Wednesday, September 24, 1924 BRITISH PLOT AGAINST RUSS, SAYS KAMENEY Soviet Leader Assails English Government (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Sept. 23.—L. B. | Kamenev, Governor of Moscow, and one of the leading figures in the Communist government, de- livered a scathing indictment of the British government in a , speech before a gathering of the \ Young Communist League of | Russia. ’ Kamenev charged the British diplomats; and the permanent officials in the London foreign office with having organized re- bellious movements against the Soviet government with a view to discrediting the Anglo-Rus- sian treaty signed by Ramsay MacDonald in behalf of the Brit- | ish government. Kameney does not accuse MacDonald of participating in the anti-Soviet conspiracy, tho | MacDonald’s alleged love for “Georgian independence” before he became premier leads one to the conclusion that the recent disturbances were not entirely a surprise to him. Kameney declared that the experts’ reparation plan was a cruel Ameri- can business device to reduce Ger- many to the status of a colony. The following is an excerpt from Kamenev’s speech: “The day after the signing of the Russo-British agreement,” said Kamenev, “ British diplomacy, which is not in the hands of prime minister MacDonald, began to move on all frontiers. All the conservative diplomats who have re- mained in office since the days of Curzon began to work hard to sow rebellions seed in the Soviet Republic in order to create delay in the ratifi- cation of the agreement. . Everywhere we noticed the work of the British diplomats. In Afghanistan there is a movement against our friend, the amir. In Persia small — national groups, bought by the gold of British agents, are begining to rebel. In Turkey the Kurds are beginning to agitate. British Support Soviet Foes, “Everywhere the British support wandering peoples against the liberal governments of the east that are working for the freedom of the east. Intervention in China has been pre- pared for a long time ago and is be- ginning now because the adoption of the experts’ reparations plan by Eu- rope has set the hands of Great Britain’s diploniats free to work on other fronts and because the recogni- tion of Chinese rights by our repre- sentative in Peking aroused the, Chi- nese people against old-world, imper- ialism. “We notice the activity of British diplomats not only outside but inside of Russia. We are quite sure that all the adventures, of the Georgian mansheviki have only one object, and that is to make enough noise and scandal to demonstrate that Soviet Russia is unquiet. “We ought to have no delusion that this agitation will end here. We have other frontiers. Petlura and Balato- vich may start again,” Tchitcherin Flays League. Moscow, Sept. 23.—George Tchitch- erin, foreign minister of Soyiet Rus- sia, in a public statement fay flatly charges the league of nations with complicity in the recent disturbances in Georgia. He dubbed the league “the beloved child of the entente powers,” and with being a weapon of , the capitalistic powers for their war on Soviet Russia. “It'is a bogus league,” declared comrade Tchitcherin,” and lacks real power but is able to make real noise. That iy the reason for its existence. The revolt in Georgia is bogus. It was pre-arranged by the bourgeois governments. ’ j “Why does not the league of na- ‘tions deal With the revolts in India, Syria, the Sudan and China, where heroic oppressed peoples have started revolts which are not bogus?” ~Y New War Activity On Spain.

The capitalist papers will deny with flourishes that the law makes exception in favor of rich or poor or any religious denomi- nation.

Is the Tribune concerned over the welfare of the Chinese work- ers? Not on your red necktie. What worries the World’s Greatest Liar is that Japan is very likely backing up the Manchurian war lord in his march on Pekin. The Tribune comes out for the government ownership of one industry—the war business. It be- lieves this innovation should be in- troduced in China, The United States having more money than any other nation would be in a stronger position with a government in need of ready cash, than its competitors. Now that Japan is backing Chang, who is a provinical tuchun, and the United Sfates is backing Wu Pei Fu, commander of the armies supporting the central government, the Tribune finds it easy to support a “centralized government” in China. But it must be a government after the heart of the American plunderbund, se @ ‘HERE is a new crisis in the Irish cabinet.

At that time the Peking government made protest to the French govern- ment, claiming that the sale of French planes infringes on the arms embargo. This latter view, it was stated in Peking, is held by the Unit- ed States government’ ee Sun Attacks Britain. (From Our Own Correspondent.) MOSCOW. — (By Mail.)— I have been able to obtain one of the first copies that has left China of the ve- hement manifesto issued by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the enlightened President of the South China Republic, against what he calls the “British gunboat di- plomacy” in Canton. Dr. Sun says:— “From the moment when Chen Lim Pak, in complicity with the Hong- Kong and Shanghai Bank, began a rebellion against my government, I had reason to suspect that the move- ment was supported by British Im- perialism. “I was reluctant to believe this in view of the British Labor Party's pro- fessions of sympathy for exploited peoples. I was hopeful that the La- bor government would replace the old gunboat policy, which had hitherto heaped disaster and humiliation on China, by an era of international honesty. The Consul's Letter. “We now know the truth. On Au- gust 29 the British Consul-General ad- dressed a dispatch to my government stating that the consular body ‘pro- tested against the barbarity of firing upon a defenseless city,’ concluding with a menacing note declaring, ‘I have now receiyed a message from the senior British naval officer stat- ing that he has received orders from the Commodore in Hong-Kong that, should the Chinese authorities fire up- on the city, immediate action should be taken against them by all British naval forces available.’ “My government repudiates the sug- gestion that it could be guilty of the barbarity of firing upon a defenseless city, since the only section of Canton against which the government could be compelled to take action is the suburb of Siakwan, which is the armed stronghold of the Chen Lim Pak rebels. “But this infamous suggestion, ema- nating from a body which includes the authors of Singapore, ‘of the massacre of Amritsar, of the atrocities in Egypt and Ireland, is typical of imperial hypocrisy. In my country it is only necessary to refer to the latest Brit- ish outrage at Wangsien, where the bombardment of a defenseless city by British naval forces was avoidable only by the sacrifice of two of my countrymen, who were summarily de- capitated without any trial in order to satisfy imperial frightfulness.

MacGregor’s estimate takes | no account of the hundreds of thousands which will be poured out by organized business thru such camouflaged politica? organ- of economics and the National Tax Payers’ union. ‘ Preparing Budgets. According to MacGregor, now being prepared by the different campaign committees indicate an ex- penditure of approximatly $10,000,000 in the current presidential contest. The sum is large but the ramifications of a national campaign are great. The cost of campaigning is as high today as at any time in history. “In 1916 the republicans spent ap- proximately $2,500,000, and the demo- erats not quite $10,000,000, but money went further then than it does today. In 1920, the actual outlay of the re- publican national committee, as re- ported to the senate, was $5,319, 729.32 while the democratic commit- tee spent $1,818,274.02. The 1920 campaign with state expenditures fig- ured in cost $10,338,509.” MacGregor says the republicans this year will probably be far better financed than either the democrats or the progressives and he suggests $3,000,000 as the probable total of the republican national committee fund with the democrats lucky if they get $2,000,000 and the LaFolette fund un- likely to exceed $1,000,000.

The Bakersfield Echo, which ci culates thruout the Doheny kingdom; of Kern county, hailed this pledge of) oil-pumping, on the part of Coolidge’s! naval secretary, as a most reassuring| utterance. It spoke of the “threaten-! ed” leases of Doheny and Standard) Oil in the Calffornia fields, as though Wilbur had brashed aside the action of congress and the suits brought” te the federal courts by the federal gov- ernment to cancel these leases and’ punish the crime which brought about! their signing.
