n HE international race Of arma-
L ments has received another inn
petus in the decision of the United
States senate to start construction
work Immediately on three more
scout cruisers.
British impeliahst statesmen,
Japanese advocates of ian adequate
navy" the digger navy" politi-
clans of France, with the support
ers Of Mussolini's cutthtoat gov
ornment developing an expansion
list program. will all clamor little
louder, as a result, for more battle
ships Of their own. Just as the
American lingo press has been pub
fishing the pictures Of the latest
pattern war cruisers of Great Brit
ain and Japan, so the war hysteria
breeding press of London and
Toxic will now reproduce the like
nesses of the new American bat
tiers for dollar diplomacy" thus
wheeling the native appetite Tor
human slaughter. The armament
struggle between Great Britain,
France and Germany, in the days
before 1914, is thus expanded to
world proportions.
The senate vote is heralded as
defeat" for Coolidge's economy
program. While Coolidge holds his
hands in Old New England fashion
on the purse strings of the treas
ury, the bigger navy crowd, that
controls the senate, feels that it
can swill away as it sees fit the
money exacted from the masses of
the nation. Incidentally the vote
is just another nail in the coffin of
Coolidge's presidential aspirations
for 1928, by which time the war
preparations of American imperial
ism, with the rapidly developing
situations in Mexico, Nicaragua
and China, will have called for
many more than the three insignifi-
cant scout cruisers now favored.
The president was defeated by an
alliance of democrats and republi-
cans. In fact the democrats cast
the larger share of the votes against
( the White House. The measure was
passed with % democrats and only
"a republicans voting for it, thus
allowing the so-called anti-war op-
position party (democrats) in con-

the Lewis gang in all it's reactionary
red-baiting and anti-militant moves.
Alone they remained faithful when
all else had deserted the Lewis ban
ner on the issue of democracy in the
local unions on the two-year election
proposal. Massed in a solid body d.
rectly beneath Bittner's table on the
platform, they followed him blindly
into the one smashing defeat sus-
tanned by the machine.
Bittner FOOLED Weakly.
Bittner himself fails to measure up
to the Lewis crowd either in brow
beating or cunning. He fooled weak
~ on the local union election Ques-
ton. Reading his proposed constitu-
tional amendment, he moved adoption.
Hindmarsh, the aggressive independ-
ent from Illinois, asked him very de-
Gently to state his reasons for the
change.
"It's none Of your damned bust
ness" Bittner retorted, in effect.
Again Hindmarsh pressed for real
answer. Bittner flew into rage and
appealed to the chair to preserve
order" That started the fireworks
which led to the machines derail-
ment.
A dozen minor figures fought ac-
lively for recognition in Lewis eyes
as capable machine lieutenants. They
tried to out-Lewis Lewis in attacks
on the progressives, on union demo-
cracy and on the rank and file. Petty
men, they seemed puny Mussolinis
trying to catch the eye of Big Benito
himself.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The DAILY WORKER calls atten-
ton to the catches" in the British
proposals by putting the key words
in quotes. The word revision" can
mean anything that superior military
power can weave into IT, The British
are willing to "share" the administra-
ton Of British concessions with the
Cantonese. The latter simply say to
John Bull "Get out and stay out.
Well run our own country" Great
Britain is willing to trust the lives
Of her subjects to "modern" Chinese
courts. This is an evasion. British
subjects shall pay taxes provided they
are not "csnfiscatory or discrimina-
tory" Of course And another pole
cat among the picknickers is the fun
damental fact that Great Britain
fails to recognize the Cantonese gov
eminent.
Britain was sparring for time hop
ing that it would inveigle the Can
tonese into an atmosphere of delusory
peace while its armed forces were
speeding to Shanghai. Britain knew
that an engagement between the Can
tones and Sun Chuan-Fang's forces
was impending and hoped for Can
tonese defeat. This hope is now blast
ed. Perhaps the Cantonese will be too
busy between now and their arrival
in Shanghai to talk to the British,
eyceut with cannon.
There are persistent reports from
Washington that Coolidge is prepared
to cooperate with the British in keep
ing the Cantonese out Of Shanghai.
So far France has not taken a po-
sition one way or the other and ia
pan is reported to be conducting in
dependent negotiations with the Can
tonese. From what we know at the
present time the capitalist powers
have not yet arrived at a common
policy towards China. What they may
Go when the revolutionary armies
reach Canton remains to be seen, tho
all Washington reports indicate that
Coolidge is determined to carry out
the implications Of his secret deal with
the British.

