Veto ON De Rivera's
Ambitions Given by
Spanish Army Clique

MADRID, June 20. - Primo de Rii-
vera, military dictator of Spain, has
struck a snag in his efforts to get
more of the power in his own hands
and out Of the hands of the army Off
GERS who actually boss the army thru
officers cotihcils or "juntas."
De Rivera sought to break up the
juntas by promoting a whole group
of under officers for distinguished
service in Morocco" over the junta
rulings against such promotions. His
decree also said that these younger
officers must accept the promotions,
disregarding the pledge young officers
take not to break the seniority rules
Of the old generals and their juntas.
The officer class controlling the
juntas, led by 400 generals, have sent
delegations to De Rivera and got him
to promise to not enforce the decree
compelling the young officers to accept
promotion.

Caillaux to Upset
French-U. S. Scheme
on War Debt Accord

PARIS, June %. - The inclusion of
NJ. Caillaux in the new BRAND cabinet
as minister of finance will mean de-
mand for Certain notifications of the
Mellon-Berenger agreement, not chang
ing the essential character Of the ac-
cord" it was officially admitted this
afternoon, following a luncheon con-
ference between NJ. Caillaux and NJ.
BRAND.
The appointment of NJ Caillaux as
finance minister came after he had
made arrangements to convoke an as
sembly of all parties of the senate and
the chamber If M. BRAND failed to
form a cabinet by noon today. NJ
Poincare indicated that it was feared
that NJ. Caillauxs action might be
tantamount to an attempt at coup
d'etat.
NJ. Caillaux's acceptance OF the
finance ministry may be followed by
a drastic change in the French policy
with regard to the settlement Of the
American debt. M. Caillaux Is known
to have been insistent that a safety
clause be inserted in the settlement,
though NJ. BRAND has opposed such a
demand. II now seems probable that
NJ. Caillaux's wishes will prevail and
that an effort will be made to amend
the Berenger settlement, which may
wreck that accord.

Canton Government
Strengthens Its elf
Against Imperialism

CANTON, China (By MaiD The
official joining Of the province
Kwangsi with the territory under the
control of the Canton government has
increased the security Of the latter.
The plenary session of the execu-
tive of the Kuomintang which has just
ended published a declaration to the
effect that the success Of the national
revolution depended upon the closest
unity Of the revolutionary forces and
that the Kuomingtang has become an
important political factor, the only
one capable of leading the millions in
the national revolutionary struggle
against imperialism.
The reactionaries had attempted to
SOW disunity in the ranks Of the Kuo-
mingtang and had contended that the
Kuomingtang was Communist organ
ization. The executive of the Kuo-
mingtang, however, would allow no
one to use the agitation against Com
munism as a slogan against the ma
tional revolution.
The declaration concludes by point
ing out that the strengthening of the
province Of Kwangtung as a revolu-
tionary basis means the strengthening
of the whole Chinese national revolu-
tionary movement.
The British newspapers in Hong
Kong express their disappointment at
the activity of the commander of the
Canton army, Chang Kai Shi. British
circles expected a counter-revolution-
airy putsch from him, but they are now
compelled to admit that unity rules in
the Canton group.

CAILLAUX TAKES
FINANCIAL POST
IN new CABINET
BRAND Announces His
Acceptance of Post

PARIS, June %. - Joseph Caillaux
has agreed to accept the post as min
lister of finance in the cabinet being
formed by Aristide BRAND. The latter
announces that his cabinet would be
completed late today
For some time BRAND was on the
point of failure in his second effort
to complete the cabinet, Caillaux de-
handing that he be given virtual con-
troll of the cabinet, either by himself
instead Of BRAND becoming the pre-
mier, or by giving himself and his sup
porters four posts in the cabinet. Also
he would not sit in cabinet with
POincare.
Whether this last arrangement has
been forced on BRAND or not, the
naming of the remainder Of the cab
met will tell. President Doumergue
of France has been bitterly opposed
to Caillaux
When informed by BRAND yesterday
that the demands of Caillaux were
making it impossible for BRAND to
form a cabinet and that the president
might have to give the job to Caillaux
as premier, Doumergue declared: 'Is
this an attempt to provoke a coup
d'etat?' Doumergue stated he would
resign as president Of France rather
than offer the premiership to Caillaux.

