MANCHURIAN ISSUE
FAR FROM SETTLED
WiliamstoWn Institute Hears Of
This Problem

WtlllamstoWn, Mass, Aug. IA w.
The present controversy over Man.
churia between Japan and the Ma
tionalist government OF China event.
ually will mean a reopening of sino-
Japanese relations since 1896, G.
Bronson Rea, publisher of the Far
Eastern Review of Shanghai, told a
round table group at the Institute of
Politics today.
1.-THE Manchuriar problem is
simply this" Mr.. Rea said 1.-The 1925
treaties are invalid because they
were extracted and signed under
auress. The question was fully
threshed out at the Washington con-
ference, where Japan refused to ad-
NIT the Chinese contention and
China reserved to herself the right
to reopen the issue on all future APP
propriate occasions On the expira-
ton Of the original Laiotung lease in
1928, China officially notified Japan
to get out and early this year she
again protested against the proposed
Morgan loan to the South Manchuria
railway on the ground that the 1915
treaty was invalid. A very clear cut
issue therefore exists.
If the 1915 treaties are null ard
void, Japan's rights in Manchuria are
therefore determined by the terms of
the Portsmouth peace treaty. If
China's contention be conceded then
Japan, in order to safeguard her
rights, will be compelled to go be-
hind the Portsmouth treaty and re-
mind China of her secret alliance
with Russia in 1896 which provoked
the Russo-Japanese war.
Under the terms of this secret
treaty aimed at Japan, China handed
over her territory to Russia for the
construction of military railways
that would facilitate the transport
of the Russian armies to the men,
aced points on the Korean frontier.

SAFETY DEVICES
: FOR SUBS SOUGHT
Congress, at Next Session Will
1hrSh Out Question
By GEORGE II. MANNING


washington CORRESPONDENT. \. IS HeraId)
Washington, d. c., Aug. 13-The
problem of equipping American
submarines with adequate safety
devices will be threshed out finally
during the short session of con-
gress which conyenes in December.
This prediction was made here by
members OF the naval affairs COM
mlttees of the senate and house
whose interest in the problem has
been stirred by the feat of the
Italians in raising the FLA from
1S1 feet of water in "a hours
Il am thoroughly convinced that
The s-4 was sunk and 40 precious
lives lost through the gross neglect
md stupidity of those directing our
naval strategy Senator Edward l.
Edwards OF New Jersey, member of
the senate naval affairs committee
declared.
Il believe that the navy was lack
ing in progressiNeness in not having
the same means that the Italian
government has to quickly raise
submarines that go to the bottom.
1T is the duty OF the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs to take up
this subject at the coming session,
TO require every safeguard for the
men that go out in the submarines
and l believe that committee will
go into the whole subject at the
December session."
Predicts Action
Senator Robert B. Howell of Ne
braska, also a member of the SEN
ate naval affairs committee, was not
willing to make a comparison be-
tween the raising of the S-4 and the
FLA but predicted that congress
will do whatever is necessary to
provide for emergencies. The lazy
department and congress are keen
ay alive to the possibilities and dam
gers and some action should be
taken during the coming session,
he said.
Before leaving Washington for
Berlin to attend the Interparlia-
mentary conference, Representative
Fred A. Britten OF Illinois, Chair
man OF the House Naval Affairs
Committee. declared that Congress
should act promptly in seeing that
our submarines are adequately safe
guarded.

DRIVE TO DEFEND 662
MILL STRIKERS IS ON

From the central headquarters of
the International Labor Defense, a
letter has been issued ordering into
immediate, intense activity, all the
branches of that organization thru
out the country, in order to raise
funds to help defend the 662 New
Bedford textile strikers who are
facing Jail terms for their strike
activity.
The same letter has also been
sent to all the fraternal labor and
ftrade unions affiliated as a body
with the international Labor De-
kfense. Large sums of money are
needed by the defense body to see
the strikers, many of whom are sup
porters of families, thru their court
fight to freedom. Many of the
strike leaders are openly being
framed to long Jail terms, accord
ing to the frank statements Of the
Massachusetts, state officials.
The letter sent out, carrying the
appeal and instructions declares:
"To all locals and branches of In
ternational Labor Defense.
Dear Comrades:
eve have sent you under separate
cover a number of contribution lists
for our rush drive for funds for the

to US all, to you, is:
"Funds-quick! or 662 New Bed
ford textile strikers will go to Jail
for 112 years.
"Only if you help to solve this
critical situation by collecting
money everywhere for these cases,
only by jumping into this job with
both feet, will no blame rest on you
if these workers are not adequately
defended by us. Again we say:
81. Call a membership meeting
of the l. l.. D.
"2. Tell the members all about
the New Bedford cases.
"3. Place a contribution list into
the hands Of every member of the
l. L. D.
"a. Insist that money be collected

flee quick, as well. ~
Every cent collected upon these
lists must come forward to the ma

