conference with Secretary Of the In
terror Fall just before Fall told his
first story as to where he goL Inc

The significance of this revelation

until the scandal was really brought to
Light.
Lenroot and Smoot went to Falls
apartment at Wardman Park Hotel
during Christmas week.
SmoOt Tells Story
The complete story of the Wardman
Park conference was told today by
Senator Smoot:
"IIenrott and I went out to see Fall
at Wardman Park. We told him
everything in the record had been ex-
planned except where he got the money
for Improvement Of his ranch" said
SmOot.
He told us he borrowed it from an
old friend.

'Well. Albert, why don't you tell
the committee where you got it?' we
asked him.
It's a private matter, FAN an

MEXICO CHARGED
HEAVY INTEREST

It's Only a Matter of
Principle with Banker

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct, 5.-Mexico will
have to pay over per cent interest on
the new $50,O00.0OO bond issue floated
for it by J. L. Arlitt, an Austin banker.
"Just matter of principle" Arlitt
says. "The loan was not obtainable
from eastern money interests because
an additional stranglehold was desir-
cd upon the natural resources of our
southern neighbor. My only security
IS the revenue from the Mexican oil
properties and the guarantee of the
Mexican government"
The loan bears a face interest of 6
per cent but the bonds are sold so
low that the annual return on the mon
ey actually invested is about per
cent Adding Arlitt's commission and
that Of his agents brings the annual
charge to Mexico for this $4,000, 900
around 10 per cent. The loan runs

COMMUNISTS in

SOCIALIST CRIMES.

Especial TO Ihe DailV WoTkeFJ
BERLIN, oct. 5.-Huge posters
printed in red, white and blue colors
in ironic reference to the United
States, and bearing printed matter de-
nouncing the socialist party of Ger
many for the aid which it is giving to
the advocates of the Dawes plan,
stare out from the walls of hundreds
Of buildings all over the city.
The poster displays cartoon show
ing an artist drawing the cartoon
which recently appeared in the "Vor.
warts" official organ Of the socialist
party Of Germany, of German work
ing men and women rejoicing in the
ray Of the rising sun, labeled with the
sign of the American dollar. The
Communist artist shows Morgan
standing behind the socialist paper,
dropping money into the free hand Of
the Vorwarts cratoonist.
The printed matter on the poster
reads:
Down with the Dollar-party!
"The socialist party Of Germany is
the greatest aid Of the American rob-
bers. 1t is only thru their co-opera.
ton that the experts report was ac-
cepted, and by that means the indus
tries, banks and railroads of Germany
turned over for the benefit of interna-
tional capital.
"The twelve-hour day, starvation
wages, and new hardships will be the
results for the workers.
"The socialist party lied to you when
in 1919 it told you: Specialization is
going on
To-day German industry is being SO
cialized' by Morgan.
"Workers-the Communist party is
fighting for real socialization, but the
socialist party of Germany dared to
say in the Reichstag: Specialization
means betrayal of the people,
workers and farmers! If you wish
to fight the fight for freedom against
Morgan and his help-mates, you must
enter the ranks of the Communist
Party of Germany in a united front
with the international proletariat and

Australia Has Bed Scare

SYDNEY, N. S. w-The Australian
federal government is prohibiting the
entry of literature by unions affiliated

ably increased share Of the total
world trade; the operation Of the Ger.
man industrial machine in such a
fashion as will require a minimum
value of imports and a maximum
value of high grade manufactured
commodities.
The plain meaning of this is that
the world must buy from Germany
more commodities and services" than
Germany buys from it, than it sells to
Germany. 1t is interesting to note
that Germany's leading customers be-
fore the war were the principal coun.
tries of Europe. In 1918, Germany
sent rs per cent Of her exports to
western, central and eastern European
countries, 1t is obvious then, that
lGermanys creditors must under the
Dawes plan buy more from her and
sell less to her than they did before
the world war.
Let us grant for the sake of argu.
ment and for the moment only that
the German masses can be forced to
produce the necessary surplus. The
question arises then: will the capital.
lists of the creditor and other coun.
tries be willing to buy enough from
Germany so as to enable her to nav
for the commodities she herself must
buy abroad and the billions Of gold
marks to be turned over by her IL
|reparations?
The Great Contradiction,
And here we come to the giant con
tradiction inherent in the who'll
Dawes scheme. Granted even tha
the German masses can be completed
enslaved, the success of the operation
OF the plan is contingent upon interns
tional capital-primarily American
coming to Germany as investments 4

ties, and so on. Profits on this can

al capitalists only thru the develor

Johnstone called attention to very
stupid cartoon in the current issue
of the Federation News, attempting to
show Foster lined up with Dawes.
"The Workers Party is the only poll
tical party with a revolutionary ticket
in the field" Johnstone declared. 1--WE

what he had not seen or heard.
