J., May 29.—Some 250 workers led by the Commu- nist Party of Newark demonstra- ted Sunday in front of a hall where a Hitler meeting camouflaged as a concert was being held. The work- ers carried signs and shouted slogans protesting against Hitler’s terror re- gime in the face of tear-gas bombs and police guns. The Hitler meeting, which was very small, was recruited from the 8.8, “Hamburg,” of the Hamburg-American Line. Two work- ers were arrested at the meeting, A.

This is a breach of Gandhi's own statement, made when he started fasting that civil isobedience was to be suspended solely for the duration of his fast. His reported readiness to call off the campaign for good is linked with the British insistence on formal repudi- ation of civil disobedience before any amnesty for political prisoners “Shock to the Capitalist System” LONDON, May 29.—Repercussions of the departure of the United States from the gold standard continue to| be felt here. Under the headline—| “Legalizing the Fraud”—the “Finan-| cial News” writes: “The capitalist sys-| tem has survived many shocks, and| doubtless will survive this one, but a contract is the whole basis of capit-| alism, and the deliberate shattering! of contracts on this scale must leave | its marks on the’ system... History | yields no evidence that there is any | way of frustrating an embarrassed! and unscrupulous sovereign from de- basing the currency of his subjects if he really is intent on doing so. And in the face of recent events it would be plainly foolish to count on | any juridical obstacles being able to} impede Roosevelt from carrying} through his modern rendering of the coin-clippers art.” This plain speaking from the or- gan of English high finance is echoed by the London “Times,” which de- scribes America’s action as “repudi- ation.” ‘The British press in general regards Roosevelt’s move as an act of sabot- age against the Economic Conference, and looks to the Conference as the place where counter moves may be made, French Will Offer “Violent Oppost- tion” to U. S. PARIS, May 29.— Frederic Jenny, financial expert, writing in today’s “Le Temps” bitterly attacks America’s legal ban on gold payments, on the ground that “no foreign credit oper- ations are possible without a gold clause in the contract, and, without foreign credit, economic reconstruc- tion will be impossible.” He ends by declaring that “the London Economic Conference should react violently in opposition, otherwise all hope of in- ternational reconstruction will be- Threat to Boycott Conference It is also given as the unanimous preparing for the London Conference, and steps to quash competition on behalf of vested interests. The Hugenberg big-business group is forcing through ultra-capitalistic measures, such as the restoration of syndicates’ rights to boycott and pun- ish price-cutting by member com- panies.

Coal pro- duction in the Ruhr has declined considerably and the stocks of un- | sold coal piled up near the mines have reached the record level of 11,- 250,000 tons. Only 511 ships with a total tonnage | of 550,000 tons arrivéd in the Weser River Ports (including Bremen and Bremerhaven) during April, a de- cline of 10 per cent from the March totals. Foreign Orders Cancelled. The textile industry on the left bank of the Rhine reports that it has lost all its markets in Belgium | and Holland. The same is reported by the Rhineland machinery industry and the Solingen steel plants. The big Felten & Guillaume Works (manufacturing cable) in Cologne re- | ports a loss of 600,000 marks of or- ders from Belgium, Holland and Eng- land during the first three weeks of | April alone. This year’s Leipzig Fur Fair, which for centuries has been the biggest of its kind in all Europe, has collapsed almost completely owing to the boy- cott of American, French and Brit- ish fur merchants. On May 12 furs worth 9,000,000 marks had to be with- drawn from auction because there were no buyers for them Big Crop Holdover. Large quantities of last year’s crops remain unsold, according to the April 15th report of the German Agricul- tural Board. In former years, Ger- many not only consumed all its own crops, but also imported large amounts of grain from abroad.

