D., Feb. 14.—| The exposure of the bold duplica-| tions made by Brewer at Washington | is not new in this part of the United | States. Four years ago the coming | summer an exposure of this matter was made in the Square Deal, a Non-/| Partisan, League and Labor daily | paper, published in this city. Judge Speaks: Is Canned, The authority for the facts was} given by Judge McCarter, auditor of | the treasurer department at Wash- | ington, during the Wilson adminis- tration. McCarter, according to his| own statement, had made a noise about the fraud in Washington, for which he was let out of office. He claimed to have taken the matter to} Royal C. Johnson, republican mem- ber of congress from the second South Dakota district. Johnson re- fused to move. He went to Sterling, republican senator and Johnson, dem- ocratic senator. He went from place to placec trying to get assistance to bring the bond swindlers to account, but he could get no help from either republican or democrats. Honesty Labelled Insanity. The matter was passed off in this state by those “in the know” with the statement that McCarter was “nut- ty.” The acts as given by him were printed in the Square Deal paper, and also in the South Dakota Leader, official weekly of the Non-Partisan League. None of the republican or democratic politicians whimpered, and the press of the State was as silent as the tomb. The fact that Mellon and his friends are trying to hush the matter up, indicates what was then sup- posed: that the duplicate bonds, in billions of dollars, were in the hands (Continued on page 2.) be questioned about the “slush fund.” Edward L. Doheny, lessee of the California reserves, will be recalled for further questioning concerning “influence” wielded with government officials in connection with oil deals, Oscar Sutro, counsel for the Standard Oil company of California, will be summoned for questioning concerning some phases of the oil negotiations. Sutro’s evidence, com- mittee members predicted, will have a direct bearing upon the charges of fraud and corruption. An important cabinet member of the Wilson administration was men- tioned to the committee today as re- |cipient of hundreds of thousands of Doheny money. Meantime the committee gave strong intimations that it would re- ject both the president’s special coun- sel before the end of the day it they were not withdrawn earlier. Daugherty Gave O. K. Attorney General Daugherty gave “an informal verbal opinion” that contracts for exchange of naval re- serve oil for tank storage were legal, the files of the interior department revealed to the senate Teapot Dome committee today. John Holland, secretary to Sen- ator Walsh, Montana, read to the committee a letter from H. Foster Bain, director of the bureau of mines, to former Secretary Fall in May, 1922, Daugherty’s opinion was given in the face of an opinion by a Standard Oil attorney that the pruposed con- tracts constituted “an absurdity” under the law and whre utterly il- legal. In his letter to Fall, Bain sug- gested that Fall try to have Daugh- erty put his opinion in writing, to meet protests of Oscar Sutro, coun- sel for the Standard Oil Company of California, that the contracts were illegal, These contracts form the strong- est part of the senate investigators’ “ease” against Daugherty and Secre- tary of the Navy Denby. John C. Shaffer, publisher of a of the big financiers of the country to such an extent that both political parties were unwilling to expose the criminals and cancel the bonds. DAWES EXPERTS CLAIM GERMAN PROBLEM SOLVED Says, World Must Ab- aii Way te ‘ sorb German Products. (Special to The Daily Worker) BERLIN, Feb.. 14.—Gen, Charles G. Dawes and his committee of in- ternational experts were on their way to Paris today, convinced they have found a plan whereby the allies ean collect reparations and Germany can be rehabilitated financially. The plan, Dawes believes, will be satisfactory to both France _and Germany if viewed from a strictly business viewpoint. It will enable the allies to get reparations, pre- supposing that Germany is allowed economic contro! of the Ruhr and Rhineland. Under the plan outlined by Dawes’ committee, the maximum amount ob- tainable as reparations will depend upon the extent to which the world absorbs German products. Before his departure, General Dawes visited Chanceilor Marx and thanked him for Germany's coopera- tion in providing material necessary to the committee’s investigations. Marx replied that he was glad the experts had had the opportunity for thoro study of the German finan- cial situation. Full details of the plan were not available before the committee left Berlin, but some of the features were made known. They include: 1. New gold backed currency, sup- oogeton land mortgages now backed the rentenmark must be intro- duced in Germany. 