WILL THE SOCIALISTS
 JOIN COMMUNISTS IS VITAL QUESTION
Convention to Be Held in Cleveland This Month Will Settle It by "Agenda"
 System
By Associated Press

Detroit, Mich, June 1S.-Whether Bocialism is to retain its present pro- |gramme end identity or be amalga- mated with sovistssm or communism one of the issues which the social l fst national convention, set for June k5 here, will be called upon to decide. Under the "agenda" system of vot- Ing, adopted by the socialists for the first time this year, all motions pro posed for submission to the conven- tion must be circulated in advance |hmong the membership of the party For assimilation and discussion. Any Faction or group within the party,
 however small and unrepresentative inay submit such a tentative motion Nor inclusion in the agenda with the distinct understanding, however, that |this procedure carries with it abso tutely no indorsement or sanction for she proposal by the committee who Im makes up the agenda.
 Thus among mass of other mo- |tions to be submitted at the meeting |will be the following taken from the
 printed copy of the agenda issued: A Motion to Be Offered
 A motion that %the socialist party |bf the United States renew it's appli- |cation for membership in the com Inunist internationale upon the basis bf complete acceptance of the q points of affiliation."
 Another motion on the same sub- ! ect says: That the socialist party
 bf the United States renew it's appli- |eation for membership in the com |nurist International, with the reser- Eration that we accept no binding Formula for the attainment or organ za tion of the socialist society, and Fetain complete autonomy in matters
 pf membership, organization and actics and in regard to our pro- |sramme and declarations regarding |Iuestions which are primarily of do- |nestic concern"
 A resolution dealing with the op- |rosite viewpoint will be offered, which states that; Be it resolved Ihat until such time as the commu- hist international has officially
 withdrawn the appeal for workers Q leave the American socialist party |lud others of similar import, mem |eers of the socialist party supporting 'jr indorsing the communist interna- Iional or advocating utilization there with shall be subject to expulsion by fheir respective branches"

GREAT BRITAIN IS W WD|NG t OU I AMERICA IN GREECE
Latest Export Figures Show English Exports Topped Those of U. s. by
 10 Per Cent
By Associate. Press

Athens, June 1S.-America's com mercial supremacy in Greece is threatened by England. Figures just compiled by Will L. Lowrie, of Elgin, H., American consul general to Greece, show that during the first eight months of 1920 Great Britain s exports to Greece were valued at 10 per cent more than the exports of the United States.
 In 1919 the United States held the record, leading England by good margin.
 England also leads America in i'm ports from Greece. American E-l- pcrts for the year fell off more than $5,0GO.000.
 The most notable decreases was in tobacco leaf, the 1920 shipments 10 the United States amounting to Jnly s1O,SO2,093, compared with A2,6S1, SIS i'll 1919.
 Greece is the principal tobacco center of Europe and the great fields in Macedonia produce some of the finest leaf in the world

HAS NO FEAR FOR
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Gen. Zeligowski, in Charge of Wilma, Says Possession Is
 Nine Points in Ten
By Associnted Press

1 Wilma, June 1S.-General Lucien Zeligowski, who still defies the League of Nations and who last fall
 marched into the Wilma district at
 the head of 10000 or more Polish | soldiers and proclaimed himself dic-
 tator of Central Lithuania, is a great 1 believer in the old time proverb that | possession is nine points in ten when | it comes to law, international or otherwise.
 For seven months the general has ] been supreme in the occupied coun- try while the LeaSue of Nations, 1 through its military commission of control has been endeavoring to act as mediator in the territorial dispute between Poland and Lithuania.
 i The general looks upon league
 members who have visited the dis
 trict as intruders. On the other hand 1 the league representatives appar-
 ently view Zeligowski in the same | light and have refused to deal direct with the general, all negotiations pertaining to a settlement of the Wilma affair from the one side being carried on through the Polish gov ernment in Warsaw. the Zeligowski soldiers in the meantime holding o1 to the fort.
 q am Pole, and Wilma Is my
 home," General Zeligowski said to the correspondent. T was born in Wilma. Most of my soldiers are na- tives of Wilma or adjacent territory Our reasons for being here are sim ply these:
 Tn 1919, when Poland was at- tackled by the bolsheviki, l went to war for Poland, together with thou sands of other Poles from the Wilma district. For two years we fought
 the bolsheviki, who in the meantim. l had occupied Wilma, robbed and de- 1 stroyed our homes and committed | atrocities upon our relatives and | friends. Eventually came the ar
 mistice between Poland and the
 soviets, and then many conflicting reports regarding vilna's fate.
 Ut was some weeks after this that | I decided to take action myself,
 knowing my men felt as I did in the
 matter. I resigned my commission
 as a general in the Polish army by
 telegraph, took command of the
 Wilma Polish troops and occupied the i country. We received glorious | welcome. and we've been here ever
 since. and naturally we feel per | fectlv at home, as we are at home,
 and I don't know of anything which is strong enough to pry us out.

