| German Communists to Vote No-Confidence in “Socialist’s” THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1928 Page Three USSR DELEGATE HITS POLICY OF AMSTERDAM INTL Increased Wages Far Behind Bigger Expenses (Spectal Cable to The Daily Worker) VIENNA, July 4.—Yesterday’s ses. sion of the International Congress of Food Workers here was characterized by sharp discussion and debate be- tween delegates from the Soviet Union and the executive committee of the food workers union. The delegates from the Soviet Union attacked the policy of the In- ternational Federation of Trade Unions, which is splitting the labor movement in all the countries where it is in control, and sabotaging labor struggles. The International Federa- tion of Trade Unions is concentrating on the International Labor Office in Geneva and on the League of Na- tions, neglecting completely the strug- gle of workers all over the world against the war danger, the Soviet delegates said. Spotnikov, the second Soviet dele- gate, proved by quoting recognized statistics that the petty increases in wages are limping weakly behind the rising cost of living. He declared that the Foodworkers International had no fighting policy, and pointed out of the 90,000 Swiss francs of the union’s money, only 2,000 had been spent in fights for bettering the con- ditions of the workers within its ranks. The rest of the money, 88,000 Swiss francs, had been expended on “administration expenses” which might very easily have been cut down. After he had completed his speech, Schifferstein, secretary of the Inter- national Food Workers, answered with a violent attack upon the Soviet Union, declaring that. the situation of the working class there was worse than in the rest of Europe. This, however, was denied by the Soviet representatives, who again offered statistical proof to defend the Soviet situation, * * * (Special to The DAILY WORKER.)

S, Mexican Government Fears for Loans MEXICO CITY, July 4.—Mingled with messages of good will to Ambas- sador Dwight W. Morrow, on his re- turn from the United States, where it is understood that he consulted with New York bankers concerning the ad- visability of further loans to the Mex- ican government, the newspapers here are carrying expressions of fear that the meeting of the All-American- Anti-Imperialist League, which is scheduled for this afternoon, may in- terfere with co-operation with the American financial interests. The demonstration which the League is planning will protest against the presence of American marines in Nicaragua and other Latin American areas. ety ee For “Love” of Wall St. MEXICO CITY, July 4—The un- der-secretary of education, Moises Saenz, has appointed a committee of educators and newspapermen to lead a movemerit thru the public schools. Their purpose will be to teach chil- dren to “love the United States,” Moises Saenz is the brother of Aaron Saenz, former secretary of state and manager of the Obregon campaign. He is at present governor of Leon. The New York Times Contradicts Itself In a news item appearing in the New York Times yesterday, dated from London, the buying of grain on the world market hy the U. S. S. R. government was interpreted as evi- | dence of a crisis in U. S. S. R. grain |and the possibility of a famine. The item cites information from Riga re- reports, one of the most unreliable news centers for news of the Soviet ing and hearing this sensational in- vention. 2 First Appearance Before Workers. Now for the first time Prof, There-| min ‘s preparing to appear before a| real working class audience in this | country. And it is fitting that this distinguished representative of the only workers’ and peasants’ republic should give his first concert before American workers on a revolutionary holiday, July 14, the anniversary of | the fall of the Bastille. And it is also fitting that his first appearance | should be before a mass gathering | Union. The news itself is probably broadasted by Reuter’s, the British government dispatch agency. A few days ago the New York Times carried a report from Walter Duranty, Moscow correspondent for the Times, which emphasized the fa- vorable crop prospects, and cited fa- vorable reports from all parts of the main grain centers of the Soviet Union, such as Southern Ukraine and Siberia. The latter report is far more reliable, especially since it is reinforced by oficial Soviet govern- of militant workers—25,000 of them —all of whom will be present at Coney Island Stadium July 14 at the greatest proletarian musical event ever held in the United States. But Theremin will be only one of) the performers at this concert. | Arnold Volpe with his famous sym- phony orchestra will be there and a wonderful ballet and—but we can’t divulge all of the great program just now: The tip for all workers is: get your tickets early.

