union leaders, the failure of "Emper-

The first big fight of the conven-

understood to have plans to exclude
from the convention many of the best

important convention in the miners
history will be called on at the very
start to decide the issue between EN-

Can't Rely On Lewis
But left wing miners, with the les
son Of Lewis terrible record of the
past three years in their minds, know
that to entrust in his hands full au-
thority for the future of the union
means a continuation of the rapid de-
cline in membership and power.
Whether Lewis chooses a dicker with
the operators of the so-called central
competitive district, western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois or
chooses strike, they see danger so
long as he is at the helm.
Having lost West Virginia, the key
to the American coal industry, Lewis
has seriously impaired the strength of
the union, they assert. The only way
to stave off worse defeat is to give
power to the honest pro-union forces
in the miners organization.

ST. LOUIS SPEECH
ORDERS INVADERS
TOLEAVE CHINA
Sac Ke SEE, Minister to U. 5.
Talks Plain

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-In an address
with irony and humOr, and quiet
warning, SaO-Ke Alfred SEE, Chinese
Minister to the United States told
the Round Table Club here that
Western Imperialists would have to
get out of China, dead or alive.
THE Chinese people with practical
unanimity feel that they have been
unjustly treated and unfairly taken
advantage Of by other peoples From
their experience during the past
eighty-five years they find that the
extraterritorial regime impoverishes
the country, demoralizes the people
and weakens the hold Of the govern
ment on the nation. In other words,
they object to the unequal regime
whereby a small minority of foreign
ers in China arrogate to themselves
position superior to the native
Chinese, and under which they claim
political immunities and special COM
mercial and industrial advantages far
superior to those Of the native
Chinese. :. AS long as extrater-
ritoriality in China persists, impor-
tant and great reforms will be hind
cred and prevented from bearing
fruit.
'grhe powers have all said that
they recognize the present situation
as unfair and unjust to China and
some of them also said that they do
not wish to retain anything against
China's will. So far so good, but we
would like to see the fulfilment Of
these high-sounding declarations. So
far as the Chinese are concerned their
mind is made up that all the unequal
treaties must 60. The handwriting
as to this is on the wall. This may
not happen today or tomorrow, this
week or next week, this month OF
next month, but it is bound to come
soon.
So far as the powers are con-
cerned they have two courses TO take.
They may do nothing which is gen
orally described as the wait and see
policy. This attitude may be COM
pared 10 Nero Kidding Whlle Rome
burns. This policy means that con-
ditions win become worse and worse
until China denounces unilaterally
all the unequal treaties and then the
Powers win have to face an accom-.
plished fact. The other course for
. he Powers 70 do is to take the
initiative and declare forthwith their
readiness to end ali unequal treaties
and to negotiate new ones in their
place on a basis Of complete quality
and reciprocity. This course will give
to the Powers graciousness in the
granting Of the Chinese demands.
Under the first course their conces-
sion win have the appearance of
compelled action"

Vanderyelde Machine
COmpels Socialists To
Aid Belgian Ruler

BRUSSELS. Belgium.-The CHIEF
question at the special congress of
the Belgian Labor Party that met
towards the end Of last December
was the relation of the Socialists to
the government. The debate on this
mater was long and intense.
NJ. Vandervelde stated that the
stability of the franc must be looked
upon as the supreme consideration.
A government either of the Right
or of the Left would endanger anew
the stability of the franc and must
therefore be avoided. The only solu-
ton, he said, was for the Socialists
to maintain the coalition and stay
in the government, provided the gov
eminent could be prevailed upon &c
accept mild reformist program.
Vandervelde's view was supported
mainly by the trade union leaders
and by the Labor Minister. II. Wau-
tors, who maintained that "the Labor
interests could be better served dur
ing the coming crisis il the Social
list ministers remained in the gov
elrment."
The left wing position was es-
poused by the Deputies Matthew,
Brunfaut and Senator de Brouckere,
who maintained that the Socialist
Party, as we'll as the parliment, had
capitulated before the bankers, who
had become the real masters Of the
country.
De Brouckere stated that Social
ism in Belgium and elsewhere was
at the parting Of the ways-either
to continue the struggle for the
emancipation Of labor or else to ac-
commodate itself to the capitalist
system and the needs Of the ruling
classes.
Finally, the Resolutions Commit
tee proposed unanimously against
dc Brouckere) a resolution along the
lines Of Vandervelde's proposal au-
thorizing the General Council to con-
tinue in the Coalition Government.
Whatever left sentiment there was
at the convention was squashed un-
der the steam roller Of the Wander
velde machine.

