The burgess of Old Forge, a capi- talist lackey, has forbidden the meet- ing and refused the party a permit | to speak on the streets. The nieeting | was scheduled for “Public Park.” | We find however that “Public Partk” is owned by the Jermyn Coal com- pany. Of course the Jermyn officials would be only too glad to grant the park to the Reds for a meeting! “The Reds? Nothing Doing.” Yesterday, as the party representa- tive, I called on the burgess with re- gard to the permit. I found him be- hind the bar in his hotel, one of the many he owns or controls in Old Forge. At his side was a bottle of pick handle with a schooner of beer nearby as a chaser. Asked about the permit the burgess said “Can't be done. The Reds? Nothin’ doin.’ Any- thing but the Reds.” Constanza at the present time is attempting to get re-elected burgess of Old Forge, and the results of the primaries are to be thrashed out in court.

The endeavors of Great Britain are directed towards trans- forming Manchuria into a citadel for the struggle against the Soviet Union. It has therefore set itself the task of heightening the tension between Soivet Rus-+— sia and Chang-Tso-Ling. There is now not the slightest doubt as to the fact that during the re- cent conflict with Chang-Tso-Ling con- cerning the East China railway, Great Britain stood behind this “uncrowned king” of Manchuria, and tried to turn the East China railway into a weapon against the Soviet Union, At the present time there is definite information that Grest Britain is tak- ing a number of measures for increas- ing Chang-Tso-Ling’s army. British banks are granting Chang-Tso-Ling credits for an order of 40,000 rifles from Birminghan factories; at the same time the British are trying to | use Russian white guards for the or- ganization of a strong nucleus within Chang-Tso-Ling’s army, with a view to forming reliable detachments for the struggle against the national liber- | ation movement. British Building Army The organization of these detach- ments has been enthrusted to General Nitchaev, Malinovaky (representative of the Hetman Semenoff) Colonel Or- }loft, and Nikolai Merkuloff (former the “Priamur govern- ment”). In the beginning it is proposed that these detachments consist of out 5,000 men, and should be well: and..equipped. at the. expense of the British, In Pekin, British agents are taking steps to reorganize the Chinese state police. The foreign instructor, Mutte, has beén entrusted with carrying out this reorganization in order to render the state police capable of preserving the “law and order” necessary for the British, and for fighting against the Chinese liberation movement. In Southern China the British agents are again organizing the fa- mous bands, “paper tigers” with | whose aid the British Government ried to overthrow the government of Sun-Yat-Sen in Canton last year. The bands are being organized for the struggle against the Kuomintang from the remains of Chang-Tso-Ling’s de- tachment, and are being armed with British carbines and machine guns.

Its aim is to “clear out” all well-known political leaders at the head of the Chinese liberation movement. The president of this society, is an agent of the British secret police. The aims of all this policy are very |far-reaching.

C., Sept. 21— |The United States government has | started a campaign against Commun- ists and militant workers in this country which many believe is an- jother step in the spreading of the European white terror to this coun- try. Secretary of Labor Davie an- nounced that all foreign-born Com- munists now In the United tates will be deported “as fast as the gov- ernment can lay hands on them.’ The new step of, the Coolidge gov- ernment, ‘representing the American bankers, follows closely on the heels of the action of Secretary of State Kellogg in barring the Communist member of the British parliament, Sttapufji Saklatvala -from* this coun- try. It is, well known here that Sir Wil- liam Joynson Hicks, home secretary of England has asked the world im- perialist powers to unite in a con- certed, drive against workers who are opposed to the exploitation of their class by the capitalists Afraid of Workers. The Baldwin government has been unable to stem the growing unem ployment in England, and has been forced to cut the unemployment | doles. The Communist Party of Great | Britain has gained tremendously in \influence, and the Minority Move |ment and the left wing in the trade unions have considerable power. The British imperialists fear the profit system is not long for this earth, and now the Coolidge govern- | ment, afraid of the spread of demand for workers’ control of industry in this country, is co-operating with the British imperialists in this new drive on the Communists and the working class. Outlaws Militant Workers. Secretary Davis declared that “mere membership” with any organ- jization “planning the overthrow of the government” will be grounds for deportation of foreign-born workers. Davis said that foreign-born Oom- munsts, “are being deported when- ever their presence in this country comes to the notice of the immigra- tion authorities.” Solicitor Risley of the labor depart- ment declares that he interprets the immigration laws to mean that “an alien of Communist political faith many not lawfully enter or remain in this country and is subject to ex- clusion or deportation.” Coolidge and his Wall Street gov. ernment have made it plain that his government will continue the policy of deporting any foreign-born worker who champions the cause of the work- ing class, .
