This attion has not only thrown Belgian imperialists, whose spokesman today is none other than Vandervelde, the socialist, into a fury, but has aroused the fear of the other fifteen powers with whom China has at one time or another been obliged to conclude a treaty. The action of the Peking govern- the Canton government to impose taxes upon foreigners, comes as an un- expected stroke, altho’the question hag been under consideration since June 24, 1925, when China, in’a note to the powers, pointed ‘out that altho allied to the Entente in the war, its own international status was not improved, and in some respects inferior to that of defeated nations “for ih none of them do we find the existence of extra- territorial courts, foreign concessions, leased territories, and an externally imposed conventional tariff.” We cannot tell if the Peking govern- ment will carry its fight against the imperialist, treaties to the bitter end. But the very proposals of Peking are of profound significance.

It is possible that Italy's attempt to embarrass the interests of French im- perialism in the Mediterranean and in Morocco by instigating the Spanish de- mand for Tangiers may be circum- vented by France. The possibilities for the success of this are the greater since the revelations of the Colonel Garibaldi trial, where it was shown that Italy had been actively conspir- ing to involve France and Spain into belligerency. The reaction in Spain towards these exposures has been hostile to Mussolini, “pe . ° - The Elections in Greece. i Boca results of tie elections just concluded in Greece indicate that the hope of the royalists has been de feated, There is little doubt but that the attempt to restore the monarchy will not get very far in Greece under the present circumstances, Neither the avowed republicans, nor those parties generally grouped as roy- alist, secured a working majority of the members to the national assembly, making it extremely difficult to set up @ government of either group exclus- ively. What wift probably take place will be a coalition government of the republican parties, which have a total of 146 members, with the party of chair on manufactured evidence and after a refusal to hear new evidence on their behalf.” At Last the Name of Wrangel May Shine MOSCOW, Nov. 17. — Russia is colonizing Wrangel Island, to which America laid claim to “inchoate title” in 1881, by reason of the landing ofa party from a revenue cutter and the planting of the U.

Mothers’ League of Philadelphia, at a recent meeting, adopted a resolution | in which they expressed “their deep sorrow on the loss of Debs.” Metaxas, the “Party of Freedom,” which is liberal-monarchist, and which secured 54 members, This will make a government having the support of approximately 200 members as against the combined strength of all the other parties (which includes 9 Communists and 3 agrarians) of some 80 to 90 members. The prediction is that Kafandaris, the Venizelist, will become premier; his colleague of the same party (the Liberal Union, conservative republic- ans who have the largest single bloc in the national assembly: 108 mem- bers) Michalacopoulos, will take the foreign ministry; while Metaxas will become minister of war. Two of the leaders of the govern- ment will therefore be practically Venizelists, Altho the situation is stil! somewhat unclear in Greece, with its confusing and swift changes in the last few months, it would appear tliat unless considerable pressure is brot to bear, the new government will lean towards French imperialism. Certainly Mussolini can gain smal) coméort from the election results, and the position of Greece ig of paramount importance to the imperialist designs of Mussolini in the Mediterranean. Metaxas, how- ever, has anti-French inclinations, and during the war he was held prisoner by the French in Corsica for “pro Germanism” and ‘disagreement with the policies of the then premier Veni- zelos. This complication may lead either to the slowing of the tempo of orientation towards France; the pos- sibility of the calling for a new elec: tion with the tremendous, expense; or @ new coup d’etat which may estab- lish a dictator again, Loans to Roumania and Russia.
