Especial to The Daily Wotker)
ROME, Aug. 11.-Fascist Italy and
feudaI Spain, also with a dictator in
the form of General Primo de Rivera,
have signed treaty whose terms are
yet secret and may be kept SO In
spite of the league of nations rule
that everything must be registered.
The reason for the secrecy is seen
in the rumored provisions for a
Spanish-Italian bloc against Britain
and France in the Mediterranean, and
against the United States in Latin
America. 1t has produced surprise,
If not alarm, in other countries.
The terms of the treaty unquestion-
ably will be kept secret at least until
after the conference of imperialist
powers to settle the future status of
Morocco and Tangiers. Spain demands
more in these regions than England
and France, the big league members,
are willing to give, since they have
imperialist interests of their own to
guard. Italy has the same ambitions,
and is pressing hard for more land and
influence in Mediterranean affairs.
Spain and Italy have been feeling
that their rights and interests in the
Mediterranean have not been accorded
proper value" says the Giornale
dItalia. The same paper refers to the
"militaristic. commercial and political
penetration Of South America by the
United states" and adds:
offers Alliance Against U. s.
Resistance is growing among South
American nations which are affirming
their national rights and autonomy
and are seeking new political friend

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-That the
pressure brought to bear on the ad-

Looking For Excuse.
While the government would insist
that any steps It might take would not
be interference in the struggle be-
tween the church and the government,
yet if in the course of the disturb
ances arising out OF the religious war
American citizens were injured or
killed, the United States government
might seize on such indictment or
incidents as a favorable excuse to
break off diplomatic relations.
The knights of Colum bus, represent

been urging the president to lift the
arms embargo. This move would have
no other purpose than to arm the reac-
tionary elements for civil war.

British Miners Strike
Depends on u. S. Labor
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-PIanning
the details of their campaign in Amer
lean industrial eenters to raise fund
Of millions of dollars to win the great
strike of British coal miners by de-
featng famine in the homes of the
strikers, the British labor delegation
completed on Aug. its conferences
with President Green and Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor. Then they scattered, to car
ry their appeal for aid to the officers
of the various international unions,
and to central labor bodies and to the
miners in the coal fields.
Before going, they gained valuable
publicity by posing for a news film and
for the press photographers, on the
steps of the A. F. of L. building. Green
and Ben Tillett, M. p, representative
of the general council of the British
Trade Union Congress, were in the
center of this moving picture.
The Schedule.
Joseph Jones of the Yorkshire
miners will canvass the Boston dis
trict. Miss Ellen Wilkinson, NJ. p,
secretary of the Woman's Relief Com.
mittee for the strikers, will be assign
ed to New York and vicinity. Oliver
Harris of the South Wales Miners
Federation will have Philadelphia and
the anthracite field. Ben Tillett will
cover the Pittsburgh area.
Paul McKenna of the Scottish
Miners Federation will go to Chicago.
and may also visit Milwaukee and
the Twin Cities. James Robson of the
Durham Miners will be responsible for
the st. Louis district. Tillett will prob
ably visit Cleveland to see the exc
cutives of the railroad brotherhoods,
and he may also go to Indianapolis,
where are the headquarters of the
Mine Workers, the Carpenters, the
typographical and other important
unions.
