GEORGE IS NOW KING OF SEVEN SEPARATE STATES But Actually He Has No More Power (Special to The Dally Worker) LONDON, Nov, 24.—Politicians and fPonstitutional authorities in Britain &re debating just what the implica tions of the new empire charter passed by the imperial conference just concluded in London mean It is agreed that the sovereign status of the various commonwealths is reo ognized, The colonies are now bound together on an equal basis with the home government, thru the sole in strument of the king, who finds him- self the sovereign head of seven sepa- tate state entities, Contradictions, Asife from the fact that his “state duties” become much larger, there are some obvious contradictions in the ar xvangement that are how coming under @iscussion, The expenses of the king’s household are now borne by Britain only, They amount to several million dollars a year. It is the opinion of many that the cojonies, now that the king {a directly their own, should bear ome of this expense, There ig also the question of de @ense, The only considerable military @nd naval force in the empire {s that of Britain. Save for small contingents ‘and @ few ships of war, the six colo- Mies depend entirely upon the British armed forces. King Agalnet Himeelf, The king may have cause for em- harrassment as the workings of the ew arrangement comes to be tried, For example, as king of Canada, he may be called to sign a treaty with, gay Washington, that is in disagree- ment with the government of Dagland, of which he is also king. ‘The governorgenerals of the colo- jaies now have the status only of per- onal representatives of his majesty. in effect, it is the king that performs the duties of a sovereign in the colo- jaies thru his representatives. A movement in England for the aboli- Mon of the monarchy would automati- wally dissolve the empire, since it is the king alone that the colonies bound together, The Reat Bond. * But all these conundrums propound- ad dy brilliant London lawyers en- tirely leave out of account the real forces that keep the empire, however doosely, still together. The economic ties between the do- minions and the home government are not to be left out of account. Nor 4s the necessity for united action on the part of the capitalists in all parts of the empire to be ignored. While jthe tendency towards dissolving the empire is without question growing ecause of the rapid development of the economies and special interests of the dominions, at the same time, and ‘with particular reference to interna- tional action, the ruling classes of all parts of the empire still have enough interests in common to hold them to- gether. The new empire arrangement with regard to the king has no more sig-. nificance than is implied by the well- known powerlessness of the king in home affairs. He is a mere titular ‘head in the United Kingdom and re- mains so under the new colonial sys- tem. WRITE AS YOU FIGHT! _ TALK TURKEY! Step right up to your shop- mate and speak up.

Washington Bivd., Chicago, tll, Pnclosed §4..... ie selloneivtcian months sub to The Daily Worker, NE of the greatest and most dif- ficult tasks of our movement is the organization of the proletarian youth, and especially the proletarian children. Capitalism is controling all instruments of public education, It uses these instruments to eStrange the children of the workers from their class. Instead of knowledge, the schools convey {illusions and preju- dices, Even the teaching of the ele- mentaries of the so-called three R's, altho seemingly unadaptable to class education, is exploited by the ex- amples and subjects used for the crea- tion ef a pro-capitalist ideology. ,In- deed, if we workers want to retain our own children as ideological parts of our class, if we want them to become militant fighters for the interests of our class, we must struggle with cap- italist educational institutions for our children. * The accomplishment: of this tre- mendous task is impossible, without organizing the children themselves. It is not only necessary to convey to the children an understanding of their Position in society, their duties, their Prospects, but we must also, teach them to fight and how to fight. It is in struggle that the rebellious spirit grows, that one learns to study the enemy, that one* develops his strength and that one establishes class loyalty and self-confidence. The problem of winning the proletarian children for the proletariat in spite of the efforts of capitalism to ideologic- ally kidnap them is, therefore, not only a problem of patient educational endeavors of proletarian parents, ‘but it 1s also and primarily a problem of organizing the proletarian children. They must be organized to system- atize educational endeavors; they must be organized to be able to fight GREETINGS TO OUR PIONEERS The Queen Is Gone—But Not Forgotten RESPECT THE QUEEN OR Go TO JAIL for their rights in the educational goosestep institutions of capitalism; they must be organized to be kept’ away from the capitalist children’s movement, which tho they may not estrange them physically from their proletarian parents but surely lead into an ideological world which makes them enemies to the concepts and aspirations of their parents. The organization of proletarian chil- dren, which fulfills the tasks outlined above, are the Pioneers, The Pioneers are made up of proletarian children, for their education and for their enter- tainment. The building up of the Pioneers must get much more aid from our party members and from our party than they have gotten hereto- fore. Friday, November 26, there takes Place two district conventions of Pioneers; one in Berkeley, for the California district, and one in Chica- g0, for the Illinois distzict, These conferences aim to establish a cen- tralized organization and direction of the Pioneer groups and their work in these district. These conferences will make possible systematic work in the field of proletarian children’s organiza- tion, But these conferences also put up to the party and its members the duty of more energetic and more sub- stantial support of this movement. The ideological growth of our party will guarantee this support. We welcome these conferences of our Pioneers. We see in them another step forward for the revolutionary proletarian movement in the United States. We greet our Pioneers as comrades in arms. Long live the Pioneers.

