France Looted by Chauvinists
Wall Street's Money Lenders Encounter a Snag
(By Laurence Todd, Federated
Press)
WASHINGTON—France cannot
pay a dollar of her debt to the
American treasury; she cannot
even balance her budget at home
without repudiating 60 per cent, of
the interest on her $300,000,000,-
000 francs of Internal debt, for a
period of years at least.
This is the substance of a 450-
page report on the French debt
problem, prepared by the Institute

Country Labor Conditions
wtth references to the failure of
capitalism and to the necessity for
the working class to take hold of
the economic and technical Institutions and .create a new social order. "The workers must sweep
away such a system and replace
it by. a structure based upon co-
£pe.rat*toiv,?*.nd m. which every man
and woman will be assured the full
s fruits of their labor.' '

review of the present economic
situation in lhe.British Isles, and

slash the miner's wages In certain
localities,. he found the, Vancouver
capitalist press endeavoring to
throw the onus on the miners.
The miners, Mr. Walkden continued, had had their wages slashed to the bone in 1921, and,when
the mine owners attempted to
make a further cut the remainder
of the British workers had put
their foot down and refused to permit the miners to be ground down
to a still lower level. The Trades
Congress had taken an active part
in effecting the settlement, and if
at the end of nine months, when
the present agreement expired, lt
was found necessary a special session of the Congress would be convened to deal with the question.
Local papers, the speaker pointed out, referred to British workers
refusing to work, and preferring
to live on the dole. The term
"dole" was a wrong expression. It
reality lt was a state Insurance
against unemployment, towards
which the workers had to contribute from their w.iges, and not
a gratuity from the government.
It was not a matter of refusing to
work, but of sheer inability to find
employment. The Vancouver dally
press would be well advised to secure further information before
attention to disseminate news.
Fascisti groups were being drilled for the alleged purpose of assisting the police. This was not
necessary, the speaker said. British workers had given no occasion
for private Individuals to arm
themselves, but If this was allowed
to go unchecked, If a gang of ir-
responslbles were going to be per-

Contest many Seats
WINNIPEG — Labor preparations for the federal election are
proceeding rapidly here. In the
City of Winnipeg, four candidates
have been nominated on the Labor
ticket, and ln various of the outlying constituencies preparations
are being made to nominate Labor,
Farmer-Labor, and Progressive
candidates.
Those already nominated In
Winnipeg are: J. S. Woodsworth,
North Centre; A. A. Heaps, North;
A. Henry, South Centre; and John
Kelly, South.
It will be noted that two of those
nominated on the Labor ticket in
this town are men who were arrested and tried for seditious conspiracy at the time of the general
strike In 1919. These are J. S.
Woodsworth and A. A. Heaps.
At the nominating convention
for Winnipeg North three other
names besides Mr. Heaps were
placed in nomination. These were
Aid. Jones; R. Durward, and Marcus Hyman. The first two named
declined nomination, and Mr.
Heaps was selected by a large majority, after which Hyman moved
that the nomination of A. A. Heaps
he made unanimous, and this was
done.
of Economics under direction of
Prof. Harold G. Moulton, and already submitted to the members of
the American debt commission.
If Moulton's figures are right,
the French are now paying more
than 22 per cent, of their national
income of all kinds, as taxes, more
than are the American taxpayers,
and fully as much as the British.
France's internal debt is now
paying 5 per cent, interest to the
holders. Moulton recommends .
that a "forced reduction" to 2 per
cent, be made, and that a special
surtax on large corporations and
individual incomes be provided, to
equalize the burden of confiscation among the well-to-do.' Cancellation or repudiation of three-
fifths of the interest bearing value
of government securities would
fall most heavily on banks and
farmers. Only by So'me such drastic measure, he holds, can the
French budget be balanced in the
future, and the currency stabilized
on a basis of three paper francs for
one gold franc—a value for the
franc of C.4S cents. .
One of the surprises in the study
is the finding that military expenditures are a very small part of the
French national budget. Even lf
20 per cent, were to be cut from
this item, the budget deficit for
next year would be reduced hy
only one-eight. The war in Morocco will Increase the deficit, of
course, but peace would not save
the franc.

