us. IN DRIVE TO
PUSH ARMS PLAN
Imperialist Intrigues
At Lausanne Brought
to Light

LAUSANNE, June 2t.-Secret dip
lemaey is supplying the irnperialist
delegates to the Lausanne Confer
enee with plenty of intrigues to cover
up. A secret meeting was held in
an old tavern near here, on the read
to Geneva, between Premier Harriet,
Ambassador Gibson and Norman
Davis.
-3n spite of the utmost secrecy, 1t
became known that the two American
representatives sought this meeting
to impress Herriot with the determi-
nation of the United States to force
action" on its arms proposal by US
ing the issue of war obligations as q
lever.
U. S. On The Offensive
The meeting was suggested by
President Hoover in telephone
conversation with Ambassador Glib
son. The inperialist intriguers put
their cards on the table at this meet
ing.
The u. S. delegates seemed to have
had the upper hand. According to
the reports, Paul Bonceur agreed to
withdraw the French proposal for an
International army and navy under
the League of Nations for the time
being. He took position which is
considered nearer to the U. S. posi-
ton. This is that limitation of
effective forces should be agreed up
on. The U. S. representatives are
said to have expressed their ap-
proval of the internationalization of
aviation
Anti-U. S. Coalition Shaking
The European coalition which Mac
Donald was striving to set up at the
Lausanne Conference is being rent
by inside antagonisms. These is ex-
pressed by the different attitudes of
Herriot and Macdonald on the ques-
ton of cancellation of PREPARATIONS
and war debts. Macdonald is of the
opinion that reparations and inter-
European war debts should be cam
cellsd; Herriet instead thinks that
the moratorium should be extended
but the question of cancellation
should be postponed.
This is the result of the indirect
pressure of the United States to break
up any European coalition hostile to
the U. S. imperialist ambitions. In
the meantime, the Lausanne Confer
enee decided not to have any plen-
airy session until something to meet
about is agreed upon Secret con-
versations between the delegates to
the conference are the avenues thru
which this something" is being
sought.
New Tariff Unien Rises
In between the various converse
tons, tariff union was organized
here by the representatives of three
smaller nations - Holland, Belgium,
and Luxembourg. A convention was
signed at Auchy. near Lausanne, by
the representatives of these three ma
tions, calling for a reciprocal and
progressive reduction of tariffs.
The Union is said to be gaining
supporters among other delegates to
the Lausanne Conference. Evident
ly through the reduction Of tariffs
it is intended to obtain in the eco
neinie sphere Just what it is sought
to obtain the reduction OF armed for
ces in the military sphere--an alter
alton Of the present imperialist al
ignments.

Victory for Militants.
The workers Ex-Servicemen's

when Pace, leader of the Michigan

Inhabited by the veterans. This
automatically places him on the ex-

command is fighting to keep him
from being seated, despite the de-
mand of the veterans who elected
him that he take his place in the
leadership.
The fighting program of the w. E

vets in the seized government build

serVlcemen from Michigan, Illinois
Texas, New York, and number OF
other companies under the leadership

their families, ignoring the prepa-

absorbed into the industrial system"

The japanese ultimatum signifi-
cantly followed the protest by the
United States Government against
the declaration of Japan to seize the
Chinese customs revenues collected
at the port of Darien through its
puppet government in Manchuia
Up to May 81 last, these revenues
have been RENTED to the Marking
Government on the basis of 1905
agreement between China and Japan
The Wall Street Government has
informed Japan that Confiscation of
these revenues would constitute a
violation of the nine power treaty"
Washington wants the Marking Gov
eminent to have enough money to
repay the loans advanced by the
United States and other impsrialist
powers. These loans financed the
wars conducted by the Marking Gov
eminent against the Chinese workers
and peasants,
The British Government is also
understood TO have made represen-
tations to the japanese Government.
The Japanese are pretending that
the question is one for their Man
churisn puppet government to decide.
Increases Danger of Attack on
U. S. S. R.
The attempted seizure of the rev.
enues has sharpened the antagonisms
bstween the imperiaiist countries.
Each wants to grab the biggest share
in footing and partitioning China.
The Daily Worker has repeatedly
pointed out that this struggle con-
tains all the elements for another
imperialist world war.
The sharpening of the imperialist
antagonisrns further increases the
danger of armed intervention against
the Soviet Union, since the japanese
imperialists consider that by attack
ing the Soviet Union they could
overcome the hostility of their i'm
perialist rivals and win the impe-
rialist world for the armed crusade
against Communism.
