which British capitalists recently con-
cluded an Anglo-German electrical
trades agreement on a vast scale.
The Dollar Must Be safeI
Another serious danger Of war lies
in the increasingly heavy American
investments in European industries
and resources. These investments
are made on the basis of securing
handsome profits. Such profits can
be secured only thru lowering the
wages, lengthening the hours of labor
and in general lowering the standards
of living among the German and
other European masses. These work
ing masses may revolt against such
degrading conditions Of life and en-
ployment. Such revolt will endan.
ger the security and safety of the
American capitalist investments.
Herein we have the cause for military
and naval invasion of Europe on the
heels Of the dollar invasion.
This is the full meaning of the diff
fculty Of the American financial in.
terests getting adequate guarantees
for their investments. In this light
the following declaration was recently
made by Mr.. Charles E. Mitchell of
the National City Bank apropos of
American participation in the first
Dawes loan: I'VE have taken the
precautions that were necessary. 1t

ace involved in the transaction.
OF course, in view of the extent to
which the American government has
gone in helping put over the Dawes
plan, there is every reason on earth
to conclude that the Washington ad
ministration will consider the protec
ton Of Yankee capitalist investments
not only as a legitimate preoccupa
ton but as a matter Of paramount
duty.
Standards Of Living Endangered.
Last but not least we should reckon
with the effects of intensified inter
national capitalist competition on the
standards of living of the workers Of
every country. In order to help safe

able effect on the workers employed
in the industries concerned in the
other countries.
This explains why the British Min.
ers' Federation has declared that the
Dawes plan is against the welfare Of
the mine workers. That is why even
so reactionary labor leader as Frank
Hodges, civil lord of the admiralty,
has been compelled to speak of the
Dawes plan in this fashion: 'Now
that the German workers have sue
cumbed, our own capitalists whine
and squeal that the hours of the
British worker must be heightened,

Unite Against Soviet Russia.
Should the workers of any one
country or groups Of countries resist
effectively, to the point of revolt,
these encroachments on their living
and employment conditions, such re-
sistance would be signal for uni
fed imperialist attack against the
working class. The moment the on
slaught on the working masses by the
capitalists takes on such a form,
there will be percipitated another
world war. Worse than that. Once
the international capitalist imperial.
lists even believe with some degree OF
sureness that they have succeeded
in unifying their ranks, then there is
every likelihood of a renewal of the
dastardly campaigns of yesterday
against Soviet Russia.
But the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, where the working and
poor farming masses under the lead
ership of the Communist Party, have
established their own government
will never allow itself to be turned
into a coolie colony Of the interna
tional capitalists.

the British imperialists. Recently
Great Britain re-imposed duty of 26

The British Colonial Corporation
Ltd, one of the biggest banks in Eng

of September 10, 1924 that it will not
subscribe to the Dawes loan because
of its fear that the industrial recov-

ATHENS, Oct. 16.-A mani

Greece to prepare to fight the
new government which has
been formed under the leader
ship of the democratic premier,
MichaIacopouIos has been sent
out by the pan-hieIIenic confer
ence, an organization in which
all of the labor bodies of Greece
are represented.
The conference, which is be-
ing held in Salonica this week,
has exposed the treachery of
the government in it's policy to-
wards the large groups of,work-
ers recently on strike-the rail-
road workers, the printers, the
bakers and a section of the
sailors.
The former government, headed by
6ofoulis, had agreed to accede to the
demands which the General Confed-
Grafton of Labor had made for the
strikers. The Michalacopoulos gov.
eminent, on coming into power, has
definitely refused to carry out the
agreements.
Predict Fascist Rule.
The general conviction prevails
among the workers that the present
government is the last parliamentary
government that Greece willhave-that
a rule of Fascism is at hand With
in the Fascist ranks, the royalist Me-
taxas and General Kondyles, who now
holds the position of minister of the
interior, are struggling for absolute
control of the Fascist movement.
Their avowed purpose is to save
Greece from the Communists"
An important factor in the Commu-
mist propaganda feared by the Fascist
OF. Greece is the formation Of Commu-
mist nuclei within the ranks OF the
university students, great many of
whom are members of the Communist
Party or are sympathetic to it. The
students are sent from one city to
another to speak to the workers. That
the government is watching closely
activities of these students is evidenc-
ed by the fact that police all over the
country have been instructed to watch
for them.
Communists Appeal to the Workers.
The Communists are now agitating
among the workers to refuse support
of the government in case of war be-
tween Bulgaria and Greece.

BRITISH Kill
TWO CHINESE
UNION HEADS
Official Protests Made
No Impression
(sy Federated Press.)


SHANGHAI, China, Oct. 49,
A sample of the kind of British
Justice that obtains in China at
the present time was illustrated
in connection with the death Of
Edwin c. Hawley, an American
citizen, last June.
On the evening of June 10,
1924, Hawley was pulled aboard
a British gunboat at Wan-Hsieh
in state of collapse, and died
soon afterwards.
No investigation
It was assumed, without any inves-
tigation into the matter, that he had
been beaten by Chinese junkmen and
thrown into the water.
On this assumption the commander
of the British gunboat sent an III
timatum to the Chinese authorities
that unless two of the junkmens un.
ion officials were promptly executed
on the waterfront, he would blow
the town to pieces. In the face of
this display of force, the Chinese
authorities had to consent.
After a futile protest on the part
of the Chinese magistrate, two union
leaders were taken to the beach and
publicly beheaded. The British COM
mander defended his action by con-
tending that it was necessary to make
an example of these men. For his ac-
ton he was. thanked by the American
organizations in China.
On July 8, circular telegram was
issued by rs members of the Pekin
parliament denouncing the atrocious
action of the British gunboat com
mander. 1t was stated in the tel
egram that inquiries proved that
Hawley had fallen into the water
while trying to board the China Steam
Navigation Co.'s vessel Wan-Liu and
had not been beaten by junkmen. The
telegram concluded:
Merits Condemnation
"Such high-handed policy as this
merits the Just condemnation of the
Chinese people, and arouses the
whole nation to anger. Great Britain
and the United States have recently
seen fit to browbeat China, they have
now gone to the limit when the cap
tain of a British gunboat threatened
to lombard a Chinese city and de-
mand the instant execution of two in
nocent citizens. We denounce this
lawless and barbarous conduct, and
we should, one and all, rise in vigor.
Gus protest against this lawlessness."
The outstanding points are that two
men who had no connection with the
affair were publicly executed; the de-
ceased was not British subject, and
the British commander went beyond
his rights and all the precepts of inter
national law in creating himself judge
and jury; no attempts was made by
the officer to inquire into the rights
or wrongs of the affair. and no at
tempt was made to bring the alleged
culprits to justice. It is not even al
legged that the men executed had any.
thing to do with the affair, yet they
paid with their lives.

ment being that Florence Kelley,

The Boston mayors turnabout on
the amendment came close on the
heels of its denunciation by the Catho-
lie hierarchy of this diocese. Cardi-
nal O'Connell, who led the Catholic
fight on the amendment used the term
Sovietism. He says he believes in
state laws regulating the labor of
children but fears a proposal to give
the national government authority to
pass anti-child labor laws might lead
to the invasion of homes to see
whether the children were working,
even doing chores.
