GERMAN ENTRY INTO LEAGUE WORRIES FRANCE Foresee Reopening of Disputed Questions (Special to The Daily Worker) PARIS, Feb. 19—French politicians are realizing uneasily that Germany’s admission into the leagué of nations, formally to take place in March, will bring up for reconsideration a number of problems in which France is vitally interested. The Germans are certain to demand a further reduction of the forces of occupation in the Rhineland, a new Status for the region of the Saar, a revision of the present frontiers in Upper Silesia and Danzig, the aboli- tion of armament control, Austrian union with the Reich and better treat- ment for German minorities in the annexed territories. In connection with the last point, Germany’s patronage of Austria and of the cause of the German-speaking elements in the Tyrol are arousing apprehensions that she is also back- ing the movement in Alsace for auto- nomy. Provisions in the regulations of the league of nations would allow the reo- pening of many of these questions. Article 8 is susceptible to an inter- pretation calling for the reduction of armaments to Germany’s level. Article 19 enables the reconsideration of treaties. Article 80 may permit of an Austrian union. How seriously France takes the situation is seen in the replacement of Leon Bourgeois by Aristide Briand as delegate to the league council. Workers Pay for Steel Trust Pensions (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Feb. 19—Pension pay- ments to retired employes of the Unit- ed States Steel corporation and its subsidiaries from the fund established jointly by it and Andrew Carnegie reached the total of $2,068,652.83 dur- ing the year 1925, according to an announcement by C. L. Close, man- ager of the bureau of safety, sanita- tion and welfare. The number of employes on the pen- sion roll at the end of 1925 was 5,084, representing a total increase during the year of 606. The average period of this service was 31.85 years and the average monthly pension $43.20. After having slaved for the trust over thirty years, the retired worker gets the mu- nificent sum of less than $50 a month on which to maintain himself and his family if married. Close claims hypocritically that “no contributions are required from the employes”—in other words that these pensions are bestowed out of its good- ness of heart. As the fund from which the payments are made consists of the income from stock of the trust, it is evident however, that the present em- ployes are in fact paying for the al- lowances, “The trade unions remain and will remain for a long time a preparatory school for the training of the prole- tariat.”—Lenin.

CHARGE GERMAN LEADERS FORGED FRENCH NOTES Implicate Nationalists in European Plot BUDAPEST, Feb. 19 — Testimony involving General Von Ludendorf, General Von Seeckt, head of the Ger- man re{chswehr, Hitlerites, and other prominent Germans in the conspiracy to flood France with forged franc bills was given today by M. Raba, pri- vate secretary of Prince Windisch Gractz. Rabe testified voluntarily before an eXamining judge. Raba charged that the franc forg- eries were only part of an extensive German campaign which aimed to flood all central European countries with forged currency, This latest de- velopment of the Hungarian banknote scandal is bound to have serious in- ternational effects, particularly in view of the enormous depreciation of the franc. Incidentally, it reveals that the fascist groups and the ex- treme nationalist reactionaries of all countries are ready to resort to the most extreme measures to overthrow their political enemies. San Pedro Merchants Object to Peteet Probe Special to The Daily Worker) SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb, 19—A new sensation has been created in the Peteet “shame suicide” case by the action of the chamber of commerce of San Ysidro, an American town op- oposite Tia Juana, in wiring Secretary of State Kellogg, placing all blame for the attacks and resulting suicides upon the family itself. A mass meeting will be held Thurs- day night to voice the indignation of citizens’ at this transparent attempt to protect the vice interests of the Mexican town. Resolutions demand- ing that the international border be closed at 5 p. m. daily to prevent Americans visiting Tia Juana at night and urging a vigorous prosecution of the assailants of the girls’ will be presented to the gathering. Vice O. K. If Profitable, It is openly charged that the reason for the telegram by the San Ysidro chamber of commerce is the com- mercial dependence of that town upon its Mexican neighbor. Of course, on the other hand, none of these same ministers and other prominent leaders who so severely condemn Tia Juana would lift a hand to get to the root cause of the commercialized vice of this city itself. / Americans and Narcotics.

