’ . THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1927 Soviet Information — Hearst ‘Plot’ Yarn WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (FP).— Boris E. Skvirsky, director of the Soviet Union Information Bureau in Washington, has issued to the ‘press a denial of the authenticity, and. of any basis in fact for, the alleged red plot documents published by the Hearst papers. These documents purported to show that. President Calles of Mexico ordered public funds of his government to be paid out for Communist propaganda © purposes. They named the Soviet Union lega- tion in Mexico City. “The attempt to bring the Soviet Union into the sensational Mexican ‘documents’ published in’. certain newspapers is both erude and disin- genous,” said Skvirsky. Recalls European “Plots.” “According to the ‘documents,’ money was to be paid from Mexican government funds to one Pablo Palo- vichi for transmission to ‘Mr. A. B., secretary of the Russian Legation in Mexico.’ There is no secretary with such initials attached to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico.- I have never heard of any Palovichi. “On their face the ‘documents,’ with the accompanying explanatory news story, are wholly ridiculous. They recall the documentary fabri- cations circulated for some years in European capitals by the forger Druzhelovsky, who confessed after his capture in the Soviet Union dur- ing the past year. None of the state- ments in regard to the Soviet Em- bassy in the Mexican ‘documents’ has any basis in fact.” ‘The Belt’ Continues; ‘Centuries’ Will Open Next Tuesday Night After several days of cutting down sets from the size of the New Play- ghts’ Theatre stage to that of the neetown Playhouse, everything now in readiness for the opening at the latter theatre tonight of Paul fton’s play “The Belt,” the direc- a announce.

Smith of New York is picked as | probable winner, by 737 editors and 334 political leaders who answered a questionnaire as to probable nominees | in the presidential race of next year. j This straw poll was taken by Geo. | B. Lockwood of the reactionary Na- | tional Republic, and it applied to re- | publican as well as democratic can- | lidates. Lockwood wants to kick a G. O. P. winner before the campaign | starts. He’ used to be secretary of the G. ©. P. national committee. Smith’s rivals in the democratic party scored as follows: Reed, 163 editors and 111 political leaders; Mc- | Adoo, 102 newspapers and 384 poli- ticians; Meredith, 110 newspapers and 83 political experts. \ Hoover Also Leads. Hoover leads the republican field, | est two rivals combined. First choice in the judgment of the editors was: | Hoover 577, Lowden 518, Hughes 218, Dawes 88, Curtis 39, Borah 28 and Longworth 11. This was before Cur- tis became an avowed candidate and | before Willis tossed his hat into the! ring. It was also prior to the agree- ment of the western insurgents to support Norris. Political leaders showed first preference in this order: | Hoover 267, Lowden 248, Hughes 115, Dawes 60. Dawes With Hughes. Hoover strength was indicated in |most of the states,-as was also the support for Dawes and Hughes. Low- den strength was chiefly in the Mis- sissippi_ Valley, where he is now fought by the Norris-Borah group. Most significant is Lockwood’s ob- servation that “the support of Hughes and Dawes is almost identical ‘and | may turn: to the one or the other be-| sore or during the convention. It is| by no means certain that Gov. Hughes will enter the race unless de- velopments indicate at least an even chance of securing the nomination.” Neodle Trade Defense The Joint Defense Committee, Cloakmakers, Dressmakers and Fur- riers, is issuing a book entitled “The History of the Mineola Frame-up” as a souvenier for the Bazaar to be held during Christmas week at Grand Cen- tral Palace, 46th St. and Lexington Ave. This book will contain all details of the frame-up and trial of the nine fur workers. at Mineola. It will also include a list of those who have helped to carry on the fight against the frame-up. ‘ The book is being printed and -will be for sale within a week. On Dec. 12 the appeal of the nine furriers will be heard at the Appel- late Division Court. The Ku Klux Klan of Mineola, and the labor bu- reaucrats are working energetically to send these workers to jail. It is up to the w ing masses to save them, Money is needed immediately. The appeal will cost at least $10,000. More money will be needed for the new trial—if one is granted. The time is short. Buy a Xmas Present. If you intend to buy presents for your friends or relatives this Christ- mas postpone it until Dec. 23 when the Bazaar opens. A special Christ- mas present department will be in- stalled.