Ulster Worried Over : Change in Status of on pa British Dominions BELFAST, Nov, 24,—The Ulster government will raise objections to the proposed reorganization of the British empire, as suggested by the imperial conference, it was decided at a meeting of the Ulster cabinet. The Ulster governmenj fears that the change of the title of the king, which would mention “Ireland as a unit, may prejudice the status of Ul- ster, which still considers itself as a part of the United Kingdom. Fascists Say Y. M. C. A. Is an Pernicious Bunch ROME—The fascist party is now directing an attack on the Y. M. C. A., which it brands as a mask for internationalism. A party organ, Il’ Tevere says of it: “This pernicious organization is an opponent of the view of fascism.” It charges that the people are being politically corrupted by accepting charity of cheap hospi- tals, cheap meals, and free recrea Uon facilities, a repetition of “the beastly error of the armistice period, when the people of the liberated reg- ions had only the Americans of the Y. M. ©."A,, with their quantities of Star Spangled Banners, to thank, be- cause of the scandalous lack of Ital- fan organizations for assistance.” It urges that fascism build houses ro take the place of the Y.

Now Orthodox Russian / Incense, Like Czars, Will Go Up in Smoke NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—That the old Russian nobility and upper classes are having a hard time of it spisttnaily as well as materially is shown by the fact that members of the Russian Or- thodox Chureh in this city will here- after worship in one-half. of the old St. Augustine’s chapel on East Hous- | ton street, in the heart of the East Side. THe property belongs to old Trinity parish, the wealth trustees of which have come’ to the.aid of the spiritually homeless Russians by build- ing a soundpfoof wall to divide the chapel into two portions, on one side that is the I.

But the revolutionary proleta- riat the world over must not allow any such thing, for the British mine strike is of the mogt tremendous interna- tional significance. Is General Struggle. The miners’ struggle represents the general class struggle not only of the British but also of the international proletariat, and if their strike closes with defeat it will be the signal for a fresh and more furious attack of capi- talism in all countries, without excep- tion. The workers’ class enemies are impatiently waiting the shattering of the British strike, The miners of Britain are isolated. Defeat awaits them if the revolution- ary proletariat everywhere does not strain every effort to prevent any such thing from happening. Thruout the strike the trade unions lof the U. 8. S. R. have given all the assistance they could to the British strikers. Up to date the miners have received £740,000, of that sum nearly £500,000 has been sent by the Rus- sian unions. In face of the gréat threat to the strike the workers of Soviet Russia haye resolved to levy themselves 1 per cent on their wages of which the orthodox services will be maintained, while on the other the Episcopal rittal will be observed. The Russians will pay the pauperizing rental of $1 a year, which Trinity can well afford to accept, in view of the fact that it has for decades drawn rentals from slum property, until the legislature at Albany threatened to in- vestigate the parish in its capacity of landiord. The Russians are without other place of worship, since the court turned over the oathedral,~ fashion- ably located just off Fifth Avenue, to John Kedrovsky, archbishop under ap- pointment of the selsmatic Living Church of Russia, which is favorable to the Soviet. This left Metropolitan Platon, like his master, without a place to lay his head or his mitre. This was too realistic a form of chris- tianity for the, metropolitan, who has accepted the rity of Trinity in be- half of his congregation, which in- cludes Prince Gagarin and the pianist, Rachmaninoff. New Marriage Law Is Passed in Russia to Protect Dependents MOSCOW, U. 8. 8, R, Nov, 24— Legal distinction between registered and ‘non-registered marriages have been abolished by a law passed by the All-Russian Soviet executive com- mittee. The law means that non-registered marriages are on the same footing as registered marriages, and that the du- Ues and resp@nsibilities of man and wife are the same, the object being to protect the women and children. Legal and material responsibilities are now not lessened by the fact that the marriages are not registered, Silent Stage Gets In|Spain Hits at Labor NEW YORK, Noy, 24.—The Soviet Union hag sent to this country not only a notable .artist, in the motion picture fleld but its most beautiful woman, in the opinion of a committee of artists, writers and film producers, in the person of Natalia Barrache.

