After the French had burned a number of native villages a little to the southeast of Damascus, and mur- dered 700 Arabs at Hama, 24 of the murdered Arabs were strapped to the backs of camela and brought into Damascus to the Musselman quarter The sight of the dead bodies on swaying camels and news of the re- prisals disgusted the Arabs and im- mediately demonstrations against the Painleve’s ‘Fall Is New Symptom Showing Rule of Capitalism Is Dying By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. TOAY: the Painleve government at Paris has fallen to its doom, drowned in the blood of its own spilling. In the hour that Painleve quit, taking with him his whole cabinet, including the much advertised “financial wizard,” Caillaux, the charge comes from the Palestina Arab Congress that 25,000 men, women and children were slaughtered in the recent bombardment of the native quarter of Damasmus. War against the Syrians in Asia, was against the Rif- fians in North Africa, war against the workers and farmers at home, to maintain capitalism in France and spread the empire, proved too great a burden even for this government by violence, blessed and supported by the international financiers of Wall Street after the fall of the “radical social- ist,” Herriot. ° J STUDENTS GIVE TARIFE MEET A WARM WELCOME Storm Conference to Ask Autonomy (Continued from page one) dents and workers who blockaded the conference delegates with masses of demonstrators waving flags and ban- ners demanding a China free from im- perialist domination, Students Demonstrate.

Union Leaders Imprisoned. This military dictatorship ignored the civil government to such an ex- tent that its functioning was impos- sible, the case of the Nitrate Miners’ Union leaders being an example, in which, tho acquitted of charges brought against them in the civil courts by the imperialist nitrate mine owners, they were seized by the mili- tary, given a farcial “trial” by court martial, and sent to the island prison. It is understood here that this af- fair had considerable to do with the resignation from office of the presi- dent of the “Republic” of Chile, Ar turo Alessandri, who would no longer share responsibility for the conduct of affairs. A Queer Election. This resignation naturally resulted in a call for an election, but the mili- tary dictators conspired to defeat any choice by the people, among whom the organized unionists are a decisive factor, Under the astounding excuse that “disorder” might result if elec- tions were held in the usual manner sanctified by all the normal rules of “democracy,” they decreed that altho there should be an election, all par ties must agree on one candidate, and they obligingly furnished one of their choice, Emiliano Figueroa-Lar- raine. Soldiery Prevents Fair Voting.

Street clashes with the military have brought numerous casualties. But no ac curate reports of the number wounded or killed have come thru. A great crowd of 20,000 or more gathered in the public square, where speakers voiced the pent-up discon- tent of the masses with demands for} annullment of the election, “vivas” for Salas and denunciation of the mill- tary for “delivering the country into the hands of the money kings of Wall Street.” Great excitement exists, which the military, as usual, an- nounces it will meet with martial law.

Washington papers carried lengthy reports of the demonstration in front of the Hungarian legation in the capi- tol last Saturday when scores of work- ers marched up and down in front of the building carrying signs protest- ing against the Horthy court martal trials. The demonstration was staged by the International Labor Defense. De- spite a heavy downpour of rain and police interference the pickets stay-| ed with their signs until the time al- | lotted by the committee had expired. They refused to quit on demand of the police, insisting they had a per- fect right to picket. The demonstration created a sensa- tion in Washington and the most un- comfortable flunkey in the Teapot Dome balliwick was the Hungarian count who™ married the Vanderbilt millions, the influence of which counts heavily with “Nervous Nell” Kellogg, the secretary of state. After the picketing a mass meet- ing was held which was addressed by Norman Tallentire, who took a prom- inent part in the defense of Tom Mooney and J, O. Bentall, a graduate of Leavenworth, where he served a term as a class war prisoner. Silence Is Broken.

AMERICANS AID REVOLT AGAINST NICARAGUA HEAD (Special to Phe Daily Worker) MANGUA, Ni yragua, Oct. 27—The agents of Wali Street with thé active aid of the American minister here, has succeeded in placing the tool of Wall Street at the head of the gov- ernment here, practically deposing President Solorzano, and putting in his place Gen. Emiliano Chamarro, former president and for two decades or more, one of the most brutal dic- tators in Central America. At four o’clock on Sunday morning armed forces under the command of Chamarro entered and took charge of LaLoma, the apa commanding this city, without opposition and the garrison joined in the movement. Large reinforcetients of conservatives supporting the venture were admitted to the fortress and equipped with arms, 4nd a message sent to President Solorzano demanding that he dismiss the liberal members of his cabinet and restore the conservatives to pow- er. They base their demands on the claim that at the election a year ago the liberals won thru fraudulent methods. ; American Minister Acts. President Solorzano, thinking that the American minister would use his influence to aid the cause of “democ- racy” received a rude lesson in the mysteries of the imperialist diplo- macy of the United States, when he tried to enlist the ald of that worthy. At a conference with the American minister, the supporters of the gov- ernment insisted they did not intend to retire. This was followed by violent street their demand for wage increase for fighting in which a number on both the questionable benefit of the check-}sides were killed. Soon after this event information was conveyed to the president of the republic that American troops defending his premis- es would no longer do #0, unless he yielded to the demands of Chamarro, to which he acceded. It seems that President Solorzano was suspected of favoring groups op- posed to American imperialism, so the agents of Wall Street contrived to arrange a coup d'etat for the ad- venturer and despot, Chamarro.

