to: Rees 1 bt BORAH WORRIE FOR IMPERIALISM INTHE ORIENT Senator in Attempt to Bring Peace in China “By LAWRENCE TODD. (Federated Press.) WASHINGTON— (FP) — Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee has made a preliminary @esture toward a serious attempt to bring peace in China before some out- break of anti-foreign fury shall be provoked, Ho believes that if the Washington government will lead the way, and the British, Japanese and other govern- ments will follow without loss of time, the Chinese people will settle down to a pacific negotiation and ad- Justment of their quarrels with for- elgners, Certain Americans in China—whe- ther commercial or missionary he does not disclose—cabled Borah, urging that there is immediate need of send- ing American forces to protect Ameri- can interests in that country. Respect Chinese Integrity. “IT see no reason,” Borah cabled back, “why the United States should be drawn into any controversy or con- fiict with Chinese authorities or the Chinese people. Doubtless the situa- tion, as you say, is serious, but not serious by reason of aly acts or pol- icles of the United States, and it is not to be presumed that we will be drawn into controversies of other powers. “I venture to believe the American people as a whole would like to see the national rights and interests of China fully respected. Personally, I would favor the withdrawal of extra- territorial rights in China as speedily as practicable, and a policy adopted by all which would respect the terri- torial integrity and national rights of a great people.” State Department Gets the News. ‘When Borah sent this message back to the American group in China, the state department was receiving news of increasing bitterness in the anti- foreign demonstrations in cities from Canton to Peking. Triumph of the working class sol- diers of Canton against the Yunnan- ese troops that had betrayed the gov- ernment of Dr. Sun Yat Sen at the instance of the late fascist or “tiger” middle-class element, had stirred the masses in a great part of southern China. These Cantonese had adopted reso- lutions, some months ago, declaring for a sympathetic understanding with the Soviet Union. They have been sharply hostile to foreign imperialism in China. Outside their ranks are tens of millions of Chinese who know only that Chinese students have been shot down by British-led police, and they want revenge. Tries to Forget Mexico. In making this gesture toward a Peaceful settlement, Borah is taking a lesson from his disastrous experi- ence last week in endorsing the Kel- logg attack on the Calles’ government of Mexico, which was an exercise of dictation and insult quite in harmony with the misuse of extra-territorial power in China. Borah was used by Kellogg in a conference, from which he emerged before the real decisions were agreed upon, and he endorsed the statement for Kellogg without knowing that a Propaganda “background” statement had confidentially been made to the press beforehand. Now he asks jus- tice to China he denied to Mexico be- cause Kellogg was too adroit for him.

Out of these 800 members about 70 per cent are employed in different local union offices, liberal or radical magazines and newspapers and few charitable societies. Only 25 per cent and even less than that are employed in the “business” offices of New York. Altho the president of the union and the business representative tried, as they claim, their best to organize Broadway, they succeeded very little + because they took the wrong attitude. Queer Way to Organize They believe that only then can they organize any bank or office if the head of that concern will consent to it. It is of no use to try to organ- ize if the bosses oppdse! It is understood that no president of bank, no manager of an office will like to have the union rule him and none of them eyer agreed to have his office organized. Lately a small group of active work- ers namely Primoff, Chernow, and others decided to organize many of- fices and banks whether the heads of those concerns would like or not. The group became very active in the union. -An organizational committee was organized, which started to work energetically. The most active of them proved to be Primoff. Socialists Prevent Organization The socialists became afraid that Primoff might capture the union, be- cause the members supported him in his attempt to organize the workers. They tried to hamper his work, to dis- courage him, but all in vain. Then one of the “active” socialists brought up charges against Primoff that he is a member of the Workers Party of America and therefore should be expelled. from the Bookkeepers’ Union. The union is controlled by social- ists, well-known Communist haters and Primoff has very little chance to remain in the union. Comrade Bimba was expelled on similar charges last year. . But that will not help the socialists and bosses any. The Communists in the union and without, will keep on the organizational work of the union. KIN OF SLAIN GIRL TELLS OF KLUXER'S RAPE Battle to Secure Bail Continues NOBLESVILLE, Ind., June 19.—At the hearing on a motion to admit to bail D. C. Stephenson, Harl Klinck and Earl Gentry, charged with the murder of Madge Oberholtzer, addi- tional testimony was expected to be sought by the defense to prove its point that conviction is only a remote possibility and that the prisoners therefore should be released from jail on bond. The two days already consumed in the hearing have been crammed with verbal tilts between opposing counsel and another large crowd filled the courtroom when the proceedings were resumed this morning. Marshal Oberholtzer, brother of the dead girl was the final witness on the stand late yesterday and his story dealt with statements made, he said, by his sister while she lay on her death bed. The bail hearing of D. C. Stephen- son, Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry, all accused of murdering Madge Ober- holtzer, were closed this afternoon. Arguments on the motion to admit the trio to bail will be heard by Judge Fred Hines tomorrow following which a decision will be handed down by the court, Twenty-Eight Die in Tornado Which Sweeps Black Sea (Special to The Dally Worker) MOSCOW, June 19.