petition is not too keen, but charity
begins at home. Hence l am calling
the attention of the multitudes to the
/. L. D. bazaar, which will be held
in New York on March 10, II, IL and
49,, tho Chicago is also bowling for
publicity. The International Labor
Defense is worthy of the support OF
all class conscious workers. There
are only three weeks left to push the
sale of tickets and help make the af-
fair a success. Money is needed to
defend victims of capitalist courts
and conduct campaigns to halt the
bloody hands of the fascist Cypress
ors in Poland, Lithuania, Italy and
other countries.
-Four days for New York; three for
Chicago. That's about fair since we
have subway and other convenien-
ces here that do not exist in the
windy city, tho as far as gas is con-
cerned we have our share of it. This
is another way Of saying that the
Chicago bazaar (it's called carnival
out there) will last three days. But
the men and women from the mid
west live fast and furiously and stay
up late. So they expect TO accom-
plish as much in three days as we of
the effete east will in four. From
what we have learned about the pre-
parations for the Chicago bazaar
from personal correspondence we can
sincerely urge all those who read
these lines to patronize the affair,

be giving serious consideration to
formulation OF u policy for repara-
ton for the reported outrages at
Marking and FOR the eXaction of
guarantees for the safety OF Amcri-
cans elsewhere In China.
The state department today. how
ever, maintained complete reticence
on the subject and officials in other
departments familiar with recent de
velopments in China declined to
throw any light on what might be
going on.
Press dispatches from London. on
the other hand. intimated that ex-
changes were in progress between
capitals of various powers involved
in the Chinese situation. while con-
ferences at the White House and
state department late yesterday ap-
peared to give foundation to the be-
lief that the drafting Of an Amori-
can policy is occupying the minds
OF officials.
While there Is no indication that
decision has been made, the pro-
longed conference between Secretary
Kellogg with Nelson Johnson. head
OF the departments far eastern di-
vision. presumably was for the dis
cussion of recommendation that
have come from Minister MacMur-
ray at Picking and Admiral Williams
American naval commander in
Chinese waters.
Sec. Wilbur's Visit.
Secretary Wlbur's visit TO the
White House likewise indicated that
steps to fix conclusively the respon-
sibli.y for the Marking attacks had
been discussed with the president.
The only inttmation obtainable for
his prolonged conference was that
naval officers have been directed to
make their Investigations of the "e-
sponsibility SO complete as to defy
challenge.
Dispatches from London said 1t
was known that Great Britain was
contemplating making certain de-
mands on the Cantonese authorities,
but that it had not been settled
whether this would be done in con-
junction with other powers or not.
In view OF the refusal OF Washing
ton officials to discuss Che subject in
any way, this could not be cleared
up here.
The statement that soldiers In ma
tionalist uniforms committed out
RACES at Marking. however. has been
emphasized in every dispatch for
warded to the capital from Ameri-
can representatives in China and re-
ports from Shanghai have indicated
this has been sworn to by Ameri-
cans and other foreigners in the
city at the time.
Because of this there appears no
doubt that the Washington govern
ment is satisfied on the point, but in
order to back up its prospective de-
mands upon the Cantonese authors
ties has desired to supplement its
information to the fullest degree,
and this Is believed to have prompt
cd Secretary Wilbur'S conference
with the president.
