TO END ALLIED
Debt PROBLEMS
Funding Plan Hopeless
Proposition
(speeIaI to the Daily WOrker.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. TO-
The world war foreign debt
commission will meet within six
weeks to consider ways and
means to open funding negotia-
tions between the United States
and the European nations, IT
was learned today at the trezs-
ury department.
Inspired reports have already
been issued to the effect that
France is considering the des-
patch of emissaries to this
country to take up the matter
of the debt, but these reports
have been denied from Paris.
Say Dawes Plan Is Basis.
The statement is made in official
quarters that the Dawes plan will so
revive Germany as to enable her to
pay the reparations assigned to the
allied nations, in turn giving them an
opportunity to repay the debts to
America.
Nothing of the kind will, however,
happen. The revival Of German in
dustry and commerce will not be per-
mitted by the United States financiers
who will control the operation of the
Dawes plan, thru owen Young, since
it will set up a competitor to this
country, as well as to the other pow
ers, which will be to the detriment
of the interests of the capitalists.
1t is pointed out that should Ger
many be permitted by America to in
crease its productive powers, it would
begin looking for markets to dispose
of them, and will eventually come in
to conflict with the interests of the
United States and England in parti-
cular. The truth is that the Dawes
plan will not permit the development
of German industry and commerce,
but has been put into effect in or
der to give American capitalism a
firm hold on German industrial life,
regulating it to suit its own pocket.
Presumption Is False.
Inc DEBT 1undlng commission Is OBJ
viously not going on the premise, de-
spite official statements, that the
Dawes plan will furnish the allies
with sufficient Preparations payments
to return the money borrowed from
the United States.
The funding commission PROPOSE
ton will fail to reach any lasting de-
cision en- the debt question, unless
additional pressure is applied to
France, thru Morgan who has extend
ed them great loan, to come thru
with some money. Feelers have al
ready been put forth on this proposal
and lIerriot has been consulting with
his ministry Of finance in order to
work out some means OF getting a
new arrangement into effect.

PERSHING MAY

lSpeciai 10 tne Daily WoTketI
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. TO-
A movement was started here
today at the sixth annual con-
Vention of the American Legion
to elect John j. Pershing, just
retired as chief of staff of the
American army, as the national
commander of the organization
in place of John r. Quinn, out
going commander.
The election of Pershing
rests solely on his desire to ac-
cept, say numerous delegates,
and if blackjack" should say
the word, it is said, the conven-
ton will overwhelmingly vote
him into office as the head of
the legion.
Is Notorious ReaetIonary.
Pershing is one of the most 1iotori
Gus reactionaries and militarists that
this country has yet produced. Elec
tions take place Friday.
The feature of today's session OF
the convention was the address of
John J. Tigert, federal commissioner
of education, who lauded the legion's
activity in sponsoring educational
work" The educational work of the
legion has mostly consisted in spread.
ing capitalist militarist IDEAS and 10

italists of America against the work
ers whenever they were needed.
1t is being persistently rumored
here that this convention of the legion
will definitely put the organization
into politics. "Hell-an' Maria Dawes,
vice-presidential candidate of the re.
publican party, is here, ostensibly as
rank and file" member of the le-
gion, ready to march in parades with
the members of his post, Evanston.
Those on the inside, however, are
predicting that Dawes presence indf
Gates that there is a plan to have the
legion get into national politics as an
organization, endorsing the candidates
that it chooses. A dinner will be Civ.
en- the would-be Fascist tonight and
he will review the legion parade in
the afternoon.
If the legion enters politics there
is absolutely no doubt in anyone's
mind, but that it will enter as a re-
dictionary force, lining up with any
candidate or party that has the most
labor-hating candidates or platform
and the most militarist principles
The republican party is most general
ly favored, and the fight for national
commander, the election of Pershing
may largely hinge on the fact that he
is staunch upholder of the G. o. r.

is the impending danger.
"a Connecticut comrade writes
thus: our party members are join
ing the LaFollette clubs and neglect

And why not? The socialist party
on the admission OF such leading
figure as Morris Hillquit accepts La
Follette's quack remedies as the es

socialist party members patronize az

OAKLAND Chief
COP WON'T LET
FOSTER SPEAK
Communists Will Hold
Meeting AnyhOw
BY JAMES H. DOLSEN.
Special to The DAILY WORKER.)

