REICH OPPOSES ANGLO - FRENCH WAR DEBTS VIEW Would Make Wall St. Germany’s Shylock BERLIN, Nov. 20.—The Reich- stag today rejected the Communist motion of non-confidence in foreign minister Stresemann and his policy of continued reparation payments at the expense of the workers, the government policy of continued construction of armored cruisers and the growing departure into a new and strong imperialism. The motion was made by the Communist deputy, after he had exposed the policy of the govern- ment, backed by the social-demo- crats, and pointed out the increas ingly bad conditions of the work- ers, due to adherence to the Dawes plan. British Policy. In reply to Stresemann’s speech in the Reichstag yesterday, in which he supported the American position that war debts and reparations be separate, a British memorandum on reparations was handed to the Ger- man charge d'affaires in London to- day. It is understood that the note re- stated the British and French posi- tion that Germany must pay as much in reparations to Britain and France as these countries must pay in debts to the United States. This is paramount to insisting that Ger. many pay the United States di rectly for French and British wat debts. It is also understood that the note objects to separating the questions of evacuation of the Rhineland from that of reparations. as $tresemann wishes to do. Sale * Anglo-French United Front PARIS, Nov. 20.—At the cabinet meeting today, Emile Moreau, gov- ernor of the Brank of France, was strongly recommended to represent France on the special committee of experts, suggested by Germany, to discuss the settlement of the war debts and reparations. Neither England nor France have changed their position in this re- spect, both insisting on receiving the same amount from Germany as they are to pay to the United States. The committee of experts are to cecide how the German industrial securities, created by the Dawes plan, can best be marketed. Prob- ably the United States will be def- initely linked up with German rep- arations by purchasing most of these bonds, and thus becoming the shylock for France and England to Germany. | Tt now appears that Germany and the United States are united in de-| manding that war debts and rep-/| arations be separated, while Britain and France insist that the United) States take the burden off their shoulders. ' French newspapers, commenting | on Stresemann’s speech in the} Reichstag yesterday, object to the | policy as formulated by him, in- sisting that troops should not be withdrawn from the Rhineland un- til Germany pays her obligations. French “Noble” Kills, Child; Calls Working) Mother Real Criminal) PARIS, Nov, 20.—The decadent ideology of aristocracy, which still clings with feudal tentacles to France, has led a “noble” Pierre de Rayssac to kill his eighteen-month old child, because it placed a black mark on the family escutcheon, De Rayssac, according to his own admission, took the infant in his | limousine, calmly undressed the child, that cried and clung to him, and threw it ima canal. His reason) was that the child was not legiti- mate. At the trial two members of his) family came to testify to the austere | morals of the family thruout its history, fully excusing the murder on this ground, and launching an at- tack against the chambermaid, who was the mother of the child.

Prof. Brukhankenko said the ex- periments were conducted before a commission of scientists at the of- ficial scientific chemical institute of Moscow. Details of the story were published widely here. The press department of the foreign office vouched for the correctness of the story. Prof. Brukhanenko reported that the dog was anasthetized and the head carefully severed. Thereafter, he said, a normal circulation of blood was maintained by means of the ar- tificial heart. The dog’s head, he continued, reacted to pain, light and the senses of hearing and taste. The scientists regard the experi- ments as an achievement which may eventually lead to important medical discoveries. Big Death Rate Among Negroes in the Cities Is Due to Segregation PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (By Mail). —In a recent issue of American Medicine, a medical publication, at- tention is called to the fact that a high death rate continues to exist in| the cities. This is noted as being! particularly true of the Negro nopu- lation in the cities, due to segrega- tion. The article states that exces-| sive mortality is not due to any in-| herent physical weakness of the Negro race, although the writer is| of the opinion that the Negro seems to have a greater proneness to cer- tain diseases, especially tuberculosis, than the whites. An instance cited in the journal that the death rate in cities is 23.5 for Negroes against 12.2 for whites, “is chargeable to sociological and economic conditions,” is absolutely true, as the Negro is forced to live in sections that are unsanitary, un- healthful and unhygenic. The article states that the responsibility for the excessive mortality is due to “negli- gence, race-hatred, discrimination and to the indifference and stupidity of the white race.’ ' The conclusion can therefore be} drawn from the article, that while the Negro slightly improves his economic condition by moving from the country to the city, he does it at an increased risk to his life. This condition will continue to exist in a capitalistic society, for where there is capitalism there will always be racial discrimination. CARDINALS TO POWOW.

McGARRY SELLS QUT MINE STAKE | Cheer Minerich Speech for New Union Continued from Page One the past by militant miners. and representatives of the new National Miners Union, resulted at a mass meeting of over 3,000 coal diggers held at Browntown, near here. 5 Shows Own Unfitness. Admitting that the Boylan ma- chine was dishonest and worthless, McGarry nevertheless advised the coal diggers to go back. “There is nothing else to do,” the cowardly misleader said, During the whole course of the strike, which was called by him without preparation and in which ho failed to organize mass _picket- ing or other activities of the miners, McGarry failed to adopt the only plan which can win—-mass action of the coal diggers themselves. During the course of the meet- ing, Tony Minerich, organizer for the new National Miners Union, arose to demand the floor. When McGarry refused to let him speak 2 thunderous protest arose from the coal diggers. McGarry was forced to take a vote on the question of letting Minerich speak, Every miner in the hall, without exception, voted to hear the representative of the only union which has a fighting program for the miners. Exposes McGarry Treachery. In a scathing attack on the cor- rupt Lewis machine, which Mc- Garry was asking the miners to in, Minerich pointed out the cer- tain defeat which would occur if they followed such treacherous ad- vice. Great enthusiasm marked the call of Minerich to join with the new National Miners Union under rank and file control. . At this point state troopers, who were present, stopped Minerich’s speech. Then they turned to Mc- Garry to inquire if they should per- mit the militant miner to continue, No one heard just what McGarry said, but Minerich was not permit- ted to continue. The whole Pittston district is aroused at the betrayal of McGarry and sentiment is growing in favor of the new National Miners Union. BELGIUM POLICE DEPORT WORKERS Spies Mark Miners of Poland (Red Aid Press Service) BERLIN (By Mail).—According reports in “Drapeau Rouge,” Belgian Communist daily, from March 1 on, 80 foreign workers have been ban- ished from Luttich province in Belgium. Among the 17 recently deported are workers, students, aa men and women. Many of them have families and | small children. Those mostly affect- ed are Polish workers, who were employed in the mines. The deportations followed upon the denunciation of a spy, who “worked” for the Polish consulate and for the Belgium government at the same time.

The employers are said to intend to resume work Thursday or Wednesday evening. The reformist | trade union leaders are ready to settle the important question of re- sumption of work without referring back to the workers. | * # * | (Wireless to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, U.S. S.