Thomas Klrkup,
MONTREAL—When the labor
market ls overstocked and hundreds of men walk tho streets
searching for work, it is a sure
sign that wages are about to bo
cut. When Canadian wheat elevators are bursting with grain it is
indication that the price of wheat
ls about to fall, but. no criterion
that the price of bread will follow
suit.
This fact was brought home tn
the delegates attending the Montreal Trades and Labor Couneil recently, when a letter from a local
union of the Steam and Operative
Engineers was read, pointing out
that "this years wheat crop was
larger than usual, that the price
quoted was helow what it has been,
and that employers were reducing
wages, but that the price of the
staff of life—bread—had increased.
The matter was referred' to the
Executive Committee.

HPHE mushroom growth In the fortunes of Standard Oil multl-mil-
llonaires, without effort on their part, is shown in a study of the
financial development of this combine, prepared by Carl H. Pforz-
helmer & Co., specialists in Standard Oil securities. Between January
2, 1912, and January 2, 1926, the aggregate capitalization of the 34
separate Standard Oil units grew from $296,432,457 to $2,084,442,820,
ajp increase of over 600 per cent, with practically no additional investment by the stockholders.
This growth, according to the
New Tork Times, is "one of the
marvels of industrial expansion in
the United States during the past
few decades." The Times notes
that it "represents largely the distribution of stock dividends against
accumulated earplugs."
Increase in Capitalization
These stock dividends, according to Pforzheimer, were possible

Also Cash Dividends
These figures cover Instances
where the owners* wealth was
doubled overnight. In the case
of Standard OU of Indiana, the
wealth of stockholders was increased over SO-fold (3150 per
cent, ln stock dividends) without
effort on their part. Such an increase measures nothing more
than' power to exploit workers and
consumers through a stranglehold
on essential natural resources.
In addition to the stock dividends shown in the table, Prairie
Oil has declared dividends ln
Prairie Pipe Line stock equivalent to an additional 460 per cemV
Similarly, Ohio Oil has declared
dividends ln Illinois Pipe Line
stock equivalent to 133 per cent.
Nine of the companies have also
given their stockholders special
subscription rights valued as high
as 600 per cent.
These stock dividends are ln addition to $1,417,260,197 distributed in cash dividends. A large,
part of this was also reinvested,

NEW TORK— (F P) — After
bringing a truck load of tear
bombs and reserves from a dozen
stations to scatter a mass of workers who had gathered in front of
a struck clothing factory here, the
police next day raided the. offices
of the Cutters' Union on the pretext that weapons would be.found
in the possession of some niembers.
None of the alleged weapons were
found.
The raid followed a spontaneous
demonstration of the striking tailors In front of a tailoring shop
against which the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers has been conducting a twelve week strike. Police reserves were on hand to drive
the strikers off the streets, because
the strike breakers in the building
were afraid to go home.

...WASHINGTON.—A proposal"to
"militarize industry," which will
give the president power to Induct
men Into the army in time of war
and then grant them "industrial
and agricultural" furloughs, is being drawn up by a group of militarists to be presented to the next
session of Congress, in order to
crush strikes during war time.
The "industrial- and agricultural"
furloughs could be revoked at any
time that the president may see
f* fit. No conscription of wealth is
planned. '." ,'..>*_
This conscription act would apply- to all- -workera between the
-ages of IS and 45. The only exceptions to the draft act would
be the clergy, necessary mariners
and a number; of classes of federal, state and municipal employees.
Conscientious objectors to war
would not be compelled to parti-
I'cipate in combatant service. The
president would have the power
to decide in what non-combatant
f service to place them.
Aliens who had declared intention of becoming citizens could
' escape the conscription by withdrawing their declaration. This
would bar them from ever becoming citizens.
[Bankers Kick Because
Profits Are Too Low
NEW YORK—(FP)—The One
IBIg Union of American bankers is
holding Its national convention
aere. The bankers have elected
jthelr president and vice-president,
land are now turning their attention to better working conditions.
They claim that the strict regula
ions under which they are allowed
(to handle other people's money
prevents them from making a fair
profit. The very foundation of the
national hanking system are
threatened, according to the president of the First National Bank of
Davenport, Iowa, who points out
I'hat one tenth of the capital of the
Ration's banks have been diverted

pause of the freer manipulation of

The bankers do not like the larger freedom allowed their competitors the building and loan associations, which are free of taxation