DENY TALK OF
PAN-AMERICAN
LABOR BUREAU
kellogg Tries to Make
Initiation of League


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-(FP)-
Denial that any proposal has been
put forward for the creation of
Pan-American Labor Bureau, SINH
lar in function to the international
Labor Office of the League of Ma
tions at Geneva, is made at the Of
flee Of Director Rowe Of the Pan
American Union.
RED A. +. Of l..
Reports were recently current in
Washington that Secretary Kellogg
had proposed that the Latin Amer
lean republics agree with the United
States to establish such labor bu-
reau, which would tend to reduce the
attention given by the public to
statements made by the 'bolshevistic"
Pan-American Federation Of Labor.
1t was also asserted that Kellogg
proposed that Pan-American Court
be established, and that the United
States be given an unconditional
most-favored-na commercial trea-
ty with each Of the Latin American
countries.
It appears that these reports were
based on the fact that the governing
board Of the Pan-American Union, of
which the Secretary Of State is chair
man, has drafted a proposal that the
Union be put on a treaty or conven-
tion basis. 1t is now ON a basis OF
resolution and Of executive rather
than congressional consent in each
country.
Debate Treaty
The proposal that a treaty be en-
tered into, between all the member
nations, establishing the Union more
permanently, will be debated at the
next conference of the Union, to be
held at Havana in January, 1928. De-
bate on a similar issue. at the San
tiago conference of 1928, the last one
held, failed to lead to agreement. At
Santiago, also, the Pan-American
court idea was proposed by Costa
Rica. The conference voted to create
a Commission of Jurists which will
meet in Rio de Janeiro on April II,
1927, to consider the matter and re-
port TO the Havana conference of
next year.
Some of the Latin American re-
publics have already served notice
that no such court is needed. They
point to the quick death Of the Court
Of Central America when that trib-
unal decided that the Nicaraguan-
American treaty, proteaoed by Hon
duras and Salvador, was vivid. They
point also to the existence of world
court established by the League of
Nations.

one common array against the as
piring Chinese people.
In this crisis the smokescreen of
propaganda, that scots its way over
the pages of the bought press
tries to hide the main issue behind
the continued shrek of "the protec-
ton Of American lives.
At this writing the latest head
line screams, "'Death to all christ
ians' cry Chinese tnobs". This is
merely another version Of Coolidges
repeated barrage Of protect Amer
lean lives and property to hide the
real depredations of the American
dollar in Mexico and Nicaragua.
4
Too long the Chinese have re-
fused to perceive in the christian
missionary the advance agent of
American business. The profiteers
have taken full advantage of this
situation. On the bloody bayonet's
point of the Opium War, the Brit
ish carried white civilization, christ
ian civilization to the Chinese. The
United States joined in the process
sion Of plunderers, evidently believ-
ing that the Chinese would remain
helplessly drugged forever. Now
that the Chinese have not only dis
covered the fraud of white civili-
cation" but also the fraud of
christianity" in the pay Of the dol
lar, it is not to be expected that
they will be gentle in retaliation.
Yet it may be taken for granted
that the so-called ATROCITIES"
charged to the Chinese, the much
heralded Chinese mobs", the drag
ging of women thru the streets,
and other 'holrors" a re merS
myths coined by imaginative cor
respondents who know that the
home consumption of this kind Of
stuff is without limit.
The Chinese revoitionists know
that they have nothing to gain
by giving the white civilizers,
whose fayorite weapon is murder,
an opportunity to arouse anti
Chinese prejudice at home, and an
excuse for sending more warships
and more soldiers against their own
meager military resources.
In spite of the christian mask
worn by the imperiapsts, the Chin
csc make no war on christianity.
Theirs is a struggle of workers
against exploiters, a national revo-
d luton to shake off the clutches of
foreign imperialists. The textile
mills of Shanghai, where Chinese
labor was tortured ~ the long
workday, bitterly low wages and
unbearable conditions, helped create
the condition that is unifying the
Chinese working class as fighting
weapon for labor's emancipation.
y
Shanghai labor has accepted Len
ms leadership ca the third ami
versary Of our revolutionary lead
er's death. That BODIES i'll for the
oppressors. 1t is a sure indication
that Chinese labor as result in
common with world labor, will have
greater victories to record, more
progress to review on the occasion
Of the fourth anniversary Of Lenin's
death, one year hence.