the copy Of a memorandum which he
delivered to the British charge O'Mal-
icy on January ", stating that cit is
not and never has been the intention
Of the nationalist government to oc-
cupy the international settlement at
Shanghai
This memorandum pointed out that
though the Japanese and Americans
have large interests in Shanghai,
their governments have not found it
necessary TO resort to the massing Of
armed troops. 1t also states that the
nationalist government desires that
all questions relating to treaties shall
be settled by negotiation and agree
ment, including an agreement as to
the future of the international set
Element.
Apparently the British government
is instructiIg O'Malley to parley with
Chen pending the arrival of the ex-
petition which is being sent to China
by Great Britain.
BraIt was submitted.
The preliminary negotiations be-
tween Chen and O'Malley were con-
cluded last Saturday and on Sunday
a draft agreement was submitted for
correction. At this time Chen stated
that unforeseen events prevented his
signing On the following day he ex-
planned that the nationalist govern
ment was unable to sign such an
agreement while troops were being
concentrated at Shanghai.
The<impression prevails here that
after having received severe iolts
from both the Northern and Southern
governments of Gilman that the Brit
ish government has tA5S instructed
charge O'Malley to enter into nego-
tiations with the nationalists in an
attempt to explain away the dispatch
Of British troops to the number Of
10000 to China.
Great Britain has clearly indicated
that it is not willing to submit the
Chinese dispute to the league of
nations, and thus far there has been
no intimation that it is considering
meeting the Chinese demand and or
dering the recall of troops already
sent to China.
Another British Denial.
The foreign office issued a state
ment denying that negotiations be-
tween Eugene Chen and O'Malley
were broken OH. They simply
stopped discussing the foreign office

Lord Robert Cecil's explanation OF
Great Britain's refusal to submit the
AnglO-Chinese differences to the lea

was in state of civil war and was
unduly influenced by the Soviet I'M
ion, and since the Soviet union was

STILL Prosecuted
FOR OPPOSITION

ObiectOr Elected to Of
flee Must Fight for 1t

WASHINGTON (FP). - Troy
Deacon. Of Glen Rose, Tex, who was
elected county attorney for Somer-
ven county, that state, last Novem-
Der. has appealed to Rep. Victor L..
Berqer. Socialist, for information as
to whether his wartime conviction
under the espionage law will bar him
from serving as a county officer.
Deacon was convicted as an oppo-
nent Of the war policy of the Wilson
administration, as were many other
pacifists in the Southwest, and he
was sentenced to serve Is months in
Leavenworth prison. At the end Of
gla months he was paroled. Now his
political enemies have brought quo
warranto proceedings to prevent his
acting as county prosecutor. They
claim he cannot hold Office because he
was not pardoned.
Deacon inquiries whether there was
not issued a general amnesty which
restored citizenship rights to all po-
litical prisoners.
No Amnesty Granted.
No such amnesty was ever grant
ed. Prisoners were paroled, not par
doned, although pardons were Sc
cured by some Of them, afterward, on
their formal application.
When a nationwide appeal for .
pardon to clear the record Of Eugene
y. Debs was sent to President Cool
idge, he referred it to the Depart
ment of Justice, which unofficially
declared that his conviction and SEN
tence had not deprived him Of citizen
ship. 1t claimed that if he were de-
prlved of the right to vote or hold
office in his state, th1t would be due
to state laws.
Deacon will be supplied with a
blank on which he may apply for a
pardon to clear his federal citizen
ship record. But the case against
MIN in Texas will rest on state law,
ii there be any.

nests with Hiram Johnson, erst-
while California progressive, in the
new battleship program.
Farmers VINO pass resolutions
against militalism will learn that
Senator McNary, of Oregon, who
was selected to introduce the Nc
Nary farm relief bill in the senate,
stood side by side with Senator
Steck, the democrat, from bank
lupt Iowa, in spending more money
for death-dealing floating fortress
es.
Only Is republicans, along with
eight democrats, voted with the
president This included most of
the farm bloc, with scattering Of
democrats, from all sections Of the
country, and Shipsted, the farmer
labor senator from Minnesota. This
aggregation includes those who arc
the most vicious critics of the
president ON other issues, altho the
teeth of their enti-White House at
tack have been almost completely
drawn.
The vote indicates the weakness
of any real anti-war sentiment in
the United States senate. The war
group has a majority, on this show
ing, of at least two to one. An in
creased number, including Borah,
Capper, Deneen, Ernst, Giilett and
Lenroot, among the republicans
alone, who voted against the cruis-
ers, can easily be beaten into line
for the open declaration of actual
war against Mexico, Nicaragua or
China.
Workers and farmers, therefore,
who harbor the illusion that con-
gress will stop the war;" should
awaken from their comfortable
dreams and realize the actual stu
alton confronting them. Congress
is one OF the least obstacles in the
path toward the new slaughter
abyss.
The biggest obstacle that can be
offered to the mailed fist Of U. S.
imperialism is the might of the
working class. The favorable vote
of the senate for more cruisers is
danger signal to all labor to or
ganize for greater struggles
against the approaching war. No
cannon fodder for the imperialists.
No more battleships for dollar
diplomacy" No shipment of NUM-
tons to the new battlefronts. Thus
labor develops the strength to de-
feat the next imperialist slaughter.
