AS CITY FALLS
Believe British Aim to
Retake Concession

ing troops is imminent. The French
concession has been barricaded and

riding in the river with their guns
trained on The city.
That the fighting in Hankow may
be used by the British as the occasion
for the recapture Of her Hankow con-
cession which she lost by the Chen
| 0'Malley agreement signed early this
year is regarded as likely.

BERLIN, Nov. 14.-Strikes in
Germany for the second quarter of
the year totalled 247 in comparison
with the 101 strikes for the same
period last year.
The growing unrest of German
workers against long hours, low

which was responsible for the
strike of $4,000 Ignite miners last
month, threatens to lead to strikes
in some of the major industries

gradual growth of the Socialist ele-
ments in the country.
In Lenin's article on the Import
ance of Cooperation in the Rural
Districts, we find splendid outline
of Socialist reconstruction of agri-
culture. "A system of civilized CO.
operators, coupled with public owner
ship Of the means of production and
the victory of the proletariat over the
bourgeoisie is Socialist order"
(Lenin, Vol. XVIII, part 2, p. 1922
Both of these main tasks of our
epoch (industrialization and coopera-
tion) demand continuous rise of
culture. We have already quoted
Lenin's words that Communism is
the Soviet Government plus electrifi-
cation" But Lenin adds, 1T must he
understood and remembered that we
can have no Identification as long as
we have illiteracy." (Vol. XVII, page
429.) "Should we attain complete
cooperation we should stand on So
cialist ground with both feet. But to
bring about full cooperation it re-
quires such cultural development of
the peasantry (and particularly the
peasantry as it constitutes an enor-
nous mass) which makes cooperation
impossible without a complete cul-
tural revolution" (Vol XVIII, part
2, page 145.)
The cultural revolution is becoming
the problem of the day. 1t is often
accomplished in a quiet form in the
growth Of anti-illiteracy stations,
clubs, schools, newspaper circulation,
the number of university graduates,
etc. etc But the cultural revolution
marches onward. 1t marches to vic
tory, spreading bright red light
over the entire Soviet territory.

ments.
In 1885 there were 1856 kind
ergartens and children's homes with
$4,000 children between the ages of 3
and 8. This as compared with the
preceding year was an increase Of
1880 in the numbers of institutions
and 20.4ft in the number of children.
Workers children predominant in the
kindergartens constituting 53.1fc of
all children. Kindergartens are COM
paratively not so widespread in the
rural districts although the need for
them there is not less than in the
towns. Children's Fairgrounds are
more primitive in nature, are more
widespread in the villages. In 1926,
there were over 5000 Of them.
Even at the present inadequate de-
velopment of institutions of children
of pla-school age, the working woman
feels much relieved. For the first

receives a real opportunity TO forget

S. S. LIE DE FRANCE, June 2S.--
Myron 4. Herrick, American Ambas-
sador to France, who is journeying
to the United States on, this new
French steamer for his annual holi-
day. has refused to discuss the memo
randum Of the Frech government
on a security pact with the United

stated that the negotiations up to the

CThe French memorandum, which
was handed to Mr.. Herrick before he

how negotiations may be opened for
pact to "outlaw war" between

Blythe Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 28.-Great Britain
today proposed at the technical COM
mittee of the tripartite naval cenfer-
ence that cruisers be divided into two
classes, one of 10000 tons, carrying
S-inch guns, and the other of 1900
tons. with 6inch guns.
Both the American and japanese
delegations requested time to examine
the proposal "in the light of the effect
it would have on the navies of each
power concerned during the life of the
treaty."
A communique issued at the close of
this mornings session said that the
meeting was devoted ''to preliminary
examination of proposals relating to
the cruiser class of vessels. The Brit
ish propose that this class be divided
into two clasSes-an S-inch cruiser Of
a maximum displacement of 10000
tons and 6-inch cruiser of a maxi
mum displacement of about $500
TONS"
After recording that the Japanese
and American delegates asked for time
to study the proposal, the communique
announced that the technicians would
meet again for a preliminary discus
sion on destroyers.
Progress Is Made.
"We made considerable progress,
some forward, some backward and
some sidewise," one of the American
delegates laughingly remarked as the
members left the meeting, which
lasted three hours. All of the dele
gates said that the discussion had
been full, free, frank and cordial.
Information from America sources
indicate that the American delegates
will abide tenaciously by their decision
not to reopen the Washington treaty
at Geneva despite Japan's possible sid.
ing with Great Britain on this ques-
ton.
1t is not unlikely that the Japanese
have been given clearly to understand
that any move to rediscuss the Wash
ington accord is extremely undesirable
and dangerous, as it would only fur
nish an opportunity to those seeking
1t to reconsider the whole problem of
the American position in the Pacific,
including the American strategical sit
uation.
Although some observers had ex-
pressed fears that the conference had
reached a critical stage, the Ameri-
can delegation was wholly undis-
mayed today.
Americans Not Disturbed.
The Americans equanimity was not
even disturbed by the Japanese revela-
tion of their inclination to support the
British view on the question of limita-
ton of. the size and armament of bat
tleships, consideration of which would
mean rediscussion of problems thought
to have been solved by the Washing
ton treaty Of 1922. Nor did the denial
by the japanese of an intention to
seek security pact with the United
States agitate the American delega-
ton.
The determination of the American
delegates to restrict the conference to
the scope outlined by President Cool
idge's invitation to the powers remain
ed unchanged, but their spokesman
was non. committal with regard to the
Japanese hint that the conference
might we'll he adjourned for certain
