Red Conference

The British Communists held their annual conference, last week, at Glasgow. It began, continued and ended with abuse, accomplished little.

The Government forbade alien Communists from entering the country to attend, but, like jacks-in-the-box, two foreign Communists suddenly appeared, addressed the conference. They were Dr. Z. Stocker of Berlin, Mile. Marcelle Lebel of France. Long and loud did the Communists guffaw at the impotency of the Capitalistic Government.

Next day, Scotland Yard, much chagrined at letting two Communists through their ports, alleged that the real Dr. Stocker had never left Berlin and that Mile. Lebel was a representative of the French Women Workers' Union, whose entry had not been prohibited.
