BIGGER NAVY TO
OFFSET RIVALS
F r an CO. British Pact
Alarms Coolidge

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Great
concern over the contents of the
Franco-British naval pact is being
felt here in naval circles, and the
conference between President Cool
idge and naval chiefs has resulted,
it is rumored here, in a decision to
enter on an extensive naval building
program in order to offset the pos
sible pooling of the British and
French navies in time of War.
The note sent to Washington by
Chamberlain last month, counter to
general belief, did not contain de-
tails of the naval agreement, and
when Kellogg is in Paris he is ex-
pected to demand all details concern
ing the pact. In the meanwhile
naval chiefs are planning increased
naval ornaments to protect Ameri-
can interests on the seas.
It is further reported that the
United States Commission that will
go to Geneva to the disarmament
conference will not participate unless
the secret pact is divulged

NANKING CHIEFS
ATTACK u. S. S.R,

PEKING, China, Aug. 20.-Two
Marking generals reaffirmed their
cnmity to the Soviet Union and
their intention of carrying on war
against Communists and militant
workers and peasants in a state
ment made public here.
Marshal Ii Tsung- jen, the Han
kow general, who is considered to
be one of the most promising" of
the war lords, declared that all the
Communist" nations of the
world should unite with the Nank-
ing government against the Soviet
Union. He also said that the Nank-
ing war lords had decided "that
rroletarian domination would not
do" and have accordingly proceeded
to crush all labor movements.
The other statement is issued by
General Feng.

America extremely important. All
the Latin American countries are
dependent either on Britain or
America, he said, and he indicated
how the former was being pushed
out by the United States. The Pan
American Federation of Labor, he
continued, is an instrument of
United States Imperialism and must
be fought.
The discussion then commenced
and was participated in by Heller,
Riulu and Carney, of Ireland; Ban
deras, of the Peasants Interna-
tional; Vorovsky, of China; Haidar,
of Palestine; Omura and Katayama,
of Japan; Darcy of the United
States; Roux, of South Africa; JAG
quemotte Of Belgium; Devisser, Of
Holland; Gomez, of the United
States; Bennett, of Britain; Zcha-
kaya, of Georgia, and Rothstein, Of
Britain.
Discuss Theses on Colonies.
Carney declared that the British
and American Communist Parties
must pay more attention to propa-
ganda among the Irish workers, in
this way supporting the work of the
Irish Communist Party. Darcy de-
clared that a start must be made in
building the mass organizations of
the colonial youth. He said that the
Chinese and Mexican experiences
showed this to be possible. He also
pointed out that the Mexican Young
Workers League is stronger numer-
ically than the Communist Party of
Mexico.
Indian Industrialization.
Bennett disagreed with the theses
that India was an agricultural
country dependent on the mother
land as this was an underestimation
of the working class and the national
revolutionary movement. Indus
trialization of India, he said, was
proceeding under British control.
Further, Britain is not returning to
the old nineteenth century policy,
and those who think so, he said, in
correctly estimate the role of the
native bourgeoisie, which is. already
collaborating with the imperialists
and is prepared to betray the ma
tional revolution because it knows
it will lead to an agrarian revolution
and the struggle of the workers for
power.
Rothstein declared that the an
alysis of the imperialist colonial
policy in the theses was incorrect.
The chief principle of the imperial
list colonial policy, be said, was not
to transform the colonies into cheap
sources for food and raw material
for the netherlands. Capital ex-
port, he declared, was not an iso-
lated and accidental factor, but the
fundamental factor in the imperial
list colonial policy. Further, the
main aim of the imperialists is
profit and this results willy-nilly in
the industrialization of the colonies.
The passage lin the theses that
analyses the character of the i'm
perialist colonial policy must be re-
written, he declared.

More serious amusement was also
provided for. Secluded corners held
large boards, illuminated by cleo
trio lights which exhibited large
map of the world. Around these
boards fiery discussions on the in
ternational situation took place the
whole day. The light would be
concentrated on that portion of the
map under discussion, and people,
urged on by advertisements on
large banners that told of the dis
cussions taking place, came from all
parts of the park to participate.

I'm promoting dual unions, the
Communists are openly seeking CO.
operation of open shop employers.
We welcome the changed attitude
because now we will know which
American employers are willing to
countenance Moscow controlled labor
organizations, financed by Soviet
Russia and formed for the specific
purpose of furthering the Moscow
scheme of world revolution and die
tatorship.

wages and working conditions.
Therefore the rank and file must
prepare its own program and submit
it to the convention for adoption. To
stop the present retreat and to pro
vide a program upon which the union
can progress, the following meas
ures are submitted to local lodges
in the I. A. of NJ. for their consid
Grafton:
l. Industrial Unionism a Crying
Need: Amalgamate the Unions.
The present craft form Of organi-
cation does not fit the needs of
modern, highly concentrated in
dustry With large establishments
constantly merging to form stronger
groups Of capital, we must have in
our industry one strong, powerful
union, capable of defending our in
terests. This must be brought about
through amalgamation Of all the
unions in our industry. Such ANAL
gamation must be brought about by
the rank and file of the various
unions. The campaign must be
carried into the local unions of the
OTTER organizations. At the Detroit
convention, the administration forces
defeated proposal to elect a
special committee to carry on this
campaign. Such a committee, of
those who believe in amalgamation,
should be elected by the coming
convention.
2. Organize the Large Machine
Shops. 100 Per Cent Organization
On the Railroads.
The most important task for our
union is to organize the railroad and
machine industry, especially the
large factories-the auto, agricul-
tural machinery and other sections
of the metal industry. Instead Of
organizing the auto industry, our
officials organize only garage
mechanics. Our officials have fol-
lowed a wrong policy of organiza-
ton; furthermore, they have not
shown themselves capable of organ
izing our industry. or even a willing
ness to do so. The rank and file of
our Association must take the initia-
tive in carrying on this important
task of organization.
Shop committees must be set up
in the unorganized shops. More at
tention must be paid to the special
lists, the semi-skilled, the women
and youth who are coming into the
trade. BY keeping out of our union
the Negroes who are coming into
our industry, we give the employer
the opportunity to use them against
US in our fight to maintain union
conditions; it is in our interest to
permit the Negro to join the union.
We are opposed to the Compulsory
Insurance proposal, as the increased
dues would hinder our organization
work.
8. Defeat the Class Collaboration
Schemes. Repudiate the B. & o.
Plan (the encouragement CO.
operation plan).
This plan has proved complete
failure wherever it has been tried
out. It has brought increased profits
for the employers, and no special
gains for our members working UNI
der. the plan either on some rail-
roads, or in the Speedaumatic Com
pany contract shop in Chicago. The
b. g. o. Plan must be repudiated by
our organization, as well as the
Watson Parker Law and its arbitra-
ton provisions.

The storm is said to be the worst
