te Saturday, June 28, 1924 TURKEY CLOSES MISSION SCHOOLS DESPITE PROTEST France, Italy, America Join Outcry (Special to The Dally Worker) MOSCOW, June 27.—Following the closing down of the French Catholic Mission schools in Turkey, the Turk- ish Government has closed the Italian religious schools at Constantinople, as well as two American schools of high learning, the explanation given in the respective order being that the high education is a state monopoly. The Italian legation has lodged a protest. The Americans have applied for a stay of execution: of the order, ex- ressing their willingness to subject @ he American schools to the Turkish laws. As for the request of the Vati- 4 can to re-open the French missionary schools, the Turkish Government has . declined to entertainthis idea. The Angora correspondent of the Rosta News Agency reports that, con- trary to former statements to the ef- fect that the closing down of French schools was but an insignificant in- cident, the French Government has lodged a protest with Angora, urging that this act conflicts with the Lausan- nes Treaty and the Angora Agree- ment. The French President stated in a press interview, that the irrecon- cilable attitude of the Turkish Gov- ernment may have an evil effect on Franco-Turkish relations, as, not- withstanding all the warnings and an official note, Turkey insists on hav- ing her own way. However, all the Turkish press, in- ‘eluding the semi-Official papers, de- clare that the granting of privileges to French schools.in Turkey savours too much of the capitulations system. The press stresses that the closing down of these schools does not at all contradict the Treaty. Mitchell, instructors at the Harvard School, who were arrested and “gold- fished” in conection with the murder of Robert Franks and later released, have quit their connection with the school, it was announced yesterday. Walter: Wilson had previously said that he was very much afraid because he had made charges against Mike _.Grady and his. detective bureau squad for having beaten him. Wilson said that he was afraid to press the charges because he thought that he might go out some night and never return.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, Convention Hall, New York, June 27. —It was again a day of the dead at the Democratic convention. If Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson were available, they would win the nomination in a walkover. Not even the fastest or blackest steed would stand a chance against this quartet of dead heroes. Even Jess Smith was recalled from Hades to lend a background of realism to the invocation of the spir- its and to bring us up to date. Temporary Chairman Harrison’s flowery oratory was of no avail to him in getting the hothouse in order. There was much less enthusiasm and spirit amongst the delegates today than the little displayed yesterday. Bankers Join Prayers. The Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee got right on the job and showered his daily dozen of blessings upon the heat oppressed delegates and galleries. “Save us from every evil way,” was the keynote of the heavenly address. On the platform well-fed bankers joined in the prayer for forgiveness. Their appeals to Jesus were at times audible enough to give one the impression that God and Mammon had openly established a united front to save the Democratic party from evil spirits and sinister influences in the coming electi: Play for Woman Vote. Mrs, Leroy Spring of South Caro- lina made the report of the creden- tials committee. It was unanimously adopted. The play for the women’ 's votes that the democratic machine is making was rather crudely evident when the tem- porary chairman made a plea for the unanimous consent of the convention in behalf of Miss May Kennedy of the Bronx, New York, being made perma- nent vice-chairman. He excused this procedure on the plea of his not hav- ing had a chance to see all his col- leagues on the committee for action on his choice. Harrison's request was could be scented in every whirl of the wheels of the smooth running ma- chinery of the convention. But it required quite some effort to stir up for Walsh even as much en- thusiasm as the announcement of Harrison for temporary chairman, evoked yesterday. The delegates seem to have lost their wind. The well-kept cliques seem to lack energy. Goading is necessary to get them into action and applause. “A real democrat and the greatest investigator in the history of the country,” shouted Harrison as the chosen: committee escorted Walsh to the platform. After some delay the THE DAILY WORKER California—the oil king Doheny’s own satrapy—made a desperate effort to limp along in the march. Wyoming, sacred home of the Teapot Dome, pushed the Californians into line. All in all, the ,parade betrayed weeks of preparation, which was ap- parently inadequate. Walsh Invokes the Dead. When Senator Walsh mounted the rostrum, he followed in the footsteps of the temporary chairman, his col- league, Senator Harrison, right after the dead. In mingling his apprecia- tion of the dead leaders of the Demo- cratic party with words of concern for the masses of the country, Senator Walsh exerted himself with visible and strained excess in such words: “The nation expects you, yea de- mands of us, a leader who exemplifies the principles of government associ- ated