The French and Japanese delegations are lined up against any numerical limitation on tanks. Japan also opposes the numerical limitation of bombing planes. England and Jap- an are both in complete opposition to the formula for defining an ag- gressor nation which is now under discussion by the Security Commis- sion. Now an entirely new source of friction has developed over the ques- tion of the adjournment of the Con- ference. The United States is op- posed to the Conference adjourning until some sort of agreement is reached and wants that agreement to be reached before the opening of the World Economic Conference. England is heading a move for the almost immediate adjournment of this Conference, until such time as the Economic Conference itself shall be over and done with. A bitter fight on this question is developing. The powers in favor of a recess are ar- guing that the League Secretariat's funds are so low that it would be financially impossible to hold two major conferences simi le would be quite useless for France to attend the conference.” a ire Swiss Gold Standard Shaky GENEVA, May 29.—Reduction of federal salaries was blocked by the electorate in a referendum yesterday by a vote of 483,165 to 408,395. This result will probably lead to official departure from the gold standard, and a policy of inflation by the govern- ment, to effect the desired wage cuts. The financial position of the can- tons is very bad. Berne, for exam- ple, has a deficit of 100,000,000 Swiss francs in a 500,000,000 franc budget. The Swiss hotels are empty of guests, and the tourist trade is Switzerland's biggest business. The watchmaking industry is likewise crippled. Many depositors are removing their money from Swiss banks to London, in ob- vious anticipation of a Swiss infla- tion movement. 5,200 Votes Polled on Workers’ Ticket in Denver, Colorado DENVER,, Colo., May 22,—Candi- dates running on a ticket of a united front of workers’ organizations polled 5,200 votes. They were candidates in 7 of the 9 Councilmanic districts. The vote is the total count on the pref- erential system, which includes, first, second and third choice votes. In District 4, William Dietrich an active Communist against whom the vigilance committee of the K. K, K. and the Civic League carried on a campaign received a thousand votes. The candidate who was elected re- ceived less than 5,000 votes, Some of the candidates on the ticket were members of the Socialist Party, whose local affiliated itself with the united front.

He did not join the patriotic youth who car- ried arms in defense of northern cap- | italism against the Slave South. He! stayed at home to hold the fort in| Wall Street. Two transactions of those years stand out in the record. He financed a deal in damaged car- bines. Guns condemned by the U.S. Army as unsafe for soldiers who might carry them were purchased from the government arsenal and sold again to the army which then placed them in the hands of the northern sol- diers. A House of Representatives committee, later investigating the graft in Civil War purchases, char- acterized this deal as fraudulent—“an effort to obtain from the government some $49,000 over and above the value of the property sold” and “a crime against the public safety.” Also during the Civil War, J. P. Morgan and another smart young man turned a pretty profit of $160,000 by speculating in gold and manipu- lating the foreign exchange rate. rie sae e" AS years went by such speculative ventures gave place to more “sol- id” dealings. In railroads, for ex- ample, J. P. Morgan the elder, would step into the game after the openly piratical pioneers had gone through a round of building and wrecking and cheating. Then J. P. Morgan would reorganize the roads and get a large profit and a sure return. In displac- ing the more dashing pioneers, Mor- gan of course had the help of judges and lawmakers and ingenious lawyers. At least once—in the 1869 battle against Jay Gould and Jim Fisk for control of the Albany and Susque- hanna—he sent out gun thugs to fight the Gould-Fisk forces and take physical possession of the property. Later Morgan passed on from rail- roads to steel, then to locomotives, farm machinery, electrical manufac- ture, copper, chemicals, Since the World. War the home domain has been extended to include autos, radio broadcasting, electric utilities and re- tail trade. Latest of all, Morgan in- terests are now moving seriously into aviation, In International But J. P. Morgan was always active in international banking. Before 1870 9,000,000 Pesos Back Pay Owed Cuban Civil Service Employees HAVANA, Cuba.—When the pres- ent fiscal year ends on June 30, the Machado government will owe its civil service employees back salaries totalling 9,000,000 pesos, or one-fifth of the country’s total budget. The government admits that sala- ries cannot be paid out of taxes this year, although the government em- ployees’ conditions are truly desper- ate, since many of them have been unpaid for the past five or six months despite a 50 per cent pay cut.

