the British workers by smashing the
general strike in 1926, they are now
in cooperation with Macdonald, be-
traying the Chinese revolution. The
foreign policy Of the general council
is the logical outcome of its internal
policy. Since the general council dur
ing the miners struggle undertook
the role Of an overseas to Baldwin and
the mine-owners, forcing the miners
to accept lower wages, since they
proclaimed their policy of industrial
peace and class-collaboration, there is
nothing extraordinary in their going
a step further and supporting the
peaceful" Chinese policy of Bald
wins government. What after all is
the difference between Baldwin deal
ing with the Chinese revolution, and
the same Baldwin dealing with the
miners? Why should he be better
disposed to yellow coolies than to Bri-
fish workers? 1t is not at all sur
prising that the general council fol-
lowed MacDonalds lead and support
ed, together with that megalomaniac,
the sanctimoniously peaceful" Chin
csc policy of the Baldwin government.
A united front was formed, stretch
ing from Baldwin to Churchill, from
Churchill to Macdonald, Thomas and
George Hicks.
Joint Council Meets.
A meeting of the Joint National
Council, consisting of representatives
of the general council, the labor party
and the parliamentary fraction of the
labor party, was held on the 26th Of
January. The council discussed the
Chinese question and decided to send
a deputation to Chamberlain in order
to procure reliable information on the
situation in China and to inform him
of the point of view of the labor
movement. Needless to say this was
not the point of view of the labor
movement but that of Macdonald &
Co., which is well known to Chamber
lain.
It was expressed in the labor party

not sufficiently win the confidence of
the workers. So far our main OBJ
stacle in establishing shop bulletins
as regular institution has been the
lack of financial provisions. AS soon
as the workers have become well ac-
quainted with the contents of the bull
letins through few issues, definite
price should be charged for each

Printed bulletins are always prefer

so well received and have not made
the impression of authenticity upon
the workers. Distribution, where pos

manifesto Of the 9th Of January, and
consists in a mere re-hash Of Mac
Donald's theories" from his article
in the January number of "The So
cialist Review" This manifesto, as
is we'll known, gives Chamberlain a
friendly pat on the back, declaring
that the minister for foreign affairs
is trying to act in the spirit of the
Labor Party's resolution, passed at
the last congress in Margate!
They Regret"
The deputation visiting Chamberlin
was made up of Hicks, Citrine, Cramp
and Lansbury. The deputation then
reported to the Joint National Coun-
Gil, which passed resolution and de-
cided to transmit it to Eugene Chen,
the minister for foreign affairs of the
Chinese Nationalist government. This
resolution is to the effect that the
labor movement regrets" the flaunt-
ed military demonstration directed
against the Canton government. These
mean forgers of Iabor-opinion ire
gret"- regret-this demon
stration. This false document goes
on to pretend the policy pursued by
the Baldwin Government is that Of
negotiations and friendly agreements
and is in direct contradiction to the
military concentration of forces in
China.
1t must have needed pretty good
cheek to stick to such a statement at
a time when Chamberlain and all the
other ministers were falling over
themselves to declare that there was
complete agreement in their Cabinet
over the Chinese question. In its
letter to Chen, the Joint Council ex-
presses its conviction that the former
will do everything in his power to
come to an agreement by means Of
negotiations and to avert incidents
which might serve as an excuse for
military Intervention.
Model of Arrogance.
This document is a veritable model

the ruling-class by the petty bour-
geoisie leaders of the Labor Move
ment. Neither the general council,
the labor party nor the Joint National
Council uttered a single word of pro-
test to the British Government
against the dispatch Of armed troops
to China, and now the Joint National
Council has made up it's mind to try
and treat the Chinese revolltionaries
as it treated the British miners. Tho
leading clique Of the British labor
movement Is trying to force the Chi
nese rcvolutionarieS to accept Cham
berlain's terms, just "a formerly it
tried to force the miners to accept
the terms Of the miucOwncrs. Mac
Donald showed his hand clearly in his
Socialist Review" article, in which
he frankly took the side of the British
bourgeoisie. "The old conditions of
China have imposed certain obliga-
'tions upon us, and these obligations
must remain until by negotiations we
have relieved ourselves of them"
Macdonald, Imperialist.
Admirable phraseology. China
laid certain obligations on the British
bourgeoisie, obligations which Mac
Donald, who is fond of speaking in
the name of the British bourgeoisie,
considers binding on himself. Mac
Donald does not divulge what these
obligations were, but it is quite clear,
that he means the unequal agree
ments" and the concessions. Conse-
gently the British bourgeoisie is un-
der the obligation to plumber China
and Macdonald will not shrink from
this obligation, until it pleases the
bourgeoisie to release itself from this
obligationl

