NEW YORK, March 9—“Cal” and “Al” figured toda¥ in accounts of some of the first discussions of presi- dential prospects to develop since Congress adjourned. While President Coolidge' was boom- |ed for another term at a Republican meeting in New Yofk, Democratic |leaders announced they were already at work in behalf of Gov. Alfred E. Smith and “proposed’ to nominate him.” The boom for the governor was sponsored by George W. Olvany, Tam- many leader, and John F. Carew, chairman of the New York State | Democratic delegation in the Hduse of | Representatives, They expressed their optimism after a conference at Targmany Hall. Enthusiasm for Coolidge. Coolidge enthisiasm was manifested gathering of Kings County Re- publicans, at which the keynote was | sounded by Albert Ottinger, New York | State attorney general, who said the |third term question was refined { form of quibbling.” He added that the {Empire State, which has given Gov. {Smith four terms, would be in the | vanpuard for Coolidge. | The men boomed kept sileht as to | their availability. ,“I am staying here in Albany and} 'aftending to my own business and [that of the people of the State,” was Gov. Smith’s only comment. | From Chairman Oldfield of the Democratic congressional campaign committee in Washington came a re- mark as to President Coolidge’s plan to spend the Summer somewhere in the , in the region where the boom o Frank O Lowden has been promi- especially since President Cool- s veto of the farm relief bill. Old- | field said the President’s plan “wouid ! naturally sugget that it was prompted by an intention to angle for votes in- ead of fish.” * Sees Governor as “Favorite.” At the Tammany Hall discussion Olvany said that while Gov. Smith had in no way indicated whether he would be a candidate, reports from all sections of the country showed that the governor was a favorite for the Dembcratic nomination. | Representative Carew predicted | Smith “will get some delegates from Texas,” while® other party leaders said they-had received reports that Gov. Dan Moody of Phat State had been mentioned as a running mate for the New York Governor and would confer with him:soon at Albany. Thanks_for the .compliment,” said Gov. Moody when the report reached | him in San Antonio, “but who i3 go- 'ing to pay the railroad fare! | Plans for the 1928 major party con- ventions also figured in the news.

BY UPTON CLOS China is leaping ahead a mili- tary power, but she has an even more effective weapon against the western nation. Milleniums before Capt. Boy- cott gave his name to a system of bloodless warfare i Ireland the Chinese were adepts in its use. British and Japanese can testify to their terrible effectiveness and Amer- icans had a taste of it in 1884 in retaliation for the exclusion act. To it has now been added labor demon- stration, the whole having been dubbed by the Russian advisers “the economic’ weapon.” At Hankow, the week after Christ- mas, the British were forced out of their concession by the clever appli- cation of this weapon. Factory hands, houseboys and rickshaw coolies employed by the white man were organized through methods taught by Michael Borodin into unions which constantly demon- strated and increased their demands on the residents. The foreigner was boycotted. He could sell nothing, buy nothing, get nge nsportation. Chinese' electricians closed down the light plant, the waterworks followed suit. Wh oda boys refused to serve this -giving concoction of the Orient. Slop carriers failed to remove refuse. age systems in most Chinese cities Life became unbearable. The resi- dents left. Concession Held by Chinese. British marines landed to aid the little police force in protecting prop- erty. Labor “brotherhoods” from outside the Concession demonstrated in sympathy and clashed with the marines who tried to keep them out of its bounds. Then the Nationalist army intervened to prevent a clash between the Chinese and the for- eigners and occupied the Concession. The army is still there. Gulld or Union action was used by the Chinese mandarins against the East India Company traders in 1830-40. It was carried a step for- ward when Hongkong bakers put arsenic in the bread of their lordly white customers: a precipitating in- cident of the second British war. But in those days Chinese workers leaders’ schemes half-heartedly. Today they respond with enthusiasm and per- fect organization. Borodin's art of propagandizing the masses makes the difference. Also the boycott is controlled as responsively as an army. Follow- ing ‘the shooting of Chinese students in Shanghai- May 31, 1925, Russian advisers sald to the Nationalists: “Keep your heads. Don't boycott the Japanese. Be especially nice to the Americans for the time being. Direct your drive against the Brit- ish. They are the nation that ca(me, selzed and stayed, and all other nations have built upon their suc- cesses. Once you- beat them down, the whole fabric of imperialist power in China collapses.” Laugh Turned on British The rich, arrogant colony at Hongkong laughed. In three s nths it had_lost $75,000,°00, and 2uy firms range of speculation among Republi- cans ran as far West as San Fran- clsco.

By the Assoclated Press. AUSTIN, Tex., March 9.——James E. Ferguson, former Texas governor, belleves that Senator James A. Reed of Missouri would make a stronger Democratic candidate for the presi- dency than either Gov. Al Smith of New York or William G. McAdoo. Ferguson described the senior Mis- souri Senator as a man ‘“as brave as Caesar, able and fearless as Henry Clay and as honest as Paul.” He declared that Reed could carry every State that Gov. Smith or Mc- Adoo could, as well as States that neither of them could hope to win. Senator Reed is anti-prohibitionist, anti-Ku Klux Klan and anti-League of Nations, and there would be no doubt of his carrying the South like there would be if Smith was nominated, Ferguson contluded Fifteenth Qnake at Santiago.