PHILADELPHIA— Preparations
for the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is going
on in Philadelphia in scab fashion
with a 10-hour day and non-union
pay for the workers doing the necessary construction. A big delegation of Philadelphia labor men
put the issue before, Mayor fendrick. ' ..
"Unless conditions change for
the better the proposed Sesqui
Centennial wil prove to be a curse
instead of a blessing," 'John A.
Philips, vice-president of the International Typographical Union,
and a member of the delegation
told the mayor pointedly.
"Men employed there work a
10-hour day, six or seven days a
week. Union scale of pay is not
recognized and some men work
12 and 14 hours daily at straight
time pay. Carpenters on the subway receive 66 and 60 cents an
hour as against the union rate of
$1.12. Cement workers, iron work-
workers, machinists and blacksmiths also are paid at rates far
below the standard set by the labor unions. Many of the laborers
of these projects are brought to
Philadelphia by alluring advertisements that are scattered over the
country and not all of the thousands lured here can be given work
on the contracts." ■
Mayor Kendrick said he was
hearing these facts about municipal labor conditions for the first
time.
INDIA
Speaking at the International
Conference at Geneva, Chamanial,
an Indian delegate, said that one-
third of India was under the system of forced labor. The workers
were destitute and on the verge of
starvation, whilst both men and
women worked in the coal mines
for an insignificant wage. "India
is a land of slaves," he said. He
demanded that the Conference take
some action to better the pitiable
plight of the Indian natives. The
Conference did nothing.
BELGIUM
A report of the Central Association of the Belgian building, furnishing and other industries points
out that there were 117 strikes
during 1924, of which 67 were terminated with complete success,' 12
were a partial success, 22 suffered
a check, nine ceased after the displacement of certain men, and seven were either inconclusive or still
in progress at the end of the year.
There were about 100 threatened
strikes, which did not materialize.
BULGARIA
According to the latest news
from Bulgaria, the agents of the
Government committed in January
of this year alone, 150 murders
of officials of the Trade Unions,
co-operatives and of the radical
movement of the Macedonian
workers and peasants. In the
course of the last one and a half
years 16 mombers of Parliament
have been murdered, of whom four
were .murdered in the last five
months.
Land of Liberty Mints
Children Into Profit
(By L. F. Budenz, Federated Press)
PHILADELPHIA—The checkoff
is aparently the stumbling block
in the way of peace in the hard
coal regions. According to a union official, "The operators are
holding the country up on a point
which means no extra costs to
them and which will not add a
cent to the cost of coal, directly
or indirectly."
With the soft coal situation before them both operators and men
understand the importance of full
union recognition through the
checkoff. The quiet battle going
on in the/hills of Pennsylvania is
over that essential point. The operators will not listen tp it because
they see in it a final permanent
establishment of the union. The
men want it as a guarantee that
they will* retain all that the union
has won for them.
Memory of the past has branded
the word union into the hearts of
the men as a symbol of betterment.
For although anthracite is today
100% organized and no strikebreaker or deputy can enter to interrupt the peaceful strike, conditions were once very different.
In Hazleton I was forcefully reminded of the days before the union. My hosts, representatives of
District 7 of the mlneworkers, took
me to the Lattimer battle site,
where men were shot down in cold
blood by deputy sheriffs in 1897..
Tne aid school house still standk>*
toward which they" iied as th«y .-i.
were riddled with bullets shot li*\k,
to their backs. Lattimer is today a' ■*
memory, but it ls one that reminds
the miners of what was "before
the union."