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER.)
OAKLAND, Calf, Sept. TO-
Declaring savageIy that mo
God-damned Communists are
going to speak in our auditor
ium," Chief of Police Drew, of
this city, has blocked the rental
of the Civic Auditorium ball
room to the local Workers Party
for a Foster mass meeting. The
hall had been originally rented
to the party for the 30th.
Unwittingly, however, the
chief has made a laughingstock
out of himself, for meanwhile
the promoters of the meeting
had taken the precaution of Sc
curing the right to another hall.
Accordingly, the meeting for
William z. Foster Sept. 80 has
been switched to the neighbor-
ing city of Berkeley, where it
will be held in the magnificent
High School auditorium, at Ais
ton Way and Grove Street.
Fooled the Chief.
AS any Oakland citizen by a few
minutes ride on street car can reach
the hall. it is expected it will be
packed to the doors, largely with Oak
landers who will thus enjoy Fosters
address despite the hysterical out
burst of their local guardians of the
peace.
The revocation of the grant of the
hall here came about thru an investi-
cation which the city department re-
sponsible for it asked of the police.
The chief of police, Drew, in his let
ter recommending the hall be not
granted, showed his familiarity with
the DAILY WORKER by quoting in
full from the issue of July 2, tele-
gram from Moscow announcing that
two seasoned revolutionists," Foster
and Ruthenberg, had been elected to
the Executive Committee of the Com
munist international. He then refer.
red to Fosters trial in Michigan, stat
ing that the cease was still pending
and to my own arrest here for Grim
inal syndicalism in 1919.
After a short interview with chief
Drew in which he literally damned the
Communists and everything Commun-
list, / drew up letter in the name of
the Workers Party of this District,
protesting to the board of city com
misioners against allowing this pre-
cedent to stand.
Press Demands Freedom.
Copies of the letter were released
for publicity and the whole matter has
been taken up by the local capitalist
press. The Scripps McRae local pa
per, the Daily News, editorially asks
the citizens of this city to see that
Foster is allowed to speak.
The city administration here is very
reactionary The commissioners are
strong for Coolidge and it is reliably
reported that with one possible excep
ton, they belong to the Ku-nightshirt
brigade. The Better America Fedora
ton is active as is the California Man
ufacturers' Assn.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. TO-
Down with MussoIini!" Long
live Matteotti!" were the cries
that greeted the Italian world
flyer, LocatelIi, a vicious Fascist
when he descended from the
train at West Philadelphia.
Not only were there about
100 bankers, business men, cor
respondents and the consul to
meet him, but also about a
dozen Italian members of the
Workers Party. More did not
come since it took place in the
afternoon and the other COM
rades were at work.
Run For Help.
The IL comrades made dash up to
Locatelli and the 100 bourgeois ran
for police help. Locatelli was spirited
away by the cops in taxicab and TAX
en- to his hotel, the Palumbi.
At this hotel, he was met by some
1000 workers who by that time had
gathered to greet this Fascist gentle
man in the proper manner. With cries
of Down with Fascist. Locatelli, y
they rushed at him with boos and
jeers, and began to give the Fascist
sympathizers a little dose Of their

Beat Up Worker.
The cops came to rescue OF the
blackshirts. One Russian comrade
was badly beaten up by the police
and seven Italian comrades were ar
rested with him. They are comrades
Morelli, Digiovanni, Bresi, Peronacci,
Agent, Didonato and Recchia.
The crowd dispersed finally with
the singing OF The Red Flag and The
Internationale. The police, fearing an
other demonstration OF the workers,
set up q Gordon around the hotel
while Locatelli was feted by the local
bankers and business men.
The demonstration OF the Commu-
nists in Philadelphia is similar to one
held against Locatelli in New York
