SHANGHAI, China, March "a
The Marking government, headed
by Chang Kai-shek, has asked the
British and American governments
to lift the arms embargo on China
for the purpose of obtaining arms
to fight the Wuhan warlords, it was
admitted yesterday by Foreign Min
lister C. T. Wang.
Wang denied that fighting had
broken out between the Wuhan and
Marking warlords on the Hupeh-
Anhwei border, although over 200
wounded Chinese soldiers have
passed over the railway from that
direction.
The war between the Kwangsi and
Nanking cliques has become an of
ficially accepted fact with the adop-
tion by the Kuomintang party con-
gress of a resolution granting Nank-
ing the power "to do what it sees
fit if the Hankow generals con-
tinue to disregard Markings or
ders," in spite of the statements by
the "Left wing" clique that this
was paramount to declaration of
war.
The Hankow generals are asking
Wuhan merchants and banks for a
loan of S2,500,000 for war purposes
and they have control of the Han
yang arsenal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a.
A further development in the ship

and United States and in the accent
uation of the enmity already existing
between the capitalists of both coun-
tries occurred with the official in
curry of the British ambassador,
Sir Esme Howard, into the sinking
of the British Vvessel, Lmalone, sup
rosedly rum runner, in the Gulf of
Mexico, Friday by U. S. coast guard
cuttes.
Howard declared that the Incl

Of aliens, allegedly being smuggled
into the country, had gone down
with the British vessel and are be-
lieved to have perished. District At
torney Edmund E. Talbot of New
Orleans said that he was certain
aliens had gone down with the ship.
1t developed yesterday that Ad-
miral Billiard, head of the coast
guard, had received specific instrucA
tons from the government to use
all means at his disposal to capture
the ship. Orders were: Capture or
sink her." The coast guard cutters
Walcott and Dexter started pursuit
within the 12-mile limit but sunk the
vessel outside the limit.
The crew Of the Imalone were
taken from the life boats held in
chains aboard the Dexter and
brought to New Orleans.
The incident is a part of the
frenzied rivalry between United
States and British shipping along
the American coast, and the compe-
tition between tthe two for the high
ly valuable liquor trade.

TRADE UNION LEAGUE CALI BIG NA TI0NAL CONGRESS:
AIM new TRADE UNION CENTER FOR CLASS STRUGGLE
Sou Chou Jen,
Chinese Class
Leader, Dead

(WiyelesS to the Daily WoYker)
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., March "a.
The death of Sou Chow-jen,
Chinese revolutionist and head of
the Chinese trade unions, has been
reported here from sources in China.
Death was from appendicitis, ag-
gravated by the exceptionally heavy
underground work which Sou Chow
jen had been compelled to carry on
for the last year.
Sou Chow-jen, himself worker,
was the outstanding leader of the
Chinese working class and his death
is an almost irreparable loss to the
workers not only Of China, but of
the whole world.
A sailor for twenty years, Sou,
who had had little or no schooling
of the usual sort, educated himself
from the daily struggles of the in
ternational working class.
In 1922 the union of seamen which
Sou had organized undertook its
giant strike in Hongkong.
After the massacre in Shanghai
in 1925, Sou Chow-jen joined the
Communist Party of China.
He was one of the most persistent
enemies of British imperialism in
the Far East. The strike, which he
organized in Hongkong, lasted two
years and profoundly shook the
power of the British in Asia.
In 1927 Sou was head of the COM
missariat for labor in the Wuhan
government and, after the betrayal
by the Kuomintang, he led the work
er and peasant uprisings that re-
peatedly swept various sections of
China.
When the first Soviet government
was established in China with the
Canton Commune in 1927, Sou
Chow-jen was elected chairman of
the Council of Peoples Commissars.
The Sixth World Congress of the
Communist International elected Sou
Chow-jen to the Executive Commit
tee. The Fourth Congress of the
Red International of Labor Unions
elected him to the Political Bureau.
Sou Chow-jen was also men,
Der of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union
Secretariat.
Sous book on the Hongkong
strike of 1922 is still the authority
on that struggle.

that belief in the principles of Com
munism prevents one from being an
American citizen.
Despite the fact that Tapolczyani
is not member of the Communist
Party, the government is utilizing
the letter to cancel his citizenship
and establish precedent for whole
sale deportation of militant foreign
born radical workers, and to hold
the threat of Imprisonment and
death over all workers from coun-
tries with fascist relationships. N

MEXICO CITY, March "a (UP).
The rebel forces which have been
attacking Mazatlan, the important
west coast city, have abandoned
their position on the outskirts of
the city and have concentrated on a
highway some miles distant, the
Presidencia was informed this aft
ernoon.
One small group of rebels has

advised the government.
The fighting-most spirited since
the outbreak of the rebellion-end-

advised, and only a few desultory
shots were fired this morning.
Casualties of the engagement, which
carried IN for upwards of twelve
hours, are unknown.
Cavalry, infantry, machine gun,
airplanes and one battleship were
used in the defense and attack on
Mazatlan. General Carrillo said he
would advise the federal casualties
later but said there was no way of
telling what the rebel casualties had
been as the rebels removed their
dead and injured before abandoning
their positions.
There were reports of heavy
fighting last night on the road from
Barron to Isla De Piedra. The lat
ter city is held by the rebels but
the Presidencia was not advised as
to who the fighting forces had been.
