NAUGHTY JUNK
ERS BEG FOR
SYMP PATHY
BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER

Federated Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN-The incredible thing has
happened. The jUnkers of Germany,
the big landholders, who have been
holding their annual convention in
Berlin these days, invited the foreign
correspondents, especially from the
United States, Great Britain and
Holland, to a tea at which they So
icited the sympathy of the outside
world for their situation, which they
describe as desperate.
To understand this, one must re-
member that these are the simon
pure 100 per cent naticnalists who
only half a year ago disdained ask
ing for foreign publicity. Germany
for the Germans" was their motto;
they had no use for foreigners, Jews,
or for any policy of international un-
derstanding.
The reason for now calling in for
eign correspondents. who were regal
ed with delicious pork and ham and
egg sandwiches, expensive liquors
and genuine tea and coffee while be-
ing harangued on the "grave distress
of our fatherland," was evidently to
solicit foreign credits, to complain
Of the labor policy, and to maintain
that the latest taxes upon the big
agrarian estates We're prohibitive.
The big landlords want foreign
credits through the rentenbank, but
complain that they must pay too
much into that rentenbank, since the
6 per cent mortgage levied upon
their property is based on the pre-
war assessments. An inquisitive Eng
lish correspondent interposed, hcwev-
er to say that the junkers were not
telling how their fixed property (such
as bars, implements, etc. had in
creased in value during the imitation
period.
JUNKERS FURIOUS OVER TAXES
The junkers are furious because
the farm workers secured the eight
hour day during the revolution and
got rid Of feudalism.
The biggest squeal emitted by the
junkers was taxes. By erecting
houses, barns and other improve
ments which increase the value of
their estates tremendously. they es-
capped paying taxes Cn a large part
of their fortunes, while the city wage
Gamer and the government official
had his income tax deducted regular
ly every payday. The new taxes un-
der the state-of-emergency law will,
IT drastically administered, make the
Junker comes across. But he is find
ing little sympathy in the rest of
Germany.

AMERICAN OIL INTER-
ESTS CONSPIRE TO AN
Mex NORTH MEXICO
By E. G. WOLFE
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY-"The Mexican
government possesses sufficient infor-
nation to show that the principal di-
rectOrs of the oil company Aguila
(the Eagle) frankly lent their aid
to the recent rebellion led by AdolfO
de la HUerta."
This statement is made by Presi-
dent ObregOn to the press. El Agui-
la gave all sorts of facilities to the
rebels while cbstructing the govern
ment forces. At the same time evil
dence that American oil interests
want to separate northern Mexico
from the rest of the country is at
hand.
Great emphasis has been placed on
the influence of foreign capital in the
recent Mexican rebellion The re-
beliion was for the most part a final
attempt of the landed interests to-
regain complete control of Mexico
But it was also a part of the world
struggle between the British owned
Royal Dutch Shell (of which FL
Aguila is a subsidiary and Ameri-
can Standard Oil.
BRITISH AID REBELS
The charges that American oil aid
ed de la Huerta in his rebellion are
questionable. On the advice of A.
b. Fall DCheny's Huasteca oil CON
cern advanced 100000 pesos (S5,-
000,000) to the Mexican government.
Secondly the facts recently discover
ed point Enthusiastically to British aid
to the rebels
AMERICANS INTERFERE
L, L. MI II Il
the whole group of American oil in
terests have made one assault after
another upon the sovereignty of
Mexico. The whole country is rock
ing with the exposure in Ell Univer-
sal GraficO. Words fail to describe
the gall of the American imperialist.
Nothing less than the shameless po-
litical conquest of the whole north
oil MexicO-all the oil lands-would
satisfy these hungry souls. The plot
Of Fall aimed at the political sepera-
tlOn Of Lower California, Sonora, !
Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, !
and Tamaulipas, including the port !
of Tampico, from Mexico. The plan !
was to make a revolution and then
the United States was to recognize |
all these seeded states. They are
the states richest in oil.
START IN 1915
As early as 1915 kilograms from
the files of the Doheny's Huasteca |
company showed an attempt at the
partitioning by Americon oil inter |
ests. While this plot was in forma-
ton DOheny was saying that Mexi- |
can oil lands were worthless because
salt water was entering.
McADOO INVESTMENT GOOD
The money spent by American oil |
on VIM. G. McAdoo and George CreeI I
and A. Mitchell Palmer has not gone |
20 waste, for through their efforts
article 27 of the Mexican constitution
las been mCzzled. The Mexican gov
ernment, under the severe pressure
If DOheny and Sinclair, has decided |
not to make this article, which would
nave recovered untold mineral plum
Ter for the nation, retroactive.

