Prior to that he reorganized the finances of Chile, Columbia, Guatemala, Philippines and other colonial and semi-colonial countries. It is but logical that he should have also participated in drafting the Dawes plan for Ger- many. , The secret of the “financial reor- ganization,” mapped out by this agent of American imperialism is rather gimple. Balance the budget, stabilize your currency on a gold basis amohg others (to give an out- flow to the gold surplus of the U. S.), bind your exchange preferably to the dollar, accept the control of your financial (political as well) af- fairs by special (American) “finan- cial advisers,” and you may expect a flow of American dollars “to build up the country” and incidentally also hordes of American promoters and speculators to “get the gravy.” * * T is a somewhat remarkable coin- cidence that just at present these are the fascist and reactionary coun- tries that are on the list for getting American dough. Next to Poland that is right now busy suppressing Econom * her agrarian unrest by breaking up| peasant organizations and jailing their leaders in spite of their sup- posed parliamentarian immunity, it is Italy that is to get more than $100,000,000 in various municipal and industrial loans. Then comes Brazil and Peru, both countries whose gov- ernments excel in suppressing their labor movements and maintain them- selves by sheer use of forte. The role of American finance in safe- guarding “democracy” by keeping in the saddle the most abominable sup- pressors of the popular masses is daily becoming more grateful. (“China Today;” Topic! At the Workers’ School Forum Sunday Night) Samuel Sha, of the “Chinese/ Workers Alliance,” will lecture at) the Workgs School Forum, 108 East) 14th Street, this Sunday night (April 10), on the interesting problem} which has been* so much discussed in the press of the entire world dur- ing the past week, namely, the prob- lem of The Inner Situation of the Kuomintang Party of China. The relationship between Communists and non-Communists, between workers, peasants, students, merchants, mahu- facturers and all the other complica- ted class problems which constitute the inner politics of the Kuomin- tang, will be taken up as well as the relationship between the political Bureau of the Kuomintang and the military staff of the People’s Na- tional Army. The General title, of Mr. Sha’s lecture is “What is Iap- pening in China?” His lecture will be followed next Sunday night, April 17, by a lecture by Jay Lovestone, Acting General Secretary of the Workers (Com- munist) Party, on “America and the Next War,” and on Sunday, April |24, Joseph Freeman, _ proletarian| | journalist, who is returning from Ruégsia on April 15, will lecture on ‘Russia in 1927.” Workers Party Membership Meeting.

The rule to go by is to use the biggest possible type for rumors, allegations, indications, maybes, and other matter that is obviously fake. Unless set big such material will be overlooked. It is therefore the duty of editors and linotypers to make it big, bold and impressive. The subsequent de- nials or corrections should be set in agate. The original story has by that time been forgotten anyhow; or else it has been repeated so often that a correction does no good any- how. In either case there is no use wasting space and lead, so set small. A few samples will illustrate the general technique and should be useful to the linotypers, even if one of them (the one who sets this column) calls us names for giving him a lot of trouble. 18 WASHINGTON, March 32.—Incomplete reports from China indicate a murderous attack upon foreigners in Nan- ‘ king in which a vast number of Americans and other foreign- ers perished. No estimate of the dead is available, but there were 150 Americans on the scene and responsible officials in Washington therefore confidently hope for the worst. Well-informed circles believe that women were among those attacked, and judge from their past experience in such things that many have been violated. A report that many women are in the hospitals lends color to this belief. * * SHANGHAI, March 32.—Many foreigners, mostly Amer- icans, were killed and wounded by Chinese ghouls in Nan- king today. American women were attacked and raped. The hospitals are overcrowded with women recuperating from attacks. * IL. SHANGHAI, March 33.—Exact figures on the number of dead and wounded Americans in yesterday’s massacre are not yet available. Naval statisticians have been busy all day making calculations. IL. NANKING, March 39.—One American was killed in the Nanking shooting, and another sprained an ankle climbing over a fence. Two American women have been in the hospital since January. They are tubercular patients. . A Christian Science Martyr Who Demonstrated Healing by Faith Though He Went Delirious and Died in the Attempt.—An obituary to Her- bert B. Hanger, manufacturer of artificial limbs in Washington, D. C., ap- pearing in “The Scalpel,” a medical trade journal, gives the following graphic account of a heroic demise: “On the Monday following Christmas he was taken violently ill during the afternoon with what appeared to be ptomaine poison- ing: He was an ardent Christian Scientist, and from the beginning to the end he never faltered one iota in his belief that he would be restored. His faith was absolute. He was delirious at times, and at other times his sight, speech, and hearing were affected; but at all times when his mind was clear he refused all offers of medical aid and treatment. His character and determination of purpose were such that he would never entertain the thought of compromise. He lived and died in the faith he had chosen. Not a word of complaint nor the semblance of a sigh passed over his lips, even during the several periods when he must have realized that he was passing through the shadow of the valley. At other times, he stoically and without complaint went through extended though futile periods of the most intense suffering. IT WAS A MOST COMPLETE DEMONSTRATION OF THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FAITH. He passed away on Wednesday, January 26th, at 7 o’clock in the evening.” The Triumph of Philosophy; For This Plato, Spinoza, Kant et el Lived and Labored—The New York Telegram, famous for its philosophical outlook on life, announces in huge letters that Will Durant, who put a thrill in philosophy, will cover the Snyder murder trial. And its equally highbrow competitor, the tabloid Daily Mirror, is running a comic strip version of Dr. Durant’s “Story of Philosophy.” Imperialist Etiquette —After all the foreigners in Peking aren’t as hard on the Chinese as people thought. Immunity from Chinese laws for the foreign embassies is one of the extra-territorial privileges that Great Britain, America and the rest hate to give up. But when it came to a test they relaxed. They gave permission to Chang Tso-lin’s soldiers to raid the Soviet embassy, seize books and papers and arrest the personnel. FROM A GALLERY OF FUTILITIES— 4. Courage and Convictions. Bill is not among those who lack the courage of their convictions. Quite the contrary. He is simply bursting with courage. He would like to go out and smash things to hell.’ He wants to mount platforms and denounce something or somebody as they never have been denounced before. His eyes flash fire, and his gestures are fearless. But he is unhappy. He, alas! suffers from the reverse complaint. He lacks convictions to match hos courage. .. .

Maybe at last, he thinks, he will find something to fight for. But no... before he has so much as girded his loins to do battle, his faith ebbs and he finds himself high and dry looking for something else. He’s tried nearly every- thing, with the same result. Bill, of course, likes to call himself a cynic. ibs Another Way To Be Comfortably Dead.—To the samples o luxury and ease possible for well-to-do corpses which we printed not so long ago, please add a third.

He was picked for the job, obviously, be- cause he was formerly Secretary of War. A Very Appropriate Choice —“U, S. MAY SEND TROOPS TO CHINA BY DOLLAR LINE,” a Herald-Tribune headline informs us.
