NAVAL BASES Up
FOR DISCUSSION
AT CONFERENCE
Japan, Britain Reach
Compromise

GENEVA, July 18.-The United
States delegation to the trf-partite
naval conference will present counter
proposals to the Anglo-Japanese sug-
gestions for an agreement as put
forth yesterday upon the basis of
100000 tonnage basis for both the
United States and Japan. This basis
is objectionable to the United States
and is 100000 tons higher than it's
compromise proposal of a week ago
and 100000 tons higher than its or
iginal proposals.
Hugh S. Gibson will bring up as
eslnter-proposals the question of
naval bases which is a direct blow at
Great Britain. The question Of cruiser
tonnage is intimately connected with
the question Of naval bases. Great
Britain has string Of bases through
out the world so close together that
ships much lighter than the ones used
by the United States can be effec-
lively utilized for her navy. Britain
has proposed that cruiser tonnage be
reduced to 1900. With such cruisers
she can traverse the seven seas,
whereas the United States would find
her light cruisers crippled and unable
to proceed to the Far East because
of the great distance between naval
bases. Hence to raise the question of

Fight Dangerous

NIAGARA FALLS, July 1S.-The
local section of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party is arranging huge
protest meeting at which demands
will be made for the elimination of
dangerous railroad crossings in tho
working-class sections of this city.
The recent tragedy in which the
family of Samuel Pawloff an active
member of the Workers Communist
Party and Of the Plumbers Union was
wiped out at an unguarded crossing
in the heart of the workers residen-
tial section, has aroused the workers
Of this city and forced even the City
Council to make a gesture of protest.
Thousands of workers among whom
they lived, filed past the seven cof-

mains of Comrade Pawloff's wife and
six children were laid. Over thous-

raid was under the joint supervision
Of the French and the Marking BAN
dts of Chang Kai-shek. The search
did not yield any evidence for the
counter-revolutionar and conspira-
tors against the Soviet Union, so the
police came back at night and it IS
likely that they brought with them
forged documents to be used as manu-
featured evidence against the officials
of the bank. After sealing the pre-
misses and arresting the Soviet citi-
zens, Stoyanovich and Golianovsky at
the demand of the Marking despot,
Yang-hu, a general known for his
bloody reprisals at Nangpo, Shanghai
and other places statement was
issued to the effect that evidence
was found proving that the arrested
men were engaged in Bolshevist pro-
paganda.
The prisoners were handed over to
a special military tribunal, noted for
it's summary dealings with Communi-
lists. Koslovsl1y, general CONSUL of
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies at Shanghai, insisted that the
military authorities have no right ar
bitrarily to arrest Soviet citizens and
hand them over to special extraordi-
nary courts. Koslovsky demanded
trial in civil courts and his demand
was satisfied and The prisoners hand
ed over to the civil authorities.
White Guard ProvocatiOn.
The illegal search and seizure and
arrests are the result of the agitation
carried on by the imperialist bribed
white guard press that is indulging
in the most disgraceful provocation
against the workers and peasants of
China and the Soviet Union and is
part of the general imperialist con-
spiracy against the Chinese revolu-
ton and the Soviet Union.

naval bases is an attempt to place
Britain in a defensive position in the
conference.
Britain and Japan Agree.
On the other hand the agreement
between Britain and Japan on total
cruiser tonnage is considered a blow
against the United States represen-
tatives who have been striving to in
duce Japan to line up against Britain.
The present Tanaka cabinet in ia
pan is in favor of revival of the
Anglo-Japan alliance as it consid-
ers that such an alliance will enable
it to share jointly with Britain the
exploitation of China, while the
United States win use its immense
power to reduce, in the course of a
few years, even Japan to the position
of vassal state.
The agreement between Bkitain and
Japan has unquestionably placed the
United States in a sorry predicament
as far as the conference is concerned,
because Hugh Gibson stated that any
agreement or compromise reached by
the two powers would be satisfactory
to the United States. That utterance
was made when any sort of agree
ment seemed hopeless. Now Gibson's
bluff has BEEN called and he is striv-
ing to save his face.

