' dl} — Thursday, October 2, 1924 THE DAILY WORKER Page Five n SAM SCARLETT WINS FIGHT ON DEPORTATION Canadian Government Cancels Writ By SYDNEY WARREN. (Federated Press Staff Correspondent.) VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 1.—The Canadian government has ordered that the deportation writ issued by the Immigration department against Sam Scarlett, I. W. W. organizer, be can- celled. This action followed a vigor- ous campaign against the deportation order which was waged not only by radicals of Vancouver, but by all the elements. of the labor movement. It had its culmination in a big’ mass meeting here when representatives from all labor groups voiced their pro- test against the immigration depart- ment edict. So flagrant was ‘the unfairness of the order that one of the capitalist dailies carried a front-page editorial denouncing the immigration officials. Scarlett was arrested and ordered deported from Canada on three ob- solete provisions of the war hysteria immigration act and even on these charges there was not a semblance of fact to warrant the order. He was tried secretly by the immigration au- thorities and altho all the evidence submitted indicated that he had com- mitted no offense that would serve as a pretext for deportation, he was or- dered to leave the country. This judgment, it was shown, was already prepared before the trial was held, California Fight for Free Speech Scores Big Victory (Special to the DAILY WORKER) SACREMENTO, Cal. Oct. 1—A red letter day in the California fight against criminal marked when the cases were dismiss- ed in Sacremento against William Flanagan and Albert Strangeland, who have already served a year in San Quentin and Folsom prisons. The reversal by the appellate court means more than appears on the sur: face, for it was a Sacremento case and except for Sam Pedro there has been more intensive prosecution of the criminal syndicalism law here than anywhere else. The court con- firmed the convictions of Homer Stewart and Peter Wukusich, thereby adding force to the claim of criminal syndicalism victims that the court's decisions are purely arbitrary. Every criminal syndicalism convic- tion in the state has been based on mere membership in the’ I. W, W. without proof of any overt act and either all should be dismissed or all confirmed. E,W.

Let no one put much stock in the numerous lengthy columns of ful- minations now appearing in our em- ploying class press against the war- like attitude supposedly shown by the Japanese representatives in the League of Nations. The Japanese delegates are now proposing two amendments to the latest “peace” protocol under con- sideration. These amendments are: To strike out the provision that the country which refuses an arbitral reward of the world court shall be deemed an aggressor; and the pro- hibition of taking before the League of, Nations an issue which the world court has ruled involves primarily a dispute of domestic con- cern. ; It is patent to all that the issue involved here is the opposition of the Japanese to the immigration restriction enacted by the sion of congress. Japan is th ing to vote against the entire pact unless she meets with satisfaction on these two points. The British imperialists, above all others, are especially anxious to avoid such ac- tion by the Nipponese imperialists. Great Britain’s ruling class has all to lose and nothing to gain by such a mortal blow being struck at the fiction of the League of Nation’s entity and existence, The situation is somewhat akin to the days of the Versailles nego- tlations. Then Japan was standing pat on the annexation of Shantung. Woodrow Wilson, in the name of the Yankee aristocracy of gold and | finance, had assured the Chinese that the United States would stand up for the restoration of this ter- ritory once held by the German capi- talists. It was this promise that precipitated China’s entry into the world war. At Paris, however, Wil- son sold out China and yielded to Japan's claims to Shantung. He did this in order to save the League of Nations, he said. Since then times have changed. American foreign policy is different. The supremacy of the United States in the reaim of finance and industry is far more ured. Under these conditions there is very little Iikeli- hood of Japan’s being able to swing American influence on the pain of bresking up the league. The Dawes plan is the American guarantee and hope today. The Japanese im- perialists know this. Their threats are made with an eye to the future, rather than as an immediate chal- le to America. But for the nese and American workers it is high time to be aware.
