China RESENTS
YANKEES PLAN
FOR CONQUEST
Interventionist May Be
Forced to Get Out

SHANGHAI, June 6.-The Chinese
newspapers and nationalist organiza-
tons are demanding the deportation
from China of an American imperialist
scribe, Rodney Gilbert, who in re-
cent book attacks the principle of
Chinese independence as ridiculous
idea, and the Chinese as fit only for
being the humble subjects of foreign
exploiters that know what is better
for Chinese than do the Chinese them
selves.
Foreigners should rrle China, says
Gilbert in the book, winch is entitled
What's Wrong With China" Gilbert
quite frankly says that foreign i'm
perialists should intervene with armed
force to compel Chinese to accept the
partition OF Chinese among imperialjst
powers. He adds that this should have
been done fifty years ago and that
America should do II now.
Gilbert is a Harvard graduate, born
In Lancaster, Pa, and is employed in
China by British newspapers.

Local Joins u. T. w. on
Condition 1t Stages
Organization Drive

SALEM, Mass, June 6.-(FP)-
Naumkeag Mill workers Of Salem,
Mass, are responsible for a new or
ganization tactic in the United Tex
tile Workers. Through their union
and it's head, J. P. o'Connell, they
have had the U. T w. concentrate or
ganization efforts in cotton sheeting
mills
Several organizers are now devot-
ing their time to this job. The nearly
100 per cent organized group in
Naumkeag, one of New England's
Oldest mills established 1887, made
its re-entry into the U. T. w. after a
period of affiliation with the indepen-
dent American Federation of Textile
Operatives, conditional upon this or
ganization campaign.
Naumkeag Mill workers are more
fortunate than most of their fellow
workers in the textile industry. OF
the 1000 in this sheeting mill, 1000
women and 500 men are in the union.
They have steady work the year
round, except for the annual two.
weeks shutdown termed their "vaca-
ton" They do not have high wages
but their average annual earnings
are we'll above those of other cotton
textile workers. Naumkeag workers
have been the only ones, probably, TO
successfully resist wage cuts from
1929 on.
The Salem textile union was first in
the u. T. w. but switched to the A.
II. T. o. for a number of years. Last
December the local went back into the
U T. W., affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor.
Naumkeag is the only textile mill
in Salem. Three OF the ten chief
sheeting mills are in the southern
states. but most of the bleaching and
finishing (including hemming and
packing for retail trade) is done in
the North ala.

FRANCE STILL
AT WAR With
MOOR TRIBES
Natives Well Armed and
Holding Ground

PARIS, June 6.-Although Abd-el
Krim has surrendered and the Riff is
supposed to be "pacifed," France still
has several little wars on its hands
with native tribes who refuse to yield
to imperialist demands and give up
their independence.
The Atlas mountains are full of
forces of hostile natives armed with
modern rifles and in no mood to be
coaxed into surrender.
A humorous phase a this situation
is the attempt of the French to him
der native rebellion by buying rifles
from the tribesmen at a much niger
price than the natives paid for them.
The tribesmen pay about S64 for a
rife, then sell it to the French for $50
or more. While the French think
this is the way to stop revolts, the ma.
tives figure 1t a good way to finance
the purchase of more rifles.
There are seven or eight tribes with
several thousand each of well-armed
warriors who have no intention Of let
ting the French enter their territory.

CARROLL PLANS

SUPERIOR COURT

NEW YORK, June 6.-Earl Carroll,
Broadway theatrical magnate, will not
go to Atlanta to serve his Jail SEN
tence until some time around next
Christmas, II then, is the opinion OF
many lawyers.
Carroll was sentenced to one year
and one day in prison and fined $4,000
by Federal Judge Goddard for perjury
before the federal grand jury which
investigated the serving OF liquor at
CAROLS Washington's birthday bath
tub party"
Carroll's lawyer will take the pro-
ducer's appeal TO the circuit court at
the beginning of it's term On October.
II is regarded as likely that when the
October term begins press OF business
win be so heavy that Carroll's case
will not be reached until November.
Then there is the customary lapse OF
about month between argument and
the decision Of the court. Further
legal technicalities may be interposed
that would mean the case would not
be finally settled until about Christ.

sue. He said he was not submitting
to an interview" and hence his exact
language will not be quoted. But he
is not interested in the fate OF Sacco
and Vanzetti. He wants the outside
public-especially the workers who
have votes-to believe that nobody is
interested in Sacco and Vanzetti un-
less It be a few labor people, and a
few Italians.
While Butler seldom talks in pub
lie about anything, it was quite clear
that he wanted least Of all to talk Of
the tate Of these two radicals who had
stirred up revolt among the mill hands
in Massachusetts,. The courts-elected
or appointed by his machine, and I'M
der the approving eye OF Buffers fell
low mill owners-had found no flaw
in the conviction. That was all he
saw in it. No racial prejudice and no
class prejudice. Just conviction.
Butler Can order Life or Death.
If the governor wants to pardon
Sacco and Vanzetti, or to commute
their sentences, he can do so. When
the courts of Massachusetts are thru
with a case, the governor and his
council may take it up for possible
clemency. The actual decision is made
by the governor. Life and death are
in his hands. Butler is sure on that
score.
Butler did not say to The Federated
Press that the political life and death
of the governor are in the hands of
the Butler machine. He is intelligent
enough to assume that that fact is
understood. If the governor acts in
this case, he will do so with knowl-
edge of Buffers judgment as to how
his action will AFFECT Buffers chance
of election next fall. Butler can be
trusted to see to that.

