age Two THE DAILY WORKER J, S. PLUTES CINCH HOLD ON FAR EAST louse of Morgan Loans Japs Huge Sum By FREDERICK KUH (Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) NEW YORK. The American smpire is having another twinge of growing pains. The Federated Press learns on excellent Wall Street au- thority that arrangements are vir- tually completed for an American banking syndicate loan to Japan, the reported sum ranging from $50,000,- 000 to $70,000,000. J. P. Morgan & Co. will head the bankers’ con- sortium which is to execute the deal with the Japanese government. The loan will be consummated in the form of credits for reconstruc- tion apa to repair the damage in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake. It will be stipuiated that a large proportion, if not the total amount of the loan, must be expended upon materials purchased in the United States, It is un- derstood that certain great Amer- ican industrial groyps will partici- pate in the Joan on condition that their industries are favored with fat contracts. Government Backs Pact Negotiations for the loan have going on secretely for several months. At the outset of this year, it was reported that a Japanese financier had arrived in New York, entrusted with an official mission trom the Tokio government, Inter- viewed, the Japanese banker denied the official purpose attributed to his voyage and blandly remarked that his visit was simply that of a tourist. The disclosure that he was engag- ing in conferences with members of the Morgan firm soon put an end to this canard. This weeks visit of Thomas W. Lamont, chief of the Morgan con- cern, to Washington, where he con- sulted with Hughes and other cab- inet members, is believed to have sealed the Japanese bargain ana secured the approval of the Cool- idge administration for the trans- action, The conclusion, towards which these symptoms pointed, was con- firmed a few days ago, when the Japanese yen, which was tumbling on the money market, suddenly re- gained its stgbifity, and -has remain- ed sto#-~ary since, aps Forced to Yield. lotment of the loan to Mor- gau puts an end to the bitter rivalry of five international money-lending syndicates, which were competing for the Japanese loan. The Japanese government is known to have been unwilling to accept the Morgan pro- posal and to guarantee it, as long as Morgan insisted upon concluding the loan with cities damaged or de- stroyed by earthquake. It is be- lieved, however, that the Tokio gov- ernment yielded on this point, and that the Joan will assume the form desired by Morgan. It is premature to state the po- Iitical offects of the loan. Some time ago, the Moscow daily, “Isves- tia,” anticipated this deal, and ex- pressed the conviction that the price of an ng loan ane ae Ja) e to al in aeoetitine the Soviets. It may be held that the concurrence of Hughes substantiates that theory. Concessions In China? It is both more actual and more that the political and econom- fe prize which is to fall to the American government and to Wall Street, will be Japanese concessions te American private interests in China. Details of these aspects of loan are, of course, being with- from the American public. Coming close upon the heels of dispatch of American naval mis- to Central and South Amer- American intervention in the Mexican civil struggle, U. S. naval maneuvers in the Panama Canal, jintment of an American of Hungary's financial and economic fate, and reported nego- for a Wall Street credit te Germany, this latest emergence of American imperialism in the Far East suggests the flying start ob- America’s empire-build- ers during the brief days of 1924. Whither this index points is amp- ly illustrated in the history of all it empires from the Roman to British, with their stories of op- pression and wars, invariably cul- minating in an era of misery and disintegration at home.

RUM FLOWS FREE AS RICH REVEL AT PALM BEACH Plutes Guzzle Only Best Stuff PALM BEACH, Fla—The idle rich who make Palm Beach their] winter headquarters will spend about $50,000,000 this winter seeking pleas- ure and excitement. This is a con- servative estimate of the amount that will be spent here. Hotels and bootleggers will get most of the money. A lot of it will be lost in gambling. Clothes and the\ upkeep of yachts will get more of it. One of the hotels here is the largest resort hotel in the world and charges about $20 a day for a room. The|it people who really spend the money are the ones who have “cottages”! here, One family consisting of two decrepit old persons have a magnifi- cent palace with scores of servants. They have four Rolls-Royces, and a yacht. This is the heaven of the bootleg- gers. They run their “stuff” direct from the British West Indies and sell it at enormous prices. Nothing but the best is drunk here. No one has been able to figure out the number of workers slaving in the north it takes to create the wealth that is spent here in a few weeks dur- ing the winter. It 1s well that the idle rich who spend their time and the workers wealth here are well out of sight of the workers or there would be a social explosion. N. D.

