TO STEM DRIVE Report Peasant Revolts Near City (Continued from Page Une) by the mass of workers within the city, the authorities fear, In spite of the wkolesale execution of left wing leadwrs, the ruthless suppression of all trade unions and the arrest of thou-énds of workers, the workers within the city are believed to be secretly sympathetic to the worker- peasant armies. Canton. authorities fear that peas- ants in villages surrounding Canton will furnish aid. Villages surrounding Canton have repeatedly set up Soviet governments, which were ruthlessly erushed by the Kuomintang troops.

BOHEMIAN MINERS STRIKE COMPLETE PRAGUE, (By ~mail.)—The situa- tion in the miners’ struggle in north- west Bohemia is unchanged. The strike is still complete with the ex- ception of three small pits in the Ko- ¢ : motau district. The reports, of the bourgeois press concerning an alleged | breaking-up of the struggle are false. Everywhere meetings of the strik- ing miners are demanding that the struggle be intensified should the ne- gotiations which are at present being gonducted lead to no result. The miners are determined not to give way to the provocative proposals of the coal barons, The mine owners are furious and startled at the fact that the safety men who have been left in the pits are sabotaging. They are using this fact to conduct a furious anti-communist campaign in the hope of driving a wedge between the strik- ing Communist miners and their fel- low strikers, All these attempts have shattered on the united front set up by the fighting miners.

Obregon studiously avoided } D any direct refer- | fe stlatae, ence to the role of the United States at the conference. “The conference had no further significance in my opinion,” he said, “than to show what appreciable fail- ure of civic, moral and patriotic sen- timent which the mentality of some Latin-American governments has suf- fered, “It, may be deduced from the de- signs revealed by the representatives of these governments that they did not interpret the real sentiments of their peoples. Had they done so they would have called on moral and ma- terial forces sufficient, within their own frontiers, to guarantee their stability and would not have pretend- | ed that the authority which they stat- ed they represented and which always sought to emanate from the sover- eignty of the people found it neces- | sary to appeal to the material forces | of foreign countries. “Apart from this aspect of the con- ference, which brings a blush to Latin America, I feel further comment un- necessary,” MANCHESTER.