Painters To Demand
Health Legislation
NEW YORK—(FP)—By Unanimous vote of the Montreal convention the International Brotherhood
of Painters, Decorators, and Pap-
erhangs becomes the first union to
work for national health standards
for its membership, according to
the Director of the Workers'
Health Bureau, who attended the
Painters' convention.
The Painters' International became affiliated with the Workers'
Health Bureau at its last convention.
The national health policy of the
Brotherhood calls for the control
of poisonous fumes and dust, maximum ventilation where painting is
done, and rest periods where paint-
Is done in poorly ventilated rooms.
It forbids the use of spraying machines in painting and dry rubbing,
provides for sanitary wash rooms,
and demands fresh overalls furnished by the employer; also that
paints be labelled with a statement of their contents, and sold
only in original containers.

HAZLETON, Pa.—(F P)—The
hard coal miners will hold out until they win something substantial.
Their spirit Is just as optimistic
and determined as it was just before the strike. The word "union"
has a religious significance. "It is
the thing that makes us know wo
are men," said a dramatic Slav, in
the heart of Ebervale.
Some apreciation can be felt for
the fighting spirit of the women,
who so long have had to face not
only the eternal battle against
coal dust, which floats into their
houses and litters up every room,
but also the problem of raising 6
to 14 children in 2, 3 and 4 cramped rooms under primitive conditions.
Each wage increase is followed
by the destruction of another block
or two of those old "cattlepens."
The Increase is the 'signal for the
miners to look out for better residences. Down go the old, up rise
new houses, ln response to the demand. A 10 per cent, increase
out of this suspension will mean
that at the time of the next difficulty the correspondent will see
fewer of these shacks in the towns
around Hazleton.

A/IOSCOW REDS have peculiar

fact is well known. Their latest
escapade was a plan to assassinate
King George but before doing so
they cabled their names and full
details of the plot to the Vancouver
Sun who exposed their diabolical
intentions. In six inch headlines.
Tlie story was good—the paper containing H Hold like hot-cakes. Unfortunately Scotland Yard says the
tale is a "flat canard," but nevertheless, Mr. Cromie is to be congratulated on his extraordinary
bnsiness acumen.
TJARRY STEVENS'- RECORD should be sufficient to entitle
him to draw a sessional indemnity for a further four
years, in the opinion of Billy Bowser, of Nanaimo strike fame.
Billy's record netted him the boot at last provincial election,
so the less he talks of personal history the better Stevens'
chances will be. The record Bowser referred to certainly
show statesmanlike qualities. Stevens, according, to Bowser,
dredged the First Narrows, Coal Harbor and False Creek;
drained forty-two acres of tideflats; built several wharves
and elevators, and erected an immigration shed, all in a few
years, by merely talking in Ottawa. Harry apparently is
right there with the lung power. Bowser failed to mention
one other important item which puts Stevens almost in the
position of a second Gladstone. His first job on reaching
Ottawa was to have legislation passed prohibiting beachcombing, for which he. has been truly blessed by Coastal
mariners during the past few years. Of course no one but
a statesman or a lumberman could have conceived such a
bold* act or understood its importance to Canadian workers.

PLIGHT RATES appear to be the major if not the sole

estimable Mary Ellen eighteen months-ago; but it is standing
up well under the strain, and there is little to indicate that-
several more elections will not be fought on the question of
C.P.R. profits. Certain it is that some "railway issue" will
be at stake in future elections. That's what,_y&^g6t.JH>m

the abolition of the use of troops in industrial disputes; repeal
cf deportation laws; old-age pensions; non-contributory health
and unemployment insurance, and other matters of like importance, are among the immediate needs of the workers,
but .these are not mentioned except by Labor candidates, because the others represent the financial interests, to whom
railways mean more than human flesh and blood.

