WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Secre- | tary of State Stimson announced | of American imperialism over Bri-| further details yesterday of the forthcoming five-power conference on cruiser strength, This confer- ence now takes the place of the Dawes-Macdonald conversations as the chief field of conflict between British and American imperialism, where the preliminary stages of the forthcoming military conflict take place, each country moving for the greatest possible naval strength and the least for its opponent. There will also be much difficulty with the demands of France, Italy and Japan for more naval power, rela- tive to that of the other two great imperialisms. Keep Up Bluff. It is still claimed in Washington and London that the Dawes-Mac- Donald preliminary conversations were nearly successful, and that Stimson’s note establishes practical agreement, But the admission that there still remain important points to discuss, and that the new con- ference proceeds without regard to the settlement of the conversations, or to MacDonald’s visit to America in October, indicates the impasse. Britain still claims her 50 cruisers with approximately 400,000 tons total displacement. The U. S, note did not agree to this, but accuses the British ‘admiralty of having already a superior power in cruis- ers, and insisting that the British flees must be reduced. There is also a dispute over the armament of American cruisers of the 10,000 ton @ass, the U. S. naval experts de- manding 8-inch guns and the Brit- ish contending that they must not carry larger than 6-inch. And still more, there is a dispute over the method of measuring equality in cruisers already built. Submarine Parity. France and Italy dispute with each other, Mussolini demanding submarine parity with France. Both countries oppose U, S. and Britain on the question of submarines, the French press iaaking a big demon- stration for the right to build large numbers of these as “the chief weapon of poor countries.” Japan is with France and Italy on submarines, while both U. S. and England wish to strictly limit them. England particularly, with her in- sular position and still fresh memo- ries of the almost successful Ger- man U-boat blockade during the world war, is extreme in its state- ments against the unfairness of sub- marine warfare. Japan Demands More. Japan also adds fresh source of controversy by demanding a higher ratio of cruiser strength to that she had to take on battleships at the Washington conference. The battle- ship ratio for U. S., England and Japan is 5-5-3, Japanese naval de- partment ocials have declared, and the Japanese press loudly defends, a 10-10-7 ratio on cruierss. Stimson yesterday refused to state whether complete arrange- ments were made for the confer- ence, but intimated that it would be held in London, and probably in December of this year. He said that negotiations among the ambassa- dors in Washington of all the par- ticipant nations had been going on for days. 3 Gérman Mill Slaves, Oklahoma Workers in Gastonia Protests From Old Garfield Block, Okla- homa City, to the textile mills of Thuringen Wollgurn, in Germany, is a far cry but the word Gastonia is cémmon on the lips of the working class between those two points. A long list of cablegrams, tele- grams and letters of protest against the Gastonia case have been re- ceived today at the Gastonia Joint Defense and Relief Campaign Com- mittee, of 80 East Eleventh Street, New York City. The protests include messages from the textile workers of Thurin- gen-Wollgurn, the workers of Okla- homa City, who met every night last week to aid the strikers, the miners of Benld, Ill., Carlinville, and Panama, Ill, locals 501, 524 and 544 of the National Miners Union; the workers of Newberry, Mich. the Russian-Polish branch of the Needle Trades Industrial Union, of New York, the House Wreckers Union, of the same city, the Madison Park Singing Society, of Paterson, N. J., print shop workers in the Montague Lee Print Shop of New York. Protests from the International Class War Prisoners Aid, of London, England, were also received, telling . of meetings being held throughout Great Britain and Scotland. “There must be no repetition of the Sacco-Vanzetti case!” the work- ers declare in their telegrams, “We demand the immediate freedom of these outstanding workers of Gas- tonia, who are in danger of the elec- tric chair because they dared to fight for better conditions than $10 or $12 a week and 60 hours weekly toil and because they dared to de- fend themselves from the brutal at- tanks of emnlower controlled | lified by the refusal of some single country to ratify the pact. The Irish Free State signed the optional clause in the League proto- col, and recognized the right of the League to decide on disputes be- tween the dominions of the British Empire, the same as between other countries. The Irish delegation took this step without waiting, press reports say, for the British