Gold PARIS, June 19. — George W. Wickersham, formerly Attorney- Gen- eral of the United States, has been employéd as attorney by the Bank of France in its suit for $5,200,000 in gold=sent to New York by the Soviet goveynment last February and lates returned to Europe. The suit of the Bank of Fratice merely demands the méney and -in- terest since March 5, but omits all reference as to why they claim the money. This is because that follewing the first claim, it was pointed out that the gold was not the same as deposited with the Czarist | government by the Bank of Frame Revolution. Then ‘the} bank took the position that it had a right te~any gold from the Soviet Union. The suit evidently is intended as propaganda against the Soviet Union. | as the gold has been returned to Mos- | cow. { Amundsen Fails to Arrive at Kings Bay | LONDON, June 19.—The non-ar- | wegian polar explorer, at King’s Bay } this morning led to the belief ‘wed lhe may be “trying to make a direct {flight from Norway to the ice floe | com- } sought refuge after the! f the Italia, said a message | |from: King’s Ray this evening, | Amundsen and.

Our creed and watchword — Trust in good but keep your powder dry! And by the lord, we shall keep that powder dry. There is no place for those who stick posters tp at school doors in the ef- fort to influence the minds of pupils against everything they should be taught to rgspect and love.” Just what“Children “should” respect and love is told by the writer of the threatening communication... The ‘letter continues: “As long as the United States exists as a nation, I pray with all my heart that we shall never lose an aristocracy!” The letter states: “I would sooner see this land go down like Atlantis of old than in the hands of those who are trying to substitute the red flag of the Commune for our own splen- cid banner.” Instead of accpting the warning and decreasing their efforts, the Com- munist youth league has challenged the writer of the threat toa’ public debate, PELIEF IR DIRECTOR APPEALS FOR AID | Urges Lavour Sale of Certificates (Snecial to The DAILY WORKER.)

The immediate objective of | campaign is the control of the sources } of water used by the populations in the lower regions. | Plans have been made for the French invaders to halt at their pres- ent positions before continuing the} campaign against the Chleuhs, the tribe of Moorish ‘warriors agairst whom the present drive was chiefly | directed. Declining to risk a pitched battle against the vastly superior French forces, the Chleuh tribesmen have re- treated farther into the desert and are believed to be waiting a more favor- able opportunity for stopping the French advance when an atempt is made to push beyond the fortified posts in the mountains, The movement of the Freneh armies is considered as a final effort on the part of the French government to sub- due the regions of Morocco which have so long withstood its power, par- ticularly the Chleuh tribes. ‘PROGRESSIVES’ AVOID ISSUES WASHINGTON, June 19.
