XXTE hate to mention it but business
w is business and our business is to
tell as much Of what happens as is
conducive to the welfare OF the labor
movement, therefore when we learn
that there is deficit of $305,o00,000
in British revenue collections as com
pared with $160,OOO,000 last year, the
horrible fact must be chronicled. Any
reader who ever experienced the
hangs Of financial stringency will real
ize what this means, and it is only
question of time when the New zea-
lander on London Bridge may be asked
to drop a penny into King Georges
hat or in the Fedora OF the Prince of
Wales.
A IL Pilsudski's horses and all his
"A men could not make the Polish
parliament vote for him. So it didn't,
with the result that chaos is now king
and Pilsudsk's army is ali dressed UP
with no place in particular to go tho
the marshal is talking Of marching on
Lithuania, evidently thinking it safer
to attack little potato republic than
the Soviet Union. But the marshal
will find Wilma a hard pill to swallow
tho he got it into his mouth a few
years and the league Of nations gave
him a sip of water to dissolve it.
DILSUDsKPS diet voted against
L him, the count being $50 against
and go for. That's not so good con-
sidering the report that the marshal
is genius and can solve every prob
lem by waving HIS shining sword.
Things must be pretty bad when so
many deputies failed to be Influenced
by battalion of armed men. Politi-
clans are usually susceptible to out
side influence Either the prick of
sword or the cltnk of the coin.
COUTH AFRICA is holding a referen-
- dun on a suitable flag for the
dominion. General Smuts, the old
traitor who participated In the sale OF
the two republics to the empire, wants
the Union Jack included in the color
scheme. But General Hertzog who
the nationalist Boer ele-
ments does not particularly care about
the emblem Of British Imperialism. In
all probability a compromise will be
reached. and the crown will find It's
way into the bunting.
BRITISH propaganda agencies in
- Lithuania are trying to develop
sentiment against the recently signed
Soviet-Lithuanian treaty. The British
propagandists wish to make 1t appear
that the pact is directed against Eng
land. Whether it is or not is up to
England. The Soviet Union does not
want war and Lithuania has more to
gain from an accord with Russia than
thru hostility. England is gradually
being isolated on the continent. Even
the little Baltic republics are learning
to their cost that they will be better
off by declining to any longer act as
buffer states between England and
Soviet Russia.
NHU-CHAO-HSIN, head OF the Chi
~ nese mission to Italy and head of
the Chinese delegation to the league of
nations, continues to hurl broadsides
at British Imperialism from his point
of vantage at Geneva, The British
don't know what to do about it, tho
Chu in the fullness of his heart sug
gests that they stop bombarding Chi
nese towns and pull out their armed
forces. In which event says Chu. the
Chinese might be inclined to resume
treaty relations with them. The Brit
fish are now asking: Whats the mat
ter with Chu?" And without waiting
for an answer they assert that he is
either a tool of the Koumintang or
else he is playing politics. And what
