il RESIGNATION OF CHINESE CABINET FOLLOWS SLAYING Gen. Feng’s Telegram Hastens Action (Special to The Daily Worker) PEKING, March 23, — The entire cabinet has resigned as a consequence of the slaughter of student demonstra- tors by President Tuan Chi Jui’s per- sonal bodyguard. A telegram from General Feng, the nationalist com- mander-in-chief, precipitated the ac- tion, In the message Feng held the cabinet members responsible for the deaths, _* 8 Cause of Tientsin Blockade. CANTON, March 23, — The back- ground of recent. events in Tientsin in connection with the Taku incidents is becoming clearer, A reliable informant’ who has just arrived from there states that the Chang Tso Lin forces attacking Tient- sin tried to slip their soltiefs into tthe city by swinging their vessels into the channel close behind the foreign steamers, thus compelling the defend- ers efther to endanger foreigners by firing directly over the ships or to allow their enemies to get near enough to enable them to land. The Japanese ships were thus followed particularly, leading to the justified suspicion that this was due to a pre- arrangement, strengthened ‘by the ‘well-known friendship between Chang Tso Lin and the imperial Japanese government, Japanese Courted Disaster. The Japanese warships which were fired upon by the Taku forts had ab- solutely no reason for trying to reach ‘Tientsin, according to this informant, as the foreigners in the city were in no danger. ee Japanese Note Moderate, TOKIO, March 23.—The terms of the recent note to China concerning the clash at Tientsin exemplify the moderation policy of the present Shidehara cabinet in the general re- Jationships of Japan to that country. Tt is in contrast to the open support given Chang Tso Lin in Manchuria ~ during the Kuo Sung-Lin revolt. The official press states that Japan ‘will be satisfied if the Peking author- ities take up the matter promptly for further negotiations and emphasize the point that even a refusal will not lead to drastic measures at this time. In the latter event, Japan, it is said, ‘will look to the world for moral sup- port to her claims. Economic Reasons, This change in the usually bellicose attitude of Tokio towards China is ‘based on the fact that it is vital for the Japanese to add no further fuel to the already ardent and nationwide hatred of the Chinese for them. The country is in no condition for further large losses in its trade with its neigh- bor across the Yellow Sea, “General” Ceasare Rossi, ers beginning with Mussolini. Siberian Railroads Extended. VLADIVOSTOK, Siberia, March 23. —The 2,000 kilometer line of the South Siberian railway connecting Omsk with Barnaql is almost com- pleted. This line will greatly facili- tate export of grain from Siberia to Black Sea ports. The operation is part of a ten year program which will increase the mileage of the Trans- continental Siberian railway to more than 6,210 miles.

This is to be expected of such a party. There is great rivalry for example between Mussolini and Farinacci the general secretarytreasurer of the party. There is question in Rossi's mind as to who is the real dictator. But when Rossi speaks of the growing power of the nationalists and connects the lat- ter with the power Banca Commercial it becomes doubtful whether either of the two ds dictator. It is significant that the nationalists under the lead- ership of Federzoni and Rocco have all the important posts in the foreign office, the defense ministry and the judiciary. “The nationalists have even obtained entire domination of the national militia, which was to have been a reserve of the ‘fascist revolution’ but now is reluctantly obliged to swear allegiance to the king.” It is this growth of national- ist influence, representative of the re- turning political hegemony of banking and big industry, that has doubtless encouraged Mussolini’s imperialist gestures, especially with regard to North Africa, territory in which Ital- ian industry covets for colonial ex- pansion, During Rossi's spasm of hatred and revenge he has told several truths that, pieced together, foretell the utter collapse of fascism in the near future. The workers of Italy, since the betrayal of their reformist leaders in 1920, have not summoned the en- ergy and organization necessary to re- pulse fascism. Much of fascism’s strength has come from the division and weakness and bad leadership of the workers, They are now nearly fed up. There are definite indications that the workers of Italy are prepar- ing to retrieve their losses, throw oyerboard their reformist leaders and declare open warfare on fascism, Former | Serv. dW orkers (Special to The Dally Worker) The funeral of General Alexei A. officials, including’ General Voroshilov, commander in chief of the Red army.

Walter H. Pollak of New York summed up for the ap- pellant. He raised the point that the 14th amendment had been violated in the enactment of this state law, since it was intended to deprive citizens of their liberty because they held certain opinions—a procedure which was not due process of law. Moreover, it violated the guaranty of equal pro- tection under the law, since it makes a crime of certain acts when aimed to produce changes in industrial and po- litical institutions, while it does not équally penalize the same acts if not aimed at industrial and political change. Discriminatory Law. He asked the court to assume, for instance, that certain acts of violence were committed by the ku klux klan and by the I. W. W., and that the klan favored keeping industrial and political institutions as they are, while the I. W. W. sought to change them. This state criminal syndicalism law would not call for punishment of the klan for doing a thing that would be punishable if done by the I. W. W. Miss Whitney has assisted in raising defense for the I. W. W., who were prescribed in California under this law. Her conviction was in part due to the showing that the national con- vention of the Communist labor party adopted a platform in which the I. W. W. were hailed as having con- tributed to the American labor move- ment by their “long and valiant strug- gles and heroic sacrifices in the class war.” The Oakland convention which she attended adopted the Chicago (na- tional platform unchanged, but with- out any emphasis upon, or discussion of, this reference to the L.

Miss Whitney was originally con- victed under the syndicalism law of California in 1920 for having par- ticipated in the state Communist la- bor party convention of the previous fall, held in Oakland where she lives. She was sentenced to from one to fourteen years in the state peniten- tiary. Her appeal before the federal supreme court has been pending for some years, It was dismissed for tech- nical reasons last December but she was allowed to amend the appeal to bring the issues squarely before the court, France Pays 10,600,000 Francs for Aeroplanes Which Cannot be Flown PARIS, March 23.—The investiga tions of the chamber of deputies has revealed a war scandal here rivaling those of America, One of the largest aeroplane firms in France received a government or- der for 175 all-metal planes at a total price of 11,000,000 francs. The com- pany had already been paid on ac- count 9,000,000 francs when it was discovered that the machines were 80 defective as to be entirely useless. The firm’s official repressntative at this stage demanded that 1,600,000 francs out of the contract price of 10,600,000 still due should be paid and the transaction would be considered closed. In other words, the govern- ment would have on its hands a lot of steel frames and be out 10,600,000 francs. A Friend In Need, The war ministry refused such a settlement. The official representa- tive of the concern, however, was a great friend of the war minister. The consequence was that while the firm should have reimbursed the govern- ment for the money paid, it actually received 700,000 francs more upon the deal. An Appropriate Candidate, The minister of war had the ap- propriate name of Maginot. The rep- resentative of the firm was M. de Kerillis, an editor of one of this city’s most reactionary dailies, the Echo de Paris, and was a parliamentary candi- date of the right wing bloc in the last elections.