U.S, BRITISH FUNDS SEEK VENEZUELA OIL MARACAIBO, Venezuela, July 4.—A hundred- mile pipe line with a daily capacity of 20,000 barrels, from the Tara field to Lake Macaraibo, Venezuela, the newly formed Colon Oil Corporation, organized by the Royal Dutch Shell group and the Carib Syndicate. The new Royal Dutch subsidiary will take over the entire capital stock of the Colon de- velopment company. ‘Thirty wells have already been completed on the | property, This will open about 2,- | 100,000 acres of hitherto undeveloped oil fiel The financing of this new enterprise will be done through the American investment bankers, Leo and Co., who will place on the Amer- ican market $10,000,000 of convertible debenture bonds of the new company. While American capital will partic- ipate in this British oil venture in Venezuela, the British have provided for keeping control of the company by the issuance of 2,200,000 shares of authorized common shares, the ma- jority of which will be owned by the Royal Dutch Shell group. The Royal Dutch group represents the most important and oldest oil in- terests in Venezuela, where the Brit- ish have still greater oil investments than the Americans. The latter, how- ever, are entering into Venezuelan oil exploitation and almost all other oil companies organized later are Amer- ican controlled. At present American capital, which had only a very small interest in the Royal Dutch Shell group $s joining in a larger measure the British enterprise. Venezuela has outstripped Mexico in oil production and has no laws re- stricting foreign exploitation. TROOPS TO FIGHT BOLIVIA INDIANS SUVE, Bolivia, July 4.—The Boliv- ian government has sent troops to Puerto Acosta against the Indians who are said to be massing for at- tacks on the towns.

Delegates showed that no demo- cracy was left in District 14. The remedy was the removal of the Lewis machine throughout the coun-/| try and the building of a big pow-| erful union, they declared. An indictment of the officials of District 14 was read and adopted. Delegates pointed out the need of political action along with the build- ing of a powerful union of the work- ers. They showed that the “Sun” and the “Searchlight,” local evening end morning papers printed on the same press, are the republican and democratic mouthpieces of the oper- ators. At the same time it was pointed out that Burr was a repub- lican and Skahan a democrat and both sat in the newspapers’ office regularly and gave their printing to this concern. REPORT FURTHER SANDING GAINS MANAGUA, July 4. — While in- formation received from the interior reports that the army of independence under General Augusto Sandino con- tinues to operate successfully against the American marines despite the | rainy season, every effort is being made here today to distract the minds of the Nicaraguans from Sandino and center it on the American Fourth of July celebration and the coming elec- tions. With a view to impressing the coun- try with the power of the American marine forces now in Nicaragua, re- views and parades are being held in all the towns and districts where American forces are stationed. * “ * Return From East Coast.

Cabinet MUELLER TO GET ADVERSE BALLOT IN NeXT 48 HOURS Further Action Expect | to Follow BERLIN, July 4.—After careful deliberation, the Communist members of Reichstag today decided to sub- mit a motion of no-confidence in the new cabinet formed two days ago by Chancellor Mueller, Formal notice will probably be given in the next 48 hours. The no-confidence vote is felt to be a dramatic criticism by the Commu- nists of the class collaboration poli- ies of the German social democrats and has caused great excitement thru- out the country. Chancellor Mueller formed his “rump” cabinet, the so-called “cab- inet of persowalities,” after the fail- ure to secure a coalition among the leading German parties in the Reich- stag. The formation of such a cabinet | called forth unusual comment among the workers and their leaders, as re- flecting the complete betrayal of the working class by the social democra- tic party. It is believed that further action | will be demanded by the Communists within the next few days. A dissolu- tion of the present cabinet as at pres- ent constituted is seen as not improb- ‘able. cn HN MOSCOW—LENINGRAD Free Visés (Extensions Arranged for to Visit Any Part of U. S. S. R.) &?