2. A total circulation of five bil- lions of marks must be provided, al- tho temporarily a smaller sum, pos- sibly three billion, will suffice. 3. This currency must be backed by 50 per cent gold, or the equiva- lent. 4, The German budget must be balanced; according to the experts this should not prove difficult. Ger- many probably can manage it her- self thru readjusted taxation, but if she doesn’t she must be helped by outside loans. It is believed a large part of the stock of the new bank could be subscribed in Amer- ica. 5. Germany must be freed of re- strictions now hampering production and export. Towa Democrats Discard McAdoo in 3-Day Meet DES MOINES, Ia., Feb. 14—Iowa democrats yesterday decided to with- draw their support from William G. McAdoo because of the oil exposures and to support BE. T. Meredith, for- mer secretary of agriculture. The vote to dump McAdoo came after a thre§ day session of leading democrats in which his connection with the Teapot scandal was thoroly reviewed. new DAILY WORKER reader recruit in the ranks of Sees ey militant ™ string of newspapers, told the com- mittee today he received $92,000 “for services” in connection with Harry F, Sinclair's payment to the Pioneer. Oil company of $1,000,000 for claims to Teapot Dome. Shaffer said he had one-eighth interest in the Pioneer but had per- formed no services and had put up No money, Fall Knew Lease Illegal. Former Secretary Fall knew the proposed payment of naval oil’ in return for storage tank construc- tion had been held illegal when he made the arrangement with E. L. Doheny, Oscar Sutro, attorney for the Standard Oil Company of Cali- fornia, told the committee today. Sutro, in an opinion to his com- pany, a copy of which was found in the interior department files, ruled the proposed exchange of oil for storage was an absurdity, under the law, and that the act of 1920 gave the secretary of the navy no power to do this, He said Assistant Secretary of the Interior Finney told him Fal} did not consider it necessary to get a ruling from Attorney General Daugherty on this point. Sutro asked permission to pro- duce a transcript of hearings con- ducted by Fall regarding legality of the leases. The transcript showed five gov- ernment officials took part in the disciission and knew all about the leases “notwithstanding contrary testimony given to this committee,” Sutro said, John Holland, secretary to Senator Walsh, who has been making an in- vestigation of records in the interior department, produced correspondence showing Fall knew of Sutro’s opin- fon and disregarded it. Johnson Raps Coolidge. Refusal of President Coolidge to oust Secretary of the Navy Denby from his cabinet is in effect presi- dential approval of Denby’s Teapot Dome dealings, Senator Hirane’John- son, California, candidate for nom- ination for president, on the Re- publican ticket, declared in a speech in Danville, Ill. The senate was entirely within its rights when it voted “no confidence” in Denby and asked for his removal, Johnson declared, Mr. Coolidge pers\nally cast a “no confidence” vote in Attorney General Daugherty when he turned away from the department of justice and appointed private attorneys to investigate the Teapot Dome scan- dal, Johnson said. Harding's Friend Subpoenaed. The senate oil committee decided this afternoon to investigate imme- diately reports that big oil interests circulated a $1,000,000 “slush fund” among Washington officials. Edward B. McLean, publisher and intimate friend of the late President Harding, has been subpoenaed as the first witness. Senator Walsh, Montana, ‘who or- dered the subpoena, said he also wished to question McLean further in connection with his “loan” of $100,000 to former Secretary'of the Interior Fall, The subj na is returnable imme- diately. Fila. cLean is in Palm Beach, The subpoena is expected to bring McLean to the stand before the end of the week. This summons is the first step taken by the committee to trace the origin and disposition of the “slush fund” which is said to have been provided by oil men to influence gov- ernmental action. E. L. Doheny, California oil mag- nate, also will be agked to return to the stand to tell what he knows about the fund. Harry F. ( Washington Is in' Throes of Panic Over Oil Disclosures We’re For This!

