Page Four FEDERATED FARM LABOR SECRETARY SCORES GOOLIDGE Demands Farmers, Not His Bankers, Be Aided “The real concern of President Coolidge is not the farmers’ crisis, but that of the bank failures thru- out the grain-growing sections of the try”, said Joseph Manley, na- Hopal ” seereta: of the Federated Farmer-Labor Party, in an interview with the DAILY WORKER, com- menting on the president’s message, regarding the desperate situation in the wheat belt. “Starvation in the homes of the farmers is of nob concern to the gov- ernment’s political administration. But a condition of financial chaos among the state and national bank- ing institutions is very much so, This latest measure proposed by the Pres- ident, “to help the farmers”, is one which will help the bankers—but not the farmers. ) “The only measure thru which the bankrupt farmers of this country may hope to obtain any lasting bene- fit—or even temporary relief—is un- questionably the five-year mora- torium demand which has been in- augurated by the Federated Farmer- Labor Party. The farmers every- where are recognizing this fact, All , thruout the country they are coming together, in Farmer-Labor organiza- tions, to join with the Federated Farmer-Labor Party in its efforts to enforce that and other demands, for their own relief.” Manley scores Coolidge’s proposal to creat new banks, in addition to those he seeks aid for. “He would create these banks”, said the secretary, “by appealing to the very agencies which are the cause of the present critical situation. In his message these agencies are listed as “Those large business concerns, the railroads, the mercantile estab- lishments, the agricultural supply houses, and all those large business establishments whose welfare is im- mediately connected with the welfare of the farmer, “The Federated Farmer-Labor Par- ty insists that the farmer himself be helped, and not the financial enter- prises that exploit him. Our demand for a five year moratorium on the mortgage debts of all working farm- ers is hailed by the men on the land. We are gding on with aggressive agitation for the working farmers.” « *. A First Step Effort. SIOUX FALLS, S. D.—The (Continued from Page 1) bing drama of polities, high finance and intrigue. In any drama, the interest centers largely in the characters who move thru its situations. Here, briefly sketched, are some of the principal actors in Teapot dome: Fall Versatile Albert B. Fall, of Three Rivers, N. M., former United States senator, former secretary of the interior. Fall \is a long, gaunt, “hard looking” plainsman of 63, with a cold eye, a stringy “Chuckwalla Bill” mustache |that droops its neutral colored | strands nearly to his coat lapels. Miner, cattle man, lawyer, lumber man, Yarmer, stock raiser, politician, Fall has turned his hand to many things, ending with the cabinet posi- tion tendered him by the late Pres- ident Harding, whose secretary of the interior became on March 5, 1921. , Fall is a man of irascible temper when crossed, but a “good scout” among his friends, with a wealth of! experiences gathered in the south- it. Is Western Type His lanky figure, topped by a broad-brimmed soft hat and with a half chewed cigar stuck at an ag- gressive angle from a corner of his mouth, was long familiar about the capital, Hp talks in an aggressive, assertive manner and when aroused is a hard man to deal with. Fall is the man who leased Teapot dome to Harry F. Sinclair and the California naval reserves to E. L. Doheny. Sinclair—Millionaire Sport Harry F. Sinclair, 48, millionaire oil man and sportsman, owner of the champion race horse Zev. Sin- lair is a native of West Virginia and started out in life to be a druggist. While in the drug business in Inde- pendence, Kansas, he got into oil. Oil made him a millionaire. That per- mitted him to gratify his love of fine horses, so that his stable was the biggest single money winner on the American turf the past two seasons. Like Fall, Sinclair can be “hard boiled” on occasions and for one reason and another is not exceeding- ly popular among some members of the sporting world in which his name is so well known. Sinclair has been one of the coun- try’s mest succesful operators in Oil. He leased the Teapot dome naval oil reserve from Fall in April 1922. Edward L. Doheny, of Los Angeles, spent twenty years prospecting for gold and silver and then turned pros- war} pector for “liquid gold”—California finance corporation will establish im-| oil.

