will distribute posters for display

Therefore, Gilbert's letter questions
the legality Of Britain, France and

counter-offensive at Paris and Lon
don.
The negotiations between France
and Germany over trade agreements
were recently broken off by Herriot's
agent insisting that the French have
a perfect right to collect reparations
themselves thru this 26 per cent tax,
the German agent holding out that it
should be turned over to the Dawes

Saturday the quarrel again broke out.
China charged that if the great pow
ers wanted to reduce opium smoking
in the Far East they could do it with
out continually insulting China.
Great Britain, it was claimed, had
made no move to suppress the opium
trade in any of her colonies. India
is encouraged to grow and export as
well as use opium. In Hongkong the
English government actually makes
opium itself and sells it. In Sand
akan, Malaysia. the opium parlors are
numerous and apparently encouraged
to make the Malays contented with
their lot. In Egypt the peddlers Of
cocaine hawk it on the streets and at
it used openly and, without hindrance
from English authority.
Japan Defends chlna's Stand
English corporations are making
millions in the traffic. The English
government gets part of it's funds
from the taxes laid upon it. Japan
took up the defense Of China and in
sisted that countries which export
opium should recognize the import
certificates issued by other nations.
Sir Malcolm DeleVingne, speaking
for England, revealed that there had
been some secert negotiations con-
corning the export and trans-shipment
of opium going on between Japan and
England. and he said he is astonished
that Japan should raise the question
here, implying that the conference
was merely talking to hoodwink the
peoples of the world, while the real
agreement was expected to go on
secretly.

MAYOR PRAISES
NC ANDREWS
SCHOOL POLICIES
Next President of School
BoardMust Support Him

The Chicago Teachers Federation
was given a slap in the face yester-
day by Mayor Dever, who deliberately
issued a statement praising Superin-
tendent McAndrew's work on the
school board Immediately after the
blow McAndrew hit at the federation
by abolishing teachers councils.
President Must Support McAndrew
Mayor Dever, whose duty it is to
appoint new president on the school
board when Moderwell leaves Feb. /,
said he will take particular pains to
secure someone whose work will be In
line with the policies of Supt. Nc
Andrew. He then proceeded to inform
US that it was Moderwel whom he
had to thank for securing McAndrew
on the school board and it was due to
Moderwell's influence that the board
backed up McAndrew's recommends
tions.
Dever and McAndrew In Same Caucus
The teachers councils, which the
federation has won only after bitter
struggle, was wiped out with one
stroke Of McAndrews pen which was
backed by big business and their
lackeys.
Perhaps this will teach the Chicago
Teachers Federation that it is a
tremendous waste OF their valuable
time to bother with Mayor Dever or
for that matter anyone whose in
terests are on the other side of the
fight. Mayor Dever admits he belongs
to McAndrew's caucus.
Keep Councils in Their Hearts.
At the last meeting of the Teachers
Federation, Margaret Haley told the
teachers that even If they lost the
councils they could still keep them in
their hearts. When the next attack
on the teachers comes and salaries
are reduced, perhaps they can console
themselves then too by keeping their
salaries in their hearts.
One Of the teachers told the DAILY
WORKER the McAndrew regularly
makes MS rounds IN the class rooms
to drop little notes on the desk OF
the teachers who have been marked
for dismissal for showing too much
spunk. These notes inform the
teacher that 1t would be advisable for
her to take permanent leave of abb
sence.
The Teachers Federation will hold
a mass meeting OF protest soon The
date has not yet been set. A com
mittee was appointed TO invite Mayor
Dever to attend this meeting.

Lewis Goes to Fl Paso.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. TO-
That John L. Lewis is going to the
American Federation OF Labor to
swing the big stick over Gompers is
freely prophesied here despite the de
malls given at the U. M. w. Of A. head
quarters.
A Delegate Goes Forth to War.
At the miners union Offices the dis
claimer is made that Lewis is going
to Ell Paso as a contender for the pres
idency of the A. F. of L. against Sam
uel Gompers. Lewis is going strictly
as delegate and not as candidate
for president Of the organization" say
the men in headquarters.
It is not so certain, however, that
Lewis is going to stop his opposition
to Gompers. In fact, reports are cur
rent that Lewis, even tho he does not
now want the presidency Of the A. r.
Of L. himself-in expectation that he
will soon be appointed secretary Of la.
Dor by Coolidge, whom he supported
in the campaign-he will, none the
less, fight Gompers and try TO install
man OF his own group in the chair
Of Gompers, perhaps William Green
now on the executive council Of the
A. r. Of l.. as its third vice-president.
John L. Plays Indian.
At the headquarters Of the U. M. w.
Of A. here, 1t was admitted with some
cautious smiles, that while they knew
nothing OF Lewis having any intention
Of opposing the reelection Of Com.
pers, there had been some agitation
among certain labor groups" to favor
Lewis as Sammys successor.
But II all SINNERS down to the fact
that Lewis, as a supporter OF Cool
idge, has his nife out for Gompers'
scalp, whether he win hand the tro
ply over TO another or not. The only
thing that may prevent the conflict Is
surrender by Gompers upon a com
promise to keep the appearance OF
peace

DIPLOMATIC DOVE COTE DISTURBED

Japan had broken off the negotiations,
preferring to bring matters to a head
openly in the league conference. So
much excitement ensued that it looked
as If the meeting would break up in
row. Sir Malcolm got nasty and be-
gan to talk about "a certain country"
where hig officials were arrested for
completely in an opium scandal.
Sugimura jumped up and declared
that he knew what country was meant
by the innuendo, but that the guilty
officials have been properly punished,
whereas he knew of many cases and
could produce evidence of crimes com
mitted by officials Of other govern
ments in the opium trade, but that
it was rotten politics and he wouldn't
do it. Campbell, the Indian" dele
gate, spoke up for England and said
that Japan had made threat The
conference broke up without any de-
cision.
TIENTSIN, China.-American and
British interests are doing all in
their power to stimulate a break be-
tween the captor of Picking, Feng Yu-
hslang, and Chang Tso-lin, now ar
irving here for the conference which
is supposed to settle the future line
up Of China.
Strong indications that Sun Vat
Sen will be agreed upon by both Feng
and Chang as the president of China,
disturb the British-American interests
and diplomats. These are trying to
persuade Feng to oppose Chang and
Sun and re-join the defeated WI Pei
Flu who under American and British
guidance and aid, is trying to raise
his forces in Central China to attack
the holders of Picking.