It was investigation of #{cLean’s loan to Fall which opened up .the sensational phases of the oil inquiry. McLean, under questioning by Walsh at Palm Beach some weeks ago, saia Fall got checks for $100,000 from him but returned them uncashed three days later, Daugherty Cinched. Postponing until tomorrow the questioning of Frank A. Vanderlip, New York financier, regarding his statement that the late President Harding’s sale of the Marion Star ought to be investigated, the senate Teapot Dome committee today got testimony which showed: That Attorney General Daugherty gave “informal and verbal” approval to the naval oil leases and contracts for exchanging oil for storage, under which Doheny and Sinclair got the oil leases. That Daugherty’s opinion was. giv. en in the face of a written opinion from a Standard Oil lawyer that the proposed leasing plan was “absurd” and illegal. That Fall knew of the Standard Oil lawyer’s opinion, but did not think it necessary to ask a formal opinion from Daugherty. That under instructions from for- mer Secretary Fall, the leasing of Teapot Dome was kept secret, or- ders being issued to all in the interior department to give out no infor- mation. Bain in his letter to Fall stated: “None of us want Mr. Doheny to get into trouble and I take it we all want to do anything we can to make it easy for him. “Out of all this (dispute about the legality of the leases) has come the suggestions repeatedly that the opinion of the attorney general be obtained. : “I realize the objections to asking such an opinion but I have ht it proper to let’ you know the diffi- culties .... that you might deeide as to whether you might not prop- erly ask the attorney general to put in writing what I have understood was his informal and verbal expres- sion of opinion favorable to the ac- tion the department has taken.” That Fall promised w see that Sinclair “took care of” John Shaf- er, owner of several newspapers, who claimed an interest in the Pioneer Oil company’s rights to Teapot Dome. That Shaffer has obtained $92,000 from Sinclair under an agreement growing out of his claim, Standard Oil Influence. Assistant: Secretary of the Interior Finney testified that he was present when arguments were heard by Fall concerning dismissal of a suit against the -Standard Oil of Cali- fornia, relating to the title of Section 36, rich section of naval reserve Number One. Finney said no one was heard by Fall except Oscar Sutro, Standard Oil attorney, and that fall there- upon dismissed the government pro- ceedings and permitted the Standard to retain the section. Finney said he now disagrees with the ruling of Fall, but that he put forward no protest when the decisigg. was made, Finney’s testimony was marked by the suggestion from Senator Walsh, Montana, that Aongp, | was not tell- ig the committee all he knew. “I want the record to show,” said Finney as he coneluded his testi- mony, at I am not conscious! concealing anytaing from this com- mittee.” Walsh repeated that he could not “resist the conclusion that Mr, Fin- ney has not done all he could to help the committee get at the facts.” Walsh’s statement was caused by Finney’s inability to explain definitely why a formal opinion was not ob- tained from Daugherty and hig state- ment that he could not remember sending out the order for secrecy regarding the Teapot Dome lease. Fall's Secrecy. Senator Kendrick, Bal bc asked Finney why he had denied the Tea- pot Dome contract had been signed for nearly, two weeks after the con- tract was signed. “I acted under instructions from Secretary Fall,” Finney answered. “He told me to give out no infor- mation.” Finne: that information concerni clair lease must be withhe' Doheny lease was signed. “What reason do you believe actu- ated Fall to keep the Sinclair lease quiet?” “T don’t know. I surmise he want- ed to make them both public at said his instructions were the Sin- until the once.” Walsh read a memorandum to bureau about that time which the bureaus that infor- mation concerning the leases must be kept quiet. Finney’ could not identify the memorandum, Advance Information. Senator Adams, Colorado, demo- erat, brought out that Shaffer was guaranteed $125,000 for the one- eighth interest. The $92,000 was a part of that, Shaffer said Fall had told him of negotiations to lease Teapot Dome before the lease was signed. Lenroot then brought out that while Shaffer has no formal contract with Sinciair, an oral agreement ex- ists whereby Shaffer is to get half the profits from 420 acres. “So then you still-are to get half the profits from 420 acres despite the fact no contract has been signed?” “Yes.” “Sinclair was willing to give you that half interest merely because Fall told him to?” _ “Yes, sir.” “What has been the attitude of your newspapers toward Fall since the leases were made?” Senator Dill, Washington, Democrat, asked. “We have taken the position that if Mr. Fall negotiated an illegal lease he should be criminally prosecuted.” 