That is the opinion expressed by
one 19-year-old boy, in the controversy
started by the ex-college man who
criticized young girls of today.
This boy admits 'the average boy
will go just as far as the girl will let
him." But he blames both boys and
girls for what he terms the present

IN CHINA
British Prime Minister

passed by the last session of the I'm
tied States congress. These laws have
merely added fuel to a fire already
burning.
At present this struggle for control
over China between the imperialists
of the so-called Great Powers is man
Iiiesting itself partly in the war of the
Chinese Generals.
What is this war about? We shall
leave out of present consideration one
angle Of this war preserving the matter
for treatment in a future article)
which is the conspiracy of all of the
foreign imperialists, in alliance with
the Chinese reactionaries, to over
throw the onalist-revolutionary
government of San-Yat-Sen at Canton,
Southern China. Then, there remains
what? A war between two generals.
Their names are: Wu-Pei-Fu and
Tchan-Tzo-Lin. The field of battle at
present is Shanghai and the surround
ings. The stakes are the possession
and control OF the provinces of Central
and Northern China.
There are the bare facts. But what
his the real meaning and significance
of this war Of generals? Well, it has
two angles. One is internal, that is,
various sections of the Chinese bour-
geoisie are struggling for power
among themselves and are rallying for
this purpose to one or another, of the
warning generals.
The other angle is external. It is
the fact that one Of these generals is
supported by one set of foreign imper-
ialists and the other general is sup
ported by another set of foreign i'm
perialists. More concretely: The i'm
perialists Of the United States and
England are supporting general WI
Pei-Fu, while Tchan-Tzo-Sin is sup
ported by the imperialists Of Japan.
In other words one of the phases
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-04

by the insistence and pressure of the
capitalists and the government Of the
United States.
Now. how do you suppose did the
Japanese capitalists feel about it?
Rotten, indeed. And then, on top of
all this, came the earthquake of last
year which still further decreased the
lighting abilities of the Japanese i'm
perialists.
So, there you are. The capitalists
of America in the bloom of their
power, debating and imposing terms
upon Europe, hurrying headlong and
triumphantly into the further conquest
of the Pacific, and securing for them
selves an ever larger share of the i'm
perialist spoils in China. On the other
hand, the capitalists of Japan: weak
ened, hamstrung and blocked in their
expansion. The result? Very simple.
A grim determination on the part of
the capitalists of Japan to prepare in
all possible ways for life and death
struggle against the imperialists of
America.
The Wars Of Chinese Generals.
To repeat: 1t is the conquest Of
China that is at stake in the Amer
lican-Japanese relations and not the
exclusion laws against the Japanese

NEW YORK, Oct 3.-In spite Of
attacks by army and navy officers
which declare that the play Inter
feres with recruiting for the marine
corps" What Price Glory?" continues
to play to packed houses who do not
seem to mind the omission of a few
of the worst oaths attributed by the
producer to some of the best citi-
zens." Sydney G. Gumpertz, manag-
ing editor Of Empire State Legionaire
and state historian American Legion,

a letter to one Of the authors of the
play, Lawrence Stallings, in which
Gumpertz, after giving his war record
in full, denounces the dramatist and
declares that he has ''insulted every
living soldier and profaned our hon
ored dead" Gumpertz concluded by
saying ''if some marines were like
this, then l thank God that l was in
the army"

any complaint was raised and did not
take action against it, 1t now rests
in his hands whether he will order

many was pushing ahead with all her
might, and so were France and Russia
and Japan. The days of Americas
financial world power were yet to
come.
But, nevertheless, the conflict be-
tween America and Japan was on. 1t
has been more than two decades since
Japan has become, to use term of the
traditional diplomacy, the natural en-
envy" of the United States. Which
means in human language that the
imperialist ambitions of the Japanese
capitalists presents stumbling block
to the same ambitions of the capital
lists of America, this stumbling block
ito be overcome and destroyed.
Here is in nutshell the old story of
the basis of the mutual relations be-
tween the capitalists of America and
the capitalists of Japan.
Postwar American Diplomacy in
China
The real business of clipping the
wings Of Japanese imperialism in
China by the capitalists of America
began soon after the conclusion of
the late war. We needn't go now in
to much detail. Suffice it to say that
since the days of the peace" Confer
ence at Versailles the capitalists OF
America have succeeded in the fol-
lowing:
Japan has been compelled to return
to China some OF the annexed pro-
vinces.
Japan has been compelled to relin-
quish great portion of her virtual
protectorate over the rest of China.
Japan has lost her alliance with
England because of the demand of the
United States.
Japan has been compelled to accept
the naval ratio of 5:6:3.
All of which has been brought about

on the road to their final goal
have already secured such monumen-
tai acquisitions, to mention only a
few, as the Philippines, the Caribbean
islands, and the Panama Canal.
The capitalists of the United States
shall rule the Pacific!-this has been
and still is the militant slogan of the
growing and fattening American i'm
perialism. The policy of the so-called
Open Door in China is merely camou-
iage for the plundering expeditions
Of American imperialism into the
countries of the Far East.
Japanese Capitalism in China
Japan is neighbor Of China, every
body knows that At the time when
Japan was still in alliance with Eng
land, the future looked very bright to
the capitalists of Japan, the latter
has been securing practical control
over number of Chinese provinces.
and jointly with the British was grad
ually establishing a virtual protector
ate over the whole of China.
This did not at all please the cap
italists Of America. But what could
they do? Very little to change con-
ditions materially. England was still

capital is remote and it's transactions
cannot be so easily observed. That
is why American capital can come to
Europe and play there the role of a
pacifier. And then its powerl This
colossal, fabulous, unheard of wealth
which so appeals to the vanity of the
petty bourgeoisie, to the vanity of the
social-democrat.
And here l might tell you, by the
way, something Of my own experiences
with representatives of American cap
ital. During the last year, due to my
official position, l had the occasion to
talk to some American senators, re-
publican and democratic. Their ap-
pearance and manner betrays appal-
ing provincialism. am not even GER
tain whether or not they are well &C
quainted with the geography of Eur
ope. Out of politeness let us assume
that they are. But when they discuss
politics, they talk like this: II told
Poincare," II remarked to Curzon,"
Il explained to Mussolini." They feel
themselves in Europe as leaders and
bosses. Thus we can find some newly
Matched millionaire, some manufac-
turer of condensed milk or OF other
canned products speaking with an air
Of condescension to the most respon-
sible bourgeois political leaders Of
Europe. And it is because of this fact
that some maneuvers of the British
bourgeoisie calculated to preserve her
leadership in Europe, may prove to be
faulty. But on this subject OF Great
Britain shall speak in my next
article.
