Senatorial Opposition Melts. The senatorial opposition, just like the next probable premier in France, Herriot, was taken up the mountain to be shown. The defeatéd Premier Poincare, of France, told Herriot that agreements had been reached with J.

WELL, ANYHOW, WHILE THERE'S LIFE THEeRe's HOPE The question of the world court came up first. Decisions on other ques- tions will reveal the hand of the world’s most powerful banker as the convention proceeds. Expected Little Dust. Tho everybody knew beforehand that the conyention would be a cut and dried affair and that practically everything was settled before the formal act of convention curtain-rais- ing, yet many believed that some dust would be kicked up, at least in the; resolutions committee if not in the convention hall, over the matter of foreign relations. , It is a matter of common knowledge that there has been some divergence of opinion between the Republican senators and the president over the attitude the country is to adopt to- wards the World Court and the League of Nations. Coolidge for Morgan Plan. President Coolidge has come out for the Dawes plan and has called upon all American bankers to come across and get behind a big loan fo Germany as proposed by the Committee of In- ternational Experts on which the United States was represented by “Hell-and-Maria” Charles G. Dawes, and the two banker-generals, Owen D. Young and Henry M. Robinson, who have for years been closely associated with Morgan interests. President Coolidge also is one hun- dred per cent behind the Harding plan for a world court which has its entry to the League of Nations thru some back door, This falls in line logically with his being an ardent ad- vocate of the Dawes plan which grew out of unofficial, tho energetic, co- operation between American financial interests backed by the administra- tion and the League of Nations. Senate Opposition Wan Senator George Wharton Pepper, one of the leading figures at the con- vention and in the Republican party, for instance, is positively opposed to America’s participation in any world court which has front or rear door entrance to the League of Nations. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa- chusetts, who has served for ,years as the floor leader of the Republi- cans in the senate, is even more bit- terly opposed to the United States finding its way into co-operation with the League of Nations. It will be re- called that Lodge was the leading enemy of the Wilson League of Na- tions’ plan, the much-discussed Article 10 of the League Covenant, and that (Continued on page 2.) mary nine Drawn especially for the DAILY WORKER by K.

Editor of “The Liberator.” Staff Writer and Cartoonist of THE DAILY WORKER, CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND, O., June 10.—"It Is appropriate that a republican national convention,” said Theodore E. Burton, as he took the gavel as temporary chairman, “should assemble in Ohio.” It is. Mr. Burton, the hardest-boiled of the Ohio crowd, Is himself the living evidence that the “boat hasn’t been rocked”— that the crowd that furnished scandal headlines for the news- papers a few months ago is still in charge of the republican party and the Row-Boat of State. There’s Harry Daugherty out there, in the sea of faces, a little glum because the Ohio delegation thought best not to make him openly the delegation chairman—him, who might be now opening the orother Mal had been less stingy vith Roxie and Roxie hadn’t alked. An Ohio Convention. The temporary chairman's voice, magnified to great volume, roars out of the “loud-speaking” machine, “Not far away are the resting places of Garfield, McKinley, Hayes, and Hard- ing,” and, as Mr. Burton of Ohio be- gins to quote from Shakespeare a verse mutilated with the name of Gar- field, the. hearer is struck with the realization that this is even more of an “Ohio” convention than he had thought had been anticipated. There has indeed been no change of dynasty. alized” in the Ohio crowd. Utters Petroleum Philosophy. The chairman is now uttering the petroleum philosophy of the school. He is claiming credit for the Grand Old Party for the fact that the war stopped. He is now uttering the tariff philosophy that was born with the republican party and estab- lished by the American Civil War. “A tariff act was passed ... . which has amply justified itself, for | the customs receipts in the year 1923, amounting to the nnprecedented sum of $562,000,000, exceed those from any democrstic tariff ever written by more than $200,000,000.” With a few quick and evasive words glossing over the Veterans’ Bureau PEELE TLE AL TESS Coolidge has been “natur- | Ohio | Harry Daugherty, convention instead of Burton if OHIO WORKERS LAUNCH FARMER- LABOR PARTY.

All of the most reactionary policies for whieh the Coolidge administration is a by-word, were adroitly mentioned by Burton—with the strange omission of the “open-shop” policy, which was left to the memory of the adminis- tration’s acts. The immigration pol- icy of finger-printing-was endorsed with a sugary description: “The so- called melting pot bas boiled over. Therefore, limitation and _ selection must be the order of the day.” The Coolidge view of the Japanese exclu- sion affair was stated. The temporary cbairman’s speech informs us that the republican party is the best friend that the farmer has, “but it can not respend to impractic- able theories or accept measures which will only aggravate the situa- tion.” Mr. Burton’s remedy appears to be for the farmers to quit raising so much wheat, Beyond that “the in- evitable laws of supply and demand” and the construction of a Great Lakes- (Continued on Page 2.)
