CHINESE NOTES
WORRY The JAPS
Hint Tokyo May Back
Manchurian War Lord
Especial to The Daily Worker)

AOPcNidl u lHc lazy FOFkeFl
PICKING. Sept. 12.-Japan is re-
ported to be alarmed over the ex-
change Of notes between London and
Washington on the Chinese situation
The Tokyo government, in a semi-ofi-
cial dispatch automatically objects to
being left out in the cold and just
las automatically hints that if Charles
Evans Hughes and Ramsay MacDon-
aid find it to their advantage to back
WI Pei Flu, general in command Of
the central government forces, the
Nikado might feel it good business
to offer General Chang, war lord of
Manuchuria, satchel full Of gold
yen.
Rain Holds Up Fighting.
The military competition between
the rival Chinese tuchuns for the ia.
vors of the capitalist powers are held
up owing to the rain. A significant
sidelight on the character of the Chi
nese rulers can be seen from the fact
that the bandit chiefs are we'll sup
piled with funds while the only out
standing Chinese leader who has the
welfare of his people at heart, DR..
Sun Vat Sen, hasn't enough funds to
treat his troops to a rice soup-break-
fast. The armies of the other bandits
march on their stomach, but so far as
the bankers are concerned, Suns
! troops must live on their nerves.
The rival generals are taking adj
vantage of the lull in fighting due to
the rain, to visit the fighting fronts.
Like their Occidental co-workers in
the field of organized murder for
profit, the Chinese generals are to be
found where the communicates fly
thickest and they only visit the front
when the enemy is all out of shot.
Chinese generals are good insurance
risks.
Fu Has Long Finger.
| The Picking government is now in
the hands of a military council. This
is believed to be development of
the Hughes and Macdonald policy.
The minister of finance is endeavor-
ing to raise funds for military pur-
poses. Funds will not be lacking if
WI Pei Flu carries out his part of the
bargain, and there being no richer
capitalist countries than the United
States and England, it is likely that
he will.
Chang on the March.
According to reports received here,
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian
war lord, began the movement Of his
advance guard southwark today to-
ward the Manchurian border for an
invasion of Chilli and the ultimate
capture of Picking. The report said
the main body Of troops would follow
tomorrow.
The Picking government issued a
formal statement declaring none Of its
troops were concentrated along the
Manchurian border.

Fred r. Stilnicki, an active member
of the Hold Carriers Union, who was
shot in the thigh as he was about

1t is known that Stilnickis active
participation in his union has been a
bone in the throat of certain elements
in his union. When his election as
president of his local was imminent,
they became desperate. They sent
all kinds of warnings to him to keep
away from the election meeting. AS
late as an hour before he left his
home he received telephone call
saying he would surely meet his death
if he attended the meeting.
Thugs Employed to Shoot.
One Of the thugs employed to do
the shooting is alleged to have been
sentenced less than a year ago to the
penitentiary for twenty-five years on
charge of murder, but he was par
doned after serving few months of

that any citizen who failed to

foolish to try to arrest citizens"
Threats of Arrests.

"Questions of higher wages

justify their taking five hours of

McAndrew and the Teachers

Treasury Secretary Described
By Writer as 'Connoisieur of
Art BY Avocation'
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Andy
Mellon, on his vacation trip abroad,
is spending mere time at the Ma
tional Gallery Of Art in London
than he is at the Bank of England
And over in Paris, he will de-
vote more hours to admiration Of
the works Of art in TIE Louvre
than to consideration of the French
budget and the PREPARATIONS prob
lem.
For while he is by vocation a
capitalist, Mellon is by avocation a
connoisseur Of art, AS the former,
naturally, he is an expert on those
masterpieces of the engraver's art
turned out down at the Bureau of
Engraving, where Uncle SAINTS cur
rency and bonds are produced.
He doesn't permit his love for
the higher art to diminish in the
slightest his admiration for a hand
somely designed banknote.
But, like the senior j. P. Morgan.
who will be remembered no less as
an art collector and critic than as
financier, Mellon finds his real
enjoyment in his advancing yeas
