Utterly ignoring the facts as to the suppression of the Haitian congress by American armed forces under com- mand of Smedley Butler, the editorial says that the American marines were landed “to protect American and ' other foreign lives and’ property,” and that “under the protection of these marines, it was possible for the con- gress, in accordance with the consti- tution, to assemble and elect a presi- dent.” - It then asserts that a treaty was en- ; tered into “with this new Haitian | government,” and under the terms of } this treaty the United States “felt it: self compelled three years later to as- sist the Haitian government to put ‘down a revolt of those elements | Which had hitherto lived exclusively by revolution and brigandage, ele- Ments, unwilling to accept the new. that veiled conflict into open war danger by the voice of the Mass meetings and demo arranged as follows: DETROIT, MICH.—Mass 7:30 p. m., Trades and Labor H William F.

However, the peace society editorial admits that the marines are still in Haiti “because both govern- ments agree that their withdrawal at present might result in disturbances and bloodshed.” It ends this apology with a suggestion that the date of safe withdrawal is close at hand.

At Hankow, American, Britain, Jap-| anese, French and Italian marines | were landed. The Russian white | gurads are taking active part in sup- Pressing the novement. In most of the undertakings, the strike is still on, Regular Yankee Suppression. The latest reports from Hankow tell of the execution of eight agita- tors. Mass arrests and house search- es were carriefl out. The Chinese committee of the rights of man was arrested. On the suggestion of the foreign powers, the gbvernor issued a war- rant of arrest against the leaders of the 1925 railway strike, and against the leaders of the workers’ and stu- dents’ organizations. The strike tiovement is spreading, and the Japatese printers and the officials of the British shops have joined the Chinese strike. All meet- ings and demonstrations were forbid-| den with the threat of the use of) arms. British Shoot 12 Year Old Children. | Among the victims of the shooting | that took place at Hankow under the command of # British officer, there | are children of twelve years of age; several of those wounded have died. A resolution passed by the profes- sors of the National’ University at! Peking, contains the demand that in view of the shootings at Hankow and of. the of xiolence commit- ted by the aliens, Chinese troops be immediately into the ter- ritory’ of the fo oign educessiohs, that the British sul be deported, and that a cai rical demand be made for the immediate evacuations of the Chinese ports by the alien warships. Shanghai Strikers Stick. The strike at Shanghai is continu- ing unabated for the third week. On the grounds that it is necessary to support the mational industry and to alleviate the suffering of the strikers, the Trade Union Council agreed to the resumption of work in the Chin- ese textile mills, but only on condi-| tion that the Chinese employers of- ficially recognize the trade unions, pay up for the time of the strike, and | to renounce® forever the use of for-| eign police in times of strike. | Negotiations are still on.* The| crews of all the ships that have ar- rived in the port of Shanghai until now, are on strike, and the port is completely paralyzed. The Jananese | strikers have rejected the proposal | of the Japanese employers to sign a| separate agreement until the demands | of all strikers will have been granted. Let’s All Be Free! The students of the Peking Univer- | sity demand the immediate cessation | of relations with Great Britain; they | have also decided to issue a manifesto | to the peoples of the British colonies, | calling upon them to declare their in-| dependence.

There are two phases to my crime: Preparation and execution.” + Zinoviey then describes the prepar- ative phase by sketching the most im- portant stages of imperialist penetra- tion in China since the forties of the XIX century, in others words,—45 years before Zinviev was born.

What effect this victory will have the temper and program of the Chinese people is a question to which Minister MacMurray will give his at- tention as soon as he reaches Peking. If he finds that Peking officials ac- cept the proposed conference as the best road to removal of western im- | Perialism from China, and that strikes ‘and student demonstrations subside, he will so report, and the anxiety of Washington to please the Chinese will cool off. If, however, he reports that the fon cess to demand a great many more and:that national pride is stirred to resentment against the missionaries and traders, Washington will remain anxious for quick action to, satisfy, these demands. cae Flood Hits Manila. 2 MANILA, July 8— The business | Section of Manila was flooded today in the worst inundation since 1914, The flood was so sudden that automo- biles were stalled in the streets and street cars stopped. / make just one correction: all the enumerated preparatory measures were carried out by members of your camp.
