HE revelations of the queen of Roumania are a keen disappoint- ment, if the first article can be taken as an example of what is to follow. Even Elinor Glyn’s advice to the love- lorn manages to stow away a livelier kick. The queen is getting money un- der false pretenses. When the one- time Mrs. Peck, who won for Wood- row Wilson the title of “Peck’s Bad Boy” turned herself loose in the pages of a popular magazine, the babbitry expected a treat. But the gastric juic- es conjured up by visions of a sala- cious. feast, had nothing to digest. Mrs. Peck simply did not deliver the goods, neither did she remove a lively doubt created in the public mind that she had a good story to tell. ......, oe. * ‘T looks as.if our present-day Ma- dame Pompadours are playing the | confidence game in a new and origin- al manner.

But there must be something inside the screen be- sides stern virtue. The queen had better look out. »: ¢ HB Irish Free State government has let the feline out of the sack. While that government has appropri- ated money for famine relief, it still denies that there is a famine. What's the big idea? One of the reasons was given by Patrick McGilligan, Irish minister of commerce, when he told newspaper reporters that stories of Irish famine circulated in America were injuring the tourist trade. Ho- tel owners and resort keepers called on the minister and gave him instruc- tions to counter the famine propagan- da. He did. But at the same time his government appropriated nearly half a million dollars for famine re- lief. This shows how little credence can be placed in the statements of capitalist governments. see Ae palbeoer P.

M. V. FRUNZE. ** (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW.—At the Third All- Russian Congress of the Soviets which just closed its sessions in Moscow, Comrade M. V. Frunze, head of the military forces of the Soviet Union, gave a report on the red army. Answering the accusa- tions of the enemies of the Soviets on the so-called “red imperialism,” he brought up some _ interesting figures and comparisons. For in- stance: For every 10,000 people in the Soviet Union there are 41 soldiers. In Roumania and Poland there are 100 soldiers, and in France (with- out the colonies) 200 soldiers for “every 10,000 of the population. In some of the western European coun- tries the armies are proportionately between three and five times bigger than in the Soviet Union. There are now 552,000 soldiers in the Soviet Union instead of 1,129,- 000 of the pre-war czarist army. The countries of the victors who won the war “to end all wars” have in- creased their armies by 1,183,000 since the war. The upkeep of a soldier in the Soviet Union costs every citizen less than three rubles. In the Baltic states up to seven rubles, in Poland up to 11 rubles and in France up to 14 rubles.
