EQUALITY FOR
NEGROES ASKED
Third Internati0nale at Moscow to
Concentrate Work for Cause
in America

Moscow, Dec. 1.-(By the Associ-
ated Press)-The Third Interna-
ticnale has adopted a resolution
declaring that the United States is
destined to play an important part
IN the struggle OF the African race
for liberty and that inasmuch as
America today is the center of the
negro culture it is there that the
Communist campaign to bring free
dom to all negroes should be con-
centrated.
The resolution was drawn up by
a special commission, one of
whose members was an American
negro who has been active in cham
pionlng the negro cause. He has
been aided by several whites in the
United States.
The resolution declares that the
negro cause has become live is
sue in connection with efforts to-
ward world revolution. The reso-
luton pledges the Internationale to
strive for the equality Of negroes
and whites and for the full political
and social freedom of the African
race.
1.-THE Communists will use all
their power with trade unions" it
continues, ITO admit negroes as
members. As an alternative the
Internationale will organize spec
ial negro unions to further the
cause
Detailing negro history in
America. the resolution asserts
that the Civil war was merely a
struggle between Capitalists of the
North and South.

day were seeking George Cedna, Of
Silyis, ILL.,, following the death ear
" today of Nick Refchovich, shot
by Cetina late yesterday in q quar-
rel following a card game.
Tisador Pievach was shot
through the hand by Cetina, when
the latter continued to fire as wit
nesses were attempting to wrest
the gun from him. Reich0vich was
the father Of four children.
George Cetina and Nick Reicho-
vich, both formerly resided in Sill
Wis and were employed in the shops
OF the Rock Island Lines. They
walked out with other employees Of
the shops when the strike was de-
clared in July. and were idle until
several weeks ago when they had
opportunity to 60 to Clinton to
work In the shops OF the North
western railroad.
Cetina, his friends in Silvis say,
has six children. and Reichovich
has four children.
The report that Cetfna was in
Silvis last night turned out to be
unfounded. Police of Silvis and
East Moline have kept a sharp
lookout for the man, but have found
no trace OF him; neither could any
of Cetina's Silvis friends be found
who had seen him.

Detective Henry Moeller, said to
have accepted hush" money from
two soft drink bar proprietors in
the west end of Davenport, today
asserted his innocence, announced
that he will demand hearing be-
fore the police commission in Dav-
export, and threatened to tell of
officers who had been accepting
money for protection of bars.
Three affidavits were filed against
Moeller Wednesday night asserting
that he had organized protection
ring" of his own, which had netted
him $3.50. A. ]. Judisch, soft drink
bar proprietor, in an affidavit told
of a demand for $3.50 hush" money
and a compromise upon payment of

porting affidavit and Arthur Myers,
another bar proprietor, said he paid
$50 to avoid arrest.

PLAN REVEALED
Federal Loan Board to Be Utilized
for More Liberal Credits; .
Limit to BE Increased.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The admin
istratioThad ready today a definite
program of legislation for the finan-
cial relief of farmers formulated in
agreement with senate leaders and
to be pressed at the short session
of congress. Approved at confer
ence yesterday between President
Harding, Secretary Wallace and Is
Republican senators, headed by
Senator Lodge and Senator Watson,
the program contemplates utiliza-
ton Of the federal farm loan board
for extension OF more liberal cred
its, both as to interest rates and
time, to meet the present agricul-
tural necessity.
1t is proposed, by use Of the farm
loan board as the medium Of gov
eminent relief to make it available
to the thousands of small farmers
who need it and who have not shar-
ed previously as have the larger
grain and cattle producers. in the
credit relief afforded by the war
finance corporations, because OF the
limitation under which it has oper-
ated. Specifically the plan pro-
poses an increase in the maximum
loan limit Of the federal farm banks
from $4,000 to $4,000, and of the
farm loan act to provide for the
rediscount of agricultural produc-
ton and marketing paper. with a
maximum credit period of three
years. and creation of division in
the farm hank system to deal spe-
cifically with this class Of credits.
Provision for the voluntary crea-
ton of livestock and agricultural
credit associations to deal primar-
lily with livestock loans also is pro-
posed.