Doheny leased California naval oil reserves one and two from Fall. Walsh of The Legal Mind Thomas J. Walsh, senator from Montana, is the nemesis of corrup- tion in the Teapot dome casa, if cor- ruption is there. Walsh is a mild mannered, somewhat shy, but ex- tremely tenacious and “unbluffable” westerner of 65, with an eye as cold as Fall’s and what, before he trim- med it, was as handsome a “soup strainer” mustache as Fall ever boasted. He has a quality of grim- ness to match Fall’s bluster. Walsh’s mind is essentially judi- cial, with the added keenness of a good investigator. Probe Moves Toward Climax. The Teapot Dome investigation meee rapidly towards its climax to- ‘y. As a preliminary to the testimony tomorrow of Albert B, Fall, former secretary of the Interior, which is Fall Will Say, Democrat Gave Him the Oil Dough expected to be the high point of the whole inquiry, Edward L. Doheny, California oil operator, arrived today to tell his story to the Senate Public Lands Committee.

He was not summoned, but appears at his own request, Doheny will tell the story of leas- ing of naval oil reserves one and two, California, He said here today his leases were entirely legal and that his statement would clear him and the leases from all connection with any suspected corruption. In addition to Doheny’s arrival, the early developments today included: Rapid Developments. all right in the Leland case because they always prayed first, Receipt of word that Fall would arrive in Washington at 10:20 to- A Snarl From The Other Camp Lenin’s death, which has drawn tributes, even from bitter enemies, to large social visi his administrative genius and his incorruptibility, jd ‘Tribune to an almost insane denunciation of Fine , inspires the Chicago In an editorial appearing in its Jan. 23 issue the Tribune says: Lenin was the great destroye: r.

Fall Kind to Doheny. “Mr. Fall has tried to keep my name out of it,” Doheny said. “The loan has nothing to do with the lease I obtained in competitive bidding from the Government.” Doheny leased naval oil reserves ‘number one and number two in Cali- fernia some months before Harry F. Sinclair leased Teapot Dome. Commitee Room Jammed, Doheny’s short white mustache hung down over his lips. As he spoke he peered thru his gold rimmed spec- tacles directly at Senator, Walsh, across the table. The hearing room was jammed to the doors ten minutes before the’ hearing started and capital police stationed outside turned scores away. Doheny was accompanied by his counsel, Galvin McNab. Assistant Attorney General Hol- land, who was sent up by direction of President Coolidge to listen to the evidence, was present. Lowest Bid Got Oil. Doheny said his bid for the Cali- fornia reserves was “the lowest re- ceived by the government.” Two proposals were submitted by him, Doheny said. He read a letter sent to him by Fall notifying him that his bid had been accepted. Doheny’s first contract covering reserves one and two was signed July 12, 1921, several months before he made the loan to Fall. Doheny’s startling announcement was received in silence by the com- mittee. He continued reading his state- ment in a high-pitched, firm voice. _ The bid was specifically for royalty oil but it included a provision for leasing naval reserves numbers one and two in California which “were leased. Doheny read rapidly and members of the, committee and others that packed the room strained to catch his words, Seven Officials Involved. Senator Walsh cross-examined Do- heny after he had finished his state- ment. -“If there was any collusion it in- volved seven members of the navy department and two men of my own company,” Doheny said in answer to the first question. He explained all nine persons were involved in the lease. “My California manager objected to both contracts because we assumed such great obligations. We almost came to blows over it,” he said. ‘Mr. Fall had nohing to do with the study of the conditions under which the contract was made.” Fall Gave Note. Walsh brought out in examining the witness that Fall gave Doheny a persona] note, “T left it at home, I think, or it may be in New York,” he said. BUSY TONIGHT?

Doheny said he gave Fall author- ization to tell all the facts about his loan, to tell the committee months ago, but that Fall chose not to do so. Loan Relieved Mind. “His failure to raise the necessary funds by realizing in his extensive ‘and once valuable Mexican mine holdings and made him feel he was a victim of an untoward fate. In one of these talks I indicated to him that I would be willing to make him the loan and this seemed to relieve his mind greatly. “In the autumn of 1921, he told me that the purchase had become possible by reason of the willingness | of the then owners of the Harris | ranch to sell and that the time had | arrived when he was ready to take) advantage of my offer to make the loan, Came With Fall. “In closing, I wish to state that I left Los Angeles on January 17 to come to Washington to present a statement of all the facts to the committee, and have facts before the committee, and having been in- formed that Mr. Fall was in New Orleans, took that route in order to appraise him of my intention and found him already in entire accord rwith my purpose.” } Doheny Admits $100,000 Loan to Senator Fall WASHINGTON.—Edward L. Do- heny of Los Angeles, lessee of two naval reserves, told the senate pub- lic lands committee today that he loaned $100,000 to former Secretary of the Interior Fall. Doheny said the loan was made “personally” on Nov. 30, 1921. Doheny said it was purely a “friendly transaction and had noth- ing to do with the two leases he obtained from Fall.” Doheny made his statement in written form. He said he had not January 25, 1924 Italy’s Press, Just Like Kept |), OF J, DETAILED Sheets in U. S.