LEVINE ACTED TOO' LATE IN FOOD CRISIS
Letter From Russia States Conditions Are Worse
 Than Ever
Bx Associated Press

Berlin, June 1S.--Lenine's aban- donment of government control of foodstuffs came too late to relieve the situation in bolshevist Russia. according to letters received in Ber- lin from family which has lived in Petrograd throughout the bolshe- vist regime.
 "The conditions are worse for us than they were when food was is- sued on cards" one letter states. I've are told now that we may buy food and the peasants are told they may sell food without violating gov eInment regulations. But there are no food shops And the peasants about Petrograd have little food to sell. They don't want paper rubles.
 They even refuse all sorts of manufactured articles in exchange for what little food they may have. They are afraid to give 1t up. as they are not sure that they can get an- other crop the coming year.
 "The Petrograd district is so ster- lie that little is produced here in normal times. Transportation is so bad, and the peasants in the grain districts have been so badly treated by the bolshevist requisitioning par ties that the government simply couldn't continue the small rations it was issuing on cards. So it was told us to do for ourselves job which it could not accomplish with all it's power and military force.
 "The establishment of free trade and the announcement that government restrictions have been reduced will not put food into cities which have no supplies. which have no adequate railway connections with grain districts and no means of reconciling peasants who attribute most of their troubles to the two great cities In Russia and want to starve them outl

u. S. WORKERS
TO REORCAN|zE
Regrouping Of &C. Locals Along
Trade Union Lines Is New
Suggestion.

A reorganization OF the Washing
ton locals OF the National Federation
OF Federal Employees along the
trades union idea OF grouping like
crafts and classes OF employment
into separate organizations was sug-
gested today by the action OF the
men . bureau OF the Treasury branch
OF Local No. 2 In applying for .
separate charter.
WOULD INCLUDE FIVE GROUPS.
In following such a plan the pres
ent membership OF the locals in THU
city would be regrouped TO include
the following unions. Clerical. trades
men. technical and scientific, profes
sional and unskiAed labor.
The two arguments presented for
such an organization are that the pres
ent organization OF Local No. 2 has
because OF It's extensive growth be-
come unwieidy and that a local with
a membership OF like interests would
work In closer harmony.
NOW THIRTY BRANCHES.
Local No. . now has nearly thirty
separate branches throughout the
Government departments. Practically
every branch combines a membership
OF a variety OF activities. In ono
branch may be found members who
may be anything from laborers up to
technical and scientific employees. 1t
Is held that such a mixture cannot
work effectively because OF divided
Interests.
The plan above proposed has been
given careful consideration by the
executive committee of Local No. .,
which committee realizes that the
present handling of the 10000 mem
bership OF the union has become a
complex problem and that some re-
organization Is necessary Il the most
effective work is to be done.

CHARGESNAWBASF
IS SOCIAL STRATEGY.
Alameda, CaI., Chosen Over
Mare Island Because of ParIor
Proximity, Says Curry.

The selection of Alameda, San
Francisco Bay, as site for the pro-
posed Pacific coast naval base means
that the taxpayers are to be called
upon to pay out 500, 100000 TO enable
the naval officers assigned to the
base or attached to the Pacific feet
to mingle with least difficulty in the
social life of San Francisco and Oak
land, Congressman Curry OF Califor-
mia, charged yesterday.
with the expenditure OF S35,000, 900
the present $4,000, 900 naval plant at
Mare Island, San Francisco bay. can
be made as complete and will be far
better than the proposed plant at
Alameda. But Mare Island is two
hours from San Francisco and Oak
land. and there Is no high society at
Vallejo, the little town close to Mare
Island navy yard" declared Curry.
Capt. II. NJ. Gleason, formerly sta
toned at Mare Island, today stated
that there is no weight in the argu-
ment that Mare Island can be ap-
preached only through "tortuous"
channel. for the channel is plainly
marked and Is straighter and better
than the channels to other navy
yards. He further states that solid
rock foundation for the dry docks
can be had at Mare Island, and bor-
ings have failed to disclose solid
foundation at AlamadR.
THE upkeep of a separate plant at
Alamada will be about $3,000.000
year." he estimated. THAT is a 6
per cent interest on $50, ,00O. 900. and
represents the additional cost OF Ala
media over Mare Island as q site for
the naval base" he said.
He thinks that Mare Island has the
further advantage over Alameda OF
being safer from the guns of a hostile
fleet because OF Its distance from the
Golden Gate