Bishop Brown Among the Heathens

more captivating than a conscious
sinner?
Here was the bishop talking with
half a dozen reasonably young per-
sons sitting with hands under jaws,
as people sit, listening.
"When the war broke out" he was
saying, Il thot that Germany should
get licked because there was licking
coming to the Kaiser, but l thot that
it was England's job"
However, several other people de-
cided otherwise and 1--WE" went to
war.
The sum total Of the conversation
as transmitted from the bishop to his
hearers is that the bishop had turned
over a new leaf and decided to be
good for the rest of his life. He re-
formed with a vengeance and is
raisin' more hell than any individual
since Tom Paine wrote the age of
Reason"
Bishop Brown likes the Soviet
Union, sometimes called Russia. He
realizes that the Soviet Union stands
for a new idea and he is willing to
ignore little things or at least brush
inconsequential things aside. Which
is the sensible thing to do.
And Bishop William Montgomery
Brown, who expounded the gospel to
multitudes is having the time of his
life undoing the wrongs he committed
in the past. He is rosy of visage and
reasonably stout of person with white
waving hair that would make him
feel at home in either bank or an
editorial room. He is as tough as a
seventy year old crocodile and as po-
lite as Boston poet. He is interest
ing and radical. Such a combination
is irresistible.

After the defeat of the coal-miners,
the hands Of the British government
were left free for a more active policy
in the East. Baldwin's government
attempted first to create a united
front with the imperialist powers for
intervention in China, but failing in
this it entered upon parleys with the
Nationalist government. 1t did it's
best to persuade the latter that Eng
land was sending cruisers, tanks, poi
son-gases, guns and aeroplanes with
out any hostile intentions, but sim
ply to make friends with the Canton
government. Stretching out a mailed
fist to Eugene Chen, minister for
foreign affairs to the Nationalist gov
eminent, the British government said:
"Let US forget the past and make
friends" We know the answers Of
the Canton government to these
peaceful" overtures. Eugene Chen
simply tore them up, refusing to come
to any sort of agreement until the
British military forces left China.
How Did Labor Act?
British Intervention broods over
China like a dark cloud. How did the
British labor movement react to the
threatened catastrophe?
The British Trade Union Congress
held in Scarborough in 1925 passed a
resolution by an overwhelming ma
jority (3,O82,O0O against 10000
against Imperialism, even admitting
the right to self-determination in
GLIDING the right of separation from
the empire. One would expect the
general council, the executive of the
congress, to call upon the whole of
the British working class to rise as
one man in defense of the new move
ment of liberation arising in China,
which is being threatened by British
imperialism. But much has occurred
since the Scarborough congress.
The General Council is being true
to its traditions. Having betrayed

What the Daily Worker
Means to the Workers
More Encouraging Contributions
to Our Emergency Fund.

Sam Posner, subsection &c, Fac

$4,000 to the DAILY WORKER, as
a loan, to be repaid by the unit men

similar scheme to secure contributions

The South Slav fraction in Steuben-

to the Daily Worker fund, saying:
We have a very small number Of
comrades here, but seeing that our
DAILY WORKER is in danger, we
have raised this money to help it in
its struggle. We wish the DAILY
WORKER to continue the fight

feet and listen to him expound the

ample recompense for several days of

Here they were in the Hotel AM

talking cold turkey about politics and
religion. It was something like the

Bishop William Montgomery Brown
has nothing in common with Jesus
except that he is extremely unpopular
with the leaders of the episcopal
church. So was Jesus, even tho the
meek and lowly Nazarene lived long
time ahead of King Edward the VIII
or whatever king became famous be-
cause of his ribaldries. Fellows like
Jesus have always been unpopular
while living.
Bishop Brown is lucky at that. He
is having more fun shocking respecta-
bility into its senses than a Hindoo
would have enticing a snake from a
cloudburst.

 That is the stand which the Council took last night when recent specific incident was brought to it's attention by Chief of Police George A. Getchell. City officers had refused to make an arrest for two Prohibition agents when the latter requested them to do so but could show no war rant and the police were unable to find any evidence of law viola tion.
 Facts Are Given
 comcilmen Freeburger and Will son. both members Of the Police Committee. said so far as they could learn the facts were these: Two Dry agents were raiding and had searched with properly is- sued search warrant a cigar store on Front Street last Thursday evening. They were still in the place. however, when several fishermen, who paused before the place and were about to be denied admission by the owner, were let in at the command of one of the Faiding squad who. as the men entered the room. immediately began a personal search of them. On one of them. he claimed to have felt a bottle. The men. ob- ieeting to being searched, made break for the door and the street One of them was struck in tho face with a slung shot. The dry agents followed them to the street but when they looked for the bottle it was gone. They claimed the possessor had thrown il away and broken t.
 Parrolman on Scene
 City Patrolman Fred Camper appeared on the scene about this time and was requested to Go some arresting. As no warrants were forthcoming and none of the mon were disorderly, he declined to do 90. He told the Dry squad however. if they would get war rant he would execute it. and. turning to the fisherman who. he said, had been hit in the face by the officer, he told him if he would make complaint againit his assailant and get warrant for him, he would also execute t.