And always the House was growing rich on the importing of British cap- ital to the United.States. So it was natural that early in the World War the House of Morgan became the pur- chasing agent in the United States for the British Government. This was a nice arrangement for Morgan as many of the war supplies could be ordered from corporations dominated or very close to J. P. Morgan & Co. Since the war, Morgan has sold about $2,000,000,000 of foreign bonds in the United States. These include issues which made Morgan the cou- pon-paying agent for France, Bel- gium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, Australia, and China, At the same time, American cor- 1,500 TOBACCO WORKERS STRIKE IN PHILIPPINES Strike Led by the Red Trade Unions MANILA, P. I. (By Mail).—The re- volutionary trade union center of the Philippines, the “Proletarian Labor Congress” or “K. A. P.” has done a splendid piece of work in rallying the tobacco workers, mostly women, to strike against wage cuts. Five years ago, a good worker used to draw as much as 30 pesos (15 dollars) a week. Now part time and cut rates make it impossible to get over two or three pesos a week. ‘ Still another cut was decreed on March 30 by the “Helena” Company, with shops scattered about the Man- ila region. One hundred and fifty women cigar makers in the Sampoloc branch (part of Manila) responded with a strike. The K. A. P, center and the Tobacco Workers’ Union af- filiated to the K. A. P. are leading the strike and have extended it to seven factories of this one company; by April 7 they had no less than 1,550 workers on strike. Only 15 workers in three shops of the com- pany are working, and these are from families of the foremen. On April 8, ten representatives of the Central Strike Committee pre- sented their demands ot the owner and manager of the entire Helena system. The demands were rejected and the strike continues until this writing. The bosses threaten to use gangsters, while the mass picketing and defense organization is strength- ened by the Strike Committee.

Argentine and Chile Sign Trade Treaty BUENOS AIRES, May 29.—Argen- tina and Chile, signed a trade treaty yesterday which is designed to end the trade war that has been going on between these two countries for almost half a decade. A year ago, trade between Argentina and Chile had virtually ceased, and with the stoppage of Argentine cattle exports, the Trans-Andine Railroad wa: closed. The new treaty is to run for three years. SANTIAGO, Chile, May 29.—The Association of Retailers and Indus- trial Manufacturers of Chile, at its nation-wide convention, recommen- ded a customs union for the South American states. The move has met press, which also hails the new Chile- Argentina trade truce as a step in the right direction. union would bring a measure of eco- nomic peace to the South American countries, but would intensify trade war as between the countries in the proposed union and other economic regions. Argentina Shops Close in Sales Tax Protest BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—The government announces that Argen- | tine exports fell. 28.7 per cent during | the first four months of 1933. Shopkeepers have ciosed the stores and shops in very many cities and villages throughout the country in protest, against the new confiscatory sales tax. Although most of the stores in Buenos Aires, the capital, are still open, practically all stores in Cordoba, Bahia Blanca, and in fact all outlying centers, remain closed. NewHarvard President MadePoisonGas inWar WILLOUGHBY, Ohio.—Dr. James Bryant Conant, new president of Har- vard University, did his “bit” during the world war by manufacturing poi- son gas at a factory near Willoughby. He specialized in Lewisite, a partic- ularly deadly and painful gas. ‘The men who worked in the poison gas plant lived in barracks, surrounded by barbed-wire fences guarded by armed sentries. They were under oath to say nothing about the factory. 4 Workers Jailed; Picketed in Chicago Against Jim Crowism CHICAGO, Ill.

Premier Dala- r received assurances today that jand has withdrawn her objec- tions to reference in the Treaty to | the penalties under Article 16 of the Le: ef Nations Covenant.

The nationalist press still | bitterly assails the pact, and the gov- ernment’s financial policy is meeting | with stormy protest. Eight thousand | stores in Paris were closed in a “tax- | Payers strike,” together with thous- | ands more in the provinces, to de- mand that the budget be balanced | and that taxes be reduced. The strength of the government's Position lies in the nearness of the London Economic Conference, and in |the tricky nature of the negotiations now being conducted on the arms question in Geneva, since the over- throw and reconstruction of the gov- ernment at this time would seriously weaken France's voice in these con= ferences. ¢ ee Protest Treaty Revision BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, May 20.— A national protest of 35,000 people took place here today against the re- vision of the peace treaties, The demonstration was part of a joint protest of the Little Entente coun- tries, and the buildings here were decorated with the flags of Roumania and Czechoslovakia as well as with that of Yugoslavia. Telegrams were sent to the Kings of Roumania and Yugoslavia, and to President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, expressing the chauvinist determination of those present to fight territorial revision of the treaties even at the cost of a new war.
