Surveys must be made in all countries as to the opportunities of economical and commercial advantage in the exten- sion and more intensive utilization of the consular service. Wants “American” League. W. J. L, Banham, president of the board of trade and _ transportation, suggested a sort of western league of nations in resolutions calling for the appointment of two committees, one to work toward the appointment of an international body to settle marine disputes between nations of the west- ern hemisphere, the other to strive toward the elimination of disputes that might conceivably lead to war. John Barrett spoke at length on what he called, anti-American propa- ganda, which he said is being spread in South America. He also attacked Soviet Russia. ~“S. Be Gandy, of the Toronto board of trade, called attention to the fact that’ his appearance signified the first participation of Canada in any Pan-American congress, and expressed the hope that it signalized drifting away from British financial rule, to that of Wall Street. af Millionaire’s Son Goes Back to Prison for “Breaking” Parole CHESTER, Il., Dec. 20 — Ira D.

LENIN FUNERAL FILM WILL BE SHOWN INU. S, International Workers’ Aid Imports Movie The International Aid, 1553 W, Madison St., Chicago, has just received from Soviet Russia the “Lenin Funeral Film.” This film is being prepared so that it will be ready for use with the Lenin memorial meetings to be held by the Workers (Communist) Party, and reservations can be made now. Due to the fact that there will be only two copies— first come, first served, will be the procedure, This is the most complete Lenin funeral film to arrive in this country. Some of the capitalist movie congerns managed to get flashes of the funeral parades, but. they were not able to get the impressive ceremonies held inside the. Hall of Unions, nor the death watches kept by the “Old Guard,” nor any of the many other intimate touches that made that funeral one of the greatest manifesta- tions of spontaneous love and respect. No Lenin, memorial meeting should be held without it. Workers’ England Continues Dumping Unemployed Into New Zealand WELLINGTON, Zealand, Dec. 20— Immigrants are being rushed to New Zealand from Britain despite the fact that there is no work for them on arrival.” It is all with the greatest difficulty that they are able to get even housing accommodetion or shel- ter of any kind, owing to the scarc- ity of houses. The result is that many of them are homeless and starv- ‘ing. A big number of immigrants are offering themselves as “scabs” for employment on the British trains laid up in New Zealand because of the strike—hoping thereby to get back to Britain. 3.6 Pct.

Our Academy sof Sciences from now on belongs the whole Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and it should concentrate in itself the crea- tive efforts of all the peoples inhabit- ing our union. I doubt not that the Academy of Sciences of Union of So- clalist Soviet Republics will occupy the place it deserves in the building of the new society which will ensure the real brotherhood of nations.” Kalinin then read the following declaration on behalf of the central executive committee and the coun- cil of peoples’ commissaries of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, which ds given here in full: IAPAN SEIZES MUKDEN WHILE POWERS SLEEP Violation of Treaties Is Ignored PEKING, Dec. 20—Japanese troops are holding Mukden, capital of Man- churia, shutting out Chang Tso-lin as well as his enemy, Kuo Sung-ling. Chang is deeply indignant at being shut out of “his own’? capital, espe- cially by the Japanese for whom he has held the territory and etxended his power in olden days. But the Jap- anese have, as all imperialists, no politeness for a defeated general. The railway guards outside of Muk- den are preventing either army from crossing the zone of the Manchurian line, twelve miles across, and hostili- ties are confined to telegraphic mes- sages between sub-commanders. It is an open secret that the im- perialist powers are shutting their eyes to the invasion of Manchuria by Japan with thousands of troops from both Korea and Japan. Japan is also supporting Li Ching-lin, governor ot Chihli, who is opposing Feng Yu- hsiang., All a violation of the sup- posedly sacred Washington treaties. Because of the civil war, the open- ing session of the nine power im- perialist hearing on extra-territorial- ity has been postponed, the British delegate, Skinner Turner, who is a member of the institution known as the “British Supreme Court for China,” being stranded at Tientsin, eighty miles south of Peking with a war going on between him and the conference, Doctor Discovers Serum to Combat Poison Mushrooms PARIS, Dec. 20. — Innoculation against poisoning by toadstools is now ossible, Dr, Dujarric de la Riviere as reported to the academy of medi- cine that he has discovered a serum which immunizes against illness from eating poisonous growths, supposed to be mushrooms.

