t MITCHELL WILL GETNO CHANCE TOSPILL BEANS Precautions Taken Against Expose (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, D. C.,. Oct, 22-— Secretary of War Davis has notified Col. Mitchell, critic of the war and navy departments’ management of the air service, to appear on Oct. 28 be- fore a military courtmartial for “con- duct prejudicial to good order and military discipline.” Col. Mitchell had charged the war department with ‘criminal inefficiency in the management of the air service and had hoped that he would be cited for insubordination. Fears Exposure. The war department, fearing that Mitchell might prove something that would make some of the affairs in the war department take on the odor of Teapot Dome, has cited him with vio- lation of the 96th article of war which is a blanket charge made to cover any incident such as the “disorderly con- duct charge” used by the police to arrest any whom the policeman de- sires to without any real evidence against the arrested party. Testimony “Irrelevant.” Any effort on the part of Mitchell to prove his charges will result in the testimony being called “irrelevant” and thus stricken from the record. Court to Make Example. The court is composed of 12 general officers and 1 colonel, whose duty is to make an example of Mitchell. The trial will occhpy bnt little time, as the charges are drawn, the personnel of the court picked and the attitude of the officers and the war depart- ment set. His “conduct” will un- doubtedly be punished by a severe reprimand by the war secretary and dismissal from the service, ; Scientist _ Claims Civilization Dates Back 25,000 Years Man had a civilization some 25,000 years ago, according to Dr. George L. Colli, curator of the Logan Museum of Beloit College and professor of an- thropology, who has returned ‘from his study of the early. Magdalenian peo- Dles, in southern France. Early Civilization: “Not only did the Magdalenians have @ civilization, but there is every reason to’ believe that it cattle to them from the west—probably’ ffom the now submerged Atlantis;” said Dr. Collie. “The Magdalenians were highest of the Cro-Magnons, and they are one of the few peoples of ‘whom we find traces in. France,” said Dr. Colli. “Their caves run back into the cliffs for more than a mile, and the walls are adorned with numerous paintings in colors, most of them depicting the wounding of a huge animal— cave bear, cave hyena, the mammoth, and the reindeer. Page Judge Raulston. “We anthropologists now believe that man originated in Africa, the only continent on which are found the chimpanzee and the gorilla. We are intent on following down what- ever clues are to be found there, and even now, the Logan expedition is on the way to Mount Tamarassent, lofti- est mountain of the Sahara, where dwell the Toureg tribe. They have never been studied, and we hope for success this time because we have a friendly member of the tribe with the expedition.” Wrap your lunch in a copy of ‘the DAILY WORKER and give 4 it (the DAILY WORKER, not the lunch) to your shop-mate.

Banker-General Sets Heart on Air Fleet for Illinois Bosses Major General Milton J. Foreman, commander of the Illinois national guard and commander as well of the Foreman National Bank, has “set his heart”—if such an organ can be ascribed to either a banker and a ma- jor general, on an aerial squadron for the 33rd division, of which he is com mander At the summer camp of the guard held at Camp Grant, Foreman provid ed one of the finest demonstrations of airplane training in connection with infantry and artillery action ever given, so say the banker’s admirers, Among these admirers was one Wil- liam Randolph Hearst, who, tho a democrat (sometimes) and politically at sword’s points with the banker general who is, of course, a republi- can, became so enthused that he gave $1,000 in prizes to the fliers. This all comes out in connection with the convention of the national guard association, which meets today in the armory of the 122nd artillery at the foot of Chicago avenue, with almost every guard officer in the state attending. It is not stated in the an- nouncement what an aerial squadron for the Illinois guard is going to do, or wheteher its planes are to protect the population of Illinois from some unknown invader who has not heard of the great Locarno “peace pact” or if they are to drop bombs on that section of the lower classes who dare. disturb the order of capitalist soci- ety by striking against wage cuts anc, 80 on. Mid-City I. L. D.