Hundreds of millions loaned in the United States have not been able to stabilize the French franc, no more than great sums borrowed have been able to bulwark the Belgian franc. French and Belgian money are going down the same chute that saw the decline of the Ger- man mark, with a Dawes plan waiting at the bottom. The Painleve-Caillaux government didn’t harmonize sufficiently toward the end with Wall Street’s ambitions for France; so it had to go. * * France will no doubt get an even more reactionary gov- ernment that must continue to accept the slave role im- posed by American finance capital. ; That does not mean that socialists cannot be in the government, or very closely sympathetic to it. Socialists have proved the best allies of reaction, in Great Britain, in Germany and in France. MacDonald had an_ imperialist policy more to the right than that of Baldwin. Von Hinden- burg, deserted by the nationalists on the Locarno “security pact,” looks to the democrats and socialists for support. President Domergue may select a new premier who will call socialists to his side to wage war against the Syrians and the Riffians and send more Communists to French bastilles, But it will not help. The colonial peoples will continue to struggle for their liberation. Industrial workers in the great French cities will carry on their fight for emancipation. ae) The repeated and rapid changes in governments, in Germany, in France and elsewhere, attest the fact that cap- italism merely jumps from one crisis to another. Already new masses of workers in Germany, given jobs temporarily under the Dawes plan, are being recruited for an increasing army of unemployed. * The overturn of the Painleve government comes on the heels of the Locarno conference with its “peace” promises, and it postponed its fall a few hours so that its foreign min- ister, Aristide Briand, could preside over the council of the league of nations in an effort to restore a makeshift peace in the Balkans between Greece and Bulgaria. Capitalism, in the hour that it tries to tell the world that it is strong and whole, breaks forth with another multitude of symptoms proclaiming the fatal disease grave. that is rushing it toward the conference, while the decrepit old pro- visional president, Tuan Chi-jui came to the conference thru the streets heavily guarded and with troops lin- ing both sides of the roadway, Neither Shen nor Tuan, however, had much to say aside from voicing welcome to the delegates and expressing the ex- pected aspirations that China be giv- en equality with other nations, It was Ching Ting-wang who spoke the line of policy. No Haggling Says Ching. Ching added to his demand for autonomy the following: “China asks only what she expects to receive. She does not believe in asking for ex- cessive concessions and then whit- tling them down. China does not wish to bargain.” The diplomats of the imperialist powers conferred privately on the sub- stance of China’s demands as voiced by Ching. Then Ambassador Mac- Murray, of the U. S., the first foreign delegate to speak, tried to remind everyone that the conference must keep within the limits of the Wash- ington agreements, by saying that he was glad to attend a conference call- ed for carrying out the Washington “treaty.” He added, by way of room to escape into larger fields, that he was prepared to consider carefully, open-mindedly and generously, any reasonable plan for realizing China's hopes. “Unified” China Very Popular. Sir Ronald MacLeay, British am- bassador, asserted that a united China was as much in the interest of Great Britain as of China herself, without adding the further fact that of course China must be unified only by consent of the British foreign office and un- der the control of imperialist tools. The Japanese delegate, Eki Kioki, who in 1915, tred to put over the in- famous 21 demands upon China, show- ad that he had had a change of tac- dic if not of principle by suggesting that steps be taken to attain Chinese /jautonomy. But he added that of TURKEY REFUSES TO ATTEND HAGUE COURT ON MOSUL Will Not Submit to Court Arbitration THE HAGUE, Oct. 27—Turkey has refused to participate in the extraor- dinary sessions of the permanent court of international justice. In a telegram to the court, whose sessions have just been opened, Turkey takes the stand that she will not submit the Mosul boundary dis- pute to arbitration before the league of nations. She also tells the court that it has no business to pass upon whether the league of nations have a right to arbitrate or not, as the boundary dispute is a political issue. Court Hears English. Despite the absence of Turkey, the court began to hear the evidence which Sir Douglas Hogg, the British delegate who is living up to his name, is presenting to show why the court should allow the league of na- tions to arbitrate the issue. Turkey refuses to abide by any de- cision to arbitrate the Mosul issue before the league of nations, as it was the league of nations that handed Mosul and its oil fields to Great Brit- ain in the league mandate for Iraq. ishovo, Two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry and half a regi- ment of artillery have been received reinforcements frmo Salontki, The Bulgarian troops are concen trating for an offensive at Melnik, which is about 55 miles northeast of Saloniki, Wi) 7's Forty Lives Lost, SOFIA, Oct.’ 27.—Fifty dead and wounded is the total cost of life in Bulgaria as the result of the clash with Greece and the Greek bombard- ments of Bulgarian territory, Twenty-six of the casualties were soldiers and the remainder civilians.

Caillaux’s flat refusal to treat with the demands for a capital levy has been largely responsible for the pres- ent situation, Painleve said he had no idea who would succeed him, “I haven't any idea who President Doumergue will select as my succes- sor,” said the former premier, “Who- ever succeeds me can count upon my entire support.” Herriot Refuses Call Pres. Doumergue has already re- quested former Premier Herriot, the hero of the social-pacifist era in France, to attempt to form a cabinet, but Herriot refused. There is con- siderable of a movement under way from his supporters, the left bloc, to persu: him to accept the post of premier again, Aristide Briand, foreign minister in the Painleve cabinet and himself pre- mier of France more times than any other living man, may be called upon to form a cabinet, but it is believed “|here that he will refuse. The tmpression prevails that Pain- leve will be called upon to form an- other cabinet, in which case he will leave Caillaux out and give strong re- presentation to the Herriot group, preliminary to endeavoring to stabil- ize the franc thru a capital levy, Immediate inflation is necessary to save the currency from complete col- lapse, which will unquestionably be followed by further depreciation. A capital levy, as proposed by the radical socialists around Herriot will have the effect of weakening the French bourgeoisie so that they may be forced to yield in the near future to a Dawes plan, “Wrap sy! lunch in a copy of the DAILY WORKER and give it (the DAILY WORKER, not the course, “that goal is attainable only thru successive stages and we believe that the powers’ unconditional sur- render of their treaty rights is not contemplated by China herself.” Japan Suggests.
