LATIN-AMERICAN ATTACK ON U.S. AT HAVANA SEEN Coolidge Sends Slickest Diplomats to Congress (Special to DAILY WORKER) WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. — Repre- sentatives of a number of Latin- American countries are expected to protest at the Sixth Pan-American Congress meet in Havana in Janu- ary against the administration’s pol- iey of landing marines in Latin-Amer- ican countries to set up peanut di tators favorable to American busine: interests and to “supervise” elections. Altho the Congress will be well- attended by representatives of pup- pet governments set up directly by the State Department (like the Diaz Government in Nicaragua) or by bus- iness interests '(like the Ibanez dic- tatorship in Chile), information has already reached Washington, thru unofficial sources, that a resolution will be introduced at the Congress “outlawing” any nation that lands forces in any other American coun- try for any purpose whatever. Attack Nicaragua Occupation. Direct attacks will be made on the United States for its occupation of Haiti and Nicaragua it is believed.

Papa’s Dough Gets Doty Out of Legion PARIS, Nov. 4. — That Bennett Doty, of Biloxi, Miss., who was re- cently pardoned by President Doum- ergue for desertion from the French Foreign Legion on the petition of his wealthy father will not have to serve out his enlistment was indicated to- day. A good deal of unofficial pres- sure for his release was also brought to bear on the French government by prominent United States officials. War Minister Painleve stated that the cancellation of Doty’s enlistment had been “settled in principle.” Doty is now with his regiment on service in Syria. He was released from the prison in which he had been confined since his arrest during the American Legion convention here. Rumor Discussion of Italian-Spanish Pact NAPLES, Nov. 4. — Political sig- nificance is being given to the pres- ence here of King Alfonso of Spain, who has come for the marriage of Princess Anne of France, daughter of the Pretender to the throne of the Bourbons, and the Duke of Apulia. Rumors of a revival of discussions of a Mediterranean pact of solidarity between Italy and Spain are current. King Emanuel is expected to arrive late today or tomorrow. JUNKER REPRESENTS GERMANY. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The Ger- man foreign office will be informed by cable tonight that Dr. Friedrich von Prittwitz-Gaffron is acceptable to this government as German am- barsador.

Compared with 1918, the review shows, wages of unskilled workers have increased considerably more than those of skilled workers. In fact German unskiled workers have today a slightly better standard of living than in 1913 while skilled workers are about 7 per cent short of maintaining their prewar purchas- ing power. The increases compared with 1913 are for skilled workers 59.1 per cent, unskilled 56 per cent and cost of living 50 per cent. Gains in Two Years. The average weekly wages of Ger- man skilled and unskilled workers in 1913 and by quarters since January 1924 as reported by the federal statis- tical office were: German weekly wages Skilled Unskilled 1913 8.41 $5.60 1924 Jan. 6.78 5.52 Apr. 7.50 5.61 July 8.51 6.29 Oct. 8.69 6.44 1925 Jan. 9.24 6.89 Apr. - 9.84 1.27 July + 10.45 7.70 Oct. « 10.74 7.92 1926 Jan. 19.95 8.11 Apr. « £095 8.12 July 10.94 8.11 Oct. + 11.03 8.18 1927 Jan. 11.04 8.21 Apr. + 11.43 8.58 DULY. aide aiesees yaya 8.74 Since January 1924 the average weekly wages of German skilled workers have advanced 71.9 per cent while those of the unskilled are up 80.4 per cent. In the fame period the cost of living has increased about 19 per cent. More Wage Earners. The review ##o calls attention to the increase since 1907 in the propor- tion of wage earners to the total population of Germany. The number of wage earners has increased 39 per cent while the population increased only 10.5 per cent. The departmest attributes this increase in the propor- tion of workers to 3 factors. It says: “In the first place the Versailles treaty reduced the personnel of the army and navy to such an extent as to render nearly 400,000 men avail- able for productive employment. Second, a considerable number of peo- ple whose livelihood was derived solely from the proceeds of investments found their holdings wiped out by the currency collapse and had to accept wage earning positions. The third actor is the growing proportion of emale workers.” At least two of these explanations involve a reduction in the parasite classes riding on the backs of German workers. This would probably have made possible a real gain in the st: of the German worker if the peace treaty had not saddled him with new foreign parasites. BRITISH ARMS MERGER.

Try To Discredit Story. The royal family now seeks to dis- credit Greville’s diary by casting doubts on its authenticity but the en- eyclopaedia Brittanica says that his journals “are regarded as a faithful record of the impressions made on the mind of a competent observer, at the time, by the events he witnessed and the persons with whom he associated. Greville did not stoop to collect or record a private scandal. King Displeased. The king is displeased because the government failed to prevent the pub- lication of the diary which places a stain on the moral escutcheon of the Victorian reign. That queen Victoria felt herself in danger of being poisoned by her hus- band is another statement in Greville’s diary that has the palace raging. Crew of Revenue Cutter ‘Forced to Stay Aboard Leaking Ship All Night GLOUCESTER, Mass., Nov. 4.— Battling against heavy gales and giant waves, the coast guard cutter Jouett, a converted navy destroyer with a crew of about ninety men, was pulled from the rocks of Dolliver’s Neck today by a government tug and two coast guard cutters. The cutter went on the rocks dur- ing a furious gale. Answering calls from the siren of the Jouett, the crew of the Dolliver’s Neck life station launched a boat and attempted to reach the cutter but were beaten back by the huge waves. Officers of the Jouett decided to keep the crew during the night aboard the cutter despite the giant waves that pounded against the sides of the vessel, VETERANS RUN INTO DEBT. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The Vet- erans Bureau and the banks of the country are making loans to veterans on their adjusted service certificates, Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau, announced today. Up to Oct. 31, a total of $81,222,- 454 had been loaned to 882,020 vet- erans. Of this amount the bureau loaned $31,770,000 to approximately 353,000 veterans since April 1, an av- erage of $4,500,000 per month, while the banks which have been loaning since Jan. 1, have paid out 40,452,454, | or an average af over $4,945,000 per Pubes to 529,028 individuals. liar Archaeological Discovery That Makes King Tut Look Hollow CAIRO, Nov. 4,--A discover: which today was believed may prove more ‘important than the finding of King Tut-Ahnk-Ahmen’s | tomb has been made by archaeo- logical excavators at Sakkaraz who have unearthed what is thought to be the funeral panoply | of King Zoser, famous Pharaoh of the Ferred dynasty.

The award of the concession comes after a twenty-five year struggle be- tween England, France and Italy for the control of the country. less than a year ago that a secret treaty between Italy and Britain for the virtual partition of the country | was revealed. British interests were especially anxious to irrigate Sudan with water from Lake Tsana. Kellogg In On Deal? That the State Department had} wind of the White contract some time | ago is indicated, it is believed, by the announcement made on September 19th that relations would be estab- lished with Abyssinia and a Charge | d’Affairs would be sent there. The United States has had no diplomatic relations with the country since 1914. A protest against the White agree- ment is expected from France, Italy and Britain. Italy has steadily been encroaching in eastern sections of the country, while France controls the only railroad in the country. SOUL-SAVERS ON RAMPAGE.
