The lockout can easily be extended

also to the brother organizations of

of all cuontries and particularly in
Europe must remember that a defeat
for the German building workers
means precedent for an economic

Statement by Group of
Georgian Workers Who
Endorse Soviet Program

MOSCOW, Aug. 2S.-(Tass)-The
Soviet press welcomes the publication
in Paris by group Of Georgian work
ers-formerly members of the men
shevik party-of a declaration, IN
which they call on all their former
party and fellow exiles to leave the
menshevist party and endorse the So
Wet platform.
The appeal points out that Georgian
menshevism, which had, as far back
as 1917, deviated from the revolution
airy path, is ever more drifting away
from the true principles of the labor
movement, and while it is practically
getting closer and closer to the posi-
ton Of enemies of the working class
it stands at the back Of the most dis
graceful anti-proletarian actions. On
the other hand, the authors of the
declaration go on to say, while the
ex-Georgian government and former
menshevist leaders encouraged the
illusions of the Georgian people re-
garding prospective assistance from
Europe, they only instigated Georgia
to oppose the workers of the Soviet
Republics, which actually and effect
lively are the only force on which
Georgia can rely for her economic and
cultural regeneration.
"At a time when our enemies are
organizing a united reactionary block
against the toilers," the appeal runs
in conclusion, "it is the duty of every
worker to rally to the united world
labor front"
The above declaration appeared
over the signatures of influential ex-
members of the central committee Of
the Georgian menshevist party. An
other analogous statement has also
been published by large group of
nonpartisan emigrant Georgian work
ers.

ARES
FRAUDOF open
DOOR IN China
Soviet Daily Exposes U.
S. Policy

MOSCOW, Aug. 28.-(Tass)-conl-
menting on the latest reports about a
wouId-be understanding reached be-
tween Britain and the United States
in regard to an accorded policy in
China, the Izvestia, In an editorial,
emphatically expressed the view that
no agreement could settle the radical
dIssensIon fatally existing between
the British and American policies In
China. This, the Moscow paper re-
marks, is likewise confirmed by COM
ments appearing on this subject in the
foreign press.
Interests Collide.
Indeed, while America holds Mat the
national movement in China can be
suppressed by military force and that
the only way to pacify China is to in
sure her national independence, the
English press, on the contrary, as
serts that the actual movement in
China is merely a repetition of the
Boxer revolt and must be suppressed
by force of arms.
These widely different estimates
are naturally reflected in the differ
ence Of the attitude respectively TAX
en- UP by the two countries towards
China. Ever since the end of the 10Th
century, the main principle Of the
United States Chinese policy was the
so-called open door policy, policy
which, owing to her huge economic
and financial power,t could not fail to
give America every possibility of eco
nomic penetration of China. On the
other hand, England's treaty ports and
other privileges in China are primar-
lily the means of defense against Am
erican competition.
open Door Policy Hits England.
True, the author goes on to say,
Japan has since more recent times
been Americas chief enemy, and it
was against Japan that was directed
the entire system of the Washington
treaties. But today the line of Am
erica's Chinese policy must inevitably
collide the political lines of other pow
ers in China-more particularly that
of England, against whom the main
spear of the open door policy is dir
ected.
Not otherwise than in this light, the
Moscow leading organ observes in
conclusion, can a true estimate be
made of the seriousness and durabil-
ity of the alleged understanding, as
mentioned above.

Austro-Soviet Trade
Grows Despite Foreign
Powers Blockade Talk

MOSCOW, Aug. 2S.-(Tass)-
Moscow papers report. from reliable
sources that attempts by foreign pow
ers to involve Austrian Industrial cir
cles in an economic and financial
blockade against the Union of Soviet
Republics have so far failed. Austro-
Soviet export and import trade is
steadily growing, and even quite re-
Gently important deals have been con-
tracted with Austrian business men
on from to IL months credit basis,
while the Vienna banks, too, have of
late been showing an Increasing inter-
est for business with the U. S. S. R.
and offering various credit operations
on favorable terms.
Russia Supplies Coal, Oil, Wheat.
1t is further learned, for instance,
that the Soviet Trade Mission at VII
emma has been negotiating with tina
Vienna municipal administration with
regard to supplying the municipal or
gans and institutions with all the coal
they need-which would mean about
one million tons Of Donetz (Russian)
coal yearly and that, accordingly,
samples of Russian anthracite coal
have been dispatched to Austria. On
the other hand, there is growing de-
mand from Austria for Soviet wheat
and rye. Then, there is the Soviet oil,
which covers nearly the entire re-
quirements of the more important oil
refining works of Austria and Hun
gary. Negotiations with regard to the
sale Of certain species of Caucasian
wood are continuing. There is much
interest, too, in the export to Austria
Of Soviet agricultural produce, such
as eggs and others, Vienna being also
a central market for the disposal of
Russian medicinal herbs.

Of Austro-Soviet business inter-
course, the Moscow papers note that
due attention is likewise being given
to the matter by the other party,
namely Austrian official and business
circles concerned.

BRITISH EMPIRE STEEL

ned it's coal boats since the war.
The system proved costly expert
ment. Many Chinese outwltted the
guards employed to keep them on
the ships and the company had to
pay heavy fines as we'll as head
taxes.
But the company, assited by the
depression, appears to have achiev-
ed its purpose. Wage rates have
been smashed until Canadian sailors
on the Atlantic coast are once more
preferable to coolies. So for serv-
ices rendered during the war, the
Canadian sailor is coming into his
own again - long hours and a
meager wage.

BRITISH EFFORT
TO BAR NEARING
FALLS THROUGH
Baldwin Reluctant to
Admit Labor Writer

While the Federated Press was pre-
pairing formal protest because Of the
refusal to grant it's special correspond
ent, Scott Nearing, a visa to enter
England, the British government final
ly yielded and stamped the passports.
Evidently it was unwilling to raise the
issue of boycott against labor CORE
spondents.
Nearing applied over month ago
to the British consul in New York for
the usual visa that allows foreigners
to enter England. 1t was refused and
he was told the matter would have to
be referred to headquarters in London.
No reasons were given and the consul
was careful not to commit himself.
When Nearing presented his Federal
ed Press credentials together with spe-
cific instructions from the managing
editor to report the British Trades
Union congress which opens Sept. z,
he was told nothing could be done
about it. After several weeks delay
he paid the consul So to cover hurry
up cable to London, again without re-
suit.
London Seeks Delay.
1t became evident that the British
government, which was then in the
midst of desperate attempts to head
of a general strike on behalf of the
coal miners, did not want representa-
tives of an established American labor
news service in the country. 1t prob
ably reasoned that several months de-
lay on the visa question would permit
the labor crisis to pass and the Trades
Union congress to adjourn before
Nearing made too much of fuss.
Instead, the efforts to obtain the
visa became more vigorous. The con-
sulate in New York shrugged its shout
ders approvingly when Mrs. Nearing,
who had also applied for visa, def
initely suggested that headquarters in
London were stalling.
Nearing to Tour Europe.
Steps to formulate a protest were
then initiated, emphasizing the appar-
ent class discrimination by the British
Conservative government, which adj
mits capitalist foreign correspondents
by the hundreds, yet balks at single
American labor writer.
At last favorable word came from
London. 1t had taken a month to
transact passport formality that
usually takes two minutes. Nearing
will report the British Trades Union
congress and will then proceed to 9TH
er European countries, writing about
labor developments for the Federated
Press.

increase of acreage as against last
years, particulrly in the Andy-Tsitsi-
