ROUMANIA FAILS TO PIT NATIONS AGAINST RUSSIA Attempt to >a Dispute on Bessarabia Falls Flat MOSCOW.—(By Mail.)—The Vien- na correspondent of the Rosta news agency reports that, after a certain lull, the so-called Bessarabian ques- tion is again in the center of the po- litical igterests of Roumania. The Roumanian government is carrying on energetic propaganda in foreign coun- tries in an effort to induce Italy and Japan to ratify the Bessarabian pro- tocol (by which the powers recognized the Roumanian annexation of Bess- arabia). However, a considerable part of the press is rather indiffefent to this is- ‘sue, with the exception, naturally, of some chauvinistic organs that pretend to believe that the present moment is an opportune one forthe realization of Roumania’s ambitious’ plans. The more reasonable and the moderate papers are beginning to yeer round and counsels of reason are ever more frequently heard from their columns. These papers point out that not only is it highly improbable that Italy and Japan would be prone to spoil their relations of friendliness with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by an action quite unnecessary from the viewpoint of their own interests, but that the further insistence of Roumania on this point may well bring discredit on her own govern- ment.

ROBBER LEAGUE ° OPENS CONGRESS AGAINST LABOR Try to Pacily Workers with Statistics Barrage GENEVA, May 19.—The ‘seventh annual international convention of the international labor bureau of the league of nations, formed by the cap- italist governments to bring interna- tional pressure against the workers who demand a higher standard of living, opened here with Edward Benes, foreign minister of the Czecho- Slovakian government, as the elected president. The labor bureau was first formed “to establish laws tending to harm- onize labor and capital.” It was esta- blished at the close of the war in an effort to stem the tide of revolution which began to sweep over the work- ers of Europe at that time. The bureau has nothing to its credit but a mass of voluminous reports on labor conditions in various countries, which are merely a compilation of statistics already gathered in those countries. Forty governments of the 45 belong- ing to the league of nations have sent delegates. Great Britain has sent 265 delegates, and the Japanese govern- ment eleven. Argentina has seven The United States government is not represented. A Little Example of What Marx Meant by Capitalist Robbery MONTREAL, May 19.—The flour milling industry of Canada has vastly increased production while relatively reducing employment. The gross value of the product of Canada’s flour mills is nearly five times greater than 45 years ago; but only 500 or 600 more persons are directly employed now. In 1922, 6,757 employes turned out a gross value of $166,881,000. The gross~value per employe was over $25,000; the net value was $4,500. Salaried workers received in 1922 an average of $1,700, wage workers just under $1,000. If the employes spent all their earn- ings on flour they could buy back at mill prices about 4% per cent of the gross product, and 25 per cent of the net product. Yow! Picnic June 14.