J.—In high handed fashion Newark police officials broke up an open air meetirfg in Lenin’s honor and arrested Ludwig Lore, Alexander Trachtenberg and Com- rade Epstein. The speakers were later released on $50 bail each, but the Workers Party does not) regard the incident as closed and will test the right of the police to stop work- ers’ meetings. Suits for damages aggregating $20,000 are now pending in the Essex County Circuit Court against Police Captain Ebert for similar action Jan’ 11, when he broke up a meeting at which William Z. Foster and Bishop Paul Jones were to speak. That case js being handled by the American Civil Liberties’ Union. Praise of Lenin Angers Police The Lenin meeting, just inter- rupted, was held under the auspices of the Workers Party. The crowd was assembled outside of the Labor Lyceum, in consequence of the re- fusal of authorities to grant permis- sion for a meeting inside. Lore had just concluded a eulogy of the pro- letarian regime in Russia, where the workers were behind the government, as was the case in no other country, when a police detective interrupted and said the meeting must stop be- cause no permit had been given for Insisting on the right of free speech, Lore continued, pointing out that the police ukase represented the same kind of reactionary powers that Lenin had fought. Haul Down Speakers Captain Seabold came down on the detectives S. O. S. and Lore mwas again ordered to stop speaking and again refused. The police took him from the stand and thrust him into the patrol wagon. Trachtenberg began to speak, was likewise arrested. Epstein took the speaker’s stand, but was hauled down before he could begin. The arbitrary action of the’ police achieved a result they had not ex- pected; it brought greater publicity for the Lenin Memorial meeting and the Workers Party and has stirred up thousands of additional sympathiz- ers. nr © Legion Balked at Kansas City, (Special to The Daily Worker) KANSAS CITY, Mo—The Kansas City branch of the Workers Party held a very successful Lenin Memo- rial meeting in Musicians Hall here. Earl Browder, editor of the Labor Herald, Louise Byers and John Mihe- lic spoke. The American Legion threatened to break up the meeting when it was announced, but must have thought better of it since nothing was either seen or heard of them at the meet- ing. The Lenin Memorlai meeting was supported and attended by so many local unionists that the Legion seem- ed to be willing to let it proceed in order not to antagonize the unionists any more than they have been an- tagonized, Virginia Bray Is Dead; Supported Many Famous Stars FREEPORT, Ill, Feb. 5.—Vir- ginia Bray, 68, who died late yester- day at her home here, was an actress for more than forty years, having supported many old time stars, in- cluding Booth, Barrett, Joseph Jef- ferson, Denman Thompson and Sol Smith Russell.

U.S, PLUTES WILL SAVE MILLIONS BY MELLON TAX PLAN 25 Per Cent 1 Reduction Is Approved (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Feb. 5th. —The Coolidge administration today pushed thru the ways and means committee its plan for a twenty-five per cent tax reduction and made it retroactive to include 1923 incomes, This bill, framed by Mellon, secre- tary of the treasury, relieves twenty- one millionaires including Mellon, of $12,000,000 in taxes and throws the burden on the small taxpayers. When Mellon desired President Harding to veto the soldiers bonus, he estimated there would be a deficit of $700,000,000 for the first fiscal year, but within a year his report showed a surplus of $320,000,000 only a smal error of $1,000,000,000, but it answered his purpose, Dough to Buy Solons. Mellon fought like a wild cat against a higher tax rate on the swollen fortunes of the millionaire ‘supporters of the Coolidge adminis- tration. Millions come in handy dur- ing political campaigns and the wealthy patrons of strike breaker Coolidge may hope to be in a position to eliminate the grease from their hero’s political garments which splashed out of the open Teapot.