—Twenty-eight persons were killed and hundreds in- jured in a tornado which wiped out two villages in the province of Altai, according to advices received here to- day. Shipping in the Black Sea also was harried by the storm, which swept from the Southern Siberian province along the coast. Snow covered Northern Russia for the first time in a century in June as an aftermath of the southern storm, Soviet Communai Kitchens MOSCOW, U. 8. S, R.—(By Mail)— The development of the communal kitchen institutions the special im- portance of which consi in the fact that they set working women free from household dudgery, is mak- ing great strides forward. Accrod- ing to statistics compiled by the Me- tal Workers’ Union, there are com- munal kitchens in factories in 13 dis- tricts where the number of workers is 195,000, In March 1925 there were 109 kitchens in the Ukraine which supplied over a million dinners, 10 per cent of Ukrainian workers get served by communal kitchens. By the autum 400 more kitchens for 800 to 360 thousands people are to be opened in the Soviet Union, the banks on Wall St., the offices on NEW YORK WORKERS CORRESPONDENCE GLASS MEETS SATURDAY NITE New York Worker correspondents will meet this Saturday evening, June 20, at seven o'clock, at 108 East 14th street, with Oliver Carl- son, director.

Fearing that the duke's addiction to certain forms of sexual perversion practiced with impunity by the Brit- ish aristocracy might be publicly aired to the scandal of the ruling class, the king and queen brought pressure to bear on the duke, with the result that the duke did not appear in court and the divorce was granted to his wife by default. It is known that the details of this case ‘would rival in sex interest that of the famous Hindu rajah, “Mr. A.,” and the Dennistoun scandal. «The aristocracy breathed a sigh of relief when the duke of Westminister took his medicine in secret for the good of his class. Milkman Beaten and Maimed in Trade War, Fingers Cut Off DETROIT, Jyne 19.—Two men who fractured the skull of Mario Corci, 48, milkman, and then cut a finger off each of his hands early today, are be- lieved by detectives to be participa- tors in a trade war and not bandits, as Corci described them to be. Corci had just returned to his wagon after delivering a bottle of milk when he was attacked by the men, who, after striking and maiming him, es- caped. Forty-six dollars and a small check was found in the milk man’s pockets at receiving hospital after he had lapsed into unconsciousne: Sees Fight for World Markets. NEW YORK—“Authorities agree that the world is on the eve of the most agressive struggle for world markets ever experienced,” says Lawrence W. Wallace, executive sec- retary American Engineering Council. Wallace directed Hoover’s Assay of Waste. “A new era is being entered upon which will require the re-formulation of major economic policies. No one can predict what those policies shall be. It is certain they will have to be evolved by expert and scientific study of conditions.” Police in Vain Search of Tunnel for Elusive Gunman Chicago’s “catacombs,” the 71 miles of freight tunnels under’ the business district, were searched in vain for the Genna gangster who attempted to shoot Sergeant Eldrige Curran in the county building offices of the state's attorney. : Policemen guarded every exit from the tunnels, where thruout the night more than 1650 officers had poked thru dark corners and labyrinthian twists and turns of the great system. That the search was fruitless led to the determination to continue it today. Police hoped that their quarry still was in the maze of underground pas- sageways. Word that the would-be assassin was in the tunnel was brought to po- lice by a laborer who said that he had been run out of the tunnel by an armed man whose description tallied with that of the city hall gunman, |BRITISH PLUTES USED) SHEFFIELD IN MEXICO CITY Country Is Aroused Against Foreigners MEXICO CITY, June 19.—Charges were made here that American Am- bassador Sheffiéld caused the antagon- ism of the Calles government to the Washington state department by his activity on behalf of the British capi- talists who have interests in Mexico. Former president of Mexico, Obre- gon, one of those who disapproves the return of Sheffield to Mexico, stat- ed “The Americans are apparently trying to pull the British chestnuts out of the fire. Behind Secretary Kel- loge’s note I have been unable to find a shadow of the American peo- ple, but another quite different.” Calles and Obregon, and the other Mexican politicians who have in the past, betrayed the workers of Mexico, selling them out to Wall Street, are unable to check the sentiment against American imperialism, of the Mexican peasants and workers, and are mak- ing such statements as a concession to this feeling. Great Britain withdraw her ambas- sador when Mrs. Rosalie Evans, a ranch owner, was murdered. Sheffield following the cutting of British rela- tions, did the dirty work for the English capitalists. "ee Latin-American Union Statement. BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, June 19.