WORKERS PARTY ISSUES CONVENTION STAMP;
URGES ALL COMRADES TO BUY THEM AT ONCE

The Workers (Communist) Party
has issued its convention assessment
stamps for the convention scheduled
for July 10th, 1927. This stamp has
been sent to all unit organizers ali
over the country. The sale OF the
stamp should be rushed and immedi
ately any of them have been sold the
money must be forwarded, half Of it
to the district office, and half to the
national office.
Any member Of the Party the or
ganizer Of whose unit has not re-
ceived these stamps should immedi-
ately communicate with the unit or
ganizer and with the national office.
The organizer of the unit should also
communicate with the national of
flee at once, because in many cases
the organizers Of units have been
changed or they have changed their
addresses. Any slowness in selling
these stamps, or in paying for them
TO the national office, may result in
the disfranchisement Of many mem
bers of the Party in the election for
the Forthcoming convention. There
fore it is the duty of all functionaries
and Party members to see to it that
these stamps are sold to every mem
Der of the Party and the money for
warded to the national and district
offices at once. No comrade will be
permitted to vote for delegates to
section, city, district or national CON
vention without having this paid up,
and the money properly forwarded.
The stamp contains the words.
Build the Party Fund, Convention
Assessment 1927, $100" and the
seal of the Party.
The assessment is for the purpose
of paying the expenses of the district
and national conventions. Therefore
30 cents for every stamp sold should
be sent to the National Office and
80 cents to the district office, except
in the case of members at large, who
send the full amount directly to the
national office.

Radio Monopoly to
Face First Legal
Test in D. C. Court

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Prep-
arations were completed today by the
Federal Radio Commission to defend
two court actions which challenge the
authority of the commission and the
constitutionality of the 1926 radio
law.
Following the demand Of station
WMSG, Madison Square Garden, New
York, for an injunction against the
commission, station VIGIL, operated
by the International Broadcasting
Association, has taken an appeal to
the District of Columbia court of APP
peals from wave length ALLEGATION
decision.
This case is the first instance of an
appeal from a decision of the COM
mission. The result will be the first
actual test of the constitutionality Of
the law, according to justice depart
ment officials, who are cooperating
with the radio authorities.
The radio commission was created
by special act of Congress, and has
been busy assigning valuable mon
opolies of the best wave lengths to
stations that will stand for the es-
tablished order in every way, and
will be able to make good use Of any
new inventions in the way of power
transmission that may appear in the
near future.

Brothels Kept by British.

Regarding the denial by Lolker-
Lampson in the House Of Commons
Of the report that fifteen-year-old
Chinese girls are employed by broth
els for British soldiers in the Interna-
tional Settlement Of Shanghai, it
is pointed out that the houses here
are operating openly, guarded by
British Military Police, and frequent
ed by British soldiers. There is every
evidence that the brothels are carry
ing on with official sanction despite
the fact that prostitution is illegal

TOKYO, June 21.-Editorial opin
ion in leading Japanese newspapers
is against the acceptance Of the pro-
posals sponsored by the United States
Mt the Tri-Partite Naval Conference
now in session at Geneva.
"The American proposals involve a
reduction in the present strength Of
the British and japanese navies," pro-
tests the "Hochi-Shimbun." Japan is
unable and unwilling TO accept the
American suggestions"
The Japanese plan, according to the
"Hochi-Smmbun," is the fairest pro.
posal before the conference.
The newspaper "Jiii Shimpo" OBJ.
iects to the American prospectus OF
the ground it means expansion and
not reduction Of naval armament.

Failure Is Seen.
Washington Rejects Proposals.

WASHINGTON, June 81. - The
American delegates at the Geneva
Arms Conference will not deviate very
far from the program OF limitation
formulated in Washington and pre-
sented to the conference. It was said
today, that the program presented by
Hugh Gibson goes about as far as it
is possible to go without putting the
United States navy in a position of
decided iuferiority to Great Britain
and Japan. Some give and take will
be necessary, it is anticipated here,
but the basic features Of the Amor
lean program are not likely to be al
tered.
The British contemporaries are
wholly unacceptable to the United
States. The more closely they were
examined today by naval experts here
the more unsatisfactory they became.
Japan's proposals, being somewhat
vague, are not understood in Wash
ington. Japan apparently is insisting
upon ratio of auxiliary ships greater
than that allotted to her in capital
ships under the 1921 agreement. This
Of course, is unsatisfactory to the
United States
