U. S. TRIES TO /

WASHINGTON, July s.-(FP)-
Secretary of State Kellogg has held
a number of conferences with Minis
ter SEE, and is now drafting instruo
tons to be cabled to John MacMur
ray, the new American minister to
Picking, who it about to reach hia
post.
Alarm within the department at the
rapid growth Of the Chinese enamel.
patton movement has deepened during
the past two week, during which the
world has witnessed the strange spec
tacle of the Chinese nation-united in
purpose without having an actual gov
ernment-presenting lists of demands
for apology, Naturalization and other
amends for wrongs done Chinese by
foreigners.
These demands Minister SEE has
laid before Kellogg with a frank as
surance that 400 OOO, 900 Chinese mean
to back them up. The historic inter-
national sport of kicking the Chinese
is ended. Western powers are faced
by the problem of saving what they
can from the collapse Of their posi-
ton in the Orient.
What effect this victory will have
on the temper and program of the
Chinese people is a question to which
Minister MacMurray will give his at
tention as soon as he reaches Picking.
If he finds that Picking officials &C
cept the proposed conference as the
best road to removal of western i'm
perialism from China, and that strikes
and student demonstrations subside
he will so report, and the anxiety of
Washington to please the Chinese will
cool off.
If, however, he reports that the
Chinese are encouraged by this sue
cess to demand great many more
concessions from the foreign powers,
and that national pride is stirred to
resentment against the missionaries
and traders, Washington will remain
anxious for quick action 10 satisfy
these demands. H

STRUGGLE
DIVIDES CHINESE
IN BIC STRIKE
Yankee Consul Orders
Raids and Arrests

MOSCOW, June Is (By Mail) -
The alien imperialist powers with the
aid of the reactionary Chinese mill
tarist circles are trying to drown the
anti-imperialist movement in blood.
The American consul at Hankow,
being the senior of the foreign con
sular body at Hankow, sent a note to
the governor of the Province Yupei
demanding the arrest of all revolu-
tionary agitators, and declaring every
strike or boycott movement to be an
unfriendly act towards the alien pow
ers.
At Hankow, American, Britain, Jap
anese, French and Italian marines
were landed. The Russian white
gurads are taking active part in sup
pressing the movement. In most Of
the undertakings, the strike is still
on.
Regular Yankee Suppression.
The latest reports from Hankow
tell of the execution OF eight agita-
tors. Mass arrests and house search
es were carried out. The Chinese
committee of he rights of man was
arrested.
On the suggestion of the foreign
powers, the gbvernor issued war
rant of arrest against the leaders Of
the 1925 railway strike, and against
the leaders of the workers and stu
dents organizations.
The strike movement is spreading,
and the Japanese printers and the
officials of the British shops have
joined the Chinese strike. All meet
ings and demonstrations were forbid
den with the threat of the use of
arms.
British Shoot IL Year Old Children.
Among the victims of the shooting
that took place at Hankow under the
command of British officer, there
are children OF twelve years of age;
several of those wounded have died.
A resolution passed by the profess
sors of the National University at
Picking, contains the demand that in
view of the shootings at Hankow and
of the other e1e Of violence commit
ted by the aliens, Chinese troops be
Immediately dispatched into the ter
ritory Of the foreign CONCESSIONS, that
the British consul be deported, and
that categorical demand be made
for the immediate excavations of the
Chinese ports by the alien warships.
Shanghai Strikers stick.
The strike at Shanghai is continu-
ing undated for the third week. On
the grounds that it is necessary to
support the national industry and to
alleviate the suffering of the strikers,
the Trade Union Council agreed to
the resumption of work in the Chin
csc textile mills, but only on condi-
ton that the Chinese employers Of
fcially recognize the trade unions,
pay up for the time of the strike. and
to renounce forever the use of for
eign police in times of strike.
Negotiations are still on. The
crews of all the ships that have ar
rived in the port of Shanghai until
now, are on strike. and the port is
completely paralyzed. The Jananese
strikers have rejected the proposal
OF the japanese employers to sign a
separate agreement until the demands
OF all strikers will have been granted.
Let's All Be Free!
The students of the Picking Univer-
sity demand the immediate cessation
OF relations with Great Britain; they
have also decided TO issue a manifesto
to the peoples Of the British colonies
calling upon them to declare their in
dependence.
