British Dominions to
Insist on Autonomy
at Empire Conference

LONDON, Oct. 13-Tn spite OF pre-
vious predictions that Premier S. N.
Bruce Of Australia would take stand
opposed to the program Of more auto
nomy demanded by the dominons at
the imperial conference, the dominion
ties are expected to put Bruce for
ward as their spokesman upon that
program.
Bruce is known as the most loyal
Of all dominion premiers to the EN-
pire, hence anything he says cannot
be discounted as coming from extrem-
ist sources or enemies of the empire
Bruce has his ideas well fixed as 10
what must be done and he Is before
all convinced that If something defiD-
lite is not done, this win be the last
of the imperial conferences. The con
ference three years ago passed reso-
buttons but accomplished nothing.
Australia demands that In Pacific
problems, especially touching defense
matters, she herself, and not Great
Britain, must set the policy. Canada
and South Africa are supporting
Australia in this as both have inter
ests demanding dominion autonomy.
But If all get what they wish, the
British empire viii be disintegrated.

and Orderly Force

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s.-RadicaI
China is providing the only safeguard
to American and other foreigners in
the midst Of the bitterest civil war the
country has yet known while reac-
tionary and militarist China is turn
ing a savage face toward its foreign
allies.
That is the perplexing fact which
American state department oficials
gather from the endless flow Of dis
patches from Picking. Hankow, Shang-
hal and Canton. 1t is confirmed by
special press dispatches from China
and is now dignifled by reluctant
editorial in the New York Times
which always has influence with diplo-
matte Washington.
Expected Red Terror
Frank Lockhart was sent TO Han
kow as American consul-general to
watch over American commercial In
terests In central China and to report
on the dangerous spread OF the ma
tionaHst doctrine OF the "red" govern
ment at Canton. When the Cantonese
forces started northward and cap
tured Hankow he was greatly
alarmed. @
Foreign powers, except the Soviet
Union, had backed the miHtarists,

Chang stayed In the north. LockhArt

Of some sort, due to the restoration Of
liberty to the working masses whom

Now Lockhart reports the Canton

militarist Sun Chuan-fang is marking

indiscrtminate massacre and looting.

Labor Representatives
Baldwin's commission was ostens-
ibly created in order TO help British
manufacturers pay a wage scale more
nearly up to the American wage level.
Two Representatives Of British labor
and two spokesman of British en-
ployers are among its members. The
labor men are Ernest Bevin, secre-
tary of the Transport and General
Workers Union, and J.: Taylor, execu-
tive board member Of the Amalga-
mated Engineering (Machinists) I'm
ions. The employers men are Mich
ael B. Dewar and Randolph Smith.
Sir William Mackenzie Is chairman.
He Is assisted In the impartial" posi-
ton by r. W. Leggett, assistant sec
rotary Of the international relations
department of the ministry OF labor;
l. Haig Mitchell, principal Cancellation
officer OF the ministry, and n. O: EN-
erson, acting as secretary.
Trying to Crush Miners.
This commission was sent to Amer
lea while Baldwin's tory majority In
parliament was trying to crush che
British miners union. IT'S announced
purpose IS 70 find out why American
employers can pay high wages and
still make profits while British en-
ployers are paying low wages and
making no profits. In view Of Bald
wins private status as a manufac-
turer and tory, the majority report
which will follow an admiring tour Of
the plants of Mellon, Ford, Schwab,
General Electric, International Har-
vester, Baldwin Locomotive and
other concerns may be readily fore
cast
That report Is likely 70 declare that
American employers who have made
gigantic output possible and ara pay
ing high wages are untrammelled by
a let OF trade union rules and agree
ments. It may offer a theory of In
dustrlal auteeracy as the basis for re-
organization of British industry on q
modern mass-prpductlon plan. II will
eulogize the helpfulness of the anti
union corporations In the United
States and will dep1ere the class Bit
terness maintained In Britain through
strikes and trade union activities.
Such a report by. the majority may be
anticipated IN view Of the political
and economic situation faced by the
tories.
Natural Resources Abundant.
Points likely be-. be, overlooked by
the Baldwin commissions majority
are the struggle Of the more aggress-
i've elements of American labor to

boats Il followed by the news Of Eng
lands Intention to mobilize additional
forces for active and determined inter
ventton In the Chinese civil war, to-
gether with the proposal for more con-
certed alliance IN China between Eng.
land and Japan is an indication OF the
desperate straits in which world I'M
perialism finds itself tn the faoe OF the
splendid onward march Of the ma
tionalist and revolutionary armies.
These provocative measures, TO-
gether with the inspired attacks By
Tohang Tso Lin on the Russo Chinese
controlled Chinese Eastern Railway,
are tar from omens OF peace. There
~ no doubt Of the intention Of Great
Britain, the leader OF the antiSoviet
European bloc, to provoke the Rus
sian workers government into a war.
There rs equally little doubt of the
discrimination OF the British imperial
lists to strain every nerve to prevent
the inevitable victory OF the Can
tonese and Kuominchun troops thru
out China. A straw In the wind Is the
dispatch OF the 6,000-ton British
cruiser Dartmouth from Plymouth to
China TO join the squadron already
stationed there.
TAPAN Is taking advantage of the
- desperate needs OF the sadly frayed
British imperialists to loan her sup
port at high rates. She demands, in
return for support TO an open inter-
ventionist policy, British support to
her own imperialist ambitions in North
China and the abandonment by Brit
ain of the plan 10 improve and
strengthen the Singapore naval base.
Chinese progressive forces have al
ready protested bitterly against this
new development. Wahnsien papers
are urging the formation OF national
anti-English alliance, the boycott OF
all British goods In China and the dts
solution OF all economic and CONNER
cial bonds with England. The Kuo-
mintang party. whose national con-
gress opened October 1. has as the
last point on its agenda Agitation
