THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1928 Central Executive Committee Session Lauds Litvinoff’s Proposals at Geneva WILL CONTINUE FIGHT AGAINST DANGER OF WAR Realize Imperialists Will Fight Progr am (Special to The Da Daily Worker) MOSCOW, April 22.—After hear- ing Litvinof?’s report on the activities of the Soviet delegation at the preparatory disarmament commis- sion conference at Geneva, the Cen- tral Executive Committee of the So- viet Union unanimously adopted a resolution approving the activities of the delegation. The resolution pointed out that while the Soviet Union continued to defend the program of complete dis- armament as the only possible means of preventing the danger of armed conflicts between the nations and as expressing the fundamental principles of the peaceful policy of the Soviet Union, it realizes the utter im- possibility of carrying thru the pro- gram in view of the absolutely hostile attitude of the overwhelming majority of capitalist powers to the project of partial disarmament even tho that proposal incompletely reflected the Soviet Government’s desire for peace- ful relation between peoples. The project for partial disarmament, how- ever, the resolution points out, would in certain measure diminish the danger of military conflicts and re duce the burden of armaments which is weighing so heavily on the toiling masses. “Again prolaiming to the whole world the unswerving aspirations of the peoples of the Soviet Union for peaceful relations with all other peo- ples and the Soviet Government’s firm resolve to exert all efforts for the complete and definite elimination of all ‘war as a means of settling dis- putes between ‘states, the Centra! Executive Committee charges the government to continue to defend the program for complete disarmament without neglecting the slightest> op- portunity of attaining even partial and temporary results in this re- spect,” the resolution sibbuuetinien DEPORT NEGROES FROM AUSTRALIA Ex-Premier Heads Jingo Movement SYDNEY, Australia, April 22.—De- portation from. Australia. of a troupe of American Negro artists, by order of the house of representatives is. be- lieved here to be the first blow in a concerted effort by the “white Aus- tralians” to bar all Negro and Italian performers from the Commonwealth. The deportacion movement is headed by former premier William Hughes. Declaring that Australian musicians are boycotted in the United States, * Hughes characterized the Negroes as “black beasts.” Negro orchestras are greatly in de- mand thruout AuStralia and the rabid “whites” are being compelled to re- sort to charges of Negro cohabitation with white women to fan the flames of racial hatred in the Gommonweaith. The Hughes group is attempting to embody the deportation movement in legislation. os YEN wee WA NANKING (2) HANKOW [) Map shows scene of struggle war lords. * centrate on the defense of Peking.

The eight per cent wage increase which was awarded by the govern- ment arbitrator was declared inade- quate by the trade unions, which de- clared. that it no way corresponded to the increase of prices and rents in the region. The question has been taken up by the ministry of labor, which will at- tempt to make the award mandatory. In spite of the position of the con- servative union leaders, a large num- ‘ber of miners are Feported to favor a strike.
