Social Democratic
League Gives Out
National Platform
Hopes to Unite All Voters
Except Wealthy and Put
Fifty Representatives in
Congress Next Fall

The Social Democratic League of
America, of which Charles Edward Rus
sell is president, gave out a statement
yesterday placing under four heads the
principal features of q platform on
which it hopes to unite all voters ex-
cept the wealthy and their dependents
and to elect more than fifty Represen-
'atves to Congress. The four principal
points arc:
]. Democracy in fact as we'll as in
name. The abolition Of the excessive
power OF the courts over legislation
Z. Government ownership and con-
troll where practicable and indispen
sable for the public welfare. Labor
does not indorse government ownership
as panacca for all industry; nor does
1T lndorse any particular form of gov
ernment control. The two chief means
OF plutocratc domination are trans
portation and credit. Labor proposes
merely that control over credit should
be taken from financiers and vested in
a public agency" and that the railroads,
be maintained under government ad-
mlnlstration for two years ain order
that a thorough test may be made of
governmental operation under normal
conditions"
g. Profteering and the high cost of
living must be effectively dealt with.
Here again no irresponsible and de-
cciving politicians promises of easy
remedies, such as Attorney General
Palmer continues to put forth from day
to day, but "a constructive method
Pitiless publicity as direct and truth
ul means of revealing excess costs and
profits" And so of "prevention of
boarding and unfair price fixing"
+ a.. The unrestricted right of collect
live bargaining, which involves the un-
restricted right of employees COL
lectivcly to refuse to continue at work
under terms they regard as unjust.
This is the system of free labor. Com
pulsory labor is literally and in the
full sense of the word slavery. When
the employer is the government, or
some industry, or grave public con-
Germ, the principle of collective bar,
gaining permits it to use all legiti-
mate economic pressure to bring the
employees to accept terms the govern
ment regards as just, but the employees
equally insist on their right to resist
this pressure as long as the term
offered do not meet their conception of
justice. "No man is good enough to
govern another without the others CON
sent"

EvidenceFound
That Carranza
Aided Germany

Witnesses Who Declare
Mexican Consul Tapped
US. Army Wire ON Border
By Wilbur Forrest

Copyright 1920 New York Tribune Inc)
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 1S.-Sworn
testimony of a startling nature at
tempting to connect the Carranza gov
ernment with acts contrary to the in
terest of the United States during our
period Of tho World War may be intro
duced before the Fall Senate Committee
soon, it was indicated here to-day. The
committee recessed over o-day, Sena-
tor Fall going to Ell Paso, but it was
announced that regular sessions would
Deg'n again tomorrow, with Senator
Smith in the chair pending Senator
Fall's return.
Evidence so far given in San An
tonic has dealt mainly with q state of
iawless chaos existing in Mexico dur
ing which millions of dollars worth of
American property have been DESTROYED
and hundreds of Americans have been
driven out, some utterly ruined and
many killed. This testimony has
painted the Carranza army in blackest
colors as we'll as the acts of organized
and unorganzed bands of rebels and
bandits who have roamed Mexico Writ
Tally unmolested for several years.
Testimony during the coming week will
indicate an organized animosity toward
the United States by the Carranza re-
glme, it is indicated, even though that
regime enjoyed and still enjoys the
ofnclal recognition of our governme nt
1t was learned to-day that the COM
mlttee has been cognizant of acts in
inmical to the interests of the United
States carried on by a Mexican consul
with the supposed sanction of his own
official government during 1917 and
1918, when America was straining
every ounce of energy toward backing
up American troops in Europe.
witnesses will testify, it is asserted,
that the Mexican consul at Presidio,
Tex, was instrumental in tapping the
American military wires in the Big
Bend country and relaying such in
formation as he obtained over Mexican
government telegraph wires to Mexico
Clty. A fake message is said to have
been used by American military au-
thorities to prove the charge. The
Mexican wire was tapped and the fake
information was later heard going over
the Mexico City wire,
The hand of the German military in
telllgence service was suspected in this
wire tapping, as il was important for
the Germans to know how many troops
we were maintaining on the Mexican
border: The Carranza government was
avowedly pro-German at that time.
German agents were known to be circu-
latlng freely in Mexico.
1t will be alleged that border raids
were organized by the Mexicans during
TINS period TOR the purpose, it sup
posed, Of obliging the United States to
prlve European battlefelds of effec-
tives.
