third International is, in fact, only an appeal to| the narrowest nationalism, | ~{ se The workers do not support it, in the! same way as they are not minded to follow those who wish to extend an adventure and* those who dream of fresh conquests. The workers of our country pronounce themselves against any extension of military operations which would have as their aim, to penetrate to the Spanish zone.” (I.e Peuple of May 23, 19235.) As you know, a struggle is proceed- ing in Morocco between the Riff peo- ple on the one side, the Spanish bour- geoisie on the other side ahd the French bourgeoisie on the third side. When the war between the Riff Kaby- les and the Spaniards had comé to complete standstill, the representa- tive of the left bloc, Malvy, a member of parliament, who had been sent to Spain, endéavored to kindle the war afresh. Repeat Betrayal of 1914. Now, when a bold word requires to be spoken against the capitalist plun- derers who have attacked a small peo- ple and who are prepared to kindle a new European war for the sake of their predatory interests, the so-called representatives of the proletariat, the French mensheviki, attack the Third International and issue the slogan: “We don’t want any extension of military operations which would have as their aim to penetrate to the Span- ish Zone.” Ten years have passed since the out- break of the first world war. In this war the imperialists sacrificed ten mil- lion human lives. One of the great- est sufferers was France, where today there is hardly a village which has been able to maintain anything ap- proaching an appropriate proportion a> PD tee ee 4 } between the number of the male female population. As a result of t fitst imperialist war, the French vil. lage has been devastated and destroy- ed. And now, at the very first at- tempt of the capitalists to inaugurate fresh slaughter, these mensheviki lit- erally repeat what they said in the year 1914. You have here a sample of what the Second International would ‘to tomorrow if a new war were to break out. From this example it Is quite clear that the: bourgeoisie and the social democracy now represent ohe camp as regards main questions, and that one cannot vanquish the bourgeoisie without having to defeat the treacherous leaders of Second In- ternational. New Liebknechts Arise. But the Morocco war has served at the same time as a certain testing of those new forces which have grown up in the past few years. When the war of 1914 broke out, in France, in jthe first period, there was hardly a single man who ventured to oppose it. The first protests in France against the war were made in the year 1915. And then people came forward with a confused and vague program. In Germany at that time Liebknecht stood alone in his opposition to the’ war. The events in France have shown that should the bourgeoisi« now attempt to resort to a fresh war, We would not see one but thousands and thousands of Liebknechts in all the prominent countries of Europe. (Applause.) I am happy to be able to say that the Communist Party of France, a party which has grown &trong in the last few years, has in this matter ~ Set a ee _ ar with Aid of Socialists proved itself a party worthy of the Communist International. There have: been found people in this party who succeeded in the French parliament in flinging a pro- test, full of contempt and indignation, in the face of the bourgeoisie, as weli as of their lackeys in the menshevist camp. Wspecially worthy of note is the fact that, im the name of the Com- munist Party, a young comrade came forward, who only recently emerged trom‘ the ranks of the Young Com- munist League, a typical representa- tive of the new generation of revolu- tionary leaders, Comrade Doriot, (ap- plause) who delivered a_ splendid speech in parliament. After the speech of Comrade Doriot, the Cen- tral organ of the Communist Party of Germany quite rightly published an article under the title: “Liebknecht lives;” yes, he lives im the new gen- eration of workers! Greetings to Red Prisoners. The attitude of Comrade Doriot is, 80 to speah, a small example of how the new forces which are ripening among the working masses would speak and.agt if events should develop and the bourgeoisie decide to kindle a new imperialist war on a large cale. French democracy, supported by the mensheviki, has carried out iundreds of arrests thruout the whole . country. Communist workers who post up bills and lefiets against the war are being arrested, fresh proceed- ings are being brot against them. It Would be a good thing if we Were to send from this meeting brotherly greetings to all who have been arrest ed on account of the fight against war, Caennane ) — — —

we tN EA IIE I BER. > “ D 4 | a to ai Rs RGR Baio Demand No 1 Troops Be Used Against Strike By JAMES H. DOLSEN, (Worker Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.— That even the most conservative workers will rally to the aid of their oppressed brothers and sisters in other nations when the situation is explained to them seems evident in the cesponse already received by the unionist guild of this city from the appeal sent by it to the trade unions of this state for a protest against the action of our government in its intervention § in China. The appeal was reprinted in the July 1 issue of the Worker. Even prior to the circulation of this appeal by the guild, which is a Chin- ese working class organization, a reso- lution demanding the withdrawal of American troops had been introduced into the local labor council by dele- gates from the Waiters’ Union. The resolution was promptly referred to the council’s law and legislative com- mittee, the burial ground for most progressive measures. A Surprise. To everyone’s surprise, the commit- tee, however, reported out at the next week’s session a substitute resolution, which, while toning down all direct criticism of the government (how the labor skates love their “dear” Uncle Sam!), nevertheless did call for a policy of non-interference in China. It is rumored that an editorial on the situation in the Orient, appearing in the Labor Clarion, the organ of the local council, was directly filched by its editor from the New York Na- tion and pubjished by him as his own. To prevent the exposure of his plagi- arism on the floor of the central labor body, the editor, according to this ac- count, agreed not to oppose a resolu- tion on the subject. Other Bodies Follow Council. It has thus come about that the San/ Francisco Labor Council, reactionary as it is, has thus taken the lead on this particular issue. Almost equally surprising has been the fact that shortly afterwards the Building Trades Council of this city went on record in support of the resolution sent it by the unionist guild. 