GERMAN RULERS
APOLOGIZE TO
SOVIET RUSSIA
Beg Pardon and Pay
Bills for Raid
to the DAILY WORKER,


BERLIN, July 81. = The Marx
Stresemann government has extended
its formal apologies to the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics for the po-
lice raid on the Soviet embassy in
Berlin last Spring. Damages will be
paid.
This surrender by the capitalist
government means that diplomatic re-
|lations between the two countries
will be resumed from the point where
they were interrupted May 8. Rus
sia's international prestige is en-
|hanced by her victory in the negotia-
lions.
The Berlin government agrees to
pay for all material damage sustained.
The onus for the raid is put on the
police officer in charge and this indi-
vidual has been dismissed from the
force. The ex-territoriality of the
Soviet commercial Office is recognized
and the German government promises
that it will seek to effect a CONNER
cial treaty with Russia.
The May 3 raid was characterized
by a ruthless disregard of diplomatic
rights. Desks were forced open and
state documents were seized which
the government authorities expected
to use in anti-Communist propaganda.
The German governments policy Of
putting the blame on the police is re-
garded as the easiest way out. Rus
sian representatives, however, do not
believe that the assault will be
repeated. The German government
has too much to lose by such a course.

Birth Control is
Putting Kinks in
California Census

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 31-Spe-
cial Agent w. H. Lackey of the fed
eral census bureau has arrived in Sa-
cramento to investigate the birth con-
troll movement in California. At least,
that is the reason he gives for recent
statistics showing that California has
more mothers than any other state,
but these mothers have fewer chill
dren. He finds 81 per cent of the mar
ried women in California have chill
dren, as against 83 per cent else
where, but there are 267 children per
100 mothers, as against 300 per 100 in
the rest of the country 1.-The differ
ence is due to practical birth control"
says Lackey.

by fourteen inches and made of
strong metal, and black lettering on a
yellow background displays the text
to advantage.
The fishermen are told that the
fires dry up streams. the woodsmen
are warned that burned forests mean
no. work for them, and the hunters
are informed that fires drive out and
kill game. Thus it is a personal
to each class of men who frequent

A poem lovely as tree:
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast:
4 tree that looks at God all day.
And lifts her leafy arms to pray:
A tree that may i'm summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like NEE,
But only God can make a tree.
THE tree is indispensable to modern
life. The products of our forests are
used daily by all citizens, and we sell

these products enter into the life of
