POWERS fight
FOR POSITION
IN FAR EAST
Britain Is Hard Hit as
Japan Plays Rough
Especial to The Daily worker)


SHANGHAI, Jan. 1.-THE foreign
imperlsllsts are playing warily for
position In the new mosaic created by
the growth Of the Chinese nationalist
movement that now is preparing to
add Shanghai, chlns's richest port,
to It's other acquisitions.
The British policy has not yet been
definitely announced Altho there is
an Indication that British diplomacy
will continue to jockey its position by
relying upon the northern militarists
to stem the Kuomintang tide, the
fact still remains that more warships
are being regularly dispatched to
Chinese waters by that power.
Keen Rivalry.
The situation here is considerably
complicated by the conflicting inter-
ests of Great Britain and Japan, with
the United States also playing an
important, and so far, independent
role. There is only one point upon
which the powers seem to agree. That
is the retention of the concessions in
the treaty ports that the nationalist
movement has declared must be re-
turned to China.
It is in preparation for the occu-
patton of Shanghai, by the nationalist
army, that British, American and
French warships are gathering here
to support the armed foreign residents
of the concession.
Japan's Game.
Japan is playing a game calculated
to win over for itself many of the
rich plums slipping out Of British
hands. The Chinese situation repre-
sents real crisis for Great Britain
since her trade with this country, es-
pecially in cotton cloth and machin-
cry, has suffered greatly because OF
the growth of the anti-imperialist
movement. The boycott of Hongkong
by Canton still continues and the loss
of the Hankow possession represents
q bad blow for Britain.

House Hearing on China.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
foreign affairs committee prepared for
exhaustive hearings upon proposals
that the United States withdraw from
the concert of powers which domi-
mates foreign relations with the far
eastern republic.
Rep. Porter (R) Of Pennsylvania,
chairman and author Of the resolution
to be considered, announced that the
country's leading students of Chinese
affairs would be summoned before the
committee next week.
Against Alliance.
A continuance of the alliance with
European nations threatens to serious
Iy embarrass the United States and to
postpone justice for China, Porter as
serted.
The resolution requests President
Coolidge to negotiate treaties directly
with the republic of China.
equal Basis"
The treaties would be designed, the
resolution says, ITO the end that
henceforth the treaty relations be-
tween the two countries shall be up
on a wholly equal and reciprocal bas-
is and will be such as will in no way
offend the sovereign dignity Of either
of the parties"
Taking direct issue with the report
made by Silas H. Strawn, American
representative upon the international
commission sent to China to devise
means of carrying out declarations Of
the Washington arms conference, Por-
ter asserted that the present civil war
in China is 70 excuse for delay.
Two great complaints of the Chi
nese people, he pointed out, were that
foreign governments dominate Chi
nese tariff policies and exercise con-
troll over native citizens and proper
ty thru foreign courts.

Rumor That He Will

AUSTIN, Tex. Nov. 23.-tPt-Gov-
ernor Dan Moody says the public can
discount just exactly 100 per cent"
a report Tuesday that he had made
himself available as the dry running
mate OF Governor All Smith for the
democratic presidential nomination.
Governor Moody'S friends, refusing
use Of their names after being ques-
toned Tuesday, claimed to know that
he had answered favorahly to sup
posed inquiries Of Chesley w. Jurney,
secretary Of Senator Royal Copeland.
New York, supporter Of Governor
Smith for president. Jurney was here
several days ago.
Governor Moody said he had talked
to Jurney, but insisted that he had
not been "propositioned" and in a
statement last night remarked that
the democratic party is not in the
habit of nominating people from the
South and in my judgment, 10 Is
neither advisable nor likely that they
soon acquire such a habit"
He reiterated his stand for an un-
equivocal "dry" plank in the demo-
cratic platform, and held that the
party should oppose any attempt at
prohibition modification He further
declared that the republican party
never has given prohibition and its
enforcement a fair chance"