5 Thig resolution was couched in much |§ ? adopted also by the following local unions todate: Painters No. 19 and ‘No, 1158; Tailors No. 80, Cooks No. 44, Amalgamated Clothing Workers No. 266, Lithographers No. 17, Bar- bers No. 148, Capmakers No. 9, Ma- chinists No. 48, Cigarmakers No. 228, Shipyard Laborers No. 520, Carpen- ters No. 483, Dredgemakers No. 898, Molders No. 164, Millmens No, 42, and Retail Clerks No. 47. County Labor Council passed the resolution unanimously. The rest of the unions of the state are being cir- cularized and it is expected an over- whelming majority will place them- selves definitely on record. The hole agitation affords a most excelient medns of awakening the in- ternational consciousness of the American working class and arousing! its militant spirit. It should, however, unions that they should seek not merely to place their union on record against our interference in China but should take the opportunity of ex- plaining the class basis of the strug- gle there, using all such ossasions to intensify the class consciuosness of the members. ¢7~ Unorganized cabie of San Pedro Hurt LOS ANGELES, July 15—Tuna can- ning operations are increasing at San Pedro and Long Beach and trouble be- tween the packers and fishermen is brewing.

The writer, Willi Muenzenberg, has had a broader experiéfice in this new field of activity than any other man in the international movement, and his deep basis in other branches of Communist work—youth, politics, relief, wap ha against nt nar- row conception of the work. * * — film is a new power which in some countries has already achie- ve@ greater significance than the press itself. The medium of the visual image influences its patrons far more strongly and persuasively than does the printed word its readers, and even numerically those reached by the cinema bid fair to putstrip those who read the daily papers. As was the case with many other weapons of struggle, the workers were the last to take up the film and seek to put the new medium to their own use. It is not so long ago that social- democratic leaders, in common with other bourgeois ideologists, opposed the films on the ground of their com- petition with the stage, their flatter- ing of “public taste” and destruction of Hterary standards. Only after the war were timid and ineffectual at- tempts made ot put the film to labor’s use. In 1922 the A. D. G. B. (all Ger- man Federation of Tradé Unions) tried without much success to produce and show socialistic working class pictures. In the main the labor organ- izations, and even the Communist parties: and organizations have left this most effective means of propa- ganda and agitation unopposedly in the hands of their enemy, which fully exploited them with nationalist and monarchist propaganda. HE German film industry reflects clearly the general political trend. During the mounting wave of the mo- narchist movement which culminted openly in the election of Hindenburg there was a deluge of monarchist and nationalist films. It would be interesting to determ- ine, statisticaily, in how many thea- ters, during the few weeks. prior to the presidential bye-election, such pro- paganda films were shown. The film is extensively used by our enemy to create prejudice against Soviet Rus- sia, as for example the picture “Tode- sreigen,” which shamelessly concots a wholely fanciful and invented tale of atrocities of the Soviet government against the Russian workers.’ This was shown for months and spread its on everywhere. In some indus- notably in/Leipsig, the centers, in the. me 80 ob | eT phew entirely wnder- standable, is ineffective. It recalls the infancy of capitalism when the arti- sans, feeling their livelihood threaten- ed by the new machines, destroyed them. Not machine breaking, but ma- chine conquest and turning to the ser- vice of the labor movement, is needed. | One of the most important tasks con- fronting Communist parties on the field of agitation and propoganda is the conquest of this supremely effect- ive propaganda weapon, until now the monopoly of the ruling class, we must phen it from them and turn it against them Picture and Film in the Revolutionary Movement The printed and spoken word are well known in our propaganda arse- nal. But not so long ago the use of the picture was utterly unknown in daily, youth paper, woman’s paper, book, phamphlet or anywhere. Fortu- nately this has been improved during ' °* °e the past two years, altho still * limit- ed extent. In Germany alone our quanst con- trols hundreds of illustrated papers, in. Berlin we see daily numerous, papers with special pictorial supplements. The picture is most tellingly effective in reaching the mind of the VW the. youth, the great mass of rent workers and peasants—the very éle- ment we must win. Right in the fac- tory the illustrated paper is far easier to sell to the indifferent worker. By méans of post cards, photo-collections, and similar means also the picture should be used to popularize the lead- ing figures in the labor world as against the hero worship of the bour-. geois military idols. Lantern slides also make possible the presentation of our message in most plastic and convincing form. While a start, altho a - pikaabad one, has been made on all the forgoing fields, practically nothing has been done to put the film into our afserial of agitation and propaganda weapons. Very correctly the enlarged executive of the Communist