with Thomas Jefferson, a leader whose heart is attuned to the pulsa- tions of those who labor on the farm and in the field, in the mills and work- shops, at the forge and in the mines, at the desk and in the household, who heeds the cry of all the people for a larger life, rather than the plea of the few, the favorites of fortune, who are eager to exploit their fellows.” The permanent chairman then de- veloped a trotting pace in his speech, Veiled praise of Wilson, the nailing of Hanna’s and Aldrich’s hides to their coffin covers, a bitter denunciation of Forbes, Fall, Daugherty, Felder, Mannington and Means, followed in quick succession. ,A plea to return to the 14-point ideals of Wilson, was the occasion for another demonstration. This time the marchers displayed better discipline. To the ancient martial tune of “Over There! Over There! the Yanks Are Coming,” Georgia, the Canal Zone, Kansas and Oklahoma fell in line for another hike around the Garden. Then someone in the galleries let loose a white dove. The innocent bird was rushed out as a symbol of the Wil- sonian peace, as the personification of the peacemaker; who helped pre- pare the vicious Versailles treaty. Hits Coolidge. Walsh was really democratic in son yesterday. Coolidge was charged with having shielded delinquents “From the public odium which their derelictions have subjected them by joining in the hue against the investi- gations. His message on the subject had for its plain purpose the suppres- sion of an inquiry into the official conduct of a member of his cabinet.” The time. dishonored, democratic tariff buncombe was offered as the remedy to end the agricultural crisis, in which 40 per cent of all farmers in South Dakota, 42 per cent in Colo- rado, 62 per cent in Montana, 51 per cent in Wyoming, and 25 per cent in |behind him and all around him that} Money Makes the Donkey Go - the =<? and his secretary of the treasury. “They encouraged, pro- moted and actively aided in the in- vestigation of the executive depart- ment in conjunction with the demo- cratic members and co-operated with them in securing appropriate action touching the revelations made by the various committees. They revolted against the choice of the majority of their party for the chairmanship of one of the leading committees of the senate and elevated a Democratic member to that place.” Little Love for League. In harping on the further differ- ences rending the republican party such as the lack of a uniform atti- tude toward the world court and the friction between Butler and Slemp over campaign management, Walsh let the delegates look thru/a key- hole, as it were, on the League of Na- tions plank of the democratic plat- form, He declared: “It is not neces- sary that we immediately join the league as it is that we abandon fool- ish antagonism to any world move- ment.” The address was closed with a for- mal plea for the return to the poli- cies of Wilson in the name of the honor and the OMIET GY of the coun- try. j sie a Police Offer Free Air. New York Police Commissioner Enright then rattled more skeletons and came to the rescue of the ex- hausted audience with an invitation to enjoy a thoro airing by taking a} buss ride to the’grave of Samuel J. Tilden, a dead democratic leader who was once president. 4 Motions on the organization of the national committee, the adoption of the rules of the convention with the two-third provision intact, and a vote of commendation for the keynote speech delivered by “the brilliant mil- itant Mississippian,” were quickly| adopted. Fireworks Begin. Now it was time for the fireworks to begin. Victor H. Hanson of Bir- mingham, Ala., was the first to go to bat. His speech for Underwood was faint applause punctuated the address.

(Continued from page 1.) the republican party today is as the democratic convention keynoter said: “Merely an organization for corrupt purposes” and that the democratic party is what the republicans call it. Storey Attacks Democrats. Storey attacked the democratic con- vention with withering scorn, saying that it is “divided on whether to say the Ku Klux Klan is a bad organiza- tion” and that klan members actually form a large part of the convention. The old white-haired Lincolnite roused the convention to demonstra- tion by exclaiming “Let's put Cool- idge to the test by demanding that he put an end to the segregation of ne- groes.” Thus the tendency to assert the negroes’ independence of both dominant parties increased with each hour altho thruout is the fatal weak- ness of failure to recognize the ne- groes’ economic class status and his common interest with the working class and farmers.

The repub- lican congres#man won a storm of ap- planuse by shouting to his Negro au- dience, “You ought to get over the idea that you owe a debt of gratitude to a certain political party because you were freed from slavery.” Mr. Dyer carried his speech to crescendo by declaring that the confirmation of the appointment of the negro, Cohen ot New Orleans, was “not the work of a republican, but of a Farmer-La- borite of Minnesota” and that “Some of the most cowardly men on earth are republican senators.” His au- dience carrying him along, Mr. Dyer went further/denouncing the republi- can senator Pepper for ignoring the rights of Negroes, two-thirds of whom re denjed all political rights. iss Organization Problem.