Wil- liam Mitchell replied to ex-Secretary of War Weeks, who recommended to President Coolidge that the flying colonel be not reappointed as assist- ant chief of army air service because he had given “misleading” testimony to congressional aircraft committee.

FORM FASCIST ORGANIZATIONS IN:AUSTRALIA Government Organizes Anti-Union Forces By W. FRANCIS AHERN. SYDNEY, Avtstralia—(F'P)—Fascist organizations Have been established thruout Ausffalia, This has now been frankly admitted by the spokes- men of the organizations. That they are fashioned after the Italian model is shown by thé statement of com- mander-in-chief Thatcher who says “we are impressed by the spirit which animates the spirit of the Fascisti in Italy.” Mussolini said in Italy early in November that branches of the fascisti had been formed in Australia. Headquarters have been established at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and branches opened in all leading towns on the continent. Tho the federal anti-labor gov- ernment repudiates any connection between the fascisti and the anti-labor political parties, the formation of the fascisti coincides with a speech by prime minister Bruce that he favored a dictatorship to govern Australia, Government Organize Fascists. Official documents which the Labor press has secured from unimpeachable source disclose that the federal gov- ernment has been busy organizing the fascists tirtout Australia. The documents inélwde secret orders to the fascist ‘ization of the steps to be taken to’ estore law and order if the workers out of hand, These orders read as follows: “It is of extre importance that un- der all circumstances coolness in judgement be: dééd. On no account will a group. ember of a group provoke an The civil police, while assured,.of your support and assistance, be regarded as the force to take the initiative. “Group leaders will maintain the closest. liaison,-with the civil police and render all.,assistance without usurping the uswal powers and duties of the civil police.” Attack Union Members, During the first week of November 750 Fascists marened on Cairns where there was a dispute between the waterside workérs and the shipowners regarding the’ Toading of cargoes. Claiming that°fite Communists had captured the ‘ifiions, the fascists u- surped the civil authority and armed with axes, knives, revolvers, and clubs they set upon several union officials and manhandled them. The unionists rallied in force, is- sued an ultimatum to the fascists to quit the town at once, otherwise re- prisals would follow. The fascists fled. Liberal and Tory Papers Amalgamate to Fight Workers LONDON—-(FP)—The sharpening of the class lines in British politics is reflected in the numerous amalga- mations of Liberal and Tory papers, to present a united front against labor, A similar\lineup was witnessed in the last municipal elections, when Liberals and Tories united generally against Labor, ;Lovalities in which newspaper amalgamations have re- cently taken place include Bath, Ply- mouth, Torquay and Southampton. ow Academy of Sciences Celebrates development of sbfentific thot, retards the process of the human conquest over the for nature, and conse- quently, the eral process of the development of the human race. “The October revolution, having re- moved the aforesaid obstacles by the heroic efforts ef the most oppressed class, the proletariat, has thereby opened a new era in the history of mankind which should consist of a radical reorganization of human rela- tions on the basis of collective and conscious control of the economic sys- tem by the whole of society, in which class divisions shall have been abolish- be accomplished without the broad and profound de- velopment of in all its branch- » It is for very reason that the socialist society, more than any other social order, is primarily in need of the bread development of wupply of tion by a feudal and capitalist minor- “To the Academy of Sciences.

Baldwin faced many questions which he begged to be postponed un- til after Colonial Minister Amery, who has been in Geneva, returns to London. This will be the early part of the week. Enough to Get the Oil? The prime minister said that the extension of the period of the man- date twenty-five yeans was, in his opinion, more than enough.

News is reported of a subsidy of $2,500,000 recently granted by Great Britain to Ibn Saud, head of the Wa- habi tribesmen who has conquered almost all of the old Arabian king- dom for England. His last opponent, Ali, King of Hedjaz, has been hold- ing out at Jeddah, a corner of the Hedjaz kingdom, and it is ‘under- stood that Ibn Saud is to use some of the $2,500,000 to buy off Ali to quit his claim. All Pleased But the Arabs, Ibn Saud. will take the difference between the two sums, Ali will get a fortune out of a slim chance, Britain will get the resources of a great area which stretches from the Persian gulf and the Mesopotamian border to the Red Sea and the Tran-Jordanian and Syrian boundaries.
