Empty Bottles Bring Inn
perialist Plans
Especial to The Daily Worker,

PARIS, Aug. 80. - At the summer
watering place Of Evian Les Bains
there is water, but there is also wine.
And around the tables Of the Hotel
Royal these days, gather three great
American flnanciers partaking Of the
aforesaid wines and the best of French
dishes, along with a discussion of
what is to be done to rivet American
financial control more firmly upon
Europe.
These Americans are Andrew Mel
Ion, secretary of the U. S. treasury,
Benjamin Strong, governor of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Of New York, and
S. Parker Gilbert, commissioner gem
eral Of reparations.
Strong has been in conversations
with Montagu Norman of the Bank Of
England and Hjalmar Schacht of the
German Reichsbank. OF course this
was done while all parties were mere
ly on a vacation" as Secretary Mellon
also protests. But it is now learned
from Count Volpi, minister of finance
Of Italy that Mr. MELONS visit to Mus
solini was not merely plat, but that
the entire financial scheme of fascism
was discussed.
The same for these wine parties at
Evian Les Bains. Strong is due to go
to Paris and arrange a later meeting
between Mellon and Poincare or some
high official Of the French cabinet.
But it is all mere vacation" on the
surface, and the wine is excellent.

U. S. ACTS AS
COLLECTOR OF
CHINA'S DEBT
Demands China Issue No
Internal Loan

WASHINGTON, Aug. S0.-The Am
erican government is sending a sharp
note to the Chinese government at
Picking, demanding that It cease its
project to raise $4,000, 900 by an in
ternal loan using the Chinese import
duties as security, on the grounds
that China owes a number of Ameri-
can firms and banks considerable
money.
A Collection Agency.
The Coolidge government makes no
disguise of its action as a collection
agency for American bankers and
business concerns. It's note to the
Picking government, sent in the name
Of the American legation, says in
part:
"In these circumstances the lega-
ton finds 1t necessary to remind the
Chinese authorities once again of the
unfulflled liabilities in respect of the
arrears of service of the Chinese gov
ernmental obligations due to Ameri-
can citizens and companies. The list
is long and should be well known, in
cludes the American share In the HUI

SHANGHAI, Aug, 80. All signs
point to the coming victory OF the

Feng Yu-shiang returned to Urga, in

Feng has been made a member of
the national committee OF the Kuo-

eminent.
WI, dangerously pressed by the
Cantonese, now driving his troops be-
fore them at Hsienning, is trying to
rush troops southwark on the Picking
Hankow railroad. An evidence Of the
power of the liberation movement be-
hind Wu's lines is seen in the dyna-
hitting of q railway bridge twelve
miles north Of Hankow, preventing
Wu's getting reinforcements into
Handow from the north while the Can
tonese are attacking.
Forcing Respect from Sun.
Another indication of the wide up
rising against the reactionary tools Of
foreign imperialism is seen in the an
nouncement, wholly unexpected, of
General Sun Chuan-fang, who controls
FIVE provinces on the lower Yangtze
river, that he will not permit his
troops to attack the Cantonese in aid
Of WI Peifu unless the Cantonese
Invade" his claimed jurisdiction.
Chang Saving Himself.
In addition, Chang Tso-lin. the Man
churian dictator, who is supposed to
be aiding WI. Is actually doing moth
ing for his ally, and is in financial
straits, having had his puppet Picking
government levy an internal loan
against the desires of the powers sup
porting him, and seizing the Chinese
Eastern railway properties, which is
owned by the Soviet government, as
well as footing and robbing right and
left.
This last action OF Chang, It is ex-
pected, may bring down more trouble
than the reactionary dictator can get
around. even with the support Of the
imperizlist mowers, chiefly Iana-,. ure.-
which Chang relies for backing
against both the liberation movement
and the Soviet Union.