—The Latin-American union over the signature of its president, Alfredo Palacios, declares that Kellogg's statement on Mexico shows “that want of respect for the sovereignty of our peoples which is characteristic of the white house. “The Argentine people cannot re- main indifferent to the outrage in- flicted upor a brother country,” the statement ‘of the Latin-American unfon continues. “In energetically defending the outraged covereignty of his country he at.the same time de- fends the independence of Latin-Am- erica, now threatened by Wall Street imperialism.” ITALIAN LIRA SKIDS DESPITE MORGAN LOAN Mussolihii’s Promise Breaks Brokers ROME, June 19.—The Italian lira is going down like.a plummet despite the use of the $50,000,000 Morgan loan that was thrown into the ex- change mill, to stop its downward flight. Economists point out that the use of this money will not be able to bolster up the sickly currency; that its debility can be traced to the unhealthy situation of the country and to the deflated hope that the fas- cist regime would “double the value of the lira within a year,” as Musso- lini promised. It must be admitted that the under- taking business has prospered since Mussolini’s advent to power and that the manufacturers of daggers and castor oil have no kick coming, but those who purchased lira with the in- tention of selling on a rising market, are much in the same position as those who purchased German marks before their final disappearance. One senator said that unless the lira is stabilized at twenty ‘o the dol- lar, Italy cannot pay America or any other country. AS WE SEE IT BUILD The Sub Campaign Will End July First This Is the Way It Will Be Done! ED WEEK will end Sunday, June 21, To allow time for the results to be finally collected and to give ample credit to contending locals, The Second Annual Sub Campaign has been extended until July first as was previously announced. ‘That means that all hew subscriptions sent in up to (and not in- cluding) July first, will be counted In on the quotas set for each local. The winners, and the Communist locals deserving special mention for their efforts of Communist building, will be announced in the issue of July 4—a fitting answer to capitalism in this country on its day of mobilization. Until that day, to those individuals, branches and locals who still wish it, the DAILY WORKER will continue to supply WITHOUT CHARGE—bundles of free copies for distribution in order to secure sub- scriptions. ° * * * The task of building the DAILY WORKER will not stop then. We cannot stop building the standard bearer of Com- munism in this country. But with the conclusion of the Second Annual Sub Campaign, plans will be developed (based on the campaign results) to devise other and more effective means if possible to continue this job of Communist build- ing. The Summer Is Here! Open air meetings are a great way to bring the DAILY WORKER to the attention of the workers. With the DAILY WORKER we can bring the message of Communism thru the medium of the day to day news and events in the world of labor. For this use, NOW IS THE TIME to place your bundle orders.

Lincoln Elisworth, the Ohio aviator who ac- companied Roald Amundsen in his at- tempt to fly to the North Pole, rescued two members of the expedi- tion from drowning while Amundsen’s plane was ice bound, Commander Christian Prestrud, naval attache in London of the Norwegian government, declared here, Prestrud was with Amundsen when he discovered the South Pole. “ feel sure Ellsworth will work with Amundsen to start a new expe- dition, but probably the new expedi- tion will be with an airship because, it seems to me, Amundsen has demon- strated the impracticability of aero- Planes fiying to the Pole.” Prestrud said. Abandoned Their Equipment “An Airship could not land at the Pole, but it could fly over it and make map observations, and possibly anchor over the Pole. “It was a remarkable feat,” conti- nued Prestrud in commenting the hardships of the expedition, “for six men to extricate an aeroplane weight- ing a ton and a half from packed ice. “It must have been a dramatic mo- ment when the six men climbed in one plane uncertain whether it would ‘take off,’ because, after four weeks, they could not be sure it would oper- ate. They burned their bridges behind them because they had abandoned most of their equipment. If they had been forced down a hundred miles from Spitzbergen they would have had a hard fight to reach civilization. With little food and equipment they made @ bold gamble and won.” * ee MacMillan Sails Saturday WISCASSET, Me. June 19.—“We are all too happy for words to learn that Amundsen and his party have re- turned safely and we send to our fellow explorers our great congratula- tions and good wishes.” Commander Donald Baxter McMil- lan, who is to leave here for his ninth exploration of the Arctic on Saturday said. “I always felt Amundsen would win out. I did not think there was any cause for anxiety until his food gave out. “We can now go back to our original plans for scientific exploration of the vast unknown continent in the Polar region. Now we will revert to our plan to establish a base at Cape Thomas Hub- bard at the northern end of Axel Hieberg Island which is but a two hour flight from the largest unexplored area in the north. We shall proceed to Etah at the northern tip of Greenland. From the ship’s base the three naval amphibian Planes, will be flown 250 miles to an advance base for food and ofl. Two planes will be left there, one at all times and another to be used as a shuttle with the planes at our advan« ced exploration point to carry sup- plies.
