The withering of the lines of the Chinese counter-revolu- y forces before the sledge-hammer blows of the advancing dist armies has forced a swift change of front on the part the imperialist bandits of the United States, France, Britain Japan. Before the echoes of the pacifist utterances of the statesmen | of the great powers have died away the gun-men of imperialism | in the marine, naval, army and air forces have been ordered to shift their bases northward, Japanese forces were moved north- ward several days ago. Two battalions of British have gone north this week, one to Wei-hai-wei and the other to Tientsin. A Brit-| ish air squadron has also proceeded to the latter point. Reports | indicate a similar movement of French forces. American marines, under the leadership of that comic opera | lackey of Yankee imperialism, Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler, have | shifted their base northward from Shanghai to Tientsin, even| while Wall Street’s puppet president at Washington is still con-| gratulating himself on his Memorial Day speech in which he} hypocritically asserted that the armed forces of this country were} never used to stifle the liberties of weaker peoples. This concentration of imperialist forces means but one thing —an attempt at concerted armed intervention on a huge scale against the victorious Nationalist revolutionary forces. Again, in face of the threat to all imperialist rule in China, the invading forces temporarily unite in an effort to stem the tide of revolution. They realize that the new drive is under the leadership of what constituted the left wing of the former Kuo- mintang (nationalist liberation party), the workers and peasants with its inv vanguard, the Communist Party of China. The present Kouminta as thrown off the weight of the middle and hig bourgeo t formed the right wing of the party and sup- ported the 1 to the imperialist butchers of Chiang Kai-| shek, s no section of the present revolutionary movement that will play the » role of bribed tool of imperialism. still takes the egprsige'y in the fight against the Na- i » has more to lose, not only in ist ph on which patriotic Britishers Wave after wave of calamity rolls ever the heads of die-hard government. The breaking off of relations with the Soviet Union has infuriated a large section f British capitalist class that was carrying on trade ; the anti-labor drive has alienated all sections of the ; its defeat on a policy of united action.in China, sield to the pressure of Wall Street, is followed by counter-revolutionary forces upon which it : 3ritish imperialism is also being chal- it—Egypt—where three warships and ad- ditional iand forces have been dispatched to deal with the Na- Licna. »vement there. The mass pressure upon the Egyptian government has forced it to demand the withdrawal of. British officers fren: the Egyptian army council. Many times since the close of the world war the Egyptians have staged revolts against the despotism of British rule and the liberation movement in all the colonial countries has gained tremendous impetus as a reflex of the victories of the Chinese liberation movement. In its fight against this world-wide movement the British imperialists are fighting for the life of the empire—and the realization of the fact that it is thus far losing its fight drives it to desperation. Likewise the Chinese liberation. movement has had its reflex | im the Philippine islands as is evidenced by the peasant revolts | and the actions of an American rear admiral, Kittelle, in dissolving | the labor union at the Cavite naval arsenal, by utilizing the forg-} eries of the British tory government as an excuse. The attacks on the Filipinos are for the purpose of weakening the independ- ence movement and the labor movement so that American forces | in the Philippines can be released for. service in China. Already | Smedley Butler has announced that marines will be removed from | the Islands to aid in endeavoring to reestablish imperialis#rule in| China. More than ever it is imperative that the workers’ and farm- | ers’ organizations in the United States make their voices heard in no uncertain terms in a demand to get the armed forces of this | country out of China and keep them out. Commissioner Warren’s Threat Against Labor. Police Commissioner Warren has declared that he is opposed} to “class” demonstrations or parades in the streets of New York} City. He used the Memorial Day disorders in which two fascists | were killed in the Bronx and the Ku Kluxers and police rioted in| Queens as an excuse for his proclamation ‘against “class” parades. | As far as the fascists are concerned they are so cordially | hated by the overwhelming majority of the Italian population that | whenever-they raise their heads they meet with fierce and spon-| taneous resistance. The assailants of the fascist band, who are alleged to be responsible for the death of two black-shirts, have) not been found. It is an impossible task to arrest all anti-fascists, | for there are not enough jails to hold the Italian population. Ttalian fascists are no menace; they can be taken care of in a| ost salutary fashion by the Italians. As to the koo-koos, they have become so insignificaht that) their night-gown parades only evoke derisive laughter. There is! thing to fear from them. The only demonstrations that are effective are labor demon- strations against plots to murder workers lik xcco and Vanzetti, against the employers and their agents comprising the right-wing | of the trade unions and against the predatory policy of American imperialism in various parts of the world. It is these labor dem- onstrations Commissioner Warren aims at when he speaks | of class demons itions. If this beneficiary of Tammany Hall and the appointee of the} Broadway male butterfly, Mayor Walker, thinks he can with im-| punity suppress labor demonstrations, he is badly mistaken and will discover the fact the moment he tries to prohibit such dem- onstrations. ot and so t! » sets. boast thai the te with R she ; Paced its wan lenged on another ee - bankers of the North, led b: ably invest loan capital. AN ILL-TIMED EXPLOSION (By BERT MILLER In Cell 17 of Tombs Prison). The heated outpouring against Bolshevism delivered by Ambassa- dor Myron T. Herrick at the Mem- orial Day exercises at the Suresnes American Military Cemetery is a remarkable utterance in other re- spects than its lurid vituperative- ness. It is worthy of note that the venerable ambassador speaking as he did immediately: upon the rup- ture of relations between England and Russia has thereby assumed the prerogative of making official comment, upon the provocative act of the British Tory government. This is, to say the least, unusual. He may have acted on his own in- itiative or Cautious Cal may have moved his “spokesman” to Paris for a day. Who knows? It is significant too that the capi- talist press has given the Ambassa- dor’s speech little prominence or editorial comment. From the lack of applause, one is therefore left to opine that the venerable fire-eater -must have put his foot in it, some- how. Ever since John Bull was so ignominiously humbled by Uncle Sam’s refusal to continue to follow Great Britain’s lead in a joint policy in China, the former gentle- man has been aching to recover from this blow to his world prestige and influence. It is evident that Downing Street has now decided that its next step toward this pur- pose is an offense against Soviet Russia. While no one will pretend for a moment that American capi- talism hates Bolshevism any less than do the English capitalists, there is still room to’ believe that various influential and powerful groups of American capitalists now see their way clear to make the most of England's political and eco- nomic difficulties by ousting her from every possible corner of the world market—even Russia, Con- siderable pressure has already been exerted in this direction. With Britain out, what more favorable | opportunity could be found to wrest the greatest possible concessions from the Workers’ and Peasants’ Republic? We are therefore left to wonder, editorially, whether Herrick’s ex- plosion May not have heen ill- timed from the point of view of powerful American capitalist in- terests, Party Factory Unit Hits imprisonment of Daily Worker Heads Protesting against the conviction of | William F, Dunne, editor and Bert Miller, business manager of The DAILY WORKER, Factory Unit 6; Section 7, Wo (Communist) Party has adopted a resolution con- jdemning the action of the: capitalist controlled courts of New York.
