WESTERN POWERS
Britain Admits "DifficuItieS"
Would Cause Swift
Intervention.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 5.-The victorious
Ibn Saud's relentless advance toward
Sana in an apparent effort to create
a Saudi empire today alarmed west
ern powers and led to apprehensions
regarding possible results of his con-
quest of the fleeing Yemeni.
Ibn Saud, ruler of Saudi, Arabia,
was reported in control of HoGeidah,
one of Yemens better known Red Sea
ports. and pushing toward Sana, the
capital of his conquered foe. the
Imam of Yemen Ibn Saud's osten-
Sible purpose of uniting ArabianS
caused Great Britain and Italy to de-
mand complete information as to his
plans and objectives.
Political Results Feared.
While authoritative circles here
maintained that the demands were
made chiefly because of the uncer-
tainty regarding the safety of for
eign interests in the immediate area,
it was known that both Italy and
Great Britain feared political compli-
cations - including border or terri
torial difficulties-as a result CT Ibn
Saud's fast advance through South
western Arabia.
Officials declared. meanwhile, that
the British and Italian viewpoints are
in complete harmony instead of
clashing, as some printed reports in
dicated early today.
Italian Backing Ridiculed.
Such reports said Italy backed the
Yemeni, but British leaders ridiculed
the idea.
1t was officially admitted here that
difficulties" with the ruler of Saudi,
Arabia in the area of Alden, which
is controlled by Great Britain, would
result in swift steps Ito put the lead
er in the proper place" Officials,
however, professed to believe trouble
would not develop.
Italy is known to be worried over
1bn Saud's campaign on account of
the closeness of the Italian-protected
eritrea to the war zone.
ArOuses Admiration.
Considerable admiration was ex-
pressed in British circles tonight for
Ibn Sauds ability, and informed cir
cles thought he controls his followers
to such an absolute extent that wide
spread disorder will be prevented.
Reports from Cairo. Egypt, mean
while. said the Imam of Yemens
government was torn with diSSenSlon
as a result of the advance by Ibn
Saud's powerful and well equipped
forces.
The Imam's grand chamberlain was
quoted as saying Yemen was being
Imam himself had ordered his war
riors to cease their resistance.
The Emir Seiful Islam, heir-appar-
ent of Yemen, was reported to be
strongly opposed to this policy and
to have placed himself at the head
of military party ready to fight to
the end.
Would Appoint Heir.
Dispatches from Mecca today in
dicated that Ibn Saud expects to put
Yemen under his complete control
and then appoint his heir, the Emir
Feisal, as governor of the conquered
territory.
A dispatch to the newspaper AL
guehad, in Cairo, from its Sana cor
respondent denied reports the Imam
was dead and said the Fmir Seiful
Islam. who headed the Yemeni forces
at Hodeidah, left his army in Mig
ran and started for Sana to defend
the city against the oncoming troops
of Ibn Saud.
One report reaching here was that
the Imam fled to some secret hiding
place.

that Federal aid might be given to

BY MRS. L. p. DAME.

NEW YORK, May (N.ANA).-
In July, 1888, very urgent message
came from King Ibn Saud for DR..
Dame to come to Riadh speedily and
to bring "Hakima" Qady doctor) or
nurse. The journey was made In
three laps-by launch from Bahrain
to Ojeir, by motor from Ojeir to Ell
Hofhuf, where we rested until motor
convoy was ready to convey us across
the desert to Riadh.
Riadh has a medieval appearance,
| with its walls, turrets and crenelated
roofs. But it presents many contrasts
In appearance and in many ways in
reality it is a medieval town, yet there
is a wireless station there, three times
as powerful as the one in Bahrain,
over which the King receives the very
latest world news. There are tele-
phones and electric lights all over the
palace, but sanitation is almost wholly
lacking and flies are legion. One may
see a procession of 20 or more of the
latest and most up-to-date motor cars
riding alongside the plodding camelS.
No Bath Room.
We were guided to a house belong
ing to one of the Kings brothers. 1t
had been divided into two parts; the
western section, shut off by q door
that had been boarded up, was the
residence of the chief of police. Our
section was commodious, but there
was no bath room.
The waZir (viZier), who called to see
how we were getting settled, when in
formed of this lack, at once tele-
phoned to the king. His reply was
both characteristic and to the point
| Batter down the connecting door i'm
mediately, move out the chief of police
and, presto we would have access
to the bathroom over there and, in
cidentally, have more rooms Before
we knew what was happening, We
were alarmed by blows on the door
from the other side of the wall and,
in few minutes, it was open. To
our strenuous objections to having
the chief of police and his family
turned out without warning. the bland
answer was. 1T is the kings orders
What else to do?"
King Tall and Erect.
The king, chief of the Wahabis, is
unusually tall and well built. Erect
! and regal looking in his flowing Arab
robes. with his pleasing manner and
charming smile, he would command
attention in any company. He is simple,
direct, unaffected and undoubtedly
sincere and at the same time shreWd,
diplomatic and yet opinionated. He
seems to have a firm hold on the af-
fections of his people.
When I first met him I had been
invited to the castle to meet some
of the royal ladies. We were sitting
on the floor, Arab style. in our Arab
clothes, when there seemed a slight
Conlmotion outside in the hallway.
The royal lady next to me hssed in
my ear, "the King!" and, quickly
throwing my veil over my face.
scrambled to my feet with the others,
and then there entered his majesty,
all smiles and graciousness. He is
very easy to meet and to speak with
and has a quality of democracy hard
| to reconcile with ones idea of an
absolute monarch, of which, perhaps
he is the leading example left in the
world.