It will interest our readers to read some of the details of this trial, cul- led from a letter received from Italy. Italian Communists Before the Court in Rome. We think it well to give some idea of the manner in which the “Giornale d'Italia” informs its readers about the trial which has created such a sensation in bourgeois circles, “The Giornale d'Italia”, an organ which combines patriotic frenzy with cowardice, wrote as follows: “Our readers will remember the magnificent coup of the agents of our political police which at the be- ginning of 1923, led to the arrest of the notorious Amadeo Bordiga just as he was on the point of escaping. It is due solely to the energy of the inspector of the “secret police Cual- botti that revolutionary action on a large scale, which was in the course of preparation in Italy under the guidance of Moscow, was frustrated, “Bordiga was arrested on the stair- case of No. 35 Via Frattina where the Italian committee Of the Party which adheres to the Moscow Third Inter- national had calmly installed itself on the top floor, “Bordiga wore a magnificent fur coat valued at over 5,000 lire, and he was carrying a leather case which was_ locked. - . “The case contained highly inter- esting documents which shed light on the criminal activities of the Com. munists. “In addition to this valuable case, Bordiga had on him a number of one thousand lire banknotes. The case contained 12,000 lire and a bundle i. cheques to the value of 250,000 ire. “A number of other arrests were effected and on the decision of the prosecuting magistrates, a number of persons were sent for trial ac- cused of having established an asso- ciation which aimed at committing acts directed against law and order.” Among these persons were men- tioned: Amadeo Borida, Bruno For- tichiari, Umberto Terraccini, Rug- giero Greco, Edouardo d’Onofrio, En- nio Niudi, Antonio Gramsci, Guspare told of the loan previo ene he had not been asked about it the committee, Russian Bureau Expresses Grief The Central Bureau of the Russian section of the Workers Party of America, expresses its supreme grief at the loss of our beloved leader of the world Proletariat, Comrade Nicolai Lenin, and upon this tragic occasion solemnly pledges itself to carry out the Communist principles and policies which Comrade Lenin personified during his life time and to which he was devoted until the end.

Doheny was in New York and Fall in Washington, “I have known Fall for about 30 ears,” Doheny said. “We were Tenna together by strong ties of friendship. I followed him all thru his career. I was fortunate and Sen- ator Fall was unfortunate.” Doheny was overcome with emo- tion at this time and‘was unable to | continue for a few seconds. “When he told me about his mis- fortune, I told him any time he need- ed money to come to me, “Ho spoke at that time about get- ting it from Ed McLean, but I told him to come to me.

He said he got the money from his bank, Blair and Company in New York, by cash- ing a check. “I don’t know whether he asked me to get it in cash or not,” Doheny said, Unusual Transaction. Walsh asked him if the transaction was not unusual, “T loaned more than $1,000,000 that way,” Doheny answered. “I realized that the money meant nothing to me, no more than $5 or $10 to another man. “I admit that Fall might have been led to favor me—but he couldn't be- cause the negotiations were not car- ried on by men under his control.” Money Bought Ranch. un at said ig Fp d he ers was used re a $91,000 ranch in New ttaslec and day, Feb. 3, at 2 P.