Dry Agents Apologize for Seizing Steamship Belonging to Germany WASHINGTON, Nov, 24.—-The Ger- man steamer Carmen, seized 140 miles at sea by a prohibition destroyer and towed into New York, has been of- ficially released and the coast guard officials at New York who seized her have apologized for it as “all a mis- take.” According to a°message to the Ger- mah embassy here the Carmen car- ried a cargo of Scotch whiskey, bound from Bremen to Halifax, worth $5,- 990,000, ‘3 Soviet Republic Aids Jewish Colonization MADRID, Nov. 24.—Spain’s trend to fascism is shown by the government's action in setting up legal machinery to prevent strikes in the country. Under the department of labor there will be created joint committees of workers and employers, which will be held responsible for avoiding conflicts and empowered to impose penalties to enforce peace in the industries. The autocratic nature of this move is shown by the fact that the mipister of labor not only appoints the com- mittees but can at any time reverse their action. Radicals and liberals are looking for state labor unions as the government's next move in this direc- tion, Deny Fraud Charges in Alien Property BOSTON, Nov. 24,—Elihu Root, Jr., and Sherman L, Whipple, counsel for the partners of Hornblower and Weeks, named in the civil suit of the department of justice regarding the sale of the alien-owned Bosch Mag- neto company, today filed in federal court an answer to the charges, deny- ing every charge and implication of fraud. om cio RN AMERICAN TRADE UNIONISTS URG TO AID BRITISH COAL MINERS IN AN APPEAL FROM WORKERS OF RUSSIA to all left wing trade unfonists in America, for ald for the British mine strikers {s sent by the Woodworkers’ section of the Red International of Labor Unions, Moscow: SUPREME COURT SHEARS POWER : OF COMMISSION Decisions Make Trade Body More Useless (Special to The Dally Worker) WASHINGTON, Nov, 24.—The su- Preme court today extracted some more of the teeth of the federal trade commission, The commission hag not the power to require industrial concerns to di- vest themselves of the property of other companies acquired by them thru purchase where stifled competi tion is asserted by the commission, the court held tn deciding the appeal of the Thatcher Manufacturing com- pany of Philadelphia, Commission's Order Squelched. The Thatcher company acquired in 1920 the property of three rival com- panies. The. third circuit court of appeals sustained an order of the com- mission requiring the compan¥ to 4l- vest itself and cease from the owner- ship of the assets, properties, rights and privileges of the rival concerns.

International Economic Conference Is to Meet Only for Consultations (Special to The Daily Worker) GENEVA, Nov. 24.—The interna- tional Economic conference will amount to nothing more than a 4ifs- cussion of world economic problems and will have no power to either plan a tentative agreement between na- ions, or to make recommendations. This is revealed by the draft of the agenda just released, and approv- ad by the preparatory committee. The agenda provides only for “con- sultation” among the delegates and prevents any definite action. After this conference is held, it is hoped by leaders that another one will be arranged, possibly on May 4, which will haye more power. Want Russia Represented. The place of meeting has not been decided, but it was definitely indi- cated it would be in some other place other than Geneva, in order that the | Soviet Union can be represented. Del: | egates fully realize that a conference to discuss economic problems cannot be successful without Russian parti | cipation. That each “economically impor- tant” nation send five delegates to the conference was recommended by the report to the league council. It further stated that the delegates should be chosen for their personal qualifications, rather than for any of- ficial capacity. i Three Divisions. The prégram of the conference is divided into three divisions: conei- deration of present economic prob- lems, consideration of economic fac- tors and tendencies that affect the peace of the world, and factors deal- ing with commerce, industry, and ag- riculture. In the original agenda the matter of “inequalities in treatment of for- eign nationals” was included, but fear that the United States would not par- ticipate because of its attitude on im- migration caused the wording to be| changed to “economic treatment,” in-| stead of “Inequalities of treatment.” Report Rebellion in Brazil Federal Army BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 24.—News of serious rebellion in fed- eral troops of-Brazil has reached here.
