A. Adamski of the Garment Workers of America, a dumbbell servant of Gompers who has never opened his mouth in conventions for ten years, and Hdward J. Evans of the Blectrical Workers, were chosen without opposi- tion as delegates to the unions of Great Britain. Chas, H. Moyer of the Mine, Mill and Smeltermen, was chosen delegate to Canada, Favor the League of Nations. Matthew Woll, reporting for the committee handling the resolution proposed by Andy Furuseth of the Seamen against the United States joining the world court or the league of nations, said that he had no in- formation that the league of nations aspires to form a “super government” as claimed in the resolution. He would agree to protest any invasion of sea- men’s “rights” or the “freedom” of liberty-loving citizens—and he moved to refer the whole matter to the ex- ecutive council. Furuseth agreed, in hope that “something might be done.” Upon the subject of Pan-American relations, Woll said that a “special effort to help this exploited people” had been made by “guiding them in the proper direction as expounded by the A. F, of L. doctrines, which by word and deed resulted in forming a democratic government.” Assaults Mexican Communist Party. “Our work is showing results in the Mexican federation representatives picturing in glowing (not red) and (By Rosta News Agency.) MOSCOW, Nov. 28,—What- ever the future course of events in China, one thing is certain, and that is the fact that the northern government of China, in which the imperialists seek their support, is being seriously shaken, in spite of diplomatic and material assistance ren- dered by the British, the Amer- ican and other governments to Wu Pei-fu, according to a state- ment made to the Soviet press representatives by Mr. Lam Wai- mang, general secretary of the Chinese Sailors’ Union, who represented the union at the re- cent international congress of sailors at Hamburg, Germany, and, on his way back home thru Russia, is staying a few days in Leningrad and Moscow. Studies Russlan Conditions. In the Union of Soviet Republics the Chinese leader is studying the con- ditions of Russian transport workers. Of.course, says Mr. Lam Wai-mang, the Pekin government has many gen- erals to fight against. But its chief and most dangerous enemies are the Chinese laborers, who are following the Koumingtang party, which leads them against imperialism. This party a great influence over the and the toiling population of China is on the side of Dr Sun Yat Sen, the leader of the Koumingtang. The anti-imperialistic movement is rapidly growing in China, and a spe- 4 cial antiimperialistic society, organ- ized for this object, is popular not only in the south, but also in the North China. Indeed, no one in China has any faith in the diplomatic notes of bour- geois governments, as everyone knows by now that these notes con- ceal a predatory desire to seize the best parts of the country, enslave its Population and force it to serve the } selfish ends of the bourgeoisie. | The news of the “Hands Off China” } society, organized in the Union of NEW LEADER IS GRAVEYARD FOR Goes to Sleep (Special to The Dally Worker) Pennsylvania Socialist, publish to break the animal's back. scription list and several bills.

Wall Street’s Two tend still more to. strengthen the bonds between the toilers of both countries. In conclusion, Mr. Lam Wai-mang pointed out that the conclusion of the Soviet-Chinese treaty should be con- sidered as the main impulse for the energetic, intervention of bourgeois states into Chinese affairs. Indeed, this treaty showed to the Chinese peo- ple for the first time that another Power spoke with China on equal terms. No wonder then that the toil- ing people of China demanded a re- vision of mutual relations with other states, so as to do away with the age-old oppression of the Chinese people. No Return to the Past. The imperialists, too, are well aware that the Soviet-Chinese Treaty has opened the eyes of the masses on the true situation. This is why the last efforts are being made to have regenerating China stifled by internal counter-revolution. However, there is no return to the past; the Chinese people know who are its friends and who are fts ene- mies, and it will let its wrath and hatred fall on the heads /of those who are attempting to suppress its nation- al freedom. porting upon the situation in Porto Rico, quoted from the message of Iglesias upon the Porto Rican elec- tion of November 4, held under the laws and flag of America. “Democracy” Shocks Ryai The old political parties controlling the economic forces of the island used violence and corruption, employ- ing the insular police, the department of justice and the voting of paid agents. The islanders were deprived of franchise, annulling legal ballots, Proof of which will be presented to congress, Ryan “is shocked” that such an elec- tion could take place “under the Amer- ican flag; that the American prin- ciple of universal suffrage could be so degraded.” I thought for a moment that he was talking about the recent election in Chicago. The recommenda- tions were that the federation sus- pend its endorsement of legislation granting more self government, until congress investigate and grant honest free suffrage, that Gompers aid petition for an investigation and that copies of statement be sent to the United States government officials and to congress. Ryan’s com- mittee was “indignant” that people should be “ruthlessly exploited by a privileged few under the glorious stars and stripes in the same way they were when under Spain.” Nigaragua Gets “Moral Support,” In the report from Nicaragua, sim- ilar conditions were depicted.

