DEFENDS LEGAL
LIMITATION OF
LAND HOLDINGS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Refusal OF
the Filipinos thru their legislature at
Manila to repeal the land laws, under
which no more than $500 acres can be
owned by any one individual or cor
poration, is defended by Vicente G..
Bunuan, director of the Philippine
Press Bureau in Washington, in a
statement on the rubber situation.
He frankly says that the desire of
American capitalists to exploit the
rubber-producing possibilities of the
Philippines is one of the chief obsta-
cles to the granting Of independence
to his people.
The Filipinos, says Bunuan, want to
1elp the Americans to solve their rub
Der supply problem. But they know,
as all other peoples know, that chat
country is happiest and most peaceful
which has its national wealth evenly
distributed"
This policy reflects the conserva-
ton era Of Americas history, and was
implanted in the Philippines by con.
gress itself when It passed the Philip
Dine organic act of 1902, which con
tanned provisions even more restrict
I've than those in the present law"
He points out that rubber can be
grown successfully on tracts smaller
than the present law allows, and that
there is no reason why a rubber com.
pany should not secure supplies of raw
material from. owners of adjacent
tracts, just as the sugar centrals buy
millions OF dollars worth from sugar
owners, under contract.
Finally, he quotes resolution de-
livered to Carmi Thompson, investi.
gator for President Coolidge, by the
Philippine legislature, In which the
Filipinos declare that only independ-
ence will give them the powers neces.
sary TO shape our economic policies"
to make easy the coming to the islands
of foreign capital. They refuse to
permit the ownership OF vast tracts
OF land by aliens or big corporations
for Selfish exploitation Of our natural
resources"

BRITISH NAVAL
FORCES SHOWN
EMPIRE ENJOYS

LONDON, ct. 31.--The British ad-
mirality threw little party in the
English channel yesterday afternoon
for the benefit of the delegates to
the empire conference. Participating
in the party, were fifty warships, the
cream OF the British navy.
The admiralty did not go to the
trouble and expense OF putting on the
show in order to provide an after.
Moons entertainment for the guests.
The reasons were deeply political.
Empires Sun Setting.
There is a growing feeling thruout
the world that the British empires
sun dis setting. The uneasiness In
some of the dominions may be attri-
buted to the common disinclination
to be hitched on to a dying body. To
show the dominion ENJOYS that the
lion is not toothless by any means
the British government ordered the
admiralty to call out the war dogs. In
case any or all of the dominions are
threatened by foreign foe those war
dogs could bite as well as bark.
Then there is another reason. South
Africa is talking too much about In
dependence to suit Downing St. South
Africa had better not get too fresh.
This is the meaning of the display
Of naval force in the channel.

ing of D. 3. Chips, ZIMMERMAN, Rev
j. Frank Norris, pastor of the First
Baptist Church here, exploded bomb

ing for change Of venue. 1t came as
a complete surprise and took the pros

Norris Noted Cunman.
Today is not the first experience of
Rev. Norris in a courtroom, or the
Chips killing not the first time he has
been known to use a gun.
In 1912 he was accused Of arson in
the burning of his home. Later he
was indicted on charges of burning
his church. He also was accused of
perjury in connection before a grand
jury which investigated the home
burning. He was acquitted on the
perjury case on an instructed verdict,
and was acquitted on one of the arson
charges. The other was dismissed for
insufficient evidence.
Slapped Preachers Face.
Several years ago Rev. Norris had
some trouble with the late Bob Poe,
veteran Fort Worth constable. Poe
met the preacher on the street one
day and slapped his face.
Norris pulled a gun and marched
the constable to the church, where he
kept him prisoner for some time, dur
ing which he talked matters over with
Poe. At one time, also, he was shot
by a cattle rustler who attacked his
father.
Rev Norris repeatedly has told of
the necessity of his having to have
gunner to protect him.

Battle Many Obstacles
in Struggle for Labor
Unity in the Pacific
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

GREAT obstacles confront the am
~ bilious plan to hold a Pan-Paci-
fic Trade Union Conference at Can
ton, China, May 1, 1927.
Not the least Of these is the color
question, that must be overcome in
order to bring together the white,
brown and yellow workers OF the
nations bordering the worlds great
est ocean.
That this issue must be fought
out before any successful conference
can be held was seen in the attitude
Of some sections Of the Japanese
labor movement, Directing to the
gathering being held at the capital
of the revolutionary government of
South China.
Delegate ]. S. Garden, of the New
South Wales Labor Council, report
ing as secretary of the Third ALL
Australian Trade Union Congress,
declared that the majority of invita-
lions forwarded by the Australians
to the Japanese workers organiza-
tions had been returned. The Japan
csc government announced to the
Australian labor officials that it re-
fused to deliver them. The invita-
lions were addressed mostly to the
Japanese Rado Kumiai Hyogikai-
generally called HyogikaD. The
labor organizations afiliated with
this central body total As unions,
having an estimated membership of
about 10000.
1t is pointed out that this section
of the japanese working class unites
the left" or revolutionary clements
in the trade union movement of Jar
pan. The vicious police regulations,
brought into being under labor bait
ing laws adopted by Mikado rule,
are so extreme that trade unions
with the merest left wing tenden-
cies, have to work and meet semi
illegally. This section, however, is
expected to give its hearty support
to the purpose of the Pan-Pacific
Conference and every effort will no
doubt be made to develop the clos
est possible contact with 1t.
The other section Of the organized
Japanese labor movement, termed
the Sodomei, under the leadership
of Susuki, somehow received the in
vitation Of the Australian workers,
but turned 1t down under the plea
that the Australian trade unions be-
neved in the White Australia policy.
The trade union officials point out
that this is the policy Of the Labor
Party, that this policy is not sup
ported by the trade unions, and that
this issue must not be raised as
an obstacle to Pan-Pacific Trade
Union Unity. This section Of the
Japanese labor movement will no
doubt raise the same question
against the American Federation of
Labor, revealing the inevitable clash
that must take place when labor
elements in different countries ac-
quiesce in the imperialist policies of
their own capitalist governments,