Burdick, a Fargo attor- ney: “And now with Teapot ‘Dome spreading the oil smear over our great statesmen, North Dakota is read to join in the fight to scotch the ‘invisible government.’ ” ‘ Burdick’s words fall cold on bust- ed wheat farmers who remind each other that the invisible government of oil in California was so invisible that Edward L.

CITIES LINKED BY RADIO AS STORM RAGES THRU LAND Ill Wind Blows Good to Unemployed Radio was the voice in the storm that raged so furiously thru the country yesterday. But for the new invention towns would have been iso- lated from each other as telegraph wires went dawn in the blizzard. Squads of telephone and telegraph repair men fought their way thru snow drifts ranging in depth up to ten feet to the foundered wires in a des- perate effort to link scores of cities which had lost touch with Chicago and surrounding towns. Word from Milwaukee tells of an impending milk famine as trucks ve up the attempt to progress along the highways blocked with snow. In Chicago two persons were killed and 25 seriously injured when a locomo- tive hit a street car at West 49th street and South Kedzie avenue in the midst of driving sleet. One good thing the storm has done is to furnish employment for penni- less workers who were putting in a wretched winter in Chicago without work. Thousands of snow shovelers were hired to clear the tracks for street gars and other vehicles and by busi- ness houses to clear off their front pavements, So the storm was an ill wind that blew some people some good. Great Social Drama, “R.U.R.” to Be Staged by Defense Council “R. U. R.”, the powerful social drama by Karel C: , is coming to Chicago again. This time, however, it will be iven in its proper setting. Instead being presented as just another ordinary theatrical venture, with the ring of its appeal smothered in the indolent atmosphere of the bourgeois playhouse, “R. U. R.” will be put on in a huge labor ha!l before masses of working men and women. “With the two-fold motive of stim- ulating proletarian culture and rais- ing’ some of the funds needed for the Michi an defense, the Labor Defense Council recently secured from the Theater Guild of New York, the right to produce “R. U. R.” in Chicago. The Theater Guild showed a fine will- ingness to co-operate and even agreed to give up its usual royalties, in view of the purpose for which the play is to be given. Several days ago, the original manuscript arrived at the Labor Defense Council office, together with stage-directions and actors’ parts. Present plans con- template the giving of three perform- ances in various parts of the city, during the month of April. i The production as planned will be complete in every detail, Every at- tempt will be made to give just such @ performance as the author would wish.

(Special te The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON. — No crocodile tears for Woodrow Wilson are be- ing shed by the German embassy. By order of the Berlin government the embassy officials: are disp'aying no flags at half mast nor any other signs of mourning for the war lord who broke his promises to the German people by abandoning the 14 points on the basis of which they had laid down their arms after overthrowing the kaiser. “The betraver of Germany” is the title given Wilson in German news- pavers, according to cables from Berlin. The Germans’ resolute defiance of hypocritical conventions occasioned dissatisfaction on the part of those who exvected a unanimous appear- ance of grief from the diplomatic corps, but plaudits from Americans who were disgusted with al! the furor over the return to clay of the man who sent hundreds of thou- sands there before him. 3 One American mayor has refused to join in the volume of official sobbing ‘that is coming from office holders thruout the land. This was Mayor Daniel Hoan of Milwaukee who refused to send any telee~am of condolence for the lors of Wilson. The Milwaukee Ameri- can Legion has declared that it wil pass a vote of condemnation but the dispatches do not indica‘ that the mayor is troubled by their attitude. The feeling of many Americans was expressed by a newspaperman here who pointed out that no one but his family and a few friends mourn when a citizen who has played square with his fellows dies and there is no reason for extra tears when a fellow of another kind dies, Drake Hotel May Figure in Veteran Bureau Graft Probe The investigation of graft in the Veterans Bureau has shifted to Chi- cago, it ¢ known yesterday.
