R., Feb. 17.—(By Mail—The sessions of the enlarged executive of the Communist Interna- tional opened this evening In the An- dreievsky Hall of the Kremlin. Since the last sessions this hall has been completely re-built and renovated so that the Czarist Crown Hall has now been turned’ into a monumental Con- gress Hall. The seats of the dele- gates and also those for the specta- tors are crammed full, just as at a world congress. The numerous dele- gations from the Orient are particu- larly striking: The first session was opened by Comrade Zinoviey in the name of the presidium. He first of all paid a tribute to our dead Comrade, Mikhail Frunze, one of the bravest and best leatiers of the Russian revolution and | of the Communist International, dur-| ing which the delegates and the spec- tators stood in silence. Zinoviev then continued: Difficult Year. “The year which has passed since the last session of the enlarged execu- tive was a difficult one for many sec- (Continued on page 3) SENATORS MAKE PLANS 10 GRAB INDIAN LANDS Oil Lobby- Paves Way .

Altho not yet ready to make public the name of the firm in question, the settlement committee stated that one of the members of the association came to the union office, informed them that he had been present at all conferences of the association so far and was a dues paying member, but had decided to part with them be- cause of their attitude in the présent strike. He signed the union’s agree- ment. There were also six trimming manu- facturers who signed agreements with the Union; 15 agreements are pending and will probaly be signed tomorrow; and over 100 applications are waiting the ‘investigation of the settlement committee’s corps of investigators.

The investigators declare that the profiteering is not confined to the cellar dealer and the peddier but that the large retailers have raked in huge profits during the anthra- cite strike.

Demand New Elections, New elections are being demanded by the Communists as they want the opportunity to challenge the bour- gepis parties on the imperialist fright- fulness in Syria and Morocco and they believe that an election campaign at this time will enable them to reach | the masses of French workers and peasants with the message of revyo- lution as the only way out of the present crisis. Even some of the leaders of the other parties are now demanding thé dissolution of the chamber of depu- ties and the calling of new elections. Rumor is rife that a new cabinet may be attempted with Joseph Cail laux, former finance minister, as pre- mier, and Raymond Poincaire, former bloc nationale premier, as foreign minister, leaving Briand» out of the Picture all together. Other opinions contend that any. cabinet that is created will have Briand as foreign minister.

Even the-most ardent sup- porters of the league and the “spirit of Locarno” are pessimistic and frankly admit that instead of a league of nations it is nothing more than an arena in which new alliances are being formed, in which individual nations and groups of nations scheme to gain advantages over other nations. The special session of the assembly was called for the pur- pose of admitting Germany into the council of the league of nations on the basis of the Locarno pacts signed at London last December 1.

Kellogg admits that the religious teachers driven from Mexico come un- der the clause in the national consti- tution forbidding an ordained minister of any creed to teach in a primary school, He claimg that no formal pro- tests have been made. Ask Kellogg for the Facts, The Norris resolution, calling upon the state department to furnish the senate with the official correspond- ence between the American and Mex- ican governments, was passed upon the recommendation of Senator Borah who declared that the situation was not at all alarming. Senator King, of Utah, wanted a stronger resolution. He declared that he would introduce one requiring the publication of all *| correspondence upon all subjects be- tween the two governments, King Would Stir Things Up. King, who is one of the worst re- actionaries in the senate, wants the matter published because he thinks it will tend to inflame opinion against | the Mexicans.
