The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-08

Being in Pittsburgh, close by which
is located the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
way shops, at Glenwood, where the In
famous cooperative plan" was first
put across on the railroad shop un-
ions, thought 1t might be Of value to
get a first-hAnd impression OF the
workings Of the Johnston-Beyer YER
sion Of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
With the assistance Of local COM
rade, one Of the machinists working in
the Glenwood shops was finally locat-
ed. For the purpose Of reporting we
will call him Smith"
Smith was not much interested in
the subject Of our question. He seem
ed to be a typical worker, one OF the
two thousand In the Glenwood shops,
with nothing to mark him out from
the others. Formerly an active I'M
ion member, he confessed that he has
attended but one union meeting IN
several months.

with only Is to 20 members there,
nothing to be done, everybody sore
and disguised, and members dropping
out every month. There are plenty
Of grievances to take up in the un-
ion, but the union can't do anything
now. It's hog tied by the 'B. & O.
Plan and can do nothing"
What kind of grievances have you
in the Glenwood shops?"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-08

From the summer of 1922 to the
present time political life in China
has been taken up with the struggle
between the imperialists. The slight
est enfeeblement of Japan, either ma
tionally or internationally, Immediate
ly called forth an attack on the part
of America.
The success of our partisan forces
and our red army against the Japa-
nese agents in the Russian Far East
-Merkulov, Diederich, Kapelev, and
others-and the final liquidation of
the white and black governments in
the Maritime Province, compelled jap
an finally to evacuate our territories.
This reflected on the relation between
Japan and America in China. Ameri-
ca became more aggressive, and in
1928, drove out the Chinese president
Li-Yuan-Hung, and placed in his
stead the tool Of American capitalism,
Tsao-Kun.
The earthquake in Japan last year,
which considerably impoverished and
enfeebled her, aroused American am
billions to liquidate Japanese influence
in China as rapidly as possible. She
is now only awaiting a pretext.
The events which occurred in China
during the last few weeks are in fact
real war in China between Anglo
American and japanese Imperialism.
The same Chinese militarists, Chang
Tso-Lin and Wu-Pei-Fu, are again the
participants in the struggle. They
are again fighting around Shanghai
Kwan where the territorial spheres of
influence of Japan, in Manchuria and
of America and Britain in the Prov
ince of Chill touch on each other.
The present antagonism between the
limperialists in China is far more acute
than in 1922. If only for the reason
that one side is much weaker than
the other At the same time the
Chinese militarists themselves are far
better armed and dispose of far larg-
er armies than formerly. The present
struggle is therefore pregnant of far
greater dangers than any collisions
which have occurred in China in re-
cent times.
Win the imperialists in China go
as far as to make an open conflict be-
tween America and Japan in this pres
ent instance inevitable? We think
that the struggle will not take such
a FORM. Japan, while doing her ut
most to protect her own interests, will
avoid open conflict with America. The
American government, which is facing
a presidential election, will hardly
care to test the attitude Of the work
ers and farmers on the question Of
war.
We imagine that the result Of the
present struggle in China win be an
armed truce in China with a certain

Intervention in China

posing indirect taxation upon certain
articles of general consumption.
And since the government In China
at that time was created by the vic
torious Japanophile group after the
struggle between the armies Of Tuan-
Chi.Jui, who was supported by Japan,
and Generals Tsao-Kum and WI Pei
Flu, who defended the interests Of
Britain and America, and therefore for
a certain period acted more or less
Independently, the revelations of Jap
an compelled the Picking government
thru the minister of foreign affairs,
w. w. Yen, to address an open letter
to Lamont demanding the denial Of
the reports of the acquisitive schemes
of the consortium. The reply was
couched in such form as to leave
the Chinese with not the least doubt
as to the true intentions of the i'm
perialists.
After the scheme for eonsortium
broke down, America came forward
demanding an open door" in China
and the maintenance Of Chinese SOW
ereignity.
The Washington peace" conference
which was held during the second half
of 1921, was summoned by America
under the pretext of defending Chi
nese sovereignty and of limiting naval
ornaments. It's real object however
was to break the Anglo-Japanese
treaty in order to isolate Japan in the
Far East and weaken her influence in
China.
america as we know, only partly
achieved her purpose. The Washing
ton agreement of February, 1922, did
in fact, weaken japanese influence in
China, but by no means to the extent
which was formally proposed to the
conference.
In order to create a situation in
China which would correspond with
the formal victory achieved by Ameri
ca at the Washington conference, II
was necessary to break the real fore
es in China which were supported by
Japan, and to set up Central govern
ment in Picking which would hearker
to Washington and London, and not
Tokyo. And in fact, but few months
after the Washington conference there
broke out in Northern China a bloody
struggle between WI Pei Flu (repre
senting Anglo-American interests
and Chang-Tso-Lin representing Jap
anese interests). The fight continued
until WI Pei Flu obtained certain
superiority over Chang-Tso-Lin: su
periority sufficient to increase the in
nuence OF England and America IN
China, but not sufficient to destroy the
influence Of Japan This situation
reflected the true relation Of forces
between America and Japan at tina
time.

American capital has recently begun
to strive The prospect Of a subsi-
diary means of communication with
Australia from Southern China was
perhaps another bait to America,
whose ambition is to be the first pow
er in the Pacific Ocean. Already great
American merchant vessels regularly
ply in the Pacific, and commercial
connections are being established with
the important centers OF ne Pacific.
The lines between San Francisco, the
Japanese ports, Shanghai, Hong
kong, and the Philippines and back,
have been thoroly organized this year
and America is now seeking passage
to the Chinese ports which is not sub
ject TO japanese domination.
In order to have a free hand in
China, in order to be able to exploit
her most advantageously as a mar
ket. a sphere for investment of eapi-
tai and base from which to extend
her influence over the Southern Pa
cific. America after the world war was
obliged first to reduce the influence
Of Japan.
In pursuance Of this aim America
first of all attempted to defeat Japan
in China by means Of the dollar.
In the spring of 1920, Lamont, the
ranresentatfve of American and Brit
ish banks, came to China with plans
for the formation of a consortium of
bankers, /. O., single international
financial center for the exploitation
of the wealth Of China and for the
industrialization Of the country ac-
cording to a general imperialist
scheme. America, as the richest coun-
try, would naturally play the first
fiddle in the -consortium. This attempt
at a peaceful" solution Of the Ameri-
can-Japanese conflict in China suf-
fered shipwreck at the very outset.
The Japanese government, which ap-
parently at the Versailles conference
gave its consent in principle to the
formation Of such \ eonsortium In
China, was in 1920 unable to fall In
with the public opinion OF the mon
opolists and militarists, she started a
violent campaign against Lamont and
exposed to the Chinese masses the
danger which threatened them from
the united action Of the imperialists.
It appeared, for instance, that as So
curity for the loan which the consorti-
UNI would advance to the Chinese gov
eminent or to individual militarists
the consortium would receive the right
Of levying agricultural taxes on the
Chinese peasants and. moreover,
would get the monopoly right Of i'm