The Mid-City Branch held its first meeting Wednesday night at 741 Blue Island avenue. While for some reason many of the 40 members| on the roll did not show up, the branch has ten new members or so and all present were active and in- terested in planning future work. The branch elected two new mem bers on its executive committee to fill vacancies. The executive commit- tee now consists of Fellow Workers, Edenstrom and Henry, and Comrades Castrell and Greenwood, with Com- rade Marguerite Browder as corre- sponding secretary and fellow worker, Gordon as chairman, Each member of the branch was instructed to do his or her best to bring in one new member for the November-December period, each to receive a contribution blank and application card.

GREEK BULGAR QUTBREAK IS AWAR THREAT Balkans Again Flame with War Talk (Special to The Dally Worker) SOFIA, Bulgaria, October 22.—The bestial Zankov government, lackey of French imperalism, now has some- thing else to do besides. murdering in its foul dungeons the flower of the working class of this nation, with one of its border towns, Petrich, in the hands of one detachment of Greek troops and another line advancing on Poroy, for the purpose of occupying it. This move on the part of Greece is in reprisal for the killing of two Greek soldiers, an officer and a sentinel, in an attack Monday night on a Greek frontier post near Demirhissar. An ultimatum from Greece to Bulgaria demanded the payment within 48- hours of 2,000,000 French gold francs ($400.000). The demand also include the punishment of those responsible tor affair and. an official apology. Peace Hope a Miracle The hope of world peace voiced after the Locarno conference thus goes a-glimmering. Scarcely had the echoes of the cheering over the “dawn of peace” died down, that the roar of the guns already sounding in the dist- ance from the colonial wars of the French and Spanish, were drowned with the new outbreak in this part of world. The sincerity of the French and British at Locarno is evidenced by the fact that two nations, one backed by Britain the other by France, are, less than a week after the conclusion of the Locarno éonference, engaged in border warfare. League Called Upon Zankov has already called upon the league of nations council to act in the matter, protesting that the Greeks fired upon his troops first and that they returned the fire in self-defense, Italy may become involved in the situation as there is widespread un- rest in Albania, where the masses are seething with revolt against the bloody fist of Mussolini. Scutari is a hot bed of anti-fascism and Italian troops may insist upon passage thru This may cause serious complications in case ‘Italian troops engage in conflicts with- inthe borders of either nation. Brit- iO} ain is apprehensive and can be relied upon to come to the aid of Greece if necessary. Such action would involve her with both Italy and France. Out of this struggle may start the next Europeon war, just as an upheaval in the Balk- ans heralded the last great war. Woodlawn Property Owners’ Head Quizzed on Church Bombing Fred Helman, 6332 Green street, an organizer for the Woodlawn Property Owners’ association, was quizzed for several hours last night by Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Savage in an effort to fix the blame for the bombing of the Bethesda (Colored) baptist church by some of the “protective” as- sociations formed to terrorize the Ne- groes attempting to reside in this section of the south side. Helman was allowed to go, but he may be questioned again as his testi- mony was by no means satisfactory as to his organization. Russ Trade Mission Visits Agricultural College at Urbana The Russian delegation which is in the United States buying livestock to be used for breeding purposes in So- viet Russia was at the Agricultural College at Urbana where they saw how the American colleges train students in agricultural science. 8.