The International Labor Defense
has also issued similar statement
as has the All-America nti-Imper-
ialist League. Both statements de-
mand nationwide agitation for the
release of John Porter in spite Of
the terrorist action of the United
States government and its war de-
partment.
"The International Labor De-
tense has secured the release of
three of those arrested paul
Crouch, Karl Jones, and Karl
Reeve) so that they might meet
speaking engagements in various
cities, where protest meetings have
been arranged" Says the statement
which is signed by Karl Reeve, edi-
tor of the Labor Defender. "All the
other arrested participants will re-
fuse to be bailed and will refuse to
pay any fines that may be imposed,
as a means of further registering
their protest against the imprison-
ment of John Porter and against
the police persecution of the work
ing class"

The following statement was is
sued by Paul Crouch, secretary of
the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League. upon his release from pris-
on on bail:
"The arrest of those participat-
ing in effort to present petition to
secretary of war demanding release
of John Porter fully justifies the
participation of the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League in this
campaign. The actions of the police
confirm our statement that the
fight for Porter's release is a blow
at the preparations for a new i'm
perialist war.
"The All-America Anti-Imperial-
list League accepts the challenge of
the Washington police, and with the
aid of many organizations affiliated
with US will mobilize for a real
struggle against all the forces of
imperialism. We are not frightened
or inundated by the terror, and
more intensive efforts will be our
answer to the savage persecution of
those who struggle against the
growing danger Of an imperialist
war"

ARMISTICE day
IN LONDON WAR
MANEUvER PLAN
Baldwin Speech Tries
to Cover War Plans

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE ARMS
tice Day celebrations were carried
out as usual as preparation for
war, although the protests of the
masses at the militarist display is
ever greater, so much that it is an
nounced that this will be the last
year in which the anniversary will
be celebrated.
The leading pacifist and philistine
sentimentalist, George Bernard
Shaw, having received an invitation
from the British Legion to buy
tickets for a dance and an attached
copy of the religious ceremony to
be held in remembrance of "Vic-
tory Day." replies that if god
hasn't run out of lightning he
hopes they will be struck dead
when they go to church to con-
graduate one another on four years
of murder and devastation"
Disregarding such futile pacifist
protests, however, the king ordered
the usual military demonstrations,
and Premier Baldwin, speaking at
the Lord Mayors banquet plainly
indicated that Britain is preparing
for war.
While talking much of peace, and
welcoming Germany "as great ma
ton among equals" Baldwin,
speech carefully approached the
building of an European bloc
against the United States. He
pointed to the improved relations
between France and Britain and be-
tween France and Germany" as a
prophecy of peace, and endeavored
to deny that it was detrimental to
"any other world power, as alleged
during the recent disputes over the
Anglo-French naval accord"
To clinch the preparations for
war, Sir Samuel Hoare, the Air
Minister, added to Baldwin's re-
marks by stating that there was
improved cooperation of European
powers in the establishment of
"long-distance air routes," thus

or could be a strong bond between
them if certain artificial barriers
could be removed that prevent full
Ter, freer intercourse with each
other"
Stephen P. Duggan, director of
the Institute of International Edu-
cation, who presided at the meeting
held at the Hotel Aston, said that
plans are now under way to carry
cut an exchange of professors and
educators between the United States
and the Soviet Union.
Donald J. Cowling, president of
Carleton College, Mortified, Mimi,
toldethe audience of about 800 that
in a private conversation with him,
Secretary of State Frank B. Kel-
logg, had said that Americas failure
to recognize Russia was due to the
fact that there is no public senti-
ment in favor Of the move. No i'm
portance is attached to this obvious
piece of camouflage since it is well
known that an increasing large Sec
,tion of the working class, which has
everything to gain by recognition is
fully in favor of it.