Internatienal, in March, 1925, called attention to this shortcoming, and instructed all affi- liated to concern thémselvés much more than formefly in turning this weapon to their service. It is well known that Lenin held that “...of all the arts the motion picture is for us the most important.” And that Zino- viev said: “The motion picture in the hands of the bourgeoisie is ‘their strongest means for fooling and mis- leading the masses. In our hands it can and must become a mighty wea- pon of Communist erties; aye and mass ‘enlightenment.” - Of the great masses that day in and day out fill the picture. theaters, olgh- ty to ninety per cent worke make available the film\as a m ns Ot winning their support for us is one of the most pressing tasks of our move- ment. We can expése the social-de- mocratic traitors, we can gibbet the militarists. And, speaking positively, | we Can present the aims and struggles of. the "eaonas moma pai tert and the ® youns | 4 tm showing he ite school, coming into contact with ihe Communist Youth movement, finding in it a champion and joining its ranks aaa ‘its activity—such a film would exert great suggestive power on thou- sands of juveniles and bring them closer to our movement. Similarly the experience of an adult worker, going from country to country and finding everywhere the same exploitation of capitalism in a thousand forms} show- ing the international scope of the class struggle and the need of the fighting organization of the workers, the Communist International. Of course we realize that colossal censorship and economic difficulties stand in the way. But much ground would be gained if every Commuhist Party were now equipped to show the workers of its country a monthly news film of the latest occurrences in Soviet Russia. There must no longe be any country in which the Co munists do not make extensive pro gandist use of the motion picture.

But while the capitalists offer as a solution for what ails ‘China long hours, short pay and poison gas; Kirkpatrick flies to Margaret Sanger and holds up a certain article made from rubber Kirkpatrick says that the'trouble with China is too many Chinese, © This is typical of the socialist way of looking at things. Instead} of blaming the imperialist robbers for the dreadfull poverty of the Chinese masses, they grope around for some scintilla of evidence to] prove that the Chinese themselves are to blame. .So the tendency of the Chinese to beget children is the reason why: American, British, | Japanese and British capitalists are now maidtsie: them down on their own streets! Kirkpatrick evidently read in the DAILY WORKER that the Wall Street government went to the expense of sending battleships to settle the Chinese question. He therefore admonishes our rulers for their extravagance and makes the following suggestion: “The cost of one big battleship would be sufficient to provide every woman in China with one piece priceless information—information used | by the wives of all bankers, bishops, senators, judges, governors and cabinet secretaries in the United States—information on voluntary parenthood; that is a harmless, painless method for preventing con- ception. Why hesitate—to save China?” The old Malthusian fallacy has been exploded: time and time again. The earth.is not overpopulated. The cause of poverty is not too many people, but the unequal distribution of wealth. This con- dition will only be eliminated when capitalism is eliminated. There is enough wealth in China to take care of its teeming population many times over. But the Chinese have not access to this wealth. They are not entitled to it according to the laws of capitglism. What the Chinese must do, and what all the exploited people of the world must do, is to abolish the robber system of capitalism. Then they can begin the task of disseminating knowledge that willl | enable them to regulate their lives in accordance with their own in- terests and those of society as a whole. What the Chinese need now- adays more than knowledge about contraceptives is knowledge of} There are not too many Chinese in China; but there are too many imperialists there. The Real General Feng. The outstanding military figure in the Chinese movement for the liberation is General Feng-Yu-Hsiang, also called the “christian general.” Feng was once a supporter of Britain and when Wu-Pei- Fu started out on the campaign that ended in his eclipse, Feng was one of his leading generals. In those days, the “christian general” was pictaged to the readers of the American and British capitalist papers in glowing colors. He was a nice man, humane and democratic. But Feng ceased :to be the tool of British imperialism. He quit Wu-Pei-Fu, seized Peking and that was the political end of Fu. Suddenly Feng lost ‘all virtue in the eyes of British and American capitalist editors. His chrjstianity shloughed off him like a rubber coat and the public has been given the impression that the once humane and democratic Chinese general had changed to a man-eating tiger, who went around hunting nice fat bodies on which to perform carving tricks with his sword. About the only coherent speech Feng could make according to his capitalist traducers, was one clamoring for gore and plenty of it. He was represented to be as bloodthirsty as the god of William Jen- nings Bryan. He had no program except an insatiable desire for un-; limited and unceasing. slaughter. In view of this campaign of cal- umny, the DAILY WORKER is pleased to feature on another page an artcile cabled -by.General Feng to the Workers Weekly of Great Britain, the official organ of the Communist Party of that country. ‘The article, which our readers are urged to study, is a calm, reasoned document, setting forth the facts that led up to the recent crisis. in China, the bloody deeds of British imperialism and the determination of the Chinese people to free themselves from the blighting and brutal yoke of all foreign imperialism. This article gives us a clear picture of the real General Feng and not the cari- cature that the paid liars of capitalism drew to.fool the masses.