UNION OFFICIAL SLASHED BY BOSS NOW IN HOSPITAL Harry Winnick, business agent of Retail Clerks’ Union Local No.195, is in the Cook county hospital following an attack with a razor upon him by Meyer Ossey, one of the owners of the Ossey Brothers’ department store, while he was on the picket line in the struck Ossey Bros.’ store, Maxwell ind Halsted Sts. The union had Meyer )ssey arrested “who was later released n $3,000 bail. The employes of the Ossey Bros, store walked out ofter the union repre- sentatives failed to get the heads of the company to sign an agreement with the union. The Ossey Bros,’ store was the only one of the Max- well St. businessmen’s association that refused to sign the old agreement with the union. All of the others sign- ed the agreement granting a mimi- mum wage scale of $40 per week, and $25 minimum to the women for a 54- hour | week. Pickets have been placed at the store carrying banners telling prospec- tive purchasers that the store is un- fair to union labor and that a strike exists, Meyer Ossey, one of the owners of the store, in his desperation seeing that no purchasers were entering his store attacked the business agent with a razor attempting to kill the business agent that notfied the clerks of the failure to make an agreement with the store and called the strike. Rulers Plan War Fearing Rise of the Working Class (Continued from page one) of Greece. These two peoples were considered the biggest ‘patriotic dupes in the Past, and it was easy to arouse their sentiments against each other, when- ever it was felt necessary. Since then times have changed. Twice already has war been averted within the year thanks to the stand of the Communist Party of Greece. One of these; was a war against Turkey and the other a war with Bulgaria; one being urged under the pretext of the exile of the former Greek: patriarch from Turkey, the other for’ the killing of a Greek merchant in Bulgaria. For the determined stand of the Communist Party of Greece in these threatened wars, its members are be- ing persecuted. Many of the comrades face execution, more will be jailed besides those that are in jail today and others Jexiled to small and de- serted islands. But a war there must be, and, no matter who will win it, both govern- ments know that a war is to their best interests. It is the only means that will divert the attention of the workers from their grievances to the “interests of the fatherland” and thus avert the catastrophe which is hang- ing over the heads of both govern- ments. One cannot say to what extent the Greek Communist Party will resist the efforts of the Greek rulers to throw the workers into a war with Bulgaria, The Communist Party of Greece has been outlawed. After the trial of the entire central eexcutive committee that has just been post- poned, and the suppression of all its newspapers, the Greek party is in the same position as its Bulgarian sis- ter party. But the workers and peasants of both countries have been well edu- cated during the*past years of activ- ity of the Communists, and it is cer- tain that the military laws and court- martials will not prevent them taking a definite stand against this new plot- ting of the bourgeoisie. The war is being cooked, but it is not certain that it will be served, eat- en and digested by the Greek and Bulgarian workers. On the contrary, it may be rehashed and forced into she stomachs of the capitalist. and andowing classes of those countries snd thus give them the fatal indiges- ion which will mean their downfall, CHICAGO Y.W.L.

(ITALIAN DEBT MISSION SAILS FOR AMERICA Fascist Braggart Gives Orders to Volpi ROME, Oct. 22.—“Italy intends to face her obligations according to the strictest justice,” declared Count Vol- pi, finance minister, as he left Rome today with the Italian debt mission to the United States, Count Volpi and the Italian mission sail from Naples at two o'clock this afternoon, and all were in an opti- mistic mood as they departed from Rome. “For reasons of propriety and con- venience I cannot forecast the discus- sions at Washington,” Count Volpi said, “Italy adopts an unequivocal atti- tude—that of a debtor, who, though having become indebted for a great common cause, not only does not in- tend to refuse to own her obligations but on the contrary intends to face them according to the strictest just- ice.” Count Volpi’s reference to negotia- tions “upon principles already accept- ed by the United States” was under- stood to refer to President Coolidge’s Promise that debts should be settled upon a basis of the capacity of the debtor to pay. Capacity to pay and the right of each debtor nation to settle its debt to the United States upon an inde- pendent basis—these are the under- lying principles of the Italian debt policy, Count Volpi, finance minister, said, Count "Volpi will sail tomorrow with the Italian debt mission for the United States to negotiate a settlement of Italy’s debt, “Italy, like the United States, enter- ed the world war when the fight was at its climax and when the outcome of the war was most uncertain,” said Count Volpi. “This established a sen- timental bond between the two na- tions. “In the settlement of debts the fun- damental rule is absolute autonomy for each. debtor nation and independ- ent negotiations with each other, “We have studied the general scheme of the previous settlements between the United States and Eng- land and France and Belgium. I can say that the Italian government’ won't deviate much from these lines, }while keeping in mind the different Position of_each debtor dnd its capacity for payment.” , Count Volpi has: made his fihal “ap- pearance yesterday before the cabinet and the italian debt policy was fully discussed. Mussolini Gives Orders The Italian mission will take, with it statistics showing Italy's capacity for payment. It is also understood that Premier Mussolini also insists that Italy shall not pay more annually to the United States than she receives in reparations from Germany, While it is realized that this demand may cause a hitch, inasmuch as the United States debt funding mission has heretofore insisted upon ,keeping the question of debts and Teparations separate, the Italian mission is under orders to stress its point, Ida Rothstein Speaks in Cleveland for the Needle Trades T.U.E.L.
