REDS VOTE TO PUSH
REVOLT IN CHINA
Third Internationale Will Appeal
to Workers of World to
Sabotage Nations.
By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, May 31-Decision to
make a more intensive campaign in
support of the Chinese revolution and
to appeal to the workers of the world
to assist Soviet Russia to sabotage
other nations in the coming "inevit-
able" war was reached today by the
executive committee of the Third In.
ternationale.
At a full conference of the Third In.
ternationale a resolution was adopted
declaring that the defeat of the Com
munists in Shanghai, Nanking and
Canton by the so-called Moderate Ma
tionalists was partly a defeat for the
Chinese revolution. Gen. Chang
Kai-Shek, leader Of the Moderates,
could be easily overcome, however, if
not supported by the Imperialists, the
resolution said.
Leon TrotZky, whose power in the
councils Of Soviet Russia has waned
steadily, has again been censured by
the third international for renewed
criticism Of it's present leaders.
Trotzky at a conference of the exc
cutive committee criticized the Com.
munist party policy in China and de.
clared that the left wing of the Ku.
omintang Nationalist political party
should be oierthrown and Soviet
should be organized. In the opinion
of the international this step would
have caused only further disorders
| in China.

BY Cable to The Star and New York Times.
LONDON. May 30.-By the end of
this week l expect to be on my way
to the United States.
1t has now been decided that my
European trip shall be cut shorter
than it might have been. I admit
that, on one hand, have hankering
to see more of Ellrope-it is the first
time l have ever been over here-but.
on the other hand, there are other
things to be considered and I agree
with my friends that the thing for me
to do now rs to go back home and
make my report on my trip. And
there is no element of conceit in my
saving | feel | owe a report to the
whole American people for the Won
derful approval Europe has given to
successful American aviation effort.
When ! left New York / had no
plans at all except to get to Paris.
That was so all important that 1 made
up my mind not to think of anything
else. Then, once safely in Paris, /
thought 1 would see some of the sights
of Europe of which 1 had heard all
my life.
Furthermore, aviation is my great
interest in life and I thought I would
visit several capitals to be able to see

what Europe had developed recently
in aeronautics. ! was told at the time
that this program might cost me a
good deal of the money l might make,
but my trip wasn't undertaken as a
money-making proposition and I still
regard what l may get out of it finan-
cially as entirely secondary.
So in Paris I considered visiting a
number of European capitals, but per-
haps did not realize how many there
were, for it becomes apparent to me
here in London that I cannot do them
all. There have been promising re.
ceptions prepared for me back home
and in the past - hours I have seen
that it is the best thing for me to be
moving back toward the United States.
Proud of Great Welcome.
Frankly, l did not realize at first
what interest my flight would arouse.
But now it has apparently come to be
regarded as sort of international
affair and certainly it makes me proud
to feel that the great welcome given
me and the praise heaped on me was
directed toward my country. Look.

view, / understand that my personal

MAY SEIZE SHIPS
BEYOND Z MILES
Coast Guard Authority Up
held by Supreme Court in
Underwater Case.
By the Associated Press.

Ds %1oSUtfdteu IItsS.
Seizure of American vessels by the
Coast Guard on the high seas beyond
the 12-mile limit was declared legal
today by the Supreme Court.
The decision was in the case of
the steamer Underwater, taken by
the Coast Guard "a miles off Block
Island.
Urged Wide Powers.
To more effectively enforce national
prohibition, the United States urged
the Supreme Court in the Underwater
case to declare in unqualified terms
that the Coast Guard was authorized
to seize American vessels anywhere
upon the high seas and bring them
into port on charges of violating
Federal laws. and could at all times,
in ALI places, beard them in search of
evidence especially OF the violation of
the prohibition laws.
Aboard the Underwater, when she
was seized 81 miles off Block Island,
the Coast Guard found S11 cases of
whisky. and the vessel was taken into
New London, Conn. where it was
turned over to the collector of GUS
toms. When the United States
sought by libel proceedings to for
felt the vessel Arthur Maui. the own
er. challenged the jurisdiction of the
Federal District Court for Connecti-
cut. taking the position that the seiz-
ure had been made outside the juris-
diction of the court. which was as
serted to extend only to the terri
torial limits of the United States
three miles at sea. Maui also con-
tended that under authority of Con-
gress the Coast Guard was restricted
to search and seizure within II miles
off shore, and that the seizure was
therefore unlawful.
Decision Is Reversed.
The trial court decided against the
Government, but the Circuit Court OF
Appeals reversed the decision. and
held broadly that the Coast Guard
could seize American vessels any
where.
Assistant Attorney General Willie
brandt, in arguing the case i'll the
Supreme Court, urged the cOnstruc-
ton given by the Circuit Court. She
described the Coast Guard as the
marine police of the United States,
and asserted that under recent prohi-
bition decisions of the Supreme Court,
the Federal District Court. which had
jurisdiction over the port to which an
American vessel was taken. had juris-
diction to try the case although the
seizure had been made outside it's
district.
License Held Violated.
The underwater had been licensed
to sail in the cOastwise trade and the
Government declared the seizure
would have been justified also under
the navigation laws, because when
taken the vessel had violated it's coast.
wise license. 1t sought to have this
phase of the case ignored, however,
and asked broad decision which
would be a precedent for disposing Of
number of seizures of rum-running
American vessels, captured outside the
12-mile limit.