to open the mines. They admit that
the work will proceed slowly, but they
expect little trouble. They are being
aided by another section of the min
ers' union, according to report. James
Kunik, leader of so-called insurgent
group in the Bellaire district, is ready
to support Daugherty, and to make a
compromise This shows that treach-
cry is being practiced in the miners
union. II is clear that if Lewis does
nothing-but let's the situation slide,
such men as Daugherty and Kunik
will find ready ear among the min
ers.
Relief for tire miners must be or
ganized. If they know that the labor
movement will stand behind them, they
will be exposed to no temptation at
the hands of the coal operators. But
if they are allowed to starve. then
there is no doubt that they will be
brought to their knees. 1t is the duty
Of the labor movement to get behind
the striking miners--and to do it
quickly. Otherwise the siren voices
Of the Daughertys and hunks will
lure the miners--to their destruction.
Whether the coal operators are
bluffing or mean earnest will be dis
closed tomorrow. Lee Hall and G. w.
Savage, district officials, are now in
Bellaire, where they expect the first
attempt to be made.

Red Raids in Holland

July 1S.-Dutch imperialist Off

Communist plot to subjugate the
islands of Holland" and have

satisfied native leaders and Off
GERS of trade unions.
Exploitation of the native pro-

lands is very severe, and the re-
pressions of the native petty bour-
geoisie makes it somewhat of an
ally of the workers. A deep seated

Wuhan Political Crisis.

HANKOW, July 1S.-There is
protracted political crisis in the WI
han government that is slowly APP
preaching a solution. Many observ-
ers expected the final solution of the
coup which was being carried out dur
ing the last few weeks. However, the
final achievement of the coup against
the Communists has evidently been
postponed for time.
NJ. Borodin, advisor to the National
list government, left Saturday for Ku-
ling, well-known mountain resort
near Kiu-Kiang. His departure is be-
ing explained in various ways. Some
see in it Borodin's disagreement with
internal policy recently pursued by
the Wuhan government. Others es-
innate Borodin's departure as consent
of the Wuhan government to demands
of Feng, the so-called Christian gen.
eral who has gone over to the counter
revolution, that Borodin be granted
leave Of absence.
Apparently the majority of the
Wuhan government has definitely de-
cided to separate themselves" from
Communists. 1t is reported that the
members of the Central Committee at
Wuhan actually passed resolution re-
garding the removal of Communists
from all posts in the executive COM
mittee of the government, the execu-
tive of the leading organs of the Kuo-
mintang and the army and to deprive
them of membership in the Kuomin-
tang.
The scoundrels and agents of Chi
ang Kai-shek, the traitor and of
Feng, in the service of the counter
revolution who are in majority in
the Wuhan government are afraid of
the wrath of the members of the
Kuomintang so they assert that these
measures against the vanguard of the
revolution, the Communists, are only
temporary, pending the final solution
of the question at the third congress
of the Kuomintang.
1t is proposed to carry through
these counter-revolutionar resolu-
tons at the next session of the CEN
trail committee which is scheduled to
meet today or tomorrow.
Today the political committee of
the Kuomintang adopted the following
resolution: Ito within a months
time call plenary session of the Gen.
trail Committee, to discuss and decide
questions submitted by presidium of
the political bureau. Pending con-
vocation plenary session the Central
Committee to prohibit actions and
| speeches contrary to the principles
and policy of the Kuomintang. g.
To send to the Soviet Union delega-
tion to be appointed by political COM
mittee of prominent members Of the
Kuomintang to discuss methods Of
cooperation.
Try to Deceive Masses.
| These measures are considered
highly deceptive and mere smoke
screen raised so that the fury of the
masses at the counter-revolutionary
acts of the Wuhan government will
not overwhelm them.
So strong is the respect for the
Communists and the admiration for
the determined anti-imperialist stand
of the Soviet Union that the reaction
aries dare not Immediately break with
all the traditions Of the past and go
openly over into the camp Of the
enemies Of the national liberation
movement.
The mass demand for action against
Marking is constantly rising higher
and threatens to engulf the Wuhan
reactionaries so they have to proceed
with the greatest caution in their
assaults upon the Communists.
