 TRAITOR ID OATH
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK. Aug. 24-The Socialist party opened it's campaign tonight at a meeting called for expressing sol idarity with the Russian soviet repub- lie and protesting against the policies by which the capitalistic governments of the world have sought and are seek ing to strangle the voice of the Rus sian people,
 J. D. Cannon, Socialist candidate for governor, criticised the government because of it's attitude toward soviet Russia and said there was a time when the United States not only recognized q new born republic but offered pro- lection to it.
 T don't want the United States to help the Russian soviet republic" said Cannon. What I want is to have the United States let it alone"
 Municipal Court Justice Jacob Panken said he agreed with Secretary of State Colby when he declared re- gently that the president and cabinet could not aid Poland, as that was up to congress.
 But six months ago. he added, Secretary of War Baker sent muni- tions to Poland and I charge the presi- dent and cabinet with betraying the constitution" A little later the jus tice said:
 The president is a traitor to the constitution and violates his oath of office by sending arms to fight the Russians. friendly people, against whom no declaration of war has been made"
 Resolutions were adopted declaring that ''the principle of self -determina- ton for all peoples, loudly proclaimed by the allied governments when they needed it as popular war cry, has been flagrantly violated by them in all their dealings with the Russian so- viet republic"
 The resolutions also stated that "in the interests of the masses in the United States and the world require that Russia be permitted to solve her own problems without dictation from outside and ito this end we protest against any effort of the government of the United States to rehabilitate the Polish imperialists and put them in a position to renew their attacks upon soviet RusSia.'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Great Britain has initiated diplomatic con VerSationS with the American govern ment as to the liability of the United States for expenditures necesSitated by the detention in American ports of the seven former German liners allocated to this country for the homeward movement of American troops. The ships were held up by the shipping board after their surrender by the war department but finally were delivered to England.
 While the ships were detained here. British crews sent to America to take them over were idle in New York. 4 question of demurrage charges also Is understood to be involved.
 No specific claim for reimbursement has been presented, it is understood the negotiations having been started 10 reach an amicable agreement to where the responsibility for the delay rests. The ultimate ownership of the vessels which include the Imperator now operated by the Cunard line, also Is understood to have been made part of the discussion. Great Britain claims title to the ships under the decision of the allied shipping commission on which the United States was not rep resented and the ruling of which never have been accepted by the Washington government. The shipping board has claimed that allocation of the ships to the United States was permanent and 1t was on this ground that it refused for some time to deliver the vessels to Great Britain. The question finally was referred to President Wilson and the vessels were ordered delivered to the British pending a final decision.

 There is no hope for the world" said Mir. Hughes, unless America can protect and maintain her own institu- tions. The world cannot survive un- less America survives"

WILSON'S NAME IS CHEERED BY DEMOS
 IN LAS VEGAS MEET
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WlreI

EAST LAS VEGAS. N. M., Aug 24-- President Wilson's name brought a greater demonstration at the Demo- cratic state convention here today than the mention of Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt. although the candidates were generously cheered by the 500 odd delegates assembled to nominate a state ticket
 The first day of the convention was noticeable by the prominent part played in the proceedings by women. more than 100 sitting as delegates and having equal rights with the men. For the first time in the history of politi- cal convention in the state, there was no smoking in the hall.
 Women were admitted to member ship in the state central committee, provision being made to include two men and two women from each county. Heretofore the committee has been composed of two men from each county.
 Judge Richard H. Hanna of Albu- querque probably will be nominated tomorrow afternoon as he is without opposition. It is not expected that any other name will be placed in nomina- ton and so confident are the dele gates of his nomination that banners have been prepared and arrangements made for a demonstration. There are few contests for places on the ticket the only one of importance being for the supreme court bench which is a three -cornered affair.
