remains the same. Yesterday morning
those on the picket line missed the
deputy who had come near drowning

BRITAIN CLEANS
UP ON The old
ARABIAN EMPIRE
Brides and Bulldozing
Completes the Grab
Especial to The Daily Worker

LONDON, Dec. 21-The capitalist
journals report that King Ali of He'd
JAZZ has "abdicated and fed to Irak"
is the version given out by the British
foreign Office to as corrupt piece Of
British Imperialism as has been pull
ed off in many long day
The king of Irak, the territory held
by Great Britain under a league of
nations mandate, is merely a puppet
Of British rule. The league recently
ruled that because the Turks had
been, so it alleges, guilty of some
atrocities therefore Irak should get
the valuable Mosull oil region--pro-
viding the British would permit" the
league of nations to extend the British
mandate over Irak rs years more
or enuf time in order to get all the
oil out of Mosul.
Britain, accustomed to bearing the
white mans burden, agreed to accept
the burden of being responsible for
getting the oil out of Mosul. So
that's that.
But now to complete the "pacifca-
ton" Of the country, the British pay
out bride of $2,50O,OOO in cold cash
to the king of Irak, with the under
standing that he is to buy off his
brother, the king Of Hedjaz, who has
been holding out against the British
in the mountainous section. England
got the father of the two kicked off
the throne in 1924. Ali went on the
warpath. while his brother became a
well-paid British puppet.
The news that King Ali has "abdi-
Gated and fed to Irak" from Hediaz,
is simply another way of saying that
Ali has succumbed to the bride and
that British Imperialism now holds
almost all the great Arabian empire,
with the blessing of the league of ma
tions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-The world

today with indications pointing more
and more to its becoming, in the
final analysis, "a battle OF reserva-

Want Still More.
The Pinchot proposal, it is to be
remembered, constitutes for the union
surrender of the Tri-District con
vention demands and an unheard of
contract for five years duration. In
view of the fact that the operators
are not satisfied even with this con-
cession, the conviction is growing
that the operators are out to destroy
the union entirely in the anthracite
region.

Especial 20 The Daily Worker)

BISMARCK, NJ. OAK, Dec. 21.-The
farmer-labor party Of North Dakota as
formed at 6ismark will be a burning
issue at the ncxt non-partlsan league
convention, which in all probability,
will be held on February %. The
leaouers are not all united on the idea
Of forming the new party at this time.
United States Senator Lynn J. Fra
zier and Congressman j. H. Sinclair
sent joint telegram to the farmer
labor conference, stating they did not
think st would be wise at this time"
to go ahead with the organization of
farmer-labor party in the state.
Similar kilograms were received
from non-progressive, fossilized league
oflce-holders in, the state.
Rank and File Demand Party.
Other kilograms from rank and
illers, on the offer hand, expressed
fervent sympathy with the formation
of a real farmer-labor party in North
Dakota.
A. c. Townley, former league lead
er, who is now drilling for oil in
North Dakota and Kansas and who
is looking forward to remittance
into the political arena, is not in sym
patty with the new farmer-labor
party.
To Build Party in Dakota.
Nevertheless, the conference under
the leadership OF William Lenke and
R. H. Walker. are standing pat on the
decision of forming a farmer-labor
party and the plan now is to go ahead
with the building Of such party in
North Dakota.
Farmer-labor Representatives from
other states strongly urged the non
partisan leaguers Of North Dakota
to join the new party and give it the
best possible SUPPORT. William Bouck
Of Washington. Charles E. Taylor Of
Montana and yes Of South Da
kota expressed the view that the for
nation OF militant farmer-labor
party in North Dakota would give a
great impetus too farmer-labor move
ments in other Estates and inasmuch
as many farmerssand workers of the
northwestern and central western
states are still Hooking to North Da-
kota for guidance and leadership in

political movement, that it should re-
assert its original militancy.
Workers and Farmers Must Unite.
j. G. Soltis from Minnesota gave a
good talk on how the capitalist system
exploited both the farmer and worker
and the necessity of forming class
party Of their own.
There is yet a good deal of timid-
ity in this new farmer-labor move
ment, but start has at least been
made and it is destined to grow wider
and deeper as the political experience
Of the farmers and workers in the
state becomes ripper thru capitalist
oppression.
