BRITISH GAIN
THRU Peril OF
FRENCH in RIFF
Unite in Opposition to
Nine-POwer Conference
lspeoIaI to The DaIIy worksrl

LONDON, July 1e-The perilous
situation Of France, faced with utter
defeat in the Riffian war and drawing
near the edge Of financial precipice
in the new "gold loan" has aided the
British government in successfully
putting over her pet imperialistic
schemes for a united front against
Soviet Russia in the West and an
other against both China and Soviet
Russia in the East
Apparently by gaining the defec-
ton of France from Americas pro-
posal to call the nine powers into
conference to consider" extra-terri-
toriality in China she has check
mated American imperialism's own
crafty move to lessen British infiu-
ence in China and aid her own by
posing as China's friend.
Fight coolidge's Conference.
1t is now Britain and France lead
ing the opposition to any conference,
against the United States and Japan,
with Japan under the surface playing
her own game and threatening to up
set all calculations by possible sud
den flop into Pan-Asiatic bloc
against her rival imperialists who all
happen to be occidentals, but whose
first and original sin is being rivals
for control of China.
However, for the time being, Japan
stands between England and America
as a friend of both apparently acting
as mediator for their strongly con
flicting interest and agreeing with
them upon general policy of opposi
tion to the Chinese liberation move
ment.
Exploits Race Prejudice.
Britain is making the most of race
prejudice and by cunning propaganda
is seeking to turn the imaginary "yel
low peril" Of the Sunday supplements
against Soviet RrSsia. The Creates
Significance is agsxched here to th'
German answer toothe French security
note, which is expected to lay the ba
sis for Chamberlain's cherished ambi
ton TO bring Germany along will
France and the group or puppet ma
tions on the Soviet frontier, to an
accord based uponaa new war against
Soviet Russia whenever Britain says
the word.
France, thrown into danger by the
Morocco defeats sand nearly bank
rupt, has evidently been won over
to follow British lead in evacuatine
the Rhur-shee9 aneeds the troops
badly in Africa--and giving the Ger
man reactionaries ut Berlin the op
portuity to come into the "securit,
pact"-realiy a united front agains
Soviet Rpssia-on the grounds tina
France is laying aside policy of re
venge.
France also has felt the need of
fight against Soviet Russia, as tn,
influence of the Soviet power hal
touched her vital spots in Morocco,
and China and menaces her colonia
interests in Indo-Chfna.
Links Yellow and Soviet Peril.
The fight against what AusteI
Chamberlain calls the yellow peril
includes according to mis- own state
ment, the fight against Soviet Rus
STA, which he says has betrayed it
white heritage" His reason, how
ever, is more truly expressed in tn
fact that Soviet Russia has renounce
all unequal treaties with China an
other oppressed nations formerly i'm
posed by the czars and has held tina
these oppressed Jnationalities an
races have a right to full self deter
mination and repudiated the clair
that the white" imperialist nation
have any god-given right to oppres
and exploit the darker and defense
less races.
Chamberlain naively states that tn
Germans must Join his proposed from
against the yellow peril as German
are better than Latins in having /"
keener color sense,' to which remar
some scofiing laborites have said tina
the Germans also make better arti
lery and ammunition than the Latin,
