STAMP TRADING
CURBED BY u. S.
TO STOP PROFIT
Conversion Rates of Foreign
Money Changed to Nearer
Prevailing Exchange

Washington, August 2.-The post
office department late today took steps
to end the possibility of accommodating
huge profits by trading in internation-
al money orders and stamps.
Establishment of new rates for con-
version on foreign money when inter-
national money orders are paid or is
sued by United States postoffices was
announced. The new rates more nearly
approximate the prevailing rate of ex-
change. The Old rates were based on
exchange prevailing before the war.
Taking advantage of the difference
in postal rates and real exchange
rates, Charles Ponzi of Boston made
more than sS,O00,000 in few months
trading in international money orders
and stamps Others have also made
huge profits, investigation showed.
Ponzi was said to have bought
stamps abroad and sold them here at
a great profit.
The American government, it was
made plain, has not lost any money
through operations of Ponzi and 9TH
ers, but has been the gamer. These
gains through money order exchanges
probably total hundreds of millions,
officials said.

SUDDEN RICHES

Renewal of Run by Investors
Prompt Return of De-

PONZI DENIES ANY FRAUD

Boston, Aug. .2--The securities eX-
change company, headed by Charles
PonZi whose alleged operations in
foreign exchange are being investi-
gated by U. S. Attorney Gallagher
and Attorney General Allen, of Mas.
sachusetts, continued today the pay
ment of notes to those investors who
presented their claims.
Ponzi's prompt return of funds to
these who asked for them had the
effect toward the end of last week Of
greatly diminishing the number Of
payments, but there was evidence to-
day of a sudden renewal of desire
to cash the notes he had issued.
Porzi issued statement in denial
of a published article by William
McMasters, his former publicity
agent in which McMasters expressed
the belief that Ponzi was hopeless

money to some depositors and not to
others. B..

Ownership, He Says
ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION

Chicago, Aug. Condemnation Of

man, of Chicago, today in his letter &C.

"Our beloved standard bearer is
mute by the judgment of harsh and
unreasonable Interpretation of war

his letter. "His Imprisonment is con

publican Congress. Yet this clarion
call will rally together all the intelli-
gent workers of, HAND. and brain. s,all

past advocated a peaceful change and

REVOLT
PLAN OF REDS
FROM. MOSCOW
Third InternatiOnale Send Com
municati0ns to British 1nde-
dependent Labor Party

London, Aug. "A bloody revOlu-
ton is planned by Russian communists
to bring about the overthrow of world
governments, according to cOmmuni-
cation sent the British Independent la
Dor party from the third International
at Moscow, which is quoted in the Lon
don Times today.
In order to achieve triumph for the
proletariat in Great Britain, the work.
ers must prepare for civil war, says
the communication. It declares the
day is coming when communism will
sweep Europe, and that the eastern ma
gtiOns will meet Great Britain and
America in mortal conflict which will
result in defeat Of the bourgeoise.
The communication was made in re-
ply to IL questions sent to The Moscow
internationale by the independent la
Dor party. One of these questions
was: "How does communism differ
from other forms of socialism," to this
the following reply was made There
are no other forms. There is only
communism. Whatever else goes un-
der the name Of socialism is either
wilful deception by the lackeys of the
bourgeoise or selfdelusion by persons
who hesitate to choose between the
proletariat and the bourgeoise."
Another answer reads in part: 1T
is is most unlikely the bourgeoise will
it's power without strug-
gle. Therefore the workers OF Great
Britain should prepare, not for an easy
parliamentary victory, but for victory
by a heavy civil war"
"Civil war" "world revolution and
profound distrust of parliamentary ac-
ton appear in several of-the answers.
James Ramsay Macdonald, the for
mer member of the house of commons
and one of the leaders of the independ-
ent labor party. commenting on the
document from Moscow writes:
.'The Moscow revolutionists are no
fireside revolutionists. When they
say revolution they mean bloodshed
and violence. Anyboy who accepts the
Moscow view ought to have nothing to
do with the Independent labor party
