C.L CALLS FOR

TO AID China
Protest British Blockade
of Canton
tspeeIaI e rhs paIIy WORKED


MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., March e. -
The executive committee Of the Com
munlst International has issued the
following profess upon motion Of the
English delegation against the British
imperiaIlst attacks on the revolution
airy Canton government. The state
ment calls upon the workers of all
countries to adopt means for blocking
these intriuues.
Aid Canton Government
1.-THE English government has block
AIDED Canton and addressed a note to
the Chinese foreign minister thru its
mission in Picking demanding an end
of the seamen's strike in Canton and
containing threats to the Canton gov
eminent. The strike has lasted for
eight months. The tenacity of the
strikers is due to their revolutionary
will and to the fact that they have
the support and the deepest sympathy
or the democratic population of the
whole Of China. The Canton which is
based upon the Kuomintang and upon
the masses of the people in the prov
ince of Kwangtung and upon the re-
volutionary movement in the whole
Of China, can naturally not suppress
the workers movement at the request
Of the English irnperialists.
Conservatives Hesitated.
Already in the summer at the be-
ginning Of the strike the English gov
ernor in Hongkong demanded military
Intervention against Canton in order
to crush the strike, but not even the
English conservative government
could decide upGa such step, for II
knew that the aEt4lk5 in Canton was d
part of the national revolutionary
movement and that any armed inter
vention would arouse an unparalleled
indignation amongst the masses OF
the people of China. Now however
the English government believes that
the proper moment has come to
strangle the revolutionary govern
ment of South China. The reactionary
movement Of Tchang Tso Lin in Man
churia supported by the japanese, and
1.-THE new actions of the reactionary
general WI PeisFu give them this
belief.
British Government Lies.
In order to deceive public opinion in
Its own country and the working
Glasses in other countries, the English
government declares that the cause OF
the blockade is the seizure of English
goods by the strikers and the break
ing of agreements by the Canton gov
eminent made between the English
and the Chinese.
The lies of the English imperialists
should mislead no one. 1t is not pos
sible today to overcome the reyolu
tionary Canton government with the
agreement which a defeated China
was compelled to make with the i'm
perialists after the shameful opium
war and after the bloody deeds OF
the imperialists against the Chinese
people in 1901. With such methods
the Canton government cannot be
forced to suppress the working class
movement.
Workers Must Protest.
The revolutionary workers Of the
world, In particular the workers OF

FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
Medical Sciences Warfare Must Be Fought Largely Through Educa- tion of Public.

Atlantic City N. J.. May 19 P)- The fight of medical science against cancer must be waged largely through education of the general public and elimination of the quack doctor and his harmful remedies, Dr. Francis Carter Wood told delegates attending the third session of the American Health congress today.
 Results from use of radium and X-ray he declared to be "disappoint- ing in comparison with the early and unjustifiable optimism with which the first reports were colored." but said progress in technique should in sure great improvement in the cura- tive effect of those two agents within the next ten years.
 The cancer situation was described as very unsatisfactory by Dr. Wood who is director of the institute of cancer research at Columbia Uniyer- sity. He held out hope for the fu- ture, however, in that present day methods for cure have not been eX- hausted.
 All the "quacks" fall into insigni- ficance when compared to the one who treats cancer through a desire to make money. Dr. Wood said. He characterized such a type "a profes- sional burglar" and urged that he he avoided, along with patent medi- cines and drugs.

CULBERTSON SAYS
 HE WAS NOT FIRED
Former Tariff Commissioner De-
 lends Presidents Stand

Washington, May 19 LP - Sum- moned from Rumania where he is American minister, William s. Cul- bertson. former tariff commissioner today told the special senate tariff investigating committee that he re- signed from the commission because his position had become intolerable and not because he was either forced off or tempted off.
 He defended President Coolidge iu his relations with the tariff commits sion. and criticised Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska. who brought about the investigation with a series of speeches in the senate, and Com missioner Costigan for using his pri- vate papers without his consent These papers he declared. were purely private and were never inten- ded 10 be anything else.
 Emphatically denying Senator Norris charges that efforts were made at the White House to coerce him into changing his stand on the sugar case he asserted that the president never so much as inti- mated that l change my position in the sugar case and never did change it."
 "The president always respected my view; of course I respected him." he continued. He never tried to urge me unduly nor was he at any time a party to the efforts which were made by disappointed appli- cants and lobbyists to freighten me into a more tractable position on tho tariff commission.
 50 far as l was ever aware, my personal relation witlTthe president continues as friendly after the incl dent concerning the sugar case as it was before. His attitude led me 10 believe that he viewed the sugar in cident as I did, namely, as an honest difference of opinion or what would promote the public interest.
 While I disagreed at times with the president on tariff and tariff commission matters, I agreed with his foreign policy and I was glad 10
 
 ister to Rumania. 1 resigned from the tariff commission, therefore. not because I was forced off, not because I was tempted off, but because l wanted to leave. To stay on the tariff commission was worse than futile; it was to continue to lend my name as a sanction 10 a situation which for me had become intoler- able" xX
 "I was never informed directly or indirectly that anyone desired or in tended 10 publish my papers. X X N
 Deploring any tendency to increase or decrease the tariff by politics, Mir. Culbertson said congress unfor- tunately had left the elastic tariff section open 10 more than one inter pretation, and if it did not wish the law more definite 1t should abolish the commission.