The strike continues against Iron
League jobs, tieing up the bulk of
heavy construction work in Chicago,
although the union asserts that 1000
union men are working on jobs held
by other contractors than those of
the Iron League.
The Iron League has long wished to
find an excuse for trying to destroy
the union in the Chicago district. The
open shop Lands award committee
has officially offered to help the Iron
League, by furnishing scabs.
Both Meet Today.
That the bosses intend to at least
make a show of fight is seen In the
meeting scheduled today by the struc-
tural iron contractors who are mem
bers of the league, to be followed by
a general meeting of all members of
the league at the Hotel Sherman.
The union members are scheduled
to meet tonight at Musicians Hall, IT'S
West Washington. If any offer is made
by the league, the union will consider
it tonight. The open shoppers are
known to be anxious to undermine the
union by insisting on removal of the
clause providing for the withdrawal
Of union men from new jobs where
non-union men are hired who refuse
to join the union.

Class Solidarity Grows
Among Workers in Lands
Bordering Pacific Ocean
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE Hearst press treats its read
4 ers to another scare about the
Japanese menace to the United
States. New revelations regarding
the preparations being made by the
Nipponese for the impending war
with this country are presented
with all possible hysterical accom-
paniment.
Yet 1t is difficult to see where the
lingo, Hearst, presents anything not
already known to the student of re-
lations between capitalist nations
in the present imperialist era.
1t is declared that Japan plans
the exploitation of the vast natural
resources of Korea (Chosen) and
Manchuria, the great province Of
North China, and the production Of
immense quantities of essential ma
terials of war-iron, coal, oil and
fOodstuffs. 1t is claimed that ia
pan suffers a huge deficiency in
these war materials at present.
1t is declared that Japan plans
the construction Of a comprehen-
sive system of railroads thru Man
churia and Korea to transport these
materials to the shores of Korea
Straits and the Sea of Japan, and
the development of harbors con-
nected with these railroads.
1t is declared that preparations
are being made for the powerful
defense of Korea Straits and the
Sea of Japan to guarantee saftey
of transport for war materials
across these waters to Japan in
time of hostilities.
It is declared that japan seeks
the adoption of a friendly policy by
Japan toward China and avoidance
of hostile action against the Chi
nese in order to facilitate the jap
anese exploitation program.
Il is not known that Japan is
making a secret of any of these
allegations. Japan, just like the
United States, does everything pos
sible to exploit every possible ma
tural resource that can be brought
under its influence. The United
States government has an elaborate
program, that is being carried out
in detail. Hearst knows this. He
favcrs it. His so-called exposure
of similar Japanese preparations is
merely an effort to stimulate the
American war program
The railroad situation in Man
churia is not new. There has been
an endless struggle over the Chi
nese Eastern Railroad, which is
now operated jointly by the Chinese
and the Soviet Union. Chang Tso
Lin, the Japanese catspaw in Man
churia, recently tried to seize this
very important railroad that short
ems the distance from western 81
IBERIA to the red Soviet port Of
Vladivostok. But he failed in the
effort. 1t is only natural that Jap
an should seek to develop its con-
troll over an increased network Of
transportation in Manchuria and
Korea. The same is true of trans
portation by water. Imperialist
Japan is as much interested in the
protection of the Korean Straits as

the United States is to safeguard
the Panama Canal and transform
the Hawaiian Islands into an "im-
pregnable fortress"
The Hearst expose, however, be-
comes extremely ridiculous when it
talks of Japan seeking the adoption
Of a friendly attitude toward China.
This is intended to infer that the
Toxic imperialists are capable of
friendship toward the Chinese peo-
pie. The truth is that the Japanese
government, in common with all i'm
perialist nations, is the bitter foe of
the Chinese people. Japan supports
the bandit war lord Of Manchuria,
Chang Tso Lin, just as the United
States and Great Britain give their
aid to WI Pei Flu, who throws in his
fortunes with Chang when the Kuo-
minchun National Revolutionary
Army threatens to exterminate
them both.
Just as all the imperialist powers
united in an effort to deliver a fatal
blow to Soviet rule in Siberia, so
these international bandits now
unite in their common attack on the
revolutionary power Of the Chinese
workers and peasants.
The threatening war between the
United States and Japan, for control
Of the Pacific, can only be looked
upon as an opportunity for the Chi
nese masses (and the workers of all
countries affected) to consolidate
their power. 1t would give China a
much needed breathing spell, dur
ing which it would be possible to
develop strongly centralized revo-
lutionary government for the whole
nation.
The Trade Union Council of New
South Wales, Australia, has called
a conference for July Of labor rep
resentatives from nations bordering
the Pacific to discuss this impending
war. The Australians are breaking
thu their isolation from the Asiatic
peoples. that resulted from the in
tensive campaign to maintain a
white Australia" Now the van
guard of Australian labor is anx-
ious and eager to develop the solid
arsty Of workers Of all colors, yellow,
brown and white, who suffer under
imperialism. 1t is an encouraging
sign. No pore is the yellow worker
Of China, or the brown worker of
Japan, looked upon as an inferior
being by his enlightened Australian
brother. Rther is he considered a
comrade in arms against the CAPT
talist rulers.
American labor is still saturated,
20 very great extent, with the
lingo hysteria that Hearst and his
kind spread over the land. It still
looks upon oriental labor as some
thing beneath its serious attention,
except to exclude it from this con-
try. The prejudice will be gradually
wiped away, however, with the de-
velopment of the class solidarity of
labor within the borders Of this ma
ton. That class solidarity will grow
as American labor decides it must
give no support to U. S. imperialist
ambition in the Pacific, that IL must
unite with all Pacific labor for the
ending Of imperialist rule.
