WONDERFUL COMPOsURE.

Although the marriage license bu-

brides; sometimes even very young
girls show remarkable composure. A
twentieth century example of feminine
ingenuity was the case of a recent
bride who looked suspiciously young.
Very calmly and insistently she sworc
that she was over 10. After the cere-
mony had been performed, the girls
parents sought an annullment of the
marriage from Mr.. Burke, claiming
that she was under the legal age to

By William F. Dunno

Green cited this letter at the Atlantic
City convention as proof OF the friend
Illness of American labor offlcialdom to
the Chinese liberation movement.
We were skeptical about these pre-
tensions at the time and the action
of the machinists' committee in de-
handing the sacred right to build all
propelling equipment for the floating
fortresses of American Imperialism in
China without making any protest
whatever against the murderous pur-
poses for which they are to be en-
ployed is evidence that the A. f. OF
L. protest was merely paper one and
will remain so while the A. F. of L.
and its affiliated unions continue to
follow the flag of Wall Street.
CAID the spokesman of the Machin-
~ lists committee
We. contend that these en-
glnes should not be built in China,
even on grounds Of economy, when
American machinists are competent
to perform the work. II economy
warrants the giving of such work
to cheap AsiatIc labor, then II
would seem foolish for US to ex-
clude oriental labor from admission
to the United States.
This is the way in which trade un.
ionists, under the influence Of inn
perialism's labor agents, protest"
against the contemplated invasion Of
the Chinese interior by an American
battlefield. W
The most hopeful sign in this situa-
ton is the fact that Chinese workers
are able to construct and install such
intricate machinery as that required
to propel gunboats. When they begin
to build such machinery for the pro-
lection of Chinese instead Of Amer
lean interests-and the national Ii
beration movement is evidence that
this development is taking place-the
Chinese revolution will be we'll on its
way.
In the meantime the demand for the
withdrawal of all troops and gunboats
from China be given the widest po-
pular support.

MTAsHiNeToN, Nov. 19.-Repre.
w sentative Loring NJ. Black Jr.
OF New York accompanied by
committee representing the Inter
national Association Of Machnlsts,
called upon Secretary Wilbur to-
day to protest against the awarding
of any contract to Chinese ship
building companies for, the con-
struetion Of propelllng machinery
for the SIX CHINESE RIVER GUM
BOATS AUTHORIZED BY CON-
GRESS LAST WINTER. Especial
dispatch to the New York Times).
HOW many people know that the
II American government is building
specially constructed gunboats for
service in Chinese revers?
The above dispatch is the usual
method by which such information is
conveyed to the American masses
and the secrecy which surrounds such
plans, until some unfortunate occur
renee makes them public, is an indica-
ton that the open door" policy
hitherto followed in China is under
going some changes.
The attitude of the officialdom Of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, whose sole objection to the
plan for gunboat fiotilla in Chinese
rivers, is based on the awarding of
the work to Chinese firms, is quite
n keeping with the general alignment
of the A. F. of L. labor aristocracy
with American Imperialism.
THESE gunboats are to cost $780,
1 600 apiece-a total Of S4,2O0,0OO
for this form of protection of Am
erican interests" alone. That Chinese
workers are to- build the machinery
for their own destruction is doubtless
typical example of the exquisite
humor Of American imperialism.
The United States has played
clever game in China. Had the open
door policy been administered as
cleverly as it was designed, the
United States would today be not only

mediate peace even tho it means
less freedom for the masses.
A MEXICAN imperialism is not going
"A to be content with penetration
Of Chinese seaports. It is driving for
the rich interior of China and this can
mean nothing but conflict with the
Chinese workers and peasants.
Hence the six new river gunboats.
The United States possesses no
extra-territoriality rights in China
and. according to it's official spokes-
men, desires none. On the contrary,
American Imperialism is anxious that
all extra-territoriality rights held by
Great Britain, Japan and France be
abolished. It, is this seeming advocacy
of the integrity of the Chinese nation
and people which makes America ap-
pear as their friend.
DUT a nation which builds men-of-
- war specially adapted to the navi-
cation of Chinese rivers and which
by this means can establish floating
fortresses in the heart Of China, or
rather in its arteries, is creating
bases-economic and miIitary-whose
very mobility makes them greater
menace to the Chinese and the Chi
nese liberation movement than the
fixed bases Of the other imperialist
powers.
These gunboats can range the
Chinese rivers at will, lay waste
whole cites, demoralize Chinese traffic
and levy tribute more effectively than
the Chinese pirates who terrorized
travellers and destroyed Chinese
shipping for years. 1t could not be
otherwise for the interests of Amer
lean Imperialism are directly in con-
fiict with those of the Chinese masses.
ME come now again to the role of
W American labor as played by the
committee from the International AS
sociation Of Machinists. The American
Federation of Labor recently sent a
letter to President Coolidge calling
attention to the disturbances in China
and urging representation in an in
ternational conference for labor"
