Merchant Marine,
Bonus and Tariff
Work for Congress

Washington, Dec. 26-Legislative
plans for the present session of Con-
gress call for the enactment of bills
to encourage the merchant marine,
to provide some sort of bonus pay
ment to former service men, enact
permanent tariff schedules and pro-
vide the regular appropriations
which sustain the government, Rep
resentative Mondell, Republican
House leader, said today on leaving
the White House after a conference
with President Harding.
There are no definite proposals on
the merchant marine or soldiers
bonus which can be said to have the
approval of the ma iority at this time,
Mr. Mondell said, but the outline of
subjects TO be taken up includes both
matters. Every endeavor will be
made in the House, he added, to have
all the appropriation bills. which
originate there, enacted by April
], so as to give the Senate time to
consider them on final passage and
adjourn the Congress in June.
The question of finding the sources
diers' bonus. the House leader as
serted. was the chief stumbling blocla
of proposals for such bill. Enact
| ment of such { measure. he added,
would probably require simultaneous
creation of special tax to meet the
outlay. Mr.. Mondell said he did not
| discuss with the President the "re-
muneration plan," for subsidizing
| merchant ship operation, and he ex-
pressed the view that considerable
discussion would be required before
congressional leaders could adopt a
plan of action on such a measure.
There is a possibility that Presi-
| dent Harding will leave Washington
| before the new year for a three days
trip to Pinehurst, n. c., but no
definite decision as to plans had been
reached tonight.

.REEKING RED TALK
AT WORKERS PARTY
MEETING, new YORK

New York, Dec. 26-Steve Burch-
er, New Jersey delegate to the con-
vention called for organization of the
Workers Party of America, who pre-
sided with policemans billy at yes
terday's noisy session, took the chair
today with bowling pin for a gavel.
A preliminary rap, and the conven-
ton proceeded with the work of
adopting constitution for an or
ganization dedicated to the over
throw of the present government and
substitution of a workers republic.
There followed an address by
"Comrade" Bill Dunn of Montana, a
former /. w. w. leader, in which he
predicted the ultimate success of the
Russian revolution and the spread of
communism throughout the world.
He added that it was becoming
fashionable to believe that some sort
OF capitalism is sprnging up in Rus
sia''
I'VE are meeting here in security
or at least in fancied security" he
continued. land up to the present
none OF the forces of capitalism,
either through the government or
otherwise, has interfered with us. AS
a matter of fact, no radical body has
been raided within the last two years
and some of us seem to think that
the history of the war has died down.
But is that true?"
He then declared that the reason
for the lack Of raids was because the
radical element had banded together
and fought back.
After citing the incident at Cen
tralia, Wash, he said:
"Bloodshed is always deplora BILE
1t is a terrible thing for men and
women to have to die when life is
sweet. But it is always better to die
fighting than it is to be kicked to
DEATH"
Wild applause followed.

Officials of the post Office department
left their desks tonight convinced
that the American people had begun

While the nearly one third million
persons in the postal service stag
gered under a load which appears,
when viewed as statistics, to be the
largest volume Of Christmas mail in
history, reports from several thou
sand divisional and minor Offices
showed plainly, it was declared, that
the mails had been moved smoothly
and with dispatch and above all
without the usual peak.
DIR. Hubert Work, first assistant
postmaster general. declared that
this was due to the fine to-operation
of the people and the splendid, eff
cient service of the employees" The
response to Postmaster General
Hays appeal for an early mailing of
Christmas packages was more
hearty than we could have hoped"

SUBMARINE DEADLOCK MAY
LEAD TO LATER CONFERENCE
With SAY OF OTHER NATIONS
Talk Of Another Confer
enCe Seven Years Hence
With More Countries

| The proposal to write into the na-
val limitations treaty an agreement
| for reassembling the conference of
the powers. probably seven years
hence, has begun to take more def
mite form over the Christmas recess.
An informal exchange of views among
the American, British and French
| delegates has developed a feeling that
by that time, it may be possible to
work out an extension of the naval
holiday in the light CT seven year
test of the agreement which made it
possible. In any event, it has been
said, there will be details to work oup
of the program that is to replace the
I10-year fleet status with actual ap-,
plication of the five five three" cap
itaI ship ratio.
1t also appeared more probable to-
night that some definite step toward
a world conference on submarines I
probably to be held within three
years after the Washington confer
ence ends it labors, would be taken
within the next day or two. Exactly
what form it will take is in doubt,
pending final action here on sub
marines and it is certain that the
American delegation plans to exhaust
every effort to bring about an agree,
ment as to submarine tonnage which
will result in actual reduction OF tom
mage and delimitation of future sub.
marine building programs before.

See Hand Mexico
Against United States

Washington, Dec. 25.-While seek
ing American recognition of the OBJ
regon Government, Mexico has been
conducting propaganda in various
parts Of Latin America for alienation
of the friendship of these countries
from the United States and their de-
finite alignment with Mexico, accord
ing to reports that are coming out
through ell-informed American and
Latin American sources.
These reports have it that at no
time sirce Carranza conceived his
hatred of the United States, has the
campaign of propaganda initiated by
him abated. The campaign, it is as
serted, may be divided into three
phases. as follows:
/. The attempts to induce the sec
ession of Los Altos, that part of
Guatemala adjoining Mexico OF the
west coast and its annexation to
Mexico.
>. The support of the movement
for a federation of Central America
and it's eventual union with Mexico.
g. The sending of diplomatic re-
presentatives to the Central Amer
lean countries with instructions to
work for federation. Mexican suprem-
acy and hostility toward the United
States.
Evidence of this conduct on the
part of the Mexican Government is
said to be in the files of the State
Department and to have been care
fully studied by American officials.
DR.. Carlos F. Secord, an American
who lived for many years in Guate-
mala until after the Herrera Govern
ment came into power, is quoted as
authority for a portion of the Mex
lean campaign that is not generally
known.-Spacial to y. y. Times.
