Mellon does not desire to send his

CLASH OF RADIO

Wilbur Calls Halt to Low

WASHINGTON d. c., June a.
Secretary of the navy Wilbur has con-
firmed reports that he ordered the
U. S. naval officers with the Mac
MILAN artic expedition, now at Sgd
ney, Nova Scotia, to abandon the trip
unless Donald B. Macmillan, the com
mander, agrees to use the navy's radio
equipment.

pany manufactures low wave length
radio sets and it was these which
Macmillan had intended using.
Wilbur ordered the destroyer Put
nam to Sydney to deliver the navy's
radio equipment, which is of standard
wave length. to Macmillan.
1t is thot that clashing interests
of radio manufacturing companies, an
xious to secure the advertisement of
having their equipment used on the
expedition to the north pole, form the
basis for the disagreement.
In later statement Wilbur said he
had no objection to the short wave
radio equipment being taken
along, but thot that both should be
carried on the expedition.

has on hand in attempting to dislodge
Japan from her pre-eminent position
In the Far East.
1t will also be seen that could the
imperialist powers come to an agree
ment and make Japan their agent, the
task of subjugating the Chinese ma.
ton, for time at least, would not be
so very hard. But Japan is already
too powerful to suit Great Britain and
the United States. Neither is Japan
willing to fight the battles of her two
principal rivals.
Meanwhile the Chinese liberation
movement and the Union OF Soviet
Socialist Republics grow in power.
TN the Far East there are many con-
4 fiicts in progress:
First, the drive against China by
the imperialist nations opposed by the
Chinese liberationists and Soviet
Russia.
Second, the conflict between Great
Britain and Japan, Japan and Amer
ica, America and Great Britain for
control of China and the pacific.
Third, the conflict between Soviet
Russia as the representative OF the
workers and peasants OF all the world,
and world imperialism.
None of these conflicts follow a
straight line. There are advances and
retreats, temporary alliances and
breaking of alliances, minor and ma
jor alignments and a play Of forces
that at times makes understanding
difficult.
But under all the intrigue and ma
neuvering is the clash of the two
great forces in this imperialist era
that Of ruling class striving to hold
its privileged position and that OF the
oppressed masses, yellow, white and
black, fighting for power to determine
their own destiny in a world where
the dictatorship of the working class
in Russia points the way out for the
masses of all the world.
(This is the last of this series of
articles. The next series will be call
ed: "China's Fight for Freedom" and
will deal with the rise of the Chinese
liberation movement and its meaning
! for the working class)

Italy in secret agreements made in
1917. The decision to legalize these
secret agreements was made by Lloyd
George, Clemenceau-and Woodrow
Wilson.
The Chinese delegates made des-
perate efforts to secure a modifica-
ton of these articles. According to
Thomas F. Willard they made the fol
lowing proposals:
China would assent to have the
German concessions In Shangtung
veded directly to Japan in the treaty
of peace, thus saving Japsn's
"face" in the matter.
Japan to promise, same also to
be written in the treaty, to restore
shangtung and Tslnatao to China
in two years.
China wouId~ agree to repay
Japan for all expenses incurred by
Japan in the military operations re-
quired to take Tsingtao from Ger
many. New York Times, July rs,
1912
The Japanese and their supporters
gave these concessions no considera-
ton.
THE Chinese learned their lesson.
L They had received blow after blow
rom the democratic nations allied
with autocratic Japan, they had been
given complete proof of the hollow
ness of imperialist promises and con-
crete demonstrations of the determine
tion of all the powers to take their
pound of flesh from bleeding China.
In speech delivered in New York
City on July 25, 1919, representative
of the Chinese republican govern
ment in Canton said:
We hope our defeat will serve to
arouse the sentiment of all China,
to the end that she will depend upon
herself and that her sorrow will be
her national salvation. The war
started as a conflict Of right with
might, but ! do not see that the
end of the war Justifes that idea.
Germany is crushed, but there Is
another Germany In the Far East,
and perhaps this will not be the
last war, for there will surely be
another II justice Is not done now.
THE president of China also voiced
L the new spirit in an interview pub
lished in the New York Times, Jan.
II, 1919:
Some western people hold the
view that il would be a great bene-
fit to China If the railroads, present
and prospective, could be interna-
tionallzed until such time as China

likewise be -internatlonaIIzed as a

GREB IS NOT EAGER
TO BATTLE FLOWERS
BY FAIR PLAY.

Those who have been angling for q
middleweight championship battle,
Greb versus Flowers. report that the
champion has not shown any great
eagerness to do battle, not indoors
anyway. :
What will happen when it comes
to outdoor projects remains to be
seen. But the dope Is that Greb has
reached stage where he does not
feel himself strong at the middle
weight limit. When he met Flowers
in Ohio last August he was pretty
we'll down to the limit Of his class
and he did not stand the pace any
too well.
Those who saw the fight indeed
shy that Harry got pretty good
pastins from the Atlanta negro II
Is true he did not know much about
Flowers when the two met and held
him perhaps a little cheaply, but
evidently he feels he knews a lot
about him now and Is keeping pretty
quiet when the siren voices of pro-
moters sound in his ears.
Flowers. by the way, is no chicken.
He had long grilling as a novice and
learned more than once What 1t 10
to be knocked out. But now when he
is nearing 80 he has developed not
only a rugged punch. but a style Of
milling that bothers every opponent.
1t looks as though Tiger had taken
a leaf from the book OF q lodging
halfback for as he rushes he re-
verses himself and very often punches
from one direction while moving in
another.
