Lloyd George Crowd
Sounds Labor on
Views and Methods

LONDON. - Symptomatic Of t h e
new tendencies of disintegration in
the English Liberal party, is the
"questiOnaire" recently sent out by
Lloyd Georges committee of Indus
trial Inquiry. This elaborate quest
ionaire arranged under nine main
heads tries to probe the views of the
trade unions on the aims and meth
ods of the labor movement as well as
its attitude on the laws affecting it.
This QUESTIONABLE represents the at
tempt of the Lloyd George Liberal
faction to find some sort of social bas-
is in certain sections of English Ia
Dor on the platform of extreme class
collaboration. This is in line with the
repeated rumors and even more sub
stantial indications of some sort OF
approach between the Lloyd George
liberals and the right wingers in the
Labor Party. Lloyd George is, OF
course. known to the masses of Eng
lish workers for what he is and any
such move would arouse the bitter
est resentment and opposition against
the right wingers.

Comes at opportune Time.

"As far as America is concerned
the congress on world Imperialism
comes at an opportune time" states
the All-America Anti-I m p per a | st
league, which is the organizing body
In America for the congress. "The
congress is symbolic that at the same
time that American Imperialism is ex-
panding, the forces which are destined
to overthrow it are gathering.
"The movement for Latin-America
unity is accelerated" says Manuel Go
mez, secretary of the league, "by the
arrogant attitude Of the United States
toward Mexico, by the Thompson re-
port on the Philippines, and the send
ing OF warships to China. The move.
ment against American imperialism
Is growing, and has reached the point
where the All-Amerlca Anti-Imperial'
list league is striking real blows at
the citadel OF American Imperialism.
Oppressed peoples of the Ameri
can continents will be represented al
the Brussels conference and will be
proud to stand shoulder to shoulder
with the oppressed of other parts OF
the world in the common struggle"

German Communists
Pledge Support to
Chinese Revolution

MOSCOW, Jan. 16.-(Tass.l - The
German Communist Party has ad-
dressed the following message to the
executive of the Kuomintang and to
the commanders of the Cantonese
armies:
"We greet your victory over Wu
Pei Flu and Sun Chuang Fang, the
servants Of imperialism, and we con-
gratulate you upon the removal OF
your government to Central China.
We hope that the workers and peas
ants of China will soon win their full
freedom like the toilers of the Sow
let Union and that your soldiers will
be as well trained as the Red Army.
We hope that Canton, as the reyolu.
tionary stronghold, will be well pro-
tected against the onslaught OF its
enemies. We promise to exert all
our efforts to prevent intervention OF
the imperialists and the participation
of the German capitalists. We shall
demand that the German government
recognize the Canton government as
the only real government of China"

territory, OF making a beginning to-
ward unifying the finances Of the ter
ritory and tying them up directly with
the government treasury, of educat-
ing a mass of officials in new and
modern methods Of administration, of
pouring the revolutionary dogma into
the general population for the purpose
of intensifying its already-manifest
nationalist sense"-all this required
that the base of operations be much
closer to the center of the new ter
ritory. The requirements Wuchang
fills, geographically.
Mission at Work.
The government mission, now in
the Yangtze, comprising the finance
minister, foreign minister, communi-
cation minister and justice minister,
with large clerical and secretarial
personnel, will take the first steps
OF settling in the new capital. So soon
as the first group Of bureau chiefs and
department heads, with their assist
ants, arrive there, the preliminary
steps in establishing the seat of the
nationalist government in Wuchang
will have been accomplished. There
will remain the question of the re-
moval Of that personnel still remain
ing here to close up affairs here which
had to be carried on during the in
terim period.
The Tientsin Arrests,
The arrest by the British authorities
/ in the British concession at Tientsin
on Nov. % of certain Chinese resi-
dents who are Kuomintang members,
and their delivery into the hands OF
the Mukden military authorities,
caused great indignation thruout the
country. The nationalist government
ON Dec. 2 telegraphed a strong pro
test direct to the British foreign Of
flee.
See British Opposition.
The protest took the line that the
arrest of these men, at the request Of
THE MuRden mihtarists, indicated
clearly that the British authorities in
China had become the active ad'
versaries of the nationalist govern
ment and the nationalist movement
since they had conformed with the ro
quest of the principal Chinese adj
versary of Chinese nationalism by
turning over into his hands Chinese
citizens who were associated with the
party of nationalism. The fact that the
delivery of the arrested men had been
directly authorized by the British lega
ton at Peking was taken as prool
that this represented deliberate Brit
ish policy, and was not merely the ac
tion OF police chief or even consul
general in the Tientstn British con
cession.

Cantonese Move Their Capital Farther North

I ly exhausted. physically and mentally,
by the strain of attempting to keep a
government" together in the face of
the utter chaos OF the military fac
tions In the northern regions.
Rumor British Aid.
Rumors come unconfirmed - that
British banking institutions have
agred to give--it could in no sense be
considered loan. since there can be
no security offered-five million
pounds sterling to the northern milf
tarists on guarantees that the money
will be used to finance a military cam
paign against the nationalist armies.
Specific details about this loan have
been given out from Chinese sources,
but there is no verification available.
Honekong and Cooperation.
Recent piracy outrages in south
China waters have led to a new dis
cussion Of bandit suppression in
Kwangtung. The provincial authori-
ties are now successfully undertaking
campaigns against bandit bands in
various parts of the province. But
their work has not satisfied Hong
kong, where an agitation has been
started for an expedition against
Biass Bay, on the Kwangtung coast,
believed to be the headquarters of a
powerful pirate organization. Cooper
alton between British naval forces
and Kwangtung forces has been sug-
gested.
Cooperate With Chiung-min.
Lacking such cooperation, 1t is au.
l thoritatively stated that the Hong,
kong government may consider "co-
operation" with certain subordinates
of the notorious Chen Chiung-min, an
avowed enemy of the nationalist gov
ernment who has often made Hong
kong his headquarters. It is made
plain, in authoritative circles, that the
Hongkong government has actually
seriously listened to proposals fol
such Cooperation" from trusted lieu
tenants of Chen Chiung-min.
Such a cooperation" expedition
would, of course, be looked upon in
nationalist circles as a form Of for
eign intervention, with the assistance
of open enemies OF the nationalist gov
ernment. The repercussion in Chinese
popular opinion would be inevitable
and clear. The effect upon Sino-Brit
| ish relations doubtless would be ex
tremely bad.
A plan Of this kind, following close
ly after such affairs as the Wanhsfen
bombardment and the recent arrests
of Kuomintang members residing in
the Tientsin British concession, would
inevitably convince Chinese opinion
that British policy in China was more
and more clearly becoming a frank
Ipolicy of anti-nationalism.
