Pirtlevil1e precinct, after having been
included in the Douglas precinct for

ing as little place all its own again,
with justice of the peace and a con-
stable. The new justice is Ollie Phil

office for this term against formidable
opposition
The new officers took over their
posts Monday and found everything in
good order. They opened the justice
court which is situated on the main
street of Pirtleville. Nothing happened
On Tuesday papers in several civil
cases were served, but no criminals
tried by the new judge.

precinct is in the way of setting a new

REQUIEM SERVICE FOR
LATE FOTINA XALIS

Tuesday morning at II o'clock a re-
ligious service of especial interest and
import was rendered at the local ceme-
terry. It was a requiem within the
furnished tomb of the late Fotina
Xalis. The husband of the deceased,
James Xalis, with his little children
and immediate relatives, together with
a representative company of friends
and neighbors, entered the tomb. And
there, to the husband and the chill
dren, the Rev. Ernest w. Simonson
administered the benefit Of the holy
eucharist.
It was indeed a solemn company of
worshipers, and no other service could
! have pronounceJ more actually the
fact of the eucharistic presence .
There was the feeling with all who
were present of being sealed into a
unity by an entrance into that pres
ence, and beneath the impress of the
words which were there spoken, it be-
came easy to visualize with those who
are yet living an earthly life the living
loved ones "gone, on before"
Prayers were said for the repose of
the soul of this departed member of
the household of faith, and an inter
cession for comfort and consolation
toward those who mourn
Rev Mr. Simonson, in a few well
chosen words, explained the meaning
of the ceremony. and held the life
present to an expression of it's faith
that
"The souls of the righteous are in
the hand Of God and no torment can
touch them; in the eyes of the unwise
they seem to die and their departure
is taken for misery; but they are at
neace." CONTRIBUTED.

By GEORGE HARDY.

The Pan-Pacific Trade Union Gene
ference held at Hankow was vital and
timely. Subsequent events have
proved an adequate and correct an
alysis of current trade union and labor
problems was made. The perspectives
drawn from political and economic
contradictions prevailing in every
capitalist camp enabled the Confer
ence decisions to form an accurate
basis for strengthening the workers
organizations. Great steps was laid
upon the need for Trade Union Unity
in every country around the Pacific
ocean.
Pacific War Danger.
The big question confronting the
masses in the East and West is the
war danger in the Pacific. This is
illustrated clearly in Austen Cham
berlain's Vaccinations against the So
Wet Union in the East, and his eager
desire to find an ally for his reaction
airy policy in China. That this ally
is not likely to be found in America
has been demonstrated by the refusal
to cooperate with Britain in punitive
action on the Yangtze, regardless of
the fact that Marking was jointly
bombarded. If London should sue
coed in finding some support, result
ting in a hardening of his China policy
as against the American "open-door"
policy, antagonisms will be strength
ened.
1t is no accident that American
bankers take a very serious view of
the existing friction which increases
with intensified competition in world
markets. Nor are their remarks
wild statements made by hot-headed
agitators, but come from those who
are directly affected. We therefore re-
produce their opinions. Incidentally
they embody the elements contained
in the warnings enunciated at our
Pan-Pacific Trade Union Conference.
They are the very arguments given
by our Australian fellow workers who
put forward their plea for an all en-
bracing trade union movement around
the Pacific. The October issue Of
THE Bankers Magazine" openly state
in their comment upon the failure Of
what they rightly call "the Geneva
Naval Conference:
British-u 5. Naval Race.
I'm fact, within the limitations
fixed by the Washington Disarma-
ment Conference, something like p
race in naval construction between
Great Britain and the United States
may be expected. The expiration of
that limit may be the signal for an
unrestrained race in naval construc-
ton between the two countries.
g. T e British Government
clearly recognized the fact that how
ever often it might be declared that
war between the United States and
Great Britain is unthinkable,' the ma
val policy of England was not to be
shaped by any sentiment of This kind.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-12-19

a@"What today is the most potential
cause of war? Does it not consist of
international rivalry in trade and fl
nance? And are not the two greatest
rivals in this field at the present time
England and the United States?"
These statements do not mean i'm
mediate war between Britain and
America but they do mean war. If
these are the publically expressed SEN
timents which arise from trade hos
tilities, then we need no great I'M
agination to fathom the plans Of both
Britain and America behind closed
doors. The workers, especially those
of the Pacific countries, have every
reason to be perfecting their organi-
cations, to prevent the Pacific States
from becoming the cockpit in which
they will draw each others blood on
behalf of their respective imperialist
masters.
Capitalism's Watch Dogs.
The first essential thing in every
country is to overhaul It's national or
CARNATIONS. In every country there
exists many divisions in our ranks.
These must be eliminated as quickly
as we can arrive at amicable under
standings. We must get rid Of the
reactionary labor imperialists acting
as officials of trade unions, as they
constitute the greatest menace and
will never relinquish their posts with
out a strenuous fight.
They are the watch-dogs of capt.
talism within the ranks of the labor
movement. In most cases they out do
their imperialist leaders in violently
opposing the reforms in trade union
structure and tactics. We refer chiefly
to such types as Suzuki in Japan and
William Green and Matthew Vol in
America. In these two imperialist
countries the labor movement is at a
very low ebb.

Completely destroyed the resistive
power Of the unions in nearly every