HARD COAL MONEY
TO BURN

WILKES BARRE Pa.-There's
to be another melon cutting par
ty in the coal industry. Stock
holders Of the Lehigh & Wilkes
Barre Coal Co., one of the larg-
est of Morgan's anthracite COM
blne, have just voted for a 200
per cent stock dividend. And
when the directors get around to
declaring it the slices will be dis
trlbuted to the small wealthy
clique who have owned the an
thracite industry since the 189O's
and have made pretty sure that
the gilt edged securities did not
get out into plebian hands.
The directors last year declar-
ed a $40 cash dividend on each
$50 share, or so per cent hard
coal profit. This corporation pro
duces over 100000 tons of the
country's annual hard coal sup
ply.

1t was President Harding's favor
ite word to describe the activities of
his administration.
Comes now a description of the
Harding administration:
"as the most corrupt regime in the
history Of the country x a
seamy side of history for which one
seeks in vain q parallel short of the
intrigue of the most corrupt Euro
pean courts of the 18th century"
The quoted words are from a re-

THE OKLAHOMA
KINCMAKER

Washington.-Al Jennings, ex-
train robber, evangelist, politician
and real estate dealer, recited to
the senate public lands committee,
with every appearance of frankness,
a story cf the NapoleOnic dream of
the late Jake HamOn that the oil
interests in Oklahoma could buy the
white house for Hamon himself.
ANYTHING FROM OKLAHOMA
PROBABLE
Were it not for the fact that Okla
homa has sent to Washington during
the last 20 years some of the most
bizarre characters with the most
primitive ideas of political ethics
that have ever entered public life in
this country, the Jennings testimony
might seem less reasonable. But
against the background of the actual
political record of Oklahoma and
several other states in the southwest
the story cf lannon's plan to pro-
mote himself by means of a cabinet
job into the presidency of the United
States could not be rejected offhand.
HAMON BEFRIENDS JENNINGS
Jennings said that Hamon was the
first lawyer to offer him aid when he
came out of prison, and that their
friendship lasted over many years
and led to Hamcn's inviting Jennings
IN 1917 to enter into a political deal
whereby HamOn. Sinclair and other
oil men were to raise 100000 with
Which Jennings was to run for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Jennings had come near winning the
governorship in 1914 He said the
oil men wanted him to disrupt the
Democratic party by fighting the
regular organization, and thereby en-
able Hamon to carry the state for
the Republican ticket. He added that
Hamon accomplished this afterward
and complained that the campaign
cost him $500,000
HAMON SELECTS PRESIDENT
During their talk in 1917 jennings
said that HamOn told him that his
plan was to select the next president
OF the United States He believed
that money talks" and he had al
ready consulted Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania and agreed that their
candidate should be Senator Hard
ing.
HAMON PAID ONE MILLION FOR
HARDING
At the Chicago convention in 1920.
Jennings testified, Hamon told him
that he had had to pay S1,OOOOOO to
secure the nomination of Harding
and to get the secretaryship of the
interior for himself He said he was
going to secure control of what pub
lie lands were left; that the Demo-
Gratis had gotten most of them, but
that he would get the oil lands. and
that hundreds of millions of dollars
might be made from them.
PAID PENROSE QUARTER MIL /
LION
Jennings swore that Hamon told
hlm of having paid Penrose S25O,OOO. I
Will Hays $4,000, Harry Daughertv
$4,000, "Mr Manning eff Ohio
$25, 900, as part Of the total of ST.
100000. He added that he had Sc /
cured the promise of the secretary
ship of the interior at a conference
at which Hays and Daugherty We
present, and that Daughertv had
tried in vain to reserve the place for

With this idea in mind he consulted
