DAL. Attention is now centring on the north-east frontier of ‘India. while ago Field-Marshal Birdwood, Commander-in-Chief of the British troops in India, travelled the whole length of the Indo-Chinese and Burmahn-Chinese of inspection¢— er 7s frontier. This tour lasted long; the field-marshal spent thuch time in the deserts and jungles of the frontier regions, and where neither a horse nor a motor-car could pass, the illustrious inspector went on foot. He inspected the var- ious points of vantage, the heights and the passes. In short, nothing escaped the scrutiny of the field- marshal, ~ Soon after this illustrious visit, the axe began to ring in the impassable jungles. For the first time the hand of “civilization” touched the virgin forests. The jungle was “cleared” and new ways were opened up to the frontier. Following on the visit of the com- mander-in-chief, there was a most significant visit on the part of the chief of the secret police to the same region of wellnigh impassable for- ests and jungles. The motive of this second visit is naturally kept strictly secret. It was certainly no mere pleasure trip. Speed Up Work. The progress of work on the front- jer is being accelerated. Troops have been commandeered to the north-east, the garrisons have been reinforced, new military bases have been created. In regions until recently untrodden by the feet of men, there are today military outposts, fortifications, and camps. The new military plans of the im- perialists have envisaged the creation of a great “Eastern Army” for In- dia, an army which will be destined to conquer and subjugate the rising peoples of the cast. Part of this army is to be transferred to the north-western border between India and Afghanistan and India and Persia respectively, while another part is concentrated on the north-eastern, Indo-Chinese, frontier. The troops are being speedily collected on these altogether unmenaced frontiers, If the British Diehards in India express their fear of an inroad into India on the part of Afghanistan, they can surely not go so far as to speak of a danger as regards an in- vasion by the Chinese militarists Nevertheless, the Indo-Chinese front- jer is being fortified and troops are being collected there. Military Police. In addition the whole of Assam is being turned into a military border district after the pattern of the north-west distri There is no civil administration at all in these regions. Everything is subjected to the arb- itrary rule of the military authorities. The population is deprived of the right and the possibility of entering the “military zone;” it is threatened with complete destruction. All ov- cupations of the population are ex- ploited for the army, in many cases by compulsion and without payment. The population is dying out, being annihilated and replaced by imported workers and soldiers, At the time of the revolution of slit, the British profited by the weakness of China for the purpose of seizing the region adjoining the Assam frontier, inhabited by the war- like tribe of Abor, and added this to the iand under their exterminating three quart- bay ‘A8 a means of n. the great war. attempted tu lay hands British imperialism A short M. N. ROY, Leader of the Communist Party of India, who is helping the fight against British imperialism ‘in the Far East. on the “neglected” country of Tibet, but in the conquest of this territory they have even to the present day not succeeded. China is still a very large and very rich country, and its south-western region is still 4s “neg- lected” as ever. The armics of the Chinese generals, who, encouraged, supported and maintained by the British government, willingly exterm- inated Chinese peasants and workers, by order of their lords and masters, naturally offer no resistance to im- perialist inroads. Prepares For War. The British war office and the mil- itary command in India have long | been at loggerheads as regards the mechanization of the army and the centralization of its administration. This difference ended with a com-| plete defeat of Simla (the seat of the Vice-Roy of India and of the gen- eral staff of the Anglo-Indian army). London is victorious. The Indian army has been mechanized and sub* jected immediately to the war office. It is no longer at the disposal of the Vice-Roy. The mechanization of the army and its subordination to Lon- don mean that the army in India is to be used not merely for local pur- nosas, such as the defence of the Indian empire and the suppression of local risings, but ‘also for the “higher” aims of conquest abroad. This fact makes it impossible to doubt that we are on the eve cf im- portant events on the frontier of India and China, 2 In a rather smaller degree similar measures are on foot along the border | between Burma and China. At first | all attention was concentrated on this section, but since the tour of the field-marshal, and especially since certain sensational and ,fruiti¢ss ex- peditions were undertaken for the purpose of “freeing slaves,” this at- tention was transferred to Assam. Obviously this is a mofe favorable noint for a possible inroad of Bri ish troops into southern China, while ; the prospective operations in Burma will presumably be of minor import- ance, te Could it, indeed, be possible for the Viehard government not to attempt to profit by the events in China?

BRITISH COTTON WORKERS STAI Walk Out in Spite of Reformist Leaders MANCHESTER, Eng. March 8.— Contradicting previous information to the effect that the textile workers of the Aqueduct Mills in Stalybridge had returned to work after accepting the order of the mill owners that} they work 55%4 hours a week instead of 48, it was reliably learned today that all the workers in the company’s plants with the exception of a few spinners had effected an immediate walkout. It is believed that the spin- ners will also go out on strike against the employers’ order which was to have gone into effect Mon- day. The workers walked out in spite of the conservative union leaders who have been trying to prevent a strike, 1 KILLED, 1 DYING IN CRASH.

Prevents Inquiry Into St. Gothard Guns GENEVA, March 8. — The ship- ment of machine guns from Italy to Hungary in violation of the Treaty of | Trianon has been evaded by the Coun- ceil of the League of Nations. Altho the notorious episode came up for dis- sion, the Council succeeded in side- ing an investigation of the ship- ments. The issue was completely dropped | by the League Council after Hungary declared that she considered an in- vestigation of the shipment “unfriend: ly.” According to reliable authorities, the Italian government has sent many shipments of machine guns and mun- itions to Hungary. Another issue which the League dodged was the controversy betwee Lithuania and Poland. Waldemaras, who had been requested by the Coun- cil to come to Geneva, telegraphed that he would not appear.
