The raid was still under way at IL
p. m. tonight and it was the opinion
of those on the scene that it would
continue all night. Scotland Yard re-
fused to give out any information re-
garding the raid, the simple reply to
all questions being: Scotland Yard
has nothing for the press at present"
Come In Tads.
The raid started this afternoon
when plainclothes detectives suddenly
appeared on the scene in taxicabs.
Traffic in the financial district was
at its height when three officers
emerged from a passage running
alongside the building occupied by the
ARGOS, two taking up positions at one
door and the other at a second en-
trance.
As if by magic the appearance of
these three officers signalized the
arrival on the scene of dozens of
plainclothes and uniformed police,
who emerged in droves from the pas
sages, side lanes and by-ways for
which the financial district of London
is famed.
Guards All Exits.
The plainelothes men with num-
Der of uniformed police filed into the
building while others in uniform took
up stations at all entrances to the
building. At the main back door and
the main front door policemen stood
in a solid body. Great commotion and
excitement was noticeable within the
building as the windows were with
out shutters, but there was no dis
order.
Police officers inside the building
could be seen walking up and down
the rooms. Clerks and typists who
had been working by the windows in
full view of passers by were herded
into a corner Of one room. All the
men were then lined up in the cor
ridor of the building and it is believed
that all were searched thoroughly.
No doubt the clever British forgers,

Grave Crisis in Case of
Two Anarchists
Especial to the Daily WORKER


BOSTON, May 12.-Sacco and Van
zetti stand in peril of electrocution
July 10 for crime they never COM
mitted.
This warning is being emphasized
today by friends of the two Italian
workers who are alarmed by a grow
ing impression that they have practi-
cally been saved from the electric
chair.
While millions of workers and
groups of university men, intellectu-
ais, jurists and liberals have been
appealing in one voice to Governor
Fuller to save Sacco and Vanzetti,
while published reports have indi-
Gated that he is susceptible to order
ing a review of the frame-up, while
labor organizations generally are be-
ginning to feel that their efforts have
nearly succeeded in freeing the VIC
tins of Massachusetts justice, the
enemies of Saceo and Vanzetti have
been tirelessly, but quietly, at work.
Their work is not represented mere
ly by the ridiculous letters of the
professional patriots and super
heated defenders of law and order,
but by diligent and unhearalded eff
forts to amass a new mountain of
perjury against the two men in Ded-
ham Jail.

Because of the intricate and intimate relationship between

socialists have for long time desired to make state monopoly
it, They realize that if they accomplish this they have
taken the longest forward step toward the specialization of all

League in recognition of his services
to the cause of national defense, ac-
cording to General Robert Lee Bull
lard of that organization. Rogers
has said unlzind things about Wash

CECRETARY Of State Kellogg
Odenied the report that he would be
a delegate to the Arms Limitation
conference which is scheduled to meet
in Geneva on June 20. The state de-
partment is said TO be looking for
some other person of national pres
tige to head the delegation. In view
of Kellogg's record for indulging in
the luxury of prevarication perhaps
even the seasoned capitalist liars that
will gather in Geneva feel that they
would be suffering from too heavy
handicap in having to cope with Kel-
logg.

THE capitalist papers critical Of the
policy of force in China are not
concerned in the least over the
slaughter Of Chinese labor leaders
and Communists by the warlords of
the north, and the renegade Chang

ent gesture of a change of policy was
attributed to the alleged discrediting
Of the radical wing of the Kuomin-

FROM information received by The
1 DAILY WORKER from China the
workers are being organized into
trade unions with amazing rapidity.
There are now more than three mil
lions of peasants organized into a
peasants union. Since the popula-
ton of China is overwhelmingly peas
ant and working class it is only a
question Of time until the down-trod-
den victims of foreign Imperialism
and native militarism will develop a
strength sufficient to enable them to
deal with their oppressors.
ONCE the right wing elements in
y the Koumintang Party of China
have gone over to the imperialists
and are no longer of any service to
the nationalist revolutionary move
meRt, they must be driven out of the
party. This is the attitude of the
Communist International. This does
not mean that the Koumintarg Party,
from now on must be exclusively
composed Of workers and peasants.
The antI-imperialist sections of the
middle classes have still a role to
play in the unification and emanci-
patton of China and as long as they
Nrer.ain true to the principles upon
which the Koumintang was founded
they have place in the ranks.
HENRY l.. STIMSoN, President
ii Coolidge's walking delegate to Mic
aragua may have spoken too soon
when he announced that he had sue
ceeded in making peace in the Latin
American republic. II now appears
that the liberals have not accepted
MS proposition and more marines are
ON the way to guarantee "order"
which means to guarantee that the
reactionary tool Of Wall Street, Diaz,
will be able to maintain his seat.

THE capitalist critics believed
that it was best for the interests
of American capitalism to adopt a
friendly attitude towards the nation
alist movement in China and let Eng
land pull her own chestnuts out of
the fire. But they looked askance
at the growing power of the Commu-
nists and felt relieved when Chang
Kai-Shek betrayed the cause. In all
probability if the right wing of the
Koumintang had not deserted to the
enemy and if the workers and peas
ants of China had assumed the lead
ership and secured the hegemony of
the revolution our liberal capitalist
friends of New China would bare
their fangs with the more reaction
airy pack.
