Address Meetings. Four crowded meetings of workers were addressed in the evening by the visiting labor groups. The foreign speakers pledged assistance to Russia if England starts war on the Soviet | government.

Kelloge Shows No Hurry About Slave. Trade Convention WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (FP).— Nearly six months ago the State De- partment received from Geneva the official copy of the international con- vention for suppression of the slave trade, which was signed by represen- tatives of 22 nations at the seat. of the League of Nations on Sept. 25, 1926. Up to date, the proposed general treaty remains in the hands of sub- ordinates of Secretary Kellogg. How far it is, still, from considera- tion at the hands of the head of the department is now disclosed. Nor is the department ready to say whether it will be submitted to the senate this winter for ratification. The most that can be learned is that no defi- nite stand has been taken against it by any of the minor officials who ave looked at the text. jof the fresh troops 160 marites on board.

Starving Youth in Jail for Attack on Socialist Mayor VIENNA, Nov. 27.--An” aifempt against ‘the life of Herr Kari Seitz, Mayor of Vienna, and bloody sup- presser of the July Revolt, was made yesterday by Richard Strebinger, 23 years old, who for months has been out of work in the strong-hold of so- cial democracy. Strebinger who lost |his last job months ago in Saltzburg | where he had been working as a super, was living with his brother, also jobless, in a cellar in-Vienna. Maddened by hunger, after scores of vain efforts to get jobs thru the municipal bureaus, Strebinger at- tempted to see thg mayor in the town hall and was refused admittance. It is thought that he then determined to | make the attack. While the hunger-razed Strebinger was thrown by the police into his cell, the mayor was attending a perfor- mance of Lonsdale’s “Are’nt We All,” at the Burg Theatre. IMPERIALISTIC LABOR. Bertrand Russell, English man of letters, philosopher and Jecturer, said at the Civic Club yesterday that. there would be a change in tone but no fundamental change in the foreign policy of Great Britain with the La- bor Party in office again. towards Russia, he said, but no fun- damental difference between the La- bor government and the present Tory rulers in the shaping of England’s im- perialist policy. \ Lenin Said:- “Politics is a science and an art that did not come down from to this Heaven and is not acquired gratis.

DOUGLAS. Below is a brief summary of the impressions of an American delegation which arrived here October 28. After visiting several factories, schools and other workers’ institutions their senti- ments were unanimously favorable. A short report of the delegates’ findings follows: Nothing has made a more profound impression on the visiting delegations of foreign workers than the spirit and enthusiasm of the workers in the So- viet Union. It is not the temporary enthusiasm of workers in other coun- tries, such as is displayed when the boss gives a banquet or a bonus, but it is a type of enthusiasm which can only develop when the workers actual- ment of industry.
