Q CAMUEL GOMPERS was in the pub
~ lie eye and the public ear to con-

made q vigorous attack on Bolshevism,
declaring that American recognition OF
the Russian soviets would constitute
needless and base betrayal Of civillza.
tion." He denounced the BOlshevist
propaganda In this country and assert
ed that he had ample proof to substan-
tiate the charges that Red" millions
have been sent to America for propa-
ganda purposes and that "W. q. Fos-
ter, who had no money, went to Mos
COW and came back and announced
that he was building a great secret
machine to undermine the American
labor movement and turn 1t over to the
Red internatiOnale, owned by Lenin.
He began publication Of an expensive
magazine and proclaimed a thousand
secret agents in q thousand cOmmuni-
ties"
A few days later Mr.. Gompers was
one of the principal speakers at
mass meeting called by the New York
branch of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, and in his ad-
dress said that Labor must make the
fight now, and we will never stop fight
ing until the rights Of the people have
been restored to them" Continuing,
he said: 81 and the federation repre-
sent are in favor of beer and light
wines and against any attempt to en-
force sumptuary laws aimed at per-
sonal liberty. Temperance was the
rule Of the great mass Of organized
labor. but the prohibltionlsts and the
so-called Anti-SaloOn Leaguers have
done more to undermine the morality

N URING most of last week the
- predicted battle between Gems.
WI Pei-Fu and Chang Tsao-Lin ragged
In the vicinity of Peking. Judging
from the dispatches, WI was having
the best of the conflict. The casual
ties were rather heavy. On Wednes-
day President Hsu made another eff
fort to stop the hostilities, calling to
the attention Of the rival commanders
the fact that the foreign diplomats had
protested three times against the
fighting and had warned of serious con-
sequences to China should foreigners
suffer from the hOstilities. Almost all
the plans regarding China made at the
Washington conference have been sus-
pended because of the warfare. The
Chinese press is almost a unit in de-
crying the fighting, asserting that 1t IS
only harmful to the country, which
ever side wins. Early in the week
General Chang issued statement
that General WI had been killed by
artillery fire. This has not been con-
firmed.
Sun Vat Sen, head Of the South
China government at Canton. asserted
he had combined with General Chang
and would soon start for northern
China. Suns own government was
weakened by the detection Of Gen.
Chen Chiung-Mln. who resigned the
governorship Of Kwantung.

Teachers Council Talks Of Contract.
The advisability OF contract bind
ing teachers for more than one year
was one Of the subjects Of discussion
by the teachers council at its meet
ing. No definite action was taken
on this matter but it was referred to
the committees on Standardization
and compensation the committees to
look into the matter and report at
the next meeting Of the council.
Other topics Of discussion at this
meeting were the matter of Standard
zation of salaries on the basis of eff
ficiency of the teacher.

subject Of reparations was excluded,
and then detailed a number of the pro-
posals which he said Russia would not
accept.
1t Is quite apparent that what the
soviet government wishes Is not gen.
eral agreement with Europe, but sep
arate treaties with the powers, such as
she already has with Germany. 1t
probably could do this with Great
Britain and Italy and the neutral ma
tions, and probably with some other
powers, and France and Belgium
would be left in an uncomfortable po-
sition. And Russia will be able to
lay ON France the blame for the fall
ure of the Genoa conference.
Soviet Russla's defiant attitude to-
ward the world was demonstrated In
the May day doings at Moscow. Leon
TrOtzky, minister Of war, reviewed
100000 most excellently equipped and
drilled soldiers, and in an address de-
clared that Russia will resist until
her last drop Of blood Is shed any at
tempts of the capltalistlc governments
to enslave her."
France consented to sign the nonag-
gression pact proposed by Lloyd
George on three conditions: That
every European nation signed; that
Russia agreed to recognize all her
existing boundaries for ten years, and
that France surrendered none Of her
rights to take action to enforce the
Versailles treaty. The Russians re-
jected the second Of these and the
Germans the third.

ESPITE the hard working propa-
~ gandists, the American admins
tration shows no signs Of willingness
to take part at present In all these
European negotiations. Its position
concerning Russia was made clear by
Secretary of State Hughes in his reply
to delegation of the Women's Inter-
national League for Peace and Free
dom which asked him to advocate the
immediate recognition of the soviet
regime. Mr.. Hughes told the women
that recognition is in the control of
those who dominate the affairs of Rus
sia, and would be accorded only to a
government competent to discharge its
international relations and demonstrate
ing disposition to discharge them.
He added that there are no legal OBJ
stacles to trade with Russia.

IN THE United States the most In
teresting event Of the week was the
defeat of Senator Harry S. New for
denomination in the Indiana Republic
an primaries by former Senator Albert
]. Beveridge. Since New was running
on the record of the national admins
tratlon his failure was looked on as
something Of a blow to that admins
tration and the regulars" In the SEN
ate were frankly disappointed. Sena-
tor Mccormick, chairman Of the Re-
publican senatorial committee, how
ever, said the committee had taken no
part In the contest and would support
the nominee energetically. Mr.. Bev-
eridge served twelve years In the SEN
ate and was leader In the Progressive
party movement. He made his cam
paign on such planks as demands for
the repeal Of the Adamson law, repeal
or amendment Of the Sherman law,
adoption of a sales tax and the promo
tion of greater efficiency and wiser
economy in government.
Samuel Ralston, former governor Of
Indiana, easily won the Democratic
nomination, and in him Beveridge Will
find a strong contender for the senate
seat. 1t may be that modification Of
the Volstead act will become promi-
nent issue of the campaign.

THAT France fully expects Germany
to default on the reparations Is
indicated by statement in Sketch of
London, which says 1t has learned
from reliable French source that
preparations are being made for i'm
mediate mobilization of the 1913 class
of reserves, numbering about 10000.
Mr.. Lloyd George gave up his plan for
a meeting Of the nations signatory to
the Versailles treaty in Genoa to take
up the matter of enforcing the German
payments, but still hopes 1t may be held
elsewhere. The French insist that no
such meeting be held with after May 81.