Wi ated Press Staff Correspondent ASHINGTON, | Nov. Discovery in Berlin of a whole- sale forgery mill, specializing in fake Zinoviey and Third Inter- national documents, has led the Washington Post, edited by Col. George Harvey, to twit secre- tary Hughes with the possibility that his alleged Zinoviev letter to Amerioan Communists, urg- ing them to atl the red flag on the White House,” was con- cocted by the Berlin forgers. The Post reminds its con- servative readers that Senator Borah ressed doubts as to the genuineness of this docu- ment when Secretary Hughes made it public, last winter, as evidence that Moscow was ac- tively plotting a violent revolu- tion in the United States . Charlie Keeps His Fiag. This rude conduct on the part of Harvey’s paper is most annoying to the state department pashas. They cannot honestly suppress the thot that Harvey wants to be secretary of state, and that his editorial mask is now be- ing employed in the process of shov- ing Hughes out of the nest. They see that Harvey seems to have developed an alarming degree of sympathy with the viewpoint of Sen, Borah, who will be chairman of the foreign relations committee next month—that foreign relations are not the private affair of Hughes, but are public matters that require a great deal of open discussion and disclos- ure of sources of evidence. Hughes sits down and says his Zinoviev red flag document is genuine, and he won't tell how he knows. That's be- tween him and his spy service. Just now Hughes is up to the ears in a new attempt to swim across the Chinese quagmire. Some weeks ago the French government invited the British, Italian, Japanese and Ameri- can governments-to join it in a con- fab in Pekin, where the foreign di- plomats meet every week anyhow to discuss the pulse of the patient. This time, they, wonld.discuss the entire ion in. China, trying to deter- mine which of the warring and par- leying factions had the best chance of establishing itself as a permanent government. Of course, the bankers in Wall Street could not loan any more money to China until there ex- isted a government sufficiently strong to be recognized and held to respon- sibility for payment of its financial obligations. Discussing the situation and trying to make a safe bet on a winner, who would have the sup- port of foreign influence and foreign money, is as far as the conference seems to have gotten. Sun Burns Charlie's Fingers. China has been a bit trying to Sec- retary Hughes, anyhow. At first he put thru the Washington Far Eastern conference of imperial powers a num- ber of resolutions instructing the Pe- kin government as to what it was to do. He refused to pay any heed to warnings that the South China gov- ernment of Sun Yat Sen must be con- sulted. Japan vouched for the peace- ful disposition of Chang Tso Lin, rul- er of Manchuria. And then Chang and Sun began to undermine the Pekin regime. Fighting has been almost continuous, in one region or another, until now Chang and Sun are in con- ference at Tientsin with other lead- ers, to determine what regime shall be set up in place of the one which was recognized and which has filed. Wu Pei Fu, latest ruler at Pekin, has set up his flag in central China, at Wuchang, where Sun started the original revolution against the Manchu monarchy. i Foreign backing has been a handi- cap to Chinese leaders in the past three years. And at each step to- ward dissolution of the old order, the influence of the Soviet Union has increased. Red flags are flying over many Russian consulates thruout China, and at each of these points the Soviet propaganda of self-determina- tion for Asiatic peoples is active. Hughes doesn’t like the drift of China. In a few years she may sweep all for- eign concessions away, and assert her independence as effectively as has Turkey. Hence the conference in Pekin.

The basis of this treaty, which wil) give Japan a favored position in Mex: {co 2s compared with other nations, was Jeid a year and a half ago when Japan notified Mexico, still in the midst of revolutinoary struggle, that Japan would not ask Mexico to pay for damages suffered by her nationals incidental to the revolutionary civil war within Mexico. Japan renounced this indemnity at that time, when the United States rep- resentatives were continually calling upon the Mexican government in a threatening way, demanding full and punitive damages.

Miner Dies in Jail Doing Time Because Friend Did Not Pay (Special to The Daily Worker) | PORTAGH, Pa., Nov. 28.—A. Sape- ta, a coal miner, died here yesterday | from tuberculosis, contracted at the county jail. Sapeta was put into jail because he was not only unfortunate | enough to be a wage slavo himself, but also had friends who are wage slaves. A friend of Sapeta’s, a miner, had married. He needed furniture for his | home. But he had only his weekly wages which were just enough to live on. So he had to get his furniture | on the installment plan. His friend Sapeta was his reference. Then the friend lost his job, could not obtain work for months and had to leave the city. The furniture was not paid for. The company took the case inte court. Sapeta, the miner, himself with on- ly a half time job, was sertenced to pay for the furniture, costs and six months in jail.
