and brazenly. Ramsay MacDonald's speech was
effectively a defense. He agreed with Chamber
lain that the marines were going to China for po-
lice duty but feared that somebody would pull a
trigger and start trouble. Stanley Baldwin in re-
ply regretted that he could not send the London
Metropolitan police instead Even the liberal ia
ker Lloyd George vigorous in his criti-
csm of the government than Macdonald. Judging
from the news dispatches at hand as these words
being written, the left wing of the Parliament
tary Labor Party, such it is, took the leader
ship of the opposition this question out of the
hands Of Macdonald, and demanded that the Can
tonese demands be granted by the government
still ploughing the seas to China and bloody war;
that may develop into world conflagration, is in
the offing.

communication from Washington that Minister
MacMurray did not protest. 1t is almost mpos-
sible even for expert debunkers of the news that
appears in the capitalist press to separate the false
from the true.

they call concert of the powers against China,

true that the United States has dispatched war

The British government rewarded the right wing
leaders for their treachery to the miners in calling
off the General Strike, by introducing a bill out
lawing the general strike any kind of strike
that the government may feel like branding politi-
cal. While the right wing leaders may pretend to
oppose this they have no intention of doing So as
the existence of such law will enable them to stop
all demands for general strike in the future with
the reply that it is unconstitutional. However,
little thing like law is weak defense against the

London correspondents report that England does
not object to seeing submarine construction paired
down to minimum because that is where France
is strong, but England does not like the idea Of
reducing the number of light cruisers on her list
since she claims her trade routes are the longest
in the world and need protection. This is another
farce ard nothing will come of it except more hot
air. This is the usual jockeying that continually
takes place between the powers in the intervals of
peace. There cannot be any hope of turning swords
into pruning hooks as long capitalism exists.
Q HALL Coolidge run for another term? William
W Randolph Hearst, democrat, and Henry Ford,
nothing in particular, think he should. Nicholas NJ
Butler, chief ballyhoo of Columbia university
thinks he should not. In fact mick declares more
or less emphatically that "Cal" will not run. Per-
haps, and perhaps not. One thing is certain: The
imperialists will run two candidates, on both old
party tickets and both will be equally willing to
serve big business here and abroad. The workers
and farmers must organize their own party, La
Dor Party, and stop wasting their time guessing
what particular capitalist puppet succeeds in get
ting into the White House for four more years.

M HETHER you feel relieved or not because the

court, it is so. The senate reservations were not
accepted in full by England and Borah, Reed john
son, Moses and other anti-courters are in great
glee. Coolidge is mum usual The defeat of
several pro-cour senators in the last congressional
elections cured him of his enthusiasm for the court
Having failed as usual to carry anything he pro-
poses to victory, "Cal' made another bid for fame
by launching another fake disarmament conference
good time to pull it off, we admit while the
United States and England and all the other i'm
perialist powers to lesser extent are crushing the
weaker nations with naval and military force
Coolidge proposes a conference in Geneva with a
view to reducing naval appropriations. His recent
defeat by the big-navy crowd impelled him and his
hackers to try this tack.

IN Nicaragua Admiral Latimer. Wall Street en-
voy, continues to follow in the wake of the liberal
armies, declaring neutral territory every piece of
land they chase the Diaz forces out Of Kellogg
has notified Sacasa the constitutional president
that he will never be recognized. In view of this
attitude it is rather amusing to read that the state
department is opposed to intimating that it would
look with favor on Diazs resignation lest such ac-
ton might be construed as interference in the in
ternal affairs of Nicaragua. Now, who said that

to get into the Chinese scrimmage, for price of

So far the pages of the capitalist press open
to few faint squeaks from those who favor the
Cantonese. All those who know the facts of the
situation in China, privately admit that the Can
tonese are bound to win. Even missionaries whose
business it is to keep the masses supplied with
fables agree that the day of the miitarsts gone
by and that China, like Turkey viii cut the gordian
knot of unequal treaties with the sword. The al

AS the situation stands at the time of writing,
the Cantonese are advancing on Shanghai. Between
them and their objective the forces of Sun

are outlawed.

The Cantonese have approximately two-thirds of
China under their CONTROL The main struggle is
now taking place in the rich Yangtse valley, the
industrial heart and the commercial centre of the
country. Chang-Tso-Lin threatens to come down
from the north with his mercenaries to aid his har
raised ally Sun Chuan Fang, but General Feng
is waiting the side lines with disciplined force
of $4,000 ready to make chop suey out of
Changes army if they get too far from home WI
Pei-Fu who was quite big gun in Chinese affairs
a few years ago, and the favorite tool of Great
Britain, has spurned the attentions of Chang who
would let bygones be bygones provided WI got
busy and started in to work. WI vows that he
would just as be robbed by anybody else as by
Chang, who he trusts only little than he
trusts the Cantonese.
Chang is nothing if not vitriolic. When he
learned that WI could not be wooed by sweet words
he seized the weapon of sarcasm and proceeded to
jab it into Wu's emotional ribs He charged WI
with loafing the job for several months
while his friends were being roasted the Can
tonese spit. WI ineffective, incompetent,
played-out general, he said. Naturally this did not
make WI any more inclined to betake himself to
a shady nook and pen sonnets to Changes eyebrows.
Indeed, he gave Chang to understand that any Man
churian soldiers that trotted over WI territory
would be liable to make it their last resting place.
This is very good. Let us hope those two brgands
will get real crazy and fight it out with bare
lnuckles until both win.
The Picking government has nothing left but
few ministers and letterhead. The ministers
still allowed to be at large in the various capitals.
Indeed there is to believe that most Of them
are secretly in favor of the Nationalist Government.
Picking dispatch stated that the political element
in that government favored the Cantonese but what
can government without soldiers do? Chang-Tso-
Lin has the soldiers and tho he has no more legal
right to determine the policy of the government
than have, swords are migbtier than procama-
lions yet and Chang has the swords. Still the Pek
ing government has few kicks left in it and with
one Of the last of these is elected the British
toms agent for refusing to perform his duty