For instance, the road along which
he passed from the town castle to the
country castle was often picketed by

BY CARL REEVE

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-Among the
highlights of the discussion at the
Eight National Convention of the
Communist Party were the speeches
made by William L. Patterson on
the work Of the International Labor
Defense, the report of Rose Wortis
on the taxi drivers strike in New
York City, and the remarks of a
shipyard worker from a yard that
employs 5000 workers on war con-
tracts.
Fight Against Chauvinism
Comrade Patterson, speaking on
the work among Negro masses,
criticized few white comrades who
hinder the fight against white
chauvinism, who take advantage of
key positions particularly when they
are working with Negro comrades,
to weaken the confidence of these
Negro comrades in the ability of the
Party to carry through the fight
against white chauvinism. They
say that white chauvinism Is too
widespread, too strong, and we can
not carry 1t through. Against such
forms OF anti-party disruptive tao
tics this convention must declare a
relentless war.
Comrade Patterson d declared
"Comrade Browder said to me that
We expect the T. L. D. to give us

nize by everyone here that the L.

the comrades selling the Daily
Worker to see how their strike was
dealt with in the editorials of the
Daily Worker. The leading COM
rades in the editorial staff took
great interest in the strike, spend
ing their days with the strikers,
and / am sure their efforts will
increase the sentiment for the
Party. Also as a result of the
splendid article written by Joe
North in the New Masses, we see
many taxi drivers with New
Masses in their pockets. Even in
this situation we were not bold
enough In bringing forward the
Party"
Comrade Wortis also took up the
question of the proper manner in
which the taxi workers ended their
strike, bringing the strikers back
intact and with the opportunity to
build their union and develop fur

Workers on Strike

LOS ANGELES, March 81 CBy
Maid Men and women workers in
the Mission Knit Hosiery Company,
organized under the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, came out solidly
on strike against the firing Of one
of their members on March 81.
The worker had been discrimi-
mated against because she was a
member Of the union. When the
workers declared their intention Of
striking, the boss came out in the
shop and said, "All right. Go out
on strike and see if your union will
take care Of you the way I've been
taking care Of you all winter"
One Of the workers jumped up
and said, Taking care Of us! We
have been taking care of you all
winter, and bought you a Packard
car besides. And because the union
scale won't let you buy another
Packard you want to destroy the
union. Nothing doing!" So all the
workers struck.

that everyone OF our organizations

We expect every comrade who Is

trict, to take up this question Of

Comrade Patterson declared that
the savage terror which is now one
of the main props of the Wall

Carlos after robbing him of his
citizenship must be made into a
burning national issue, he said.

shipyard and navy yard workers
and the work of the Party around
these yards is that of war.
The line that we have brought
forward is that war is contrary
TO the interests of the working
class and therefore as workers,
though they personally received
higher pay, the shipyard workers
must fight with the rest of their
class against war"
The workers have not yet beer
convinced of this line, the shipyarc
delegate stated, because of certain
confusion in the manner of puttins
forward this line by the Party unit
"One of the most powerful
weapons we have had in our Party
work has been the shop paper. We
also have a union bulletin and
we must state that there is room
for both, and they enlighten the
workers as to the relation between
the union and the Party. One Of
our mistakes was in not bringing
the Y. c. L. forward sufficiently.
Due to leaflets and inside work,
we developed a strong fight