■PANADA'S REAL GOVERNMENT, the C.F.R., overlooks no
^ bets capable of bringing in a profit. The workers of
Britain have lately been told a few facts regarding actual
conditions in Canada, with the result that they have failed
to enter Canada fast enough to suit the wishes of the railroads, so E. W. Beatty, president of the C.P.R., sent an invitation to a number of British journalists, asking them to
"make a peronal trip through the Dominion in order to counteract anti-Canadian propaganda." They came, looked, and
saw everything it suited the C.P.R. to show them. They
have now departed for home with the avowed intention of
becoming boosters for increased immigration to this country.
The editor of the London Times, before departing from Montreal, asserted that he intended to "make known to young
men the splendid opportunities that awaited them in Canada."
Now that the C.P.R. and C.N.R. have received from the Liberal government "a free hand to select and transport all colonists," we can be assured that the unemployed lines will be
considerably lengthened. But that is part of "our railway
policy."
* * * • •
npHE VISITING JOURNALISTS, according to their pub-
Wished statements regarding this land "so full of opportunities," seem to be unaware that the cities of Vancouver
and Winnipeg are warning harvesters to keep away, because
should they get hungry this winter in either place they need
expect no aid. • The city of Vancouver is plastering notices
"in all available public places throughout the prairie provinces" informing the unemployable farm hand that no doles
will be given out here, but that after a thorough investigation
"extreme cases of indigents" may get "$2 for married men
and $1 in the form of meal and bed tickets per day for single
men." The Canadian wheat crop could not be harvested
without these men, but after they have performed that task
they aie as unwelcome as a Mohammedan would be in the Vatican. This is one fact the very Christian president of the
C.P.R. does not advertise. Seeing Canada as it really exists
is a* vastly different thing from viewing it from the rotunda
of a C.P.R. hotel.
Party Politics
I AM in the effete Bast, suffering
* from a "cussedness" of party
politics, in which two managers
representing different interests of
a powerful exploiting machine are
advancing their respective ideas
and policies, and presenting solutions for the cure of dreadful- diseases.
These two managers are storming up and down the' country
speechmaking, denying statements,
making new- ones, misconstructing
the other manager's policy and
statements, and-at times' almost
telling the truth about one another. In fact their methods of
calling each other liars without
saying so is a study in the art of
the use of the English language.
All of this Is done to the exclusion of "news." The newspapers fairly screem with-the doings,
and saying of the two "Hon. Gentlemen," and we are once again in
Eatanswill, the Uttle town that
provided our friend Pickwick witb
a short course in political experience, and the science of electioneering, in the contest between the
"Blues" and the "Buffs;"
"You have come down here to
-ssisc an election, eh?" Mr. Pickwick
replied in the affirmative. Spirited contest, my dear sir," said the
little man. "I'm delighted to hear
it," said Mr. Pickwick, rubbing his
hands," "I like to see sturdy patriotism, on whatever side it" is'
called forth—and so It's a spirited
contest?" "Oh, yes,;' said, the little
man, "very mucti"so, indeed1? We"
have opened-all the public houses
in the place, and-left our adversary nothing but the beer shops—
Masterly stroke of policy- that, my
dear sir, eh?" The i|ttle man
smiled complacetnly and took a
large pinch of snuff.
"And what are the possibilities*
as-to the result of the contest?"
inquired Mr. Pickwick. "Why,
doubtful, my dear sir, rather
doubtful as yet,'' replied'the little
man. "Pizkin's people liav* ■?<>*
three and thirty voters in the lockup coach ■ house, at the White
Harte." "In the coach-house,"
said Mr. Pickwick, considerably
astonished by this second stroke
of policy. "They keep 'em* locked
up there till they want 'em," resumed the little man. "The effect
of that is, you see, to prevent out-
getting at them; and even if we
could it would be of no use for
they keep them very drunk on
purpose. Smart fellow, Fizkin's
agent—very smart fellow, indeed."
Mr. Pickwick stared but said nothing. '*'
"We are pretty confident," said
Mr, Perker, sinking, his voice
almost to a whisper. "We had a
little' tea party here last night-
five and forty women, my dear sir
—and gave every one of 'em a
green parasol when she went
away." "A parasol!'' said Mr.
-Pickwick. "Pact, my dear sir,
fact. Five and forty green parasols at seven and sixpence a piece.
All women like finery—extraordinary the effect of those parasols.
Secured all their husbands and
half their brothers—beats stockings
and flannel, and all that sort of
thing hollow. My idea, my dear
sir, entirely. Hail, rain, or sunshine, you can't walk halfa-dozen
yards up the street without encountering half a dozen green parasols."
Thus we find ourselves ln the
same old rut. The dead past running amuck in the living present.
"Cures" for sick railways, senates,
tariffs, etc., under the present
order of society ,are about as valuable as green parasols to a C.P.R.
section hand While engaged in
"timpi»i^''tle&1 "
The delightful pttstlme of keeping owning ' claSs problems before

