Britain Warned By Dominions Against Alliance With Japan;

 AUSTRALIA WOULD FIGHT For Great Britain deliberately to help Nippon to q position of such colossal power, British observers say, is unthinkable.
 Australian foreign policy is guid- cd by one fixed principle; namely, "White Australia" A coroliary Is the doctrine of "Territoriai Monop- oiy." That Is to say, Australia in- tends to hold to all her territory as large as the United States thought 1t is and with less than 1000, 900 population--until settled by whites, however long that may
 If this policy were challenged, she would light.
 4 Fundamental Japanese doctrine is precisely the opposite to tho Australian. Japan contends no country has tho right to withhold FubL uTtub iHuthuhtety atVHt uoSs st nation cannot use it's land, it must let others come in that can. WOULD SACRIFICE CHINA
 Great I3ritain's foreign policy, stripped of all consideration for the DomlnionS, is on n different basis. Afraid of Japan---for Britain is in no position to fight q major power in tho Far East--sho would like to come to m understanding with that country.
 But that is far from easy. Japan would require very handsome quid pro quo, and Britain hes lit- tle to offer which Japan would con. slder worth while except q pledge to hid her in the event of war.

 But for the Dominions and opin- ion in Britnin's Far Eastern Grown Colonies. it is said, tho Rothermoro suggestion might got somewhere. But this is q big "but."
 Australasia and western Canada at least would want to make cor. tain what would happen after Japan, by dovOurlng China, had grown. Into an uncomfortable giant

Protests Conditions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. o.
CFP) Plans for a possible hunger
march on Washington by unem-
ployed seamen from North Atlantic
ports were reported here yesterday
by a delegation from the Water
front Unemployment Council OF
Baltimore. The delegates protested
against a cut in relief to seamen
from IS to rs cents day for both
meals and lodging, and against poor
and inadequate food in the Balti-
more seamen's relief project. They
also demanded immediate issuance
Of Winter clothing.
In addition to their demands for
decent standard of relief, the Bal
timore seamen ask the right to elect
their own committees to supervise
their relief quarters and for further
Improvements in conditions.
While relief in Baltimore as re-
suit of a long struggle has been
better than that given to seamen in
any other port, it remained made
auate even before the recent slash,
the men pointed out. Unless the
demands and improvements are i'm
mediately forthcoming, the hunger
march is threatened.

sentatives from the Waterfront IN

ton and to map out a fight for a

Illinois Workers Alliance, has or
ganized picket lines at the relief
station in protest against "pauper
act affidavits" and low relief, have
appealed to the members of the
A. F. of L. to support a city-wide
demonstration on Nov. "A, to elect
representatives to the arrange
nnents committee, and to endorse
the demonstration.
On Nov. 1 the Illinois Workers
Alliance of Bloomington arranged a
mass meeting and invited the State
president of the Illinois Workers
Alliance, Mr.. Morgan, member Of
the Socialist Party. Mike Morton,
section organizer of the Communist
Party, and local member of the
Communist Party, Bill Beck, also
spoke. Morton, in his speech,
pointed out that the Unemploy-
ment Councils in their State Con-
ference on Oct. 20 decided to take
part in the demonstrations on Nov.
"a to organize demonstrations in
towns and counties where there is
no Illinois Workers Alliance, and
to work jointly with the Illinois
Workers Alliance and other work
ers' organizations in counties and
cities where Unemployment Coun-
ellis and these other organizations
exist side by side.
The membership of the Illinois
Workers Alliance voted unani-
mously to carry out the united
front with the Unemployment
Council in its sincere effort to
secure a united front with all work
ers' organizations in the struggle
for cash relief and the Workers
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Bill.

Gratis are trying to mslead this in the direction of

party for tricking the masses Already the right
wing" of the Socialist Party Waldman Solomon are
working with the machine Of the A. F. of L. and
''progressives" for such a party
4. The Communist Party will exert its full
strength to develop mass struggles for the daily
needs of the masses, for the united front of all
toilers in defense Of the economic and political in
terests of the masses against the menace Of war
and fascism, in which the Socialist and A. F. of l..
workers particularly, will be drawn in
With the growing rehabilitation Of the masses
indicated in the strike wave in the increase of the
Communist vote, we must teach the masses the
connection between their economic and political
struggles, developing more effective exposure of
the reformists in order to break the masses away
from the capitalist parties in order to defeat the
third party ruse to keep the masses from imnedi-
ate mass struggle and the path of revolution.
In this situation, the development of the United
Front takes on paramount Importance, and must
become part Of every daily, mass struggle against
the capitalist policies of the New Deal" The
United Front must be developed especially now for
the purpose of accelerating the break way of the
radicalized workers from the two old parties, and
as weapon in the struggle to prevent their being
trapped by the bourgeois third party movements
With the practical steps in developing this
United Front, and some Of the lessons Of the
Communist activities in the election campaign, we
shall deal in later editorials and articles.

capitalist government in action.
These workers must be recruited
into the Communist Party. In our
ranks they must learn how to es-
tablish rank and file control of the
union, to remove the reactiollary
leadership and guarantee victorious
struggles.
Roanoke Rapids again focuses
attention on the South. To un-
derstand the sharpening struggles
here one must know something of
conditions. Words and cold sta
tistics can give only a faint idea
of the privation and misery in the
Southern mill towns. Even sta
tistics on the actual earnings Of
the textile workers, the prices they
have to pay for commodities, are
very difficult to obtain. Occasion
ally some significant facts may be
found on the back page of local
newspaper, such as the report in
the Charlotte News about the ter
rife increase in the price of food
during the past five months.

The committee asked Story to
explain his position before meet
ing of the unemployed and em-
ployed workers, and, if he disagreed
with the schemes of the Relief
Commission, that he join with a
committee from the Unemployment
Councils and other workers or
CARNATIONS to protest against their
policies.
Story agreed to explain his posi-
ton at meeting of workers to be
arranged by the Unemployment
Councils, but refused to join dele
cation to the Relief Commission.
He also promised to give the COM
mittee a letter of introduction to
all local unions of the A. F. of L.,
where the matter Of low relief
standards and low rates of wages on
work relief will be explained to the
A. F. of L. membership, with a
hope that the membership will re-
spond to a city-wide demonstration
on Nov. "a against relief cuts and
starvation wages on work relief.
In Fulton County the Unemploy-
ment Councils, together with the
Illinois Workers Alliance, are plan
ming a central demonstration for
the whole county, and efforts are
being made to get an endorsement
of that demonstration by the City
Council of st. David, mining town
of 1900 population. This town
council is composed of rank and
file miners, most of whom are mem
bers of the Unemployment Coun-
ellis.
