| most active in their endeavor to force
a world revolution by direct action.
In view of the fact that a number
of Senators and other influential Amer
leans are now advocating recognition
of the Soviet regime because it has
proved to me a de facto government
and because the. State Department is
firmly decided to continue the policy
of having no relations with the Soviet
government, the President and other
responsible members of the cabinet are
examining carefully all the data con-
ceIning the Soviet activities in the last
few years, especially since the idea of
violent action in well organized coun-
tries had been abandoned by the leaders
OF the Third Internationale.
Retain Same Intentions.
1t Is fact that since the Soviet Re-
public has been recognized by the most
important countries in Europe the rulers
of Russia have pledged themselves not
to indulge in Communist propaganda.
They have off1cially kept that pledge.
But the policy of overthrowing the
capitalistic regime in Western Europe
and America certainly has not been
abandoned by the heads of the Soviet
Republic.
careful survey of Bolshevist activi-
ties shows that the rulers of Russia
have adopted policy of weakening
capitalistic states economically in the
hope that economic depression would
cause unemployment which would
eventually cause social unrest sleading
to revolution in the most conservative
countries
The fruitful results of such q policy
were proved In China The SovietS
through their agents, have materially
helped the Chinese civil war. The lead
ers of the third internationale were
fully aware that communism could not
be established in that huge territory.
but dividing China into warning fac
tons would hit the United States
Japan and especially Great Britain.
Results Of Chinese War.
The results of the Chinese civil war
have been more than satisfactory, de-
spite the fact that the Chinese generals
have expelled all the Bolshevist agents.
British economic losses In China were
extremely serious and many factories
In Lancashire were compelled to close
down. Since 1927 British trade with
China has decreased considerably and
good many workers have been added

on Complaints. -
The complaint against Bishop James
Cannon, jr., makes an investigation
mandatory. Last May Bishop Cannon's
stock market dealings and political ae-
tivities were investigated at the Meth
odiSt Conference at Dallas. The bishop
was exonerated and reelected chair
man of the Board of Temperance and
Social Service.
Should the committee of H., which
church rules require Bishop AinsWorth
to call for the purpose of investigating
the new charges, decide, Bishop Cam
non must stand trial, he would be sus-
pended until the 1884 conference, when
the trial would be held.
The Baltimore Sun said yesterday the
new charges comprise complaints against
Bishop Cannon's personal conduct.
complaints based on his participation
in buying and selling stocks for specu-
lative purposes and complaints based on
the bishops political activities and his
participation in the handling of money
for political campaign purposes.
Although Bishop Cannon was before
the Dallas Conference for Investigation
last May on two counts, based on stock
speculation evidence and political ACTIVE
ties, in neither of these inquiries was
any qucStlon raised concerning the
churchman's morals In the new COM

was on the high seas. 1t had been be-
lie7ed generally here that he was some
where in the interior of Brazil on 4
trip of study and exploration. He was
reported at Sac Paulo just last week
to have left for the interior with an
indefinite destination.

Brazil August 10, the bishop. whose
political and speculative activities have
subjected him to considerable criticism
IN his own country, said he would re-
main in this nation until late in Oc-
tober. in connection with church organ
ization work, returning to the United
States about the middle of November.
