Davis Committee Won't
Disturb Imperialists

NEW YORK.-American methods
of government both in the Virgin
Islands and in Porto Rico are to
be brought up on "the carpet" and
subjected to vigorous examination.
The Federated Press is informed
that the commission appointed by
Secretary Of Labor Davis reached
New York on it's way to the Virgin
Islands to investigate economic con-
ditions on this particular Caribbean
possession of the United States.
Expect Display Of Innocence
Especially the starvation wages
and sinister working conditions of
laborers on the islands will be called
to the commissions attention. A
cynical observer anticipates that the
United States governments commits
sion will deliver report with an
innocence appropriate to the name
of the Islands.
The government body is under the
Craftsmanship of George H. Wood
son, Des Moines, Iowa. The COM
mission leaves this week for the

simultaneously, the Porto Rican
delegation, appointed by the Legisla-
ture at San Juan to seek from Pres
ident Coolidge and the American
Congress a declaration as to the
status of Porto Rica, arrived here
yesterday.
The delegation, of which Horace
NJ. Towner, Governor Of Porto Rico
is ex-oficio member, was met by rep
resentatives Of the State Department
the army and navy and several con
gressmen.
Put Forth Wild Claims
In Washington, the delegates will
be received by the President, Sec
rotary of War and Appropriation
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The delegation is putting forward
claims for mild concessions in au
tonomy to Porto Rican government
institutions.

WILL U. S. WITHDRAW
RECOGNITION FROM THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT?

WASHINGTON, d. c. - The
French government is trying to quiz
city repudiate its war debt to the
United States, Senator Borah
charged in the Senate.
There is every indication" he
said, that the French government
is declining not only to meet the
interest payments but even has made
no effort to adjust the debt as a
creditor acting in good faith natu-
rally would desire to make.
while this debt is technically
due the United States government,
in reality It is due to the taxpayers
Of the United States"

"You would expect from what you
hear that in staid, thrifty, almost
respectable capitalistic Germany the
workers would be we'll nourished and
housed, and constituting the bulwark
Of an able and trusted government.
On the other hand you would expect
to find Soviet Russia, under a Com
munist regime, to be suffering under
the very opposite Of all these good
conditions.
"A trip to Europe at this time
would be quick to convince you, how
ever, that there are many things you
know in theory are not so when it
comes to practice. In Russia today
the workers are well fed, paid in
stable currency and giving enthusi-
astic support to thlir own proletar-
ian government-the oldest and
strongest in Europe today. In Ger
many starvation stalks the masses,
and insecurity bordering on open civil
war prevails from one end of the

German army field kitchens to dish

PANAMA CANAL is
EAS Y MARK FOR
BIG NAVAL GUNS
But Easily Defended
from Enemy Airships

WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET,
COLON, Panama.-Two main devel-
opments stood out today after the
first day of maneuvers in the great
naval war games now under way
here to test the defenses of the At
lantic entrance to the Panama canal.
These are.
First-an enemy feet lying Is or
20 miles off Colon, armed with 16
inch guns, would be able to lombard
the vital Gatun locks, which are
seven miles inland, without danger
from the shore defenses, the largest
guns of which are ID inch rifles,
which would be outranged ten miles.
Second-enemy naval aircraft could
only work at great disadvantage
since they would be forced to find
a base for operations and at tn
same time have to face the attac'
of defending air squadrons.

CHILDREN UNDER
SIX YEARS ARE
ON SLAVE MARKET
Throwing Men and
Women Out of Work

Child labor is increasing, according
to statement issued by the Western
Press Committee of the National
Child Labor Committee. "Unemploy-
ment of men and women is increas.
ing. Children are showing men. and
women out of jobs"
The last Sunday in January is set
aside as National Child Labor Day.
There are states that have enacted
and endorsed good laws against child
labor, but even in those states goods
produced by child labor in other
states are consumed.
The Supreme Court declared un-
constitutional law initiating child
labor passed by Congress. The capt.
talists did not like this law They
said it interfered with the liberty of
the individual, so now after the seven
mummies who are supposed to inter-
pref all laws passed by Congress de-
livered their decision, children under
six can enjoy the blessings Of living
in free land where they can be
peddled out TO manufacturers and
have their poor little bodies coined
into gold.
Thousands Of children less than
twelve years old are employed. Child
labor does not mean selling news
papers or working a few hours on
holidays, but toiling long hours at
machines in factories and fields, ex-
cessive tasks at low pay and no
time for education, play or healthy
growth.

Benedict Arnold" Is
Mildest Epithet

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Another
attack on former Secretary of the
Interior Fall will be made before
the senate, by Senator Hehin, DEM
ocrat, of Alabama, within a day or
two. Hefiin will follow up the as
sault begun yesterday by Senator
Caraway, Democrat, Of Arkansas,
who charged Fall with corruption in
leasing the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserve to Sinclair interests.
Hefiin says he has material for
"a series of speeches" regarding Fall
and the naval oil leases.
Caraway also expects to follow
up his first criticisms of Fall with
further attacks. His speech yes
terday was one Of the bitterest ever
heard in the Senate. He compared
Fall with Benedict Arnold, and the
leasing of Teapot Dome to Arnold's
attempted turnover Of West Point to
the British.
He said Fall had confessed to cor
ruption in his testimony to the SEN
ate investigating committee regard
ing the source Of 100000 loan he
said he got to help finance purchase
Of a New Mexico ranch.
