Unity of Anglo American
Labor Against the Unity
Of Anglo American Greed
BY ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

British rights China "unti the Chinese could preserve
order wherever their authority existed"
That stand Immediately becomes Of interest to all la
Dor in this country because the policies of British I'M
periasm in the Orient and dovetai with the
policies Of Washington and Wall Street.
Thus there originates in London the following Inter
national News Service Dispatch
LONDON, March 20, (INS).-Reports that the Unit
ed States government has agreed place its forces in
Shanghai under the general British command were cur
rent here today aho the reports stated that there is
conflict between the leaders of the American and
British forces in Shanghai to how this cooperation
shall be carried out"
This report is partially confirmed from Washington
where is admitted that "a certain of cooper
alton between the various powers is recognized
essary in the disturbed situation at Shanghai"
To be sure the Washington government for the sake
Of appearances tries put the face of independent
action The report from the White House offers this
camouflage:
complete American control and direction and will not be
pooled with the forces of other powers subjected
to any international control it announced at the
White House today, following the cabinet meeting.
g. It emphasized that the U. S. marines and
hiuejackets will retain their Identifies and there will be
unified control"
The sugar-coatng this bitter imperialis pill should
not fool American labor If the enemy imperiasts can
pool their interests in fighting the Chinese workers and
peasants then the workers of the United States and
Great Britain ought be able to develop their solidarity
In the House of Commons Monday, Ernest Thurtle
Labor Party member from Shoreditch called the aten
ton of Sir Austen Chamberlain to the charge of General
Chang KaiShek Of the Peoples Armies, that the Nan
king looting and outrages committed by northern
troops driven out when the Southern Army entered the
city.
Of course, Austen Chamberlain after the best man
of secretary of state Kellogg who has lie
mill all his that is busy trying to get him out
of his latest dilemma in Mexico, answered.
Information derived from British and American
sources is to the contrary"
The lies of the American kept press are as welcome
to Chamberlain as the support from American guns.
The dispatch, to what took place in the Brit
ish House of Commons declared:
"A few other Laborites questioned him (Chamberlain)
regarding the happenings in Marking but the Laborite
Leaders remained quiet and the government benches
shouted down anything that sounded like criticism of
the governments policy"
Thus the toiling masses in Great Britain, and the
situation the in the United States develop
their struggle against their chosen but traitor
leadership, in support of the Chinese working class
The clash in China just now centers in the Yangtze
Kiang Valley, where "the interests" of Great Britain
dominant among the imperialists. The British are
invaders in the Yangtze. Every fright" claimed by the
British, which Chamberlain says proud Britain will not
surrender is privilege imposed the Chinese people
In his book "The Awakening of China" James H.
Dolsen points out:
when the other great powers at the close the last
century were parceung Chlna among themselves into
spheres of influence England secured the recognition
of her priority rights for the exploitation of the Yangze
Kiang Valley.
This district includes the rich central provinces in
which her financers have heavily invested in coal and
iron mines The very powerful British and Chinese Cor
poration Ltdformed jointly by the Hongkong- Shang-
hal Banking Corporation the great English bank of the
Orient, and Jardine, Maheson Co., the leading Brit
ish commercial firm in the Far East-represents the
interests of Great Britain in that part of the world
while British with the Orient suffered
greatly during the World War and the trade Japan
and the United States largely increased England is still
the largest factor in Chinas world thru her
control of Hongkong.
"O late years British capitalists have invested large
in the erection of cotton factories silk mills etc
Indicative of the spread of their the rise in
the number of English firms in China from 236 in 1880
to 500 in 1913. Five of the largest cotton mills in
Shanghai are British owned"
It is to protect these British Interests" as we'll
American investments that will be reviewed in an
other article, that a regiment of marines is being
hurredy assembled in this country to be rushed to
the other side of the earth. The Anglo-Amercan I'm
periast Alliance is being knit together in defense of
profits in the Orient Before Marking the murder guns
Of the navies of both Great Britain and the United
States joined in saughterng thousands Of peaceful in
habtants.
Marking shelled contrary to all the laws Of So
called civilized warfare" Marking is unfortifed
city, teemng with half million people. This should
have been protection enough against the rain of death
that only the weapons of modern warfare able to
nfct But profits at stake in China and the PeO-
ples army had taken Marking bringing it under
the revolutionary banner and the laws Of Civilized war
fare" did not apply
In the Of profits, the Anglo American alliance
holds Shanghai 1t plans duplicate there on larger
scale, the wholesale murders that it committed at
Marking.
WAR" on the Chinese people is the plan of the
Wall Street mperialsts. This easily be read into
the latest report of Minister to China MacMurray and
