————_————— CHINESE CUSTOMS |*¥ HARD NUT FOR THE BIG FIVE Russo - China Pact Is Precedent (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Oct. 16.—The question of granting tariff rates.on: Chinese imports across inland borders lower than the rates on imports through seaports, which is destined to arise in the coming Peking tariff conference, stirs up great interest in Germany and Russia, Until the Washington conference, Japan through Korea and France through Ifdo-China enjoyed differen- tial rates on exports entering China’s international and other ports. While these ports probably are willing to restore the differential té Russia on account of the long Russo-Chinese border, even greater interest is felt in Germany because of the newly signed economictreaty with Russia. Under this treaty German goods are given the right of transit across Russia and are exempt from customs duties. Thus German goods going to China by way of Russia would pay a@ lower import duty than would the same goods entering Chinese sea- ports, ‘4 Germany and Russia Absent. ‘While neither Germany nor Russia, despite their large interests in China, has been asked to be represented at the tariff conference, they may ben- efit by the desire of France and Japan to, profit from their trade. Information from Japanese sources indicates an intention to demand, first, fhe allocation of any increase in the customs revenue to the payment of China’s unsecured loans, amounting to $217,000,000. Of this total two- thirds ig due to Japan, 13 per cent to France, 11 per cent to Great Britain and 10 per cent to the United States. Hitherto the treaty powers have been divided regarding the equity of these debts. Several of the loans obviously were made for purely military pur- poses and for the benefit of dishonest Chinese officials. Representatives of China which as a nation received no benefit from these loans will surely protest against their legalization. Russia’s Action Aids China China, will be able to cite the exam- ple of Russia in abolishing extraterri- toriality. Observers know that foreign powers have scandalously abused their privileges under this’ treaty provision. One large foreign power, through its consuls, sold European flags to Chi- nese merchants, thus giving them ex- traterrritorial rights. Several smaller countries having extraterritorial rights peddled citizenship to opium smugg- lers, gun runners and criminals, giving them immunity to Chinese laws. One South American country even sold citizenship papers to Chinese desiring to escape the payment of taxes. An- other country extended the privilege of flying its flag over the store of any Chinese merchant who bought an in- surance policy in one of its companies, China is expected to enumerate these cases, and Germany and Russia will support the Chinese by - saying that they themselves are satisfied without extraterritoriality. INVITATION TO THE DAILY RRIERS' JOINT BOARD -SPURNS BANQUET WITH NEW YORK’S DEFUNCT SOCIALISTS NEW YORK, Oct. 16——The joint board of the Furriers’ Union of New York City in answering the invitation of the defunct socialist party of New York to attend a banquet in the interest of boosting the capitalist lackey, Norman Thomas, candidate of the socialist party for mayor of New York City, tells Debs in no uncertain terms that the socialist party has abandoned the class struggle and no longer has the support of the mflitant workers of this eountry and that the union spurn ¢#————_________________ the invitation to dine with them.

Debs: “On this occasion the fur workers recall with pride your revolutnonary past. We remember when you were the soul of the militant movement in the United States. We therefore pro- foundly regret that we cannot join you at the banquet called by the socialist party. The socialist party has aban- doned the class struggle and is there- fore undeserving of the faith of the militant workers. Comrade Debs, the fur workers await the day that you will rejoin the revolutionary ranks, and again fire us with that unflagging enthusiasm that has ever been yours.” Beveridge Likely to Enter Senate as the Successor of Ralston WASHINGTON, Oct. 16—The death of Senator Samuel N. Ralston, demo- erat, of Indiana, paves the way for a possible political comeback by Albert J, Beveridge, former senator, accord- ing to political leaders today. Under Indiana law, Gov. Ed. Jackson will appoint a senator to fill Ralston’s place until the next general election a year hence. Gov. Jackson is a re- publican and is-expected to name a republican, thus incfeasing the repub- lican majority in the next senate. Beveridge was Ralston’s opponent in 1922, and is considered by republican leaders here as having an excellent chance for the appointment, although Gov. Jackson is said to also be favor- able toward Arthur Robinson, an In- dianapolis lawyer, FORD WHO DECLARED “HISTORY IS BUNK" STARTS DANCE GLASS DETROIT, Oct. 16.—Henry Ford, industrial magnate and head of the flivver concern that bears his name, who distinguished himself duting” the course of a libel suit with ‘the observation that ory Is Bunk!” has become a crusader for the re- vival of old fashioned dancing.

This private dick claimed that the inion was responsible for the send- ng of this letter to the scab foreman of the polishing room. The union heads ridiculed the letter and pointed out to the state’s attorney what a bum job of faking a foreign-born worker’s English the fink head had done in his desperate attémpt to cause the arrest of some of the Polish strjkers. The words scab, house and pieces are misspelled with the inten- tion of creating the idea that a per- son not familiar with the English language wrote it. These words would be the least misspelled among the foreign-born workers while words that consist of many syllables that are usually misspelled are spelled cor- rectly, the officials pointed out.
