MINERS Lead Fight FOR J0BLESS
AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY.

MANY American workers may con-
IVA slider the civil war in China,
something that should not concern
them. The capitalists of this coun-
try are deeply interested in it and
more than likely had hand in the
Inevitable conspiracy that preceded
the hostilities. What concerns the
capitalists also concerns the workers
but for different reasons. The great
capitalist powers are quarreling over
the exploitation of China. This COM
petition has been going on for many
years. Japan insists on a Monroe
Doctrine for the Orient, as the United
States has on the American contin-
ent, but might is right" and while
the United States government is able
to keep the capitalist wolves of the
rest of the world from establishing
new footholds in South America, jap
an is not strong enough to enforce it's
Asiatic Monroe Doctrine.
DUSSIA in the days of the Car
IN was an important factor in
China. The Russo-Japanese war of
1905 was fought over the spoils of that
rich country. Japan won that war
Today Russia is an important factor
in China. But it is different Russia
from that of 1905. The Russia of to-
day has a friendly interest in the
workers and peasants of China, the
hundreds of millions who are exploit
ed by the capitalists of the world.
China is helpless and is easy prey
for the robber capitalists. Generals
are usually on the payroll of some
capitalists group or some foreign
country acting in the behalf of its
capitalists.
CHINA is a nation of 100000, 900
~ people. 1t is tremendously rich
in mineral wealth This great popu-
alton is awakening and Soviet Russia
comes on the scene in the role Of a
friend at moment when the capital
ist wolver are more anxious than ever
to get their fangs in China's neck
Hence the excitement among the dip.
omats of the robber nations.
HHINA recently signed a treaty
~ with Soviet Russia. When it was
announced that this action was to be
taken, Charles Evans Hughes warned
China that such action would not be
considered benevolently by the United
States. But the only favor China
ever received from this country ar
rived on the point of the sword, so
the government took its pen in hand
AMI signed on the dotted line China
then had real friend for the first
time.
RUT the capitalist brigands were
ID not satisfied Their conspiracies
increased. 1t is yet too soon to state
with detailed accuracy the complete
story Of the intrigues Matched by the
United States and other governments
against the Chino-Russian agreement.
But THIS much stands out clearly The
central government of China is the
arget OF threats, warnings and de-
1lands from the capitalist diplomats
n Pe.-ing. The central government
ig more or less powerless to do any
hing except let the two principal gen.
erals who are battling for possession
G, the port of Shanghai fight it out

intention of the capitalist govern
ments to humiliate and embarrass the
present central government in an eff

RADICAL POLICE
CHANGES VIEWED
Civic Expert Understood to-
Favor Zone System.

Recommendation that the city be
divided into four police zones is con.
sidered by Leonard V. Harrison. Cham
Der Of Commerce civic expert, 1t was
said at police headquarters today.
Harrison is surveying the depart
ment.
A central zone to be governed
directly from headquarters would be
bounded by Sixteenth St. White
River McCarty St and State St, it
s understood.
Three other districts would be con.
trolled by lieutenants in centrally
located substations, operating under
under direction from headquarters.
Patrolmen would continue on beats
as at present. but would report to
the zone stations. Motorcycle police
men would be stationed at small
houses in outlying parts of each zone
so they would be nearer sources Of
calls for aid
Harrison also favors civil service
regulation of policemen, 1t is under
stood.

Gated President Millerand would call
upon Poincare to form a new cabinet

the deputies defeated the measure.
Poincare Immediately met with his
ministers and after some discussion
of reforming the cabinet, went to the
Elysee and presented the resignation
of the entire cabinet to the President

chamber came like a thunderbolt from
calm sky. Count De Lasteyria, in
demanding the chamber amend the

the way il had been voted in the Sen

too great expenditure.
Hells OF protest came from the left.
where Communist members, who ap-
proved large pension appropriations,
leaped to their feet.

as a question Of confidence. Amid
great excitement the vote was taken.
