Another important mine which is re- suming after a year’s idleness is No. 10 of the Illinois Coal Corp, at Nason in Jefferson county.

Farm Relief Program WASHINGTON, Ia., Nov, 17.—In his first statement since his election, )Smith W. Brookhart, republican sena- tor-elect, today declared a special ses- |sion of congress should be forced next | spring for the purpose of passing farm relief legislation. Senator Brookhart intimated a fili- buster at the short term to prevent passage of appropriation bills before the adjournment of congress, March 4, would force the president to call an extra session, “Being opposed to farm legislation, \there is no doubt that the presifent | will call an extra session unless ap- propriation bills are displaced until {after March 4,” Mr. Brookhart said. “The appropriation bills do not need to pass until June. Therefore there is plenty of time at an extra ion to pass a farm bill and then pass the appropriation. bills. “If the farm bill was signed by the president the fight would be won. If it is vetoed, it would be the issue of the national convention. *This is the nly chance for success of the farmer.” Bakers Organize Two Shops.

She felt that she ought to reassure these unsuspecting money bags that she had nothing to do with so sordid thing as a loan, And in doing so, she made it very plain that the opposite was true. “It is quite true that I have come to America’ to put /Roumania on the map” ig the way she stated it. One hundred million dollars would put any country on the map, she might have added. The Personal Touch, They liked this “American” way of putting it, the Gold Coasters of the Union League Club. They liked too, the “personal touch” that Marie threaded thru her speech, “I went to Roumania a child of 17. I was very young and I had to learn my work with considerable struggle. I have given the Roumanians six children who speak Roumanian and are Rou- manian,” she said. “I am here and everywhere to de- fend my country, which is Roumania. It is my life, my work, my love, my children, my all—the very essence of my existence. Remember when you ‘THE DAILY, WORKER ae od Senator Borah Issues Tardy and Very Futile Warning to By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, S HNATOR WILLIAM BH. BORAH, head of the senate foreign rela, tions committee, who urges recogni- tion of the Union of Soviet Repub+ lcs when it is opposed by the Coolidge-Mellon republican admin- istration, has turned his oratorical guns on the situation in China, Borah is like the hippopotamus bird that warns its bulky friend, from which it derives‘its name, of any approaching danger. Bofah warns the imperialist nations inst armed intervention‘{n. China, claiming that “the time has gone by in China when you can shoot down men as they did in July a year ago and sea a nation bow like whipped slaves. We must recognize and deal with them as a great peo- ple. We must deal with them in ab- solute justice.” * The hippopotamus in the jungle responds to the danger -signals sounded on its behalf. Not so world imperialism. Borah’s warning will go unheeded as Japan strengthens its\support of the Manchurian war lord, Chang Tso Lin; as Great Brit+ ain feverishly pushes her war pre- parations for the “Wer in the Paci- fle.” including the spending of $52, 200,000 on the Singapore naval base with its $5,000,000 floating dock, and as the United States develops its own Pacific fortress at Pearl Harbor in the Hawalian Islands, while France entrenches in Indo-China and the lesser capitalist nations pro- tect their imperialist interests as best they can. Not one of these shows any let-up in its desires to loot China to the limit, jointly and separately, All these nations, Borah charges, are fundamentally to blame for the conditions in China. sf ° Senator Borah summarized the situation in China, as he sees it, be- fore the National Council of Jewish Women at Washington, as follows: “More than 40 of her (China’s) important cities and many of her great ports are now under foreign control. belittle Roumania you are treading on the heart of a woman.” This went over b’ Bolshevik tale that wfpt over the big- gest, She has ‘told everywhere.

Not all the testimony that could have been piled up to establish their innocence beyond a question of doubt could have saved them in that court. The trial judge was set and immovable. It was so ordained by the Capitalist powers that be, and it had to come. Aside from the disgustingly farcical nature of the trial which could and should have ended in fifteen minutes in that masterclass court, the refined malice and barbaric cruelty of these Imperialists against both native traitors and for eign impertalists, Senator Borah, joyal to things as they are in the United States, declares pathetically, “I do not wish to be understood as criticizing our own government,” in matters Chi- nese, But Borah must admit that the whip of Wall Street lashes the Chinese as well as the knout*of | other international bankers; that warships and gunboats flying the stars and stripes patrol Chinese waters and aid in the foreign war against China, murdering Chinese workers; that the United States en- | joys extraterritorial rights in com- mon with other invaders, that Amer- | ican investments must have their toll of profits in the Orient, that the American dollar is the aggressor in China as much as the Brittsh pound sterling, the French frac, the Italian lire or the Japanese yen. se 8 At this late date Borah asks, “Will China be~ tantalized into desperate things and then the ap- peal to force?” This would indicate that Borah is quite out of touch with developments in the Orient.