Phone Lincoln 3141 THE DAILY WORKER CHINESE STATE CHRISTIANS ARE FOREIGN TOOLS Declare Religion’s Dope Is National Obstacle (Special to The Daily Worker) CANTON, Feb. 1 —(By Mail)—The anti-Christian movement has received @ great impetus thru the action of the executive committge of the anti- christian league at their recent ses- sion here in organizing for a real struggle against the influence of the missionaries. The committee met in the assembly hall of Kwantung Uni- versity. A board of directors, secre- tariat, organization director, investi- gators, finance, publication, and propa- ganda committees, were selected to carry on the work. Resolutions were passed demanding that all schools be placed under Chinese government con- trol and that the activities of mis- sionary educational institutions be strictly limited. The close connection between the “christianizing of China” and its im- perialistic oppression is indicated by the declaration of the league, Declaration of Anti-Christian League. “The present calamity and civil wars of our country is the result of imperialist aggression towards China. Because we wish to emancipate our- selves from the imperialist yoke, we therefore are organizing a great anti- imperialist movement, Imperialist schemes for invading China are very aggressive and their ways of encroach- ing upon China are many. The im- perialists not only use military power, protocols, goods and methods in col- lusion with the militarists in order to seize the reins of our political and economical power, but also they use “servile education” and religion to influence our minds so as to make our Chinese, passive to the imperi- alists, “The ‘imperialist plans for attack- ing us are varied, and our ways for defending ourselves are also different. The aim of our anti-christian move- ment is to fight the imperialist or- gans, the churches-and their methods of spreading “servile education.” As the anti-christian movement is a movement against imperialism and for China’s emancipation, the princi- ple of the founding of our Kwantung anti-christian league is to help to ac- complish the work of China’s apti- imperialist movement, “Christianity and the other religions are obstacles in the progress of our ideals and minds. Then why should we protest against christianity alone? We won't protest against it if present- day christianity is Christ's christiani- ty. We are against it simply because present-day christianity is a tool of the imperialists.. The imperialists use churches and missionary schools to manufacture Chinese slaves whose ideals and minds are naturally, in- fluenced by imperialism. The result of this is that they produce Chinese who are pro-imperialists. By effecting this, the imperialist will use these slaves so as to hinder our anti-im- perialist movement. “For thig reason, the aim and duty of our anti-christian league is to frustrate the secret plots of the im- perialists, who are destroying China’s national movement, and their impe- rialistic powers in China, in order to strengthen, the force of our masses. Because Chinese christians are ip fluenced by the imperialists, are mere tools—they support their interest and work for the advantage of the impe- rialists in China, so our league be- cause it is anti-imperialist has to be at the same time anti-christian. “But if the Chinese christians would prove to us that they are real Chi- nese, supporting China and fighting against imperialists, our league would desist front protesting against them. We should be very glad to cooperate with them to carry out the aims of the anti-imperialist movement. “Our league is an organization of the Kwantung masses. We can no longer suffer the oppression of the imperialists and therefore we imme- diately plan to free ourselves from the imperialists bondage by holding an anti-christian movement as well as an anti-imperialist one. We masses should first unite ourselves in order to have a stronger and greater force and be ready to fight against christi- anity, the tool of imperialism. Let us acclaim the following watchwords: Down with the “servile education” of the imperialists, Recover our educational rights, Support the anti-impertalist stu- dents of the missionary schools, Down with the churches which are imperialistic tools, Down with imperialism, Long live the unification of China's revolutionary movement, . Long live the emancipation of Chin; Long live the anti-imperialist league. Genova Restaurant ITALIAN-AMERICAN 1238 Madison Street N. E.

After a day’s' strike, the Jane Ray Dress company, a nonunion jobber, who gives work to 35 contractors, was forced to submit to the union’s de- mands that all of its contractors be unionized, ‘> This week sftikes have been called against two’ fafge jobbers, who are members of ‘fe Wholesale Jobbers’ Association; the International Dress company who?utilizes 25 contractors and the Style, Garment company who gives work to over 90 contractors, The Jobbers; Association demanded that the workers covered by the two above named jobbers go back to work before they would negotiate with the union. The union met this demand with the counter-demand that the contractors myst be unionized before the workers return. Bosses Made to Submit. This tense situation was added to by the Jobbers’ Association sending an ultimatum to the union that if by Tuesday evenigg, five o'clock, the workers were not back, their agree- ment with theéunion would be can- celled. The union refused to con- sider this demand and later in the evening the representatives of the Association capitulated to the union, the workers returning to the contractors’ shops which will be unionized, The Dress Contractors’ Association, which consists of 700 contractors, de- manded that the union give them 24 hours’ notice before it calls a strike in any of the shops which belong to its association. The union refused and relations between the association and the union ‘have been broken off.

WEST FRANKFORT, II., Feb, 19— A very successful mass meeting was held here Sunday evening in the Ma- jJestic theater under the auspices of the International Labor Defense. The chief speakers were Henry Corbish- ley, one of the eight Zeigler miners convicted of an assault on D. B. Cobb, and Mother Bloor, field organizer for the International Labor Defense. In spite of a heavy downpour of rain over 400 people attended the meet- ing. A great deal of literature dealing with the Zeigler case was sold, a col lection of $30.80 for the defense fund taken up, and ten new members for the I. L, D. secured.

Opposition has been go effective in the country at large, and notably in the labor movement, that he has dropped the word “registration,” and taken up “en- rollment.” The word means the same as the old—a system of sflent terror- ization of the alien as to his political, industrial and social thinking and expression, Any federal judge or other “enrollment” official who may not like the way the alien is facing industrial problems may decide to block his se- curing citizenship, aceording to the labor spokesmen who have, since 1921, protested against the idea. Davis does not admit that he is trying to establish an industrial pass- port system for the big employers. He declares he wants to stimulate the alien to become Americanized. Also, he says he wants to secure proofs on which he can deport great numbers of aliens who are illegally in this country, Sailors from foreign ships, especially, he asserts, are becoming a problem because they desert their jobs in American ports and do not ship out again within the 60 days re- quired by law. “Enrollment,” says Davis in Ford's magazine, “would diminish the effect of propaganda by irresponsible agents of anarchism, Communism and the like, because the foreign-born would better understand American principles (after being officially directed to Ame- vieanization agencies) and would realize the folly of red radical doc- trines. At the same time it would reveal the existence of these sinister influences and aid us in our endeavor to rid the country of foreign-born agitators of that character.” You do the job twice as well— THE MENACE OF OPPORTUNISM.
