CALLS FOR VICTORY AGAINST FORCES OPPOSING REVOLUTION Five days before the massacre of! the British Sikh police on May 30, 1925, which precipitated the historic uphea’ whose beginning the world now witness Committee of the Kuo Min Tang (People’s) Party, controlling the South Chinese Republic at Canton, issued the accompanying declaration on the political situation of the Chinese people. This declaration, followed by the eyents which are shaking the structure of capitalist imperialism, will be among those treasured documents when the historians of a free people shall —+write the records of the world’s SOCIALIST KILLS FIGHT FOR MORE AID TO JOBLESS Uses Same Argument That Tories Give LONDON, July 10.—The leader of the reformist yellow second Interna- tional, J. H. Thomas, at a meeting of} the National Union of Railwaymen, | hotly opposed the motion made by Lecher, delegate from the East End of London, to request the government to increase the unemployment dole to 30 shillings a week for a man,] 15 shillings for a wife dependent and 10 shillings for each dependent child. Thomas said that he opposed. in- creasing the relief to unemployed because the measure. could not be put into effect’ without hurting business, and to “pass it’ would only raise hopes among the unemployed that could not be realized. ‘If the workers. of Great Britain the ballot box and they wanted)” “How about voting for a labor gov- ‘ernment’ who called out troops against the strikers?” Thomas dodged the application of unemployment relief by saying that it was too big a question to settle in- internally and nationally. It would haye to, be done all at once all around) the world or not at all. “Who is go-| ing to pay the dole?” he asked. And! added that if the dole was increased, | nobody would work. This is the same argument made against allowing any | nuhemployment relief at all, by the| leaders of the Baldwin tory govern- ment. | Thomas managed to get the meas- ure killed. | | Farmer Is Killed KEWANEE, Ill, July 10.—While riding on a load of hay to the barn, Gerrd Arnold, 18, was instantly killed today.

The declaration proclaimed these the most important tasks of the national revolution. And our, President aimed to call upom the people to.bear the re- sponsibility for the realization of these tasks.

And apt ’ American imperialism is moving swiftly but cautiously in its diplo- matic maneuvers against the statue quo of British imperialistic interests in China. \ Today it was announced that Presi- dent Coolidge has recalled Secretary of State Kellogg from his vacation at St. Paul and will meet Kellogg and Under-Secretary Grew at Smapscott, Massachusetts, tomorrow at the sum- mer White House to “talk about China.” Denies One Day—Next Day Asserts. Cautious feelers thrown out to push British imperialism further against the wall of her interests is seen in the statement given out—the day af-) ter a statement is issued in London denying that the United States wishes to “drag” the other imperialist powers jinto a conference on extra-territorial- lity treaties in China—to the effect jthat “A call may be issued from the |summer White House for a confer- ence of the major world powers” upon that subject, following the- conference | with Secretary Kellogg. The unofficial statement even says that the president has been‘ informed | that France has‘agreed to such a conference and—more bold and aston- ishing—‘That Great Britain already is committed to it.” Kellogg is not expected to return to his vacation, but to go back to his desk at the state department in Wash- ington and tend to business closely from now on. No British Consent. SHANGHAI, China, July 10—The powerful British interests in China are making a great drive thru all the close connections with thé home gov- ernment at London to oppose bitterly and unrelentlingly the proposal of the American government to hold a con- ference to revise the unequal treaties forced upon China by foreign imper- ialism. British Fear Americans. The great British commercial and financial interests, which dominate Chinese governmental finance chiefily by control of the customs tariffs ad- ministration, fear and fight against any revision of the treaties as promised by the Washington conference, know- ing that the existing British advan- tage would be in peril from capture by American and also by Japanese competition, An American Frame Up.

But trade unionists have thus far tailed to make an impression’ on thg gate. receipts. They have not estab- lished picket lines at the parks, nor have many union men stopped going to see the games. The power house is still closed down and the strike lines tight as ever. Under the excuse of “searching for dynamiters” the foreign police raided several offices of the unions and ar- rested three union officials, after two small bombs were set off in a store window, injuring no one.