delega- tion to decide whether it would ad- mit such chet eC LEAGIE DEFENDS ARABIAN REVOLT Workers to Assist (Continued from Page One) volt of the Arabs against the Zion- ists is in reality a revolt against the economic and political serfdom to which they have been reduced by British imperialism in Palestine. “Tt is in virtue of the anti-imper- ialist character of the struggle that the Arabs of Palestine are receiv- ing the moral and material support of the Arabs of Egypt, Syria and Transjordania as well masses of the Indian people engaged eration from the yoke of British im- perialism, , “The Arab population of Palestine rightly regards the Zionist move- ment as the main instrument of their country. With the help of Zionist, capitalist and fascist organ- izations, the Arabs are being sys- tematically expropriated and im- poverished, and the landless peas- ants condemned to unemployment or reduced to the position of Kulis. “There has therefore naturally arisen a sharp economic conflict be- tween the Arabs and> the Zionist immigrants, leading to bloody riots, in which the latter are armed by the British imperialists and receive their special protection. Imperialist intrigue has succeeded, as it has in India, in giving these economic and anti-imperialist fights the char- acter of religious and cultural riots. It has thus placed the leadership of the movement on both sides in the hands of reactionaries. “In the performance of their function as the lackeys of imperial- ism, the Zionists have received the wholehearted support of the social democratic parties of the Second In- ternational, and more especially of members of the British Labor Party. “As a prelude to this annexation, the present deliberately provoked conflicts between the Arabs and the Zionist fascists are being dexter- ously utilized by the British Gov- ernment in order to strengthen the permanent military and naval gar- rison in Palestine. “The League Against Imperialism its wholehearted support to the workers and peasants of Palestine as of all other Arabian countries, in the struggle for the overthrow of imperialist exploitation and the es- tablishment of real national inde- pendence. “The League Against Imperialism appeals to all its affiliated and as- sociated organizations to extend their active help to the masses in the Arabian countries in their struggle for freedom and to carry on an uncompromising fight against imperialism and against Zionist and social democratic agents of imper- ialism.” ST and gunmen.” Mass collection days throughout the entire land are being prepared for September 21 and 22, the Gas- tonia defense committee stated, which has received many letters tel- ling of intense activities in every part of the land in the coming two day drive, Build Up the United Front of the Working Class From the Bot- tom Up—at the Enterprises! 26 Union Square REGISTER as of the} in a revolutionary struggle for lib-| MASS FUNERAL {meted out to 70 persons tried for in- British imperialist exploitation in| and for National Independence gives | { This marks a moment of victory |tish, if the whole thing is not mh As now { WORKERS | ENGLISH ELEMENTARY INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED jand 4,000 MINERS | STRIKE AGAINST COAL WAGE CUT : UMW DistrictOfficials Are Strike Breaking (Special to the Daily Worker.)

I saw ten or twelve men with guns and rifles.” Others Beaten. After the truck was fired upon an attack was made from other cars, and Hobart White, a young mill striker, received a blow that broke his arm. Another young striker, Mary Goldsmith, had a hole torn in her lip. At the coroner’s hearing, Dave Murray, another striker in the car, identified C. J. Rhodes, a county commissioner, and one of the bosses’ agents in the Bessemer mill named Pell as being among the assassins. As a result of identification by those in the truck, the county ad- ministration was forced to arrest six of the members of the black hundred Loray and South Gastonia mill bosses’ gunmen who did the} shooting. But they are out on only $1,000 bail, though tims, charged with assault, are held on $1,500 bail each. Arrest Driver Too. Those arrested are: L. M. Soss- man, Will Lunchford, Lowery Davis, Theodore Sims, Troy Jones, and F. C. Morrow. Along with them, Lingerfelt, who drive the unionists’ truck, was also arrested, and held on $1,000 bonds, evidently to make it appear that there was a fight in- stead of a deliberate and cowardly murder, by plot and prearrange- ment. J. D. McLellan testified, “I heard the guns pop just as he hit, a car pulled opposite the truck and went on by.” The shot that killed Mrs. Wiggins was fired from this car. The only other woman occupant of the truck was Mary Goldsmith Jones, 17. She was standing very near Mrs. Wiggins when the shot was fired. “The jar of hitting sort of throwed us all together but I saw a man in the field standing and shooting. Bullets was aflying every which way so I ducked afore they. shot me,” Mrs. Jones said.