ln such a manner that we are unconsciously drawn into the vortex
of capitalist class problems. We
attempt to solve the problems that
confront tlie "nation','1 and our <
ideology becomes tiie ideology of
one or the other wing of the owning class.1'
This brings us to an understand*- u

suggested 'IS.- Snbdgrass. "Snbut

Home. Work Abolished

MOSCOW—Assignnients of home
work in arithmetic, spelling, history and geography are forbidden
for the pupils in* the first nine
years of the public schools by order of the commissariat of education in the Soviet republic. Brief
essays and reports may be assigned providing they require not more
than six hours of work a week and
even those are forbidden on evenings preceding, holidays.
This change is a radical, step forward in the system of education.
Among the advantage to be derived
from it are: It tends to develop
character in each individual child;
it tends to eliminate memorizing
and cramming, its efect upon the
child's mind will be to keep it
fresh and alert for school life. It
is greeted with enthusiasm by the
parents as wel as the children.

Labor Delegates Fight
JNignt YVorK «'or Women
NEWARK, N. J.—(FP)—The
ban on all nlgnt work ior women
and, the right to peaceiut picketing under all circumstances are
measures which will be lougnt lor
at the coming session of tne .New
Jersey Federation of I_abpr.
Prison made goods were condemned, the federation demanding the prohibition of all prison
contract labor and George H, carter, head of the government printing office at Wasmngton, recently
denounced at the convention of tne
international Typograpnivui Union,
was pronounced as "incompetent
and un-American: He has estao-
lisned a spy and stool pigeon system; impaired the ettiviency and
morale of the printing department
and should be removed as speedily
as possible."
The attack on night work foi-
women was initiated by the Waiters, Cooks and Waitresses Union at
Atlantic City, who introduced the
resolution that passed to amend the
no-night-work-for-women law fixing a fine of $25 upon the employer for every violation and providing that women shall be employed at nothing but housework in
their own homes after 9 p.m. The
violation of the present law against
women's night work has been an
open scandal, the lack of proper
penalties and enforcement provisions assisting the employers in setting it aside. Passaic woolen mills
have been leading violators.
The government of a free country, properly speaking, is not in
the persons, but in the laws.—Tom
Paine.

Summing up the argument in
Unemployment Problems
Discussed by Congress
(Carl Brannlp, Federated Press)
SCARBOROUGH, Eng. —With
more than 1,600,000 unemployed
workers ,ln England today, and
the number growing week by
week, the Trade Union Congress
confined itself to measures dealing with reform of the present
unemployment relief machinery
rather than militant action to
check and overcome this menace.
Harry Pollitt, delegate from the
boilermakers, and secretary of the
National Minority Movement, asked the Congress to adopt a programme embodying the following
features.
1. To cement bonds between
unemployed and employed workers so that they would fight better together ln strikes.
2. That Labor Party i,n Parliament should pursue a policy of
obstruction until definite action
was taken to stop the closing
down of Industry; to extend government credit to concerns desiring to trade with Russia and
break the credit blockade of the
batiks as evidenced by their resent refusal to finance large buying orders of machinery from
Russia.
3. A nation-wide campaign to
organize the unemployed.
lie pointed out that unemploy-
ment was being artificially fostered as a part of the employers' offensive igalnst the miners and the
working class generally next May.
J. M. Keynes, Liberal economist,
was -.iu-. ted as an authority In this
connection.
Ullen Wilkinson, Labor M.P.,
anil Haldsworth of the Distributive Workers, ureed that the National Unemployed Workers' Committee Movement be given full affiliation to the Trades Union Congress. Thev pointed to tbe fine
support given by the men and
women out of work to other workers out on strike. In case after
case they had refused to scab,
even though they were hungry
themselves. The unemployed
should be tied closer to the Trade
Union Movement and given a
chance to present their ease at
the Congress of Trade Unions.

disputes apart trom the whole