After seven months the Brit- |ish agreed to acquiesce in Canton’s imposition of customs taxes—prac- tically anything else Canton de- manded—if only they might be al- lowed to come and trade again. How far their power had sunk is shown by the fact that the new taxes to which they assented were intended to construct a port at Whampoa, which the young Canton leaders de- signed should eventually eliminate Hongkong. Recently Chinese seamen on the Pacific modernized their old guild into a union. They demanded some additions to their $14 a month pay, and recognition of their organization. They were refused, their headquar- ters at Hongkong outlawed, their officials imprisoned. They could not holdout, said the shippers. But they | took their ships into Hongkong, left for Canton and went back to the farms, where their elder brothers, who had inherited the land were, under Chinese custom, bound to feed . them. Soon most of the shipping was tied up. Hongkong faced ruin. The shippers gave in. And the Governor Came Down. “All right,” said the seamen, “If the governor of Hongkong will come down off the peak and open the head- quarters which he closed, and him- self sit as guest with the union men he imprisoned to celebrate the occa- sion. The governor came down. hina’s foreign trade today is ol haif of Germany Of it America has one-third, and has greatly benefitted by the boycott of Great Britain. The Chinese are as ready to apply the boycott to us, bringing our trade to | a dead stop, as to the British if we give provocation. The Nationalist government heads are now having some difficulty in curbing the unions they have created. Labor Dispute Commission would be given absnlute power to arhjtrate strikes. Ai the same time the unions are used by the government as semi- official organs. Mr. Soong, for in- stance, was collecting a tax of 2 cénts on each meal eaten in a restau- rant in Canton by giving the waiters’ | union 10 per cent of the collections. | How Propaganda Is Carried On. Propaganda is another bloodless | weapon which is used with great force. It is carried on as effectively in the army as among the workers Every junior officer is held respon- sible for indoctrinating his men in the party creed, which is, briefly, international equality, unification and economic development with Chinese controlled money; really, China for the Chinese. He must also hold night schools for the villagers of occupied territory. Nationalist propaganda is spread by every student, many merchants and some workers. It prepared Wu Pei-fu's armies. to go over to Can- ton's armies and has prepared Shanghai to rise under its rulers whenever the Nationalist forces ap- proach.. As soon as a general joins the Nationalist cause he is given more money and less power and his army made safe by being petty-offi- cered with the fervent young cadets of thé Whampoa military school. The cause—the creed—Is bigger than any man in it. “I may be as- sassinated, Gen. Chiang may be de- feated, we may go to pleces through party dissension,” were Mr. Soong’s parting words, “but we have founded a cause and demonstrated an or- ganization which will neyer stop now until it is supreme, regardless of what personnel it works through at that time.” Mr. Close will tell in his next article how the Chinese movement is affected by the Bolshevik influ- ence and how it is not.

WOULD DROP COLOR LINE'IN PRIMARIES Blease Urges South Carolina| to Modify Statutes Follow- ing Ruling on Texas. By the Associated Press. COLUMBIA, 8. C., March 9.—| Polinting- to the Supreme Court's| dectsion this week on the Texas pri- mary law as his reason, United States Senator Cole L. Blease told the State House of Representatives last night that the Legislature should immediately move to eliminate from the primary status in this Stafe all references to race or colol “You must act,” he declared. “Don’t put it off until next session.” Coming into the hall of the House as a spectator, the Senator was in vited to speak. He described his opposition to the Reed investigation resolution, which precipitated the fili- buster in the closing hours of the Senate, and his votes in favor of seating Vare and Smith as inspired by his determination to fight any- thing threatening “white supremacy. Public Mislead, He Says. “In order to mislead the public, he declared, “it was said that he who opposed the Reed slush fund resolution was upholding fraud. But the principle involved was far greater and nobler—the question of W te | supremacy in the United States. | The {ssue, he asserted, is the right, of the people to say who shall repre- sent them in the Senate. “If that resolution had become law,” the Senator went on, “that commit-| tee, composed of men not in sympathy with vou, men whose States give ne- groes equal rights with white men | and white women, would have been | privileged to go into any State Where | an election for the Senate was held in 1 and take the ballot . boxes to have the ballots Washington to counted.” Cites Campaign of 1876, Even in 1876, Senator Blease said, | “when the presidency was' stolen for | | Rutherford B. Hayes,” the equivalent | of this proceeding was not attempted. | “If we tolerate this,” he sald, our i sovereign power is gone, because it's i left to the Senate to count the votes.' His votes for Vare and Smith, he asserted, were based on the same prin ciple—th ‘s of a State to send whom f{t ;. to represent it in the United States Senate, a body that “is not as distinguished now as it once was,” in his opinion. The Senate should seat any man with the proper credentials, he declared, and then it fraud s proved against him he should be ejected. Reservists Get Leave.