210 Acres His Share. Fall assured him he would get 200 acres out of the Sinclair lease, Shaf- fer said, but he never got the land. Sinclair then agreed to set aside 420 acres and give Shaffer half the profits. “This would have given me 210 acres,” Shaffer said. “But Sinclair wanted to develop all the land him- self and so I never signed the con- tract with him. I have no contract with Sinclair now.” Under questioning by Chairman Lenroot, Shaffer said the Pioneer gave the one eighth interest—which yielded him ${*000—‘“for $1 and other valuable services.” “What were the other valuable services?” Lenroot asked, Shaffer said he was to help the Pioneer _in an attempt to get the Teapot Dome lease. He did not say in what way he was to help. John C. Shaffer owns the Chicago Evening Post, the Rocky Mountain News, of Denver, and a number of other western papers. A “Present.” Walsh read minutes of the Pioneer company showing that Shaffer was given one-eighth interest. Shaffer said he never saw the minutes and did not attend the meeting of the Pioneer directors, “They simply made you a present of your one-eighth interest?” Walsh asked. “Yes, sir.” : “What did you give up to get this interest?” “Nothing.” __ Walsh produced a letter written by Shaffer to Judge Finney, assistant secretary of the interior. “Mr. Fall had arranged with Mr. Sinclair for some acreage in. Teapot Dome for me parsepally,” the letter said. Shaffer said he ‘had a claim be- cause he had spent $115,000 in de- veloping land adjacent to Teapot Dome. a “Was it your opinion that anybody who spent any money was privileged ss act part of the Sinclair Lease from all?” “I think any one was privileged to ask for it.” - Painters’ Local 631 Donates $430 for Workers Germany Aid The members of Local 631 of the ainters union after hearing’ Comrade Tohn Ballam of the Workers Party speak on the conditions in Germany and the necessity of coming to the aid of the workers there voted to assess themselves 50 cents each and take the money at cence out of the treasury to be forwarded to the Friends of Soviet Russia and Workers Germany for the benefit of the starv- ing German workers,” e local had previously purchased 100 tickets for the mass meeting which was held in the Ashland Audi- torium for the same purpose.

The capitalist class must be in a very desperate situation if it is forced to speak in such tones of itself. An explosion endangers the foundations of the Republic! The gravity of the situation can hardiy be exaggerated! The structure of our government rocks upon its very foun- dations! §, Private monopoly gained control of the government! The faith of the people in their own government is shaken! The security of democratic institutions is imperilled! The United States is not a democracy today! It is not a republic today! | The popular revolt will elect an insurgent Third Party can- didate! The corruption of Washington casts off fumes of disgust, suspicion, communism! The conditions in Washington are more dangerous to gov- ernment than Bolshevism itself! And we can affirm with glee that the ruling capitalist class and its government are indeed in the greatest danger. They are in danger of completely losing the confidence of the great masses. And that is a mortal danger for the capitalist govern- ment. The capitalist government is the government of a small minority, but it can’exist only if it can rely on the confidence of the great non-ca istic masses. The rule of every capitalist government is based on two factors: on the one hand physical force, the power of the state machine, and on the other hand, the confidence of the masses. It is, therefore, naive and one- sided for many to believe that for the overthrow of the capitalist government, force alone is sufficient. And it is equally naive and one-sided of many to believe that pure propaganda, which wins the masses, is alone, sufficient. It is no accident that lost wars are the best occasions for revolution because a lost war destroys the army, the tool of physical force of the government, and destroys at the same time the confidence of the masses in the capacity of the government to conduct the affairs of the|G nation. The Teapot Dome scandal is less than a lost war for the American capitalist class; but it is a thousand times more than an ordinary case of political corruption. The Teapot Dome scandal will not shake the structure of the army, and the bu- requcracy, but it has shaken and will shake still further the other pillar of the power of the ruling class: the confidence of the masses, : But we should not overestimate the significance of the Tea- pot Dome scandal as an isolated, single factor. Of course it is unique, in that all the important leaders of both political parties of capitalism are at once so thoroly compromised. But we must see clearly that a whole series of important and deep political factors operated simultaneously to make possible the effect of the tremendous Teapot Dome scandal. The process of the loss of confidence f th italist masses in the leadership telaks' Gul mat 1 E of the capitalist class did not begin with the Teapot Dome scandal, but on the contrary it reached its present high point with the Teapot Dome scandal. The sup- pressing monopoly of trusts was the first great factor which affected the masses. Our participation in the world war was the second factor which filled the non-capitalist masses with discontent.

Fights Agents of Darkness, In other lines, however, the associa- tion does splendid work. The depart- ments of science, geography, history offer opportunities for professors to meet and compare notes and to devise ways and means to defeat the aims of those who would darken the men- tal horizon with the inquisition against science, It is high time that labor awakens to the insinuating religious freaks that are rising, in this country, to fight science. Every labor movement should organize to combat those who would stamp out the progress that has been made in the public school and colleges for the advancement of science.
