FORCE REVERSAL
OF WAR PACTS
Warsaw Regime De-
serts Roumania, France
Especial to Tn. Daily Worker,

WARSAW, April 6.-The Soviet
government has won another diplo-
matte victory in getting Poland to
agree to withdraw support from
Roumania in the event of hostilities
with Russia.
The Polish government is reso-
lutely opposed to any further as
sistance to Roumania despite French
pressure; it is DESTROYS Of resuming
trade relations with Russia at the
earliest possible moment and in
well-informed political circles here
it is said that there is visible lately
much distrust of France growing out
of the bad economic situation into
which the military expenditures
made under French direction have
plunged the Poles. The working
class parties are urging the govern
ment to accede to the Soviet gov
ernment's request for joint COM
mission to re-draw the Galician
frontier and it is believed that the
government will yield to this de-
mand.
Recent developments here indi-
cate that Roumania has been isolated
except for French support and in
her controversy with Soviet Russia
over Bessarabia she will get little
or no support. 1t is not believed
that even France will aid Roumania
in her territorial demands to the
extent of waging war.
The breakdown in Germany has
forced Poland to look towards Rus
STA for economic relief but it is the
pressure of the Polish working-class
whose discomfort was expressed in
mass strikes few months ago that
is responsible for the new attitude
of the Polish government. Polish
imperialism under French guidance
has proved a failure and the dis
trust Of Soviet Russia is being re-
placed by distrust of French mill
tarism.

Squelching the Dope Probe.
The horror of this drug traffic
among the convicts-a branch of the
nationwide activities of the narcotic
ring, which takes millions in profits
each year from these human wrecks
in the slums of American towns and
in jails and hospitals-struck home
to the committee as perhaps no
other feature of the Shiny record of
"normalcy" in government.
Dyche found the prisons, when
sent there by Daugherty as warden,
to be filled with drug addicts, to
whom dope was sold by prison
guards. These guards were agents
Of druggists, who were in turn
agents of men higher up in the drug
smuggling ring. He made repeated
appeals to Votaw, who was bro
ther-in-law of President Harding, to
stop the drug peddling.
Finally Votaw caused Burns to
start an investigation. When this
investigation was we'll under way,
Dyche was summoned by Daugherty
to Washington, and there he spent
an hour with Daugherty and Votaw
in aimless discussion-by Daugherty
and Votaw-of the danger and harm
in publicity thru this probe by
Burns men.
Dyche Forced to Resign.
Daugherty was cold toward the
suggestion that the investigation be
pushed and crime stopped within the
walls of the federal prison. Burns
men were withdrawn. Burns. placed
on the stand by Senator Wheeler,
admitted that his men had begun to
run down the connection between the
prison guards and the wealthy heads
of the dope ring, when they were
called off. He said the evidence they
had gathered resulted in the indict-
ment of several guards, but the trial
resulted in hung juries.
"If you had continued that inves-
LEGATION, would you in all probability
have traced the dope traffic to the
very heads Of the conspiracy that
covers this country, the narcotic
ring?" Wheeler asked.
II am sure we would have run
it down to that source and located
the men at the top" replied Burns.
"Votaw stopped it; did not pro-
test"
Dyche was called to Washington
a month later. Finally he was given
the hint that he should resign. He
did resign, and Daugherty asked
Prohibition Director Haynes to give
him a job. The assistant warden
remains in the prison, ana Dyche and
Burns agree that the drug addicts
are still buying dope.
More Crooked Stuff.
Much less serious in the scale of
offenses, as measured by Daugherty
standards was the agreement of
E. II. Mortimer, intimate associate
Of former Director Forbes of the
veterans bureau and member Of the
gang, to secure a communication of
sentence for Charles Vincent Of
Baltimore, then in Atlanta prison,
for $4,000. A photostatic copy Of
the offer Of Vincent, and the signed
acceptance of Mortimer, was offered
in evidence by Wheeler. Mortimer's
former wife identified his signature
on this document. Vincent did not
get the Communication.