In all the proclamations of the Italian Com- munist Party, as well as in the mani- festo of the Third International pub- lished in No, 297 of “Avanti,” the workers were called to re-establish the organizational connections which were destroyed, so as to reconquer the positions previously won and subsequently partly lost. “In appealing thus to the workers, we invite them also to make use of illegal methods for owing to the vio- lation by the government of civil liberties and all other constitutional guarantees provided by the existing legislation, the proletariat must resist the government by methods of law- ful self-defense, and also by includ- ing violent means, “Thus, for instance, in view of the fact that secrecy of private corre- spondence is being continually in- fringed and letters addressed to our party organizations frequently op- ened, that premises occupied by our party institutions have been more than once set on fire and our com- rades subjected to ill treatment, the proletariat is compelled to defend it- self with all the means at its dis- Dosal, if necessary, having recourse to violence, “It was to avoid the destruction of our Executive premises that we did not deam it advisable to take a pub- lic office for it. In this respect, I wish to recall the fact that in 1921 the fascisti repeatedly threatened to destroy the premises of our Executive in Milan. Finally the building was occupied by the police who sealed it up, refusing to remove the seals for several months, altho nothing defi- nite could be proved against the lead- ers of our party, “I emphatically deny the existence of any preparations for the over- throw of the government by means of violence. As I have already said, the Party is on the defensive, and not a single sane member of the Party imagines that this state of af- fairs can be changed by violence. “In aceord with its program the |Communist Party aims at the trans- |formation of the present State in- stitutions in Italy, as well as in other countries But, it has not recently been preparing any actions aiming iat the transformation of the Italian State Institution by means of our Party. Nevertheless, I do not con- sider it possible to make any state- ments in connection with these décu- ments, for I believe that their con- fiscation by the police is not due to the conviction that a conspiracy is on foot for the overthrow of the present government, but to the de- sire to divulge by means of this trial the threads of the political organiza- tion of our party, in order to attack it subsequently by every kind of legal and illegal means. Only if I am con- vinced that any of the documents substantiate the accusations brought forward by the police, shall I be induced to make such explanations as T shall consider necessary. “I am not the treasurer of the Italian Communist Party. I do not intend to divulge the name of the person who gave me the three bank- notes found on me by the police. This person was fully entitled to hold the money in the interests of the Communist Party. “As to the three thousand lire taken away from me, I should like one thousand five hundred lire of it to be handed over to my father, Orasto Bordiga, who will take care of my wife and children. I also would like 500 lire to be deposited (at my disposal) in In view of the fact that (as I have already stated) the confiscated bank- notes are the property of the Com- munist Party and were intended for the settlement of Party debts, mainly in connection with newspaper publi- cations, I beg that all these moneys be paid to the creditors. A list of these creditors can be obtained from the member of Parliament, Repossi. I wish the lawyer, Bruno Cassinelli, to act as my counsel for the defense,” Comrade Bordiga‘s answer to the fantastic accusations of Mussolini’s creatures was indeed a dignified one. ———_.

BODYGUARD T0 PROTECT GOMPERS Paraded as Chauffeur But Paid by U. S. A. (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON.—When the Gom er’s forces brought a Russian anti- Communist speaker before the Cent- ral Labor Union here, to the official propaganda against rec- ognition of the Russian republic, some caustic remarks on the argu- ments ofthe imported speaker were made by a delegate from the f 1 employes’ union who has a Russia’ name. This delegate suggested that the central body ask a pro-Soviet speaker to come to one of its ses- sons and tell the other side of the To this plan there was immediate opposition. Edward F, O’Grady, legislative agent, A, F, of L., r a letter from the State Department to Gompers, warning him that a “Soviet” meeting in Portland, Ore., some time ago discussed plans for destroying the A. F. of L., and that in this Portland meeting the pre- diction was made that Gompers would be assassinated within a year. When Primov, the delegate who wanted the truth about Russia, poked fun at O’Grady’s fears, .the chairman stopped him. Demand was made as to whether he were @ “trades unionist or a sovietist.” He replied that he was both an official union delegate and a friend of the Russian people and their struggle for social justice. O'Grady declared that on two oc- casions, during the recent Portland convention, State Department detect- ives shielded Gompers from “prob- able harm at the hand of Commun- ists who tried to get close to him. During the war and for a_ period of more than a year after the war a man named Irish was detailed, ac- cording to his own statement, by the Department of Justice as a bodyguard to Gompers. He was known as Gompers’ chauffeur, but he was paid from the public treasury- “BANKRUPT” GARY PLANS TO SPEND COOL $15,000,000 Sock Still Full .Tho Busted by 8 Hours NEW YORK.—Judge Gary said he would go bankrupt if he granted the eight-hour day.