Demand Release of
Spanish Unionists;
Call of Red Unions

MOSCOW (By Mall The Red In
ternational Of Labor Unions has u.s.
sued an appeal to the workers Of all
countries calling upon them to protest
against the threatening trial OF six
Spanish Communists by court martial
in Barcelona.
The six comrades are pioneers of
the trade union movement in Spain,
Their names are Soils, Maurin, Co
lone, Rebul, Fremo and Rienzi. They
have already been in prison for many
months. They are threatened with
sentences from 10 to 25 years i'm
prisonment. Despite the lack of all
evidence against them, they will be
sentenced unless this is prevented
by the international protest action OF
the proletariat.
Organize protest meetings against
the repression in Spain, send tele-
grams of protest to the government of
Primo de Rivera" says the Red Inter-
national of Labor Unions, force the
Representatives of this government in
your countries to hear your voices.
Demand the immediate release Of the
six and all other imprisoned Spanish
revolutionaries."

Sacco-Vanzetti Case
Rouses Argentina In,
Protest; Bomb a Dud

BUBNOS AIRES, June (By Mail)
On account of the fact that the gov
eminent of the United States has re-
fused to grant a new trial to Sacco
and Vanzetti, numerous protest meet
ings are taking place here. The rail-
waymen's and leather workers unions
have adopted sharpiy-worded protest
resolutions and other workers organi-
cations are following their example.
On account of lack Of evidence the
government has been forced to release
eight anarchists and Communists who
were arrested in connection with q
bomb explosion in front Of the build
ing Of the American embassy here. It
was assumed that the. bomb explosion
was an act of terror as a protest
against the death sentences against
Sacco and Vanzetti.
The fact that the arrested men had
been several days on hunger strike
forced the hand Of the government
and quickened their release.

lions.
French troops, released from the
Moroccan campaign are being poured
into Syria to annihilate the Druses.
Two columns are converging from
Salkhad and Seteida to meet in the
Djebel country in three days.
But at Damascus itself there RACES
continual battle. Each night the
native independence forces attack the
gates and are only repulsed by bloody
hand-to-hand fighting. Machine guns
point inward from the city walls as
the inhabitants are no lovers of their
"mandaters." Pointing outward are
great guns, and these are continually
belching shells into the famous
Ghouta gardens, the magnificent prod
uct of thousands of years lying in the
ancient oasis Of Damascus.

Unions Amsterdam internationally, to
come to England to attend the inter-

Questioned in the house of commons
by Arthur Henderson of the British

cluded, Sir William Joynson-Hicks,
home secretary, replied that he had
ascertained during the recent general
strike, that Fimmen and Oudegeest
had tried to interfere with British
trade by arranging that British ships
should be held up in foreign ports.
Joynson-Hicks said the British gov
eminent, would not allow them to

TORY PARTY is
SPLIT ON RUSS
Mine DONATION
Churchill Leads Break
Against Baldwin
tspseIaI 70 nae paIIy workerl

LONDON, June %. = A situation
that is unprecedented in English po-
litical life is the open split in the
Baldwin cabinet between the more
bitter reactionaries and the premier's
majority.
Over the weekend Winston Church
Ill, chancellor of the exchequer, and
the earl Of Birkenhead, secretary Of
industry, have delivered public
speeches against the policy of the cabi-
net towards Russia. This is a sharp
departure from English parliamentary
tradition and indicates deep split in
the tory party.
Want TO Break.
The two leading cabinet members
are Directing to the cabinets decision
not to break relations with the Soviet
Union over contributions received
here by the striking miners from the
members Of the All-Russian trade
unions.
1t is believed that Baldwin and the
ministers that oppose breaking on re-
lations have the support of the large
trading and capitalist element now do
ing business with the Soviets.
May Be Election.
1t is quite possible that a parlia-
mentary crisis will be precipitated on
the voting on the question. If Bald
win allowed a free vote there will
doubtless be many conservatives who
will follow Churchill's lead in voting
against the policy Of the cabinet. This
will force a general election.

the league powers refuse Spain will
follow Brazil in telling the league
goodbye.
Although some South American
countries are said TO be petitioning
